An Early Morning Excitement at the Washington City Asylum. There was a fire at the Washington City Or- | phan Asylum, corner of 14th and S streets, this morning that did cons-derable damage. The good training of the children averted a panic. It was about 4:15 o'clock when the sick nurse, Mrs. Tyler, got up and went to the bedside of s sick child. She smelled smoke, and hastening to the window discovered that the structure used as 4 boiler house and laundry was on fire. Mrs. Tyler hastened to the room of Mrs. Wright, the matron, and the latter awakened her son, Dr. W. B. Wright, who is dentist for the institution. TURNING IN THE ALARM. Dr. Wright ran in his night clothes to the fire alarm box, No. 257, which is.in the build- ing, and turned in an alarm. Then he halfdressed bimself and ran throngh the building to where the fire was. By this time the fismes. which started in the boiler on the lower floor. had eaten their way through the ceiling into the laundry above and the whole inside of the building was amass of flames. Closing the doors bebind bim to keep the smoke trom the main building the doctor rished out into the yard and opened the gates so there was nothing to impede the progress of the tiremen. 1He FIREMEN, Hardly three minutes had elapsed after the alarm was struck betore ne and hose carriage arrived and the firemen were ready fer action. Portunately there was no oil or grease the boiler room to feed and read ihe flames. The firemen — went ork with a will aud soun subdued the flames. ‘there was a brick or two out of the wall be- tween the main building and the boiler room, whieh permitted some of the smoke to pass through into Memoria! hail, which is in the main buitding. This caused considerable apprehen- sion among the people in the institution, who thought that the main building was on fire. MUST! THE LITTLE ONES. Mrs. Wright gave orders to the children to put on their shoes and go to the cnapel. } of the little ones had been aroused “tire” and they were up and at the see the boiler house and laundry go up in smoke. The children iehaved nobly and in a few minutes they were all in the chapel awaiting further orders from the matron. There was no rush or fright displayed by the children, and the affair sed off without a single acci- dent. One iittle sick child had to be removed frow its bed and taken to another part of the building. [his was the ouly person in the building who displayed any sign of fear. THE FIRE AND ITS OnGIN. The flames were extinguished by the firemen without sounding either a second or general alerm. There was tire in the two large boilers. but they were uot injured to any extent. Tae origin of the tire is not known. but it is sup- posed to have ignited trom a gas jet which was left lighted near the Loil The exact amount of the damage cannot be Stated, althongh it is thought that 1,000 will cover all losses. The building is fully insured. LORGE'S COUNTY. Point Cadetship—Legislative Notes Personal. Correspondence of Tar EVENING Star. Hyartsvitte. March 29, It is regardedas possible here that the ebange in the representation from the fifth congressional district of Maryland may affect the status of the appointment of the cadet to West Poiut Military Academy from this dis- triet. Mr. Compton's appointment was made through competitive examination held in the public school building here last August. In that examination Archibald Wells, son of Dr. ©. A. Wells. democrat, of this town was awarded the tirst place and Grant Ammen, son of Admiral Ammen, republican, received the second prize, or alternate’s place. Young Wells was notified when the appointment was made that it was subject to the contest pending in this district. When the contest was decided by the seating of Mr. Mudd young Wells wrote to the incumbent requesting him to notify him of hie pleasure in the matter, but as vet has not been instracted as to what will be done. Should Mr. Mudd decide uot to allow the present ap- pointment to stand young Ammen, it is thought, may fall heir to the cadetship. Adil was passed some weeks ago by the Meryland legislature authorizing the county coramissioners of Prince George's county to issue bonds to the amount of $80,000 to put the county finences om a cash basis.

The fourth auditor of the Treasury is at work just now upon the examination of the claims that are being presented by the suarvi- vores of the Samoan disaster of a year ago. The bill recently approved making pro- Vision for these claims did not specify eny definite amount, bat stipulated that no one should receive more than the amount of one year's sea pay. It is estimated that it will take fully 100.000 to satisfy the claimants, who are to be reimbursed for all property lost on the wrecked vessels clothing, books. and other ttels, ‘Lhe amounts range from 0, the latter being the sum claimed the other day by an officer. It is requisite that all such claims should be accompanied by au itemized state- ment of the articles lost. as far as is possible, and it is these lists that are being closely seru- ized by the clerks of the auditor's office. The a does not give very definite instructions to the accounting offcers to the distinction to be made be- tweea “lost” aud “damaged” property, and this fact using some little trouble in the adjusine f the cssimes.

