df THE EVENING STAR: WASHINGTON, D.C., FRIDAY, AUGUST 9, 1889, RECEIVED BY MR. BLAINE. President Harrison ney Through the State of Maine. ©ROWDS CHEER HIM AND WANT TO SHAKE HIS HAND AT EVERY STOPPING PLACR—THE VEN- ERABLE HANNIBAL HAMLIN'S SENTIMENT—MR. BLAINE MEETS HISGUEST AT MT. DESERT FERRY. When President Marrison ceached Augusta, Me., the home of Mr. Blaine, yesterday, he ‘as creeted by a great crowd, which extended soroas the depot platform ané tracks, and some of its members were on the depot roof and upon buildings nearat hand. It was a gather- ing typical cf & Maine city, and as the train was brought to a standstill and the President walked outon the platform he was given an old-fashioned Maine cheer. Mayor Lane in- troduced the President. Then the cheering began again and the President grasped many of the scores of hands which were held out to him. Everybody wanted to shake hands with him, of course, and men and women clutched the sides of the car and clambered on the coup- ling to do so. There was Pushing and hauling, for the crowd was packed closely, and one or two men lost their hats, but it was a big recep- tion and President Harrison evidently enjoyed it. The train moved off in a storm of cheers, The President sat down to lunch with Sena- tor Hale as soon as the train left the Augusta depot. His lunch was interrupted by his arri- val at Waterville, which was signalized by a salute. A big crowd occupied the green in front of the depot and gave Maine cheers as, under the escort of Gov. Barleigh’s staff off- cers, the President left the train for the first time since it started from Boston. Amid cheers he walked to a staging, which had been erected for the pnrpose within sight of the ears, Mayor Meader and other civilians were with him. In response to their greeting the President said: THE PRESIDENT’S FIRST SPEECH. “The preparations which have been made here are more suggestive of a speech than those I have seen at any other place along my route. I started from Washington with a resolute pur- pose to make no speeches. The purpose of my coming to Maine, as you well know, was to visit your distinguished citizen, my personal friend and cabinet officer, James G. Blaine. [Great cheering.] I beg yon will, therefore, allow me simply to thank you for the cordiality with which you have greeted me, to wish you all good and to bid you good-bye.” Amid cheering the President returned to the train and to his lunch. Afterward he de- voted himself to a chat with Senator Hale. Both geutlemen went to the rear of the train when Bangor was reached, about 3:30 pe while a salute was being fired. The depot platform was packed with humanity. So great, indeed, was the crowd that hundreds of people could not get a glimpse of President Harrison until the train moved off again. In front and atthe sides of the car the people crowded, d through a door at the side which was ened Congressman Loutelle, Hon. Hannibal Hamlin, Mayor Bragg, ex-Gov. Davis and other gentlemen entered. These visitors, who only remained in the car for a minute or so, chatted pleasantly with the President when he was not shaking hands with the people in the crowd. Mayor Brag, told the President: “I am very sorry we coul not receive you more formally MR. HAMLIN’S SENTIMENT. Mr. Hamlin said: ‘The arrangements ought to have been that we could have extended to You the hospitality that is in our hearts.” The President answered, *‘Thank you, sir,” and added a word or two, which implied that he appreciated what was meant. But these remarks were interrupted by the necessity for greeting the crowd then, if at all, and Con- gressman Goutelle imtroduced him to the multi- tude. who gave three cheers for the President. The President extended his hand over the rail and shook the hands of those who were fortu- nate enough to reach him. Congressman Bou- telie finally announced: *The President would be very glad to shake hands with you all, but it is impossible,” and off the train went as more cheers were raised. ‘he 50 miles between Waterville and Bangor had been done in sixty-two minutes, and the runalong the made in what seemed to A new locomotive had mgor.

