Cincinnati, Juno 24.—Comptroller of the Currency Trenhoim arrived here from Washington and has taken personal charge of the investigation of the affairs ot the Fidelity National bank. Tho comptroller of the currency has stirred up excitement at the Fidelity building. Some grossly fraudulent transaction was discovered, more outragoous than anything previously found, which warranted placing E. L. Harper under surveillance, and in consequence over since he has been held a prisoner in the safe deposit vault. The guard at the top of the stairway is under orders not to permit him to como out. His lunch was brought to him, which be ate down stairs. About 2:15 Marshal Urner, accompanied by CommissiC :ar Hooper, entered tho bank and proceeded to the private office, where they consulted with the comptroller for a few minutes and came out, and soon after arrested J. W. Wilshire and brought him in. Wilsbire is not communicative and is very much cast down. He disclaims any knowledge of the financial condition at the Fidelity. It is learned that Wilshire had under his control railroad and other securities amounting to over $1,000,000, and the owners were anxious in regard to them. Wilshire Arrested.

WiwdtemiRBE, Fa, June at—Another awful mimaocidsat occurred at Nanticoko yesterday. Three men ware killed instantly, another has since died, a fifth is at death's door and the sixth is likely to die. The entire town is excited because of the disaster. Since the fatal 18th of Deoember, 188.% when twenty-six men and boys were imprisoned by a cave and wboee bodies still lie moldering in the "Arsenal chamber," no serious accident occurred in Nantiooke until this one, and though tbe death rate is less the excitement is fully as great as on the memorable occasion two and a half years ago. The accident was caused by an explosion of gas, in what rainnmr no one will in all probability ever know. At 8 o'clock the night before six men were engaged in the mine, aad in the morning all were brought out by their comrades, three dead, and the other three so badly injured that their lives wet* despaired of. The names of thoso who wars instantly killed are John MoMsdamin, aged 40, leaves a wife and three small children, resided on Green street; Jamss Keleey, aged 24, single, also a resident of Green street; Lotsy Vinoski, a laborer working for Keeley, aged 28 and unmarried. The injured were Joseph Lesseps, a driver boy, age 18; Barney Lesekoski, a door tender, age 7; John Lesekoski, age 19, a door tender. Another man, Norman Thomas, was also badly burned, but will recover. The probabilities are that all the injured, with tho exception of Thomas, will die. One of them, Joseph Lesseps, died at noon. The others are uncooscious and are liable to die at any moment. It is impossible to tell just how the accident occurred. The men wore during the night driving a gangway in No. 4 slope. At a few minutes before 8 o'clock they rested and sat tm the tool chcst for the purpose of partaking of a lunch. The fire boss, John Williams, passed through a few minutes previously and reported everything all right At 8 o'clock Joe Lesseps, tbe driver boy, pass nil by with a car and a mule. The explosion followed immediately. All the men who were on tho tool chest were killed instantly. The driver boy was stunned and the mule which he was driving was killed. The boy fell under the car, in which position ha was found an hour later. He died at noon as stated. m ■ London, June 24.—The cohesion of France and Russia iu opposing the ratification of England's treaty with Turkey regarding the future administration of Egyptian affairs is rapidly assuming a menacing aspect and the cabinet is much perturbed thereat. As far as the public nra aware, the situation in respect of Russia and France's opposition, England's obstinate adherence to her original position and Turkey's wavering botweeu signing tho convention deferring to Russia's protests has no change; but the hurriedly summoned cabinet meeting of yeaterduy, at which -wuft many ministers who had foregone engagements entered into weeks ago in order to attend, implies that the government is in receipt of information of a grave character. Surely, nothing that Turkey could do or refuse to do would cause such manifest haste and snxlety in assembling the grave ministers of state, even bad the question not been postponed, as far as England and Turkey are concerned, until after tho feast of Bairam, which begins to-day, and the public will not remain satisfied that tbe pressing necessity for the council did not arise from the government's conviction that war between Russia and France on the one sido, and Turkey and inevitably England on the other, is made imminent by very recent and decisive action on the part of tho former allied powers. Syracuse, N. Y., June 24.—The Denison alleged perjury case was agitating the town yesterday, and affidavits, charges and counter charges are flying as thick ps Juru Carney's blows on Hitchell, or as the leaves in the alleged Vallabromsa. Howard G. White, who lives in the costliest stone palace in this part of the state, and is Mr. Denison's next door neighbor, came to Mr. Denison's defense in his paper, The Standard, yesterday morning. The Standard calls tho publication of the grand jurymen's affidavit* an "attaok," a "slander," and thinks that it was prompted by spite or enmity. This has had the effect of 9 larger ventilation of Mr. Denison's testimony before the grand jury, and of some interesting revelations of bow the affidavits came to be made. After the last March grand jnry indicted Salt Superintendent Brumelkamp and Mark Hutchinson for perjury, a motion was made before Justice Kennedy to quash the indictment For Lucius & Denison, according to the statement of a grand juryman, had repudiated the testimony that he was reported to have given before that body. To prevent the Indictment being quashed the district attorney had the foreman and a member of the grand jury makenan affidavit as to what Denison had testified to before that body.. That affidavit was used on the motion to quash and the motion was denied. The result of calling in question the veracity of the grand jurors who swore to this affidavit has been that to-day other members of th& grand jury have made affidavits swearing that Denison testified before that body bb the original affidavit said that he did, and as Mr. Denison swore on the trial that he did testify. The issne between Mr. Denison and the grand jurors is so serious, and so many ugly rumors have been at large for weeks, that it is probable that public opinion will compel a grand jury to determine whether Mr. Denison committed perjury. A member of the grand jury, who voted against Brumelkamp, is quoted as denying the statements in the affidavits of some of his fellow members in regard to Mr. Denison's testimony.

