6 CITY AND_DISTRICE J The local circulation of Tae Evzxrxe Sram is not only the ‘argest and fullest, but it is also the pest, since the paper goes not alone into the hands of the people of the District of Columbia asa body, but regularly into their homes,—into the families of all classes, and into those of the money-spending as well as the money-earning portion of the community. An advertisement in its columns therefore reaches the eye of everybody worth reaching. CAPT, DUBLE RESIGNS. His Letter of Resignation Makes Serious Charges. The conflict of jurisdiction between Capt. Johu A, Duble and Col. Ernst has probably reached @ conclusion, Capt. Duble resigned today and the Commissioners accepted it. The Commissioners’ proposition that Capt. Duble remain an additional private on the police force, excluding the mall from his surveillance, was not acceptable to him and his resignation was promptly teudered in a letter, from which the following extract is taken: “It is notorious that little girls,” Capt. Dubie in this letter, “iave been enticed into these public grounds for the purpose of accom- plishing their ruin. One week ago last Satur- day night I counted thirty-seven prostitutes trying to imveigle men into those grounds be- tween the hours of 11 p.m. and 1 a.m., and not oue of Col. Ernst’s men in sight. “About two weeks ago several small colored boys were playing crap in oue of the walks of th ll between 3d and 43¢ streets when two of Col.

The hole made by the bullet fired so recklessly from the revolver in the hands of one of Col. Ernst’s pet officers, who still holds his place, may be seen by any one passing satd house.

Young Roughs Who Assaulted and Robbed a Newsboy. Abig colored boy hnown as “Shack” Beil, who selis newspapers for a living, appeared in the Police Court Saturday afternoon and charged four colored boys—Wm. Clark, Wm. Gorton, John Butler and Edward Fisher—with assault and robbery. “Shack” had a blood- ined rag tied around his head and showed evidences of the ill-treatment he had received, The affsir occurred near 12th and B streets Porthwest yesterday afternoon and “Shack,” ia addition to being beaten, was robbed of 25 cents, Sergeant Boyle pursued the boys ima buggy and captured them. There was no proof against John Butler and he was discharged. So far as the others were concerned the judge said that they were evi- dently bad boys, whose sympathies should have been excited because of “Shack’s” condi- tion instead of their beating and robbing him of the few pennies he had to buy his papers with, and sentenced them to the Reform School during minority. ———___—_ AGAINST LEGALIZING MURDER.

RIOT BEGUN AT SYRACUSE — VICE PRESIDENT WEBE SAYS HE WILL NOT ARBITRATE—FREIGHT TRAFFIC PARALYZED—PASSENGER TRAINS RUN- NING, BUT BADLY DELAYED. A threat to tie-up every railroad running out of New York was the salutation of the Knights of Labor leaders to the community yesterday afternoon. Later it was announced that this measure had not been definitely determined on; that the knights in Jersey City were favorably inclined to it, and that the tie-up might come today. At 9 o'clock in the evening it was made known that the knights bad ordered the fire- onthe New York Central to leave their cabs at 6 o'clock this morning. The probable effect of this order is not easy to estimate. The knights profess to believe that all wheels will stop. The Knights of Labor leaders justify their resort to extreme measures by the refusal of Vice President Webb to accept a proposi- tion made by John J. Hayes of the general executive board last night to submit the mat- ters in dispute to arbitration. Mr. Webb told Mr. Hayes there was nothing to arbitrate. MORE TROUBLE To COME. The railroad officials regard the situation at Albany and Syracuse as much more serious than it is in New York city. A mob took possession of the company’s yards at Syracuse yesterday and held them for nearly twelve hours in spite of the weak-kneed efforts of two companies of militia to dislodge them. Two companies of reinforcemgnts arrived in the evening and the combined forces drove out the rioters. At Al- bany it is feared there will be violence and at- tempts to destroy property. Five hundred Pinkerton men will be massed there today and the militia will be relied on for further support. The railroad bas notitied the mayors of all cities on its line that it expects them to protect its property. Thestrike on the West Shore isa fuil- urethusfar, The road succeeded in clearing its tracks yesterday and the full passenger and freight service has been resumed. The New York Central will begin moving freight today in all its yards in New York city. Fifteen hun- dred policemen will guard employes and prop- erty. THE RIOTING AT SYRACUSE, Only three out of twenty passenger trains were allowed to pass through the yards at East Syracuse yesterday. There were about 500 strikers assembled at East Syracuse. one of the most important points on the road, many coming from as far east as Albany. The two companies of militia sent there Saturday night were wholly incapable of coping with the atrikers, and there was considerable rioting, Six pas- senger trains from the east were held nearly all day at Manlius, the first station east of East Syracuse. The yards were filled with pas- senger trains from the west, and at gne time four trains were beld at the point of operations of the strikers. At noon an effort was made to move the four trains, with the aid of the military gud deputy sheriffs. Two trains were sent on east, but the strikers interfered with the moving of tho third. The strikers defied both the military men and sheriffs at.the point of bayonets and revolvers, The command to fire was not given and the strikers remained masters of the situa- tion for the rest of the afternoon. No effort was made to move trains for the rest of the day. At 2 p.m. Major Auer received orders to have his entire battery under orders, and was noti- fied thatten of the separate companies of the state militia would report at Syracuse at the earliest hour, GRAND ARMY MEN BLOCKADED. The officers of the military companies have orders to clear the East Syracuse yards at all hazards as soon as the companies can be massed. If necessary they will turn the bat- tery guns on the strikers. The dissatisfied railroad men say that no trains will be moved if they can prevent it, even if bloodshed ful- lows. It is hardly probablo that the military will advance on the strikers until today on ac- count of the advantage the striking men would have in the darkness among the thousands of freight cars. he strikers do not allow the lights to be lighted in the night. Thousands of laboring men were at East Syracuse all day. Their sympathies are with the strikers and they have lent all the encour- agement possible, More than one thousand Grand Army men are detained there on their way to the encampment at Boston. They held an indignation meeting yesterday afternoon and passed resolutions condemning the action of the strikers. Passenger trains and excursion trains of Grand Army men from the west have been going over the West Shore road every half hour during the afternoon? Mixed with the West Shore and Western road cars are many New York Central cars put on at Buffalo. West awe vad aan atoters Knights of Labor, say that this will jead toan extended strike on that road, for they are bound to stand by the New York Central men, THE EFFECT IN NEW YORK CITY, ‘The complete paralysis of all traftic on the New York Central railroad, caused by the first blow Friday night, led the Knights of Labor to believe that they could maintain the stop- page of business on the roads of the company. ‘This they have not succeeded in doing, and it is evident that a general feeltng of disappoint- ment prevails amoung the strikers, though they will not admit this. They placed strong reliance upon the assistance of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers, who, according to many of the knights, were to have taken a hand in the fight last night.

