Riflemen Complain of Discriminations in Favor of New Yorkers. ‘INE DISTRICT MARKSMEN AND THEIR STANDING— SHOOTING IN TUE RAIN--THE MATCHES TODAY— CONSIDERABLE GRUMBLING ON ACCOUNT OF THE MANAGEMENT OF THE RANGES. Btaft Correspondence of Tue EvENING STAR. Creepmoou, L.L, Sept. 12. One more day of shooting and probably of rain and the fall meeting of the National Rifle Association of the State of New York (Limited) will be over. By tomorrow evening all the prizce will bo won or fost and the victors and vanquished will have gone to their respective homes. The victors will probably be more than plensed; the vanquished may or may not be satisfied. It all depends on the various dis- Positions and temperaments involved. Some of the winners will growl, for much dissatis- faction is expressed with the management of the corporation which controls Creedmoor. Visiting markamen say that it has been evident almost from the beginning of the shooting that outsiders were not wanted here and that N York was the only state that was really “‘i So marked have ; 80 easy has it been to see the discriminations against strangers that many have wondered why representatives of other states were in- Vited to put in an appearance. DISCRIMINATION COMPLAINED OF. ‘The most important of all discriminations, according to the complaints of visitors, and the one which gives New York the advantage in the most important individual matches,is the handi- cap given the Remington gan and the black eye which the Springfield gets every time it uts in un appexrance. Not one of the New Yorkers wilt aduit that the Remington gun is inferior to the Springfield, and they enn offer no logical reason why they should be the con- tinuous beneficiaries of one,two or three points at the ranges where the Kemington guns have undoubted advantage. Neither protest not sument is of avy avail under the present man- agement There was another annoying occurrence yes- terday which many visitors complained of bit- terly. although no one could say it was done purposely. Old “shots” who have been com- ang to Creedmoor for years insist that the trick is worked at every available opportunity. When a man who is shooting protests a shot: . insists that the marker did not give him the last shot made, every tar- e closed up while a mounted officer rides to the pits and examines the target in question. Quite frequently the markers take advantage of such an opportunity to do some “fixing” a lot of valuable time in wasted, Yesterday the president's match for the mid- rauge championship of the United States was contested and it was noticed again and again that whenever a Washington or Massachusetts or Pennsylvania or New Jersey competitor was doing exceedingly wella New Yorker would protest against the marking given one of hia (the New Yorker's) shots. Every target would then be closed and while the officer rode down to examine the target the gans would get cold and the weather conditious undergo more or Jess change. This would invariably result in the first shots after the “waits” being of little value, and that was precisely what was aimed at Gen. G. E. P. Howard of New Jersey. who Was captain of the American team that went to England in 1883, is one of the most thoroughly disgusted men on the ground, and he discusses the situation with a good deal of freedom. He Was one of the victims of the “protest” busi- ness and he and his team have suffered consid- erably because of the way in which the meet- ing is run in the interests of New York, and New York alone. The Jerseymen use the Springfield gun and have naturally been strong sympathizers with the District boys, MAJ. POLLARD'S TEAM. Satisfaction is on the features of every mem- ber of Maj. Pollard’s team. More than a fair proportion of the little crowd have secured good positions in the various matchea, Some- thing of which all aro especially proud were the performances of Sergeant Stewart and Lieut. Grafham, in the President's match. ‘The winuer of that event, Maj. Gaus of New York, was but one point ahead of Stewart and Stewart was only one point ahead of Graham. ‘The allowance given Remington guns had a good deal to do with the New Yorker's winning. Both Stewart «nd Graham won prizes of a minor cash value. Wind and rain in about equal proportions, and both of avery violent nature, have made the past three days uncomfortable beyond de- seription. Fine shooting has been almost im- possible even to those who are familiar with the meteorological eccentricities that prevail here atall periods. Today the rain is less heavy, but the strong wind puzzles the best of shots. It was almost a pitiable sight when the ington menu who were im the President's match laid down at 500 yards. The storm pelted down on them with tremendous force, Ouly two meu shot together at a target and their firing was alternated. In a shelter tent to their rear the other members of the team stood or sat, hoping and praying that the two competitors would make nothing but “bulla.” ‘Then when the targets were cloxed how somo- thing akin to profanity arose to the lips of the mildest of the group and continued to arise while the rain dashed ceaselessly upon the soaked and motionless forms of the riflemen who were waiting for the signal to recommence firing. THE CREEDMOOR RANGE. Creedmoor range ison Long Island, about fourteen miles from New York city. It is on the narrowes’p .