WESTERN MARYLAND. Davis’ and Elkins’ Railroad Plans— Electing a Postmaster, Etc. Hacrrston, Mp., December 5. There is another movement on the “railroad checker board” which greatly interests this section of Maryland. ‘the West Virginia Cen- tral, of which ex-Senator Henry G. Davis is president and Stephen B. Elkins vice president, is about building aconnection with the Western Maryland. The Virginia Central taps the coal ficlds and runs to Cumberland, where it de- pends on the Baltimore and Ohio to get to Bal- timore and other eastern markets, The Vir- ginia Central claims it cannot get half enough coal to market by this means; hence the con- nection with the Western Maryland. Davis’ road has made the proposition to furnish the money for building the line from Cumberland to Hagerstown, as its line from Piedmont to Cum- | beriand wae built several years ago. Such a connection would give the Western Maryland a desired entrance to the coal ticlds. A confer- ence of the officials of both of the interested roads was held on Tuesday, and the prospects for carrying out the project are bright. Sharpsburg, the home of Doorkeeper Adams of the United States House of Representatives has five or six candidates for the local post- Mmastership. Messrs. McComas and Adams,who awe looked upon as being the powers behind the throne, to relicve themselves of any em- barrassment in the selection of a candidate, suggested that the matter be submitted to a vote of the patrons of the office. This has been decided upon, and an election, at which all who voted the republican ticket at the Novem- ber election are entitled to vote, will be heldon Saturday. 1 candidates who have an- nounced themselves are Messrs. Elias Sping. Jacob R. Edmunds, A. B. Cronise, Jos. Rohr and Win. H. Boyer. Mr. Jus. Hammond, late deputy internal rev- enue collector of this district anda resident of | this city, has leased the house of Don Piatt, on 18th street, Washington, and will remove to that place in a few days, | Messrs.

His nose was broken, and when discovered he was uncon- scious, THE COURT HOUSE AND JAIL, torney General. The annual report of Attorney General Mil- ler contains a number of references to affairs in the District of Columbia, He recommends that the District jail be placed under his own supervision, that a separate wing for female Prisoners be built, that an appropriation be made for the purpose of building » wall about the jail inclosure, that the small pox hospital be moved from within the jail inclosure and that the salary of the warden be increased from $1,800 to €2,500 perannem, ¢ THE POTOMAC FLATS TITLE. He says that ‘the suit for the settlement of the title to the Potomac flats has been pushed forward as rapidly as practicable during the current year. The evidence has been largely taken, and I am advised by the special counsel in charge of the case that it will be ready for hearing at the next General Term of the Supreme Court of the District.” ‘There were five suits brought to trial in the Court of Claims against the District during the | year, claiming 250,064.74, and judgment was rendered in them in favor of claimants for $53,468.34. There are now pending twenty- eight cases, claiming upward of $1,358,960. ASSISTANT DISTRICT ATTORNEYS. In regard to assistant attorneys in the Dis- trict of Columbia the Attoruey General say “The law under which provision is made for assistant district attorneys in the District of Columbia was passed in 1870 and allows only $4,000 for the pay of such assistants. Since the enactment of that law the business within the District has increased to such an extent that the force available with such an appropri- ation is entirely inadequate. Aside from the growth of the District in population, and the consequent increase of criminal business, there is a large amount of civil business in set- tling titles to property, defending suits brought against various officers of the govern- ment and otherwise, for which provision ought to be made, and which can in no way 80 well | be attended to as by assistant attorneys under the general direction of the District attorney and the Attorney Gencral. The appropriation for this parpose ought to be at least” $8,000, instead of $4,000, and unless such provision is made the civil business of the government in the District of Columbia cannot receive that attention which its importance demands.” The report contains a letter from Chief Justice Gingham of the District Supreme Court calling attention to the unsanitary condition of the court house. Referring to the water- closet ventilation Judge Bingham says: We are assured by competent authority that such insufficient safeguards would not be tolerated by the health officers in any build- ing. public or private, under their charge. Perhaps a more serious cause of complaint is the ty arrangement for the supply of external air to the heating system in use througout the building. This supply is supposed to come through two horizontal gratings level with the surface of the ground, thence descending some ten feet toa tunnel, communicating at each end, east and west, with these gratings, This tunnel is about eight fect in height by about six feet in width, the bottom iaid with brick, like an ordinary pavement, and the sides with stone, with anarch at the top. The open gratings admit the rain and the damp air, it is supposed, passes through the length of the tunel and at different points is admitted to the registers opening into the court room. The imperfect paving of the floor of the tunne¥ offers no obstacle to the escape of exhalations from the ground beneath, Thetannel is about 276 feet long and at the points where the air ascends to many of the rooms the atmosphere appears quite nnaffected by the external air, but seems to be dead and disagreeable. That such a system needs prompt modification must be apparent. One obvious remedy would be to erect towers in the grounds surrounding the building, to the east and west respectively of the present grat- ings. through which wholesome air, taken from an elevation some fifteen feet above the ground, could be conducted to a tunnel protected by thick coatings of cement from impurities from the grouad beneath the cellars and from in- filtretions from the masonry at the sides, We are painfully sensible of the necessity of a prompt reformation of these glaring evils, The health officer and inspector of plumbing of the District have each expressed themselves very positively to this effect. We also suggest that the comfort of the justices and the becom- ing discharg: of their duties would be much promoted by a change in the room used by the General Term, which would be aceomplished by the removal of a wall between it and our consultation