Graat is probably rapidly machine the end cf his long sickness. Tuesday evening his condition became much more unfa vorable and the phvslcians would rive no assurance that he would survive the nfeht. He became o weakenevl that he could not assist himself tn any way. A hvperderniic irjectlon of brandy aroused him considerably, however, and at 11 o'clock he communicated to the physicians that "there was' no earthly use for them (the family) sitting up any longer. At two o'clock his condition had not changed materially. Mrs. Grant wa fanning him. The doctor hal retired.

FAIHTRB Of JOILY ROACH. The Governments Refusal to Accept the Dolphin Financially Embarrasses the Great Ship-Builder. John Roach, the ship-builder, who built

the dispatch boat, Dalphin, who has bee Going ousmess unaer the name or John Roach Son, made an assignment, Saturday, to George TV. Quintard, of New York, and George I.. Weed, o! Hartford, Conn. The assignor first directs that the wages and salaries of all employees be paid, and then he prefers: William Rowland, of Xew Brunswick, X. J., for money loaned, work and labor done, and materials furnished J62.2lT.SW, for a part of which he holds four promissory notts made by Mr. Uaeh. A promissory note made by the assignor, bearing date June 10, 1SS?, and payable in three months, for 20,W, w'rich vTa distonnd by the XechaiTf and Traders' Bantt, of Brooklyn, N. T alffrertC. P fT.

Nie assignment Oien directs the payment of all other debts and liabilities due or to become due, together with interest monev due, including all lawlul claims against Mr, Roach by W. 11. Whitney, Thomas F. Row. land, James E. Ward, Geo. W. Quintard and William Rowland, for indemnity asainst expenses and liability incurred by them by reason of their having become sureties and havinsr executed bonds at the instance of the assignee and tor his benefit, upon certain contracts entered into by the assignee, on o about the month of July, 1SS3, with the United States represented by the Secretary of the Navy, for the construction of three steel cruisers, known respectively as the Boston, Atlanta and Chicago, and the dispatch boat Dolphin, and the lawful claims of the estate of Levi "Kerr against the assignee by Kerr, now disceased, of certain bonds and contracts. A man whose knowledge of, and interest in, public has given him a wide acquaintance with leading business men of the coun try, expressed himself thus, while talking with a reporter: "The announcement Is indeed startling news to me, as it undoubtedly will be to thousands of people, But if you will stop and think a moment yon will come to the same conclusion as myself, that it is nothing more than could be expected under the circumstances. Secretary Whitney's action in regard to the Dolphin was the entering point of the wedge, which has torn Roach trom his financial moorings. The repeated trial trips of the Dolphin : the adverse dee!on by the members of the examining oard, and finally the decisions of the Attorney-general that the contracts had by Mr. Roach authorizing him to build the four steel cruisers now nearly completed in his yard at Chester are null and roid, were enough to ruin any man. Mr. Roach has expended ia the construction of these four vessel, $15,000, WO or S2C.W0. Now he finds that be has on his hands some f"Sow,000 worth of ironclads which the covernment will not bur. Mr. Roach has undoubtedly made large loans on the strensrth of his contracts with the government, which he cannot now meet." Garrett Roach said, in his father's behalf: "Father has nothing to say. His physical health Is such that he is cnished beneath the blow that has fallen upon him. He will not see nor talk to any one. of one thing jou may feel assured, no one will ever loose a dollar by him. But in the complications which have arisen in his business, and the claim of the Attorney-general that there are no contracts for the building of these vessels be has been compelled to place his property in the hands of trustees. Whatever may be the outcome, you may rest assured that justice will be meted out to all to whom my father is indebted." The New York Tribune says that one cause of the assignment is said to be Mr. Reach's state of health. He is suffering from heart disease, and fatal results were feared if he continued to worry over the the supervision of his business. His attorney, Mr. Vanderpoel, says the contracts for the remaining three cruiers will be carried out. The Tribune adds: "The assignment tell heavily on the S00 men at woik in the Morgan Iron works. They were thrown out of employment. The fate may extend to 1,TW others employed at Chester, Pa." Geo. W. t juintard , one of Mr. Roach's as signees, said Sunday evening: "While the fact that Mr. Roach was contemplating an assignment for the benefit of his creditors was known to me, for the reason that I had been asked to be one of the assignees, yet I did not expect it so soon. The eause of Mr. Roach's assignment is perfectly plain, and Is attributable entirely to the action of the government in regard to the Dolphin, and Mr. Roach's desire to deal honestly with his creditors. He could not get any satisfactory answer from Mr. Whitney as to the disposition of the Dolphin matter, and as the alleged failure of the Dolphin was a complete surprise to him, and seemed in some manner to reflect upon his honor, It preyed upon his mind so that for the last stx weeks he has not been considered by his friends to be in a condition, mentally, to conduct his business. The adverse crill cisms that have appeared from time to time tn the newspapers preyed upon his mind He has become melancholy and It has been necessary to have him closely, watched. He eouiit not slay in his house, and two men, one tn front and the other behind htm, have accompanied him wherever he has rone Mr. Roach has abmt .00,non locked up tn the ships that he was building for the gov ernment, and as the government claims that tt had no contract with him, there would be the same trouble with the rest of the shtps that there has been with the Dolphin. So that nothing, in his judgment, was left for htm to do but turn over his property to his creditors etary SecrWhitney said : "I do not think tt will have any effect upon the government. I am very sorry for Mr. Roach. I am always sorry when a man falls Into such difficulties ; but I d, not see that the failure can have any considerable effect upon the govern' ment. The government has one Teel tn his ship-yard ; and two at New York building, but the amount are nearly all paid on them. I saw in a morning paper that Mr, Roach thinks I am responsl le for the trouble or at least that t could give reltef, but the government owes only the amount de on the lvlphin, which would not be enough to put Win n a sure footing again. The affair

