6 THE DISTRICT OFFICES. The Republican Central Committee Again Gives Expression to Its Views. There was but » small dttendance at the meeting of the republican central committee last night. Shea's hall was the advertised ren- dezvous, but only sixteen politicians—two of them white—had pat in an up to the time of adjournment. Maj. A. H. 8. Davis, chairman of the committee, was not there to preside, so the vice-president, John W. Freeman, closed his fingers on the reins of office and proceeded to conduct such business as might need to be conducted. The secretary was W. H. Jones. Mr. Perry Carson announced that the meeting really should not have been called so soon, because the committee ap+ pointed at the last previous meeeting was not ready to report. The committee went down to see the District Commissioners on Saturday, be said, but Mr. Hine was away. A second visit was made yesterday, but Mr. Hine was still absent. This explanation — regarded as satisfactory Mr. Carson moved the appoint- ment of three delegates to the general organi- Sation of state republican associations, RESOLUTIONS THAT CAUSED DISCUSSION, ‘This also was approved by the meeting and then the following resolutions were offered: ede inst Officer; J. 8. Petty, auditor, District of Columbia; Thos. &. Entwisle, inspector of buildings; E. G. Davis, collector of taxes; A. G. Kiddie, attorney, District of Columbia: Wm. G. Moore, major and ge ecaeon, Tat itis the boanden duty of every member of this committee and our representa- tives to use all legitimate means to remove in- competent snd dishonest democrats from the pabile service, and be it further Resotved, That & copy of the foregoing resolu- tons be forwarded to the President of the United States. An interesting discussion followed, initiated by Perry Carsou’s motion to strike out the name of Maj. Moore. He explained that there were other ways of reaching the major, and intimated that a congressional committee would probably endeavor to lift his official scalp. OBJECTIONS TO THE ADJECTIVES. Ex-Gov. Gleaves insisted on striking out the words “‘and dishonest.” He was most emphat- ically in favor of a clean fight andit was wrong to mention the names of gentlemen and then in another aph refer to democrats in office as generally dishonest. W. H. Jones wanted the word “incompetent” cutout. It was untrue, he said. The trouble was these men were too competent. That, however, should not receive consideration. ‘They out to be fired out because they were democrats. z The audience was evidently in sympathy with Mr. Jones’ sentiments, and, if Perry Carson had been absent, would have made the proposed amendment. But Perry was not absent, and when he got through talking about the street cleaning, or rather the lack of street cleaning, it was finally decided to remove the words ‘‘dis- honest” but to allow Roose mare to remain. Then the resolutions were adopted. DELEGATES TO THE GENERAL MEETING. Along discussion then took place over the manner in which the three delegates pre- viously provided for should be appointed. Several gentlemen expressed themselves as being in favor of seve! lans, but Perry Car- son once more came to the rescue with a few brief but potent remarks and the meeting at once coneluded that Chairman Freeman should do the appoiuting. One colored member wanted the delegates appointed at once, but Perry Carson sawed the floor from under him witha motion to adjourn and a point of order. The defeated one said it was all the same to him. His only reason, he said, for wanting to know who would be delegates was simply curiosity, for he expected to go to Europe ina day or two, At this he chuckled softly, but as Mr. Carson did not smile the others present maintained all the appearances of decorous gravity. Before the meeting became disintegrated Perry Carson announced that the central com- mittee would be in session in the same hall on the evening of Tuesday the 24th instant. The looked-for report would be there, the entire committee would be there, and the symptoms pointed to a generally large and especially good time. —_—_+—__ Odd Fellows in Annual Session. The Sovereign Grand lodge, I. O. O. F., was ealled to order in Columbus, Ohio, yesterday by Grand Sire John ©. Underwood. There were present one hundred and sixty-two dele- gates, representing every state and territory in the United Stctes, all the jurisdictions of Canada, besides Denmark and Europe. Past Graud G@tardian John W. Perkins of Massa- chusetts qualified and Past Grand Archer of Columbus was appointed assistant grand messenger of the session. The report of Grand Sire Underwood says that the .0.0.F. was never 4 more prosperous condition. The follow- ing figures show the strength of the organiza- tion: Number of white Odd Fellows on the globe January 1, 1389, independent order, 65: Manchester unity, 688,492; total, 1.341.275. Fully one quarter of a million more than that reported by the next largest civilized secret society. In the morning the grand body was received at the board of trade rooms, where the wel- come