THE LAUD DEAD. Tlie Losses to the Parties Cocernetl Nearly Four Million Dollars. • Chicago, June 18.—The great failure of McGeoch, Everingham& Cos. on Saturday was the all-absorbing theme of conversation yesterday. The commercial world entirely ignored the fact on Sunday. The loss by the great firm swells to startling figures. It transpires that, according to the most reliable reports, Mr. McGeoch sunk $1,050,000 in the. deal and Daniel Wells, jr., $750,000, a total of $1,800,000 up to the morning of the failure. The collapse involves a loss of $1,000,000 in addition, equally divided between them. A tabular statement of the actual losses involved in the failure now stands as follows: Bank in the <b*al— Peter McGeoch $1,050,000 Daniel Wells, jr 750,000 Failed for— Peter McGeoch 800,000 Daniel Wells, jr 800,000 Total, McGeoch and Wells 3,400,000 Other failures— J. M. Ball 100,000 Fills & Light nor 60.000 Holley A Allen 50,u00 Tabor ifc Wilson 40,000 M. is. Cralts & Cos 30,000 Miscellaneous, total 50,000 Grand total $3,730,000 This morning, on ’Change, was looked forward to with considerable trepidation, in apparent fear that the market might take another downward turn, but it proved otherwhise, and at 10 o’clock July option on larff. which closed at 59.77J4 on Saturday, had risen to $9.95, and the feeling was comparatively firm. Beyond the firms reported in these dispatches on Saturday none others have succumbed, and the firm of Ellis Sc Lightner, among those reported as crippled, have transfered their deals, and in this manner have tided over. The leading and vital question of the day is, what will Mr McGeoch pay on the dollar? It is considered certain that Daniel Well®, jr., will meet his half of the indebtedness dollar for dollar. The remaining members of the, firm are not taken into consideration. Mr. McGeoch has always paid dollar for dollar. It is said that on Friday night great beads of perspiration fell from nis brow as he contemplated the morrow, and he remarked that if he should fail to meet every cent of his obligations at this time he would end his life. A plan is already formulated for meeting his obligations. After all settlements are made with those who have securities, twenty-five cents on the dollar will be paid down, twenty-five cents on three months’ noteH, and fifty cents on longer time will be offered in settlement. It will be noted in the tabular statement above that he owes SBOO,OOO, for which he has not a cent to put up. Os tiiis, by the plan mentioned. he will have to pay $200,000 down, $200,000 in three months in notes, and $400.000 in long-time notes. Some person will ask the question, if he only lacked the SBOO.000, why did he not accept the $1,000,0)0 offered by the syndicate of friends? It will be noted in the tabular statement above that he would have required $6,200,000 in cash to make good the securities held against him. But, in reality, he was “called,” together with those holders and others on 300,000 tierces of lard valued at $10,500,000. What good would $1,000,000 have been to him, especially as the lard had declined in vaiue several millions? The casting up of accounts among the smaller firms forced to the wall by the break ‘in lard on Saturday, so far as it has progressed, gives no occasion to change the estimate of losses already sent in these dispatches. Nothing definite is obtainable as yet from McGeoch, Everingham Sc Cos. One of the results of the break and the excitement caused by it all over tiie country, was that the Western Union Telegraph Company sent and received the largest number of dispatches ever handled in the Chicago office in one day. The committee of the Board of Trade investigating McGeoch’s charges of adulteration in lard by Fowler Brothers continued Its work this afternoon, and the case for the prosecution was concluded. Nothing new was developed. The defense will begin tomorrow. Bursting of it Reservoir. Smartsvii,lb, Cal., June 18.—The Milton Hydraulic Mining Company’s reservoir, containing 650.000,000 cubic feet of water, burst this afternoon. The rush of water was irresistible, and swept everything in its path. It raised the Middle Yuba river a hundred feet. The roar of the rushing water was heard several miles, distant, and it carried away all the bridges. Several lives are reported lost, but Ibis is unconfirmed. The loss on the reservoir is estimated at $75,000. Heavy Loss in a Tennessee Town. Nashville, June 18.—Huntingdon, Tenn., was visited by the most disastrous fire to-day ever known in the town, ten business houses Mul three residences being destroyed. The lire was discovered at 3:30 this morning, and Is supposed to have been caused by an inpendiary. The total loss will he between 130,000 and $10,000; insurance light.