Sen- ator Hale took care of the President at this point. Save for an occasional cheer as the train dashed through a station or by a field there was nothing out of the ordinary until Mount Desert ferry was reached. There another crowd was met and it was a great one. considering the size of the place. RECEIVED BY MR. BLAINE. Secretary of State Blaine, who had gone over onaspecial boat from Bar Harbor, walked along the platform between the people, and, stepping into the private car, greeted the Presi- dent. He was followed closely by Congress- man Henry Cabot Lodge of Massachusetts. With but a minutes’s delay the President and his Secretary of State, followed by the rest of the party, left the cars and walked through to the steamer Sappho, which was brightly deco- ratedeverywhere that decoratioas could be placed. The presidential train had arrived a few min- utes before the 8 a.m. train from Boston, and the boat, a special one, had only afew passen- gers besides the notable ones. Messrs, Harri- son and Blaine walked upon the upper deck and stood at the bow, looking at the boat, which started about 5 p.m. They were obliged to put on overcoats very soon, for a chilly evening on the water followed a warm day on the land, but they kept their place: till the wharf at Bar Harbor was reac the island reception began. The first sign of the reception came from the revenue cutter Woodbury, which was decorated and which fired a national salute. This greeting was taken up by yachts, some of which were decor. ated. ‘Then the welcome was taken up by the people on shore. The wharf was crowded and the street contained many sight-seers. Amid frequent cheers from the people and music by the Bar Harbor band THE PRESIDENT AND MR. BLAINE LANDED and walked along the wharf out into the street, where carriages were awaiting them. The two notables got into a landau. In turning a cor- ner one wheel grazed the wheel of another car- riage which was trying toturnat the same time and the latter's wheel was smashed, Mr. Walker Blaine, Mr. Halford and Mr. Lodge followed at once ina curriage drawn by Mr. Blsine’s horses, and a dozen vehicles closed in behind and made quite a procession through the streets. Up Main street they went. The hotel piazzas and balconies contained the hotel residents, the sidewalks were well lined, many stores and buildings were decorated and at several points along the route cheers for the Visitors were raised. But when the procession turned out of Main street it was to proceed to Stanwood, Mr. Blaine’s cottage, through streets that contained no crowds and few decorations. The two car- riages which led the jine turned in the Si he cottege the Pr of State were Lodge, who, w . Blaine’s guest for a day or two, and Mr. Haltord followed, and Mr. Walker Blaine brought up th r. Last evening the Presi- dent dined quietly with the Blaine family and rested after the excitement of the Boston re- ception and the trip of the day. Just what he will do today is a little uncertain. Itis safe to say, however, that he will lunch with Aulick Palmer, dine quietly with Mr. Blaine, aud in the evening enjoy the hospitalities of tie club. While no definite announcement has been made, it is understood that he will go to Moosehead lake during his visit to the east, and « popular reception at Bar Harbor one day this week is talked of. see Allen’s Partner Arrested. PF. W. Hoefele, President Allen's partner in the fron business, was arrested at his house in New York city last evening and locked up at police headquarters.

Triumphal Jour-| Another Chapter in the Government Telegraph Controversy. President Norvin Green of the Western Union telegraph company, in a lengthy reply to Post- master General Wanamaker’s last communica- tion on telegraph rates to the government, says: “We seem to be getting nearer together as to the power and éxty of the Postmaster Gen- eral to name the rate of tolls to be paid om gov- ernment messages. I only claim that this power and duty are limited by the constitution toa just compensation for the service required, and that a just compensation must cover the actual cost of the service with something added for the use of facilities necessary to perform it, and as you say the government is willing to pay just rates we have come quite to an agree- ment on the principal that must govern the fixing of rates to be paid. I still insist that the government is our most favored cus- tomer and that the rate for govern- ment service during the fi years, considering the character of the service, is lower than that given to any other patron. The government rate has been 1 cent per word for thousand miles or less. You may make up a supposed message, with ad- dress and signature of unusual length and twenty words in a body, sent a short distance under our half-rate contracts with Saetanen companies, and show that it isa trifle less than the government rate, but the half rate is genera'ly higher, and you forget that this half rate in’ money is not all we get, toit must be added the value of what those transportation companies do for us. But when you apply even the strongest sup) d case to & message between New York and Chicago or Washington and St. Louis, you will find the government rates are the lower.” “The aver- age reduction in the government rate in twelve years has probably been in the neighborhood of 50 per cent. For the year ending July, 1877, our average