addresses were delivered by Gov. For- aker and Mayor Bruck, to which responses were made by Grand Master J. L. Mckinney of the Ohio Grand lodge and by Grand Sire Underwood. . —————ee+_______ The Harlan County, Ky., Assassins. Gov. Buckner of Kentucky has issued a proclamation to the people of Harlan county urging them “to respond promptly to the sum- mons of the civil authorities, to obey them im- plicitly in their attempts to arrest and bring to speedy justice, or, if resisted by force, to shoot down, under the orders of the authorities, the assassins who threaten, in your midst, the peace and welfare of society. ——— ar Bob Younger Dead. At Stillwater, Minn., Bob Younger, the Mis- souri outlaw, died of consumption last evening atthe age of thirty-four years after an im- prisonment of thirteen years. Hisremains will probably be taken to his native county of Jack- son, Mo., for interment. All the Youngers claimed that Bob never participated in any lawless act or excursion except the Northfield affair. Ce es Fighting for the Capital. A St. Paul dispatch says: The South Dakota eepital fight waxes warmer and in some sec- tions is becoming very bitter, bribery being charged. The opposition to the booming of Pierre by the Woonsocket capitol investment company are all arguing against a location in- fluenced by speculators, but at the same time each is doing all ible to secure the coveted plum. Redfield withdrawn from the race, and one report says her capitalists have m- vested at Pierre and will assist that town, while another makes Huron the gainer by the with- drawal. A Yankton paper asserts that Sioux Falls agents have offered political backers 5,000 to influence that county in their favor, but the Yankton sentiment is favorable to Pierre. The latest action is the purchase at Watertown of 320 acres of land by the farmers’ alliance of the new state,on which to erect their own mammoth manufacturing plants, and they are said to be in the fight as backers of Watertown, which makes that place claim the vietory. ————-ree_____ Died of Yellow Fever. The steamer Cairngorn arrived at quaran- tine, New York harbor, on Sunday, with John Wood, @ fireman, who died at 6 a.m. of that day. The remains showed symptoms of yellow fever and an autopsy which was made con- Srmed these symptoms, The steamer was thoroughly dimnfected, ———— ee ____ An Anti-Mahone Conference. Aconference has been called by Gen. V. D. Groner, formerly chairman of that wing of the republican party in Virginia: who oppose Gen. Mahone’s plan of party organization.

Grouer in his personal cay ity, #8 it is understood he does not feel that be com lately and THE BALTIMORE’S FAST RUN. Taken to be an Indication of the Su- perlority of American Plans. The successful trial trip of the new cruiser Baltimore last week, the particulars of which were given at some length in yesterday's Star, forms the main topic of conversation in naval circles just at present and is taken by most authorities to be an indication of superiority of American plans and workmanship over those produced in foreign countries, A comparison of the Baltimore’s achievement with those of similar vessels built across the water gives the credit altogether to the former. OPINION OF COMMANDER GLASS, Commander Glass, who was a member of the trial board, called on Secretary Tracy yester- day and talked enthusiastically about the trial. He thinks that the results obtained with the Charleston and Baltimore are to be attrib- uted solely to the superior excellence of skill and workmanship of American shipbuilders and mechanics, He finds that the lines of the hulls are more nearly perfect, the skins smoother, and the boilers, engines and ma- chinery of such excellent material and work- manship that contrary to the practice else- where it was possible in the cases of the new American cruisers to show a better result and higher speed at the end of several hours’ hard running than at the beginning. Another note- worthy fact was the comfortable condition of the fire and engine rooms. A duplicate crew had been provided, with the expectation of relieving the firemen in two-hour turns, but after the first two hours of the run the first watch refused to quit work and insisted on running the ship throughout the entire four hours’ trip. ACCOUNTING FOR THE FAST RUN. Notwithstanding the favorable reporta already received of the vessel's run, there are people ready at this time to decry the per- formance. Excuses are offered to account for the high speed. One person said yesterday that the vessel was light when she made her best run, having burned up most of her coal the day before, while on another side is heard a claim that the contractors contrived to shove overboard during the night a good part of the pig iron placed on the sip to compensate for the weight of guns, &c. To account for this the idea is advanced that the officers of the trial board were asleep or else not in a condi- tion to distinguish the movements of those around them. Such a libel on the integrity of the members of the board