Lodisvillb, June 24. hi Rowan County yesterday morning the final chap ter in the bloodiest vendotta known to the history of this State was enacted, the culmination being reached in the tragic end of four desperate men, Craig Tollivor and bis brothers and. one other, who forioitcd tholr lives while resisting the mandates of the law.

After tho destruction of thousands of dollars worth of property and the loss of twenty-one llvesl Rowan County can now return to peace and prosperity, yos-terday's work ending tho succession of tragedies that have been enacted sluce tho beginning of the Martln-Tollivor feud not quite two years ago. In the August, VSA, election, after a heated contest, Cook Humphreys was elected sheriff of Rowan County by forty- seven majority over Bum Goodwill. During tbe canvass many animosities wore engendered the Martins allying themselves with Humphreys' and the Tollivers with Good win's cause. Craig Tollivor, tho leader of the latter faction, whose name in Kontucky has grown as notoriously familiar as was that of Jesse James in Missouri several years ago, swore after the oloctlon that Humphreys should novor ride Rowan County as sheriff und since that Solomon Bradley, John Martin, Whit Pel- trey, B.

H. Logan, and Craig, Bud and Jay Tolliver and Hiram Cooper have boon killed. When the Chesapeake Ohio train from Norfolk, was within a few miles of Moorohead, Rowan County, yesterday morn ing, it was flagged by somo citizens, and when it came to a stop they informed the conductor that a bloody battlo was going on in Moorchoad botwoon a shoriff's posso and tho Tollivor gang, and that it would not be safe for the train to proceed until hostilities ceased. The passengers and trainmen were very much frightened, and at their solicitation tho conductor ran the train te Martin's switch, two miles and a half oast of Moorehcad, There they remained until nearly twelve o'clock, whon they wero notified that the fighting was ovor and that tboy might pass with safety. It was learned there by the passengors that Sheriff Hogg, acting under instructions from tbe Stuto authorities, had been for about a week quietly organizing a largo posso of deter mined men in tbo upper purt of Ilowun County and in tbe adjoining counties for the purpose of arresting Craig Tolliver and all tho party who wore implicated in the murder of the Logan boys somo two weeks ago.

Craig Tolliver received intimations iOf this, but tboy were so vague that he sun- posed the party would regulators in stead of a sheriff's posse, and ho and bis party, consisting of about ton mon, were quite vigilant, and went hoavily armed to meet every eastward bound train at tho depot to search for suspicious characters, and to soo that no ono got off at Moorohead but those whom they desirod. Sheriff Hogg in tho moantime equipped his largo party with Wiuchestqr rifles and the ammunition was secretly conveyed to bis rendezvous. Every thing was ready for tbo move on theTcllivors several days ago, but as it was known that noithor ho nor any of his mon would peaceably submit to legal arrost ot any kind it was doomed best to have the plans thoroughly matured before taking any dcoiaive step, it was finally, determined to attempt tho arrost of tbo assassins Wednesday, June 23, in the daytime to prevent any women, childron, or inoffensive citizon from being killed by accident, Accordingly early yosterday morning people living on tho lino of the rauroaa witnin two or mroo nines oi mooro head on each side of tho town wore notified to stop all trains and inform the conductors what was going on In Moorohead, so that the passengors and train mon would not be placed in dangor. Sheriff Hogg'B band of resolute men, numbering probably more than 200, ap peared suddenly at Moorohead about eight o'clock yestorday morning. A cordon was first established around tho on tiro town, in the brush where the men could not be seen, and tho sboriff entored the town at the head of about 100.

well armed men. Craig Tolliver and his ton followers Immediately retreated to the Cottage Hotel Which they had previously barricaded in such a manner as to make it quite formid able fortification. Tho sheriff notified him that ho had warrants for tho arrest of all the men implicated in the killing of the Logan boys, and askod that they submit peaceably, but Tolliver's reply was that neither be nor any of his mon would be arrested, and that a hundred men could not take them. The Tolliver party then opened fire on the shoriff's posso. Quite a brisk battle ot musketry eusuod and tho fighting was kept up probably for two hours.

