Some of the schedules of Commodore Gavri son's indebtedness have two notes of Pearsall k Cos. among the preferred creditors for $500,000. The firm states that Garrison does not owe them anything; they loaned him $50,000 for other parties, who have ample collateral up to secure the loan. CAUSES OF THE FAILURE. Melville C. Day, counsel for Garrison, says the assignment is made because of financial embarrassment. It was forced upon Garrison by the protest of notes under his indorsement yesterday. He is a heavy holder of securities, and 80 much of his wealth is tied up in these, which are almost unmarketable at present, that he could not meet his liabilities. He has a large number of Ohio railway securities, which havo shrunk, but which are not now on the market, and the value of which cannot be estimated. The assignment is simply for the benefit of creditors. The amount involved by the failure is supposed to be probably $5,000,000. Assignee Terry said it was impossible yet to state the figures. The effect on Wall street was to still more unsettle things, though not to so great an extent as was feared. It is said Garrison is not Very largely interested in speculative stocks, his fancy being for gas stocks and outside specialties. Stocks fell off Ito 3 points, but no failures were reported. A prominent banker said: “The effect of the failure, coming as it does now, will naturally unBettle things, and, in fact, stocks cannot go any lower without hitting and hurting someone. I think the failure rather a good thing than otherwise, for it will distribute a large amount of money among many different people. Men like Vanderbilt and Garrison do not stop at an accumulation of $2,000,000, $3,000,000 or $5,000,000, but they run it up to $10,000,000 and $20,000,000. This is "wrong, and the distribution of such large amounts will benefit the people.” It is hinted in Wall street that should the derision in the Marie Garrison ease be adverse to Mr. Garrison, tho assignment made just at this time might save him considerable future loss. OTHER FAILURES. 9. L. Wing & Cos., of Litchfield, 111., in Serious Financial Trouble. St. Louis, June 20.—A report was circulated to-day that D. L. Wing & Cos., owners of the Planet flouring-mill, at Litchfield, 111., were embarrassed, and would probably be obliged to suspend. Full particulars are not obtainable, but it is known that a considerable amount of Wing & Co.’s paper, drawn on Mr. Downing, of the firm of Downing, Sliirtwood & Cos., of Springfield. Mass., who was formerly a partner of Wing, has been protested, and that Wing left for New York, last night, to meet Downing, and, if possible, arrange for payment of the drafts. The indebtedness of" the firm is thought to be about $159,000. The mill property at Litchfield cost $400,000, and has a bonded debt of $225,000. Wing's troubles are said to 'nave grown out of an attempt to do a very large business on inadequate capital. He has also been engaged in the construction of a railroad between Litchfield and East .St. Louis, Which is said to have crippled him greatly. Failure of a Cotton Firm. Mobile. June 20.—Gardner & Gates, cotton merchants, of old standing, have assigned. Liabilities $165,000; assets $230,000. Capt. W. H. Gardner who is president of the National CotV>n Exchange of America, says the complica-

tions of his New Orleans house of Gardner & Copp, coupled with Gardner & Gates’ own losses have forced the assignment. Failures for the Week, New York, June 20.—The failures for seven days, reported to R. G. Dun & Cos., in the United States, number 182; in Canada, 23. Casualties continue numerous on the Pacific coast and in the South. This is a decrease of 23 failures compared with last week, which is due to a falling off in other sections. DAILY WEATHER BULLETIN.