does not meet with any approval, of course, at the Navy depart- ment, but the idea has already gone abroad nevertheless, IN CONTRADICTION OF THIS isthe statement made by Commander Glass that the vessel was loaded down with pig iron to a point even in excess of her draught when fitted with guns and stores, and amply demon- strated her strength, Her seaworthiness, he said, was particularly excellent, and under full speed—or twenty knots—the vibrations were very slight, the greatest vibrations being about the forecastle and pilot house, but not notice- able on the lower decks. SECRETARY TRACY CONGRATULATES EX-SECRE- TARY WHITNEY. Secretary Tracy yesterday sent the following telegram to ex-Secretary Whitney: “Permit me to congratulate you on the mag- nificent performance of the Baltimor EX-SECBETARY WHITNEY'S RESPONSE. In response to the telegram of congratulation sent yesterday by Secretary Tracy to his pred- ecessor on the successful trial of the new cruiser Baltimore the following dispatch was received this morning at the Navy depart- ment: Lenox, Mass., September 16. To the Secretary of the Navy, Washington: Many thanks for your kind dispateh. I have feltcertain the resuli would be satisfactory, as I do also that you will counnue to raise the stand- ard and in time register much higher results than these. W. GC. WHITNEY. A WOMAN’S BUCKET-SHOUP. How the Woman of Chicago Gratify Their Love For Stocks. From the Chicazo Tribune, A reporter gained access to the place. It is a medium-sized room piainly fitted up. The customary black board covers one wall and a Brussels carpet the floor. The “costly tains” consist of plain shades; the ings,” a picture of a patent corset, The only article that could possibly be defined as bric- a-brac was a cuspidor, and it had several ciga- rette stubbs. Twenty or thirty cane-seated chairs were occupied by as many women, The majority were pronouncedly middle-aged, a few were positively venerable, the remainder being near that reminine point of life which is not dated. Not one of the women bear any appearance of being in afiluent circumstances. None were Fichly dressed, whila several were verging on abbiness. The impression which an ordinary gives an observer—that its hab- itues are playing away their grocery money— suggested itself here. Half a dozen of the women crowded around ker superintended by a young man in his shirt sleeves, ‘The rest watched a little boy in a Fauntleroy suit playing at chalking up fig- ures on the blackboard, “This is a pleasant room,” ventered the re- porter to a portly woman in faded viack. “Yes, it is real nice. Mr. Bradley tries to make everything pleasant for us.” “How heavily do they speculate here “O my, I don’t know,” the portly female re- plied. “Some ladies buy as much #10 worth, but most of them, I guess, invest #2 and $3 at a time.” Don't they ever sell—sell short? Well, now, really I am afraid we ladies don’t quite understand that—at least some of us. But some of us make money. That young lady near the window with a white featlier on her hat made $6 yesterday. How much did she lose first? O,I couldn't say. There was a lady friend of mine who used to come here who lost $20, though. She told her brother all about it, and said she couldn't see why she couidn’t make instead of losing. He said he didn't see why acolt couldn't wade across a river without getting its feet wet. But then he wasaman and men are so unsympathetic. Look at Fanny Blinn on the big board. she’s made hundreds and hundreds of thousands of dollars aud she’s a woman. We would all buy over there if we had money enough; but we have to begin.” The manager said he didn’t care for any notoriety. They were not advertising this place, though the female habitues might tell their friends about it. “There are plenty of women who want to speculate,” he said, “and you know many brokers object to taking their business. It's too small and they think women are ‘kivkers,’ Bradley & Co. might as well have their busi- ness. , And Bradley & Co, probably rake in a good income in $1, $2 and 35 investments, es Berenice Mrs. Hamilton Again Indicted. In addition to the indictments found against Mrs. Robert Ray Hamilton by the New York grand jury as mentioned in yesterday's Stan the grand jury at May's Landing, N.J., con- sidered her case and found an indictment against her of atrocious assault and battery, She will probably be cailed to plead today and be pinced on trial tomorrow. Great interest was manifested in the case by those attending court, and at all times during yesterday groups of men were noticed sturiug at the window which was supposed to shield the now notorious woman. Robert liay Hamilton attended the opening of court, as also did Mrs. Rapp of Noli cottage. Nurse Donnelly has so far recovered from her wounds that she is able to take her meals down stairs and will appear against her former mistress when the case is called for trial. Mrs. Hamilton entertains stroag bo} of being able to free herself from the clut of the law. —+ee«____. Malietoa and Mataafa at Manona.

