& Arecently published work on “TheArtof Advertising” says: “A point which will afford reliable information as to the value of a publi- cation as an advertising medium is the close- ness with which the publisher adheres to his advertising rates.” Ta Stan invariably holds to its rates; and, what is of greater importance to the advertiser, it charges everybody the same price for the same service.

A remarkable fatality has attended the Lewis- Thomas will case, now pending before the ebancery court of the city of Richmond, Dur- ing the argument Col. John H. Guy, one of the counsel for the White heirs, died and the case was postponed. At the last term of the court Judge Fitzhugh finally heard the case and an- pounced that he would render his decision at the October term. Since that he has died and now the whole case will have to be heard over again. About 200.000 is involved in the case. ‘W. A Thomas, a wealthy merchant of Rich- mond, on his death bed gave all his stocks, bonds and money in bank to Betty Lewis, the daughter of his colored housekeeper. with whom be had lived for years. His white rela- tives are attempting to have this gift set aside and the property given to them. ‘The case bas been on trial for over two years and there are twelve lawyers engaged on both sides, Mr. Richard N. Brooke, the artist of Warren- ton and formerly a resident of the city of Washington, has returned home after an ab- sence in Europe for the last three years. The lands in the rich county of Fauquier, ac- cording to the assessment just made, show a decrease in value of over =1,500,000 as com- pared with the assessment made in 1885. The cotton factories at Petersburg give em- ployment to 1,000 hands and are now working ‘only three days in the week on account of the scatcity and high price of cotton. Lots to the value of $80.000 were sold at Basic City in afew hours one day this week. The iron and coal lands in the vicinity are being developed rapidly. Northern capital is coming in daily and large investments are con- stautly made. E. J. Bond, collector of taxes for the Peters- burg district. found his accounts short over 000, and Tuesday paid the amount out of his own money and resigned the office. The indications are that the census will show an increase of 250,000 population in Virginia, Mrs. Stonewall Jackson is at Basic City, near Waynesboro’. 5 Mr. A. E. Bateman has retired from official connection with the Atlantic and Danville rail- Gov. McKinney is spending a few weeks at Blue Ridge Springs : The State Normal Institute is in session at Stuart. oe The losses by the recent fire at Virginia Beach footed up 24.500. Rev. Dr. W. W. ams, rector of Christ Protestant Episcopal Church, Baltimore, was stricken with paralysis at Blue Kidge Springs yesterday. The new Baptist church at Clifton has been burned. Endeavors are being made to have a faic at Richmond this fall after it was decided nox to bave one. One-half the required sum needei for the purpose has been raised. Miss Bayard, daughter of ex-Secretary Bayard. made a remarkable escape from death at Warm Springs. She had driven to “Flag Rock,” the highest peak there, and in attempt- ing to turn the buggy around was thrown over a precipice. She fell forty feet, but, strange to say, was not burt. Haney Garret, who set fire to a house in Lebanon, has been sent to the penitentiary for ten years. Being a woman saved her from hanging, as capital punishment is the penalty for arson in Virginia. Lynchburg is the second richest city, per capita. in the state, which is $397, or with per- sonal a ad valuation $500. Prof. B. Smith. prmecipal instructor of mathematics at Richmond College and con- sulting actuary of the Life Insurance Company of Virginia, died yesterday of hea:t trouble. = — MR. QUAY’S MEDAL OF HONOR How He Stayed to Fight at the Battle of Fredericksburg. Washington Letter to Scranton Republic. The Medal of Honor Legion is an association of oldsoldiers of which the country hes not heard a great deal. The members of it are all heroes and can only become members because of conspicuous acts of heroism and self-sacri- fice in the service of their country on the bat- tlefield. Only those are eligible who have re- ceived the bronze medals granted by act of Congress in 1862 to ‘such officers, non-commis- sioned officers and privates as shail most dis- tinguish themselves by their gallantry in action and other soldier-| i A few months ago a movement was started to join all the living medalists in an association. und this bas been done through the efforts of Col. M. A. Ditlon and # number of well-known veterans here. Each medal represents a story or a series of stories calculated to make the heart beat quick and the eyes dilate with interest sekelemelion. Sonate Quay of Pennsylvania is the only man who wears tle medai