is unfortunate, but t cannot help him. Yes, the failure was a matter of surprise in government, as well as business circles, but 1 cannot see how the government will be affected." Mr. John Roach Sunday night in speaking of his assignment said: "Now as to the

ianses that have led to m v assiminentrtriciiy speaking, it is not a rauure. That Is to say my assignees will be "able to pay two dollars for every one dollar of liabilities if they realize anything like the real value of my property. 1 can not now say what the exact amount of my l abilities is, nor what the sum of my assets will be to meet it. If I were not so old a man, and if I had health a while longer, I could pull things straight again, tt was my great ambition that our nation should record its glory and prosperity on the h'gh seas. I wanted to prove that we could do business on our bottom and that other nations with leaa resource were not iar acftslwis "nd -jterpriatttj on the seat. I ire V"Vn my 3 twrtntu to VWA J.d. vT I ven ia jW what J ffsnee o? Uvls calamity J m proud of Jot Roach has ari!iaheflL In regard to bis ccntract nth the Gop niment Mr. Roach said : "I tell you, my friend,

that those boats were condemned before thecrs of cattle lands by illegal leases, for

Keeis were lata. They were condemned ti Congress. The Democracy dared not oppose the plan of a new navy, because it barf become a very popular notion. . The people tn a mass wanted a navy. But they opposed the appropriations because, as they claimed in their congressional speeches, the money would not be honestly spent. The appropriation was made against this clamor and bids for the work were asked. Mine was the lowest bid, because I had farprcater facilities for the work than any other shipbuilder. I secured the contracts, and began the work of construction. In the meantime the Democracy has come into power, and prepared to prove their prophecy that the appropriation was not honestly spent. The Dolphin, a strong, substantially excellent vessel, was condemned on the most puerile technicalities, and to add to this injustice, Mr. Garland has repft diated the contracts, and ttracticallv fcaid that there exists no binding agreement be tween me and the Government. That cap ped, the climax. Consequently, in the best interests of my creditors and of the Government, I judged it best to call a halt, pay on" my men and surrender my property to trustees who could pay my debts aid leave me what balance there might be for my last dava." NATIONAL NEWS. A Keriew of the Events of General Interest Transpiring at Washington. Second Comptroller Maynard has decided that money appropriated to StateR must first be used as a set-off to debts due the general government. Ex-Senator Francis Kernan has declined the appointment of Government Director of the Union Pacific Railroad recently tendered him by the President. An examination of a list of th new post masters that have been appointedince the. 4th of March reveals the fact that there have been more changes in Indiana than tn any other state in the Union with the same population, and it is believed a clean sweep will be made. Secretary Whitney has decided that the eight-hour law shall hereafter be enforced in the different navy yards; that is, employes shall receive ten hours pay for eislit hours labor. Heretofore they have received eight hours pay for eight . hours labor. The general order directing the change has not been issued yet, but information ot the proposed change has been received at the Washington navy-yard. Miss Cleveland left Washington, Thursday morning for New York City, and is not ex pected to return until the heated term is over. She will spend the summer in the netehborbood of New York. The President will leave Washington about August 1, for a visit to tbe Adirondack mountains, where he will remain about a month or six weeks, to obtain much needed rest and recreation. He will be accompanied by a few personal friends. The beginning of the fiscal year brought comparatively no changes in the State, War and Navy departments and the clerks who feared they might possibly receive a dread ed yellow envelope on the 1st of July, be came reassured as the day passed by, and none appeared. In the State Department, there were two or three appointments made under the civil-service rales to fill vacancies in the lower grades. In the Navy Department the services of a carpenter in the Secretary's office were dispensed with, because there was no appropriation for his retention. Since the close ot the last fiscal year there has been found to be a balance of the appropriation for the compensation of postmasters. Strenuous appeals have .been made to the Postmaster-general to use this balance to pay the amounts found to be due postmasters for adjusted salaries under the act of March Jt, 1SSS, which now aggregate nearly $200,000. The Postmaster-treneral has investigated the subject, and decided to adhere to the former practice of the department, by which the amounts found to be due for re. adjustment were certified to the Secretary of the Treasury, and by him included tn the estimates that form the basis of the deficien cy appropriation bill. The recent visit of ex-Senater McDonald, of Indiana, to Washington, revives the rn mor that he is to succeed Mr. Justice Brad, ley on tbe bench of the United States Supreme Court before the first of January next. Mr. Justice Bradley reached the age of seventy at which age justices of the United States Supreme Court may retireon the 4th of March, last. He ts expected to retire this fall. Chief-justice Waite will reach the age of seventy on the 29thofNo rember, lSSt, Mr. Justice Miller on the 4th of April, 1996, and Mr. Justice Field, on the 4th of November, 1998. So President Cleve land will probably have four vacancies in the United States Supreme Court to fill beore his term expires. W Have On Too, Boston Port.