New York, June 20.—John Drake, the lawyer who was shot in his office yesterday and his right shoulder splintered, will probably have the arm amputated. The man who shot him is William C. Rhinelander, who is considered a crank, and is related to Drake’s family. He is still at large. Drake will not make a charge against him. He was a frequent visitor at Drake's office, and yesterday afternoon he called and remained some time closeted with the lawyer. Tho office-boy insists that he heard no noise or loud conversation until the pistol-shot rang out. Mr. Douglas, who occupied the adjoining office, rushed in and saw Drake forcing young Rhinelander against the wall with the strength of desperation, and though badly wounded his strength held out to save him from further harm. In one of Rhinelander’s hands was a revolver; this Douglas seized and helped Drake to overpower Rhine lander. Rhinelander was allowed to depart with a relative, who will be responsible for his appearance if wanted. Rhinelander was arrested to-night and locked up at police headquarters. He told Inspector Byrnes that he shot Drake because he had alienated his wife’s affections and intended to kill him. Killing a Desperado. Flint, Mich., June 20.—Officer E. M. Parsall, of this city, shot and killed Lorenzo D. Pickle, a desperado, who resisted arrest, at Richfield Center, yesterday. Pickle, who was wanted at Flushing for disorderly conduct, fired several shots at Deputy Sheriff Carton, of that place, who attempted to arrest him last week. Since that time Pickle has been armed with two revolvers, making threats against any officer who would dare attempt his arrest. Yesterday Parsall received a warrant, with orders to arrest Pickle, and started in search of the man, whom he found in front of the store at Richfield Center. Pickle attempted to shoot the officer on sight, but his revolver caught in the lining of his coat, and the officer, who had vainly requested him to submit to arrest, fired at him three times while he was attempting to extricate his revolver. One of the shots struck Pickle in the breast. Ho then said: “I have enough,” and fell into the officers arms and expired. Pickle was about sixty years old. The Penn Hank Cases. Pittsburg, Pa., June 20.—The hearing of the conspiracy case of Cashier Riddle, of the Penn Bank, and T. J. Watson, oil broker, was concluded before Alderman Burke this morning. The testimony adduced showed that two notes of Watson Sc Riddle, for SIOO,OOO each, had never been discounted by the bank, but were taken out of President Riddle’s private box by the attorney for the bank after the second susSension. 'fhe prosecution put the notes in evience to show conspiracy, but the defense contended they were never negotiated and were not assets of the bank. The alderman held defendants Watson and Riddle to court, demanding $30,000 bail each. Riddle had previously waived hearing and given bail. Passenger Pool Contract Kxtended. New York, June 20.—At the close of the session, to-day, the joint executive committee of the railroad managers adjourned until the 15th of July, after again extending the old passenger bool contract until August 1. This additional extension is said to have been rendered neces sary because outside roads, including the Chicago & Grand Trunk, tho Delaware, Lackawana & Western, the Indiana, Bloomington & Western, the West Shore, the Chicago & Atlantic, and the Nickel-plate, have not yet agreed to enter the pool, not being satisfied with the terms of the contract. No changes have been made in percentages so far, and discussion of the read justment under the new contract was postponed till tho July meeting. Restricting Coke Production. Pittsburg, June 20. —The Connellsville Coke. Producers’ Association to-day decided, in view of tho unsatisfactory condition ot trade, to further restrict production by closing down 10 per cent, of the ovens. This will reduce the production 25 per cent., as 15 per cent, of the ovens have been idle since tho formation of the pool. It was decided to make no change in tho selling price. Threatened Strike of Coal Miners. Columbus, 0., June 20. —Tho State miners’ convention, in session hero, has received information from Buchtcl, in the Hocking Valley, today. that the operators have posted notice of a reduction to sixty cents for mining, to take effect June 23. President Mcßride states that the minors will all go out on that date.]

TIIE STATE TICKET. Enthusiastic Indorsements of the Work of the Republican Convention. IT WILL WIN. Evansville Journal. The ticket is a strong one, and, on the admirable platform adopted, will win. BIG TIMBER. Evansville Courier (Dein.) Major Calkins is an able and popular man, and the Democrats will have to choose their biggest timber to beat him. AN INDICATION. Anderson Herald. If harmonious conventions indicate anything, the Republican party never was in better fighting trim than at present. IT WENT OVER THE FENCE. Terre Haute Courier. In his first time at bat, to-day, the Republican candidate for Governor made a Calkin(s) hit that is good for a home run. AN EXCEPTIONALLY STRONG TICKET. New Castle Courier. Calkins for governor and Bundy for Lieuten-ant-governor make an exceptionally strong tickot, and will be elected by a handsome majority in November. MEANING OP CALKINS’S NOMINATION. Louisville Commercial. The nomination of Calkins, for Governor of Indiana, means an active and aggressive