of honor who did not himself apply for it. The Senator is generally considered ‘a bold. bad man in politics,” but he is very modest in pushing for- ward when the point to be gained is purely personal to himself. Senator Quay was colonel of the 134th he contracted typhoid fever at Falmouth, Va., opposite Fredericksburg, in the latter part of 1862. He was so broken down by the disease that his friends urged him to resign his commission and go home to recuperate. Finally Col. Quay yielded. When his dis- charge papers were handed to him by Gen. Tyler the latter said he regretted that the colonel was leaving just at that time, as they expected a battle very soon. On hearing this Col. Quay refused to ac- cept his discharge papers and declared his in- tention of waiting for the battle. Gen. Tyler told him he would be foolish to do this, in view of his broken health; besides, the papers were there and he was a private citizen. If he went into the battle he would be sure to be killed and he had better go home and get well. “Well,” Col. Quay answered, “I'd rather be Killed im the battle and called fool than go home and be called acoward.” So he declared he would take a musket and fight asa private if he coulda’t go in as an officer. Gen. Tyler, seeing the young man so determined, made him an aid cn his staff, and in this capacity Col. Quay fought all day and far into the night im the famous battle of Fredericksburg, ren- dering important service. == tos BANKERS RESIGN. Mysteries Surrounding the Movements of Well-Known New York Bankers. There is trouble im the Third National Bank of New York. After an experience of only about a fortnight as its president Robert M. Gallaway resigns. Ostensibly and for public quotation President Gai- lnway retires because he finds that the pressure of other business responsibilities—he is still vice president of the Manhattan Ele- Yated Company—will not permit him to give the time aud attention needed im a big bank management. Really the reason is that ® personal insight into the Third Nationa! affairs bas surprised and appalled bit been arranged that President Gallaway resig- nation will uot be officially made public till mext Saturday. He sails tor Europe then. When he goes at least oue other prominent and important director of the Third National goes too. Charles Lanier of the bavking house of Winslow, Lanier & Co., is one director who re- signs. He retires for precisely the same rea- sons that induce Mr. Gallaway to «sudden ebange of mind and plans. scl orm —— Hung Down by the Suwanee.

One Man Kills Three Others and Nar- rowly Escapes Lynching. A shocking triple murder occurred outside a barroom at Kingsland, London, Wednesday night.which all the London papers characterize as an “American tragedy.” A discharged sol- dier named Hargan, alias Harper, quarreled with William Lambert and John Wheeler while sitting together at the bar. The landlord ejected them. When outside Hargan imme ately drew a Colt’s revolver and shot both men through the head. They fell dead on the side- walk. The bystanders attempted to capture the murderer, who immediately shot again, killing a third man. An enormous and excited crowd gathered round Hargan, who kept every one at bay, leveling his revolver and backing down the street. Noone had the courage to make an attempt to capture him until Wm. Knifton, abrother of the prize fighter, and another man grappled with him from behind. Then began a desperate fight for life. Har- gan managed to fire his revolver three times into the crowd without hitting Knifton or doing any damage. The fight lasted n quarter of an hour, during which time Kuifton was nearly killed and Hargan nearly torn to pieces, His clothes were 1d from him, and when finally, exhausted and bleeding, he fell to the sidewalk the crowd stamped on him, threw stones on him and would have lynched him but for the arrival of asquad of police. He was picked up ina dying condition and carried to the station house on astretcher. Hargan left the West Surrey regiment three months ago and came to New York in search of employ- ment. He was not successful in finding it and returned to England a few days ago. While in New York he bought the revolver with which he did the shooting. He claims that the dead men robbed him the night before and at the | station house, in giving his deposition, he said that he bad served them only as they would have been served in America for a similar of- fense. He says he has been a clerk in New York, also in Philadelphia. His full name Walter Alfred Hargan, and he is evidently man of some refinement and education. coe HE PROVED UNGRATEFUL, Why Mrs. Mingos Wanted to Get a Divorce from Her Husband: The divorce case of Esther J. Mingos against George W. Mingos was heard by Judge Hooker in the Minneapolis district court