An Indiana Bank Suffers Through the
Chemical.

1NDIANAPoLIs, May 1.-THE Capital
National Bank of this city has suspended.
The State Bank Examiner is in charge.
The failure was caused by that OF the
Chemical National Bank of Chicago. which
owed the Capital National 100000 The
Capital also carried a large amount Of
Premier Steel Works paper The latter
went into the receivers hands Friday.
The bank was the depository for a num-
Der of building associations.
1t is said that the cause OF the failure is
poor collections on loans. This collapse
and that at Indianapolis caused a break of
2k cents in the price Of wheat here
The officials Of the bank have made a
statement in which they say the capital
stock is $780, 900. The bank has done
profitable business. 1t was run on a con-
servatiye basis and there was nothing in
the banks condition to cause uneasiness
till Tuesday, when the failure Of the Chem
zeal National Of Chicago occurred. The
Capital National had $4,000 on deposit in
that bank. The fact of the Capitals re-
lations with that bank was known aud
caused distrust and heavy drafts. This
made the balance so heavy against the
Capital Bank that in the present financial
stringency it was not thought best TO try
to get outside aid to tide the bank over, so
it was decided to suspend.
The bank has available assets of over
100000 in addition to the money tied up in
the Chemical Bank. The assets and La
bilities of the Capital Bank at the close of
business yesterday were S4,465 962 The
officers add that the business is in such
shape as to be readily settled up There
are funds on hand to pay % per cent to the
deposltors and the paper can be easily
realized on, so there need be little delay in
getting the balance.

A Failure That VIII Carry Down

CHICAGO, May 1.-THE Columbia Nation

1t had a capital of S1,0O0,OOO and deposits
of Sl,4CO,OOO Rumors that it was in trou-
BILE have been current nearly a week. 1t
did business with small country banks
mostly. 1t was not in esteem among the
other city banks.
Notices announcing the suspension were
posted on the doors and soon after Bank
Examiner Sturges took charge of it,
By the authority Of the Comptroller of
the Currency the bank was reorganlzed
two years ago out of the old United States
National. The assets are estimated at
50, 25O, o00, of which 100000 are deposits,
The remainder discounts. The liabilities
are S1,5O0,00O.
a constant run since the announcement
of the Chemical Bank suspension caused
the directors to close its doors. A call for
help was made this morning, but there
was not time for investigation before re-
spending to it and suspension came.
The Columbia was not a member of tie
clearinghouse. The last statement, May
4, was as follows: Assets-Loans and dis
counts, S1,62l, 932; bonds. ssh, 25S furni-
ture and fixtures, S12.716 exchange, S6l5,-

$4,000; deposits, 81. 437. $50. Total, g.
594 ISL.
President Virgins says the immediate
cause Of the failure was suit by the Sioux
City Loan and Trust Company, which
failed few days ago. The Columbia had
$50 0oO on deposit with that concern. and
the news of this fact led to the run which
ended in the banks collapse.
A meeting Of the officers and directors
was held this afternoon and at its con-
ciusion it was announced that the bank
would probably resume business IN a short
time. Cashier Preston of the Metropolitan
National Bank, through which the Column
bia cleared. said tonight that the failure
was not a bad one and that he saw no rea-
son why the suspension should be anything
but a temporary one.

their investments in brokers' loans and

INCINERATED HERSELF.
A Woman Pours Coal Oil Over Her
Clothing and Lights II.
Amador Record.


Thursday morning, April 81, at 10 o'clock,
the husband of Mrs. Louisa MerlinO went
to his home in Amador City and attacked
with a club Manuel Costa, who had been
on intimate terms with the family for
fifteen years, and beat him up pretty badly.
The cause of the attack is supposed to
have arisen from family difficulties. In
medatey after this happened the wife
sent her little girl in the cellar alter some
coal oil and upon receiving it went into the
kitchen and poured the oil over herself
and the floor and ignited it with a match.
The screams Of the children brought the
husband, who in the meantime had gone
into the cellar to drink wine with neigh
Dor. TO the scene, who with the aid of
blankets extinguished the flames. The I'M
fortunate woman was burned in a shock
ing manner, and all the physicians could
do when called was to relieve the pain as
much as possible and await death, which
came on the following day. When asked
why she committed the terrible act her
only reply was that she wanted TO die, and
that if this did not kill her she would use
knife. Two children survive her. A
Coron er's inquest was held, but no EVIL
dence concerning the trouble that led up
to the tragedy was disclosed.
