THE INJUNCTION DISSOLVED.
Failure 10 stop fheI seaboard Con-
sOIidntion In North CnroInn.


RALEIGH, n. c.. Dec. 2I-Attorneys
for Thomas F. Ryan today secured an in
junction from Judge Thomas R Purnen,
of the United States Circuit Court, re-
straining the Williams Syndicate from ear
rying into effect the consolidation of rail-
way lines known as the Seaboard Air Line.
Later in the day Judge Purnell dissolved
the injunction, after hearing arguments
from counsel-on both sides. Ryans attor-
neys opposed argument at this time be-
cause Of the absence Of the attorneys who
prepared the case.
Judge Purnell held that both Ryan and
Williams being residents OF other States. he
could not pass upon the matter OF the pur-
chase of Seaboard and Roanoke stocks. The
fact that a similar suit had been instituted
in Virginia, Judge Purnell said, influenced
him in dissolying the injunction. Conclud-
ing his decision, Judge Purnel said he
had not been satisfied that an iTTeparable
injury IS threatened Mr.. Ryan, or that
no legal remedy exists, and therefore. the
injunction was dissolved. William H. Page,
counsel for Mr.. Ryan took exception TO the
courts decision and gave bond for 81, 600
for continuance of the case, when it will
come up on its merits. Counsel for Ryan
announced that the prosecution of the suit
would be continued to the bitter end.

A BOSTON BANK suspENps.
The Doors CIoYed 9nd a Temporary
RecciNcr AnnnInteh


The Comptroller Of the Currency an
nounced last night that the Globe National
Bank of Boston had closed its doors. by
order of the Comppollfr and that Special
Examiner Daniel c. Wing had been placed
in charge Of the institution as temporary
receiver The GLOBE Bank had capital of
SlCoo0OO, and its downfall was caused by
losses sustained in The recent failure of the
Broadway NationalsBaEk, Of the same city.
and by the decline in, value OF copper stocks.
In discussing the matter last night Comp
troller Dawes said;
Some time ago Mr.. Wing who is one
OF the experts employed in the system of
special bank examinations recently inaug-
urated, discovered a serious condition of
affairs in the Globe National Bank. which
he Immediately brought TO the attention Of
the Comptroller, and under his direction
to the directors OF the bank. The direc-
tors very Iaudably agreed and undertook
TO make good the doubtful and bad assets
found, and have greatly improved the con-
dItlon of the bank since that time. They
also delivered TO the Comptroller a written
guaranty that they would remove the
doubtful assets.
Recent failures in Boston have Iessened
the value Of the unperfOrmed portion of the
guaranty. and involved the soIvency OF the
bdLh III view Oh luG ldtl 10 allow the
bank to remain open longer would result in
injustice to unsecured creditors. now that
the condition Of insolvency is found to
exist il becomes my duty under the law
to appoint a receiver. A considerable cash
dividend can be paid to the creditors at
once The condition of the bank was dis
covered by Special Examiner Wing in time
to secure such action on the part Of the
directors as will probably prevent the fail
from iTfifcfir,pr
depositors but the directors and stock
holders viii lose heavily"
Two or three days ago the clearing house
OF Boston advanced $3,500 000 to assist the
Globe in its difficulty all but about $2QO, coo
having been paid in cash before the close
OF business yesterday. Something like
$2G0G 1000 Of this amount is in the banks
possession now in cash. The clearing
house declined to lend further assistance.
Comptroller Dawes became satisfied yes
terday that the bank must in any event
close its doors very soon and it was seen
that in order 10 protect all the depositors
the institution should be placed in the
hands Of a temporary receiver before Ger
tain creditors should withdraw their funds
at the expense OF less fortunate creditors
or depOsitOrs In the case OF the Globe
Bank, as in the case of many other banks
in principal cities, holding deposits large
IN proportion to the capital stock, the
losses OF depositors will be comparatively
small and the losses of stockholders and
directors viii be comparatively large A
detailed statement of the banks condition
at the close Of business Wednesday is
expected by Comptroller Dawes today.
The decline in copper values, In which
the Globe Bank has for long time been
largely interested is responsible to a large |
extent for the disaster, but the more i'm
mediate causes were the closing of the !