Tho Suburban handicap, the greatest racing event of thei year, was settled by the starter, who left the favorites at the poet and gave Eurus, a horse but little thought of, such a start that ho was neVer headed. While due allowance has been made for the extreme difficulty of handling a number of high strung horses, yet the suspicion has arisen that the bookmakers here have had something to do with it Over $1,000,000 has been won by the gamblers on the meeting so far. The Mail and Express, in a long article on the subject yesterday, after recounting a number of instances which would lead to the belief that Mr. Caldwell is in the pay of the bookmakers, calls upon the Jockey club to remove him or they will lose public support. The article closes: "An enormous turf scandal is threatened, and should the circumstances as talked about be developed by proof, racing in this country would receive a blow from which It would not recover In a dozen years, if, indeed, in a generation. The statement involves men so prominent in racing and with reputations so good that only the absolute proof could ensure the publication of their names and the facts of the conspiracy."

Aa the day wore on, Wednesday, and darkness shut out the scenes of the morning, the excitement increased, and it was feared that before dawn Morehead's street would again run with blood, to which might be addod flames. The town is heavily patrolled by tho ShoriiTs posse. Citizens were warned to keep in doors, and lights wore put out The sheriff's party numbered 150 men when tbe attach was first made. He refuses to be interviewed, but it is understood he acted under special orders from Governor Knott Every one breathes easier now that Craig Tolllver is dead, and predict that unless iiis relatives and friends in the adjoining county of Elliott seek revenge, and this is possible, the worst is over. 6 3-lb bare Challenge 1 00 WASHING POWDERS—Soapine, 10c per lb Cleanaene 10c, 3 pkgs for 25c Acme aoap powder 10,3 far 25 Ivorine 124c per lb CRACKERS— Hitchner'a XXX Cream, 4 lb for 25c CAKE8—Hitchner'a assorted... .3 lbs for 25c GRAHAM WAFERS. lJc per lb RICE So per lb SARDINES—Domestio i lb 5c, i lb 10c Imported.

