I ESTABLISHED 1850. | '( J. H. ESTILL Editor and Proprietor, f THE QUEEN OF HEARTS. YESTERDAY'S ECHOES OF THE JUBILEE PROCEEDINGS. Fetes for the Little Ones Emperor William Gratified to Hoar of the Great Success of the Day’s Exercises—Move ments of the Queen—Other European News of Interest. LONDON, Juno 22.—Thousands of children are marching to Hyde Park to attend the young people’s fete, that is to be held there to-day in honor of the Queen’s jubilee. The day is bright and sunny, and a refreshing breeze blowing'. THE QUEEN RECEIVES. . The Queen rose early this morning and took a drive in the garden of Buckingham Palace. Subsequently her majesty received guests, and then she visited the > Duchess of Cambridge. In the afternoon she received the homage of the foreign Princes and others, and the presents sent in commemo ration of her jubilee. A RIGHT ROYAL PRESENT. Among the presents received by the Queen was one of £75,000 subscribed by 8,000,000 women. Her majesty accepted this and graciously thanked the donors. The Queen left Buckingham Palace this evening and went to Windsor Castle. At the different stations along the route she was cheered by the enthusiastic crowds. CAPTURED BY THE CHILDREN. At the children’s fete in honor of the Queen’s jubilee held to-day in Hyde Park 30,000 little ones were present, They were arrayed on the great lawn and made a pretty picture. The Prince and Princess of Wales and their sons and daughters, accom panied by a number of their royal guests, visited the park during the fete. The chil dren at once freed themselves from re straint, broke the rope liars and rushed . pell melt toward the visitors and jacked themselves in solid groups around them. All etiquette vanished and the princes and princesses, who seemed de lighted at their position, mixed among the children with perfect freedom and pleasure. All at once the children began to sing, “God Bless the Prince of Wales.' They sang in every kej’, but their earnestness and en thusiasm made up for their lack of har mony. The visitors then made their way to the platform erected for their accommo dation. The Queen soon arrived. When it was announced that she was coming, the children massed themselves in an orderly manner along both sides of the road over which Her Majesty’s carriage passed, and moved with it toward the stand, the assembled bands playing the national anthem, which the children all sang with a grand effect. Tiie Queen reached and as cended the platform while the music was playing. At its conclusion she presented a memorial cup to the little girl who had been selected to represent all the children assem bled. When the Queen departed the whole assemblage sang “Rule Bnttania.” Sirs. Gladstone, Lord Derby and Lord Spencer were present. HONORS TO BE CONFERRED. Among tho peers to be created are Sir John St Aubyn, Liberal Unionist, Member of Parliament for St. Ivos Division of Corn wall; Henry William Eaton, Conservative, Member of Parliament for tho Coventry, and Edward Fellowes, a copious contributor to the conservation electoral fund and for merly Member of Parliament for Hunting don. Baron Londesborough will be made an earl. The Earl of Strathmore, a now Scotch representative peer, and Viscount Galway, an Irish peer, will be made Peers of the United Kingdom. Baronetcies will lie conferred upon thir teen persons including Sir Algernon Bor thuck, editor and proprietor of the London Morning Post-, Mr. Moon, Chairman of the London and Northwestern railway, and William Pearce, the shipbuilder member of Parliament for Govan.

