FIRE IN NEW YORK.
Strauss’s Wood-Working Establishment
Burned Oat-Loss Ueavy.
New Yobk, June 23 —The large cignr box
bimon Strauss, at Nos. 179, 181
ana loo Leach street, was almost entirely
destroyed by fire this morning. The fire
£!£?•£&? to two 8ma11 factories, 820 and
8-2 Fifth street, which were badly gutted,
fhe tire originated from au unknown cause
and was discovered firjfc by a policeman.
The firo spread rapidly among the inflam
mable goods and a second and third alarm
were sent in. The buildings were six sto
ries high with a frontage of seventy-five
feet and a depth of one hundred feet The
owner, Simon Strauss, oooupied the entire
struoture except the third floor in a portion
of 179. The other ocoupant was Wm. H
Ooflio, shoe manufacturer. Strauss manu-
fsotures oigar boxes, wooden figures, eto.
Firemen Carroll and MoCarthy had narrow
escapes from instant death. At 2:31 o’clock
in the morniup, without warning, a wall on
Lewis street toppled over into the street
The firemen were on a tower in charge of a
stream at the moment of the coiiapse.
Clouds of smoke and debriB
filled the air. Nothing could be
seen of the men. It was thought
they were surely killed, hut they were
found to be all right. They had seen the
shaking wall and jumped for their lives
The water tower on which the men stood
was wrecked by the debris. The truck was
completely ruined. The total loss will as-
gregato abont $160,000. Tho Strauss fao-
tory building was valued at $76,000. The
less on the building itself will be abont
$65,000. Str uss estimated his loss on
stock and machinery at a like amount. Tho
loss on Wm. H. Coffin’s stock of hoes was
$20,000. The buildings at 820 and 822
Fifth street, occupied by W. H. Rowland,
shipjoiuer, were damaged about $6,000 and
stock $2,000. James It, Young, dealer in
baby carriages, 818 Fifth street, loses $1.-
600 on his stock. Julius Gotlieb, 807 Filth
street, SI,000. The loss is mostly covered
by insuranoe, The fire throws 150 persons

THE TRIAL OF SHARP.
The Introduction of tho Defendant’s Own
Testimony Htrnngly Objected to.
INew Yobe, June 23 —Jacob Sharp ap
peared in court this morniDg with his
grandchildren at his side. Mr. Foote, an
offloer of the First National Bank, testified
that in January, 1886, he sold to Alderman
Farley, ono of the combine, ton thousand
dollars in registered United States 4 per
cent, bonds, for whioh Farley paid in large
bills to tho amount of over $12,000, includ
ing the premium. Farley drew tho money
frem hia vest pocket
A number of witnesses were put on the
stand to prove that the aldermen como into
the possession of thousand-dollar bills soon
after the passage of tho Broadway bill. The
pi ■ s’ cut. j u "uentriedto have the testimony
of Sharp before tho Senato investigating
committee read, bat the defense objeoted

