The Wife of Judge Albion W. Tourgee Wanted For Contempt of Court. Mrs. Emma K. Tourgee, wife of ex-Judge Albion W. Tourgee, the novelist, has beea com- mitted to jail for contempt of court by Special County Judge Butts of Chautauqua county, N. ¥., but thus far sho bas evaded execution of the writ and the novelist’s financial affairs were ventilated in Buffalo yesterday afternoon in the supreme court on a mvtion to set aside the order. Mrs. Tourgee had failed to appear be- fore a referee in Jamestown to answer as to the Gnancial relations existing between her hus- band and herself. The suit in which she was ordered to testify was brought by Ezekiel Pleming to recover $2,500 claimed to be owed him, in which a judgment was obtained and ed unsatisfied. Mr. Tourgee was sev- snes examined on “sups” before a ref- eree as to his property, but the prosecutors failed to discover any available funds. They charge that Mr. Tourgee has been in the habit of ‘turning ali his money over to his wife, in- cluding receipts for the sale of his books, “Bricks Without Straw,” ‘-A Fool's Errand,” &c., and other literary work, besides the re- ceipts from his lectures and magazine articles, reeeipts from the latter of which, they charge, aggregate at leas: $50 = week. Mrs. Tourgee swears in the opposing affidavits tha she had none of her husband's money since 1880, and that she was not regularly subpenaed to ap- pear before the referee. Her attorney, Adel- Dert Moot, also set forth a claim that Judge Butts did not have jurisdiction on the case. Mrs. Tourgee expressed a willingness to pay the expense of an examination at Mayville. Op- counsel said that an excuse that Ju ee was sick was made at a time when able to travel to New York and deliver a ‘ture there. The decision was reserved, = £07 ae bata HE OWNED THE NEXT COUNTY. A Sheep Raiser Quicts Ex-Congress- man John B. Alley. ‘The question of the woo! tariff has brought oue of the most remarkable farmers in the United States to Washington, says the Wash- ington correspondent of the Chicago Herald. Thus is David Harpster of northern Ohio. He has thousands of sheep on the Western Reserve and he isone of the millionaire sheep raisers ofthecountry. He has large estates scattered over other parts of the Union, and to look at him you would not suppose him to be worth a dollar. He is about 5 feet 4 inches in hejch:, is as broad as he is long and has a round cannon-ball head pasted down upon a» pair of broad, fat shoulders. His roly-poly form is clad in rough goods, which might have been put together by Kis wife, and a big derby hat comes well down toward his ears and shades his fat. florid face. Harpster is a great friend of Senator Sherman. was sitting the other day in Senator Sher- man’s committee room when Jobn A. Alley, the ex-Congressman from Massachusetts who was so prominent in the days of the Credit Mobilier scandal, came in. Alley isa millionaire. He is proud of his richesand he is, I am told, a little inclined to pose. When he entered Sena- tor Sherman's room Mr. Sherman him to Dave Harpster, saying: want to make you acquainted wi Fepresentative farmers, Mr. Ha: ater.” ‘Ab, indeed!” said Alley, as he shook bands. “You are a farmer, are you? 1 am always glad to meet farmers, for am something of a farmer myself. I havea farm in Texas con- sisting of 40,000 acres.” 6: ‘You have?” muttered Harpster; “and where ity It isin such a county,” said Alley, naming the county, “in the central part of Texas.” “Indeed,” good land, for 1 own the whole county next to ” ‘This surprised Alley and took the wind out of ‘his sails. He said little more about his farm, bus his actions showed that his respect for Dave iarpster, the Ohio farmer, bad perceptibly risen, Consul King in Charge. General Adam King took possession of sie Songulate at Paris yesterday and Major Jacob Kathbone is again a private cyizen. The cere- mony of the official transfer was of very sim- ple character aud did not occupy much time. replied Mr. Harpster, “it must be | aud that therefore they Park. The waves continue their work of destruc- tion on the ‘beach at Asbury Park. Mr. Brad- ley’s famous board walk is a scene of ruin for three blocks from Asbury avenue #0 3d avenue. A number of bath houses have beén destroyed and others must be torn dowm togave the tim- bors. The bulkhead between the small pavil- ion and the picr appeared to be firm on Sun- day, but the water made its way underneath yesterday and bulged the planking. ‘The belt- ing was washed away and the boards fell in. The beach has been cut away to aimost the same depth as the heavy oak pilling was sunk last spring. These heavy timbers have whirled with great force on the waves snd have done much harm. The board walk of the pier is nearly ali destroyed. The sewer connections have been broken. From the small pavilion at Asbury to Scbavenue is a mass of shattered board walk. The entire distance is roped off. A portion of the bottom of aship, which was thought to be a part of Victoria, which was Wrecked there seventeen years ago and which has been imbedded in the sand, has been un- covered by the waves. The Victoria was loaded with salt on its way from Liverpool to New York. Her crew of ten men were saved by the life car. ee Se A SENATE POKER GAME, The Senator Who Held Four Aces Hit With a Chair Before He Could Explain. There are two Senators who never interrupt each other in debate, anys the St. Louis Globe- Democrat. They do not speak to each other. 