A long list of minor decorations will also be conferred. the gazette’s derisive words. “Lord Salisbury,” says the Gazette, “has no excuse of expediency, for his creations are not even men of importance enough to be worth kicking up stairs. The omissions from this shabby list are more striking than its contents. Where is the Baronetcy which was to immortalize the proprietor of the seal of unionism, the Deify Telegraph ? Where is the peerage which was to have shed a halo of royal favor over that sole pillar of an imperilled state, identified w ith Parnell ism ana crime.” VOICE OF THE ENGLISH PRESS. The Post says: “Congratulations are due both to the Queen and the people. No sov ereign ever received more sincere testi monials of respect and affection. Never have a people testified their loyalty in a more admirable fashion.” The News says: “The pageant was worthy of the country' and °f the occasion. Flattery could not say more and truth does not allow the soberest chronicler to sav less. The Queen’s welcome was perhajH tho heartiest, as it certainly was the most mag nificent she ever received.” Tho Times snys: “Amidst the tumult of rejoicing, unequalod in the memory of this and many past generations, the jubilee .cul minated in a passion of festivity and thanksgiving. Onlj' they who have lived in and through it can realize its wondrous thrill and the glow at Westminster Abbey at the solemnized thanksgiving, and all caviling is dumb with admiring delight.” The Standard says: “Tho august eore monv passed off with a splendid success amidst, such demonstrations of a nation’s love as these islands have rarely seen. Noth ing occurred to mar the noble aftd imposing character of the whole scene. Never, within the memory of the present genera tion. has England witnessed anything half so splendid.” The Telegraph savs: “The jubilee has com# and gone in a blaze of pleasure, suc cess and happy national emotion. The good Victoria, the centre and climax of the spectacle, was greeted with such cheers of love, reverence and benedictions, as no crowned head ever before received.” All tho American papers have columns of telegrams from America and the continent reporting jubilee rejoicings. A “DISTINGUISHED" AMERICAN RELEASED. latfy Donovan, who was antis ted yester day as he was about to jump from the Clif ton suspension bridge at Bristol, was discharged to-day upon furnishing sureties that he would make no further effort to iump from the bridge. EMPEROR WILLIAM GRATIFIED. Berlin, June 22.—The Crown Prince last night telegraphed to Emperor William a long dispatch announcing the success of the -jjj jubilee festivities. The Emperor expressed himself as highly gratified. He afterward appeared at his favorite window and was warmly cheered by the citizens. The Em peror’s health is now' in its normal state. His appetite is good and he sleeps well. FRIENDLY GERMAN COMMENTS. Berlin, June 22. —The Reichsa nzeiger sa .vs: “The successes which Queen Victoria is to-day able to look back upon, with in ward satisfaction, have found loud echoes in the hearts of the whole people of the vast British empire. Every Englishman reverts w ith pride to the history of the development of the last fifty years. All civilized nations, and especially Germany, give loud expres sion to their sympathy with the Queen. The high importance attached by the Emperor to his being worthily represented at the cele bration is shown by his having sent the Crown Prince and Prince William. The German people, mindful of them relationship to the British, and of the glorious deeds effected by the two nations, and remember ing also the efforts of both peoples for the advancement of education and civilization, join with the greatest sincerity in cele brating the jubilee, and re-echo from their hearts the wish of the British people that the Queen may long be spared and continue to reign for the happiness and welfare of her subjects.” TERRIFIC EXPLOSION AT MANCHESTER. Manchester, June 22.—A terrific explo sion occurred in Robert, Dale & Co.ss chemi cal w'orks in this city to-day, which de stroyed the building. The rums took fire and the flames spread to the Pomorn Palace. The windows for miles around were smash ed by the force of the explosion. further particulars. The explosion occurred in a large retort containing pioric acid. The iron plates, of which the retort was constructed, were blown a great 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 workmen were scalded by the acid or injured by the falling debris. FAMINE IN ASIA MINOR. Constantinople, June 22.—There has been a failure of tho crops in Asia Minor, and the districts of Adana and Kutahia are threatened with a famine. An American missionary, Mr. Montgomery, says that the peojile of these districts are already in great distress. The Sultan held a Cabinet council to-day to discuss the subject, and dispatched a commissioner to institute means of relief. ANTI-BRITAIN. A Gang of Nine Men Attempt to De stroy British Symbols in Boston. Boston, June 22.—An attempt was made about 2 o'clock this morning by a gang of nine men to pull down the figures of a lion and unicorn which decorate the front of the old State House. Whoever fastened ropes to the effigies was evidently familiar with the building. The side door was forced and access to the roof w’as thus gained. When the roof is reached, the distance to the fig ures mentioned is encompassed with many dangers, but they seem to have been braved by at least two men, one of whom fastened a ro]ie to the lion, and another man a royxi to the unicorn. The basement is occupied by the Mutual District Telegraph Company, which is open all night. The marauders locked the Mutual District employes in before at tempting their work. The manager noticed the unusual sight of a number of men in the street pulling at the ropes and availed himself of a side door which the invaders did not know’ of. As soon as he made his appearance the men at tiie ropes fled. A de tail of climbing firemen was necessary to remove the lines from the figures. The ac tion was of course, it is intimated, con nected with the antagonistic feeling toward the celebration of the Queen’s jubilee in Faneuil Hall last night. BLACK CLOUDS OF WAR. Russia and France Make Known Their Ultimatum to Turkey. Constantinople, Juno 22.—M. Nelidoff and Cound de Montebello, the Russian and French Ambassadors, respectively, have addressed a note to the Porte on the subject of the Egyptian convention.

