THE MOST IMPORTANT PRIZE FOR RIFLE srocT- ING EVER OFFERED IN THE UNITED STATES— ‘THE D.C.N.G. WI'L HOLD THE INTERNATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP FOR A YEAR AT LEAST. (Stall Correspondence of Tux Evexrxe Stan, New York, N.Y., Sept. 14 Im one of the fierces: storms of wind and rain that ever swept over the emerald visage of Creedmoor the District of Columbia Na- tional Guard team yesterday won the biggest rifleman’s prize offered in the United States-— the great international Hilton trophy—defeat- ing the best teams of New York and New Jersey in the struggle for supremacy. There are many prizes offered at the fall meeting of the Nations Ritle Association, but the most of them would fail to drawa paying at- tendance were it not for the central contest of the year, the fight in which the Washington men came off victorious, The Hilton trophy is the foundation of the program. and those who i, through their representa- ing of which they may well be proud.

The record is great and complete. OUR BOYS ON THEIR GOOD BEHAVIOR. ‘There was a great deal of caroful preparation on Friday night. Throughout the week the quiet demeanor and indisputable sobriety of the Washington team bad been the subject of | much favorable comment, and on the eve of the struggle the local soldier boys were more than ordinarily circumspect. At 9 o'clock every member of the little aggregation was in the dormitory (which was none too big) hard at work making all necessary preparation for the morrow. Kitles were carefully examined and | eleaned and every part was tested thoroughly. ‘Uriggers were adjusted so.as to be in condition tu satisfy the most exacting inspector, and the condition of uearly every bullet that was to be fired was critically inquired into. Hopes and fears were freeiy expressed. the former being in a decided majority, and yet everyone of the little company could hardly help feeling depressed when the solitary lamp was extin- guished and no sound broke the continuity of windy and rainy dynamies on the roof and ve- ‘There was a realizing sense that they Ts in a strange land.” MARKSMEN UNSHELTERED FROM A TWENTY-MILE BREEZE. The first premonition of dawn had barely put in an appearance when it became evident that Saturday was going to be what Quartermaster Singleton denominated ‘‘a holy terror.” A wind storm made loose clapboards rattle and strained tent ropes to their utmost capacity. Occasionally a cloud would rofl by and it in- iably dropped a few thousand gallons on the drenched earth znd washed-out buildings. For the men who were going to shoot there was but little breakfast, Fully Jaden stomachs are by no means conducive to keen eyesight or steady nerves. The imitation meal being over beits were buckled, rifles shouldered, and then a move was made to the 200 yards firing point. Just then there was no rain, but a gule of wind was doing its best to uproot things and dump them in the ocean. _ A little preliminary prac- tice in those atmospheric conditions was hardly reassuring to the band of Washingtonians and the appearance of things did not improve in the least when it became known that M. Pollard had been unlucky enough to draw as- siguments to the most exposed targets at the short range. Behind New York and of inesti- mable value in checking the force of the storm was a row of tents; New Jersey also was bene- fited more or less by the spread of canvas, but poor old Washington cuught the 20-mile breeze right in the neck. This was a novel ex- perience for most of the members of the team; they had never had any rough weather prac- tce and kuew not what to do to meet it ‘THE INTERSTATE MATCH. The first score to be shot was the 200 yards in the interstate match, and when each man had fired the reqtfisite ten shots Washington was away in the rear with a total of 412, just 40 ints behind New York and 22 points behind New Jersey. Both the latter teams were com- posed of skilled riflemen of long exporience; they refrained from nervousness, something that was a trifle apparent in two or three of the D.C.N.G. men. Lieut. Johnstone got 43, however, and Capt. Cash had 42. ‘Then commenced the struggle for which the interstate score had simply been practice, Oniy two members of the team—Capt. James E. Bell and Lieut. Graham—made as high as 31 out of the possible 35, but the others bunched along well up and constructed a total of 327, 8 points behind New Jersey and 15 points to the rear of New York. INEXCUSABLE DELAY. Dinner was in order before the 500 and 600- yards work should begin, but there was only a little of Landlord Scully's food eaten by Maj. Pollard and his men. Everyone was at the 500-yards firing poiut as soon as possible and « few practice pool shots were fired. Two o'clock was the time set for closing the pool targets and going on with the match, but the hour ar- rived and departed without apparently attract- ing any attention from the authoritie Gen. Robbins, the assistant executive officer, clad in yellow oilskins, was prone at one of the firing points, coaching New York men on to the targets, aud apparently oblivious of the rights of the visiting