The Senate reached a vote on the sundry civil appropriation bill late Saturday afternoon and the bill was passed with number of amendments, some of which were of local in- terest. The amendment as to the proposed Latin- American Memorial Library, which was passed over without action some days ago, was taken up. the question being on Mr. Hawley's motion | to amend it by striking out the provision for a building to cost $500,000, and by substituting &@ provision for a section of the Library of Con- gress to be known as the Latin-American Memorial Library, and appropriating €25,000 for its outS:. The motion was agreed to and «iment as amended was agreed to. y Mr. Morrill! was adopted 0,000 for an additional fire- © use of t! nal Ma- seum on the ground west of the Smithsonian Tastutution. Mr. Morrill also offered an amendment for the acquisition (for a building for the Supreme Court) of the square of ground between East Capitol street and Iistreet northeast opposite the square on which the library building is being erected. He said that he had no idea that the ground could be purchased now at $700.00). He thought that perhaps 1t could be the ame: obtained for $500,000, The amount was lim- ited to that sum and the amendment was adopted. Mr. Vest offered an amendment. which was adopted. appropriating $135,000 for the pur- chase of the Glove printing office on Pennsyl- Vania avenue, in order to provide accommoda- tion for the Government Printing Ontice. Other amendments of interest here were: Inserting an item of $5,745 for pa: the widow of the late Chief Justice Waite, sum being equal to the ba salary. Inserting an item of $1.000 for an oil por- | divided by raised golden pegs, while the center THE PHILADELPHIA’S GLUCK. A Handsome and Valuable Gift to the New Cruiser. From the New York Times, Sunday. ‘The new four-thousand-dolisr silver and gold clock which the people of Philadelphia have presented to the recently built cruiser bearing the name of their city is saidto be the hand- somest piece of work of the kind in America, The gift was inspired by a similar act on the part of a wealthy Baltimore citizen who pre- sented the cruiser of that name with a valua- | ble library. Not to be outdone by the donation of her sister city the patriotic souls in the city of brotherly love have given to their battie ship atoken of unending reverence for the name and the flag she so proudly beara, The design of the clock embodies the sey- eral features of the coat-of-arms of the muni- cipality, and the workmanship, alike beautifal and intricate in design, represents the skill of Philadelphia artisans only. The dial face is of silver. surmounted by a golden eagle with | outspread wings. On the right is a full-length figure of a woman in classic garb, holding @ roliof parchment. To the left stands a sim- ilar figure, carrying the horn of plenty. | Below the face of the clock is a shield, on | which is engraved the hull of a ship, snr- | mounted by crossed guns and encircled by @ laurel wreath. A cable forms a frame about the clock case, aud in loops at each of the upper corners there is a fouled anchor. Two draped American standards stand ont grace- fuily around the dini, and beneath the “choppy” sea at the feet of the female figures are two scrolls. ohne bearing the words *-Phila- delphia Maneto,” and the other, “U. S. 8. Phil- adeiphia, The crowning beauty of the Philadelphia's clock is the silver dial. The minutes are of the face bears the shield of the city’s arms, with the plow and the ghip im clear relief, Above it, and also in clear relief, is the arm of Justice with the suspended balance. ‘The hands | are rich golden scrolls. ‘Lhe eagle and the female figures were todeled trom life, and the ship is acopy of the old frigate Constitu- tion. ‘Lhe ordnance is of the new high-power type, designs having been furnished by the Navy Department. The movement of the clock is nothing if not nautical. It is constructed with*a balance wheei ou the the principle of a watch; conse- quently the pitching and tossing of the sea will not affect its movement. The escapement is a trait of Chief Justice Marshail, to be hung in the robing room of the Supreme Court. Inserting a provision requiring the Botanic Garden to be kept open for curriages from Ist to 3d streets during reasonable hours, to be fixed by the joint committee on the library. Iuserting provisions for obtaining a site for abuuding tor additional secommodation for the Government Printing Office, appropriating 0.000 therefor and requiring the land to be adjomng or im the vicinity of the present building. A Noble Life Ended. the Piditor of Tar Evextne Star. arcely a month ago since one of the bright- estand happiest homes in Washington was made desolate by the death of Jobn J. McEl- houe, whose devotion to his family was almost without parallel and whose untiring efforts to render his houschold a happy one were fre- T quently commented upon, not only oy intimate friends, but often remarked by others. During Lis list illness Mr. McElLone’s sole thought was for his devoted wit soothed the we hus dear children, wh trained wad for whose futu solicitous, There ¢: the esteem and gi whose loving