SAVANNAH, GA., THURSDAY. JUNE 23, 1887. AN ATTORNEY IN TEARS. LAWYER BRIGHT’S FEELINGS OVERCOME HIM. Tears as a Shield for Hard Questions— Pertinent Testimony of the Attorney for the Broadway Surface Road—Un raveling the Tangled Skein Sharp Beginning to Look Gloomy. New York, June 22.—1n the Sharp trial this morning, the cross-examination of ex-Alderman Waite w f as continued. While Waite was under the cross-exam ination, ex-Alderman Miller, nother of the boodlers, was led into court by Detective Schuyler to be in readiness to appear as the next witnass. A BATTLE OF WITS. Mr. Bright, counsel to the Broadway Sur face road, was recalled. He testified that the scheme of the proposed road was submitted to his firm by Messrs. Sharp and Forshay, and w’as elaborated by them. He drew the mortgage to secure the bonds. After a con sultation with his client he refused to dis close his client’s name, but said it was not Mr. Sharp. There was no attempt at con cealment on the part of their clients. Mr. Bright admitted that he prepared the report of the Railroad Committee of the Board of Aldermen on the Broadway franchise, and also the resolutions offered by the commit tee granting the franchise. The report was prepared before the committee concluded its hearing on the subject and was sent by them to Moloney by a messenger. Questioned about the Lyddy injunction, Mr. Bright said he went to Judge Bart lett’s house in Brooklyn at 9 o’clock of the night preceding the morning meeting of the Aldermen at which the franchise was granted, and obtained from him an order dissolving it, Mr. Lyddy having consented to its dissolution. The dissolution of the injunction restraining the Aldormen from any action on the matter was prepared by the witness. a lawyer’s predicament. Mr. Bright here begged he might not be forced to say anything about his conversa tion with Judge Bartlett. Ho was put in the most disagreeable position a lawyer could be placed in by the question, as it necessarily arrayed him against a Judge of the Supreme Court, He begged Mi’. Nicoll not to press for an answer, and appeared greatly affected. Mr. Nicoll said he w’as compelled to demand a reply. Mr. Bright then said that Judge Bartlett expressed the opinion that the injunction should never have been granted, and ques tioned the right of the court to enjoin a legislative body. He either hinted or men tioned about ah early meeting of the Aider men the next morning. He had a second interview with Judge Bartlett about a year ago in his chambers in Brooklyn, the wit ness having heard that District Attorney Martine had criticised his professional con duct in the matter of the bonds as well as the matter of the Lyddy injunction. He called on Mr. Martine and told him his recollection of his application to Judge Bartlett. Mr. Martino remarked that Judge Bartlett’s recollection of the details was en tirely different. MR. BRIGHT’S TEARS. At this point the witness became so affected as to be unable to speak for several minutes, and when he resumed the tears were running dowm his cheeks. He said that Judge Bartlett w:as pleased to see him, and they talked over what had occurred when the order had been asked for. Judge Bartlett said had he known of the early morning meeting, he w’ould never have signed the order, and he said he was much displeased that Mr. Bright had not told him. They parted in a friendly manner. The witness gave the order he nad obtained to AVaite, and was in the City Hall while the morning meeting was in session. When it was over ho obtained a certified copy of the resolution overriding the Mayor’s veto. MR. BRIGHT'S MEMORY REFRESHED. Mr. Bright resumed the stand after the recess and said that he was willing to con sult his books to refresh his memory. He then identified various documents relating to the Broadway road, among them the resolution prepared in his office find ing fault with the Mayor for vetoing the franchise. The court directed the wit ness to answer the question asked him earlier in the day, as to whom he met on the morn ing of the eventful Aldenrmnie meeting. The witness said he met Mr. Richmond and went with him to the City Hall where Mr. Maloney told them the franchise had been passed over the veto. In explain ing his firm’s relations with Mr. Maloney he said they only knew him as tho clerk of the Railroad Committee; nothing ever passed between them except what they thought right and proper. He visited their office