ABOUT THE GRAND ARMY.

The Twenty-seventh Annual En. Indianapolis.
 of veterans at Indianapolis will be one o1 the most successful ores in the history of the Grand Army of the Republic. Evidences of the ravagss of time in the ranks of the old soldiers are already wis ible, and 1t is likely that the G. A. R. has l reached it's maximum in membership and in the future will steadily decline. Many are interested to see if the foll call at h. dianapolis will show large decrease in membership.
 When it starts down ths other side of the hill of life the gait will be rapid. Last years official report showed an aggregate of 407, . 7S1 members.
 Indianapolis people think the attendance this year will be larger than st any en- campment in the history of the organizs- tton and have made arrangements to &C., commodate 100. .000 visitors, and they have fund of $15O, 900 with which to work.
 Encampments have been held at Wash ington twice, Boston twice, Cleveland, New Haven, Harrisburg, Chicago, Phila- oelpnla tWIce, Efoyiuencos oPtin8neiu, AL bany, Dayton, Indianapolis three times, Baltimore. Denver, Minneapolis, Portland, Me-, San Francisco, St. Louis, Columbus, Milwaukee and Detroit.
 The New York Sun saya: eff the Grand Army Is destined henceforth to dwindle in numbers there Is no ground for supposipg that it will suffer any diminution in en- thusiasm, or in the feeling of comradeship among its members. Nor is 1t likely to experience any falling of in popular inter est. Indeed, the lessening of it's numbers and of it's influence as a political factor will perhaps create larger public sympa- thy with 1t, forecasting the time when the last of the veterans shall have disappeared"

 Messrs. K. s. Mersick, IF. Covvles
 and E. HI. English Committee
 Assets of the Concern $1 6S, 1000;
 Liabilities s$1OS,OOO-The Business
 to Go On.
 The meeting of the creditors of the Henry Killam company was held at the office of filling & Webb, attorneys, yester- day afternoon. The meeting lasted three hours and was very harmonious in charac- ter. Ex-Senator Graham was chosen pre- siding officer of the meeting. The affairs of the company were discussed fully and at length and President Charles s. Mefsick of the Merchants' National bank was chosen receiver of the concern, and Messrs. E. 8. Mersick of English & Mersick, Frederick Cowles of 0. Cowles & Co.,, and Edwin H. English of English & Holt, were chosen the committee to assist and act with the receiver. New York and Bridgeport cred itors and creditors from various other cities were present. Over $1O0, 900 of the firms debt was represented. The indebtedness of the Killam company was found to be | $10S, ,000 and the assets $16S, ,000. The ten ! years' lease in New York at $10,000 8 year, which has hung like a weight l on the concern and which the concern was
 unable to get rid of, being neither able to dispose of 1t nor sub let the premises, was one of the causes which led to the firms embarrassment. It was the sense of the
 meeting that the business of the Killam
 company be continued, and 1t was thought
 that the prospects were good for the firms
 resumption of business ultimately, its bus inees connections and patronage being
 large and valuable, and the firms produc tionp ranking high in the market.