rate to the public was 43 6-10 cents per message. Last year it was 31 2-10 cents per message, the reduction to the Care being something less than 30 percent. In the same period the cost to the company of handling messages has been reduced from 29 8-10‘ cents per message to 232-10 cents, being about 20 per cent.” Se nana ROMEO BIRCH ACQUITTED. A Sympathetic Jury Hold That a Mid- night Call is Not Always Burglary. From the Philadelphia Press, The story of a romantic love adventure was developed in the old court house yesterday when Conrad E. Birch, twenty-three years of age, was acquittted before Judge Biddle of the charge of burglary. Birch, who lives at Harrowgate, was charged in two bills of in- dictment with burglary at the house of Thomas Wilkins at Harrowgate. Birch had been pay- ing attention to Lenora, the daughter of Wi kins, a girl of seventeen years, but his atten- tions had been objected to by the girl's family and he had been forbidden the house. Deter- mined to have an interview with his sweetheart he climbed into the window of her bed room in the second story, but was met with three vol- leys of gunshot and was arrested. Thomas Wilkins, father of the girl, testified that at 11 o'clock onthe night of July 31 he heard a noise of somebody breaking in. The family had not retired, He called his son Alon- zo’s attention to the nvise. Alonzo got his gun, ran arcund by the window and fired three shots at the supposed burglar. The old man was sur- prised when Birch ran down the stairway and egged him not to shoot. An officer was sent for and the young man was arrested. “Aren't there some relations existing be- tween your daughter and this young man?” asked Lawyer Thomas P. Judge, who repre- sented the defendant. “No,” replied the wit- ness, most emphaticall; “I don’t mean kinship,” explained Mr. Judge, “but wasn’t he paying some attentions to your daughter?” BENJAMIN SPANDAUER DEAD. The Life of a Witness Against Mrs. Sur- ratt Ends in the Penitentiary. Benjanmin Spandauer, s well-known crimi- nal and confidence man, died yesterday in the Maryland penitentiary of bowel complaint after an illness of several weeks. He had been confined to his bed for several days. Spandauer was a witness for the United States against Mrs, Surratt, who was hanged for alleged com- plicity in the murder oc President Abraham Lincoln. He also figured as a government da- tective in the prosecution of John H. Surratt in 1868, The trial lasted for three or four weeks. The Baltimore Sun says: The offense for which he went to state prison was securing $70 under false pretenses from his brother-in-law, George A. Retler. He was accused of obtain- ing $20 from George H. Waltman under false representation. ‘altman was a cousin to Spandauer’s wife, and had been promiseda position with the Baltimore City passenger railway. On June 23 Spandauer was sentenced to two years in the penitentiary. Deputy Marshal Lannan, in Ger ai Yo dauer’s record last night, said: ‘I have known of him since about 1870. I got to know him better on going to the central police station in 1874. He was known as a mean, low confidence man, and had been arrested on numerous petty charges. He was arrested in 1883 by Detective Droste, and gota term in jail. The term he was serving when he died was the only one in ene aee born came aria, G a wi le was born in Bavi jermany, and was about Sfty-nine years old.’ He bed black hair eyes and side whiskers, and was a man of me- ium weight and height. His face was long, his nose flat, and his complexion dark. i THE TOTAL ABSTINENCE UNION. “He can’t marry no daughter of mine,” re- plied the old man ina most defiant manner. “If Thad had that ere gun instead of my son, he would have been ia the hospital instead of in that ere dock.” Alonzo, the son, corroborated his father’s story. adding that he shot at him three times, but did not hit him. The defendant was then called to the witness stand to testify in hisown behalf. He said that so much of the story as was told by the prose- cutor was true. He had broken in at the hour named, was shot at and arrested, but he was very much enamored of the daughter of the house, Lenora. The parents of the young girl and her brother objected to his attentions, and were so careful and successful in their efforts to keep him away from her that he took thii opportunity of making acall, His intentions were entirely proper, and he could only ac- count for his meeting her at that unseemly hour and in that burglarious manner by his reat desire to meet her and have a chat with her. All his other efforts to see her had been baffled by the family. He took nothing from the house and made no attempt to take any- thing. Several witnesses were called to testify to his good character. Then Lawyer Judge told the jury in his address that the young fellow ought to be commended for his nerve and for escap- ing the shots, when he had to climb through a netting in the window. “It is a shame,” sai he, “to indict a ‘Romeo’ like him for burglary.” The jury acquitted Birch immediately without leaving the box on both indictments, and he walked out of the court room triumphantly with his counsel. - ——e0—______ FIGHTING FOR A GIRL. New York Pugilists Pummel Each Other for Feminine Favor. About forty sports assembled in a well-known sporting resort near New Brighton, 8. L, yes- terday morning. to witness a fight to a finish between Mikey Young and Eddie Moran, both