campaign. Col. Dudley was the competing candidate, and received a vote at which ho has every reason to be gratified. A MAMMOTH TICKET. Vincennes Commercial. It is a mammoth ticket, and suits tho Republicans of southern Indiana completely. Now for hard work. Let us go into this campaign with our sleeves rolled up. with our eyes wide open, and with a heartiness and good-will that cannot be mistaken. AN ELOQUENT STUMPER. , Union City Eagle. Mr. Calkins is a man of fine address, and engaging manners. He is a capable, vigorous, and eloquent stumper, and, if nominated, would make a rattling campaign. He has won for himself distinction in the halls of Congress, aud is well informed on all the prominent political questions. A GOOD RECORD FOR THE RACE. New Castle Mercury. W. H. Calkins. Republican nominee for Governor, is forty-two years of age, is a forcible and pleasant speaker. He served throughout the war in various capacities, spending no small part of his time in rebel prison-pens, and was promoted to the rank of major. He is now serving his third term in Congress. CANNOT BE OVERCOME. Terre Haute Courier. The nomination of Major W. H. Calkins for Governor will give the Republican State ticket a boom equal to that of the national ticket. His magnetic, winning presence, his clean record in Congress, and his ability as an orator will give him a strength that the Democratic nominee, no matter who he may be, cannot overcome. BETTER THAN A MAJOR GENERAL. Cincinnati Commercial Gazette. Mr. Calkins, nominated by the Republicans for Governor of Indiana, is the largest of her latest lot of congressmen, and was a good soldier, who rose through hard fighting to the rank of major, which is rather better, all things considered, than if lie had risen to the rank of major-general—there are so many major-gen-erals. HIS ELECTION A FOREGONE CONCLUSION. Chicago Tribune. Congressman W. H. Calkins was nominated for Governor of Indiana by the Republican State convention at Indianapolis which met yesterday. His principal competitor was Colonel Dudley, Commissioner of Pensions. Mr. Calkins has been the leader of the Indiana Republican delegation in Congress. He is specially popular witli the Irish-American citizens of the State, and his election as Governor is almost a foregone conclusion, no matter who is nominated on the Democratic side. Northern Indiana is practically a unit for him. A STATE IN GOOD SHAPE. Cincinnati Commercial Gazette. There is no doubt about it that tho work of yesterday, at Indianapolis, puts Indiana in good shape for the campaign. Major Calkins is a man of such decided personality, and so popular and “magnetic,” that he is, as a rule, stronger than his party. Tho Republicans of Indiana wisely decided that they had no duty to perform with respect to the Prohibitionists, other than to pursue the even tenor of tlieir way; and we may trust the Prohibitionists will be equally clear in realizing that they cannot expect anything serviceable to their special purposes from this campaign. It is presidential year, and side issues must stand asido. MR. CALKINS’S NOMINATION. Lafayette Courier. This nomination had been anticipated, and meets the wishes of the majority of the party in the State, and will be acceptable to good Republicans every where throughout the groat Commonwealth of Indiana. As soldier and statesman, tne gentleman honored by the choice of the convention lias a clean and honorable record. The peer of any man—his superior, in all that goes to make a noble and dignified manhood, he has none. One of the best of the very many good things we know of him is that ho com menced his career in the Courier sanctum. A genial, whole souled, hail-fellow-well-met, his nomination is but the sure precursor of his election by an overwhelming majority next November. THE BEST TYPE OF MANHOOD. Chicago News. William 11. Calkins, who was nominated, yesterday, for Governor by the Indiana Republicans, is in the truest sense a man of tho people. His career is one which lie has carved out and hewn out through, every variety of opposition and every kind of obstacle. From a humble beginning. and with no extraneous advantages at his disposal, he has bravely, honestly, manfully worked his way along until lie is now unquestionably the leader of the Republican party in Indiana. He makes no pretense to brilliancy, and he lays no claims to greatness: he is, rather than great or brilliant, a fair specimen of that element in our American civilization which, by industry, perseverance and honesty, is coming to be recognized as the surest safeguard of our institutions. We regard Mr. Calkins as a man for whose elevation into honors of office every sincere admirer of the stanchest type of American manhood should be proud to vote. A STRONG TICKET AND PLATFORM. Indianapolis Nows ’ Ind.) In numbers and enthusiasm the Republican State convention yesterday promised much. It had been noted as a gathering that brought party reprepresentatives in great force, and tlieir demonstration was that which appeared to spring not only from zeal in their cause, but belief in its success. The result worked out on this line. The evident, choice of the majority was voiced by the convention. It madu a strong ticket, the very strongest, perhaps, that it could have made. If there is anything in geography the ticket can be pronounced perfectly symmetrical It is portioned out among tne various quarters of tho