Washington 8peclsl to OourtofJournal.
The New York Sun prints the following
from its Washington correspondent:
‘■Col. William Crowninshleld Endicatt,
nominal secretary of war, reported for duty
this morning. Major Lee, the youthful cus
todian of the Secretary's person, mounted
S uard as usual over the approaches to the
apartment, and kept at bay aucb persona
os attempted to intrude upon his ptivacy
with matters of public business. Alter a
period of seclusion, the Secretary emerged
trom hia apartment and drove over to the
White Houge. He walked up the stairs with
great dignity, oartyieg a big handle of
papers, nnd tbe rural visitors who were so
fortunate as to oatch a glimpse of tho gre-t
man of ancient lineage were much im
pressed by the sight. Tbiy at once sur
mised that a great affair of xtate was about
to bo iliacussed ' In grand council. Tht ir
amazement was unspeakable when, in abont
one minute, they saw the Secretary turn
about aud eotne straight down stain again,
bundle and ail. There was a frown on his
brow sod dej.ction in hi. air. Be bad barn
informed, an report eajs, that the President
was engaged—the old, utd story that is told
to office-seekers and other unwelcome eh.:-
ton often, bat to cabinet officer a cover.
Mr. Endicutt got into has carriage and went
straight to hw home on Sixteenth street,
without returning to the department.'’
There are many rumors afiost about the
aitnatiMi. One is that the President is ao
vexed at his Secretary of War that be dors
not want lo ace him. Another is that be
actually intends to fseezs Mr. Endioott out,
nnd a third report has it that Mr. Endicott's
resignation has already been requested.
Nans of these repot hi can be traced to any
authoritative source, bat the prediction is
freely made that Mr. Endicott will be cut of
the cabinet within thirty days He would
have been out six months ago were it not
for hia oonatitmlional inability to take a
hint Tbe rebel dag business calls loudly
for a vicarious sacrifice, and Endicutt might
as well pack his tranks and have the quar
termaster's wsgin in readiness to cart them
Off.
Cincinnati, Jnns 21.—As the examina
tion of the Fidelity National Bank prooeeda
the cavernous deficit increases. It is now
common talk cn the sheets that the liabhi-
tiea of the bank will reaoh the stupendous
aam of bIx millions, while the assets dwin
dle in proportion It seems a foregone con
clusion that the dspcsi.ots will ;ct nothing.
This U general talk, but of course it is un
official and cannot be verified until the
bank examiner completes his work and
mukes his report. It is stated
to-day that a mi morandum which is a sub-
aiitnte for oolla'eral shows that Wiltshire
use: $1.1X0.000 of the bank’s money and
that oolla'trala for other loans were hy
pothecated in New York and elsewhere. It
is the belief of some that Wiltshire acted os
the agent cf Harper in conducting tho
wheat deal nnd was not really the borrower.
Vice-President Harper, Cashier Baldwin,
aud Assistant Oaabier Hopkins are under
arrest on warrants sworn out by the baDk
examiner. Harper's bail is fixed at $75,000,
and the others at $10,000 each.
The moroing papers this morniDg are fnll
of mat'er connected in various ways with
the Fidelity National Bank's closing. Among
other things is a statement that Bank Ex
aminer Powell on Monday afternoon de
manded a statement from the bank and re
ceived one showing a balance on hand of
$1,100,100 cf cash, Thescaiuiig for » view
of thiB money he was amazed to be shown
a lead pencil memorandum reading: “Wilt
shire, Eckert* Co., $900,000; J.W. Wilt
shire, $16.000,.’’ aud su on through a long
list. There was no collateral; no security
whatever. Baldwin and Huphins wore un
able to make any explanation, and Harpt r