of Staten island. Both the men were desirous of the exclusive society of the same girl, and she seemed to like both of them so well that she did not know which one to choose, so the men came to the conclusion that the best way was to fight it out in the prize ring, the winner to have the exclusive right to go with the girl. A prominent sporting man of the island agreed to make up a purse of $200. Young is twenty- five years old, stands5 feet 6 inches, and weighs 152 pounds. Moran stands 5 feet 7 inches, weighs 150 pounds and is twenty-eight years old. Young was seconded by Billy Dunn and Jack Fay. Moran was looked after by Eddie O’Brien and Jim Daly. A prominent sporting man was chosen referee. Johnnie Hennessy held the watch for both men. The fight was under Marquis of Queensberry rules. Both men were dressed in regulation ring costume and wore skin-tight gloves with the fingers cut off. i In the firet four rounds Young had much the best of it, but Moran rallied up well, and in the last round, while Young was thoughtlessly wiping the blood which was streaming trom his face with his right glove, Moran caught him a terrific right-hander under the left ear and knocked Young out, and the referee awarded the purse and fight to Moran, COLLOM ARRESTED. It is Thought He Intended to Commit Suicide. The series of forgeries committed by J. Frank Collom is still the reigning sensation in Min- neapolis, Collom was arrested late yesterday afternoon upon @ warrant sworn out by A. A. Davis, attorney for Mr. Blaisdell. The com- plaint charges that Collom forged a $3,500 five- day note. One of the other warrants is sworn out by W. B. Anderson on a thirty-day note issued July 6, and a third complaint was for 4 $5,000 note issued June 29. He was arraigned a few moments later in the municipal court. ‘The judge finally refused to release Collom on bail on account of the numerous charges, and he passed the night in the city lock-up. It is darkly hinted that Collom really in- tended to commit suicide when he made the desperate attempt to jump out of the window of Davis & Farnham’s law office Tuesday after- noon. In support of the theory of suicidal in- tent it unted out that within the last three mouths Collom has taken out insurance upon hus life to an amount exceeding $100,000. This insurance is known to be placed in the following companies: New York Like » New York, 25,000; Mutual Benefit, Newark, $10,000; Massachusetts em pig he goer Maine, $10,000; wi fe, New York (a) making a total of 116,000." san pee a] ication lose than two wetks ago thoue ata Minneapolis. His application was forwarded to the home office in New York week ago. Unseemly Levity. TWalter-"Ob, Mabel, I worship Walter— the very hair of your head. Give me one ‘curl to recall this hour at some future time.” Mabel—*Oh, I see--a sort of time lock.” Walter—“A lock is a good thing to adore; that’s why I want it.” ae r Resolutions Adopted by the Conven- tion—Election of Officers. The delegates to the national convention of the Catholic total abstinence union completed their business in Cleveland, Ohio, yesterday. The committee on constitution recommended no material changes and their report was ac- cepted. The report of the committee on reso- lutions constituted the basis of most of the dis- cussion of the day. The resolutions advocate total abstinence as the safest and surest battle against the evils of intemperance. They say: “We realize that the future of this union and of temperance among our Catholic people de- pends in a great measure upon the training of children in Catholic schools, the formation of cadet societies and societies of young women.” The resolutions also “‘condemn the practi: of using liquor in so-called Catholic clubs at picnics, excursions, and the like, held or con- trolled by Catholics, as scandalous and con- ducive to intemperance and other deplorable disorders,” The concluding resolution says: “The promise by which this union one year ago pledged itself to endow the Father Mathew chair in the university should be soon re- deemed, and we appeal to the spiritual di- rectors,” In the afternoon a letter was read from Arch- ishop John J. Keane of the new Catholic uni- versity at Washington commending the union for its purpose to endow a professorship in the university as a memorial to Father Mathew, the apostle of temperance. The centennial of his birth willoccur in October, 1890, and the union will celebrate the event by giving 250,000 to the Fathew Mathew chair in the new institution, which will itself be dedicated next November. The committee on the memorial reported to the convention that they had raised $5,000. They resolved to enlarge the committee by choosing one member from each subordinate union, who will see to it that every member of his union contributes $1 to the fund. This plan, if successful, will raise the $50,000 for the professorship. The election of officers resulted as follo President, Rev. J. M. Cleary, Kenosha, Wi: first vice president, Rev. Morgan M. Sheed) Pittsburg; second vice president, Wm. A. Man- ning, Cleveland; treasurer, Rev. Wm. McMa- hon, Cleveland; secretary, Philip A. Nolan, Philadelphia. Pittsburg was selected by a vote of 442 to 287 as the city for holding the next convention. a ag ee A SCENE IN PARLIAMENT. Mr. Harrington Threatens Mr. Balfour Amidst a Great Uproar. In the English house of commons last night during the debate on the Irish