Sir Henry Drummoini Wolff, through whose diplomatic cajolery tho treaty was brought about, (earing that the cabinet he represents may at the last moment fail to support him, has demanded an immediate decision of the questions he lias submitted, and Lord Salisbury is in a quandary. Egypt and Ireland are the two horns of his diltmma. In dealing wltb the latter question there is no i.ecessity for him to temporize, but in managing the former so as to secure the best possible results, or, indeed, from the present outlook, any good results at all, he is seeking to gain all the time he can and induce all the other parties concerned to commit themselves before showing his own hand. The impatience of Bjiecial Commissioner Wolff and the determined attitude of Russia and France, however, are pressing him closely, and a definite declaration of England's intentions in tlio premises cannot be much longer delayed.Nrw York, Juno 84.—'There were six events on the card at the Coney bland Jockey club* races at Sheepshead Bay.

The Largest Increase Was In tbe City of Bochester, N. Y. YELLOW FEVER CN KEY WEST. The Lasters' Union Must Fight Their Battle Alone. Washington, June 24.—A statement prepared by the poetofflce department shows that the sale of postage stamps, stamped envelopes and postal cards for the month of May, at the seventy-six first class postofflces, aggregates $1,733,0X9, which is an increase of $188,- 633, or 9.86 per cent Fifteen of the seventyix offices show a decrease. Rochester, N. Y., shows the greatest increase, 79.35 per cent.; New York shows on increase of 3.03 per cent.; Philadelphia, 7.81 per cent; Brooklyn, 25.23 per cent; Baltimore, 27.03 per cent; Boston, 7.36 per cent; Chicago, 12.42 per cent; St Louis, 9.89 per cent; Cincinnati, 9.63 per cent; St Paul, 33.87 per cent; Minneapolis, 19.10 per cent; New Orleans, 13.89 per cent; Pittsburg, 14.43 per cent Washington show* a decrease of .62 per cent One Han Says the Reports Are Greatly The supposition is that the workmen had tapped what is known in milling parlance as a "blower," and that the gas from this spread throughout the chamber, and coming in contact with tin naked lamp of the car driver who was passing by, exploded with deadly effect The clothing was burned off their bodies and all the victims were so disfigured that recognition was almost Impossible. The stable boas, Thomas J. Lohman, who was half a mile away at the time, beard the explosion and hurried to the fatal chamber. He found the three dead and the others dying and gave the alarm. It was after daylight when the bodies were brought out By that time a great crowd had gathered at the mouth of the slope. It was a sad sosne when the bodies were brought to the surface. Men and women and little children wrung their hands in agony and moaned pitifully as the liteleai form of a loved one was borne Crom the mine. Ooroosr Mahon was notified by Mine Inspector Williams to hold an in.quest, and went to Nantiooke this morning ior that purpose. Until the Inquest is held it Is probable that the real cause of the disjultr will be fully explained. Boston, June 24.—The Knights of Labor have abandoned tho Lasters' union in their fight for a recognition of organized labor in Worcester county shoe manufactories, and the lasters will continue the struggle alone. The lockout has boen in force six months and thousands of lasters have been involved. Up to a week ago the antipathy between the Lasters' union and the Knights seemed to have been burled, and the action of the latter in ordering their men back to work raised a storm of indignation in the camp of the trades unionists. They have published an address to the working people of the country, in which the Knights of Labor are oonsured in strong terms for their action in giving up tho fight and abandoning the "outside bottomers," a branch of the shoe craft which has an assembly in tbe Knightly order. The address says that it would be futile for working people to look for protection from an organization which finds it necessary to defend its right to exist The union will do all it can to help its abandoned brethren, and is confident of crowning ita long fight with a victory. Washington, June 24.—Mr. J. B. Brown, postmaster at Jfey West, at preaant iu Washington, complains that the reports about yellow fever at Key West are greatly exaggerated and unjust He says that the thirty cases that appeored in Key West prior to his departure on June 11 originated within 200 yards of the first cases. Exaggerated. The Countess Mercodes Campos and her lover, M. Mielvaque, alias Viscount Delatour Oarbooof, are having a hard time to get married. Having placod themselves beyond the fear of police interference, they had reason to believe that their application to the rogistrar at Dover for a special license would bj granted, but to their dismay they were informed that fifteen days' residence in England was necessary to entitle them to the coveted document, and they are left a prey to the apprehension that in the interval complications may arise to separate them finally. It has beon ascertained that Mielvaque, whoso employment as clerk in the French chamber of deputies carried with it the princely salary of #750 a year, left creditor* in Paris whose aggregate claims amount to #10,000. Instead of being a scion of French nobility, as has been stated, Mielvaque is the ■on of a bailiff in the department of Corrsge.To Superintend Indian Schools. Washington, Jurie 24.—Professor A. H.

