At 4 o'clock Monday morning June 4,
Steele & Walker, one of the largest whole
sale grocery firms on the Missouri made an
assignment for the benefit of their creditors,
w. w. Wheeler and Beattie Weakley being
named as tT istees.
The failure is the result of lack of conf
dence. AT the time of the Schuster failure
several weeks ago, when it became known
that he was a heavy debtor to the First Ma
tional bank, in which bank Steele d Walker
were both large stockholders, the creditors
of the latter firm began pressing their
claims and the failure was the result.
When it was announced that the firm had
made an assignment. a run was started on
the First National and the Central Savings
banks, in both of which Messrs. Schuster,
Steele and Walker we're large stockholders.
Considerable excitement was caused by the
run, and thousands of 6clars were with
drawn shortly after the opeAing hour.
Great crowds gathered around the First
National and Central Savings banks.

Proceedings to Collect Union Pacific Debt.

Proceedings to Collect Union Pacific Debt.
WASHINGTON, D. c., June 7.-Attorney
General Olney has filed in California court
a claim for $4,000, 900 against the estate of
Leland Stanford.
The claim is the proportonate share of
the debt of the Central Pacific railroad which
the department of justice estimates that the
estate owes the United States, upon the the
ory that personal assets of individual men,
bers OF the original Central Pacific syndi-
cate are liable for the debt of the corpora
ton now due, or which will become due the
govern ment.
The general theory upon which the depart
ment is proceeding seems to be that the
original Central Pacific syndicate, Hunting
ton, Stanford, Hopkins, Croker ana Cotton,
really constituted partnership, controlling
at all times and absolutely all the construc-
tion companies and other corporations con-
nected with or engaged in building the road
and used such companies and side corpora
tiOns as mere agency to further their per
sonal ends and 10 erect the fabric of their
fortunes.