¢ of tke Island, about mid- way between the Atliitc ocean and Long Island Sound and not mor> than four miles from either. The necessity fora large rifle range Was first made practically apparent about eigh- teen years ago, and in 1873 the state of New York appropriated a sum of money with which seventy acres of land were purchased. Since then thirty additional acres have been leased and an effort is beg made by the state to con- trol 150 ucres more. This lutter accession is a necessity. Last year the sum of $500 was paid people whove property was rendered practically valueless because New York National Guards- men would tire over the top of the butts— thirty or forty fect above the targets—and scare folks with unexpected bullets. No one wauts to farm jand that produces nothing but misshapen lead, hence the damages and necessity for un addi- tiowal purchase. Noue of the toilers behind the Tange ever get hurt. but they bave had many narrow escapes by being absent from places where bullets fell’ From the beginning of the ange to the present time only one man has been burt and he had his arm pierced by a ball, This is a remarkably good showing when it is remembered that more than 7,000 individuals pump lead at the targets in the course of the year. When the range was first established there were but fifteen targets; now there are thiety-four. Of this number twenty-cight are Of iron, while the others are canvas. ANTIQUATED EQUIPMENTS. When the state legislature next meets it will @ppropriate $25,000 for the purchase of land and the improvement of the range. I asked Gen. Robbius if new targets would not be part of the new equipment and bis reply was an emphatic negative. In fact he was rather in- dignant at the idea that the state of New York ought toaccept and use the targets which are now the standard in the regular army. Antiquated ideas and methods are largely am vogue. Now, at tire close of the nine- teenth century, there is no telephonic con- nection between the various firing points and targets and the bare mention of such a valua- bie and time-saving device as an electric target arouses in the breasts of the management feel- ings very closely akin to those which animated the mob that smashed Humphrey Arkwright's first cotton loom. The National Rifle Association of the state of New York (limited) has but a slight grip on a It has the right to practice over the range for ten da: ear for ten years and may also shoot matches here whe: adjutant General of the state will give permission. THE DISTRICT TEAM. In spite of the many drawbacks the visit bas done the Washington men lots of good.

Rockvitie, Sept. 12, Quite a breeze of excitement was created here today by the arrest of several young men charged by the officials of the Bultimore and Ohio Railroad Company with throwing stones, egg3, &c., at a passenger train while waiting at the depot at this place on Friday night of last week. The dificulty appears to have origi- nated between the parties charged with the as- sault and members of a traveling comedy company, who had given a performance at the Town Hall that evening, and during which, it is claimed, remarks were made of a disgusting character, causing several of the andience to leave the hall be- fore the “show” was concluded. After the performance the company was followed to the depot by a hooting crowd of persons and when about to enter the cars the stones and eggs were thrown at them, some of them striking the cars and the officers of the traiu. The de- tectives of the company were at once put to work and the result so far has been the issu- ance of five warrants for arrest, two of tho parties giving bail for a hearing before Justice Stonestreet at this place tomorrow. The other three have uot yet been arrested, Q. A. and 5. 8. Gloyd, a8 executors of Rebecca Gloyd, have wold a farm near Guithersburg containing 158}; acres to Mr. B. Talbott for $2,400, A parochial school will be onened at this place on Monday next by Father Rosensteel, aster of St. Mary’s Catholic Church, with iss Cecilia Dyer of Washington as teacher. Miss Rose Walker of Browningsville, this county, is now in attendance at the Shenandoah Normias School, Basie City. Va. Much interest is manifested here in the an- nual meeting of tho ‘Lrotting Horse Breeders’ Association at Benning’s next week, and a large number of the people of the county will be in attendance. As the time for the meeting of the registers of voters approaches the excitement in regard to the stringent provisions of the new law creases. A gentleman well acquainted wi the people of thisclection district hus made a careful inspection of the list of voters and esti- mates that under a strict construction of the law the democrats will in this one locality lose twenty-four votes while the republicans’ loss will not be more than four on account of non- residence, Mr. Frank G.