A young man named James Ryder, who lives et No. 1723 20th street, went swimming in the river yesterday. While in the water a negro, desirous of taking a bath, approached and Ryder caught him, and, despite his struggles, held his head under water several timex. The negro finally got away from him and went ashore and procured s penknife, which he used ou Kyder, inflieting a painful stab wound in the abdomen. The negro escaped after doing the damage and Ryder's wound was dressed at the Emergency Hospital self told a reporter Saturday afternoon that there was an understanding to that effec’, but yesterday he said he had heard nothing further about the matter and could not tell what the brotherhood would do. ‘A prominent member of the brotherhood said that the locomotive engineers were not to be in this strike. 1t was not their fight, but of course, he added, should they be ordered out they would go. He did uot think such an order would be given. ‘he brotherhood,” said sev- eral others, “remembers the Chicugo, Burling- ton and Quincy strike, in which their places were taken by’ Kuights of Labor, and are not over-anxious to help the knights now.” THE COMPANY'S ULTIMATUM. During yesterday afternoon General Man- ager Toucey, Assistant Manager Theodore Voorhees, John H. Fife, B. A. Loomis, J. J. Loftus, Henry Douglass and John S. Green, the latter of whom are prominent freight of- ficials of the New York Central road, helda conference in the oftice of ‘Ihird Vice President Webb. Late in the afternoon the following circular was issued by Third Vice President Webb, and was the result of the long del tion of the conference held by the roa ficials. ‘The position of the company is this: We ‘shall select our own men, and we do not pro- jose that they will be designated py the Knights of Labor or its committees. When men are dismissed we shall get rid of the ineficient, the most vicious and those least in accord with our interests, Neparin) roma: are to be made we will not be bound by the seniority rules promulgated by the Knights of Labor. A due consideration will always be given to length of service,but the first auc most important rule will be the quali- fications of the man for the place. If our men have grievaaces the proper officers will be will- ing to grant hearings and see that cousideration is given, but we will not allow outsiders to in- tervene or to interfere between the employer andemploye. For this reason alone I refused to allow Sir. Holland to discuss any differences alleged to exist between the company und ite men and not for the reason, as stated, that we object to our employes being members of labor organizations. These are my views andI am satisfied that they are concurred in and approved by every official of the company, by its buard of direct- ors and by the gentlemen who are most inter- ested in its securities, The strike is ill-advised, cannot succeed and we will put it down and maintain the position we have taken, The following notice was also posted ina conspicuous place in the vieinity of the de- t: Lg SES seeking employment on the New York Central and Hudson ver road will please make application at the office of the Wagner Palace Car Company. “The result was that applications were received by the score.