teams, who were shivering in the storm that lad chilled many of them through. ‘NEW JERSEY'S PROTEST. Attempts to break up this bold discrimination and manifest unfairness met with nothing but repulse and then, when the matches had been deiayed more than half an hour, Gen. G. EF. P. Howard, captam of the New Jersey team, deciared his intention of taking | his men off the field as an emphatic protest against such conduct as was being induiged in by the management. That came very near to starting things up, but not quite. An extra- ordmarily heavy torrent of rain stopped even conversation for awhile. and when the first and most tierce gust was over and every one was ready to proceed it wus discovered that black- boards and chalk were not proper things with which to record scores in such weather More time was lost in manufacturing score boards of rough lumber on which the figures were marked with lead pencil, but Capt. Shepherd used the utmost expedition and ail was ready at 3:10. one hour aad twenty minutes after the appointed time. All this was TO THE ADVANTAGE OF NEW YoRK. ‘The Empire State team was ahead at 200 yards. and if it could only chop the score off there it would win, and the chances for victory was good at 500 yards, because darkness would almost surely intervene before anything could be done at 600 yurds. Very rapidly was the ten rounds in the interstate disposed of. Washing- ton making 49% to New York's 504 at that range, New Jersey being third with 481. The result was the winning of the interstate match by New York, the totals being: New York, 986; New Jersey, 945, District of Columbia, 938. BEGINNING THE GREAT CONTEST UNDER ADVERSE CIRCUMSTANCES. Maj. Pollard was not at all sure of the integ- rity of the markers, and he desired to send Private Roberts, the team supernumerary, into the pits, but Gen. Robbins would not allow it. although he advanced no reason why the re- quest should not be granted. It is always al- Jo elsewhere. Not with the kindest feeling toward tho management Washington com- menced to shoot at 500 yards for the Hilton trophy. Gen. Ordway's boys had had much the worst of the target deal at 200 yards. bat they were infinitely worse off nt the mid Fauges, for there they were on the extreme lett | and the wind blew ali the smoke from tRe guns | of the adversaries in froutof their eyes, it! Bas tough, very tough. but nobody kicked, ‘The rain came down at the same old rate und the wind blew seventeen flags in thirty-four different directions at one time, but that smoxe clung to the ground and almost continuously obstructed the vision of the District. men. Efforts were made to ameltorate the excessively Moist conditions by a liberal use of rubber Diankets, but nothing was of any avail. Each man in his turm iaid down in the mud aud put in his seven shots witoout a murmur at tne ebillincss which veuetrated tw the marrow. | ' Ofcasionally a flash of light and long growis of thunder would break the meteor- per —— — wind —_ Sages’ but = arp reports of ex) joding car! Tepeate: themeslves rewelarly and with such effect that when the 500 yards’ work was done the total was 351. New York had 359 and its 200 _ lead of 15 points, while Jersey had fallen ack to 341. LONG RANGE SHOOTING IX THE DARK. Oh, how the Manhattan people prayed for sudden darkness then. They knew that the District men had the best of them at the longer range, but the darkness would not come fastenough. The light, however, was mis- erable enough. No base ball team would have played in it, but the rifleweu managed to see the targets 600 yards away. New York was the first to coase firing and New Jersey was only a little behind their neighbors, Up to this time there were not two of the Washing- tonians who believed themselves anywhere 1 the rac, but every man shot as if his life de- pended on it. It mattered nothing that the storm had washed the black of the bull's-eyes down to the bottom of the targets. They guessed the location of the circle and got there with suprising frequency. So dejectedly satis- fied were most of them that they were knocked out that they returned to the hotel to await the doleful and official tidings, The Jersey- men believed the result was close, and the New Yorkers were evidently certain of their own defeat. but no one seemed to have any figures that were worth auything. Those who remained ou the range clustered around the feet of Maj. Pollard, who was firing THE LAST SHOT FOR WASHINGTON, Nerves and muscies wore sympatictically tense as the major sighted hie rifle and com- menced to press on the trigger. Many believed the result hinged upon that one shot, and Capt. Cash so intimated to the major. News of that description would scare some men so that they would fail to hit the surface of the earth, but it only tightened the major's grip and steadied his arms. It seemed as though every man in the crowd was firing that shot. Each held his breath and in imagination pressed upon the “Bang” went the tridge and the Up went the trap in front of the target and there was a simultancous ery of Hie’s on.” That was a siow marker, but everything was forgiven when the white