room and its reconstruction at the opposite end of the chamber.” A NATIONAL PENITENTIARY. The Attorney General says that during the Year 2,287 civil suits and 14,538 criminal prose- cutions were terminated, and there are pend- ing 2,950 of the former and 7,212 of the latter class. The penitentiaries where United States prisoners are confined are in good condition and the convicts are well .cared for « humanely treated. At the present time there is notasingle institution in the country which will receive United States prisoners free of cost. he number of penitentiaries which will receive United States prisoners from outside the state at all is becoming limited, and in some cases the transfer of government convicts from one penitentiary to another becomes necessary in view of the vacillating enact- ments of the legislatures in the several states, He recommends that provision be made for a United States ‘penitentiary and a United States reformatory, the latter being in- tended for the confinement of the milder class Mr. Wm. W. White of this p his duties as station agent at Washington Grove yesterday. SAM. => — STANLEY’S RECEPTION. ce entered upon The Explorer Enthustastically Greeted at Bagamoyo. A meeting between Stanley, Emin Pasha, Capt. Casati and Maj. Wissmann took place Wed- nesday morning at Atoni, on the opposite bank of the Kinghani river. The health of all the | explorers and the usual loyal toasts were drunk | in champagne. All the party arrived at Baga- moyo at 11 yesterday morning. Wissmann had provided horses for Stanley and Emin and upon them they made a triumphal entry into Baga- moyo, ‘The town was profusely decorated. Verdant arches were built across all the avenues and palm branches waved from every window. A salute of nine guns was fired by Wissmann’s force and the same number b: ¢ German man-of-war. All the officers of the expedition Were sumptuousiy entertained at luncheon at Wissmann's headquarters, The captain of the Sperber, on bebalf of the emperor of Germany, formally welcomed first Stanley and then Emin and congratulated them upon their return to €ivilization, roadstead were dressed persons arrived in Baga- from Zanzibar, among them being Nichol, who came on behalf of Sir William Mackinson, president of the Emin Pasha rehef committee; the English consul. Mr. Churchill; Judge Cracknell of the English court aud the German and Italian consuls. A BANQuEr. In the evening a banquet was held and amid & *bod of champagne the German consul, Gen. Steifensand, toasted the queen of E: Wissmann toasteds Jey,cailing bim his master | in African exploration. “Stanley. in reply, said he thanked God he had performed his duty. He *poke with emotion of his soldiers whose bones were bleaching in the forest and re- marked that with him and those of his party the word was always onward, He bore testimony to the divine influence | that had guided him in bis work and then said: | “Emin is here, Casati is here, | am here and all ug gentlemen who went with me are here,” and concluded by thanking Wissmann and the Heraid for their kinduess in sending him stores. of criminals. He urges the establishment of a national prison bureau in the Department of Justice for the collection of statistics in regard to crime in the United State: — Gen. Grant’s Log Cabin. The old Grant farm near St. Louis changed hands yesterday. A stipulation in the convey- ance gives the granter, Capt. L. 8. Conn, the privileze of removing the old Grant log house. ‘The dwelling referred to in this conveyance is the cabin erected by Gen Grant in the fall of 1857. and in which he lived for several years, hauling wood to St. Louis with a team of horses, which was considered an innovation by his neighbors at that time, as ox teams were the usual motive power used for that purpose. Grant is said to have Lewn the logs with his own hands with which to build this cabin, his only assistant being a brother of the present circuit clerk, Judge O. D. Woilf. se. — The Owners’ Fault. The coroner's jury in the inquest on the bodies of the victims of the Minne- apolis Tribune building fire brought in a verdict yesterday, The finding occupies thirty-eight closely written pages. The verdict declares that the owners of the Tribune build- ing. if not legally responsible, are morally culpable for the loss of life. In the opinion of the jury had it not been for the obstruction met with in the electric wires the ladder would have been raised in time to save all the people who were in the sixth and seventh stories at the time of the arrival of the fire department at the scene of the fire, : oo Quick Trarss To New Yorx.—The Baltimore and Ohio railroad is maintaining a complete schedule of passenger trains to Baltimore, Philadelphia and New York.

A AA A AAA F THE EVENING STAR ts a PAPER OF TO-DAY, not of YESTERDAY nor of LAST WEEK. It prints ALL THE NEWS, Local, Domestic and Foreign, LONG IN ADVANCE OF THE MORN- ING PAPERS. This is conspicuously true of all classes 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 a full | report of every transaction of public ine terest occurring in -the District up te _ the very hour of going to press. » By the free use of the OCEAN CABLES for REGULAR AND SPECIAL DISs- | 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 ite contemporarics 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- | Fespondents 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 aud Pa= cific Oceans. ' = @@ NOTE THE RESULT: 9 Smet 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 is de- | -Mvered regularly by careful carriers at | the HOMES OF THE PEOPLE, AFTER | THE BUSTLE AND WORRY OF THK | 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 interests 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 uothingelse. 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. :°c— 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 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. —:0:——— © The esteem in which THE STAB is held by the reading and advertising public is conclusively showm by the fig- ures given below. In the first six months of each of the five years named the average dally cir- culation of the paper was: Equally significant is the showing in regard to the advertising patronage of the paper, which is the surest indication ofits acknowledged value as a medium of publicity. Thenumber of NEW AD- VERTISEMENTS printed in the cole umns of The Star during the first six months of the years named was as fole lows: large increase in both departments of the paper’s business, need no comment. They tell the story of public confidence and demonstrate in the plainest manner possible that THE STAR IS THE RE- COGNIZED CHANNEL OF THIS COM- MUNITY FOR ALL BUSINESS COM> MUNICATIONS,
