This is a guarantee to adver- tisers that is given by few papers in the world, and by none oer in Washington! THE BIG WATER MAIN, Engineering Diticulties Overcome— Gen, Boynton Praises the Work. Washington Correspondence of the Cincinnati Com- mercial-Gazette, The Commercial-Gazette was prominent in *mposing the frauds in construction which led the abandonment of the most notorious Washington aqueduct tunnel after it had cost the country and the District of Columbia over ® million dollars each. It has, therefore, kept ® close watch on the substitute work, the great 48-inch main, which has been in progress since last August, and which is already on the eve of completion. Just in porportion to the sweeping and just condemnation of the former work and manage- ment is the praise which is due to all concerned im the present project. The prompt and thorough preparations and the rapid and ex- eellent execu ion reflect great credit upon the corps of engineers, and will go far toward re- moving the unfavorable impressions which were wide y th»:1 unjustly visited upon this corps. For. .s:. matter of fact, this most com- Petent and distinguished corps was not respon- sible for the tunnel project or its fraudulent execution. : In the present work the chief of engineers, Gen. Casey, has shown what can be done. Selecting his men, first Col. John M. Wilson, and when the latter was ordered to West Point, Col. George H. Elliot, vigorous measures were adopted to do what Congress directed, Ramely, to complete in the shortest possible time the new project for increasing the water supply of Washington. FOUR MILES OF MAIN. The plan was to Iay considerably over four miles of 43-inch main heavy enough to be safe under the pressure due to 100 feet of head. In connection with this there was to be laida mile of 30-inch main. Connections were to be made with the system of pipes now in use at each of about forty street crossings, and these mains were to be carried through, under or over all the subterranean obstructions of long- established city streets. Each length of the great main weighs nearly five tons, and the valves for closing it at suitable intervals weigh ht tous and a half. ’ "The moment Col. Wilson received assurances from mem) ‘3 of the committee that Congress ¢ $575,000 estimated as the cost he sent word to all the establishments able to turn out such castings that the moment he could legatly do so he would be ready to solicit bids, Thus all preliminaries were ar- ranged before the appropriation bill | pee and when it was signed there was no other de- lay than the legal advertising required and the opening bids and awarding contracts. The work of laying the mains began under Col. Ellict about the middle of last August. The autumn was very stormy. The winter has been open and almost continaslly fit for out door work. Up tothe Ist of February there had been 115 working days and in that time there bas been laid almost four miles of the big main and over oue mile of the 30-inch pipe. Less than half a mile remains to complete the work. 1t will then be finished several months within the allotted time, and what is equally creditable for about $125,000 less than the esti- lates. REMARKABLE ENGINEBRING, The management has at several points been remarkable in its methods of execution, Although the mains weigh four tons for each length of about 12 feet and requires 100 pounds of lead for each joint, by special castings of curved lengths it has been possible to wind the main either latterly or vertically wherever the obstacles encountered demanded. One use of these arms was to run the line around sev- eral beautiful shade trees that otherwise would have been 5: If all public ofiicers would follow ( Miot’s example in caring for trees it would be commendable. ‘There was one part of the work which re- quired very delicate and peculiar treatment and which shows some of the resources of modern engineering. For some distance the trench for the nvain had to be laid along a nar- row road which had itself been carried through solid rock. Under each side of it were trenches sunk iu the rock by blasting for the old mains which now supply the city, and the distance between them was only a few inches more than the diameter of the big main. It was decided to blast out atrench for the latter between the other two, and to do it without shutting off the water from them. The operation of blasting out this rock within few inches of the old mains running full of fr under 100 feet of pressure, and on which the present supply to the city depends, was @ most delicate one and it required a good deal | of confidence and courage to undertake it. The breaking of cither one of these mains would have cut off one-half the present supply to Wasbington, and in case of a large fire happen- ing iu the city before the main could be re- paired the result would have been most disas- trous. The method of operations may be thus described The trenches which had been blasted ont of the rock for the old mains were | @ littl wider than the mains themselves, and | the earth having been removed from the ‘nar- | Tow spaces between the wall of rock and the | mains on each side, they were filled with as many thicknesses of boards as was possible, and in this way an elastic cushion was formed, and so effectual was it in preventing the shocks of the blasts of the dynamite from reaching the mains that noteven @ leak atthe Joints was caused by them. AT THE GaTE HOUSE ‘The works about the gate house can not be described in a brief letter. They are on a scale which makes « deep impression upon non- professional observers and which elicit the combined praise of the latter class. Col. Elliot bas not only added to his already brilliant rep- utation as an engineer, but he has both the Congress and the citizens of Washington under lasting obligations for so promptly relieving the prolonged water famine of the city. Thus a great public work when pushed under the direct auspices of the chief of engineers by an officer of his choosing has been completed within the set time and at a cost of only three- fourths of the estimates. This is the record as against the tunnel scheme which had costs JP Stowell, Mrs. Fannie Ree Sergeant, Lucian Squiers, Mrs. Jane Snow, Mrs. Dora B. Smith, Mrs, A. T. Taggart, Miss Adeline M.