From the New York Times Sunday. i After nearly ten years of wandering in this country and Canada Capt. Howgate, the once trusted disbursing officer of the signal service corps, whose defalcation, arrest and flight in the fall of 1880 made such a sensation, is said to be now living in this city under an assumed name. It is said that some of his old-time friends of the palmy days of ten yearsago have seen and conversed with him and that even government detectives know of his where- abouts, but that, though an untried indictment for the embezzlement of goverument moneys hangs over his head, they hesitate to arrest him without orders from the Department of Justice. When Howgate was the property and dis- bursing officer of the per service in Wash- ington he made a practice of defrauding the government by forging vouchers for j ome npssonaes of supplies in the names of several ealers, drew the checks to the orders of the Sup posititious dealers, forged the indorsements, and got the cash, Gen. Meyer, then chief sig- nal officer, had such confidence in Howgate that when the latter placed a batch of vouchers before him for siguing he signed them all without hesitation. The fraud was finally dis- covered by a minor officer ambitious for motion. He iodged information and furnished indubitable proof against Capt. Howgate, who at that time was making strenuous efforts to be appointed successor to Gen. Meyer, then re- cently dead. Charges were preferred against Howgate, and when the bese ot chief sigual officer fell to Gen. Hazen he resigned from the army and fled, Secretary Lincoln, then at the head of the War Department, detailed Special Agent A. B. Newcombe to find Howgate. On arriving in this city Mr. Neweombe found that the fugitive was practically under the protection of Chris- topher Hogan, then a qell-known private de- tective, who kept Capt. Howgate posted as to the movements of the government officers, Howgate, however, suddenly reappeared in Washington and was surrendered to the gov- ernment by his bondsmen. Shortly after his arrest he was permitted to visit his house in charge of an officer, and on pretense of takin a bath he escaped from a back window, ani that was the last seen of him in Washington. He left a wife and daughter behind hnn with no meuns of support. Friends secured clerk- ships for both of them in one of the depart- ments. “There is nothing atall improbable in the rumor that Capt. Howgate is back again in New York,” suid Detective L. A. Newcombe, formerly in the government secret service. “I don't suppose the government cares very much where he is, aud uo doubt he could be arrested at any moment if he was wanted, Iam told that Clark, who embezzled post office funds years ago and fled to Canada, is also back and walking about town without any fear of arrest.” see ENGLISH ATHLETES COMING. A Scheme for Amateur Contests in Va- rious Cities, A series of stirring contests between Ameri- can and English amateur athletes is promised in meetings for which arrangemonts are now in progress by the Mankattan Athletic Club of New York, The dates of the mectings have not yet been fixed, but the English visitors will sail from home on the Majestic September 17 and they will doubtless be given a chance to test their mettle as soon as they may desire after their arrival, President ‘Carr of the Manhattan Club says there is now no possibil- re in the meetings because arrange- ments were completed last week by a written agreement between his club and the Salford Harriers of Manchester, England, and prepa- rations will be made accordingly. The agreement provides for a series of meet- inge in this city, New York, Philadelphia, Bos- ton aud other cities. The English club sti lates to send over some of the best amateur athletes in that country. As at present advised Mr. Carr says that delegation will consist of E. W. Parry, national cross-country champion, 1890, and holder of seven championships, 1888; W. H. Morton, world’s champion 15 to 20 miles, northern one-mile champion and northern cross-country champion; T. L. Nicholas, quarter-mile northern champion and spriuter; G, H. Morris, half-mile 8 one-mile runner, winner of nearly two hundred prizes and third man to Morton Parry in national cross-country championship; J. W. Martindale, eprint and quarter-mile runner; E. Briggs, quarter and half-mile runner, With such material from the other side American clubs will have to work hard,to win in any of the contests which the Englishmen may enter. Mr. Carr feels assured that uo effort will be spared here to give the visitors all they may want to do to carry off the honors. ‘The games will take place under the joint management of the two contracting clubs, The proceeds will be divided equally between them, the competitors will, of course, have no per- sonal financial interest in the expected receipts, but the Manhattan Club assumes responsibility for the payment of expenses, and guarantees that the share of profits which the treasury of the English club will receive will be at least $1,000, The program of dates and details will be completed as soon as possible. sevcineinaatems rl seme ALMOST A BREAK-DOWN, The Belt of the Kemmler Dynamo Slipped at the Critical Moment. City Electrician Charles R. Barnes of Roches- ter, who operated the dynamo at the Kemmler execution, has reveuled how narrow an escape they had from breaking down at the critical moment, “The Kemmler execution was a decided fail- ure,” said he, “but if managed properly it might have been a success, The dynamos were placed upstairs on an ordinary wooden floor, with no additional precaution to make them strong and secure. The dynamo when running at full speed would vibrate the floor from one- half to one inch. The countershaft was placed on a wood framework resting on this floor, and was not lined up properly so that the pulleys would run true. The belts used were new ones, not worn enough so they would rua smooth, and had not been used enough to get the stretch out of them, so when the load was thrown on them they would slip. “The electricians in charge of this room con- ted of three men besides the citizens who were to look on with me. One of these men gave signals which he received from the switchboard room to the engine room, which was below the dynamo, Another one was busy oiling the dynamos and putting rosin on the belt to try to stop the slipping, while the third was busy holding a board against the pulley to keep the belt on, and had all he conld do to at- tend to this part of the business. as when the current was turned on the first time and the extra resistance of the chair circuit, which in- cluded Kemmler's body, was thrown on the dynamo, the belt came very near leaving the pulley. “At that time there was not even one-half of the belt on the dynamo pulley and the arma- ture was brought down so that it was not run- ning much if any over half speed. It took two men to keep the belt from fiying off before the signal came to shut down. Even after a short interval the vignals to start came in quick suc- cession and the same thing was repeated. All the time the dynamo was running the slipping of the belt could be heard in the prison yard. If that belt had come off when the current was sent to the chair the result would have been simply terrible.” ———+e+_____ Schweinfarth Will Marry. “Savior” Schweinfurth has weakened and procured a marriage license at Rockford, Ill, for himself and Mary L.