could offer none. Even alter this, it is said
the offer tc permit the bank to continue
was made it theae three were expelled
and new capital brought in. But
when inquiry was made os to how
mnoh would be required tbe answer was n
million dollars at least. That staggered the
directors, aud although they still hoped to
form an organization it is most probable
that the fear that further exatoliiuliuu would
reveal a fuither deficit deterred them. The
fact is that Harper ceho-aled from the di
rectors his connection with tho wheat deal.
He is said to have admitted yesterday that
he did not go into tin wheat deal him«elf,
but that he honored an overdraft for Wilt
shire for $46.00(1 nnd then pnt ln tho rest to
save that. He places the whole break to
the action of the Chicago Board of Trade
making all whi at regular.
Bank Examiner Powtll ia credited with
saying the condition of the bank is woeful
He snid it was singular haw Harper had de
ceived everybody about the matter. In this
connection it maybe recalled that when tho
panie occurred in Chicago, and rumors were
current of s ran on the Fidelity Bank,
Harper stated repeatedly to parties asking
tor information that ha did not know who
was in tbe wheat deal, and wont ao far as to
say ho did not believe it was managed at all
iu Cincinnati, but was conducted from
California and Cleveland. Moro attach
ments on Harper’s property have been made,
and ev- ry thing he has is now lied np.
l’l.iili:. tif>n was nut 1 ., h' r» th..t Swift A
Lyman, attorneys for the Exchange National
Bank of Chicago, wote here to puBh a claim
of $760,OJO against the Fidelity. The trntb
is that tbe amount was $198,667. Last Sat
urday Mr. Swift presented a certificate of
deposit, and demanded the money. He was
told tho American Exobanga did not have
that sum to its credit. He then demanded
tbebalanoe, whatever it might bo, and was
told that payment bad been stopped. In
view of the apparent negligence of Fretidont
Briggs, Swift and the directors, there is
talk of covering their asaets. One who
knows but declines to give his name, save
that ten day* ago he, with President Swift,
went over tho called loan aceonnts and
found them all right. He sa s he Is confi
dent that Harper bad done all this crooked
work within the past ten d«ys or two weeks,
and it could not well be known. lie does
not think there Is any reflection on Preai-
uCZ? "b'.lc ‘.-ere Is no effect upon
tho bauka from this failure, there is a
marked restriction of business. Bnsineqs
men stand appalled'na the glaring features of
this great fraud are revealed.
TUX Disc's OFFICXB8 AGAIN ABBISTXD.
Bank Examiner Powell has been exceed
ingly busy all day in an attempt to get
knowledge of the condition f the Fidelity
Bank. The receiver has cot yet undertaken
the responsibility of his office. Mr. Powell
to-day made diaooveriee which jnstiHed him,
under tbe advice of District Attornoy Bar
nett aud Assistant Brace, to oanse the
arrest, far the second time, of Harper, Hop
kins and Baldwin. This is a new
featnre cf tbe esae, as it consists of
the charge of conspiracy to defraud by iaau-
ing on June 14th three drafts of $100,000
each in favor of Wiltshire, Eckert A Go,
upon Iho Chemical National Bank of New
Yoik, signed by B E Hopkins, assistant
cashier. The charge is oonspirtcy to com
mit an offense against the lawe of the Uni
ted States by unlawfully nnd wilfnlly mis-
appljing the funds and credits cf a banking
institution, iu pursuance of whioh purpose
they issued these diaftB. Another affidavit
charges the Sima persona with conspiraoy to
commit an rffenie against tbe United Btatea
laws by leaning, on May 13 last, and causing
to be transmitted to the Comptroller of the
flarraney, » !»>e» and frasduient r„pc;t t,t