Within a short time one of the most interest- ing topics of discussion in political quarters will be the probable population of the country as returned by the eleventh census and the new scheme of apportionment, All sorts of estimates have been made in relation to the Population. Some have been roughly made by adding 30 per cent to the returns of 1830, and the forecast of 65,000,000 has generally been accepted, Not one of these estimates, how- ever, has shown the population by states, and hence the Press has undertaken to do this by the aid of the state censuses of 1885 and by the vote at the last presidential election. For convenience a table is herewith ap- pended showing the number of electoral votes on arepresentation of 192,999 to a congres- sional Tistrict, which would give us the present number of en plus the members from the new states (390); also the number of electoral votes on the basis of 215,000, 220,000, 225,000, and 230,000 to a congressional district, ‘The states have been divided into republican, democratic, and doubtful.

A Democratic Estimate. From the St. Louis Republic (Dem.) It is not now possible, of course, to forecast accurately the result of redistribution of power among the states, but an approximation can be made which canbe relied on as close to the proportionate strength of the great geograph- ical sections, the west, the south and the north- east, If, in order to illustrate the changes likely to take place, we assume the total population of the states as 60,000,000 and divide that number by 825, the present number of Congressmen, we will have 184,615 as the basis of representa- tion in Congress as against 151,912, the present ratio, This gives the strength of the sections in the electoral college as follows: 08) 4an4 ‘The states here reckoned in the northeast are all east of the Alleghanies and north of the old line of slave territory.

John Lawton’s Romantic Death-Bed Marriage with His House Keeper. A Providence, B.L, special says: The death- bed marriage of John Lawton, past national supreme ranger of the has invested the closing scene of his life with a touch of romance. Lawton wasa man of considerable meansand had a big and generous heart. Touched with the devotion of Clara Louise Eli- nora Fogg, his house keeper, he offered her his hand and heart ashe lay dying with but an hour of life to live. The person to whom he of- fered tu devote the remainder of his existence (about 59 minutes) did not ask for delay nor toy with the offer. She was no coy maiden, but & matron of thirty-five, who hadpassed through a period of miserable matrimony ago. She had nursed him with tender solicitude and with unselfish devotion, and had rofased to be relieved of duties trying enough to trate the most robust woman. He a) to beso desirous of being accurately informed as to his condition that he created an impression that if there had been an: ss of recovery he would have reserved his hand for some other woman, to whom rumor says he was engaged in New York. But the medical men were positive nothing could save him. His horse keeper had gone into the bed chamber with a tray containing delicacies, when Mr. Lawton beck- oned her to his side. “I want you to do me a favor,” he said, “I want you to marry me. I have but a few hours to live, and I want to make you some return for all your goodness and attention. Will you have me?” The proposal almost took away the house keeper's breath, “It won't be for more than an hour or two,” said Lawton, thinking that Mrs. Fogg was un- certain about committing her future to his keeping. His explanation had the effect of making Mrs. Fogg cry, and through her tears she promised to be John Lawton's wife for bet- ter or worse, come weal or woe. Half an hour later the Rev, Mr. Plummer read the marriage service at the side of that death-bed and Mrs. Fogg became Mrs. Lawton. {n less than another balf hour she was Widow Lawton and her husband was being prepared for the grave. Mr. Lawton’s estate,which goes to the widow, is valued at $50,000, but his relatives will try to get it on the ground that Mra, Fogg, having @ husband living, was not legally free to marry, soo IN TWENTY-EIGHT BATTLES And Can Freely Say That He Never Got “Used to It.”” From the St. Louis Globe-Democrat. Col. James M. Thompson gave his opinion as follows: “The quality of courage in battle I re- gard as being to a large extent a physical attri- bute. Ihave heard a good deal of talk about the nonchalance of men in action and their ease and composure after the first gun was fired, but I never took much stock init. I went through the war in the army, aud it was my fortune to be in a portion of the service in Virginia where there was a good deal of hard fighting to do, and there wasn’t any creditable way to get out of it, either. I saw service in twenty-eight battles and I can freely say that I for one never got ‘used to it.’ I never went into a fight without an all-pervading sense of danger, and was always glad when it was over. Of course moral courage, high patriotism and the military spirit kept the great majority of men right up to the mark, but there were notable instances of men whose physical natures simply failed to respond when called on. They could not-possibly go into a fight. Aclear head and @ full conception of the enormous consequences of cowardice to themselves failed to spur them to the staying point, and on the first whiz of a bullet their signals of distress were visible to all in sight. A well-known New York colonel, & perfect acer! a scholar, a patriot and a really noble fellow, was so weak in point of courage and his humiliation so great at really being afraid to face danger that he was forced to retire from the army, went to Washington, pined away and died in a few weeks, I knew another prominent officer whose friends, out of consideration for his well-known failing, used to manage, on one pretext or another, to keep him out cf engagements and thus shield him from exposure Men like that are to be pitied, not blamed. hey want to fight, but their bodies actually refuse to obey their will.” soo Died of a Broken Heart. “She died of a broken heart” is what might be written over the grave of Mrs. A. B. Adams, who was buried in Macon, Ga,, Saturday. Just six months ago her son, Jonathan Adams, to whom she was unusually attached, preceded her through the dark valley. He hadbeen one of the leading cotton dealers of the city and enjoyed excellent credit. The discovery of numerous forgeries threw him into prison. He refused to eat and continued his determination of starvation until his death followed, From that day his mother was no longer herself. Her health began to decline and change of location failed to benefither. There was norelief. She was brought home, where she gradually grew weaker until the tired spirit sank to rest. a An Indian Attack Feared.

His bail was fixed at $1,000, which was promptly furnished and Hannigan left the court room. "_____ eee --_ The Boston Girl Never Gets Left. This story of the Boston girl abroad is con- cocted by the London Illustrated News: “The Proprietor of a fashionable West End hotel does not receive young ladies who are unac- companied by chaperons, even though they hail from the United States.

It prints ALL THE NEWS, Local, Domestic and Foreign, LONG IN ADVANCE OF THE MORN- ING PAPERS, This is conspicuously true of all classeq of news, but especially so in regard to 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 MORE THAN THREE TIMES AS POWER- FUL AND RAPID AS THOSE OF ANY OTHER WASHINGTON PAPER. Itis therefore able to print each day « full report of every transaction of public in- | terest occurring in the District up te | the very hour of going to press. —:o:——— By the free use of the OCEAN CABLES for REGULAR AND SPECIAL DIS- PATCHES, and with the difference of time in its fuvor, it is also able to give its readers every afternoon the news of the WHOLE EASTERN HEMISPHERB | 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. —r—— 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 cor- respondents at all important points; and with wires leading directly from its own 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 Pe cific Oceans. —0:_—_ @& NOTE THE RESULT: 29 —0: —— THE STAR HAS MORE THAN THREE TIMES AS MANY REGULAR SUBSCRIBERS and MORE THAN | FIVE TIMES AS MANY REGULAR READERS AS ANY OTHER DAILY PAPER IN WASHINGTON. It ts de- livered regularly by careful carriers at the HOMES OF THE PEOPLE, AFTER | THE BUSTLE AND WORRY OF THE TAY 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 ipterests of the people of the District in view, with no partisan measures to advocate, and no private schemes to forward. They know it,in short, tobe THE PEOPLE’S PAPER, and nothing else. Asan ADVERTISING MEDIUM it is, therefore, ABSO- LUTELY WITHOUT A RIVAL. It is in fact worth more as a 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. —0:—— In conclusion, the public should bear in mind this one significant fect: 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 BOOKS MAY BE INSPECTED by any one having an interest in their examination. These are CRUCIAL TESTS, which few papers invite, and which those that boast most are least able to stand. —o: — & The esteem in which THE STAR is held by the reading and advertising public is conclusively shown by the fig ures given below. In the first six months of each of the Equally significant is the showing tn regard to the advertising patronage of the paper, which is the surest indica¢ion of its acknowledged value as a medium of publicity.
