GENERAL TERRELL DYING. His Physicians Agree that He Cannot Survive for Many Honrs. General W. H. H. Terrell, for many years a man of prominence in the public affairs of Indiana, is dying. He has been in bad health for the last several years, and during a part of the time he has been wholly un able to endure any laborious exertion. He became broken in constitution from the effects of a severe cold, caused by being caught in a rain shower, resulting in the development of consumption, which grew upon him until the emaciation reduced him to a ghost of the vigorous physique which he once possessed. He has been secretary of the Republican State central committee since 1882, and the duties of that position have been rather a severe tax upon his energies. He was at the committee rooms last Monday, attending to his correspondence, but complained of feeling worse than usual, and the next morning he was unable to rise from bed. His condition has rapidly grown worse since, and yesterday he was unable to speak, his tongue having become paralyzed. His physicians think that he will not live many hours longer. General Terrell has lived in Indiana since 1828. and has been one of the most prominent public men in the State. He was Adjutant general for several years, and the official reports which he published during the time that he held the office are among the most reliable documents that belong to the State archives, while the volume on “Indiana in the War” is the only complete and reliable history of the part taken by the soldiers of Indiana in suppressing the rebellion. During the administration of General Grant he has Third Assistant Postmastergeneral, and later he was the United States pension agent in this district, in addition to which he was held a member of other prominent public positions. It was his intention to have written a history of Indiana, but his feeble health prevented him from applying himself to the work. There is no man better prepared or qual ified for such an undertaking, as he has given much time to research into the early history of the State.

At the close of the prayer meeting services at the First Baptist Church, last night, the pas tor. Rev. H. C. Mabie, addressed a few words to the congregation regarding his resignation ot this charge and the acceptance of a pastorate at his former home, Belvidere, 111. He again explained that the change was made on account of his failing health and a knowledge that he could not longer do the work of this large congregation. At Belvidere. which ia the home of his father, the pastoral duties will be light and he trusts that he will be able to regain his health and be given strength for greater usefulness. Bidding the congregation good night in order that the report of the committee appointed on the Bth inst. to confer with the pastor regarding his resignation might be read and acted upon he retired and the Rev. Henry Day was called to the chair. The committee reported that they had conferred with the pastor, and there had been an interchange of views, resulting in the convincing of the committee that it would be right to accept the pastor's resignation, and they recommended to the church the adoption of the following resolution: “That while we greatly deplore the apparent necessity, on account of his impaired health. w accept the Rev. H. O. M a tie's resignation of the pastorate of this church, tlie time of service to expire with the present month. J. M. Sutton, “H. A. Hanna, •‘B. F. Atkins, “J. F. Pratt, “A. S. Ames. “Committee.” The report of the committee was adopted. The apiiointment of a committee of five to look after a pastor to succeed to the vacated pulpit was referred to the official boards of the church. Concerning the Evansville Asylum.

Dr. Curryer and Dr. Duncan discussed the subject of cholera infantum. Dr. Piekerill,Jeditor Indiana Eclectic Medical Journal, called attention to the importance of eclectics supporting their own medical journals published in this state —the Indiana Eclectic Medical Journal and the Independent Medical Investigator. Dr. Curryer presented an interesting specimen of malformation of the heart. The committee of arbitration, appointed at the last meeting of the association on the charges preferred against Dr. A. J. Smith and Dr. D. Lesh, reported that the evidence sustained the charges, and that Dr. Smith be expelled, and that Dr. Lesh be sus-" sended for one year. The action of the association was in harmony with the recommendations of the committee. Dr. J. K. Duncan read a paper on gynecology. The board reported favorably the names of F. H. Austin, T. M.

County Commissioners* Court. Tho county commissioners yesterday heard the complaint of David Kessler, who claims to have received injuries by being ditched at the West side of the approach to tho Crawfordsville road bridge over White river, an accident occasioned by the narrowness of the roadway, and for which lie asked SSOO. His claim was not allowed. The commissioners granted constabulary powers to the members of the Pleasant Grove Horsethief Detective Association, of Wayne township. Wm. A. Pfaff. ex-county auditor, was allowed $1,415 for making a series of indexes for which amount he gave up his claim of $2,000 and withdrew his suit against the county, paying his own costs. A similar settlement was made with Jacob L. Bieler, recorder, his claim of SI,BOO for making a vowel index of town lots, being settled by the payment of $l,lOO. What the Trades* Assembly Asks, A committee of the Trades’ Assembly has urged the police commissioners to issue an order requiring the closing of barber shops on Sunday, and it is said that they further expressed the opinion that the laboring classes desired the enforcement of the liquor laws, the same as in all other cases of violation of law on Sunday. The Overland Telephone Company. The Overland Telephone Company is organizing a stock company to open and operate an exchange in this city, and for the counties of Marion, Morgan. Hendricks, Boone. Hamilton, Hancock, Shelby, and Johnson. The company is now organized in every State in the Union, and represents a capital of over $12,000,000 General Harrison’s Strength. Lafayette Journal. General Harrison has many elements of strength, not only in Indiana and New York, but throughout the country. His splendid military record; his integrity and honesty; his services to the country and the Republican partv; his distinguished and patriotic ancestry, combine to make him one of the most available candidates that could be presented. General Harrison i6 pre-eminently a man of the people —self made, having, by severe self-denial educated himself, and acquired his profession, in which he has reached a foremost rank No favorable circumstances have lifted him into the high position he occupies. He rose to the eminent night he has reached on his own merits solely. The Overland Tolephone Company. The suit brought by the Bell Telephone Com pany against the “Overland,” noted in our columns last week, docs not seem to have had any material effect on the latter's organization. The parent company in New York have retained Harrison, Hines & Miller to defend the Indiana company, and. inasmuch as the courts of Pennsylvania and New Jersey have refused to inter sere in any manner with the business of the Overland in Philadelphia and Newark, it is fair to assume that the Indiana Overland Telephone Company has come to stay. We are reliably advised that a company is now being formed—or the preliminary arrangements are being made—to operate an exchange in Indianapolis and unite with it the eight counties surrounding Marion. From the character of tho men engaged in the enterprise we navn* imaixubt of its success, and will hone soon to congratulate the public upon their mease from the monopoly.