openly and without any concealment. The witness knew of nc reason why his office should he designated as the headquarters of the conspiracy to bribe the Aldermen of 1884, nor why himself and Mr. Scribner should lie pronounced members of that con spiracy. Neither he nor his firm, he said, had anything to do with the call for the early morning meeting of the Aldermen. A CLERK’S RECOLLECTION. Roliert E. Dowling, a clerk in Robinson, Scribner & Bright’s office, testified that on Aug. 5, tho day of tho meeting of the railroad committee, Mr. Sharp sent him with a paper of some kind to give to Mr. Richmond for Mr. Maloney. Mr. Richmond told him to deliver it himself. Mr. Sharp had told him not to allow anyone to see him giving the paper to Mr. Richmond. BOODLE IN LARGE BILLS. Mr. Miller, who was a member of the Railroad Committee of the Bourd of Aider men of 1884, was then called and took the stand. He testified that he voted for the franchise, and Mr. Nicoll then asked him if lie received anything after the mooting from DeLaey, another the cx- Aldermen, who is now Mr. Parsons objected. Mr. said lie proposed to show by the that after voting for the franchise *.'i,oon in large hills from afterward, appris mt In;; the done wrong, he returned tlB DeLaey. The question was Miller answered: “I received $5,000 from Do Lacy,at his house,after the pnßige of the franchise, in *IOO. *SOO and SI,OOO hills.” He afterward uuuerstood that the money was paid him under some arrangement made with the Aldermen and he went to DeLaey and told him ho would give the mouey hack to him and would not keep it. “I’m glad,” the witness added, “to have this opportunity to clear myself of the stigma that ha* lieen attached to me." Mr. Miller said he did not attend the early morning meeting of the board, and knew nothing of it until he read about it In the papr That afterward he received no no tice to attend. Fatal Texas Storm. Fair Plat, Panola County, Tkx., June 22.—During the storm to-day, a tree was blown down, enisliing a house and in stantly killing Mrs. Albert Tite and her two children. Cotton Exchange Not to Close. New York, .Tune. 32. —The members of the Cotton Exchange today voted down the resolution providing for tho closing of the exchange Saturday, July 2. WAS HE REALLY KILLED? Another Fierce Fight in Rowan County —Tolliver Said to be Dead. Lexington, Ky., June 22.—Information has been received here of another battle in Rowan county, which occurred this morn ing at 11 o’clock. In this fight, Craig Tol liver, the desperado, who has lorded it over that section, was killed. It is said that a large party of men, ostensibly led by Dr. Logan, whose two sons were murdered in cold blood by the Tolliver men about two weeks ago and w’ho was in jail in this city at the time of the tragedy, had organized a hand of regulators for the pui-pose of rid ding tho county of the desperadoes. Rumors of this band being in the neighborhood of Morehead have been frequent. This morn ing at a little after 9 o’clock, the regulators, being concealed in close proximity to Morehead,’ opened fire on Tolliver and some of his gang who were on the streets. Tolliver was killed in the engagement and the fight assumed a bushwhacking charac tor, the men hiding behind the houses and trees ami shooting at any one that eoufd lie seen. The reports differ as to the number killed, one placing the number at five, In cluding Tolliver. Another stated that Craig Tolliver, two of his brothers and thirteen others had been killed. There is great con fusion in tho telegraphic reports coming in and accurate news is out of the question. FURTHER PARTICULARS. The killed include Craig Tolliver, Bud Tolliver, Jay Tolliver and Hiram Cooper. They were all shot through the heart, and died" instantly. Craig Tolliver seems to have been the general target, as he was so thoroughly riddled as to lie scarcely recognizable. Cate Tolliver, a 12- year-old boy. and three others, all of whom were captured except Cate Tolliver, w’ho crawled into the brush and escaped, were wounded. Three others escaped but were raptured afterward. The attacking party was a strong one. The Sheriff and posse have left for there. REPORT CORROBORATED. Louisville, June 22.—Gov, AVindman, acting Governor in the absence of Gov. Proctor Knott, has received the following telegram from Lexington: “Fighting all the morning at Morehead. Craig, Budd and Jay Tolliver are already killed. Don’t know how many more. The town is full of armed men, but think the worst Is over.” WARLIKE “MISSIONARIES.” Danger Apprehended to King “Calico” by the Rival Sugar Interests. Chicago, Juno 22.