FAMOUS WOMEN WHO SAT BESIDE HER ATA BAN- QUET—HER SEVENTY YEARS OF LIFE—SENATOR BLATE RECOMMENDS A WOMAN'S CBYSADE IN THE soUTH. The toast was “St. Susan.” All drank to it— in cold water-and Phebe Couzins made the speech. Susan B. Authony sat at the left of Senator Blair, and a company of the most re- markable women in the world were assembled. The seventicth birthday of Miss Anthony was celebrated by a dinner at the Riggs Satarfday evening. Asshe sat there, surrounded by the skirted knights of her long crusade, Miss An- thony looked no older than fifty, but she had got a good etart into the first day of her seven- ty-first year before the dinner came to a close. All the famous woman suffragists were assem- bled there to do her honor. Mary Wright Sewell presided over the banquet. Elizabeth Cady Stanton, that venerable and beautiful old states- woran, satat the ee of Senator Blair, lookin: as if she should be the lord chief justice, wi her white hair puffed all over hor bead, and her amiable and intellectual face marked with the lines of wisdom. Isabella Beecher Hooker, whose face reminds one of her great brother, with the stamp of genius on her brow, a bunch of white curls [ Saesyt at the back of her head and a wild energy of intellect ex- pressed upon her face, sat at the left of Miss Anthony, and little further on sat the daugh- ter of Mrs. Stanton, Mrs. Harriet Stanton Blateh. Clara B, Colby and Phebe Couzins sat near Mrs. Stanton. Old John Hutchinson, the last of the famous singing family, bis white hair and white beard forming a fringe about his shoulders; Clara Barton, her breast spark- ling with Red Cross medals, and a hundredand fifty other women of wide fame were there. It Was as interesting and striking an ussemblage as ever gathered around a banquet board, THE RECEPTION. Before the banquet the guests assembled in the red parlors of the Riggs, where a levee was held and congratulations were showered upon Miss Anthony. 1t was after 10 o'clock when the line was formed and the guests marched down to the dining room, Miss Authony, on the arm of Senator Blair, leading the way.’ About two hundred and fifty people formed the com- pany and the women could have oatvoted the men about three to one. ‘The dining room was decorated from the ceiling to the floor with flags and streamers. A long table, handsomely decorated, was placed on an elevated platform lengthwise of the room near the east wall for the honored guest of the occasion and those who were given the honor of seats near her. In front of this table and filling all the avail- able space in the large dining ball were ar- ranged little tables, seating from five to eight persons, each table crowned by some graceful potted plant At each plate was a menu card with a spray of golden rod paimted on its face and looped with a bow of yellow ribbon—the color of the cause. The women assembled there were from all parts of the country. THE GUESTS. Among the guests were Miss Mary Anthony, Susan &."s sister; the brother, Col. D. B.

Mary Wright Sewell some time near midnight announced the feast of reason to fol- low the other feast, The menu was: Toast, “St, Susan, Our Valentine, one day behindhand, but not too late for service,”— Phebe Couzins. “The Modern Peripatetic,” by the Rev. Anna H. Shaw. Rhymes, “‘Susan’s Wedding,” by Margaret Stanton Blatch. “Miss Anthony as Fellow Worker,” by M.

