The Sharp Trial.
New York, Juno 22.—In the Sharp trial
this morning the cross examination of ex-
Alderman Waite was continued.
While Waite was under cross-examina
tion, ex-Aldermau Miller, another of the
boodlers, was led into court by Detective
Schuyler to bo in readiness to appear as a
witness. Bright, counsel to the Broadway
Surface road, was recalled. He testified
that the scheme of the proposed road was
submitted to his firm by Sharp aud Forshay,
and was elaborated by them. He drew a
mortgage to the bonds after consultation
with the client. He refused to disclose
the client’s name, but said it was not
Sharp. There was no attempt at conceal
ment on the part of their client. Bright
admitted that he prepared the re
port of the railroad committee
of the board of aldermen on the Broadway
franohise and other returns offered by the
committee granting tho franchise. The
report was prepared before the committee
concluded its hearing on the subject and
sent by them to Maloney by a messen jor.
Questioned about the Lyddy injunction,
Bright said that he went to Judge Bart
lett’s house in Brooklyn at 9 o’clock of the
night preceding the morning of the meet
ing of the aldermen at which the franchise
was granted and obtained from him an
order dissolving it, Lyddy haying consent
ed to its dissolution. The dissolution oi
the injunction restraining the alder
men from action on the matter
was prepared by witness. Bright
here begged that he might not be forced
to say anything about his conversation
with Judge Bartlett. He was put in a
most disagreeable position a lawyer could
be placed by the question, as it necessarily
arrayed him against a judgo ofthe supreme-
court. He begged Niooll not to press him
for answer and appeared greatly affected.
Nieoll said he was compelled to demand
a reply.
Bright said Judge Bartlett expressed the
opinion that the injunction should never
have been granted aud questioned the
right of the court to enjoin a legislative
body. He either hinted or mentioned
about an early meeting of the aldermen
the next morning. He had a second inter
view with Judge Bartlett about a year ago
in chambers in Brooklyn. Witness having
heard that the district attorney had criti
cised his professional conduct in the mat
ter of the bonds as well as the matter
of the Lyddy injunction, in-
called on Martine and told him
his recollection of his application to Judge
Bartlett. Martine remarked that Judge
Bartlett’s recollection of the details was
entirely different.
At this po’nt witness became so affected
as to be unable to sneak for several min
utes, and when he resumed tears were run
ning down bis cheeks. He said that Bart
lett was pleased to see linn, aud that they
talked over what had occurred
when the order had been asked
for. Judge Bartlett said that
had he known of the early. morning meet
ing he would never have signed the order,
and he said he was much displeased that
Bright had not told him. They parted in
a friendly manner. Witness gave the or
der he had obtained to Waite and was in
the city hall while the morning meeting
was in session. When it was over he ob
tained a cei tilled copy of the resolution
overriding the mayor’s veto.
A Batlroad Accident.
Oakland, Md., June 22.—The Chicago
express over the Baltimore aud Ohio road,
due here at 10:40 a. m., was wrecked at
Snowy Creek, about eight miles west of
this town, this morning. An uuknown
tramp, who was stealing a ride, was im
paled on the bumper of the mail car and
instantly killed, and three passengers and
three postal clerks were slightly injured.
A broken rail caused the accident. The
engine passed the spot, but the mail car
left the track and plunged down an em
bankment thirty feet deep, followed by
the baggage ancl passenger ears. No one
was so badly injured as to cause a lay-off
on their journey, but their escape from
death was miraculous. The track was
cleared and ready lor travel in about four
hours.

of royal favor over the sole pillar of an im
periled state identified with Parnellism
and crime?”