yesterday and the divorce granted. The two were married in Towanda, Pa., in 1871, after which she engaged in the millinery business in that town and the husband went to Chicago to take a course of medicine in a medical college. It was the un- derstanding between them that after com- pleting his education they would both find a home in sume western city, where he couid practice his profession. In the meantime she was to supporthim. This she did faithfully, in all paying $5,000 toward his maintenance and education. Leaving college Mingos went to do. O. When wife followed him there she was coldly received and soon found out that he was living with another woman as his wife. For several years Mrs. Mingos has lived in Minneapolis under her maiden name of Kingsley. ———~— e+ —--___ TWO ACRES OF FLAMES. A Fire in Braddock, Pa. Destroys Thirty-Eight Houses. At 3 o'clock yesterday afternoon fire broke out in a Hungarian settlement in the east end| of Braddock, an iron town nine miles up the Monongahela river from Pittsburg, Pa, and thirty-eight houses were consumed. Among these were some dozen brick residences owned by Americans, but the remainder were frame houses of two stories and occupied by Hun- garian inborers. These thirty-eight houses contained 125 families, embracing some 450 people. The flames were confined to two acres of closely packed buildings. The loss is 2100,000, chiefly on the buildings, as the foreign- ers saved everything of value. The fire was! started by a Hungarian woman, who, finding her bed uninhabitable, carried it out into an alley and set fire to it and everything else within two squares, ee KILLED WITH A HAT PIN, A Boy Dies Two Weeks After the In- Two weeks ago last Monday night Joel Wil- liams, seventeen years of age, and Cora Young sat side by side at services in Antioch Church, Atlanta. ‘The girl began prodding the boy with a pin, which he finally took from her and threw upon the floor. Then she took from her hat a hat pin five inches long, and with all her force drove it into Williams’ right side, just above the hip. The pin sank into the iesh until only the heac could be seen. The boy sprang from his seat with a yell. The pa ha: penetrated the body its full length, but with its removal the pain ceased and both Wil- liams and the girl remained at the church until the congregation was dismissed. The boy went home, sickened and lingered until Wednesday night, when death came. The pin had pene- trated his kidneys. ———e0._____ A FATAL TOBOGGAN RIDE. Mrs. Emily Scanion of Germantown Killed at Brandywine Springs. Mrs. Emily Scanlon of Germantown, Pa.. fell from the car of a toboggan slide at Brandywine Springs Picnic Park yesterday afternoon and was killed. The unfortunate woman went down with an excursion from Philadelphia, taking her child, a girl of six years. The lat- ter importuned her mother to take her on the car, which 1s sent by steam over the hill, mak- ing numerous sharp curves. Mrs. Scanlon finally acceded to her child's reiterated re- quests and they got into the car, in which were seated two men, members of the same excur- sion party. The little car was started and picked its way laboriously up over the hill top and then began its descent of. the sharp in- cline. While running ata very swift pace the car struck a sharp curve and in an instant its four occupants were hurled out and down the bill among the rocks and stones, Mrs. Scanlon struck her head m the fall and sustained inju- ries from which she died in a few minutes. Her little daughter was somewhat scratched and bruised, but sustained no serious injuries, wh the two men escaped unhurt. A detail of mili tia with a stretcher was detailed from Camp Biggs, which is close by, and the woman was carried to the hospital tent of the first regi- ment, N.G.D. After Surgeon General Marshall and medical staff had tried in vain to save her life the body was sent home. — eee. —— SHIPPING GUNPOWDER WEST. Much Activity in British Military Circles in Canada. The extraordinary activity in military circles iu Quebec yesterday gave rise to much discus- sion. Inquiry at the citadel elicited the infor- mation that owing to orders from Ottawa great quantities of gunpowder were being ship- ped to all western depots. The magazines at Kingston, St. John and other frontier pointe are being filled to their fullest capacity. Much of the powder is also being rushed forward to the Pacific coast, and the government cartridge factories are working day and night to fill the extraordinary ordere. This unusual activity causes quite a sensation, but the military are silent as to the cause. esendcas n k e Rescued From Drowning at Atlantic City While bathing in the surf near the foot of Kentucky avenue, Atlantic City, yesterday afternoon Mrs. Kate Stevens of Philadelphia in an uarded her feet.