Yesterday afternoon there arrived at the Bal- timore and Potomac depot blind woman forty-five or fifty years old, giving the name of Ellen Wilkinson, and her two daughters, one seventeen or eighteen years old who appears to be simple or idiotic, the other ten or eleven years old, a cripple using crutches, They stated that they came from Old Point Comfort and want.d a pension for the hasband and father of the family, who had been a soldier, they said, and they asked to be sent to the Soldiers’ Home to stay there till they gota pe yn. The mother stated that she had had & pension but that her papers had been stolen. Officer Lamb took charge of the family, and sending for the sixth precinct patrol wagon they were given quarters at the New Jerscy avenue station, As they were being placed in the wagon the youngest of the party gave a clue to the object of their vivit by saying: “Mother will want to go out tomorrow to see the town and see if she can't pick up some change.” Mrs. Wilkinson and daughters remained at the sixth precinct station last night and this morning had not made up their minds what to do or where to go. Their talk this morning showed that they aro very ignorant and are no more or less than female tram; From their stories it appears thut they have in the last few ears been in Alabama, ‘Tennessee, North Caro- ina and Virginia and don’t care much where they go next if people will give thom something toeat. They will be given their choice of leav- ing town or going down to the work house as vagranta, AN IMAGINARY PARADISE FOR PAUPERS. It would seem from the multitude of lame, halt and blind persons and other unfortunates who come or are sent to this District that there in impression abroad that the Federal cay tal is a haven of rest for all such aftlicted per- sons and that once here the government will see to it that they are cared for, Sanitary Offi- cer Frank has one or more such persons brought to him daily. With some of these people there is an apparent indifference as to the disposition tobe made of them, so that they are not compelled to work; but often adepts in the art of begging are to be found among them. Some of these seem to have regular circuita, In the case of a female beg- gar—a regular—the officer seems to have put a stop to her visits here by warning her the last time he furnished her transportation out of the city that the next ticket he gave her would be to the work house by the “Black Maria,” ON WHEELS. Aweek ago three colored boys trundled to police headquarters a heavy-built, aged colored woman who was boru without legs and had been wheeled here from Manassas, Hor chariot was made from a heavy goods’ box, mounted on two wooden wheel ind the two boys at the tongue furnished the motive power. SAY8 THE GOVERNMENT OWES HIM BIO MONEY. Mr. Frank has another case on hand out of the usual run—an old white man nearly cighty years of age named Gillipsie, who claims that the government owes him a large amount of money for horses taken from him in Missour during the war, and says he has come here to get his moncy. He was stopping in one of the cheap lodging houses on ist strect, and some days since applied to Officer Frank for a clean shirt, but the officer could not accommodate him, He then left and about two hours after- ward was found sick in the fifth precinct and Mr. Frank sent him to the hospital. He is now nd has made application to Mr. Frank for portation, and it is expected he will start home next week. bd ——_+-— TARIFF ON GOODS IN BOND. Amount Needed to Get the Consign. ments Out of New York’s Custom House. Some concern has been felt in New York as to the effect of the McKinley bill in cases where goods of the classes on which the customs tariff is raised are now in bond, having been appraised at the old rates. All sorts of reports have beeu current as to the amount of money which wil] be needed to withdraw there goods 80 that they may escape the higher rates, The beara would listen to no estimate lower than 100,000,000, ‘The believers in better prices for stocks ran to the other extreme, and were certain that only $10,000,000 would be required. Collector Erhardt, to settle the dispute and to give the facts, hus issued a statement which shows thatthe duties chargeable on goods in the warchouse at New Yok September 1 were 18,447,352. Certain information. which was accepted a8 sound, was to the effect that by Octuler 1, the day on which the goods must be withdrawn if they are to escape the new duties, the duties chargeable will not be over $10,000,- “It shonid be taken into account,” continues Collector Erhardt’s official statement, ‘in con- sidering-the foregoing figures of duties (#18,- 447,352) that the pending tariff bill does not in- crease the duties on all the goods now in bond aud that therefcre the whole of the property not only need not be, but will not be, with- drawn from warehouses,” Just whut proportion of the whole sum will be withdrawn it is difficult to say, but the opi: ion of some of the deputy collectors who have had tong experience in the service is that they will not exceed one-half of the gross amount. It was said that the dry goods importers and other importers will petition Cougress to ex- tend the time for withdrawing the goods from bond. Mr. Edward Lauterbach has gone to Washington as the representative of many im- porters for this purpose, Moreover, it was said on good authority that Secretary Windom fa- vored an extension of time and would doevery- thing to forward the suggesti sds whoo ces ptt Populations of Various Cities.

