AN INDIANA BANK FAILS.

INDIANAPOLIS, Nov. 19,-The suspen.
sion of the banking house of Hyatt, Lev
ings & Co, of Washington, Daviss
county, which was announced last
night, created much alarm throughout
that section, as the concern was c0nsid-
cred to be in first-class condition. 1t was
private house, and a large portion of the
business community of Washington de-
posted with it. j. G. Bell
heimer, one of the signees, states that
the liabilities will probably reach $122,.
900, and that the assets are $10O,O 900, if the
figures of Mr.. Hyatt, one of the members
of the firm, are correct. The individual
members of the firm are Elisha Hyatt,
Hiram Hyatt, and Jared Levings. Others
are also interested. The firm has a good
backing, inasmuch as Elisha Hyatt is esti-
mated to be worth over $500, 900, although
his wealth is all in real estate, and can
not be Immediately realized upon. The
bank was organized in 1868, and met with
several reverses in 1873 during the panic,
and also in 1870, when the great flood OF
that year devastated that section. The
business of the senior member of the firm
was so large that it IS feared that his
failure will bring serious reverses upon
the community. No specific reason is
assigned for the failure.

ELECTION CONDOLENCES.
Things Strange and Striking and Som,
Neither Striking Nor Strange.

Things Strange and Striking and Some
Neither Striking Nor Strange.
Congressman Post, of Pennsylvania,
says Washington special of Nov. Il,
who has been Secretary of the Democrat
ic Congressional Campaign Committee,
says there is a probability of the commit
tee retaining its present headquarters on
+ street throughout the coming winter.
1t has been found necessary to have some
place for headquarters, and the present
one is thought to be the best.
Speaking of the result of the election he
says Pennsylvania loses her vote in the
electoral college for the first time, and so
the old saying, "As goes Pennsylvania so
goes the UniOn," no longer holds good.
so also the fate of candidates for the
Presidency whose names begin with &
who have heretofore been defeated as in
the days Of Cass, Clay and Crawford. The
Republican party began its successful ca
Teer in Chicago and ended it there, the
candidates being in 1860 from Illinois and
Maine and the reverse IN 1884, which is
also a political reverse to the grand old
party. NJ. Lincoln came into office in
1851, and DIr. Lincoln's son goes out of
Office IN 1885.
COLD WATER AND RAIN WATER.
Though it was cold water. according to
Mr.. Blaine, it was rain water which
swamped him, and, finally, the Washing
ton monument was begun by James Il.
Polk, a Democratic President, laying the
corner stone. Work on the structure was
resumed in 1877, when Mr.. Tilden ought
to have been in the White House, and
the celebration of its completion will be
on Feb. -. eleven days after the official
count. which declares Grover Cleveland
President elect.
Never before in a Presidential campaign
have there been so many striking cOinci-
dences, not forgetting the prediction
which Mr.. Blaine himself made Of the de-
feat OF his party before the Republican
Convention had met, and who now, like
many an old sinner, puts the RESPONSE
himself.

Declared Fraudulent.
NEW YORK, Nov. 19.-The firm of Sie-
denback, Schwab & Co., large woolen
merchants in this city, failed in Septem-
Der, 1883, and made an assignment to
William Sulzbacker. Shortly afterwards
a number of creditors began an action in
the Superior Court to set aside the assign
ment on the ground of fraud. The claims
involved in the action aggregate more
than 100000. The court rendered a de-

declaring the assignment to be fraudulent
and void, and decreeing that a receiver
of the estate OF the insolvent firm should
be appointed.
James w. BOutOn, a dealer in books, has
assigned, with preferences amounting to

in old and rare books, and was supposed

Serious Sickness Results Among the
People of Two States.
LYNCHBURG, VA, Nov. ia tale of
deep distress comes from Buchanan,
Wise and Dickinson counties. These coun-
ties occupy isolated positions ON the ex-
treme western limit of Virginia. For a
number of weeks fatal disease has been
prevalent there and many deaths have
occurred. The nature of the disease is as
yet underlined, but 1t is believed to arise
from poisonous water. A drought that has
continued there for months has nearly
dried up all the streams. A reliable cor
respondent writing from there tells a pit
iful story, and says that in some cases as
many as four corpses were found in a
single house.

WHEN Galveston first proposed to at
tempt to get the Eads bill through Con-
gress, in order TO obtain deep water,
there was very generously expressed
sentiment in favor OF 1t. But this good
opinion has been suddenly antagonized
by the action of the News, as the special
organ of the Eads bill, when it advo-
Gates and repeats that all the Govern
ment plans on the Gulf coast to secure
deep water, have been failure. This
has been done at Aransas, which in
some respects could be classed as that of
an experimental character, and work
that Colonel Mansfield easily demon
strates the practloability of. As long as
Galveston confined her argument to the
showing made at Galveston, the public
was willing to give the proposition en-
enlargement, but when the advocates
of the Ead's measure attacked every
other plan, and relied almost alone upon
misrepresentation to accomplish that
purpose the feeling changed, and now a
very wet blanket has fallen over the
proposition, and those who favored 1t at
its inception have been antagoniZed by
the selfshness and the misrepresenta-
tion of its advocates to accomplish the
object, and the further implied intent to
oppose every effort made by other points
to obtain deep water, until the Eads
bill is disposed of once, and definitely
Deep water can be obtained at Aransas
Pass easily, and when the work already
done there is misrepresented and openly
opposed, the public began to see that
Galveston was not even just or gener,
Gus, and that she claimed for herself
that which she would deny to the bal
ance Of the State.

philosophers to investigate the votes OF
the States more completely than usual.

Star says: "1he official returns of the

able anomalies in the ratio of votes for
electors In various States. In Alabama,
Louisiana, Mississippi, Georgia and
South Carolina one vote Is equal TO
about two votes in Indiana, Kansas,
Ohio, New Jersey or Michigan. A vote
in Massachusetts, nearly equals two
votes In Indiana, and counts more than
vote in Maryland. North Carolina,
Texas, Tennessee. West Virginia or
Virginia. A vote in Maine ia equal TO
II votes in Ohio and has greater power
in choosing electors than vote in any
of the six Southern States above named
except Tennessee. In Oregon one vote
has more power than two In Ohio, In
diana, Kansas, New Jersey or Michigan.
One vote in Nevada counts more than
eight votes In Ohio, and more than four
votes In Louisiana. Alabama or'Missis-
sippi In Rhode Island one vote counts
more than four votes in Ohio, more than
two votes in Mississippi and more than
one and one-half votes in South Caro-
