The following notice was posted on the doors of the Merchants Trust com pany: “This bank is closed by order of the board of directors, and will go into li quidation. (Signed) Felix T. Pope, president.” Another notice read as follows: “This bank has gone into liquida tion. John P. Edmondson has been appointed receiver.” , The cause of the suspensfon of the Merchants’ Trust company is said to have been over loans on discounts. One of the directors said to a repre sentative of the Associated Press that the three institutions had ample as sets. and would pay dollar for dollar.

He has been the darkest sort of a dark horse candidate. Around city hall the rumor of his candidacy was circulated as authentic, and almost everyone believed it. This is one of many appointments about which Mayor McClellan has not consulted Boss Murphy. Gen. Wheel er is the mayor's own choice, it is de clared . General Wheeler has been living in New York most of the time since the iSpanish-Ameriean war.