Four or five days ago about two hundred Mariners and sailors belonging to the Bos- ton, Chicago and Atlunta, at New York, were granted a twenty-four hours’ leave of absence. They did not come back, and inst night Admiral Walker had Acting Superintend- ent Byrnes send outa general alarm for their wholesale capture.

In point of fact, it may be truthfully said that it is without ae equal in this respect any where in the world There averments are borne out by the figures given below, which are compiled from the orn weekly statements printed im the paper eeeh Monday in the year, and condensed sworn tabular statements showing the @verage daily circulation of the paper during the year 1889, published im ‘Tue Sram on the 18th of January, 1890, Briefly stated, the points upon which the above claim is based are these: That— 1. The Star bas three times the cirea- Jation of auy other paper in Washing- tou! 2 The Star's circulation im Washing- ton is double that of all the other daily Papers published im the city added to- wother!! 3. the Star bas eo larger and tuller circulation im the city where printed, im proportion to reading and purchas ing po; tion, than any other news paper in the world!!! 4. The Stmr has the largest reguiar and permanent home circulation of any two-cent afternoon paper im the United States Iti! In support of these claims and to show the constantly increasing girculation of the paper, attention is invited to the figures following: BAILY CIRCULATION IN 1885-86-87-88-88, Isss, 1SSe, JAx...20,486 23,388 25,470 26,386 27,541 Fes...%2,029 24,321 26,299 27,161 29,200 34,766 29.852 29,616 30,173 29.650 25,993, 2478 APk...22,572 24,727 25,575 27,166 May. .22,474 24,359 23,2742 26,722 “21,933 23,902 235,116 27,453 JOLY..21,406 23,186 24,870 25,946 Poeey 26,752 Dac. ..23,000 24,687 26,466 Av'ge.22,123 23,682 25,484 27,082 Incr. 1,559 1,803 1,598 Of this remarkable average aggregate of 80,090 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 traius, etc., leaving as « net circulation am the city proper the PHENOMENAL PRO- PORTION of 923s 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- ecribers. ‘The remaining 6,740 copies represent the salee 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, &c. (not housebolders), so that its whole circula tion may be literally said to be in the fumily circle. While its aggregate circulation there fore gives Tuk Stan a distinctim and enviable Position im modern journalism, the fullness of its home circulation, the extent to whieh 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 scek and know where to find THE LARGEST RETURNS FROM THE MONEY PAID OUT FOR ADVERTISING. 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 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 KEW ADVERTISEMANTS CRINTED Et 1855 -86-87-88-ou ISS6.

The larger ‘space required for advertisements during the ‘Year 1889 as compared with that eccupicd mm ‘The average daily space filled by advertise ments in 1838 was 25.10 columns, or 7779 columns for the year; whereas for the year 1849 the daily average was 29.75 columns, or 9223 columns im the aggregate, being a total gain over the pre vious yearof 1444 columns! And this, it mast be remembered, consisted exclusively of the ordinary everyday business advertising, nothing in the way of tax sales, poll lists, election returns, @tc., such as occasionally swell the business of Political organs, being included im ite patrom age. In conclusion, it is only necessary to say that, { proportion to the extent and high charactet @f its circulation, Tax Stan's edvertising rates take rank with the very bowest in the country, and to add, finally, that every statement hereis made can be abundantly verified THE CIB CULATION OF THE PAPER Ib SWORN TO)
