Failure Of Nrsrquand & 60.

New Y6lK City.-The banking and
brokerage house Of Henry Marquand
& Co. has made a general assignment
without preferences to Frank Sullivan
Smith. The generally credited expla-
nation Of the failure was the inability
of the firm to secure enough financial
support to take up Its $1,6O0,000 paper
at the Seventh National Bank. As
signee Smith at once put an account
ant at work OH the books of the firm.
He said that he had no idea yet as to
the accuracy of the report in banking
circles, which placed the liabilities at
S6OOO,OOO, outside Of $2,OO0,00O, be-
lieved to be due to Henry G.. Mar

BUFFALO BANK FAILURES
The Niagara Dragged Down by the
Crash Of the City National.
Fears Of Depositors Wero Quickly Al
layed by Superintendent Ki1burn-
Declared Other Banks Safe.

Buffalo, N. Y.-State Superintendent
of Banks F. D. Kilburn has closed the
doors Of the Niagara Bank. a State
institution. The first that the deposi-
tors knew of the banks trouble was
when the notice closing it was posted.
The clerks Of the institution were as
much surprised as the depositors. The
bank is q small one, with q capital
stock of 100000 and no surplus. Its
failure Is due to the recent failure OF
the City National Bank.
The City National Bank, according
to one statement, had loaned $4OO,OOO
to the different concerns in which T.
II. Griffin, its Vice-President, and also
President Of the Niagara Bank, was
interested. The failure Of the City Ma
tional under the burden Of paper which
the Controller of the Currency claimed
represented injudicious loans, taken In
connection with the fact that concerns
in which Mr.. Griffin Is interested had
borrowed from the Niagara Bank
nearly twice the amount Of dts capital
stock, 100000, leaving 1t with its Sur-
plus entirely wiped out, 1t is said,
caused Superintendent Kilburn to close
it.
AS the news Of the second failure
spread over town depositors focked to
other banks to draw their money. The
savings banks, as well as the discount
banks, were called upon. Every de-
mand was paid.
Superintendent Kilburn made q posi-
tive statement that no other bank In
Buffalo Is at present in an embarrassed
condition, and he does not think any
more failures will follow the crash OF
the City National and the Niagara.
When this statement became public
depositors in the various banks began
to feel easier, and soon business af-
fairs were back to their normal condi-
ton.
The last statement showing the con-
dition Of the Niagara Bank, filed with
the State Department in Albany on
June 8, gave it's total resources as
S1,O61, ,194. This included loans, $685.
S76; liability Of directors as makers,
$SS,230; due from banks, $SS,SO9; real
estate, $37,694; mortgages. $9647;
stocks and bonds, $S3, 762; specie, $46,-
122; cash items, $27,3S6.
Among the liabilities are: capital,
100000; undivided profits, $35,033;
due depositors, $676,772; due banks,
S4O203; due savings banks, $1O5, ,1S4;
due State Treasurer, $4,000; other
liabilities, $4,000. This report says
the bank had no surplus fund on
June g.

The Seventh National Unable to Meet OBJ.
legations and Controllers Requirements.
New York City.-The Seventh Ma
tional Bank has closed its doors. Clear
Ing House officials do not predict that
It will resume business. Its counsel,
however, hints that it may be reor-
ganized.
The bank received no comfort from
the Clearing House, and its plight
came of inability to settle debit bal
ance there of S644,1OS.95, and to meet
the demands Of its country correspond
ents and the requirements Of the Con-
troller of the Currency that cash be
substituted for the S1,600,000 of Mar
Quand & Co.'S paper.
There was Clearing House authority
FOR the statement that no weak spots
have so far been detected in any other
bank or financial institution. Officers
Of several concerns supposed to- be
identified with Seventh National in
terests said that the failure had not
affected them.

The Failure 20 Obtain $4,000 From
Charles d. Barney by Threats Against
His Family Leads to An Attempt to
MGder - The Nature Of the Box Dis
covered by tho Coaehman.
Philadelphia, Penn.-Seyera1 efforts
that have been made to blackmail
Charles D. Rarney out Of $4,000 by
threats to kill members of his family
eliminated in an attempt to injure
Miss Laura Barney, his youngest
daughter. A few days ago Charles
Storm, Mr.. Barney's coachman, went
as usual for the mail to the Ogontz
Postofice. He received several letters
and package, the latter addressed to
Miss Laura. 1t happened that an end
Of the box had been broken, and from
1t dropped several fine black grains of
powder. Storm showed them to the
postmaster, who said they were gun
powder. He then took the package
to the house, but before he gave 1t to
Miss Barney warned her to be careful
She cut away the paper and found
within a two-pound candy box, and
when she removed the lid Of this she
found the box was nearly full of pow
der. Fastened to the lid was a pin
which held in place a diminutive
hammer attached to a spring, and be-
meath it an explosive cap, which was
80 placed that the spark from it would
have ignited the powder.
There was sufficient powder to kill
person standing near had 1t exploded.
When Mr.. Barney returned home he
reported the case to the police here.
He also gave the police several threat
ening letters. The first of these he re-
ceiyed on February 10. It demanded
that $4,000, $1,000 in ten-dollar notes
and the remainder in hundred-dollar
notes, be given to an agent Of the
writer.
No attention was paid to the letter.
On March 9 a second letter was re-
ceived demanding that the money be
sent to Stanley Wood, Ogontz, and
threatening that If 1t was not sent the
writer would kill Mrs. Barney or her
daughter and then kill himself.
Two detectives were employed in
the case, but they learned nothing.
Two weeks later third letter was re-
ceived by Mr.. Barney. This demand
ed that the money be placed near Chel-
ton Hills station. at the foot Of the
walk to John Wanamaker's country
place. A bundle was placed in the
designated spot, and detectives hired
to watch 1t, with no success. 81. ..
No more was thought Of the letters
until the box was received by Miss
Laura. The letters were printed, but
the addresses were written in FEM
mime hand which was disguised by
writing backward. Mr.. Barney Is
son-in-law Of Jay Cooke, the veteran
fnancier, and is a weIl-known stock
broker. His home is situated near
those of many other millfonaires,
among them being William L. Elkins,
P. A. B. Widener and John B. Stetson.
It is said that letters making similar
threats have been sent to other men