minis- ¥ hours of pain, and m he bad so carefully welfare he was ever n be no strovger proof of “at respect in which the late john J. MeBi e was beld by all who knew him personally, as well as by those who knew him ouly by reputation, than the numerous ers received by Mrs. McEihone since the death of her husband. Among those who wrote to express their sympathy were Hon. J. Proc- tor Kuott, ex-See Bayard. Dr. Charles Martin of the na John Russell Young, ex- minister to China; Mr. Moffit and many other prominent meu wizose names I failed to obtam. Sorrowful was the journey from Washington to Atlantic City when only a slight hope re- maiued of prolonging that precious lite, but everything was done to gratity!the longings of Mr. McEllone and every suggestion of his phy- sician immediately acted upon. The family will ever remember with deep gratitude the at- tention of the railroad compary in promptly tendering the use of a special private car in which the invalid was conveyed to Atlantic City with as little fatigue as possible. Mr. MeEihone leaves behind him a most in- teresting family of sons and daughters. The latter having been educated at a French con- vent are fine linguists and excel in music. A more devoted and united family I have never known, nor could there have becn a happier “nome circle” than that over which the gloom of death as so recently cast its shadow. The younger children cannot realize the great loss they bave sustained, but the others have a sor- row in their hearts which willnever pass away, while the grief of one who was a most loving and devoted wife is deeper than words can ex- press. MEM. ———_— Obstructed Streets. To the Editor of Tar Evextxe Sta Every resident who uses a vehicle of any kind is. or should be, grateful to the press, which caused the opening of Pennsylvania avenue south and west of the Treasury building. Fif- teenth street at that point is no longer choked with travel. Two other improvements of the same kind are much needed. The south line of the intersection of 7th street and the avenue is crowded, night and day, to the danger point. That street is the chief thoroughfare for vehicles bound for South Washington and oming from north 8th and 7th and Louisiana Pennsylvania avenues, The cable cars and Lorse cars stop there for the exchange of their Bumerous passengers. From early morning till after mightfail the place is crowded with eable and horse cars, carriages, hacks, buggies, Yens, wagons, hucksters’ carts, bicyclists and pedestrians. At the point where most space is heeded the distance between the curbstone and the cable car track is 17 feet. leaving ut 15 feet clear for vehicles. Ac- nts are, of course, of frequent occurrence. Another dangerous place is the intersection of 9th and F streets north, Itis the dread of ell drivers and wheelmen. In each place relief ean be had by relinquisbing for public travel a Portion of unused public ground. ‘The District Owns the lot just west of 7th street and south of the avenue and the Commissioners have the er to remove the sidewalk at that point and x the widtu of the lot twenty fect westward. | ‘This would give u passage of thirty-seven feet between curb and car track at the halting place of the cable cars and push the halting place of the horse cars twenty feet to the west- ward. At 9th and F Congress should authorize | the enlargement of the intersection by adding | to it the southwest corner of the Interior De- partment lot. Acurved fence would be pret- | tier than a right-angled one and the public couvenience would be greatly promoted.

It is not yet known whether the young girl who was found dead im a shaliow brook at Salem, N.Y., where the water was less than eighteen inches deep, was murdered or com- mitted suicide. Nine months ago it was Maggie Hourigan of Greenwich, only twelve miles away, who was the victim. Now it is Tina Allen of Salem, Then it was an humble servant girl, now it is the talented and accom- plished daughter of one of the wealthy and most aristocratic families in Washington county. Their surroundings in life were widely different, but the circumstances of the deaths of the two girls have many features strangely similar, Miss Allen left home about 6:30 last Friday morning, which was the last time her family saw her alive. About two hours later her dead body was found in a little brook about one mile from her home. Her hat was pinned to a log which forms part of the bridge which crosses the stream. A little above and by its side was a bunch of crumpled flowers — she had carried in her hand during her walk. The body lay quite close to the bank with the head upstream and under the branches of aa overhanging willow. The small boy who made the discovery waded into the brook and drew the body to land, Heip was soon ob- tained and the remains were brought to the girl's home in Saiem. Coroner Millington of East Greenwich, the same officer who held the inquest over the remains of Maggie Hourigan, wa» summoned and impaneled a jury, which viewed the remains, The jury adjourned to await the result of an autopsy. ‘The villagers scout the idea of foul play and insist thatit is suicide, as did the people of Greenwich