REV GEORGE A. LOTION, pastor of
tie First Baptist church, of this city, an
indefatigable, earnest and jealous min
lister, notable also for the possession OF
gifts Of intellect that have made him q
conspicuous figure among the brethren Of
his church, has accepted the general
agency of the Baptist centennial move
ment in Tennessee-tO raise three hum
dred thousand dollars endowment foT
the Southwestern Baptist university, to
be located at jackson. His church has
granted him leave of absence for six
or twelve months, for the purpose Of
taking the field, which he will do to-
day, leaving for Nashville for that pur-
pose this morning. We need hardly
say that we wish Mr.. Lotion the largest
measure Of success, and trust that the
call he has made in the Baptist of this
week will be responded TO in a way to
maintain the credit for hberalIty and
generosity of the Baptists of our State.
Mr.. Lotion, in that address, marked, by
the wsy,,with all the stirring qualities
of his nature, says:
The time has arrived for organic alton
and effort toward the complexion Of our
great enterprise, the endowment Of the
Southwestern Baptist lta5Uersity, located
at Jackson, Tennessee. For this pur-
pose, and in order to secure the one
hundred and fifty thousand dollars
donated by the city Of jackson herself,
we must raise during the present CEN
tennial year three hundred thousand
dollars Understanding endowment.
III we lie. the glorious occasion
which now affords us the OppOr-
tunity TO accomplish this work clip,
the educational Interests OF Tennessee,
like the sun on the dial of AhsZ, will 60
back "ten degrees" Baptists of Ten
nessee, you cdanot afford 1t. The year
which now presents itself, is one Of most
extraordinary interest to the whole
country, and highly suspicious to our
success. Now, brethren OF Tennessee,
let us Ego forward" in the work. Es-
pecially let not the mobiles fail to put
their neck unto the work OF the Lord.
Old Big Hatchie association has taken
the lead, is organized for the work, and
has already begun her subscriptions and
donations. Let us all follow through
out the State.
Three hundred thousand dollars is
large sum, but we believe that Mr.. LOT
ton can raise it, and that he is above all
Others Just the man for the work.

THE most notable OF the local events
OF yeste rday was the celebration Of the
twenty.fifth anniversary Of the conse-
Grafton TO the priesthood OF Fathers
Kelly and Edlin. The noble church
edifice, the finest in our State, where for
30 many years both the reverend gentle
men have ministered acceptably to
large sud Influential congregation, was
filed at an early hour, and high mass
and a sermon from Rev. Father Mes-
CHER, significant, pointed and appropriate
made up the religious part Of the cele-
bration, which in other ways continued
the whole day, terminating in the after
noon In a dinner, to which large COM
pany OF prominent and well-known
gentleman sst down, and which cumi-
mated in the reception, acknowledgment
OF and response to q sentiment compl-
mentsry TO the reverend hosts. The
company embraced citizens Of other
communions than that which hCnOrs
Fathers Kelly and Edlin with its conf
dence, together with the leading men,
hers OF st. Peters, all OF them unitingin
respectful recognition Of the high quail
ties-the scholarship, fidelity ana zeIl-
of the priests who, after twenty-five
vesrs Of earnest lsbOrs, find them
selves, not only still Of the same
household OF faith, but standing
uas st the first they stood, }" shoulder to
sboul,Jer in the cause Of their church.
n, tboss who know how constant are
the Iabors OF the Catholic priesthood,
and how exagtiug is the discipline that
follows them in the by-wsys as in the
highways of life, 1t will be at once APP
parent that the ceremonies OF yesterday
were not without meaning, and that
their present attitude considered, The re-
verend recipients Of 30 much that vas
coagrstulatoTy in speech and compli-
meGtaTy in presents, were worthy the
distinction and honOrs Of so memorable
su occasion. We tender our cOngrstu-
lstione, and hope the kindly and conf
dentist relations existing between
Fathers Kelly and Ejlin and the con-
gregation o; ST. Peters may continue to
grow and strengthen for many, many
wears. Elsewhere we give full report
Of the interesting religious services and

The failure Of Duncan, Sherman d
Co., Of New York, was yesterday the
absorbing topic of conversation in finan-
cial and mercantile circles. Its effects
are more Immediately confined to New
York, Boston and London. Outside Of
the two first named cities in the United
States, we do not spprehend more than
q spasm OF "wsnt Of confidence "
as q result. The house has here
tOfore been considered one Of the
most solvent and reliable in the coun-
try, b1t il We are to give credence to the
statements we publish this morning it
was not worthy of confidence, resting as
it has for years upon "the ragged edge"
But this does not trouble US. Memphis
is ss.e, beyond even the reach Of so dis
astrous and unlooked-for failure.