The only casual. ty for a tima was a flesh wound received by one of the sheriff's posse. Tho attacking party, however, wore gradually drawing their lines closer around Tolliver's fortifi. cation, and the besieged party, finding things growing too warm, finally concluded to make a bold rush for liberty, cut their way through tbo shoriff's linos and take to the adjacent brush, which: once reached, would afford them a secure escape. But as they mado the rush they were mot by a tremendous volley which killed Craig Tollivor, Bud Tolliver, Jay Tolliver and Hiram Cooper.

Thoy were all shot through the heart and died instantly. Craig Tolliver seems to have boon a goneN al turgut, as ho was so thoroughly riddlod as to be scarcely recognizable. The. othor men of the gang got through safoly, but as they approached the brush thoy wore met by a volley from the outsido cordon a una ot men stationed ten or twelve foot itpart all around the town. This, wi-unded Cate Tollivor, a twelvo- yeuT-old boy, and three others, all of whom wore captured except Cute, who crawled Into tho brush and oscunod.

The othor throe escaped, but one was captured afterward.

Washington, June 23. The following statement In reference to the national finances is authorized by the Treasury Department: The estimated recoipta and expenditures of the Government in the months of July and August show that there will be decrease rather than an increase of the treasury surplus during that time. After providing tor. the 119,705,000 of expired bonds due July 1 the surplus will bo The pension appropriation of for the fiscal your ending June 1, 1887, has already been exhausted, consequently the Pension Bureau reports that When the new appropriation becomos available, on July 1, it wiU draw 112,000,000 for the payment of pensions. This will leave tn the treasury a surplus of (05,000,000.

The Government assets in national bunk depositories July 1 will be about equal to that sum, so that, substantially, the whole Government balance will thus be available for the current business of the country on July 1, and will probably continue thus available for some months, for thg amount Of Government deposits in national banks constantly increases, and in August another 112,000,000 will be drawn for pensions. Accruing interest and ordinary expenses Will require $3,000,000 in July and August, and the receipts for those months will be about 185,000,000, leaving on September 1 a surplus less than on July 1 of Other considerations should be noted as affecting the influence of the treasury upon the finances of the country. One is that of the above estimated receipts more than 117,000,000 will come, not from taxation, but from the profit on the coinage of the silver dollar. Another Is that during July and August the Government will expend at least 4,000,000 in the purchase of silver bullion, which sum Is not included in the above estimated expenditures. Another is that 177,000,000 of the surplus is got by calling cash that amount of trade dollars redeemed and molted into bars.

Last year the treasury surplus in Juno, July and August ranged from 175,000,000 to (85,000,000, against $18,000,000 to $29,000,000 this year. When a comparison is made upon the same basis with the deposits in National Bank depositories it is much larger. During the fiscal year ending June 80, 1887, the circulating medium of the country will have been increased through treasury operations and otherwise about $70,000,000, of which $55,000,000 is in notes and coins of $20 and under." WHIMSY'S NAVY YAHD FOMCY. Washington, June 22. Secretary Whitney, in reply to a query whether his totter addressed to a Newark gentleman concerning the complaint of a young man who had been discharged from the New York Navy Yard meant a new departure, said: "It is not the enunciation of a new but of an old policy with reference to the navy yards.

I investigated sufficiently to satisfy myself that they wore in a very bad shape. I demonstrated this publicly within three months of my taking this office. I gave two notable examples. The steamship Mohican, just then going into commission, had been repaired in the Mare Island Navy Yard at an expense equal to twice what a new vessel of her characteristics would have cost. The conditions were similar in the case of the Omaha, repaired at the Portsmouth (N.

yard. These were only illustrations which showed a bad state of things in the yard, and I proceeded to make an entire change in the administration of the yards. I changed the system of contracting and of purchasing and changed the personnol, and what I meant to say in that letter was that I did not feel called upon to specify a cause for the removal of any person in a navy yard, because a change outright, where you have show that the thing is in bad shape, is best for the Government service."