said bock old not have in Us posiee-
ston, as stated in said report. $630-
OOOin legal tender notes, and (225,210 in
silver certificates. They, knowing these
amounts were not there, end making the
statement in pannsnse of a conspiracy to
deeeive certain officers of said Notional
honk, and the egent appointed to exomine
the affairs of said bank."
Tbe arrest was made upon these affi-
davits, which we*e sworn to by Mr Powell

Good Cotton In tbe Caaeasus.
Odens DUgetob to Uw London Dally News.
I learn tram a member of the Imperial
Caucasian Agricultural Hociety that the ex-
perium-ts iu cotton culture in three diff.-r-
eat districts on the Coocssus have thus fir
given promise of enooese. American, Egyp
tian, and home-grown plants appear to be
alike favored by the soil and climate. The
society hoe recently dispatched two of its
meet expert members to the United States,
where they will scientifically sindy the
AmerioAa »YiUin of cotton caliure. A
company ia Ling floated which *iU estab
lish the first extensive plantations in the
oriffhborhood of Etivao* Tft«w U here It*'
president and direotora can bo assessed to
the extent of their resources, it will pro
duce about $1,81)9,000, nt a rough estimate.
There have been no further arrests and no
new deveolpmenta. It will nocia nrily re
quire much time and labor to make a thor
ough examination.
Hon. W. L. Trenholm, comDtroller of
tbe treasury, who arrived this morning,
aays that there is not 6nch an omniscience
io government supervision as can always
avert n catastrophe like that of the Fidelity
Bank, and be suggests that it ia hardly fair
to expect one man to know moro about tbe
affairs of the 3,000 bunks in the country
than is known sometimes by tbe officers of
tho banks themselves. The examination of
Ibis bank in January showed everything In
proper condition.
Air. Trenholm was particniarin hisstate-
mont that the agent had no power to ap
point a receiver, and in this ease there had
been no suoh appointment; ncilher could
any sot of liquidation be aone nntil a re
ceiver was appointed by the Comp
troller of me Currency and had
given bond. Mr. Decamp had never
been appointed receiver. Ho hail
been recommended, bat Mr. Trenholm said
it was hia jndgmentin this oaae the receiver
should not bo a resident of Cincinnati. He
will probably appoint one from some por
tion of the Stats of Ohio, however.
Id regard to the condition of the baDk,
Mr. Trenholm says be has not yet exam
ined a paper nor heard a report, and cam
say nothing; and he saya no statement of
the assets aud liabilities can be made until
after tho receiver has had time to reoeivo
aud examine tbe olaims and to ascertain tho
asse'a. He added that the Comptroller of
the Currency had no oontrol over criminal
proocediDgs that belongs to the law depart
ment of the government to which the bank
examiner was hound to submit such evi
dence hi he foil tut ieluiiug to criminal nets.
Referring to his action in thiB case, Mr.
Trenholm s lid suspicions wero aroused in
April lost, when he discovered from reports
In his offioe that tho Fidelity hank had the
“reserve" accounts of eighty oouutry
banks, and that' its indebtedness
to other banks was very largo. This course
of business was dangerous in panicky
times, as such hanks wonld then all draw
at onee. He said there had never been an
anthori/utinn of increase of the capita!
stock, thungh it wonld have been done if
application bad been made.
The moat sensational feature of the day
was tbe surrender late this afternoon of E.
L. Harper and B E. Hopkins by their
■uieuae, George B. Kerper, W, K. Woods
SDd Engene Zimmerman. In order to ef
fect this Harper and Hopkins had to be
brought before United States commission
ers. Harper was found in tbe bank, bnt
Hopkins was taken from the midst of hia
family. Deputy Hagen, who per
formed this duty, says it was
a trying one. This action
vitiated tho bonds and released all tho
bondsmen. Tho i ffort to get new bonds-
men revealed the startling fact that the maD
who a few days ago was accounted a mill
ionaire had boon deserted by his friends.
No bondsmen have heen fonnd up to
this hour (10:45 p. m.), and at midnight
if help does not oome the vice-president
and assistant cashier will go to jail. Aside
from the intense feeling against the wick
edneaa of this transaction, which ia grow
ing os instances of personal losa
and snffering come to light,
there is another reason for frightening tbe
bondsmen. Eugene Zimmerman, who has
been regarde t aa Uarper’a special friend, and
who was made hia assignee, has resigned
that trust and the resignation has been ac
cepted. Jndgo Gubel will take counsel
with the creditors before appointing his
•accessor. It wns said that Zimmerman
found tho in-sets to lie not tu-.ru than