in the Maggie Hourigan case, The inquest will be held today and there may be new developments then. The girl's full name was Christine Lansing Allen. Her grandfather was Judge Allen of the New York supreme | court, and at one time member of the court of appeals, Her father has been county judge, aud the whole family 1s well known and dis- tinguished. She was twenty years oid, beauti- ful, talented and uccomplished. So ‘far as is known her life had been a happy one. It is re- markable that the manner of her death, the bridge, the hat, the log, the shallow water and all the surroundings of the affair are almost identical with the case of Maggie Hourigan, the mystery of whose death has never been stead of siriking the hours, the chime of bells, with witch the clock is provided, strikes the ship's bells in couplets, in true nautical style. FATHER STEFFENS’ COOK. Her Husband Accuses the Priest of En- ticing Her Back to the Kitchen, From the New York Sun Sunday. A suit for $25,000 damages has been begun against Father Aloysius Steffens, pastor of St. Joseph's Roman Catholic Church, Woodhaven, L. L, by John Bauss. who accuses the priest of alienating the affections of his wife, Mrs. Rosa Bauss, and keeping her concealed from her husband. The papers in the suit were served on Father Steffens a week ago by Bauss’ at- torney, Oscar Richter, 230 Broadway, New York. Mrs. Bauss’ maiden name was Rosa Zimmer. She had been employed as cook and house- keeper by Father Steffens ever since her arrival in this country several years ago. Bauss mar- ried her eight months ago and went to live ina hovel kept by August Kegreiss. Mrs. Bauss’ sister, Kate, who lately arrived in this country, succeeded to the place of housekeeper and cook for Father Steffens. It is alleged that Mra. Bauss continued to spend the greater part of her time in the priest's house. Her husband demurred, and she told him that she was giving ker sister lessons in cooking. Finally Father Steffeus invited the couple to make their home with him, ‘Lhey remaiued in the priest’s house for about two months, when Mr. Bauss left and returned to Kegreiss’ hotel. Mrs. Bauss, how- ever, remained in the priest’s house. Bauss told his story to some of the leading members ot the church, who advised him to lay the matter before Bishop Loughlin, It is said that the bishop gave Bauss a letter add:essed to Father Steffens commanding him to turn Mrs. Bauss out of his house at once, Bauss delivered the letter to the priest, He has not seen his wife from that day to this, Early Tuesday morning five weeks ago. it is alleged, Mrs Bauss, escorted by Father Stet- fens and accompanied by Dr. Vawurf, the priest's stable boy and a woman whose name is not given, left Woodhaven and walked a mile away to Union Station, where they took a train for Manhattan Crossing, est New York, It is said they carried two well-filled valises, They got off at east New York and took the elevated train to Tiliary street. Their subse- quent Movements are not known. Although Bauss has frequently seen his sister-in-law and the priest, he has been unable, he suys, to learn anytiring .of his wife's whereabouts, He therefore began suit against the priest for damages. Immorality is not charged. Father Steffens refused to say anything concerning the affair, -oo______ XCITED, Rumors of a Revolt Against Ferdinand at Sofia. VIENNA A startling rumor spread through Vienna Saturday evening that Sofia was in the throce of a revolution; that Zankoff’s partisans had risen against the iron rule of Stambouloff and that Prince Ferdinand’s fate was hanging in the balance. The Viennese hardly slept Satar- day night. Yesterday morning the suspense was general, as also Was the sentiment that the storm that has closed over the Buikans is on the point of bursting and scorching Europe with its lightning. ee See He Lost His Nose for an Hour. From the Griftin (Gs.) News, On Wednesday morning at the Kincaid Man- ufscturing Company's mill, near this city, Charlie Ballard, a son of Riley Baliard, had the misfortune to have his nose entirely severed from his face by a fast-running belt which had slipped off from a puiley and the edge striking him on the side of the nose cut entirely through. Dr. J. M. Kelicy was summoned to the wounded man’s relief as soon as possible, and he responded at once. When he reached the place, which is about a mile out, and had seen the injured man, he inquired for the nose, which it seems uo one in the excitement | caused by the accident had thought of. A search was made for the missing member, and it was found in a pile of trash on the foor where it had failen; it was taken and washed in hot water until it became warm and was put back in place, the wound properiy dressed, and when done hardly showed that it had ever been severed from the facs, and it is likely to get well. The space of time between the acci- dent and that of placing back the severed mem- ber was about an hour. Iron Industrial Crisis in Germany. The iron, steel and coal industries of Ger- many continue in a critical position. ‘The Rhiueland-Westphulian pig iroa manufactur- ers’ coavention has proved powerless to main- tain the convention prices.