Of course, there will be failures here and there, but the result will be as above stated.

Attorney-General Hord rendered an opln ton, Monday, that the good-time law as con cerned convicts was constitutional and val id. The various authorities bearing upon the subject were given, and in conclusion, Mr. Hord says: "It is my opinion that cred it for good time, as provided by said statute, is not a commutation of punishment. It is a part of the judgment in every case of conviction by operation of law. The statute fixes the good times granted to each crimin al according to the term of sentence. The warden In computing the diminution of time acts ministerially, and does not exer cise any judicial power. It has been the policy of the law to invite the prisoner to subordination and obedience by the substitution of the persuasive influence of hope for compulsion by the scourge. Since 1861 the law has provided for a reduction of im prisonment for good conduct. The act of 1883 is an amendment thereof and is a tran script of the law that has prevailed in other States on tbe same subject. I have not observed that the validity of such legislation has been impugned or questioned. I think this legislation is constitutional and should be sustained." With a very few exceptions, which can not now be recalled, the following is a list ot the new officials of prominence from Indiappointed in the Government Depart ments by the present administration up to date, including heads of divisions and bu reaus, chiei clerks and other officials, not including those in the classified service nor any below, to which is added the diplomatic changes.

In its semi-annual review of the develop ment of the South's industrial interests, the Baltimore Manufacturers' Record published a list of manufacturing and mining enter prises organized in the fourteen Southern States during the last six months. It shows there has been great activity in . tbe South in the organization of new industries, de spite dull times, and moreover that the growth of Southern industrial interests is not confined to anyone line, but covers a wide diversity of enterprise. The total amount of capital, including capital stock of incorporated companies represented by the new enterprises organized during the last six months and in the enlargement of old plants and the rebuilding of mills destroyed by fire, aggregates $3Q,534,000. The outlook for business in the South, according to the Manufacturers' Record, is very promising. Rareiy, if ever, have the prospects for the growing crops been more encouraging than at present. Every indication points to magnificent corn and cotton crops the largest ever produced while for rice, sugar, fruits, and vegetables the outlook is almost, if not quite, as gratifying. THE TORRID TEMPERATURE. Large Mortality Among Chicago Infants Caused by the Inlen.se Heat. Chicago, July 22 Inquiries were made at the health department concerning the two days' torrid spell of the death rate. It ap pears that while no cases of sunstroke were reported to tne department, the hot weather played sad havoc with children. Cholera infantum has been prevalent to quite an alarming degree in many quarters of the city. Last evening the number of children under five years who died was 224; for yes terday alone there had been reported up to noon to-day, in the register's office, jno less than forty-two children under five, and this, of course, does not represent the entire mor tality among children who died yesterday. The great majority of these deaths were from cholera infantum. Had the hot weather continued, it is more than likely tbe slaughter of the innocents from this cause would have made a terrible showing before tbe end of the week. Considerable mortality is reported from other parts of the- country, especially in New York and other large cities. The temperature ranged from 96 to 104 degrees. The Fort Reno special says: "The enrollment of the Indians began Tuesday morning. The Arapahoes number 1,500, Instead or 2,500, and the Cheyennes will not number 3,(XT0 people. The Indians offered to give all their arms and horses to the com missioner, who refused them, because, aa they receive money, they go to Caldwell and buy more. Agent Dwyer has tendered his resignation, claiming that he had no support from the Department in forcing law and order among the refractory Indians. Should his resignation be accepted and a new agent appointed, It is uncertain wheth er the Indiana would be obedient under hia orders or not. MlM Cleveland Ornatnotaa. Washington letter. Her clothes are neat, but there is aothing especially stylish about their make. And her ornaments well, I know some wives of government clerks who would' think themselves disgraced it they were seen wearing them. At one of her Saturday afternoon receptions she wore a steel ornament. A very fashion able lady, as she left the White House, turned ap her nose until it almost reached the ceiling; and remarked; "Steel ornaments! Just think?'