Various Events, National asa’ Local, Which Form Food, for Gossip. METROPOLITAN JOURNALISM AND THE TARIFF BILL—TOO MANY PUPILS YOR THE GOTHAx SCHOOLS—JUVENILE ROBIN HOODS—TRE ORANT ‘MONUMENT—CRIME. Correspondence of Tar Evextxe Stan. New Your, September 11. If Lillian Russeli had sprained her ankle most of the ‘great dailies” would have given that important event half a column. But to the action of the United States Senate in unexpectedly advancing the date of the tariff bili from November 1 to October 1 scarcely a single New York paper more than referred in a casual line. The fact very well illustrates certain features of metro- politan journalism. Without scoffing at the importance of comic opera one may express astonishment at theories of journatiam which ignore a stroke of political management that set every importing house in New York into a fever and formed the central feature in the commercial life of the metropolis of the pres- ent week. If ratified by the conference com- mittee it will affect the import trade well into the millions. It was understood that the new tariff was not to go into effect till the ist of November and arrangements had been made accordingly, But now the work of five weeks must somehow be concentrated into one, for if goods are to get here by the Ist of October they must be shipped by the 18th or 20th. The cables were kept hot uight and day since the amendment was sprung in the Senate and every effort is being made to hurry up ship- ments, - THE YELLOW COVERED SMALL Boy. There is one variety of “crook” which tradi- tion has led us to think was indigenous ‘rather to the fresher civilization of out wild -western mtier than to the effete east. But New York ot to be easily outdone in crime, and she can point with pride this week to probably the youngest horse thieves on record. ‘Three boys of respectively nine, twelve and thitteen years of age have succeeded in stealing no leas than three valuable horses, attached to wagons. One team was captured from them by four larger outlawa, another wagon they sold, and when caught they were gayly driving in a baker's wagon drawn by one horse, and with anotuer tied to the tailboard. They had promptly eaten the few loaves of bread they found in the wagon, and were on their way to begin the life of bold bandits nnder the greenwood tree. The equip:nent of these Harlem Robin Hoods was simple, as become those who were casting aside the trammels of civilization. It consisted of a dry-goods box, an axe anda goat, all stolen. The plan was, as the monosyllabic first reader might say, to-chop-the-box-with-the-axe, and after building a tire to roast the goat and have 4 wild orgic in devouring him. It requires a vivid imagination to fancy even a smail boy appetite being tempted by the gnarled and sinewy outlines of a Harlem goat, .but perhaps they planned to acquire thus the muscle and sinew that all boys covet. Their bright dreams were rudely shattered, however, and they are now in the hands of the Children's Society, whose officers are sadly lacking in sympathy with the budding ambition to be a bandit. LOST ON THE FOOT HILLS OF PARNASSUS, There is joy in the hearts of 5,000 youngsters in New York and corresponding grief in the hearts of their parents this week, The public schools have opened and it ix found that at least that many children can not be accom- modated and must at least postpone the de- lights of being, as Dr. Blimber remarked, “young pilgrims to Parnassus.” The young pilgrims perhaps find little difficulty in re- nouncing these delights for the less intellectual ones of base ball and marbles, but their parents are naturally indignant that they should be deprived of one of the perquisites of a free boru American citizen and there is great clamor for more schools. This redund- ancy of youth would seem to indicate that New York has perhaps some grounds for adding her voice to the chorus chanted by all the cities of the United States in indignant protest that the census men did not know how to count, SCARED INTO MONUMENT MAKING, We New Yorkers are much obliged to Con- gress for obtaining for us what otherwise might have been a generation in coming. The at- tempt to remove the body of Grant stirred up the local committee hike a bonfire lighted un- der abaulky horse. After months or years of ignominous inaction they suddenly adopted a design and the work is to be promptly begun, The public, whether Philistine or artistic, has not been vouchsafed a sight at the chosen de- sign, but the lucky architect has » good record aud’probably the monument will have merit. ‘The design calls for an expenditur; of half a million dollars, but a beginning can be made with the $140,000 which the committee now has, and, as Ihave said, the work is to be tackled at once, 2 ITEMS OX TBE SHADY SIDE, In the criminal calendar several items of in- terest mark the week. The first is. that Judge Lacombe of the United States circuit court has denied an application for a writ of habeas corpus on behalf of the Japanese murderer, Jugigo. His lawyers claim that the dynamos have failed to work as inteuded, and that execution by them resulted “in fiendish and inexpressible torture.” The judge, however, decides that the statute is not unconstitutional. Whether further steps will be taken to obstruct the law cannot be told. Daring. the excite- ment caused by Kemmler’s horrible death it was freely asserted that his would be the last electrical execution, and it is still thought probable that a stay of some sort will be had so that the legislature can pass on the law be- fore further But those experiments who are are made. anxious to the Jaw have lost their first issue. With regurd to other crimes the most sensational item has been the confession of the Brooklyn fire bugs, by which it appears that number of loafers put the torch to tenement after tenement house simply on the chance of stealing a little money in the confusion--a con- fession which is not comfortubie reading for the crowded dwellers in big flats. Per contra, one sensational story of the wéek was spoiled by the true facts coming out. It was thought thwart ; that we had 2 mysterious scoundrel or maniac in town who went around throwing vitriol on ladies’ dresses, It now appears.that the vitriol was accidentally dropped from a second-story window on to the dresses ot passers-by.