'They belong to the same party, and being strong, positive men, they come in contact fre- quently. But cach ignores the other's exist- ence. Of cuurse, a story is behind or bencath this strained situation, The two Senators were members of a little poker-playing party some time ago, Other Senators were in the game. Allwere playing for recreation. The stakes were uot large. Late in the night ono of the party, making an excuse to step out. obtained au old deck of cards and selected four aces, sented, including Grand | Returning. he passed the hand to a Senator, who in turn transferred the cards to a third. All were in the plot except the Senator who was to be made the victim. The Senator who held the four aces waited until there was a pot of 26 or $7 up, and then laid down his hand. Everybody smiled except the victim, He threw pon the table his cards, which included two es, and before anybody could interfere raised his chair and bronght it down with a -erash onthe head of the Senator who had played the stocked hand. He was about to follow up the blow, when the rest of the party interfered. It was all they could do to restrain him. Each tried to explain that it was all a joke, but the more they talked the worse they made the situation. ‘Yo this day the Senator who played the four aces and the Senator upon whom the four aces were played remain un- reconciled. And the Senator who perpetrated the joke has not played a game of poker since that unfortunate right, So he says, JOHN BULL AFTER MINES NOW. A London Syndicate Buys the Aspen and Other Mines For $27,000,000. The most stupendous mining deal ever at- tempted in the west is now pending. It is the sale of all the big mines at Aspen, Col0., to an English syndicate for $27,000.00. The sum is enormous, and when one looks at the figures af first thought it seems incredible, but when the vast deposit of mineral! wealth which they will secure are considered incredulity gives away to belief. There is no question but that the deal is on, and the facts are as firmly founded as the Aspe mountain, the great treasure house of gnature. About six months ago Cecil C, Morgal, the English mining ex- pert, went to London to dispose of some min- ing properties in which John Scott, the wealthy Englishmar, who was formerly president of the Colorado Midland railroad. J. Hager- man. the Colorado Springs millionaire, and a number of other parties were interested. Mr. Morgan has been at different times con- nected with several of the richest mines in the Aspen district. including the Dufhat, Aspen and Bonny Belle. After considerable work he succeeded in forming a syndicate composed of abont fifty financiers of London representing a wealth of nearly $150,000,000. On his return he began his work of securing an optior on the properties very cautiously, and in less than a month the manipulators of the negotiations had secured options on allthe leading mines, in- cluding the Aspen, Durant, Aspen Mining and Smelting companies, Franklin, Compromise, Bonny Belle, Johnson. Smuggler and the Deep Shalt. Some of the figures were fairly stagger- He the Aspen mine being put in at a cool +3.000, egies Railway Postal Clerks on Leave. Atrain load of railway posta! clerks left Chicago Sunday afternoon over the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy for Denver, where the sixteenth annual convention of the United States Railway Mail Service Benefit Mutual Association convenes today. The total mem- bership of this organization is 1,333, and they are to be represented by 150 delegates in the convention. A iarge number of visitors ex- pect to be present, for the six sleepers which left Chicago carried more than 300 people. Amon; those aboard the train were Capt. James E. White and Secretary John Sargent of Chicago, R. C. Jackson of New York, Edward J. Ryan of Boston and Millard Wood of Washington. it is the intention to supplement the Denver meeting with a pleasure trip mto the Grand Canon of the Colorado, Manitou and other places of interest in the mountains. ———— 00 Timely Information.on Melons, From the Lewistown Journal. “What's the difference?” was asked as the commission man tried to pick out the. musk melon and the cantaloupe. “Ob, well,” said he, “don't you be too particular. Lot's call the big ones musk melons and the small ones cantaloupes; that will do for # distinction. The good musk melon is now in the markot and is known by its color and its odor.