The Number, Capital aud Business of the Fiscal Institutions of the State. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. Washington, June 18.—Since the origination of the national banking system, there have been started in Indiana 134 national banks, of which number 41 have been retired. This leaves in operation 93 banks, and they represent a paid-in capital of $13.633,500. The outstanding circulation of these banks is $8,117,470. At various times, though, there has been issued to them banknote circulation amounting to $41,275,695, of which sum $29,843,988 has been redeemed. Os course the cause of the issue of such a volume of currency to the Indiana banks was the wear and tear to which paper money is subjected, necessitating its frequent replacement by new notes. The only national bank in the State having a million dollars on deposit is the First National of Indianapolis, the one having the next largest deposits being the National State Bank of Lafayette. The total liabilities of the Indiana national banks reaches the sum of $55,372,311.95. They hold, as individual deposits, $24,942,871.78. Their surplus fund amounts to $3,297,773.18, and the undivided profits to $1,500,913.61. The United States is a depositor with these banks in the sum of $438,105.63. If it is desired to know how the banks make money the principal item, of course, is “loans and discounts.” This amounts to $27,585,400.89, and they hold as an investment $834,100 of government bonds. Their real estate is valued at $1,316,533.85, and the current expenses are $241,805.57. To meet the requirements of every-day business they carry a cash supply, as follows: Specie, sl,640,602.64; legal-tender notes, $2,160,251, and bills of other banks, $1,070,234. The first bank in Indiana to retire from the national banking system was the Fourth National, of Indianapolis, which withdrew in 1865. There is still in circulation notes of this bank to the amount of $1,155; but, of course, this is fully protected by the Treasury. Since that time twenty-three national banks in different parts of the State have gone into voluntary liquidation under the banking laws. As in the case of the first named, all of them still have an outstanding circulation. Twelve banks have gone into voluntary liquidation for the purpose of organizing new associations with the same or different title. There have been five failures among the Indiana national banks. The first occurred in 1873, and was in the case of the First National, of Anderson, which held a capital of $50,000. The proved claims against this bank, after passing into the hands of a receiver, amounted to $143,534, and it has only paid 25 per cent, in dividends. The Gibson County National, of Gibson, had a capital of $50,000 and proved claims of $62,646. It had paid 49 per cent, in dividends. The First National Bank of Franklin represented a capital of $132,000, and the proved claims were $184,457. After paying 100 per cent, in dividends and interest in full it was finally closed. In the case of the First National Bank of Delphi, the capital was $50,000 and the proved claims $133,112. After paying 100 per cent, it has been finally closed. The First National of Monticello, with a capital of $50,000, has proved claims of $14,206, and but 30 per cent, as dividends have been paid. The Indiana banks do a good business, and as a consequence make money. During the last year they returned as net earnings $1,630,255.20. They declared average dividends on the capital of over per cent., and the earnings to both capital and surplus were over 9M per cent. The classifications of the loans and discounts shows that they have out on “single-name” paper $2,435,150; on United States bonds, $7,617; on other stocks, $1,443,581; and all other loans, $23,501,581. They are required to hold a lawful money reserve of $3,830,363, but in reality they hold as such reserve $8,265,287. Even banks, no matter how well conducted, have their losses. In the State, forty-eight banks report as losses during the year $214,752.16. This includes losses in their business on every account, including losses on technical bad debts under the law and premiums on United States bonds. A considerable portion of these technical losses, however, will undoubtedly be recovered. But the national banks do not comprise all such institutions doing business in Indiana. There are, besides them, 154 banks in the State, having a capital of $4,620,203, and deposits to the amount of $18,642,515. The banks have invested in government securities $980,879. There are twenty-two State banks, with a capital of $1,333,606, and holding as deposits $2,582,609. Their total liabilities are $3,375,732. They have loaned out $2,056,983, and have invested in real estate $144,365, The savings banks are fourteen in number, and they have on deposit $1,990,547. There are 118 private banking establishments, having a capital of $3,286,507, and the deposits amount to $14,069,359. These banks have invested in United States securities $706,965. From the Statement here presented it can