—A special from San Francisco says: The indications are grow ing plainer that the rivalry of the Ameri can capitalists who desire the sugar trade of the Saudwieh Islands is likely to plunge tho kingdom of Kalakau in a civil war. Clear ance pajiers at the San Francisco custom house show that the steamer Australia, which sailed yesterday for Honolulu, carried a large quantity of arms and ammunition. This is considered as very significant,-when taken into consideration with the revolu tionary feeling that is said to exist in the Hawaiin Islands. MISSIONARY EQUIPMLXTS, AS USUAL. The shipments included eighty cases in whicli were nearly 1,000 Winchester repeat ing rifles and 104,000 cartridges. The arti cles were consigned to old missionary mer chants. It is among this element of tho population that the most revolutionary feelings exist. Large shipments of arms and ammunition also have been made to Honolulu by sailing vessels. WILMINGTON’S STORM. The Uprooting of a Huge Oak Causes Three Deaths—A Baby’s Escape. AViljungton, Del., June 22.—A violent storm of wind and rain broke over the city shortly after noon to-day, doing great damage. Just beyond the city limits a big oak tree was uprooted and fell on a double frame dwelling, crushing in the roof and killing three of the occupants—Mrs. James Noble, Mrs. George Doran and Mrs. Doran’s little boy.

Cincinnati’s Wreeled Bank—President, Cashier and Assistant Under Arrest- Collateral for Loans Represented by Pencil Memoranda. Cincinnati, June 22.—As the examina tion of the Fidelity National Bank pro ceeds the enormous deficit is increased. It is now the common talk on the streets that the liabilities of the bank will reach the stupendous sum of $8,000,000, while tho assets dwindle in proportion. It seems a foregone conclusion that the depositors will get next to nothing. This is the general talk, but of course it is unofficial and can not bo verified until the bank examiner completes his work and makes his report. It is stated to-day that, tho memorandum which is a substitute lor the collaterals, shows that Joseph Wiltshire used $1,100,000 of the hank’s money, and that collaterals for the other loans were hypothecated in New York and elsewhere. It is the belief of some that Wiltshire acted as the agent of Harper in conducting the wheat deal and was not really a borrower, Vice President Harper, ('ashler Baldwin and Assistant Cashier Hop kins are under arrest on warrants sworn out by Bank Examiner Powell. Harper’s bail is fixed at $75,009 and the others at SIO,OOO each. MILLIONS SHORT. The morning pajiers this morning are full of the matter connected in various wavs w’itli the Fidelity National Bank's closing. Among other things, it is stated that bank examiner Powell, on Monday af ternoon, demanded a statement from the 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 a lead pencil memoranda reading “Wiltshire, Eckert & Cos. $900,000,” “J. W. Wiltshire $4(5,000," and so on through a long list. There was no collateral and no se curity whatever. Baldwin A Hopkins were unable to make any explanation and Harper could offer none even after this. It is said the offer to permit the bank to continue was made, if these three men were expelled and new capital brought in. But. when inquiry was made as to how much would be re quired, the answer was $1,000,000 at. least. That staggered the directors and although they still hope to form a reorganization, it is most probable that the fear that a further examination would reveal a further deficit, deterred them. HARPER’S WORK ENTIRELY. The fact is that Harper concealed from the directors his connection with the wheat deal. He is said to have admitted yester day that he did not go into the wheat deal himself, hut that he honored an overdraft for Joe Wiltshire for $4(5,000 and then put in the rest to save that. He charges the whole break to the action of the Chicago Board of Trade making all wheat regular. Bank Examiner Powell is credited with saying that the condition of the linnk is woeful. Ho said it was singular how Har per laid deceived everybody about the matter. In this , connection it may tie recalled that when the wheat panic occurred iu Chicago, and the rumors were current of a run on the Fidelity Bank, Harper stated rejieatedly