THE RUN BEGINS TO ABATE.
Everybody Paid Who Wanted Money and
Millions in Sight.


Millions in Sight.
The days developments showed an in
creased steadiness among the money insti-
buttons of Chicago. True the people con-
tinued to walk up to the wickets of the
paying tellers to demand their deposits,
but the numbers were reduced, and more
widespread feeling of confidence assumed
the place of the panicky outburst of Mon
day. Those banks upon which the run
was continued were the Illinois Trust and
Savings. the Hibernian, the Union Trust
and Savings, the Dime Savings, and the
Bank of Commerce Those that demanded
the lawful notice of withdrawal of deposits
were the Union Trust and Savings and the
Globe Savings
In the afternoon it was easy to see that
the excitement was dying ont. Philip ID.
Armour was responsible for the allaying
of the fears of many of the depositors of
the Illinois Trust and Savings by walking
mp to the line of people and announcing
that he would guarantee the payment of
their accounts or pay the same About 100
of the frightened depositors took advan-
tage of the millionaire packers offer; some
accepted a written guarantee, some were
given checks, and in one case, that of an
old woman with deposit OF 500, the
amount was paid in cash.
The banks closed their days business at
the usual hour aud the directors make the
statement that they are prepared to stand
the run for an indefinite period and are
satisfied with the condition of affairs as
shown by the signs of returning confidence.
Little more than the usual daily demand
for currency in exchange for coin was
made at the sub-treasury by the local
banks. The Clearing House association
discussed the general situation and graft
flying reports were received indicating that
the savings banks were in good shape to
meet all requirements.
Every bank attacked had ample backing
feaides the cash on hand. When business
opened there were great piles Of green

CAUSED BY A LABOR STRIKE.
The Assignment of the Grant Locomotive
Works at Chicago.


CHICAGO, June THE Grant Locomo-
tive works have made voluntary assign
ment. The deed of assignment to w. n.
Alderman and James II. Wilson has been
filed in the county court. The assignees
have taken charge of the extensive plant
of the company in the town of Cicero, but
the shops will not be shut down. The
company's liabilities on May I were S41o,-
$50. 80, and its assets 81, 15l ,02010, leaving
asurplus over all Indebtedness of sac, oG9 a..
The cause of the company's embardrass-
ment it that it has invested all of its
capital stock in its plant. Besides, it has
been working upon large order for loco
motives an has tied up large amount of
assets in them.
As they cannot be realized upon until
delivered, and as the company has been
delayed and hindered in completing the
locomotives by the strike which has been
going on for the past three months under
the order of the International Association
of Machinists. and the financial cOndi-
ton of the money market has prevented
the company from raising funds to bridge
over the emergency the stockholders de
cided that all parties interested will be
better protected by putting the property
of the company in the hands of the as.
signee. The assets are so abundant that
there is little danger of any creditor losing
a cent.
The liabilities of the company, aside from
the mortgage of 500. 00G, consist chiefly Of
Indebtedness for material used in the con
struction of locomotives. When the strike
of the machinists took place the company
was employed on n contract to build fifty
five engines for the Chicago, Burlington
and Quincy Railroad company. This con.
tract amounted to over S55O,000, and when
the strike took place all the money was tied
mp. While the concern was situated thus
some of the smaller creditors began to file
suits. a judgment was entered against It,
and seeing that all its creditors would drop
down on ii in consequence the stockholders
decided to make an assignment.

SPLIT IN THE ANTITRUST.
Donneny Finds the Maj ority Not Radical
Enough for Him.

CHICAGO, June 7-Ignatius Donnelly
declined to act on the resolutions commit
tee of the antitrust convention because he
did not believe it radical enough for him,
but later reconsidered and acted. The re-
suit came near being three reports, but
that was averted and the committee kept
UP a wrangle all morning. In the mean
time letters were read and speeches made
in the convention. Judge Tourgee wrote
proposing the prohibition of the combin-
ing of one corporation with another, or
holding another's stock. He also suggest
ed restricting the uses to which trust
deeds may be applied
But the bombshell in the convention
was Elisha Greenwood's letter. He said
trusts We're a good thing; that they re-
duced prices by combination and should
be let alone, except as to strict supervision
by government. Then Weaver made ii red
hot speech against trusts and finally the
talk was ended by report from the reso-
buttons committee in effect demanding
better execution of existing laws against
trusts and all combinations of capital and
the enactment of more stringent laws upon
the same subject.
Donnelly moved an amendment asking
congress to buy for reasonable" price
all anthracite coal lands and rent them;
that as a final remedy trusts be outlawed
and that the courts be given to under
stand that they had no right to invalidate
a law. After a warm debate the resolu-
tions were adopted with slight modifica-
ton, Donnelly defeated, and bimetallic
resolution passed.
The convention adjourned sine die, but
the Donnelly men We're not satisfied and
held a convention of their own where every
resolution proposed was adopted. Weaver
was chairman and about thirty persons
attended. The resolutions demand that
congress shall take over coal lands of all
kinds, also timber lands; free coinage of
silver and conflscation of trust property.

LIFE'S DRAMA ENDS.
The Curtain Rings Down For
Edwin Booth.
A GREAT ACTOR MAKES A LAST EXIT

And Deaths Sleep travels Up the Sleave
of Care" for One Whose Fame Was
That He Held the Mirror Up to Nature
aud Acted Well His Part-His Career
on the Stage Briefly Sketched.
NEW YORK, June Edwin Booth, the
great tragedian, quietly passed away at
his apartments in the Players club at 1:15
o'clock this morning. At his bedside at
the time were Mr.. and Mrs. Grossman, his
son-in-law and daughter; his physician,
DR.. ST. Clair Smith; Superintendent Nc
Gonigle; William Rispham, an intimate
friend. and Charles Farryll. The death of
the renowned actor, which had been ex.
pected at any time during the past two
days, very peaceful, being scarcely
noticeable to the anxious watchers at his
bedside
Was a Marylander by Birth.
Edwin Booth was born in Bel Air. near
Baltimore, Md. Nov. IS, 1888, and was the
son of Junius Brutus Booth, the elder, an
English actor, who obtained his reputation
however. mainly in the United States. He
was named Edwin Thomas out of compli-
ment to his fathers friends, Edwin For
rest and Thomas Flynn, both great actors.
Although the elder Booth at first object

appearance in part occurred in 1s49 at
the Boston Museum. where he appeared
as TreSsel in Orchard Ill"
A Success From His First Appearance.
He made success in this small part
and from that time forward no question
was raised AS to his continuing on the
stage. His capacity, indeed, so demon
strated itself that he was presently play
ing Cassie in "Othello" and Willford in
the Iron Chest" his performance in the
latter character being, even at that time,
highly commended. During two years
Edwin Booth continued to play with his
father in different cities, making his first
appearance in New York Sept. -, 1850 at
the National theater. Chatham street. in
the character of "Wilford.'
Goes in Place of His Father.
The following year he took the most i'm
portant step in his dramatic career up to
that period by playing "Richard III' at
the same theatre in place of his father, who
had been taken suddenly i'll. This per-
Torrance gave him at once the reputation
of being an actor of unusual promise. At
the time the elder brother of Edwin. b.
Booth, Jr.-was manager OF "A theatre in
San Francisco. and the two went thither
and played with him in the popula~ pieces
of the day.