be seen that the financial condition of the Indiana banks is first-class, which must be satisfactory to both people and banks. Under the act of last July, there are many banks which will need to take out new articles of incorporation, owing to the expiration of the original charters, but under the system inaugurated by the Treasury Department this is done without inconvenience or loss. MORE STAR ROUTE; Rerilell Dismissed, and the Kellogg-Brady Cases Called Up. Washington, June 18. —In the Criminal Court, this morning, Rerdell appeared accompanied by Merrick and Ker. Judge Wylie asked Rerdell if he desired to withdraw the plea of guilty to conspiracy in the star-route case? Rerdell answered in the affirmative. “Under the circumstances,” said Judge Wylie, “the court has no hesitation in allowing that to be done. One man cannot be guilty of conspiracy; the jury has acquitted the others, and that is enough.” Merrick said: “The government enters a nolle prosequi for him.” The court directed the clerk to enter the nolle prosequi, and Rerdell left. After the organization of juries for the June term, Mr. Ker called the cases against William Pitt Kellogg, charged with receiving money in connection with a mail contract while in the United States Senate. Ker said he understood that Kellogg was under bail. A messenger was dispatched for Kellogg, and Ker then called up the two cases against Thomas J. Brady, charging him with receiving money while Second Assistant Postmaster-general in consideration of increasing certain mail service. Ker said bail had not been furnished in these cases, and asked for a process to bring Brady into court. Mr. Wilson then presented his pleas. One of them attacks the construction of the grand jury that framed the indictment. Another raises the point that the orders of court were disregarded by the failaj-e to return an indictment corresponding with the presentment. Others complain of Ker’s presence in the grand jury room and his participation in the deliberations of the grand jury. Judge Wylie fixed Saturday next for hearing the argument upon the pies. Mr. Williams, for General Brady, asked that the warrant ordered to issue in that case be withdrawn, stating that General Brady was already under $50,000 bail in the original star-rout indictment. The court said bail was necessary in this case, but consented to withhold the warrant upon Mr, Williams’s promise to cause General Brady’s attendance in court to-morrow. The Wealth of Brady and Dorsey. Washington Special. An intimate friend of both General Tom Brady and ex-Senator Dorsey is quoted as saying that the former is rich and the latter is comparatively poor. Dorsey, he said, has locked np half a million in that big ranch in the South. Outside of that, his friend says, he lias a very small fortune for a bon vivant. Brady, on the other hand, is said to have made $1,000,000 in oil stocks since last slimmer. Some of it lie is said to have made in a recent skillful operation in Rio Grande stock. George Bliss is said to have lost the major portion of his fees in the star-route trial on the other side of the same “deal.” Brady had this result in view when he went into the operation. GENERAL NEWS. Dangerous Illness of General Charles Ewing, Formerly of Sherman's Staff. Washington, June 18.— General Charles Ewing is lying dangerously ill with pneumonia at his home in this city, and his death is hourly expected. General Ewing is a brother of General Thomas Ewing, of Ohio, and a relative by marriage of General Sherman. He was born in Ohio and studied law, hut on the breaking out of the war entered the regular army as captain of the Thirteenth infantry, having previously received military instruction from General Sherman, with whom he lived in St. Louis. He served through the war on Sherman’s staff', was breveted major in 1863 for services at the siege of Vicksburg, breveted lieutenantcolonel in 1864 for services in the Atlanta campaign, and again in 1865 was breveted colonel for gallant and meritorious services during the war. lie resigned in 1867, and since then has practiced law in tiiis city. Simplifying