Lexington, Ky., June 22.—Information
has been received by the Transcript of an*
other battle in Rowan county, which was
received this morning at 9 o’clock. In this
fight Tolliver, the desperado who ’ as ter-
ro 'zed over that section, was killed. It is

Jed by Dr. Logan, whose t wo sons were
mn de v ed in cold blood by the Tolliver
men about two weeks ago, and who was
in jab ni this city at the time of the trage-
dv. The authorities had organized a baud
of: egu 1 aloes for the purpose of suppress
ing the desperadoes. Rumors of this
band being in the neighborhood
of Morehead have been frequent.
This morning at a little after 9 o’clock, the
roguhitors being concealed inclose prox-
Jarty to Morehead, opened lire on Tollivar
and some of his gang who were on tbe
streets. Tollivar was killed in the engage

houses aud. trees and shooting at any one
that could be seen. Reports Idiflfor as to
the number killed, one placing the num
ber at five, including Tollivar. Another
stated that Craig Tollivar, two of his
brothers and thirteen others had been
killed. There is great contusion in
the telegraphic reports coming aud ac-
curate news is out of the question.

himself of a side door which tho invaders
did not know of. As soon as ho made his

A CHILD WITH TWO HEADS.
It Is Covered with SliaRRy Hair and Ih Very Odd
Indeed.
Asheville, N. C., June 18.—A child
with two heads was born yesterday in the
little town of Coopers, eight miles east of
this place. The heads are back to back.
The front face is perfect, while the one at
the back is not regular. There is only one
neck for the two skulls, and the hair on
the forehead comes dowxi to the eyes. The
arms of this phenomenon are covered with
a heavy, shaggy growth of hair entirely to
the wrists. Ruth and Harvey Lyth, two
hard working colored people, are the
parents of this strange child. The child is
an unusually large one, weighing about
sixteen pounds and apparently two feet
long. It is almost white, aud has fair fea
tures that are rather pleasing when the
shaggy forehead and rear head are con
cealed. Its voice is not that of the human
young, but suggestive of the lower animals
in its strange, unnatural cries. It has not
taken nourishment from its mother, but
t.eedily swallows what is otherwise given
it. The mother appears attached to this
strange creature, and refers to it in terms
of endearment.

Chicago, June 22.—A special from San
Francisco says: The indications are grow
ing plainer that the rivalry of American
capitalists who desire to control tho sugar
trade of the Sandwich Islands is like ly to
plunge the kingdom of Kalakana into a
civil war. Clearance papers at the Sati
Francisco custom house show that the
steamer Australia which sailed yesterday
for Honolula carried a largo quantity of
arms and ammunition. This is considered
as very significant when taken into con
sideration with the revolutionary feeling
that i3 said to exist in the Ilawaaian is
lands. The shipments included eighty
cases, in which were neatly 1000 Winches
ter rifles and 164,000 cartridges. The arti
cles were consigned to an old missionary
merchant. Ills among this element of
the population that the most revolution
ary feelings exists. Largo shipments of
arms and ammunition have also been
made to Honolulu by sailing vessels.
A Terrific Explosion.
Manchester, June 22.—A terrific explo
sion occurred in Roberts, Dale & Co.’s
chemical works in this city to-day, which
destroyed the building. The ruins took
fire und tho flames spread to Pomona
palace. The windows for miles around
were smashed by the force of the explo
sion. The explosion occurred in a large
retort containing pioric*acid, the plates of
which are heavily constructed and were
blown a groat distance. Many houses near
the factory were partially demolished, and
it is feared many persons were killed. The
burning ruins threw out an intense heat
and the firemen found it impossible to ap
proach the fire. The military assisted the
firemen. A large number of workmo .
were scalded by the acid or injured by
falling debris.
Work of the Wind.
Lynchburg. Va., June 22.—-A heavy
storm visited this city last night, blowing

damage. The damage in tho country is
thought to be heavy.
Wilmington, Del., June 22.—A violent
storm of wind and rain broke over the city
short’y a.ter noon to-day. doing great
damage. Just beyond tho city limits a big
oak tree was uprooted and fell on a double
frame dwelling, cruaing in the roof and
killing three of the occupants, Mrs. James
Noble, Mrs. George Doran and Mrs. D