AUGENSCHLAGER'S DOG.

Strange and Pathetic Story of ad Immigrant OB the WestphaliaK. Y. dispatch. Christian Augenschlager, a German immigrant, who arrived in the steamer Westphalia, from Hamburg, yesterday, met vsith such a startling surprise when he landed at Castle Garden that he fainted dead away, and it is feared that he will have to be 'sent back to Germany under the law which prohibits the Commissioners of Immigration from receiving insane immigrants. When Augenschlager went on board the steamer at Hamburg, he succeeded in smuggling his favorite dachsund Blucher into the ship. He had heard that there were foxes in the State of Wisconsin, were he was going, and he wanted his dachshund to go into the foxes' holes and pull them out. The body of the dachshund was fully two and a half feet long, but the length of his legs was not more than six inches. His body was a mixture ot black and tan, and his fore paws stood out at right angles with his body. Everybody went well with Augenschla ger and his dachshund, until one day the burlesque on the canine specie seacaped from the steerage, and was soon after found by the cook in the galley helping himself to a huge piece cf meat. Augenschlager missed the dog just in time to run up on deck and see the cook drag Blucher' by his tail to the ship's side, and hurl him into the middle of the Atlantic Ocean. Augenschlager had committed an ofense in smuggling his dachshund aboord the ship, and of course had nothing to say. He merely went below and wept. It was during the forenoon of Thurs day, May 21, that Augenschlager saw his dog thrown overboard. On stepping ashore at Castle Garden yesterday his attention was attracted to a dog that lay curled up and trembling on the corner of the dock, and which looked remark ably like his lost dachshund. Kommst du heir, Blucher," said Au genschlager, with a half stifled voice. The dog responded by creeping up to Aughenschlager's feet, for sure enough it was Blucher. Augenschlager threw up his bands, exclaimed, "Mein lieber Gott, it is Blucher's ghost," and then swooned. He was cared for by. a fellow-passenger, as was also the dachshund, which had manifested no surprise at all on seeing his master under such strange circumstances. The unfortunate emigrant's talk became very wild and incoherent,and it is thought that he will be completely insane. News of the remarkable occurrence spread rapidly, and finally came to the ears of Ernest Picard, who was a passenger on the French steamer Xormandie, which had arrived a few hours ahead of the Westphalia. Picard said that on the afternoon of Thursday, May 21, the Kbrmandie ran into a whole "school" of icebergs, the weather was foggy and the ship laid to or proceeded under low sail for several hours. While the ship was at a standstill the attention of some of the sailors was attracted to a strange looking animal in the water, which was taken for a seal brought from the arctic regions by one of the bergs. The animal swam straight up to the ship'B side, and a sailor let himself down and easily pulled it in. Tbe animal was then found to be a German daahshund, and what seemed strangest of all, he had in his jaws a beefs liver and lungs, commonly called the "pluck.'-' The dachshund was Augenschlager's Blucher, and the "buoyant pluck" which he had stolen from the galley of the Westphalia had helped him to keep afloat for nearly Bix hours. The Normandie, after gttting clear of the icebergs, passed the Westphalia and Blucher was landed at Castle Garden with the rest of the passengers in advance of those who came in the steamer from Hamburg. He refused to follow Picard, who had "adopted" him, and remained on the dock as if he expected his old master to arrive in due time. THE MARKETS. Corrected to July 2S, 1885. IadlananAlla.