OHO, where thoy bad been rated at nearly a
million.
Another sensational feature of to-day'
doioga was the arrest of J. F.
Wiltshire, the broker whD took
checks of tbe Fidelity Bank to
Ohio go to try to bold np the market. He
was charged with aiding and abetting in
wilfal and nnlawfnl misapplication of tho
fnods of the bank. He readily gave bond
in $35,000, with J. Wayne Neff, A. 8. Wins
low, and George Hater as securities.
COLUMBUS BACKS AFFECTED.
A special from Golnmbns, O., says: Tho
Fidelity National Bank, of Cincinnati, was
correspondent for a majority of tbe bank?
in Co’ambua, and nearly all of these will
be losers, HCt in largo amounts.
Tbe sums extend all tho way ftom $60 to
$16,000. Bankers here refuse to talk about
tho failure ao far as it relates
to themselves, and say they
able to take care of themaelvrs.
and express the belief that Colour bus would
have hardly been down in that eonneetion
except for the hasty action of Brooks, Bat
ler 4 Oo. in getting ont an attachment to
secure themselves in a $60,000 claim. Other
hankers insist that the attaohment is of no
aooonnt, os the wreak had already poised
into the Lands of the government and was
beyond s civil action.
a CHICAOO BACK CB1FFHD.
Cnrcaoo, Jane 23.—The clearing-house
committee held a meeting last evening, and
made a close <xamtnatian of tho American
Exchange National Bank's all ira, Tbe
bank presidents are also aaid to have met,
and, after lookiog over the bank’s state
ment, were satisfied that it was solv
ent, and decided to render it
any assistance that it might
need. The bank paid iu clearing house
balance this morning and was able lo at
tend to all its business as nsasl. The
bank's losses by the closing of the Cincin
nati Fidelity is stated on good authority at
$298,000, its claims against the Fidelity
being regarded as next to worth
ies. The hank's surplus is $30,000,
and the directors have decided to make a
special asssaament on its stockholders to
make up the $260,000. This will place it
ou a sound footing and make it able to
guard against all emergencies.
CRAIG TOLLIVER KILLED.
Tho Kentucky Dcsperntlo Dills Iu n lllomly
Fight—Mengro Report*,
Lf.xixoton, Juno 22.—Information
been received by tho Transcript of another
battle in Rowan county, which was if c-ivod
this morning at 9 o’clock. In this fight
Tolliver, the desperado who haa terrorized
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 Tolliver men about two
weeks ago, and who was in jail in this city
at the time of tho tragedy. The authorities
had organized a band o! regulators for tho
purpose of snppresting the desperadoes.
Humors of thin band being in the neighbor
hood of Morehead have been frequent.
This morning at a little after 9 o’clock,
tho regulators being oonceiled
close proximity to Morehead,
opened firo on Tolliver and some of his
gang, who wero on tho otree’s. Tolliver
was killed in tbe engagement, and tho fight
assumed a bushwhacking character, men
biding behind bouses and trees and shoot-*
ing at any ono that could bo seen. Reports
differ,as to the number killed, ono pl.vcing
the number at five, including Tolliver.
Another stated that Craig Tolliver, two of
bis brothers and thirteen others had been
killed. There is great confusion in tbe tel*
egraphio reports coming, and accurate nows
is out of the question,
add Morehead.
The killed include Craig Tolliver, Bud
Tolliver, Jay Tolliver nnd Hiram Cooper.
They were all shot through the heart and
died instantly. Craig Tolliver seems to
have been a general target, ns he was so
thoroughly riddled ns to bo Boarcely recog
nizable. Cate Tolliver, a twelvo*year old
boy, and vhreo others, all of whom were
captured, except Cate Tolliver who crawled
into tbe brush aud escaped, were wounded
Three others escaped, but one was captured
afterwards. The attacking party was a
strong sheriff’s posse.
Lons villi, Juno 22.—Lieutenant-Gov-
ernor Windmau, acting Governor in the
absence of Governor Proctor Knott, has re
ceived the following telegram from Lexing
ton:
"Fighting all the morning at Morehead.
Craig, Budd and Joe Tolliver are already
killed. Don’t know h.>w many more. The
town is fall of armed men. Think tho
worst is over.”
Louisville, Juno 23 —A special from tho
Courier Journal’s correspondent who left
last night for Rowan county, corroborates
the story of tho killing of the three Tolli
vers and Ilarvoy Cooper. Sheiiff Cooke's
posse had warrants for the arrests of
the men, and they were supplied
with arms and ammunition by Governor
Knott Force was only resorted to when
the desperadoes had reiused to submit to
arrest Bud and Jay Tolliver were counins^i
not brothers of Craig Tolliver. Andy Tol
liver, another of Cridg’s cousins, escaped.
He was slightly wounded.