The Farmers’ and Laborers’ Union of Carlisle county, Ky., have held a county convention at the county scat and adopted the strongest res- olutions yet passed by any Farmers’ Alliance meeting in regard to Senator Carlisle, after whom the county was named, They declared that Mr. Carlisle, in opposing the free coinage of silver and the subtreasury bill, has shown himself unworthy the confidence of the people, demand his resigna- tion. More than that, they udopted resolutions that they —— ne mao for state or national office who will not pledge hjmsolf to support the farmers in their demand for legislation. ‘The Livingstone county union join in the latter resolutions.

Almost a Riot Between Germans and Junior Mechanics at Pittsburg, . The majority of the 10,000 men who ob- served Labor day by parading the streets of Pittsburg and Allegheny yesterday were 90 patriotic that a riot was narrowly averted: The Bakers’ Union, composed of Germaus, German flag at the head of their dit This insensed the Junior Order of United American Mechanics and they induced one of the mounted aids to order the flag down. The bakers refused to obey. The aid rode off and the spectators began to jeer. The mechanics called back the aid and insisted that the Ger- man flag be romoved. The officer, thus urged, rode into the ranks and tried'to take the ban- Ber away from the st man who car- ried it. The men in ti ranks quickly surrounded the aid and essayed to beat him off.

The silk was torn to shreds. Then the angry men trampled it under foot.

The Germans threaten to be revenged at the first opportunity. They claim an affront was offered to a friendly nation. COACHMAN A} Sees» Seka ae D DAUGHTER GONE Pretty Miss Ashton Runs Away With Her Father’s Colored Servant. Saturday morning, after Mr. Henry Ashton, a. prominent citizen of Netherwood, Pa, had breakfasted, he sent word to his stable to have his colored coachman, William Thompson, bring his horse and carriage to the door, as he intended to take his wife and daughter Emily for a drive to Pennville. After waiting some time for the coachman’s appearance he went to the stable to ascertain the cause of the delay. From Thompson's wife he learned that the coachman had gone away with the horse and carriage shortly after midnight, saying ho was going to visit a sister who wasscriously ill. Mr. Ashton returned to the house and was there informed by bis wife in a paroxyam of grief that Emily could not be found. ‘Then the hor- rible suspicion took possession of his mind that bis coachman and daughter had eloped. A visit to her room furnished proof of his erring Lesa te. flight. A letter to her father told her love for Thompson, her effort to conquer the feeling and her final yielding to a passion which she acknowledged could bring nothing but disgrace upon herself and family. Mr. Ashton, with a number of friends, started in pursuit of the fleeing couple, but could find no trace of them. The horse and carriage were found tied to atree. They evidently took the train, but at what station could not be ascer- tained. Mr. Ashton then returned home with the determination to leave his daughter to her fate. He and his wife are overwhelmed with grief at the disgrace brought upon them. Miss Ashton is twenty-three years of age and very pretty. Thompson is described as an intelli- gent negro, but very uncouth. He has and four children. ee MANGLED BY A BEAR, George Best’s Terrible Adventure In a Colorado Forest. wife George Best came near being eaten up Satur- day evening near Durango, Col., by a ferocious female bear. He was out hunting horses in the mountains and hearing a noise in some under- growth he thought it was one of them and started in the direction whence it came. Just as he entered the brush he found himself within a few foet of a giant silver-tip bear. She made a lunge for him and not having time to escape Mr. Best grabbed her by the paws and for some minutes kept her from injuring him. She, however, finally got his face between her teeth and tore and lacerated the flesh in a most horrible manner. A noise in the brush made by one of her cubs attracted her attention and she left the half dead man, but returned ina moment, Best remained quict and acted as though dead. The bear smelled him and with afew well crunches left with her cubs. Hoe managed to stagger five miles to a tie camp, where he told his story and fainted from loss of blood. There he received medicai aid and his wounds were dressed. The physician says it is doubtful whether the man will recover. — coe sa Boys on 2 Strike. Anumber of boys employed atthe Linder- mann Terra Cotta Roofing Tile Works at Lo- cust Point, Baltimore, went out on a strike yesterday which lasted for fifteen minutes, says the Sun, The boys were led by a young- ster of eleven years, who had a baso ball bat, by means of which he incited his fellow- strikers to boisterous conduct. Their demand was angpcrease of 35 per cent or no work, They became so noisy that the manager quietly sent for Patrolman Doll. When the officer ap- peared onthe ucene the leader ordered his force to retreat, and the youthful strikers sent- tered in every direction. It is said that sev- eral of them received a sound thrashing frum their parents, ————-00_—___-__ Passed Through Her Body.