the Examinations. Washington Special. The following advertisement has appeared in a local newspaper during the past week: “Civil-service examination robbed of its terror. Easy, plain and complete; every question met. I don’t care to say more here, but if you want it, address or call from 4 to 8 p, m. , Professor, 509 E street, Northwest.” Another enterprising person has opened a civil-service institute on Tenth street, in this city, and it is reported that he guarantees to successfully pilot applicants through the shoals of civil-service examinations. It is possible that some of the questions to be asked bv the examiners may be betrayed by members of the examining board, but this is not likely to happen. Notes and Personalities. Washington, June 18.—The value of exports of domestic breadstuff’s for eleven month ended May 31, 1883, was $191,414,043.J against $167,730,652 for the same period last year. It is believed at the War Department that the report that Major Nickerson was seen at St. Louis last week is true. The War Department officials think he is making his way to the Pacific coast. The President has appointed Frederick M. Cheney, of Massachusetts, United States consul at Zanzibar. The Umpire Called to Settle It. Pittsburg, June 18.—The trades tribunal appointed lo settle the rate of wages for the railroad coal-miners held another meeting to-day. After each side had presented its views 5 t was decided that time would be saved by referring the matter to Umpire John R. McCune at once, and the meeting adjourned. To-morrow the uinpi re will ho called in and the oustion left to his judgment. The miners also held a district convention to-day to arrange preliminaries for the State convention, which meets to-morrow. Resolutions were adopted sympathizing with the striking miners of Belleville, 111., and denouncing the calling out of the military. Fraudulent Texas Land Scrip. Austin, Tex,, June 18.—The State Land Office Commissioner says peddlers of Texas land scrip are stil selling large amounts to purchasers in Northern States at very good prices. This is simply swindling, as prices In Texas are down to nominal rates, and there is not public land on which to locate one in a thousand of tuese certificates.

He Offers to Apologize, on Certain Conditions, to the Irish Members. London, June 18.—Sir Stafford Northcote, the Conservative leader, this afternoon, in the Commons, called attention to John Bright’s speech at Birmingham, on last Thursday. lie declared that Mr. Bright’s statement that Conservatives were in alliance with the Irish rebels in thwarting the house from doing work w’as unfounded, and moved that the utterances of Mr. Bright be declared a breach of privilege. Mr. Bright, who was much cheered on rising to respond, said he had a right to speak with great freedom to his constituency. Tilt term “aliance,” lie said, was capable of a meaning he did not intend, bqt it was the one that first occurred to him. Perhaps he ought to have been more careful, but affirmed that there was combined action between the Conservative and Irish members, in both debate and division, to worry and destroy the ministry. He was pained to sea the manner in which some members of the House clamored at the Premier. Such conduct was a modern innovation. Mr. Brightcommented on the existence of societies in America which w’ere disloyal to the British crown, and which were sending fluids to similar disloyal societies in Great Britain. If, he said, the Irish members of Parliament were to disavow connection with the disloyal societies of America and declare their loyalty to the crown he would withdraw the word rebel and apologize for having used it. Thomas Power O’Connor, member for Galway, also addressed the House. In the course of his speech he alluded to Mr. Bright’s “vain old age,” which remark elicited loud protests from many members. Mr. Gladstone followed O’Connor. lie declared that the portion objected to of Mr. Bright’s speech at Birmingham was not a breach of privilege. He (Gladstone) was sorry for the remarks that had just been made by O’Connor concerning Mr. Br. declining years, and regretted the course taken by some members in regard tc the Birmingham affair. Asa matter of fact, he thought Mr. Bright’s explanation entirely satisfactory. Northcote’s motion that the utterances of Mr. Bright be declared a breach of privilege was rejected—lsl nays to 117 yeas. The division was ahnost entirely a party one in character. The Parneilites voted with the Conservatives in favor of the motion. THE CRUSHED CHILDREN. Most of the Dead To 110 Buried in a Long; “Trench—The Queen's Sympathy. Sunderland, Juno 18.