THE SPECULATIVE PANIC. Views of Some of the Principal Newspapers as to Its Cause and Effect. Philadelphia Press: The country and sound commerce are untouched. Cincinnati Commercial Gazette: It amounts to a brokers' panic—no more. Legitimate business stands solid. Philadelphia Times: The recent bank failures, with the associated failures among New York brokers, do not, in any proper sense, reflect upon the integrity of the banks generally or the banking system. Louisville Commercial: The great safety for the country now lies iu the fact that our business is done on a specie basis, and there are neither inflated values nor inflated credits outside of the purely speculative arena to furnish the material for a genuine panic. Cleveland Leader: The panic will be confined to Wall street among its gamblers, with the exception of some few innocent parties who may be depositors or shareholders. The result will be wounded ducks, depreciation for a time of stocks, and temporary tightness in the money market. New York World: The great bulk of our financial institutions are sound and solvent, and no harm can come to such. It is only the gam biers and speculators of the financial world who are being forced into liquidation, and the clearing away of this diseased fungus will leave the general body in a most healthful condition. New York Tribune: As in all such cases, the pendulum which had swung too far in one direction how goes too far in the other, and many securities which have been too high are too low. An amount of unemployed capital never before seen in the history of the country has been lying idle here for months or years, waiting for just what has happened. It is not likely to wait much longer. New York Jounal of Commerce: A few speculators have come to grief, their dupes are entangled with them, and not a few innocent persons have been called to suffer. This is the common lot. When a tree rotten to the core falls with a crash to the earth it is not likely to injure nuiny within its spreading limbs who have contributed nothing to its fate. But there is no occasion for a widespread panic. St. Louis Republican: The capital of the country, which should be at the command ol meritorious enterprises, is largely absorbed by adventurers and gamblers, and legitimate business is thus endangered and often paralyzed. The enormous clearinghouse transactions of New York and other cities, especially of the East, afford some idea of the extent of this sort of transactions which take the name of business. Chicago Times: The failure of a dozen of more or less disguised gambling shops and their backers in New York is not itself a circumstance that would or can materially affect any legiti mate interest. The country possesses to-day all the elements of wealth and prosperity it hacf a month or year ago. Farms ana factories, their products, and strong and cunning hands that produce them, cannot be destroyed by any perturbation in New York. Louisville Courier-Journal: The financial ruin of some half dozen of the leading spirits of the Exchange would be to the people at large a ben efit of inestimable value. It will be certainly unfortunate if some good people suffer with them, but a catastrophe to the genius of corrupt stock speculation and corporate mismanage ment as represented in the New York Stock Exchange would be a permanent advantage to all the business interests of the country. Chicago Inter Ocean: The great grain producing and cattle-growing West is prosperous, the farmers are having a good seeding-time. and everything in the agricultural line looks better now than it did twelve months ago. The East must get down out of the clouds and be content to tread solid ground. Kite-flying is a dangerous business, and. above all, bankers, whether it be Ward, Fish, Eno, Seney, or any other man, should steer clear of speculations, all of which are outside of legitimate banking operations. New York Sun: Yesterday’s panic in Wall street was emphatically a panic among stock gamblers and nothing else. It did not proceed from failures among merchants nor from withdrawal of credits in mercantile circles. It began, culminated and ended iu stock speculations and went no further. To be sure, merchants will be inconvenienced by its results, but not for long, and as soon as the wreck is cleared away business will resume its regular course. The only serious mischief which is likely to follow this brief panic is the distrust for all banks arising from the failure of a few among them which are plainly traceable to dishonesty, or, to use the mildest language, gross imprudence on the part of their officers. New York Herald: While advising the public to keep out of Wall street, we would also advise it to look upon the situation calmly, and see if it is not for its interest to utterly discourage whatever of distrust that now prevails. The city banks are proverbial for their strength and safety, and the few exceptions that have come to light ought not to throw discredit upon all. The trouble lies now in the losing speculations of brokers and others than in the banks, and after the street has been cleared of the wreckage caused by the recent failures, there might be an opportunity for a clearer financial atmosphere. As it is,its efforts will be confined to Wall street, and the general trade and industry will not be affected to any great extent New York Times: There has been remoter and more general cause in the practical inflation, caused by a mistaken policy with reference to the payment of demand notes of the government and the coinage of silver. Had the legal-tender notes been either called in and paid, or funded in United States bonds, instead of being left outstanding and undiminislied, there would have been no such mania for railway and other speculation a.s has taken place. In addition to this we have had the currency inflated by the coinage of silver.forced by law, without reference to demand or value. The two forces together were enough to unsettle cooler and more act ive minds than those of tho average Americans. We are paying the penalty of these radical errors, and unless they are relieved we shall have to pay it over and over again. Meantime, it is obvious that vhose business men only are safe who observe in their private affairs the principles of sound management and firm integrity which the government lias grossly violated.