State as exactly as possible. While this is supposed to, and possibly does, add strongth to the ticket, its chief strength lies at the head and in the choice of Major Calkins, the very strongest candidate was named. And in this there is no reflection east upon his competitors for the place, and particularly Col. Dudley, who had such a magnificent support. But for many reasons we think Major Culkins the strongest man that could have been nominated, and it is to be noted that this convention, like the national Republican convention. expressed the wish of its party. Major Calkins, as a candidate, is such a one as to easily arouse the enthusiasm of a campaign and attract votes from outside his party, especially from among the young men. lie is himself a young man, not yet in the plenitude of his powers. He is but little over forty years old. and yet back of him lies a long life of arduous labor and honorable attainment. Asa soldier, his record is such as to win a tribute of admiration from any man who has warm blood in his veins. His civic career has been no less full of success. His most vehement political opponent cannot deny to him evidences of ability of the first class. He has been conspicuous in many sessions of Congress as one of the leading men of that body. He is a strong debater, a ready speaker, a forcible canvasser for anything lie undertakes. He is happy as a

stump orator, one of the best of “mixers.” and is gifted with what is called “magnetism.” Ho is able to make friends, to inspire enthusiasm. and the youthful exuberance and manly vigor of his manner is calculated to win strongly upon all classes. He is the sort of candidate who can be supported’ with a “hurra,” that is not a mere empty sound. It is our opinion that he will make the very best campaign possible for the Republicans. * and poll a larger vote than any other man could. If they cannot elect him they cannot elect anybody. The remainder of the ticket is, to our notion, as we have already expressed it, strong. As much as possible was done in its selection to placate the temperance element, in which direction also the platform tends. The plank favoring a constitutional convention means this and nothing else. It says, virtually, to everybody, lijit particularly to the temperance folks: “Come now and help us to call the people together and let their will be expressed in anew Constitution. If they want a ‘prohibition’ Constitution, lot them sayjso; if they do not, let them likewise declare it." This certainly can be argued as a fair attitude in a party sense, and in that sense one that the temperance folks will find difficulty in assailing. For ourselves, we do not believe in anew Constitution. We do believe in the plank in favor of the taking out of politics the prisons and benevolent institutions. The shameless disregard for law and decency which the Democrats have manifested in regard to the latter, ought to create a sentiment strong enough to do away with the barbarity of making the State charities the spoils of narty. Altogether, the platform does woll, and with the candidates that havo been placed upon it we repeat our belief that if the Republicans cannot win, it will be because success does not lie with them this year under any circumstances. Without Honor in His Own State. Wilmington News. With the smallest possible modicum of original ability, Mr. Bayard has secured a national reputation. Without having ever made a great speech in his life, ho yet poses as a statesman. The fact that he has still to originate the first practical idea or policy appears to constitute a perfectly stable foundation for tho generallyaccepted notion that he is a wise and capable legislator; and there are even those who, in the face of his unquestioned secession sentiments of twenty years ago, believe him to be a patriot, a lofty, unselfish and devoted friend of the best interests of our national life. When Mr. Bayard’s true history is written he will be put down as the most colossal political sham of this age, if not the most successful. By sounding his own praises and making virtuous speeches from the housetop ho has succeeded in gulling the entire continent, except Delaware. He has doled out the meaningless commonplaces of Jefferson, and Madison, and Monroe until many regard him as a sago and a patriot. But should he be nominated at Chicago, of which there is too little probability, this cloud of delusive pretense will be swept aside, and the whole country will see him as Delaware sees him, a small, selfish, and underhanded political trickster, who has debauched the law itself for partisan purposes. Mr. John Kelly’s candidate, we predict, will be found, should occasion offer, quite worthy to march under the banner of Tammany Hall. Gen. Sherman in a Kage. St. Louis Special. General Sherman has been pestered a good deal recently by the inspectors of the water department. A couple of weeks ago the department threatened to shut off his water for sprinkling the sidewalk"without a license, and yesterday he was reported for using a lawn-hose with out a special garden license, the supposition being that lie was using hydrant water. The General is very indignant at the way he lias been treated, and to-day expressed himself to a reporter as follows: “My lawn is sprinkled with water from my cistern. I do not use city water, but if Inspector Mott would have me pay for this, let him inform me how much lie