—The excitement over the catastrophe in Victoria Hall, on Saturday night, by which nearly 200 children lost their lives, continues intense. Some of the children who escaped say a report spread through the gallery, at the close of the performance, that the child first out of the hall would get a prize, and consequently there eager rush for the doors. Most of the bodies of the victims will be buried together in a long trench. Sir Henry Frederick Ponsonby. private secretary of the Queen, telegraphed to the Mayor of Sunderland that her Majesty directs him to state that she is terribly shocked at the awful calamity in Victoria Hall on Saturday, and her heart bleeds for the sufferings of the many bereaved parents. She prays God to support them in their terrible distress. Sir Henry also says her Majesty is most anxious to hear how the injured children are. Several children who left the exhibition before the accident occurred state that they saw a man just before the rush partially close the door on the landing where the disaster took place. It will he proved at the inquest on the bodies of the unfortunate little ones that a man bolted the door ajar in order to facilitate the distribution of toys to the children as they were leaving the premises. A box containing toys which had been placed in position, in readiness for the distribution of prizes, is still standing near the door. One Hundred anti Ninety-Seven. London, June 18.—The number of deaths by the Sunderland calamity has reached 197. THE CZAR'S CORONATION. A Story Which CoutraMts Violently with Previous Reports. Vienna Taper. When the Czar entered Moscow in solemn state it was noticed that on the long street not a bouquet of flowers was to be seen. Why not? Because among the flowers a little ball filled with dynamite might have been concealed. The police, therefore, forbade bouquets of flowers. House owners desired to ornament their houses, and especially the balconies with boughs. But behind the green boughs some infernal machine might have been hidden. The police, therefore, prohibited decorations with green boughs. Ladies’ parasols had become especially suspicious objects, because some murderous instruments might be hidden in them. The police prohibited, therefore, the carrying of parasols. Walking-sticks might have contained gun-barrels loaded with powder and ball. The police, therefore, would not let any man appear with a walking stick. Explosive material has often been carried in llasks and bottles. The police would, therefore, permit nobody to have a bottle or flask about him. The houses lining the street over which the Czar was lo pass were virtually in the possession of tle police for several days before the great event. All cellars and sewers were carefully watched to prevent the construc-

tion of mines. Every chamber and every : piece of furniture was carefully examined to ascertain whether there was not something I dangerous hidden in them. Especial atten- ! tion was given to the roofs and chimneytlues, so that no murderous projectile he dropped on the Czar from above. Nobody wafr to be admitted to the windows while the procession was passing except persons known to the police as absolutely faithful and obedient subjects, and for whose conduct the houseowner was willing to make himself personally responsible. In addition to which all these persons had to submit, when entering the house, to a close examination of their bodies by police agents, so us to make perfectly sure that they did not carry anything dangerous about them. All the bells of the capital were gayly ringing and the cannon booming when the Czar, in the marshal’s uniform of his army, at the head of perhaps the most brilliant cortege ever seen, rode from the Petrowski Palace to the Kremlin. A gleaming line of polished steel lined botli sides of the way, and behind it another, and a third and a fourth one—four rows of bayonets formed by 20.000 men, standing shoulder to shoulder, as solid as a wall. Enthusiasm to Order. St. Petersburg Letter in Now York Times. The fact is that very few of the good people of Moscow have been allowed to see the Czar, much less to welcome him with devoted blessings and enthusiastic acclamation. The whole thing was prepared beforehand. All marshals of nobility from the neighboring governments of Moscow brought along 200 picked peasants to the capital from each of their districts; thus a guard of 80,000 peasants w’as collected on the spot, every one of whom was supplied with a brown ticket of admission and given