While Oscar Hittle, aged fourteen years, was bathing in Staten Island sound at Elizabeth- port, N.J., Wednesday evening, a large mastiff sprang off one of the docks and seized the boy bythe thigh. The lad's screams from pain and fright attracted the attention of some oyster- men near by, who beat off the ferocious te with their oars. Their timely arrival saved the lad’s life, as he was utter! hausted and fainted when hauled into the A Steamer Lost. A dispatch was received in New York yester- day announcing the total loss of the steam ship Gulf St. Vincent. This steamer was commanded ra HAYTV’S NAVY DESERTERS. Some of Them Recaptured in Philadel- Phia—The Story of a Mutiny. Over one-sixth of that part of the Haytien navy, now lying in the port of Philadelphia for repairs, have deserted and one-quarter of the deserters have been caught and are in irons on the gunboat Jacmel at Neafle & Levy's ship yard. The force of the two boats Dessalines and Jacmel is 110 men, officers and crew, in- cluding the admiral Nine men have deserted from the Dessalines and eleven from the Jac- mel Six from the latter were arrested on Wednesday by the third district police and yes- terday they were given a nice ride ine patrol wagon to the vessel, The deserters were found sitting around the front of » boarding house, 304 Lom! ard strzet, and made no attempt at concealment. en they were locked up at the station house they ang & song or two and then went tosleep. Act- ing Lieut. Moore said their names were so pro- found that it didn’t matter how much they were spelled on the books, and he'd hate to be compelled to try to pronounce them, They will be kept in irons for several weeks. Every fireman on the Jacmel has run away. They claim that they were treated harshly. The nine men from the Dessalines, it 18 said, will not be caught. They have run off to Bos- ton, New York and Baltimore. About a month ago a mutiuy occurred on the Dessalines. An engineer, a quartermaster and two firemen refused to work. Admiral Killick had them sent to prison for fifteen days and then he charged thom 855 each, according to their story, saying that that was what the prison officials here charged for keeping them. They will not mutiny again, The Desaalines is now lying at Mill’s ship- yard. Camden, where a propeller was put on yesterday. The repairs are nearly finished, and in less than a mouth the war craft of the land of Hippolyte will be gone and the police of the third and fourth districts say they will be glad of it, too, sm eee MURDERED BY HIS SON. A Man Kills His Father for Eating the Meat Cooked for Dinner. A letter from Schwarzenbrunn in Thuringia says that John Emmers of San Antonio, Tex., returned to the village to see his old father and | was told by hia brother that he had gone to a neighbor's house, Notwithstanding this state- ment suspicions were aroused among the neigh- bors, who are Americans, that the man had been fouily dealt with and asearch was insti- tuted. The house dog was unchained to assist in this work, although the brother objected. The dog atonce ran toa manure heap on the farm. The searchets followed and upon digging into the pile found the body of the old man. His skull was crushed and thero was other evidence ox murder on hie body. John’s brother then confessed that he murdered his father with a hatchet in the presence of his intended bride. | He explained that the cause of the crime was that bis father had eaten all the meat cooked for dinner, The murderer and his bride buried the body where it was found. After the crime the dog was kept chained by the guilty brother. ‘The murderer and his accomplice were arrested. SHOT BY HER HUSBAND. Jealousy Leads to a Murder at Long Branch. With three pistol bullets Stephen B. Billings, a bar cashier at Long Branch, Wednesday night succeeded in fatally injuring his wife. ‘Shots from the Billings cottage aroused tho neighborhood at a late hour and Mrs. Billings ran screaming into the street, where she fell. She was carried, with blood dripping over her dress, to the residence of Constable Mapel, di- rectly across the highway. Dr. Beach found she had been wbunded in the throat and right arm, while a third bullet penetrated her left breast and is believed to have passed through her lung. He pronounced her injuries neces- sarily fatal within a few hours, . She lived through the night, but last night was sinking rapidly. Constable Mapel and a found Billings hiding in his barn with a 32-cal- iber pistol beside him, the one used in the tragedy. When told his wife was dying tho man expressed joy und said that he shot with the deliberate intention of killing her because he was jealous of her. Mrs, Billings made her ante-mortem statement to Justice John Ed- wards, but was reticent and admitted there had been a serious disagreement just before the shooting. When it became known that Billings was in custody the great crowd of men in front of his house yelled ‘Hang him!” “Lynch him!” and public indignation ran high for a time. The mob was so obsteperous and threatening that Justice Edwards and the constable feared that there would be an attempted rescue