Chicago, June 21—A special from Han

plainer that the rivalry of American capital
ists who desire to oontrol the sugar trado of
the Sandwich Islands is likely to plongo the
kingdom of Kalakana into civil war. Clear

which sailed yeaterdry for Honolulu, earned
a large quantity of arms and ammnnltion.
This ia considered aa very significant, when
taken in connection with tbe revolutionary

cial from Danville, 111., saya: Tho following
letter was received to-day:
Bkauvoib. Miss., Juno 20.—Col, lhi-
coin Howard, Danville, Illinois—Dear Sir:
In answer to your letter of request by tho j
Danville Farmers' ond Mechanics’ Institute
that I should deliver an address at -
its fair, I reply as I did last
year. Some yean ago I delivered an ad
dress at tho Winnebago county fair and was
received with gro-ri courtesy. There I w,.s
among friends,for my memory went back to
the months of June, July and August 1832;
when, as n lieutenant upon the staff
of Cnlontl Zaebariah Taylor, I
was stationed at Prairie dn Chien, or Fort
Crawford, aa it was then known, nnd dnring
the memorable endjiiatorio llluck Hawk war
it was my good fortune to help ln protecting
the pioneer settlers of that country, whoso
deacendenta I spoko to at Rockford. 1
cannot como to Illinois Ihia
year. Thanking the association, through
you, I have only to say aa I Said last Sep
tember in an open letter ta Col. J. T.
8charr, of Bvltimoro, that I deny Iho
charges made againKt me by Gen. William
T. Sherman, in which ho says I was fore
most ln encouraging tho lata war. I
Fny to you, my dear Colonel,
that I did all in my powex to
prevent tho late war, and that I
never lo' kod for nor aapired to the poet of
chief or exeentivoof the Confederate States.
"I may Bay that tho order of tho War
Department to return tho captnrned digs
to tbe late Confederate Ht lies was a viola
tion of all known military precedents.
You will find in my history of
tho lato war that there wore
hat twenty-six regiments of tegular troop.
In the army of tho North, aud of tho total
of 660 Confederate fl igs captured, It ia
questionable if theae twenty-six rogiment»
captured fifty. The ll iga were captured by
tho volunteer army of thoNortk and belong
to tho several States, anil have no right t»
be in the national capital. Respectfully
yours, Jeffzbson Davis."

Tbo Bouth has not asked for tho return
of her captured battle flags. Let that fact
he remembered lastingly to her credit. If
the Legislatures of her Hcveral States bail

the performance of that act of conrteay,
their petitions might have been oons’rneil

rankling memories of defeat This view of
the cn-u might have boon unjust, hut would
surely havo been eutertatnod by tho Grand

has suggested tho issning of that order for
tho restoration of battlo flags, which him
h,-hi so promptly nnd wisely followed by
its cancellation. Tho metoorlte which was
reported to have fallen in a Woslern Rtato
some days ago did not oanse moro astonish
ment among tho farmers of tho vicinage
than tho promulgation of this order among
thoao Southerners who are living wholly iu
tho prosont and trying very hard to forget
tho past. Thoy are too much preoccupied
with tbeir promising crops, their mine
openings, their new foundries and facto
ries, their real estate speculations,
to tako any interest In rentimentsl ques
tions. They havo as little time for senti
ment aa for sectionalism. Badness is the
consuming passion of tbe 8outU just now.
She loaves the North to excite herself over
the disposition of rolics of a bygono age,
while abe concentrates all her own interest;
and energloa on prnctioal nnd living issins.
Wo can not Btato this fact too emphati
cally, for tho tana of some of our Northern
contemporaries allows that thoy do not yet
approciato tho peaceful, paisivo and con
tented feelings of tho Houth in relation to
union and brotherhood. They hav seized
upon this “battlo flag incident," aa tho sen
sation of an hoar ia odied for want of a
better name, to say things about the South
which were perhapB trim enough at tho
close of tho civil war, and before time bait
begun to do Its healing work, hut which
are wholly inapplicable now.
That men must be nnwilling to look

South la to-day aa troly a part of the Union,
ono and inseparable, not only go graphic
ally and poH.icalty, but in the hearts aud
minds of her people, aa the North or the
West. If an intelligent, impartial judge
should oarefully study tbe ten :enotsa of

tokens since 1870, ho wonld look for the
next movement of dissatisfaction And re

ln our day, attempt to shape the policy ct
tbo Federal government. Tho period of
her ascendancy ha* passed. Henceforth
she will co-operate leu ambitiously anil

of tho republic.
But it 14 now probable that the mighty

more intense. If there U any danger of
disintegration it may be looked for in that