estimates, Mr. Balfour, chief secretary for Ireland, referred to two resident magistrates refusing to subscribe forarace meeting because Ted Harrington, a member of the committee, had denounced the police as cowards, liars and uniformed blood- hounds. Mr. Harrington challenged Mr. Balfour to give his authority, and Mr. Balfour replied that he spoke on the best of authority. Mr. Har- rington started across the floor, apparently with the intention of assaulting Mr. Balfour. He was followed and pulled back by Mr, Ma- honey. A tremendous uproar followed. The chairman’s calls for order were drowned in Irish yells, Amid a moment’s pause Tim Healy loudly accused Mr. Balfour of using an insuiting oe ture toward Mr. Harrington, and told Mr. - four to keep quiet or else they would make him. The tumult continued a quarter of an hour, the chairman warning the Parnellites to control their feelings, When order was restored Mr. Balfour denied that he had used an insulting gesture, and Mr. Harrington apologized for his hasty action. Mr. Balfour was then allowed to proceed with his speech. ——_—_+e+______ Haytian War Reports. Officers of the steamer George W. Clyde, which arrived in New York yesterday from Port de Caix August 2, says that the fighting at Port au Prince still continues, with little change in affairs, At St. Mark’s it was reported that Hippolyte had transported 1,000 men to Sale- trou, effecting a landing without opposition, although that region is inhabited by legitimists, The lack of opposition is attributed to scarcity of arms among the residents. It was said Hip- | ya roposed to enroll and equip them in is vecvice, and if successful in this he would gain an advantge over Legitime, as the dis- tance across the peninsula to Port au Prince is not great, and an attack with a considera- ble force from that quarter might result in capture. ———-+ee Horrible Death of a Child. At Cleveland, Ohio, Wednesday evening Charles Oberg, thirteen years old, while creep- ing under a circus tent on the West Side, was struck on the neck by one of the showmen. His windpipe was fractured, and after suffering terrible agony all night he died yesterday, His body, on account of the escape of air which should have gone into his lungs, was twice its normal size when he died Three showmen are under arrest. ——_—-ee0_____ A Clan-na-Gael Organ. New York Correspondence Baltimore Sun. The extradition of Martin Burke to Chicago in the Cronin murder case revives the languish- ing interest in that unsolved mystery all over the country. One consequence of the murder will be the starting of a Clan-na-Gael organ, a weekly paper called the Freeman in Phila- delphia, The projectors are O’Meagher Con- don, who was discharged from the editorial staff of the Irish World because he took the Cronin side against Patrick Ford’s adv of the Sullivan spy theory; Dr. P. J. McCahey, who was with Dr. Cronin on the famous investi- gating committee; M. J. Ryan and other well ‘nown Clan leaders. A uumber of the New York members will go to Philadelphia on next Mon- day to attend the festival which the Clan elubs will have on that day at Rising Sun park. see She Marrted a Colored Barber. A sensation was created in Jersey City Wednesday night by the information that a young colored barber had been joined in mar- riage Tuesday night to a handsome white girl. The parties are Louis Campbell Bullock, who recently came from Savannah, Ga., and Bar- bara Florence Selfried, whose family lives in Carlstadt, N. J. Bullock is a light-colored negro, «bout twenty-three years old, and owns « barber shop in Jersey City. His bride up to the day of her marriage was in Mrs, Mechler’s confectionery store, directl; site the barber She is SULLIVAN AND LOWRY. The Champion Pugilist Meets the Gov- ernor of Mississippi. A New Orleans special to the Baltimore American says: It has been learned that John L. Sullivan, while going from Jackson to Pur- vis, had an interview on the train with Gov- ernor Lowry of Mississippi. Sheriff Childs in- troduced the champion, saying: ‘Governor, at Mr. Sullivan's request, I have brought him in to see you.” Seiliven, hat in hand, said in substance: “Yes, your excellency, I wanted to pay my respects to you. I have no idea that you have any ill feeling toward me personally, and I want to say that I have no hard feeling to- ward you and do not blame you for doing you duty as governor of your state. But, — if you knew me you would know at Iam not a bad-hearted man. I don’t want to break your laws. I didn’t know the fight was to come off in eer a till the last moment and when it was too late for fet todo anything. It was then fight or be call ® coward I know, governor, you would be like I was. You wouldn't let them call yous coward without fighting, I wanted to pay my oe to yor vernor, and say to you that I wi he well” end hope you will have success in life and all your efforts to enforce our laws, which, I assure you, I had no inten- ion of breaking. I am yours truly, John L. Sullivan.” The champion then bowed himself out, the paletaaes courteously acknowledging Sullivan's greeting. The pestle has not given his impression of Sullivan, but those who were near say he was evidently impressed by Sullivan's gentlemanly demeanor. He was heard to say, ‘He hasn't got a bad eye, by any means.” KILRAIN STILL AT HAMPTON. Kilrain, who is still enjoying himself at Hampton, is highly amused at the reports