to the Prince of Wales.
London, ’June 20.—Tho royalties who
now throng London, and who have assem
bled here in greater numbers than ever
before in any one place in Europe, appar
ently take more interest in the Wild W
show than in lhe jubilee performance).
The queen of Belgium said to one ofllie
English gentlemen who called on her this
morning that she did not eoine to London
at all on account of t lie jubilee, but that
she came here because site was dying to
see the Wild West performance. There
was a private exhibition given this morn-
'ng by Buffalo Bill and his men for the
benefit of the visiting royalties. The gen
eral public was not admitted. There were
not over twenty guests outside ofthe peo
ple who had been invited by tho prince
of Wales. Judging by the interest dispb. vt \
by the royal guests at the Wild West Show
this morning, it is very evident that Col.
Cody could go through Europe and com
mand the same attention for his perform
ance that he has obtained in London.
There were never so many crowned heads
before at any private or public entertain
ment given in Europe. The prince of
Wales brought with him four reigning
overeigns end the crown princes of the
most prominent countries in Europe.
There were four kings present, namely,
tho king of Denmark, the king of Greece,
the king of Saxony and the king of the
Belgians. Besides these were the Crown
Prince Rudolph, of Austria, the hereditary
prince and princess of Saxe-Meiningen,
the crown prince and princess of Germany,
tho crown prince of Sweden aud Norway,
the Princess Victoria, of Prussia, tho duke
of Sparta, Prince George of Greece, Prince
Louis of Baden and the prince and princess
of Wales, Prince Albert Victor ana Prince
George of Wales, and the Princesses Vic
toria and Maud of Wales. These were at
tended by a numerous suit of lords and
gentlemen and ladies-in-waiting. The en
tire Wild West performance was gone
through with from beginning to end, and
the royal visitors became so excited aud
interested that they had to go into the
arena in ordor to observe tho shooting and
manoeuvres at close range. All of tho
royal visitors wore black frock coats and
higli silk hats with the exception of the
prince of Wales, lie wore a light spring

'Upwards the close, just before the prince
of Wales went away he asked Colonel
Cody if he had ever played before four
kings before. Cody replied with a courtly*
how to the group: “I have, your royal
highness, but 1 never held such a royal
Hush as this against four kings.” The
prince had asked his question in all seri
ousness, hut he was delighted with Colonel
Cody’s ready answer and laughed very
loudly. He then turned around and ex
plained all tho complicated bearings of
this answer of Colonel Codv to the royal
ties. who—poor, benighted beings -do not

The Velio
Cincinnati. June 22.-— As the exarain
tion ot the Fidelity National bank or
ceeds Cavernon’s deficit increases. It ’
common talk on the streets that the liabil
ities of the hank will reach the stupendous
sum of $6,000,009, while the assets dwindle
in proportion. It seems a foregone ** oc
clusion that the depositors will get next to
nothing. This is the general tp’k, but or
course' it is unofficial and cannot he veri
fied until the bank examiner
finishes his work and makes
his report. It is stated to day
that a memorandum which is a substitute
for collateral shows that Wiltshire used
$1,100,000 of the bank’s money, and that
collaterals for other loans were hypothe
cated in New York and elsewhere. The
belief of some is that Wiltshire succeeded
as the agent of Harper in conducting the
wheat deal, and was not really a borrower.
Vice President Harper, Cashier Baldwin
and Assissant Cashier Hopkins are under
arrest on warrants sworn out by the bank
examiners. Harper’s bail is fixed at $75,-
000 and the others at $10,000 each.
Tho morning papers this morning are
full of matter connected in various ways
with the Fideiit” National Bank’s closing.
Among other things is the statement that
Bank Examiner Powell on Monday after
noon demanded a statement from tne bank
and received one showing a balance on
hand of $1,100,000 in cash. Then calling
for a view' of this money, he was amazed
to be shown >» lead pencil memoranda
reading, “Wiltshire, Eehert & Co., $900,-
000,” “J. W. Wiltshire $16,000,” and so on
through a long list. There was no
collateral and no security whatever.
Baldwin & Hopkins were unable to
make any explanation and Harper could
confer none. Even after this it is said an
otter to permit she hank to continue was
made if these throe were expelled and new
capital brought in; but when inquiry was
made as to how much would be required,
the answer was $1,000,000 at least. That
staggered the directors, and although they
still hoped to form an organisation, it is
most probable that a fear that further ex
amination would leveui a fui.her
deficit deterred them. The fact is that
Harper concealed from the directors his
connection with tne wheat deal. He is
said to have admitted yesterday that he
did not go into the wheat deal himself, but
that he honored an overdraft for Wiltshire
for f46,C00 and then put in the rest to save
that. He places the whole break to the
action of the Chicago board of trade,
making all wheat regular. Bank Exam
iner Powell is credited with saying “the
condition of the bank is woeful.” He
said it was singular bow Harper bad
deceived every bony about the matter. In
this connection It may be recalled that
when the wheat panic occurred in Chicago
and rumors were current of a run on Loe
Fidelity bank, Harper stated repeatedly
to parties asking for information, that he
did not know who was in the wheat d *al,
aud he went so far as to say that ho did
not believe that it was managed at all