1 morning, was the immediate cause Of
their failure. They had opened their
countiug-hOuse, when q cable telegram
from London decided the firm to sus-
pend. Ii is not a little surprising to learn
that when house of the first-class could
get paper discounted at four per cent,
the firm Of Duncan, Sherman & Co. was
rated at six per cent. TIE firm, or at
least some OF its members, have been
prominently identified with unfortunate
railway enterprises, such as the Erie,
Atlantic and Great Western, and others
OF a similar character. 1t has trsnspired
that the foreign bills of the firm will
amount to El20, 900 sterling. A private
cable dispatch announces the failure OF
the Union bank Of London, the largest
Joint banking firm in the city, and one
with which Duncan, Sherman & Co.
transacted large portion of their foreign
business.
THE EFFECT AT BOSTON.
Boston, July 27.-Stste street has not
witnessed since the war such a degree
Of excitement as prevailed there this
morning upon the announcement OF the
suspension Of Duncan, Sherman d Co.,
Of New York. The gold market opened
az AA@f1 ohN "hCh IC"D "Ao ANSSA' ~
gold was selling at Il34, and within tif-
teen minutes quotations bounded up to
1861, and afteTward receded to- 1874.
The effect was to entirely demOraliZe the
market; the highest transaction reported
was at 1854. The stock market was also
affected, and stocks declined from to 5
per cent, followed by slight rally.
THE EFFECT AT SAN FRANCISCO.
SAN FRANCISCO, July 27.-As far as
can at present be ascertained, the fall
ure of Duncan, Sherman 81 Co. produces
no marked effect here, except in q slight
depression, mainly confined to mining
stocks.
THE EFFECT AT CHICAGO.
CHICAGO, July 27.-The failure OF The
New York firm OF Duncan, Sherman IL
Co. had little effect. The only two
banks connected with that house are in
vOlved to but a small extent. Duncan,
Sherman & Co. are the financial agents
of this city in New York, but it is be-
lieved that the last payment on the city
bonds, for which money had been for
warded to them, had been made already,
and that the city will suffer no incOnve-
nience. On the board Of trade the feel
ing was not more unsettled than it has
been daily for the past ten days, and
fluctuations Of prices was less severe
than usual.

BEAVER, UTAH. July 27.-Most of
the DAY was occupied in legal questions;
the defense said he desired to examine
Brigham Yourg and George A. Smith;
they are both too feeble to travel; they
asked leave to have dispositions taken at
Salt Lake. The court said it could be
done by consent Of the prosecution,
which objected, claiming that both were
able TO travel. George w. Bradshaw
sworn: After the emigrants passed
Cedar, orders were issued to muster q
company to bury the emigrants killed
by the Indians; witness went with q
spade to fireplace ofIendezvous; Haight
asked where my gun was; / replied,
"Do you want gun to bury the dead?"
he said, "YOu fool, go home!" after the
emigrants had passed heard Hsight
preach; he said If some fools had not
tampered with the Indians, the emil
grants would then be in their graves,
but that it was all right as they had
merely gone farther into the net; after
the massacre, l heard Haight preach;
they were to say nothing about it; sew
the wagons brought back to Cedar; saw
the children; some Of them were but six
years old; the children gathered up by
the government agent were sent east.

The failure Of Duncan, Sherman &

eleven O'Clock, caused the most intense
excitemant on the street. The direct
cause Of the suspension is not 81 yet as
certained, and various rCmOrs are afoat,
among which one to the effect that their
difficulties have been pTecipitated by the
failure Of Messrs. Z. w. Callie, Of Lon

rRngements were made with the Barring
firm by which Duncan, Sherman d Co.
were to be protected. 1t is supPosed that

OF state that was In no way different
from actual deeth, -pulsation of the
heart, and respiration, having entirely

preston of the breast Ii the vicinity OF
the heart. The compression of the

especially upon its importance. His
researches are OF high interest in their