of his capture telegraphed over the country. Mrs. Kilrain was in Norfolk yesterday shopping: for herself and Jake, THE LAST OF DETECTIVE NORRIS. A telegram has been received by the Mary- land secretary of state from Gov. Lowry of Mississippi, stating that he had revoked the appointment of Detective Norris, who was try- ing to arrest Kilrain, the prize fighter. . PUGILIST PAT KILLEN ARBESTED. Pat Killen, the pugilist who is to fight Joe McAuliffe in a few weeks, was arrested ata variety theater in San Francisco Wednesday night while giving a sparring exhibition with Prof. Anderson of separ pi Anderson, Mad- den, Pope, Gooding and several others were also arrested, but the party was released upon $50 bail each. Capt. Short, who made the arrest, said his orders had come from the chief of | ears and were caused by Killen’s offerin; be nock @ man out in four rounds or forfeit a DISCONTENTED COLORED MEN. Thousands of Them Preparing to Take Their Families Out of North Carolina. A Raleigh, N.C., special to the Philadelphia Press says: About three months ago the col- ored men of this state held an emigration meeting in this city and appointed a committee to correspond with the colored people through- out the state and make all the arrangements necessary for the emigration of all who desire to leave the state. This committee have been diligently at work and they have the names of heads of families who represent 78,000 men, women, and children who have signified their desire to leave the state during the approach- ing fall after their crops have been gathered and gtheir settlements made with the land owners, It is not expected that this number will migrate during the balance of the year, but a very large number will leave. The discontent among the negroes is very eat. They are dissatisfied with the present lien law, which operates so as to make the land renter pay enormous prices for all the ad- vances he gets from the commission merchants in order to make his crop; and this same law pate the renters entirely at the mercy of the landlords. The colored man is also dissatisfied because he is not allowed to do jury duty unless he owns land. He is also dissatisfied with the road law. All persons between eighteen and forty-five “isla are required to work and kee] up the public roads and nearly all this work done by the colored men, and the colored men are required to pay poll taxes in addition to their work. Besides, the law passed by the legislasure last winter amending the election law makes it easy to prevent the registration of colored voters, About fifteen thousand colored people, all told, have left the state since last November. Wages for able-bodied men do pot average over $7 per month, accompanied by a house to live in, firewood and one peck of cornmeal, three pounds of bacon and a quart of black molasses foreach week as rations, There are agents for emigration societies scattered all over the state, who ure doing all they can to induce the colored people to leave. Several hundred have gone to California and write that they are doing well. The large proportion of those who have left the state within the last year have gone to thestates further south. Lack of labor in many counties because of the exodus ‘as caused great inconvenience and loss to the farmers and it seems probable that this trouble will be greatly increased during the next eight months. No laborers, white or black, are com- ing into the state to take the places of the emi- grants, o0 Chloroformed the Horse to Death. A peculiar accident occurred at Chester, Pa., last evening. A valuable horse, owned by Max Ochiltree, a well-known business man, broke away from the hitching post to which it was fastened and ranaway. The wagon was demolished and the horse dashed against a tree and broke its back. Chloroform was ad- ministered to I ie it out of its misery, The animal was valued at over $500. stiaie shes Chesapeake and Ohio Railroad. There are rumors in New York of some con- templated changes in the management of the Chesapeake and Ohio railroad. Mr. Hunting- ton has openly stated that President Ingalls had his hands full with the “Big Four,” and to attempt to manage the Chesapeake and Ohio besides was too much for so young a man. This does not coincide with the statement re- cently made that the road had five years’ con- tract with Mr. Ingalls and would not be likel: to break it with aman who had done so muc! to enhance its property. soe News of Stanley. A Zanzibar special cable to the Philadelphia Times says: Stanley is coming down to the coast with Emin pasha, 9,000 men and an en- ormous quantity of ivory. The exact date of their arrival is uncertain. The Germans are doing their utmost to create a disturbance here and a rising against all Europeans is not only possible but highly a Burke Taken to Jail. Martin Burke, the Cronin suspect, was turned over to Sheriff Matson of Chicago yesterday by Special Agent Collins, and was seen during the afternoon by his Attorney, Senator Ken- nedy. Burke was placed in the boys’ department at the joa which is usually regarded as squeal- ers’ headquarters, and the other Cronin prison- ers were placed where they cannot communi- cate with hii Minister Lincoln to the Workingmen. The fifty members of the American work- men’s expedition were entertained at dinner at the Tavistock hotel, London, yesterday. Mr. Lincoln, the United States minister, and Messrs.

