ANOTHER CHICAGO FAILURE.
Herman schaeffber g. Co., Private
Bankers. Assign.

CHICAGO, June 5.-Herman schaeffner
& Co, private bankers. at No. 100 Wash
ington street. made an assignment In
the county court this morning. A
statement OF the affairs OF the bank
was hled with an application for a re-
ceiyer.
II is stated that the creditors Of the
bank viii lose nothing. Attorney Levy
Mayer, representing the assignee. stated
this morning. that. even I'm the event Of
a forced liquidation. there will be enough
money TO meet all liabilities The firm
was considered one Of the most solid
private banks in the country IL did a
small deposit and brokerage business,
and its greatest business was CONNER
cial brokerage business with banks all
over the country.
In the regular course OF business the
bank sold commercial paper without in
dorsing II, and also without any liability
Most Of the paper was bought on the
strength OF mercantile houses, by which
it was indOrsed.
The assignment was undoubtedly caused
by the disappearance OF Henry Schaen-
ner. the senior member OF the hrm, OF
which the other member is A. T Beck
er. Yesterday at nOOE Mr.. Schaeffner
left his coat in the Office. and stated 10 his
HdfAIfl AlihA ltt Mdc fDils out Oh an
errand. Since then nothing has been
seen or heard OF him. He has not been
at his home. at SlT Wabash avenue, and
the police have made vain efforts 10
discover his whereabouts. This fact
started a rumor on the Board OF Trade
this morning that he had committed sui
eide. The worst is feared by his friends
ana business associates.
Mr. Schaeffner's partner was so much
moved over the disappearance OF his
associate that last night he became IN.
and to-day he is at home suffering from
the depression, and is so III that ne is
confined to his bed. The bank had been
in trouble for several days. and the i'm
pending disaster appeared to have a
most distressing effect upon Mr. Schaeff- |
ner.
No statement OF the assets and liabil- |
flies has been made. or is possible until |
the assignee goes over the books. A |
meeting Of those interested In the bank |
Will be held Monday or Tuesday next |
to see about resuming business.

ASYLUM INVESTIGATION.
Statement of Secretary Strong Of
State Board of Charities.

A JOURNAL reporter saw Secre-
tary Strong of the state board OF
charities at the early train for Port
land this morning. He said: ave
are through for the present with
our investigation at the asylum.
We work, d from 10 q. IN. to nearly
midnight and examined over 20
witnesses, people on the inside
and outside. We had all the testi-
mony taken down by the official
stenographer of the circuit court,
Mr.. Sholes who will inside of
week reduce the notes to writing
and file copy with the governor
and secretary of state. This inves-
tigation will be productive of great
good to the state, as there Is already
greater air of vigilance about the
institution. A new arrangement as
to use of keys on wards will be Or
dered by the board"
THE SECRETARY
is very emphatic in bis belief that
the work of this board is very i'm
portant to the state, and appears to
be guided by desire to take the
functions of the body and morals OF
the state right under his wing.
1t is stated that DR.. Rowland was
not allowed to be represented by
counsel or to ross-exanine the wit
ness, or introduce testimony, and
that the secretary and DIR. w. E.
CARL prejudged the case by insert
ing in their report, which IL already
printed but not yet filed with the
governor, the following, from which
it seems there was preliminary
examination"
"Facts sufficient to cast doubt on
the efficiency of the control of the
institution; liberties appear to have
been permitted incompatible with
proper discipline and a generally
loose system of accountability fol
keys and admission to wards seemed
to have prevailed. This preliminary
examination having demonstrated
the propriety Of full judicial inyes
tigation, the committee upon hospi
tai has called meeting for this pur
pose for Tuesday, Jan. 10th, 1898, a
10 o'clock a. m. at the insane hospital
when all matters of complaint, ant
the general management of the hos
pital will be examined into, and
judicial investigation under oatl
will be had. While the result of tina
investigation cannot be given here