disk marked a bull’s-eye mathematically in the center. What a shout went up! THE OFFICIAL COUNT, Capt. Shepherd, the executive officer, was immediately surrounded by men who wanted the result, but nervousness and rain made it necessary that the score cards in the office be seeu. Gen, Spencer went along to look after the interests of Jersey, while Capt. Cash, Lieut, Harries and Private Walter Cash took care of Washington. As rapidly as possible Capt. Shepherd added up the totals, but it scomed like a week's wait. New York was first shown as possessing all the merits contained in 986 points, then New Jersey was given its aggre- gate of 998, and last, but not least, did the cap- tain’s pencil credit the District of Columbia with 1,017. Who could keep still? Capt. Cash and his brother were near the door, anxious beyond cription, Lieut. Harries was leaning over Capt. Shepherd's shoulde “The figures are ofti said the executive officer, but before he could enunciate another word the room rang with the cry, “And Wash- ington wins the Hilton trophy with one thou- sand and seventeen!” WILD WITH Joy. Crash! A door had been flung elmost off its hinges and with the speed of a sprinter Walter Cash vas making for the hotel. Through the crowd on the porch he dashed and the beds stairs he climbed three or four at a time, with the other members of the trio not far behind. The team was fn its big room und the an- nouncement, incoherently and breathlessiy made, made features almost unrecognizable with joy. Some of the men cried, others shouted and laughed and danced. They em- braced each other with a forcefulness that would have been painful under any other cir- cumstances, and they acted generally lke the veriest lot of Junatics any asylum was ever troubled with. Not a man could find words to express his views on the situation and no one lost any time looking for terms; each waid whatever came uppermost, CONGRATULATIONS, Marching in lock-step and apparently much tickled as the rest of the crowd came the first batch of visitors to congratulate the victors—they were members of a mock order denominated *‘The Federation of Associated Riflemen.” the Jersey team and a number of }- | team. With them came the members of e New York Then there was more cheering. Gen. Spencer of New Jersey made a very pleasant speech. in which he congratulated the Wash- ington men on their success and invited them to visit Sea Girt—the Jersey range. P. Howard also made a few complimentry r marks and reinforced Gen. Spencer's invit tion. commeuced to, but he was tov much uffected by the victory and the congratulations to be able to keep down an obstreperous Ii throat. One of the officers on the New York team caida few pleasant things, and then the Jer by Li Gen. G, E. Major Pollard responded, or rather he ip in his and District teams were duly initiated, ut. Wells, into membership in “The ederation of Associated Kitlemen.” ‘The initiation ceremonies were quite humorous, Cheers were then given for eve and when been it was evident that no on neglected in the distribution of vocal honors, the New Yorkers gave the cheer of their na- tional guard, When the crowd had gone the team helda little meeting of its own, and it cheered itself more than hoarse in expressing its apprecia- tion of the labors of certain members of its temporary organization. It was a genuine love feast aud MUTUAL ADMIRATION society. None of the team had eaten cither breakfast or dinner, but noone wanted supper. Appetite had succumbed to appetite. Moxt of them madean attempt to eat something, and it was while engaged in this endeavor that Gen. Rob- bins and Capt. Shepherd entered the dining room and handed Maj. Pollard the bronze medals which were for tue members of the They were distributed ‘the me are not ornate, but th @ sentimental value that is surprisingly high.

Individual score, ——, Team score, ———.” NoW FoR nowr. It didn’t take much time to pack up baggage and by 8o’elock the tcam was ready to start for home. Sergt. Corrie of the twelfth New York played farewel’ solos on his cornet and he played as well as he shoots; the crowd cheered and shook hands «i again; the rain ceased to pour and the came out; the Wagons were luaded up, # friendly somebody near the hotel fired a parting salute and the 1890 Creedmoor was a thing of the past—a wet, muddy, windy, disagreeable, glorious. vie- torious memory.

LOCAL WINNERS IN THE OTHER MATCHES. The precise positions of members of the team in individual matches cannot be deti- nitely stated yet because the returns could not be made up on Saturday night, but the prize Winuers are all known, In the Judd match, as previously announced in Tae Star, local win- hers were Major Pollard, Corpl. J. M. Stew, Lieut. F. L. Graham and Lieut W. B. Jo! stone. In the President's match Corpl. Stewart and i, suguished themselves, Lieut. Graham again disti the former making 42 and the latter 43 at 600 yards out of a possible £0. One-half of the team secured prizes in the governor's match at 400 yards, ‘The possible jas 105, and of thi Capt, Cash had 101, Lieut. 0. H. Harries, 100; Lieut, Graham, 99; Capt. James E.