It prints ALL THE NEWS, Local, Domestic and Foreign, LONG IN ADVANCE OF THE MORN- ING PAPERS, This is conspicuousty true of all classes of news, but especially so in regard te Local News and District Affairs. THE STAR has a very much LARGER and BETTER force of LOCAL RE- PORTERS and SPECIAL WRITERS than any other paper in Washington ever thought of employing, and ITS MECHANICAL EQUIPMENT AND PRINTING FACILITIES ARE MORB THAN THREE TIMES AS POWER- FUL AND RAPID AS THOSE OF ANY OTHER WASHINGTON PAPER. Itis therefore able to print each day a full report of every transaction of public in- terest occurring in the District up to the very hour of going to press. By the free use of the OCEAN CABLES for REGULAR AND SPECIAL DIS- PATCHES, and with the difference of time in its favor, it is also able to give its readers every afternoon the news of the WHOLE EASTERN HEMISPHERE for the entire day, and up to 12 o’clock midnight, thus leaving Literally nothing in the way of news from Europe, Asia, and Africa for the morning papers. —:0:—_ Equally does THE STAR lead all its contemporaries in the publication of the NEWS OF OUR OWN COUNTRY. Receiving the regular dispatches of both News Associations; with alert and enterprising special telegraphic core respondents at ail important points; and with wires leading directly from its owa office to the general network of telegraph system touching every city, town and hamlet in the United States and Terri- tories, it is enabled to receive and print atonce a full report of every event of consequence occurring during the day anywhere between the Atlantic and Pa- cific Oceans. @ NOTE THE RESULT: @9 — THE STAR HAS MORE THAN THREE TIMES AS MANY REGULAR SUBSCRILERS and MORE THAN | FIVE TIMES AS MANY REGULAR READERS AS ANY OTHER DAILY PAPER IN WASHINGTON. It is de- livered regularly by careful carriers at | the HOMES OF THE PEOPLE, AFTER THE BUSTLE AND WORRY OF THE DAY ARE OVER, and it is thus read@ leisurely and thoroughly by EVERY MEMBER OF THE FAMILY. They know that it prints all the news, and has only the interests of the people of the District in view, with no partisan measures to advocate, and mo private schemes to forward. They kaow it, in short, tobe THE PEOPLE’S P: and nothing else. Asan ADVERTISING MEDIUM it is, therefore, ABSO- LUTELY WITHOUT A RIVAL. It ie in fact worth more as e means of reach- ing the public THAN ALL THE OTHER DAILY PAPERS IN THE CITY TOGETHER. Furthermore, in proportion to the re- turns it gives its patrons, ITS ADVER- TISING RATES ARE THE CHEAPEST IN THE CITY. In conclusion, the public should bear in mind this one significant fact: THE STAK does not rely upon empty boasts to impress the public. ITS CIRCULA- TION IS SWORN TO; its PRESS- ROOM IS OPEN TO THE PUBLIC; and its BUOKS MAY BE INSPECTED by any one having an interest in their examination. These are CRUCIAL TESTS, which tew papers invite, and which those that boast most are least able to stand. —0—— @ The esteem in which THE STAB is held by the reading and advertising public is conclusively shown by the fig- ures given below.