Poem, “Auld Lang Syne,” by Isabella Beecher Hooker. “Courage in Public Life,” by Senator Blair, “Miss Anthony at Home,” by Mrs. Marsh Parker of Rochester, “The Friendship of Women,” by Mrs, Stanton. When Mrs. Hooker had given her poem, “Auld Lang Syne,” the whole company aros¢ and eo verses in a very stirring fashion, and at the close of all Miss Anthony was loudly ealled for and made an appropriate speech, One of the brightest after-dinner speeches was that by Mrs. Elizabeth Cady Stanton, in which she cupmred 4 power of subtile humor which would have done honor to Chauncey M. Depew. Senator Blair said in the course of his re- marks that Mrs. Stanton had asked him if he could think of anything new they could do for the cause. Two things had occurred to him. One was to give the young people true light on the subject in the school house, where women were a power, and the other was to make acrusade onthe south. He advised them to = down into the south with their best speakers and to overcome all prejudice, ‘Lhe sontbern people are generous and quick to ac- knowledge it if they find they are wrong,” he said. ‘They are not like us of the north; they do not try to maintain and hold to errors they have committed. When they find they are mistaken they come out frankly and say so.

A great many complaints are being received at the District buildings ou accountof the muddy water which comes through the service pipes, When a Staz reporter called upon Capt. Lusk, who has charge of the water department of the District, for the reason that gentleman said: “Yes, I understand there is much complaint from consumers on account of the bad condi- tion of the Potomac water, but this department has nothing to do with it, and therefore cannot remedy the existing state of affairs. The trouble seems to be,” continued the captain, “that the connection of the new 43-inch main with the lower reservoir necessitates the empty- ing of the latter, and the water necessary to supply the city comes directly from the river, withont having a chance to settle, 80 you see the degree of clearness depends upon the con- dition of the river. Idonot know how long this condition of affairs will continae, but I am of the impression that everything will be straight in a couple of weeks and the people of Washington will have clearer water.” ——— THE WOMAN’S CONVENTION. Members-of the Two Associations Mect Today in Joint Session. This morning at 10 o'clock the memberso the American woman suffrage association held a secret,executive session in the parlors of the Riggs house, preliminary to the con- vention which begins tomorrow. The National woman suffrage association held @ similar meeting this morning in parlor 27 of the Riggs house. At 2:30 this after- noon the two association came together and held @ united meeting, the first in the history of the two organizations. They have always been working along the game lines and with the same objects in view, but under different ofti- cers and with somewhat different methods, The convention this week is the first of the two in union and may result in a closer connection between them for the future. sie oso For an Inebriate Home. The managers of the mass meeting to be held tomorrow evening at the Metropolitan M. E. church in favor of legislation to establish a home and hospital for inebriates in this city expect a large attendance and interesting ad- dresses, The meeting will be held under the auspices of the Good Templars, but all who are interested in the proposed movement have been invited to co-operate. Justice W. 8. of the Supreme Court will preside and Dr. W. Godding, Rev. W. A. Bartlett, D.D., District Commissioner J. H. Douglass, Hon. J. J. Hemp- hill of South Carolina and B. H. Warner, esq., will deliver addresses. een The Proposed University Club. The District slumni of the University of Virginia will mect Saturday evening at the resi- dence of Mr. W. D.