Stewart and Private Cash each have 45. Lieut, Graham won the first prize in the Steward match with 73 out of a possible 75, Yrivate Walter Cash is sixth and Capt, Cush soventh, CREEDMOOR NOTES. Nota little credit is due Lieut, Thos. D. Singloton, He was detailed in general orders as during Thursday ani Friday ho was lly captain of the New Jersey team. Lieut. Singleton has a convivial sonl and if any Jerseyman saw two bull’s-eyes on one target on Saturday all the blame can be Jaid at the door of Thomas D, Private Roberts was the supernumerary, but ‘a8 no one on the team was too sick to face the targets Mr. Roberts had no opportunity to dis- tinguish himself asa marksman. He was ox- tremely useful, however, and cheerfully did all in his power to ameliorate the toughness of the situation as longas it was tough. Ho would make an ideal quartermaster sergeant. Sergeant Mountjoy, a member of the Penn- sylvania National Guard, rendered the District team invaluable service during the matches on Saturday. He is an old Creedmoor man and knows a thing or two. With a glass he “spotted” the marking, and onmore than one occasion prevented a scorer giving the New York team more than wasits duc. He also made the discovery that there were eight “apecial” s being used “by the New York team, all of them light on the tigger. A pro- test might easily have been made, but it wasn’t; the District boys won anyhow. One of those who did much to bring abont the result was Major H. B. Cilley, inspector general of rifle practice for the state of New Hampshire. . He was with the party until Saturday noon. He left too soon to witness the victory. A detachment of army engineers is in camp at Creedmoor, Thoy became very friendly with the Washingtonians. and worked like beavers for their success, Some of them stuck to the telescopes through all of Suturday’s storm “spotting” targets and doing the many little things for which no equivalent can easily be rendered, Sages eee 5 KILLED HIS MOTHER’S LOVER. Frightful Crime of a Twenty-Year-Old English Boy. A horrible and unusual murder startled the residents of Conway road, Plumstead, London, Friday, The circumstances are so peculiar and the motive of the deed so remarkable that the most wide-spread interest has even thus quickly been aroused in the case, and there is | already speculation as to the probable conse- quences to the marderer. Awidow by the name of Lyons, living on Conway road, which is ahighly respectable residence street, populated by the middle classes, has been known to the neighborhood a3 wn unusually attractive and somewhat vivacious woman for the past five years, She isa plump and pleasing blonde of the quiet but cffective type, whose goings and comings have never been sufficiently nurcasonable to attract adverse remark, but whose evident pop- ularity with the officers of the garrison at Wool- wich led some of her garrulous acquaintances to criticise her method of living. ‘Lhe widow's son Walter, a morose, unhappy youth, aged twenty, had a mediocre education and an ab- normal respect for whatever he considered.to be right. young man had frequent quar- hh his mother. Iter Lyons is # clerk in the royal arsenal, On Thursday night about 12 o'clock Walter re- turned to his home and, mounting the stairs to his own room, heard voices coming from the chamber occupied by his mother, Entering to see who it might be that was talking at that hour he found his mother had retired, and sit- ting on the side of the bed was a non-commis- sioned artillery officer named Stewart, only partly dressed. ‘Tho boy stopped at the’ door an instantand, then striding to the bedside with a ciasped knife in his hand, which he had hastily drawn from his pocket, he shouted at his mother, ‘What does this mean,” and his mother replied, "My son, 1 intend’ marrying this gentleman.” Walter, without a word, but scowling at the officer, turned and left the room, closing the door violently behind him, He went down to the kitchen, found a large carving knife and then left the house. Not long after this Stew- art started for his home. Aw he stepped into the street Walter, who had all_ this time been concealed in the shadow of the doorway, sprang at him, and with a savage thrust of the knife plunged the weapon into the officer's breast, completely severing his heart and killing him instantly. As if not satisfied with the deed, the boy sprang ures the prostrate form and hacked it with the knife until the street was spattered with blood and a pool had formed where the man fell, All the while the boy was thus brutally hacking the defenseless man he w: crying at the top of his voice, “I said I'd do mothor, the first time I caught you,” Mrs. Lyons was locking trom the window and witnessed the awful crime. She screamed and ran to the door as quickly as possible, but could do nothing to stay the murderous hand of her enraged boy. She then threw herself on the body of the officer and then took his head in her lap, vainly trying to brmg him back to life. Crowds assembled, attracted by the noise, and the young fiend was jocked up. = se° A SOMNAMBULIST’S DISCOVERY. He Locates Treasure Hidden at the Outbreak of the Late War. Aremarkable somnambulistic feat was per- formed a few nights ago by Christopher Med- way of Cave City, Ky. Mr. Medway is a prom- inent lawyer and a scion of one of Kentucky's oldest families. In 1861, at the bre: of the war, his father