Axr? at of Three of the Offlcora of tho Fldolity Bank of Cinoin-1 natl, Charjrcd With Mlsapplylnc? Funds Tito Action of tho Bank Ex-' aminor Thought to Foreshadow Revelations of Gross Frauds Vice President Harpers Assignment, Cincinnati, June 23. Much excitement occurred yesterday morning whon It was known that tho Bank Examiner had closed the Fidelity Bunk. In tho afternoon the Union Nationnl Bank, of Cleveland, brought suit in attachment against tho bank to re-' cover fU7. 131.44, assorting that the defend ant corporation fraudulently and criminal ly incurred the obligation lor which suit was brought. Attorney J.

N. Follott, whon askod what was the basis of his charge of fraud, replied that the Fidelity Bank, before incurring the liability, notified his client that $50,000 had been forwarded to be placed to its credit, when, in fact, no money was forwarded. It was only week ago yesterday that the Fidelity Bank sont out a circular donylng tho charges of an anonymous circular, which charged them with tampering with specu lation in wheat. In that the officers say "We are doing a larger business than evor before and our deposits have reached this day the highest point in our history." After stating that it allowed two and a half per cent interest on daily balances calculated monthly and mado no Charge for exchange, thoy sayi "We have tho largest surplus and the largest doposlts of any National Bank in Ohio." There does not seem to be any evidence discovered to prove these statements wore not true. The depletion of the surplus by tbe withdrawal of deposits has been since that time, and, so ar as known, the bank examiner did not base his action on the depletion bf tho funds but upon the violation of tho National Banking luw.

This was shown by the significant action taken at four o'clock yesterday afternoon, when, undor affidavits drawn by Assistant United States District Attorney J. E. Bruce, and sworn to bi Bank Exuminor Powoll. Deputy Mar- shaljliohnor wont to the FldolityaBank and arrested Vice-President E. L.

Harper, Cashier Auimi Baldwin and Assistant Cashier Bonjamln E. Hopkins. Thoy wore taken before United States Commisuloner Hooker where thoy gave ball for future appearance. Mr. Harper's bond was flxod at 175,000, and the other two at 10,000 each.

It Is understood the affidavits upon which the rrests were mode do not cover all the transactions of that kind, and that furthor charges will be as the examination proceeds. Everywhere tho ono subject of conversation is the failure of the great It Is a peculiar feature that it is gen-recognized as not a bank but ministration of a portion of Its offl- ithout tho knowledge of its president andlireotors. Mr. Briggs Hwift, president, bas Wm known as one of the most conservative ot mon, but it is said he has not active in nis manaeomont, inai auiy devolved upon Mr. Harper.

Within the past month he has been trying to ascertain what was Doing done, but has been pro tysd accui icossfully thwarted. Whilo tbethreo led officers are popular men, especially Mess) s. Harper and Hopkins, there is no limit! to the condemnation of the use of bank) funds or credit in speculation ventures! As the situation Is discussed the feeling grows strongor that tho worst revolatlons remain to be made. This li based on the fact that, the bank examiner so early in his ex- amlnbtlon took tho great responsibility ot causlhg the arrest of these throe mon whon the pinishment, in the case of conviction, Is Imprisonment in the penitentiary. Talk among bankors as to tho effect on other banks is all of a cheerful toso.

It is said that Bank Examiner Powell on Monday afternoon de mandod a statemout from the Fidelity Bank and received one showing a balance on hand of 160,000 cash. Calling for a vie of th is money, he was shown a load pencil memo randa reading "Wilshiro, Eckert 900,000, J. W. Wilshiro 48.000," and so on through the long list. There was no collateral, and no security whatever.

The fact is Harper concealed from the directors his connection with the whout aoal. He 19 said to have admitted yestcr- day that he did not go into the wheat deal himself, but that he honored an overdraft for Wilshiro for 48,000, and then put in the rest to save that. Eugono Powell, the bank examiner, is credited with saying that the condition of the bank is woeful. He said it was singular bow Harper had deceived everybody about the matter. Tension Fees.