A Fort White, Fla., special says a negro named Green Jackson was lynched there Fri- day by neighbors of Mrs. Kobert Prichard, a white woman whom he had outragea, The womun’s husband killed Joe McBray several weeks ago and has not yet been arrested, aud Jackson went to Mrs. Prichard’s house Monday and told her that her husband was concealed in the woods near by. He succeeded in decoy- ing her to a place called ‘The Sink,” and there seized her and threw her to the ground. She fought like a tiger, but Jackson choked and beat her till she became exhausted and then outraged her. He fled into the forest and when the woman recovered sufficiently to arouse the neighbors_a mob started in pursuit. ‘They ran him down Wednesday night, brought him into Mrs, Prichard’s presonce for identti- cation and Friday night hung him toa tree near the railroad switch at Herlong. His body was riddled with bullets and when the east-bound passenger train came through it was still hang- ing there. There is great excitement and noue ot Jackson's friends dare to cut the body down. ——_—_—_+e0_____ MRS. FRANK LESLIE AT HOME, Says There is No Truth in the Stories About Her Matrimonial Intentions. Mrs. Frank Leslie arrived by the City of Rome last night. She sat in her apartments in the Gerlach in the evening and told several re- Porters that there was absolutely no truth in the stories which have been printed alleging that she had engaged herself to marry the Marquis de Leuville. Mrs. Leslie made the denial as strong and sweeping as possible and concluded it by the statement that she had not the slightest intention of marrying anybody. “I went to Europe about seven weeks ago, she said, “because Dr. Thompson, my physi- cian, said that I must really go away or di My lungs were seriously affected and I coughed so violently that it interfered with my diges- tion.

In point of fact, it may be truthfally said that it is without am equal in this respect any where in the world, Thes8 averments are borne out by the figures given below, which are compiled from the eworn weekly statements printed in the paper en cach Mouday in the year, and condensed from the sworn tabular statements showing the average daily circulation of the paper during the year 1889, published in Tus Stan 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 circa- Jation of any ether paper in Washing= ton! 2, The Star’s circulation in Washing- ton Is doubic that of all the ovber daily Papers published im the city added to- gether!! 3. Whe Star has a larger and fuller circulation in the city where printed, im proportion to reading and purchas: ing population, than any other news paper in the world!!! 4 The Simr bas the largest regular and permanent home circulation of any two-cent afternoon paper in the Tnited States !11t In support of these claims and to show the constantly increasing circulation of the papery attention is invited to the frures following: PAILY CIRCULATION IN 18S5-86-87-88-88, ISS3.

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, cnd | by newsboye, But of this latter number a very large proportion is supplied reguiarly to por- manent residents of the city living in lodgings, | &c. (not householders), so that its whole circula Circle, While its aggregate circulation thero- fore gives THe Sran a distinctive and enviable | posiiion in modern journalism, the fullness of {ts home circulation, the extent to which it is relied upon by members of the household, and particularly by the pur= chasing portion of the community, are the marked characteristics of the paper, 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 enter- prising business men of Washington, who seck and know where to find THE LARGEST RETURNS FROM THE MONEY PAID OUT FOR ADVERT G. This is proven by the growth of Tux Stan's advertising patronage. Nothing can more surely illustrate the esteem in which «ny article is held by the public than a constantly increasing demand for it—day by day, week by week, month by monti, and year by year,—in the face of ad- verse claims and pretentiouscompetition. The figures following tell the story on this point: NUMBER OF NEW ADVERTISNM.NTS *RINTED Et U8K5-S6-b7 NS, ISS7. ISSS.

The larger space required for advertisements during the year 1889 as compared ‘with that occupied im 1888 iseven more striking. The average daily space filed by advertise ments in 1888 was 25.10 columms, or 7779 columns for the year; whereas for the year 1889 the daily average was 29.75 columns, or 9223 columns i the aggregate, being a total gain over the pre vious year of 1444 columns! And this, it mast be remembered, consisted exclusively of the ordinary everyday business advertising, nothing in the way of tax sales, poll cists, election returas, etc., such as occasionally #well the business of Political organs, being included in its patrom age. In conclusion, it is only necessary to say that, é fm proportion to the extent and high character Of its circulstion, Tux Stan's advertising rater take rank with the very lowest in the country, and to add, finally, that every statement hereis made can be abundantly verified, THE CIk- GULATION OF THE PAPER IS SWORN TO; TTS PRESS AND CIRCULATION ROOMS ARE OPEN TO THE PUBLIC, AND ITs BOOKS MaY BE INSPECTED BY ANY ONE HAVING 40 INTEREST Di THEIR EXAMINATION,