and lynch- ing of the prisoner, so it was decided not to place Billings in the insecure lockup, but to take him to the jail at Freehold, twelve miles away. Billings is a giant in size and is notorious for his misdeeds. In 1873, with a knife, he almost disemboweled Jockey Midgely at Eatontown, but was never brought to justice for that crime. Mrs, Billings is a smail woman, dying with con- sumption. She is about fifty years of age, while her brutal husband is eight years her elder. ‘The couple have four sons and a daugh- ter. The sons are all race-course people. one being Charles Billin; the celebrated trainer. A GREAT SWIMMER GONE. Joe Maguire, the Cape May Surfman, Drowned While Bathing. josse of citizens Joe Maguire was drowned last night at Cape May while bathing in the surf. He had been long known as one of the most fearless guard- ians of the beach, and hundreds ot people liv- ing today owe their lives to his efforts in their behalf. He had been proprietor of bath houses for some time and was one of the best swim- mers, having frequently been in contests in which he’ generally came out victor. At7 o'clock Maguire walked out to the end of the pier attired in his bathing suit and dived into the ocean. As he came to the surface he started to swim down the line of breakers. He continued swimming until a point directly op- posite the Grant street station was reached, where his movements became slower and more labored until he appeared to be thoroughly helpless, dashed about at the will of the break- ers and unable to put forth an exertion in his own behalf. His dangerous position was at this time noticed by William Hebenthal, who was driving a carriuge down the boulevard. | Hebenthal jumped off the carriage, climbed over the board walk und dashed through the breakers, closely followed by George Mitchell, who was just about to take a dip in the surf. Mitchell and Hebenthal waded out to where Maguire was, but by this time bis struggles had ceased and he was utterly belpless, toshore. Maguire was now unconscious and every effort was made to resuscitate him. Dr. Kennedy and a number of others labored with him for over a half hour trying to revive some faint spark of life, but met with success, Maguire was thirty-two years of age and leaves a wife and two child A MAN U: DER HER BED. Annie Gray Jumps From a Window and May Die. Annie Gray of Lowell, Mass, woke up and found a man in her room Wednesday night and jumped from the window, twenty-five feet from the ground. She brokea leg and suffered a concussion of the spine, She was taken to St. John’s Hospital, and is in a critical condition, She knows who the intruder was, but will not tell his name. He attempted no indignities; but becoming conecious that some one was in the room she put out her hand and felt his rt as he was crawling under the bed. Then she sprang from the dand through open window. It is stated that the man escaped from the premises in the same manner that he had gained access to the room—tfrom a neigh- boring shed. ———-+ee_______ Emin With His Maxim.

THE EVENING STAR is offered to the pubs lic, in good faith and with confidence, as THR BEST LOCAL ADVERTISING MEDIUM IN 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 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 1839, published in Taz Stam 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 circe- lation of any other paper in Washing- ton! 2 The Star’s circulation in Washing- ton is double that of all the other daily Papers published in the city added to- gether!! 3. The Star bas a larger and fuller circulation in the city where printed, im proportion to reading and purchas- ing population, than any other mews- Paper in the world!!! 4. The Siar has the largest regular and permancat home circulation ef any two-cent afternoon paper in the United States !!!! In support of these claims and to show the constantly increasing eirculation of the paper, attention is invited to the figures following: DAILY CIRCULATION IN 1885-86-87-88-88, 18S5. 1886. 1887.

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, end by newsboys. But of this latter number a very large proportion is supplied regularly to per manent residents of the city living in lodgings, 4c. (not householders), so that its whole circula tion may be literally said to be in the family circle. While its aggregate circulation there fore gives Tue Stan 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 enter- 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 by the growth of Taz Stan's advertising patronage. 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: RUMBER OF NEW ADVERTISEMANTS ¢RINTED Dt | SERGREEREEGES in the way of tax eales, poll lists, election retarns, ‘etc., such as occasionally swell the business of political organs, being included im its petrom age. In conclusion, it is only necessary to say that fm 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 abundantly verified THE CIB CULATION OF THE APER I8 SWORN TOy ITS PRESS AND CIRCULATION BOOMS ARB OPEN TO THE PUBLIC, AND ITS BOOKS MAY BE INSPECTED FY ANY ONE HAVING Ai INTEREST I THESE EXAMINATION, 4 Sere
