lspEo1AL TO THE sExrrsEL.l

New YORK, June 20.-Commodore O. Il.
Garrison, who made IN assignment to-day,
is well known as formerly deeply interested
in India steamship lines. He is a large
stakeholder in profitable gas companies IN
this city, st. Louis, New Orleans and
other large cities. He was the principal
owner in the Missouri Pacific Railrosd,
but sold out a few years ago to Jay Gould.
He had been interested lately in numerous
railway schemes. He was formerly a resi-
dent of st. Louis and made the bulk of
his fortune during the rebellion.
Melville G.. Day, counsel for Gar
rison, says the assignment Is made
because of financial embarrassment. 1t
was forced upon Garrison by the protest
of notes under his Endorsement yesterday.
He is a heavy holder of securities, and so
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 railroad secu-
rites, which have shrunk, but are not
now on the market, and the value OF
which cannot be estimated. The assign
ment is simply for the benefit of his cred
itors. The amount involved by the fall
ure of Garrison is supposed to be nearly
SIS, 000. 900. The preferences amount to
$631 900. Assignee Terry said it was M
possible yet to state the figures. The
effect ON Wall street still more unsettled
things, though not to 80 great an ex-
tent as was feared. 1t is said that Gar
rison lie not very largely interested in
stocks, his fancy being for gas
stocks and outside specialties. Stocks
fell of to three per cent, but no
failures are reported. A prominent
banker said the effect of the failure,
coming as it does now, will naturally IN
settle things, and, in fact, stocks cannot go
any lower without hitting and hurting
some one. l think the failure rather a
good thing than otherwise, for among the
many different people men like Vanderbilt
and Garrison do not stop at an accummu-
lation of two, three or five millions, but
they run it up to ten or twenty millions.
That is wrong, and a distribution Of such
large amount will benefit the people.
Engiish's Testimony.
WASHINGTON, June 90. = William H.
English testified that he had talked with
many members concerning his sons case,
but never offered an inducement to any
one.
"Did you ever have any talk with Weller
in the cloakroom ?"
81 did not, and I want to say that
Baynes' statement in his speech on the
floor of the House is false. l neither
directly nor indirectly tried to influence
Weller, and any statement that did SO is
wholly destitute OF truth
Ibid you ever know Of q candidate for
Vice President being on the floor Of the
House ?" asked Willard.
Il never knew one to have a son elected
to Congress. / thought this was an exeep-
ton, and that I had the privilege Of the
House."
"Did not you think your barrel was
larger than Peelles' ?"
"As to the barrel business, / know moth
ing about that. II you'll bring up the
barrel I'll tell you something about Indi-
ana soap" interrupted Henley (Dem.),
addressing himself to Willard (Rep.).
Adjourned.
Business Men Going to Chicago.
ST. LOUIS, June 20.-A large delegation
Of business men OF this city, chiefly, and
perhaps wholly composed of Democrats,
will go to Chicago during the sitting of
the Democratic National Convention.
The object is primarily to promote the
commercial interests of this city by per-
sonal contact with the leading men Of
the different parts Of the West, South,
and incidentally to exert political influ-
ence on delegates to the convention,
whether in the interest of any particular

cago during their stay in that city.
DoubI Murder and Suicide.
ST.. PAUL, Mimi, June 20.-There oc-
Cured this evening what probably will be
a double murder and suicide. j. G..
Crehura. the owner Of a small house, had
rented rooms to Mrs. Katharine Messer-
shmidt, aged rs, and her daughter Mar
garet, aged q. The woman paid the rent
to Crehura's wife, which angered him, and
tonight he entered the rooms of the
mother and daughter, armed with a large
butcher knife. After a short talk be at
tackled the women, stabbing the old woman
in the back and breast, resulting in in
slant death. He then attacked the daugh-
ter and stabbed her in the left lung, and
inflicted q dozen other slight wounds. She
will probably die. Crehura then went
down to his own room, locked himself in
and took poison.
A Demand by Nevada Democrats.
New YORK. June 20.-The Times says
the Democrats Of Nevada have come to time
with a demand for the removal Of all re-
strictions upon the coinage Of silver, be-
lieving that its restitution to its ancient
rank as a circulating medium will benefit
not only the mining industries of Nevada,
but the people of the entire country. This
sound doctrine is from a local point Of
view, and it is shared by a good many Ne
vada Republicans. The spectacle that will
be presented when the Blaine men present
their bids for votes in that State will be
