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.

O'd Man L'mllcott In Coventry. 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 ■aid Fidelity National Bank at tho elate of baainesa May 13, 1887.

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 lata this afternoon.

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. i LETTER FROM MR. DAVIS. HE DECLINES AN INVITATION TO SPEAK IN ILLINOIS.

A Revolution rrolmblo In tho Kingdom of Kalakaun. Chicago, June 21—A special from Han Francisco soys: Tbe indications are growing 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.

June 23.—An Intrr Ocean spe 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." A Sensible South.

Wo eiiu certity that not one of ihoio 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 troth ln the faco who cannot seo that tho 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.