to the parties asking for informa tion, that he did not know who was in the wheat deal, and he went so far as to say that he did not believe that it was managed at all in Cincinnati, but was conducted from California and Cleveland. More attachments on Harper’s property have been made, and everything lie has is now tied up. OTHER ENTANGLEMENTS COMING IN. A publication was made here to-day that Swift & Lyman, the attorneys for the Ex change National Bank, of Chicago, were here to push a chijiu of $7.50,000 against the Fidelity. The truth is that the amount was $108,(107. Lost Saturday Mr. Swift pre sented a certificate of deposit anil demanded the money. He was told that, the American Exchange did not have that sum to its credit. He then demanded the balance, whatever it might be, and was told that pay ment had been stopped. In view of the ap parent negligence of President Briggs, Mr, Swift and the other directors, there is strong talk of causing their arrest, although it would be hard to find even a suffering creditor in Cincinnati to demand it. SHORT AND QUICK WORK. One who knows, hut who declines to give his name, says that ten days ago he, with President Swift, went ovr- and called the loan account, and found it all right. He says lie is certain that Mr. Har(ier had done all this crooked work within the past ten days or two weeks, and it could not well lie known. He does not think there is any re flection on President Swift. While there is no effect upon the other banks from this failure, there is a marked restriction of business. Business men stand apjialled us the glaring features of this great fraud are revealed. SERIOUS CHARGES MADE. Bank Examiner Powell has been exceed ingly busy all day, in the attempt to get some knowledge of tho condition of the Fidelity Bank. The Receiver has not yet undertaken the responsibility of his office. Mr. Powell to-day made discoveries which justified him, under advice of District At torney Burnet and Assistant Bruce, to cause tho arrest the second time of Harper, Bald win and Hopkins. This is anew feature of the case, as it consists of the charge of a conspiracy to defraud, by issuing on June 14 thrre draft* of *109,- 000 each in favor of Wiltshire. Eckert & Cos. upon the Chemical National Bank of New York, signed by B. E. Hopkins, assistant cashier. The charge is a conspiracy to com mit un offense against the laws of tho United States by unlawfully and wilfully misapply ing the funds and credit* of the banking in stitution, in pursuance of which purjxise they issued these draft*. FALSE REPORTS RENDERED. Another affidavit charges the same per sons with “ainriK|iiracy to commit an offense against the United States laws by issuing on May 18 last, and causing to lx- transmit ted to the Comptroller of trio Currency, a false and fraudulent report of the said Fidelity National Bank, at the close of busi ness, May 13, 1887, in this, that the said liarik did not have in its possession, us stated in said rojxirt $030,(S)0 in legal tender notes and #220,310 111 silver certificates, they knowing tliese amount* were not there and making the statement in pursuit of their conspiracy to deceive certain officers of said national baud and the agent appointed to examine the affairs of said bank." The rre*t was made upon these affidavits, which were sworn to by Mr. Powell late this afternoon. The prisoners were taken togethe- belora United Utah* Commissioner Hooper, where they waived examination, and were bouinl over to appear at the October term of court. Mr. Harjier gave Isolds in the sum of #15,000 and the other two in *5,000 each. Mr. Hopkisa seemed much dejected, and said that * to the last charge he knew nothing at all about the making of the re|xirt, as it did not come under his share of the work. Mr. Baldwin is npjiar eiitly much ft'juried, He is naturally re served, and nr ne hr.* bad liefvire serious afflictions, one the murder of hi* son aid another the suicide of n brother, it has been suggested that there was danger that tins blow would unsettlo his mind. YELLOW FEVER IN CHECK. Gen. Hamilton’s Hopeful Views -New Revenue Districts Ready for Work. Washington, June 22. —Surgeon General Hamilton, who has just returned to Wash ington from a visit to Chicago, expresses the belief that all proper steps have been taken to check the yellow fever epidemic at Key West, and that the further spread has been well guarded against. INTERNAL REVENUE MATTERS.