Ifwe may judge from editorial views ex- ‘eat newspapers of the united commission is a masterpiece of diplomacy. Newspapers of all shades of political opinion profess to be entirely satisfied with its findings, proving their own cases from points in their favor, and entirely ignoring what is said against them. Tho Times itself still believes the re- port will be accepted by the public as entirely confirming its assertions. The Standard saya it entirely convicts Parnell and his associates of all the public ever believed against them, while the Daily News declares the innocence of the defendants to be absolutely vindicated. The Pall Mali Gazette asserts it a glorious vic- tory, and the Star says it is clearly a verdict of not guilty for Parnell and his fellows, ‘The Mauchester Ecamumer gays the report warrants all the charges brought against the nationalists, while the Manchester Guardian congratulates the Irish leaders on escaping scatheless. The Liverpoo} Courier says all right-thinking men ought to be driven away from Parnell’s shady connections, while the Liverpool Post hol that the Times’ cage has completely broken down and the Liverpool Mercury, says Parnell comes out without a stain. The New York Herald, suys the report is a complete verdict of guilty, while the Newcastlo Leader says it is practically an acquittal The Birmingbamn Guzte says the charges are proved up to the hilt, while the Bristol Mercury says Parnell’s glory is more brilliantly and clearly proved thanever. The Edinburgh Scotsman says Mr. Parnell cannot be congratulated on the ‘result, while the Scottish Leuder says he has supremely triumphed. The Freeman's Journal of Dublin says it is an absolutely crushing judgment against the Times, while the Dublin Express says the moral weight of the verdict against the defendants is undeniable—and so on throughout the length and breadth of the land, Every paper is perfectly satisfied with the re- port and argues the conclusion arrived at from its Own particular point of view, A Result of Russian Prejudice. Louis Rubenstein, America’s champion figure skater, who defeated all competitors the other day at St. Petersburg, will not receive first prize after all. Last night the Montreal Ga- wtte received @ special cable from St. Peters- | burg as follows: ‘Rubenstein, though deteat- | ing competitors, has been refused first prize; judges changing minds, thongh announcing Rubenstein champion when competition was finished.” This result is due entirely to Ru- benstein being a Jew. In a letter to his family a week before the contest came off he expressed fears that his religion would interfere with his gaining the prize. Tho matter has been brought to the attention of the cabinet at Ottawa, and Sir John Macdonald and Secretary of State Chapleau say that the thing will be looked into, A Compliment to Mr. Reed. From the New York Sun. Thomas D. Reed, an enterprising agent of the Appletons in this city, recently found him- self in a very embarrassing, although lucky, situation a few days ago while innocently pur- suing his daily labor. Soonafter the delegates to the Pan-American congress reached Washing- ton Mr. Reed concluded that the gentlemen would be glad to invest in Appleton’s new “Dictionary of American Biography.” At the first opportunity the work, with the capvasser's card attached, was laid before the delegates, | cluded that she was | While not personally interested in the work, | little impudent. they concluded that it was policy to invest, and upward of $1,000 worth were purchased. But Reed was not yet satistied and made another raid, this time on the delegates whom he had not met during his first visit. Upon his second venture the canyasser encountered a Mexican, upon whose mind he endeavored to impress the great importance of the work for quick reference, &c, “Oh, yes,” the yon er said, “I dare say it is @ very important work, but the sales you made when you were here before were under a misapprehension.” “I don't understand you, sir,” said Mr. J, “Well, the facts are that the delegates who bought your books felt that it was cecmhent rest James came along and said to the prisoner: “Don't go; be can’t take both of us.” The officer proved better man him to be, aud both were taken, James, of course, would not go without resisting, and it only added to his trouble, for in addition to a charge of vag-ancy the officer with resisting «wrest.

