INDIANA AND ILLINOISNEWS Daviess County Business Men Alarmed Because of a Serious Failure. Suspension of the Banking-House of Hyatt, Levings & -Christian Co-Operation Association-State Gleanings. INDIANA. Suspension of the Private Banking-House of Hyatt, Levings & Co. Special to the Indianapotis Journal. VINCENNES, Nov. 18.-The banking-house of Hyatt, Levings & Co., of Washington, twenty miles east of this city, failed to-day. This morning, at the opening hour, a notice pasted upon their front door announced that "Owing to a continued draw upon our assets, and not being able to collect, we have been forced to suspend, and have made an assignment to J. C. Billheimer and N. G. Read." The announcement created widespread consternation throughout this part of the country, as the establishment was considered in first-class condition and its stockholders thought to be gilt-edged. The institution was a private banking-house, and a large part of the business men of Washington deposited with it. Mr. J. C. Billheimer. one of the assignees, states that the liabilities will probably reach $122,000, and the estimated assets are about $100,000, if the figures of Mr. Hyatt, one of the members of the firm, are correct. The individual members of the firm are Mr. Elisha Hyatt, Hiram Hyatt and Jared Levings; others are also interested. The firm has good backing, inasmuch as Mr. Elisha Hyatt is estimated to be worth over half a million of dollars, although his wealth is all in real estate, and cannot be immediately realized upon. The bank was organized in 1868, and met with several reverses in 1873, during the panic, and in 1875. when the great flood of that year devastated this section. In 1875 the largest firm in Washington, Sprink & Veal, failed, and the effects of that failure were so severe that Hyatt, Levings & Co. never fully recovered from it. The business of Mr. Elisha Hyatt, the senior member of this bank, was so extensive that his failure will now bring the most damaging reverses upon a good many wellto-do people, and the greatest depression in business circles is anticipated. The farmers especiaily, it is feared, will suffer. and the business men of Washington feel anything but encouraged at the outlook. The people have the greatest confidence in Mr. Levings, the cashier. The failure was simply one of those unfortunate affairs that could not be averted. and was brought about by a tide of unavoidable events and general bad luck.

Dana Green, of the United States navy, was caused by his anxiety to combat the statements put forth by an officer of the Confederate iron-clad Merrimac, which was destroyed by one of the earliest monitors, at Hampton roads, Green being second in command of the latter. The Calumet sewer-pipe works, near Toronto, Ohio, valued at $100,000, were destroyed by fire. The principal block at Brookville, Ind., was burned, the loss being $80,000. Twelve buildings at Belvidere, Ill.; the Barrey Opera House and hotel at Corning, N. Y., and the opera-house and several other buildings at Chippewa Falls, Wis., fell a prey to flames. Gen. B. M. Prentiss, who recently visited the battle-field of Shiloh, urges that the bones of the unknown Confederate dead be removed to the National Cemetery and their last resting place be properly marked.