wants and I will pay it. I have been treated to a series of abuses from the water department which is insulting, and may cause me to remove from St. Louis. I never knew of such petty persecutions in any city as gentlemen here must undergo. It will end in driving many good men away. I am willing to pay anything, if tho bill is presented to me, but I cannot submit to persecutions. What can be more unpleasant than newspaper notoriety, such as the water department has lavished on me? Toll them to come to my house and inspect it, rate everything double, and I am willing to abide their decision. ” How French’s “Strikers” Are Rewarded. Indianapolis Nows. The French campaign managers are already in clover, L. E. l’nlmor taking a $1,400 position at St. Louis, although the S9OO man formerly doing the work was let go for want of an appropriation. George Mann dropped into a soft berth at Chicago at a similar salary ($1,400), and 1). P. Davis is being equally as comfortably fixed at Cincinnati. Reinforcement* for Indiana. Louisville Courier-Journal (Pein.) We must have Indiana; in our growing confidence let us not lose sight of this fact. There the contest will be hotter, more bitter, more uncertain than in New York, and we must strengthen our lines there and throw into the State all the reinforcements it is possible for us to command. A Mean Business. Vincennes Sun. “Boycotting” is a mean business —a two edged sword, in fact, and no thoughtful man ought to be guilty of it. We say this for the benefit of Democrats as well as Republicans. A Saint in Heaven. Philadelphia Record. Assuredly there was anew saint in lioaven yesterday after the soul quitted the body of Bishop Matthew Simpson. Doesn’t He, Though! Chicago Times. Does Ben Butler accept the Greenback nomi nation for the presidency with the hope that the Deocrats will indorse it? To Be Sure. Houston Post. Ben Butler has plenty of cheek, but is it tough enough to enter tho national Democratic convention as a delegate? Mr. Blaine's Great Loss. Cincinnati Enquirer It is feared that the revolt from Mr. Blaine will cost him seventy or eighty popular votes. A Natural Curiosity. Hartford Courant. Hendricks as a McDonald man is an interesting novelty in Democratic politics. Vernal VestmentsThe most uncomfortable of all discomforting things is an ill-fitting suit in the sweltering days of summer. Now, of all times in the year, a man wants to wear as few and as thin, clothes as possible, and those clothes, his own—not garments that have been cut out for the average man (nobody is an “average man”), like cookies out of dough, but clothes that have been specially designed for him and meet his individual requirements as to knees, elbows, etc. Go to Egan Sc Treat, merchant tailors, and leave your measure for cool and comfortable vestments.

DYSPEPSIA Causes its victims to be miserable, hopeless, confused, and depressed in mind, very irritable, languid, and drowsy. It is a disease which does not get well of itself.

Asa Spring Medicine. Blood Purifier, Diuretic and Aperient, no other so-called blood purifier or sarsaparilla compound is for a moment to be compared with the Cutieura Resolvent. It. combines four great properties iu one medicine, acting at once upon the digestive organs, blood, kidneys and bowels. For those who wake with Sick Headache. Furred Tongue, Bilousncss, Dyspepsia, Torpidity of the Liver, Constipation, Piles, High-colored Urine, Inflamed Kidneys, Feverish Symptoms and other congested conditions requiring a speedy, gentle and safe aperient and diuretic, nothing in medicine can possibly equal it. The Heritage of Woe, Misery, shame and agony, often bequeathed as a sole legacy to children by parents, is neglected Scrofula. To cleanse the blood of this hereditary poison, and thus remove the most prolific cause of human suffaring, to clear the skin of disfiguring humors, itching tortures, humiliating eruptions, and loathsome sores caused by it, to purify ana beautify the skin, and restore the hair so that no trace of the disease remains, Cutieura Resolvent, the new blood purifier, diuretic and aperient., and Cutieura and Cutieura Soap, the great skin cures and beautifiers, are infallible. I Had STalt Rheum In the most aggravated form for eight years. No kind of treatment, medicine or doctors did me any permanent good. My friends in Malden knowhow I suffered. When I l>eguu to use the Cutieura Remedies my limbs were so raw and tender that I could not bear my weight on them without the skin cracking and bleeding. and was obliged to go about on crutches. Used the Cutieura Remedies five mouths, and was completely aud permanently cured. Mrs. S. A. BROWN, Malden, Mass. References: Any citizen of Malden. Mass. Copper-Colored. I have been afflicted with troublesome skin disease, covering almost completely the upper part of my body, causing my skin to assume a copper-colored hue. It could be rubbed off like dandruff, and at times causing intolerable itching and the most intense suffering. I have used blood purifiers, pills, and other advertised remedies, but experienced no relief until I procured the Cutieura Remedies, which, although used carelessly and irregularly, cured me. allaying that terrible itching, and restoring my sain to its natural color. I am willing to make affidavit to the truth of this statement. S. G. BUXTON. Milan, Mich. Sold by all druggists. Cutieura, 50 cents: Resolvent. $1; Soap, 25 cents.