Love and Smuggled Diamonds Lead to Murder and Suicide. Isaac Jacob of Brooklyn killed Herman Roy- ozinsky at daybreak yesterday morning in s stable st 47 Ridge street, New York. From there he went tothe murdered man's residence, 54 Ridge street, to kill his wife Johanna, She was coming through the door as he approached and he shot her with a revolver. The ball ep- tered her neck close to the jugular vein. Her eighteen-year-old son Otto leaped at the mur- derer of his father before a second shot could be fired. Jacob turned and fied, but seeing two police officers approaching placed the muz- zle of the revolver to his own temple and fired. He fellto the ground and died ina few min- utes. Mrs, Royozinsky ran toward the Delan- cey street police station, She had just strength to reach it, when she fell unconscious on the floor. The police followed her bloody trail, and eee pata time to witness the last act in the edy, ‘arious causes led to the shooting. The trouble began three years ago. At that time Jacob is said to have smuggled $7,000 worth of diamonds into this country and, fearing dis- covery, turned the diamonds over to the mur- dered man to keep for him. When the danger was over Jacob asked for the return of the diamonds. Royozinsky, it is said, refused to give them up. This led to a quarrel and Jacob threatened the other's life. Another cause is found in the fact that Jacob was enamored of Royoziasky’s niece. His suit prospered until it was learned that he had a wife and children living with him in Brooklyn, Then they refused to allow him to enter the house and Jacob beoame furious, Jacob went to the house at 4:30 o'clock yes- terday morning, knocked on the door and told the Royozinskys that somebody was trying to steal their horse, The elder Royozinsky is an expressman. He tressed himself, and, accome panied by Jacob, crossed the strect and entered the stable, which was just over the way. In the stable yard Jacob placed a revolver against Royozinsky’s breast and fired. The ball went through Royozinsky’s heart and he fell dead without a word. The wounded woman was taken to the hospital in a precarious condition, The ballet entered her neck and was taken out half way down her back. On Jacob's dead body was found a letter written in very bad ‘nglish, It is said that he was born in Russia was a citizen of the United States, He sold of having been swindled out of money and of law suits in which he was engaged and which protited him nothing. Ohio Sues the Union. Attorney General Watson of Ohio is coming to Washington tonight on business of financial importance for Ohio. This state now has a suit pending in the United States courts against the general government to recover the sum of $400,000, The ground for the suit existed prior to 1512, the time of the admission of Obio as a state. During the territorial days Congress authorized a compact by which certain lands were to be exempt from taxation, and upon the payment of a certain sum of money by the ters ritorial government the federal ‘government agreed to build the federal road from the At- lantic ocean to the Mississippi. The road was started at Cumberland, Md., and brought west over the Allegheny mountains, passing through Ohio by way of St. Clairsville, Columbus and Springfield. The road was completed us far West as some part of Illinois and abandoned. Now the claim is made that by reason of the failure on the part of the national government to complete the road the state has a right to re- cover the amount named, and for this purpose suit was entered several months ago. ‘The at- torney general will examine the records thor- oughly that @ correct understanding may be reached, see A $2,000 Horse Stolen. Rob Roy, a $2,000 trotter, with a record of 2:20 to his credit, was ‘stolen, as it is alleged, about three weeks ago from the stable of his owner, Patrick Sheridan, a councilman and ex- tax collector of Elizabeth, N.J. On Friday night Mr. Sheridan found his missing trotter at Hill Brothers’ stables, 829 Hicks street, Brooklyn, and when his demand for its return was refused he went to the stall in which the horse was ticd, and, taking him by the head, started to lead him from the stable. He took this course on the advice of his lawyer. The superintendent of the stables had him arrested and taken to the Butler street police station, where he handed the sergeant more than $4,000 and several yaluable diamonds for safe keep- ing. ——— Wille Saved the Train. As the 11:55 o'clock south-bound passenger train on the West Shore railroad was approach- ing a forbidding-looking rock cutting near Kingston, N.Y., Suturday the engineer noticed a/lad standing on the track frantically waving a big red bandanna, As the train came to a standstill the boy was asked what was the matter. “Big rocks on the track in Fitch’s cut,” he breathlessly piped out. The engineer ran for- ward and found @ large quantity of rock and dirt peda] the south-bound track, He real- ized that hadit not been for the quick-witted boy he and the passengers might have been tho victims of an accident. ‘The passengers, grate- ful for their narrow escape, made up & purse of money for the braye boy. ‘The name of the brave youngster is Norman Smith, aged eight rie half years, a son of William Smith of Vilbur. The Sawtelle Mystery. Thousands of people yesterday visited the locality near Rochester, N.H., where the dis- membered body of Hiram A. Sawtelle was un- earthed. There were no startling develop- ments, but many minor matters have been brought to ligh: strengthening the chain of evidence against the murdered man’s brother Isaac, The body was fully identified. The theory that the murder was committed in New Hampshire is supported by the statement made by Joba Willey, w loggmg team driver, who says that he passed a carriage supposed to have contained Hiram and Isaac in eee woods, and a few minutes afterward heard three shots in surcession. A number of other people _ say that they heard the firing. The missing head has not yet been found, — . ul oo Why She Was Impatient. From the New York Ledger. ‘ Asa Boston horse-car was going north the other evening, with a young lady and an old gentleman as sole passengers, the maiden ex- hibited symptoms of impatience at the slow progress mada. The car had to halt for a team on the track, and she would have got off but for the gentleman, who said: “It’s only for | half a minute—don’t be impatient.” Then the car waited two minutes on a switch, aud she put her head out of the window, then got out, walked up and down, and was on the platform when he said: . there comes the other car. You seem so impatient that I am led to believe that some of your family are sick, Is it so?" “They are all unusually well,” she replied, as she took her seat again, One block more and the car left the track, She waited half a minute to see if it could be hauled ou again right away and then she started £0. “Lt will be all right in a minute,” protested the old gentleman.

