| LOUISVILLE, KY, Jan. 15.--The Ger

condition for three years owing to the
failure of the Louisville deposit bank
by which it lost 975, 900 and there are
also between S25O,OOO and $4,000
worth of law suits pending, growing
out of the banks connection with the
| failure. Since the first Of the year SIS,
000in deposits have been withdrawn and
several days ago Bank Examiner Escott
began an investigation. Saturday he
wired the result to the comptroller of
the currency, and the order came for
the bank to be closed at once. The
banks last statement, made Decem ber

deposits of $3.50, 375. %. The reserve

first National, of Newport, Too
CINCINNATI, Jan. 1s.-The First ma
tional bank of Newport, Ky, failed to
open its doors. The news spread
rapidly, and before long there was
crowd of excited depos sitors assembled
in front of the bank, clamoriug for an
explanation. No one was allowed
in the institution. The officials sent
out word that the bank was solvent,
but had been forced to close down for
lack of ready money Assurances
were offered that no one would lose
anything. The depositors, however,
refused to be satisfied. Ugly ru-
mors found expression. Where
they came from no one just seemed
to know, but the excitement
grew still greater when it became
known that Comptroller of the Cur
rency Eckels and national bank ex-
aminer, from Washington, were to be
in Newport during the day. The news,
as it arrived, was to the effect that
their trip was designed especially for
the purpose of examining the affairs of
the bank. The capital stock of the
bank is $500, 600. John Trapp is presi-
dent.
None of the bank officials could be
seen. President Trapp is prostrated at
his home, and is forbidden by his
physician to see anyone. He is under
the influence of opiates. Cashier Yout
sey, it is also claimed, is confined to his
bed by sickness.