packed up his silver plate, which was very valuable, and hid it in the Mammoth Cave. This was done in the midst of great hurry and contusion, and owing to some oversight the place was left unmarked, and when, in 1865, the Medways wished to dig the silver up no one could recollect with any certainty the spot, and though it was sought for, off and on, for years it was never located, and, the numerous excavatious resulting in no discovery, it was finally believed that some one had stolen the box and refilled the hole. Mr. Medway’s father diea convinced that it was #0, aud for more than ten years no one gave further thought to the matter, But re- cently Mrs, Medway revived the sitbject by re- lating the story to some frieuds in her hus- band’s hearing, and that gentleman says he went to bed wondering if his fatner’s betief in the theft of the box was correct, and that on falling asleep he re-enacted the scene of the | removal and burial of the silver at which he | was present, though only a boy of 14. When he awoke he found /himse!f lying on the und close to a Jarze rock and in biack darkuess, except for a taint gleam of light in the far distance. At first he experienced some dificulty in realizing where he was, but when he did, concluded on remembering his dream that he had managed to slip by the night watchman into the cave, and his memory sin- gularly aroused in his slumbers, had found his wiry to the spot where he had seen the silver buried twenty-nine years before, arking the rock he made his way to through which he saw the morning light stealiug, and as he was in his night dress. called to the watchman and dispatched lim after his clothes, He then hired workmen to dig in the spot where he had found himself on awaking. und svon had the satisiaetion of seeing thei lift out tho case of silver, which be- iug opened, was found intact, haste ee DROWNED WHILE BOATING. A Man Deliberately Upsets a Boat, with Fatal Results. The annual regatta of Varuna Boat Ciub of South Brooklyn Saturday was supplemented ya fatal accident, which ocenrred the same evening at about 10 o'clock in the bay, be- tween Fort Hamilton and Bay Ridge. It ap- pears that @ party of five men and two young women went out fora row in a small boat be- longing to the club, and when about opposite | 94th street one of the men insisted upon going ashore. He declared that he would upset the boat unless they complied with his wishes, whereupon he arose and either fell or jumped overboard. He grasped the boat by the gun- wale and it was soon overturned, all bands be- ing precipitated into the water, A boat was sent from the shore, which rescued four men and one of the women. The other woman was drowned and her body recovered yesterday morning. ‘he drowned woman has not yet been fully identified, but her name is sup- yan to be Lizzie Oker, a resident of Brook- yn. She is described'as a young woman of it twenty-two years of age, of prepossessit appearance and well dressed, haying a gol watch and chain, with Qiamonds and other jewelry. The man who capsized ‘the boat is supposed to have reached the shore in safety, but has not yet been apprehended. coe cman A RIOT IN CHURCH.

THE EVENING STAR is offered to the pad lic, im good faith and with confidence, as THB BEST LOCAL ADVERTISING MEDIUM IN THE UNITED STATES. In point of fact, # may be truthfully said that it is without am | equal in this respect any where im 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 each Monday in the year, and condensed {rom the sworn tabular statements showing the average dady circulation of the paper during | the year 1859, published in Taz Sram on the 18th of January, 18%. Lriefly stated, the points upon which the above claim is based are these: That— 1. The Star has three times the ciren- lation of auy other paper in Washing- ton! 2% The Star’s circulation in Washing- ton is double that of all the other daily Papers published im the city added to- gether!! . 3. Zhe Star has a larger and falicr circulation in the city where printed, tn proportion to reading and purchas: ing poputation, than any other news: paper in the world!!! 4. The Siar has the targest regular and permanent home circulation of any two-cent afternoon paper im the United States 111 In support of these claims and to show the constantly increasing circulation of the papet, Sttention is invited to the figures following: PALLY CIRCULATION IN JRS5-R6-87-88-8, ISS&. 1886.

Of this number, 21,142 were delivered daily by regular carriers at the homes of permancat sub ecribers. The remaining 6,740 copies represent the sales over the office counter, ut the news stands, cnd 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 fumily circle, While its aggregate circulation there fore gives Tur Sran a distinctive aud enviable position in modern journalism, the fullness of tts home circulation, the extent to which | it is relied upon by members of the houschold, and particularly by the pur- chasing portion of the community, are the marked characteristics of the paper, to which no other daily journal now published can furnish a parailel, 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 bueinces 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 Tux Stan's advertising patronage, Nothing can more illustrate the | estcem in which any 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- eurely verse claims and pretentious competition.