THE EVENING STAR is offered to the pubs lic, in good faith and with confidence, as THB BEST LOCAL ADVERTISING MEDIUM IM THE UNITED STATES. In point of fact, it may be truthfully said that it is without am equal in this respect any where in the world These averments are borne out by the figures given below, which are compiled from the sworn weekly statemeuts priuted in the paper on each Monday in tie year, and condensed from the sworn tabular statements showing the average daily circulation of the paper daring the year 1889, publisbec ip Tux Strap on the 18th of January, 1890, Briefly stated, the points upon which the above claim is based are these: That— 1. The Star hae three times the circu- Jation of any other paper in Washing= ton! 2. The Star’s circulation in Washing= ton fh double that of ail the other dally papers published in the city added to- gether!! 3. Phe Star bas a larger and fuller circulation im the city where printed, in proportion to reading and purchas: ing population, than any other news Paper in the world!!! 4. The Star has the largest regular and permanent home circulation of Any two-cent afternoon paper im the United States 111! In support of these claims and to show the constantly increasing circulation of the paper, attention is invited to the figures following: DAILY CIRCULATION IX 1885-86-87-88-89, 1885. 1886.

Of this number, 21,142 were delivered daily by regular carriers at the homes of permanent sub- scribers. ‘The remaining 6,740 copies represent the sales over the office counter, at the news stands, and by newsboys. But of this latter number a very large proportion is supplied reguiarly to per+ manent residents of the city living in lodgings, &c. (not householders), so shat ite whole circula tion may be literally said to be in the family circle, While its aggregate circulation there fore gives Tae Sran a distinctive and enviable position in modern journalism, the fullness of its home circulation, the extent to which it is relied upon by members of the household, and particularly by the pure chasing portion of the community, are the marked characteristics of the paper, to which no other daily journal now published can furnish a parallel. This is no idle boast on the part of the paper, It is a well established fact, demonstrated to the full satisfaction of the sagacious and entere prising business men of Washington, who seek and know where to find THE LARGEST RETURNS FROM THE MONEY PAID OUT FOR ADVERTISING. This is proven vy the growth of Tux Stan's advertising patronage. Nothing can more esteem in which any article is held by the public than « constantly increasing demand for it—day by day, week by week, month by month, and year by year,—in the face of ad- verse claims and pretentious competition. The figures following tell the story on this point: NUMBER OF NEW ADVERTISEMANTS YRINTED Bf 1885-86-87-88-80. 1887. 3,615 3.47 4,669 3,478, 3,393 4,522 BBSt 3,170 4,517 3,313, 5.038 aT TH TLE ERRERE PHL i ii zi i rE ! ij increase of advertising is shown. The larger space required for advertisements during the year 1889as compared with that occupied im 1888 is even more striking. The average daily space filled by advertise. ‘ments in 1888 was 25.10 columns, or 7779 columns in the way of tax sales, poll lists, election returns, etc., such as occasionally swell the business of political organs, being included im its patrom age. In conclusion, it is only necessary to say that, in proportion to the extent and high charactet Of its circulation, Tux Stan's advertising rates take rank with the very lowest in the country, ‘and to add, finally, that every statement herein made can be sbundantly verified.