BROOMS—Best No 8  ......25o Pittsburo, Jane 24.—Yesterday's session of the Amalgamated association convention was occupied by the reading of the report of the committee on ways and means and consideration of the application of the colored puddlers from Bverson mills for readmission. An effort was made to exclude the colored workmen and excited prolonged and vigorous discussion. Buch action was found to be unconstitutional, and it was determined to readmit the applicants on payment of $1,200 fine for "black sheeping," C800 to bo paid down and $400 in four years. The Everson puddlers think their penalty rather severe, but will probably accept the terms. Beet No. 7 20c OILS—Kerosene..... 10c or 3 gal for 25e Headlight 12c or 6 gal for BO Weather Indications.

The Jubilee festivities and rejoicing are tapering off, and many of the prominent visitors aro leaving for their homes.

Dreyfris' bill created quite a flurry In the French chamber of deputies yesterday, and if) debate will doubtless evoke some very drey and intemperate speeches. The bill is timed solely at Germans, which goes without ■aying, and is designed to effect the ultimate wholesale expulsion of Germans from France upon the slightest of pretexts. The measure is so obviously a provocative of German retaliation that it is doubtful if the government will countenance it, and it is certain to be rejected on a division. Mr. Brown says that be believes the sensational reports are spread by naval officers who do not like to be in southern latitudes during the summer. Tours far ready pay, CHAIL ROARK'8 TRIAL. JOHN L.

Every Afternoon and Eve- The stock market this morning was active and weak. The effects of the bank failure ia Cincinnati was the principal cause of the weakness in the market here. The deplorable condition of the affairs of that institution and rumors of financial complications in Chicago caused a vigorous selling of stocks. The bears took advantage of the occasion to raid some of the leaders and prioes went rapidly down. The rate for call loans was advanced to 7 per cent, which aided the depression. At one time a semi-panicky feeling prevailed and stocks of all descriptions were unloaded without stint The boltoui figures of the morning were touched about midday. At that hour the dedins ranged from 14 to M per cent The weakest stocks on the list were: New York and New England. Richmoni and West Point Jersey Central and Beading. Immediately after IS o'clock there was a rally, and at 12:90 prioes bad recovered M to 1 per cent This waa due to a positive denial of serioui losses by the officers of the bank of American Exchange in Chicago and public assurances by other Chicago banks that they would staud by It in case of a run. The sales up to ni 1.1 clay aggregated to ai-J.000 shares. The market became weak again after 1S:%D, and fn the hour to 1:!» prices went down with a rush. Some of the leaders declined froi 2 to 4 per cent This was followed by a rally of hi to lftf per cent., which waa wholly lost in the final half hour of business.

After getting away from his keepers he came to this city and spent several days here.

He was Jailed for theft when a mere boy, but he secured release by feigniug illness. In 1886 he was sentenced to state prison for five years for larceny. He twice tried to oscape, and in one instanoe nearly killed Watchman llabb. At Trenton he convinced the authorities that he was insane, and they removed him to the asylum.