Reports of Terrible Losses in the Flooded Districts. J.J. Hogan of the Memphis Commercial has just completed a tour of the flooded region in the lower Mississippi valley. He says the situ- ation is alarming and that in his opinion the vihas not reached the highest notch. In Lavonia circle, which is situated in Despa Y. Ark., and comprises about 20,000 acres, isa heartrending one. ‘This strip of country is pow inundated to a depth of five to twenty feet and the inhabitants, numbering between 2,000 and 3,000 people—whites and ne- groes, women and children—are perched on house tops and in the trees, alreacy drowned are maintaining a precarious sou existence with their wretched owners, in some | instances on the roofs of residences and clse- where on improvised platforms of wreckage. Starvation is telling on the cattle, while the human victims are in scarcely less deplorable condition as to food. From Helena the entire Mississippi delta country, reaching from Vicks- burg west to Shreveport and down to New Or- | leans, seems doomed to destruction. Mr. Ho- gan reports that all the people iu the wide dis- trict there are fleeing for their lives, A DIFFERENT ACCOUNT. The following dispatch, dated Memphis, has | beea received from John P.

In point of fact, it may be truthfully said that it is without am equal in this respect any where im the world, These everments are borne out by the figures given below, which are compiled from the sworn weekly statements printed in the paper on exch Monday in the year, and condensed from the sworn tabular statements showing the average daily circulation of the paper during the year 1889, published in Tue Sras on the 18th of January, 1890. Briefly stated, the points upon which the above claim is based are these: That— 1. The Star has three times the circu- lation of auy other paper in Washing- ton! 2. The Star’s circulation Washing- ton is double that of all the ether dally Papers published in the city added tee gether!! 3. The Star bas a larger and fuller circulation in the city where printed, im proportion to reading and purchase: ing population, than any other newe: paper in the world!!! 4. The Siar has the largest reguiar and permanent home circulation ef any two-cent afternoon paper in the United States !!!! In support of these claims and to show the constantly increasing circulation of the papery attention is invited to the figures following: ALLY CIRCULATION IX 1885-86-87-88-88, 1SS3. 1886. 1887, ISSs, 1889, -20,456 23,388 25,470 26,356 27,841 Fes...22,029 24,321 26,299 27,161 29,200 Max...235,549 25,594 26,009 27,490 34,766 APR...22,572 24,727 25,575 27,166 20,852 May. 32,474 24,359 25,742 26,722 28,6 23,000 24,687 26,466 26,753 (31,653 22,123 23,692 25,458 27,082 30,000 increase ....... 1,558 1,503 1,598 3,008 Of this remarkable average aggregate of 30,090 copies circulated daily, no more than 1,102 copies are sent out of the city by mail, and 1,106 go to suburban places, by express, railway traing, etc., leaving as a net circulation in the city proper the PHENOMENAL PRO- PORTION of 923 PER CENT, or AN AGGRE- GATE of 27,882 copies! Of this number, 21,142 were delivered daily by regular carriers at the homes of permanent sub- scribers. ‘The rempining 6,740 copies represent the sales over the office counter, at the news stands, aad by newsboys. But of this latter number a very large proportion is supplied regularly to per manent residents of the city living in lodgings, &c, (not householders), so that its whole circula tion may be literally said to be in the family circle, While its aggregate circulation theres fore gives Tue Star 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 te the full satisfaction of the sagacious and enter+ prising bueiness men of Washington, who seek and know where to find THE LARGEST RETURNS FROM THE MONEY PAID OUT FOR ADVERTISING. This is proven by the growth of Tue Star's advertising patronage. Nothing can more surely illustrate the esteem in which «ny article public than a 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 «KINTED Bt 1885-86-87 88-5 1885. 1886.