Lee is un- derstood to be against Delamater. a —— +. eS Foreign Notes of Interest, The shop assistants of the East End, London, held ap enormous mass meeting yesterday inVi toria Park to divcuss the causes of their ill-paid and otherwise wretched condition, and to listen to suggestions for a remedy. After listening to addresses by various labor leaders a resolu- tion looking to the formation of a union was adopted. The Sultan of Turkey, after listening to the protests of the Armenian patriarch against the abuse of Christians in Armenia, promised that reforms should at once be introduced in the overnment of that province. ‘The patriarch ereupon withdrew his resignation, which he had previously insisted upon the sultan ac- coptine. ‘here is good authority for the statemont that the British government is preparing a local government bill for Ireland. One feature. of the measure is the creation of county coun- cils; another is the delegation of power to deal with railways and simiur enterprises. It is possible that the scheme will include the aboli- tion of the office of vicer: It 1s stated that Stanley has informed the French publisher of his biography that he will devote ib esevete, of the edition toward the abolition of the African trade. ‘The Welsh signal men were ety amass mecting in Cardiff Sunday when the news was brought to them that their demands had been granted by the railway companies and that all tho matters in dispate wero settled, The meting at once broke amid great re- joicing. + ; The pope bas appointed the Abbot Schom of Harzburg archbii of Bamberg.

In point of fact, i may be truthfally said that it is without am equal in this respect any where in the world These avermonts are borne out by the figures given below, which are compiled from the eworn weekly statements printed in the paper on ench 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 Tur Sram on the 18th of January, 18%. Briefly stated, the points upon which the above claim is based are these: That— 1. The Star has three times the ciren- tation oi 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 te- gether!! 3. The Star has @ larger and fuller circulation in the city where printed, im proportion to reading and purchase ing population, than any other news Paper in the world!!! 4. The Star has the largest regular and permanent home circulation ef any two-cent afternoon paper in the United Stntes 1112 In support of these claims and to show the constantly increasing circulation of the paper, sttention is invited to the figures following: DAILY CIRCULATION IN I835-S6-87-88-8R, 1SS3. 1886. 1887, 188s, 199—, JAN...20,486 23,388 23,470 26,356 27.848 Fes...22,029 24,321 26,299 27,161 (28,200 MaR...23,549 25,594 26,009 27,490 34.766 APk...22,572 24,227 25,575 27,166 20.8352 May. 22,474 24,359 25,742 26,722 29,616 JONE..21,933 23,902 23,116 27,453 30,173 JOLY. 21,406 23,186 24,870 26,363 29,650 AUG...21,445 22,364 24.850 25,521 25,505 SEPT..21,033 22,302 24,905 25,324 25,478 Oct...21,497 21,701 24,807 23,946 30,329 Nov...22,049 23,651 25,697 US.S14 $1,053 DkC...23,000 24,687 26,466 26,752 31,633 Av'ge.22,123 23,682 25,454 27,082 30,090 Increase + 1,559 1,503 1,595 3,008 Of ‘this remarkable average aggregate of 30,090 copies circulated daily, no more tha 1,102 copies are sent out of the city by mail, and 1,106 goto suburban places, by express, railway trains, ete., loaving as « net circulstion im 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 permancht sub- } scribers. f 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 reguiarly 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 there fore gives Tue Stan a distinctive and enviable position in modern journatism, 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 sce& and know where to find THE LARGEST RETURNS FROM THE*MONEY PalD OUT FOR ADVERTISING. This is proven by the growth of Tue Stan's advertising patronage Nothing cap more surcly illustrate the esteem in which «ny article is beld 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 pretentiouscompetition, The figures following tell the story on this point: NUMBES OF NEW ADVERTISEMANTS sRINTED Lt 885-806-687 88-8, 1886. 1857. 3,200 3,613 as47 4,669 3.478 3,393 4,522 BBSL 2.170 » 1858, 1SS9. 4,586 ti j £ 8 geaG iE in the way of tax sales, poll lists, election returns, etc., such as occasionally swell the business of In coaclasion, it is only necessary to say that, fm proportiog to the extent and high charactet Of its circulation, Tax Sran's advertising ratet ‘take rank with the very lowest in the country, and to add, finally, that every statement hereis made can be abundantly verified THE CIi- CULATION OF THE PAPER IS SWORN TO; OPENTO THE PUBLIC, AND ITS BOOKS 4N INTEREST SN THEIR EXAMINATION,