special orders, which he had to obey. Such outside persons who came to Moscow a week or so before the coronation had plenty of time to observe how large detachments of idle peasants were lead here and there by the police officers, who instructed them as to their duty. When the Emperor entered Moscow and occupied his apartments in the palace behind the inclosure of the Kremlin w’alls, this picked guard of peasants lined all the streets and gathered in large crowds at the gates of the Kremlin; as one of the generals, passing by, told the crowd outside that they might pass into the inclosure, none of them moved, but as soon as M. Kozlof, the chief of the police, arrived and cried to them, “Come along, boys,” they rushed forward as one man, filled the Kremlin in no time, and cheered the Czar for hours together. Each one of such hired peasants received three rubles per day, which is quite a large sum in a country where a peasant, working hard, cannot earn more than half a ruble per day. My informants assure me, however, that all this comedy of the getting up of a guard of peasants was arranged by the Czar’s ministers, at the instigation of the all-powerful Katkof, editor of tiie Moscow Gazette, who w’as rewarded, on his side, by a star and the tebin of Privy Councilor. The Emperor himself was quite ignorant of the whole procedure, ami, though looking firm and resolved, he was unusually pale most of the time, and the Empress could seldom conceal her nervousness, notwithstanding the precaution she had been prevailed on to take for the occasion, in the guise of a deep cotiche of rouge—a tiling she had never attempted to do before. LUNCHING WITH PRINCES. Three Representatives of tiie United States Entertained by the Sultau. Eastern Express, May 29. General Taft and Mr. Schuyler, the United States ministers at the courts of Vienna and Athens, respectiuelv, arrived in Constantinople on Friday last, on a visit to General Wallace, the United States minister here. On learning of the presence of General Taft and Mr. Schuyler in the capital, 11. I. M., the Sultan was graciously pleased to express a desire to have these two gentlemen presented to him, and invited General Wallace and it is two colleagues to lunch yesterdey afternoon at the palace of Yildiz. Shortly after 3 o’clock, the three ministers proceeded to the palace, accompanied by M. Gargiulo, first dragoman of the United States legation, and were received by the Imperial princes, who had been charged by the Sultan to entertain them, his Imperial Majesty being unable to do so in consequence of a slight indisposition. During lunch, which was served in the park, a message was received from the Sultan, expressing his Imperial Majesty’s regret at not being able to personally entertain his guests. After lunch the visitors were shown over the park and through the palace by the Imperial princes, who discharged the duties of hosts with that hospitable urbanity which distinguishes their imperial father, the Sultan. GENERAL FOREIGN NEWS. The Petition of tiie New York Jew, Rosenberg, for His Daughter Dismissed. London, June 18. —In the Chancery division of the Court of Appeal, Judge Chittv dismissed the petition of Rosenberg for custody of his daughter, a Jewess who left her home in New York to reside in Leeds, and afterwards entered a convent in Middleborough.

TANARUS., July 18.—It is understood | that the Indian agent at San Carlos will not receive the captured hostiles, and serious results may be anticipated. The hostiles now awaiting surrender near the Mexican line will not do so unless first assurred of good treatment at the reservation. Runners have already deserted, to return to the line with this intelligence. There are from 150 to 175 able-bodied warriors yet to surrender. It is feared there will be a repetition of the 19th of April, 1882, when the hostile Apaches came j into the reservationland took forcibly out Loco ! and his followers. The reservation Indians | fear the Chiricahuas, and would make a very weak resistance. The Indians fear Crook. If | his judgment prevails all will be well; otherwise trouble is still ahead.

A High Churchman Resigns His Pastorate. Chicago, June 18.—Rev. Arthur Ritchie, rector of the Episcopal Church of the Ascension of this city, announced to his congregation yesterday that he would tender his resignation next Wednesday. Mr. Ritchie has been recognized as an extreme ritualist, and his church services liave been marked by extreme high church ceremonies, which have, apparently, occasioned differences between him and Bishop McLaren, of this diocese.