Yesterday's Transactions In the New York Stock
Market.
New’ York, Juue 22.—The gonernl feel
ing in the stock market thi3 morning was
one of uneasiness, especially as regarded
the condition of tbe Fidelity Bank. The
bears were quick to take advantage of this
and early in the day an uttack was made
upon the Pacific Mail, the reason for
which was the apprehension of successful
opposition by the Canadian Pacific. Later
accounts from Cincinnati confirmed th
fears in regard to the Fidelity Bank and
brought about a general selling, in whicl
the entire list shared. The notable excep
tions to the general decline were Reading
and Northern Pacific. New England
also a special object of attack and recorded
the heaviest decline for tho day. Th
money market displayed a hardening
tendency, which aided in frightening out
some long stock.
The opening was heavy, but the only
tendency was upward. This soon disap
peared, however, and under the lead of
coal stocks the entire list sagged off. The
market was extremely dull outside of
Reading, which for sometime furnished
one-half of the entire business done. In
the early part of the afternoon an attack
was made on the Pacifies, and tho entin
list showed more animation at declining
figures. A sharp period of dullness and
firmness intervened, but in the last hour
the decline was renewed and the close
was weak at about tho lowest prices of
the day. Hales 233,000 shares.

king of Denmark and tho crown mince or
Austria. When Miss Oakley had finished
her shooting both the Danish king and the 1
Austrian crown prince insisted upon ex I
amining her gun and sighted
it, as if they were anxious to try
their skill. The riding and shooting were
greatly admired. The royal parly seemed
bent upon a lark. Several of the numbers
of the programme were given before the
princess of Wales arrived. She came
conducted by Major Burke and followed
by her two daughters and Prince Albert
Victor, who is at home on a visit. The
urmcess of Wales seems to **ega:d the
Wild West as the place for a lark. She
wore a light summer dress, with a dainty
small bonnet tied lightly under her chin.
When the Deadwood coach was brought
out it was the question whether she would
ride or not. Sue rode tho other day. She
decided the matter veiy quickly. She
signalled to Major Bimke, and said she
was going to try the coach again. She
climbed up on the bock seat,
of tho coach without any help,
although several rushed forward
to assist her. She coaxed her father, the
king of Denmark, to climb on to the crazy
coach by her side. Then the grave and
seve r e king of Saxony wns invited to risk
his life on the Fame wagon. This ancient
king stroked his side whiskers with calm

courage as the princess of Woles Alter

He wore a tightly buttoned g-ay frock suit.
He languidly putted h*s cigarette smoke
into the face ot the princess of
Wales, and indeed all of the royal
party followed tbe example of the p luce
of Wales and puffed cigars or cigarettes all
through tho peilbrmance. The crown
prince of Austria clambored on to the

mounted the coach by the side of old
John Nelson. Orator Richmond raised Ills
hand and away the coach dashed. The
Indians charged down upon the coach,

The cowboys came to the resue after the

around the ring. Only one item in the
programme was ommitted. No death

our house in El Paso, saying that, out of
