a, EVENING STAR: WASHINGTON, D. C.,: f CITY AND_DISTRICT GH The difference between a loose vague boast and an affidavit giving exact figures is a wide one. and of great significance to a person interested in the statement.

Washington’s Victorious Team Has an Enthusiastic Reception. ‘THE NATIONAL GUARD TURNSOUT TO DO HOXOR TO ITS MARKSMEN--A TRIUMPHAL MARCH IN ‘THE GLARE OF RED AND GREEN FIRE—A RE- CRPTION AT GEN. ORDWAY'S MEAD QUARTERS. The National Guard and half of Washington turned out last night to give a rousing wel- come home to the victorious riflemen, who have just sustained the reputation of the Dis- trict at Creedmoor. The reception was of an impromptu sort, having been designed only a few hours before the arrival of the train bear- ing the crack shootists, but it vas all the better for that, and there was such a crowd on the curbs, notwithstanding the short notice given. | that the services of the police were necessary ip many instances to keep the roadway clear for the troops. The assembling began at the various armories shortly after 7 o'clock, and by half past that hour the streets wero dotted | here and there With lines of guardsmen wait- ing for the word to march to the 6th street station. AT THE STATION. It was about 8:15 when the uorthern train rolled into the depos, and it was not many sec- onds later before adozen white-topped men, elad in the uniform of the National Guard of the District and carrying their riftes slung over their shoulders with broad straps, sprang from the carsand into the arms of a small committee of their fellow guardsmen waitin to tell them how glad they were to see them again and how glad everybody was that they had knocked out all their competitors in the first round, and a jot of other things, dear to the ears of Creedmoor men just home from their first shoot. Of course, each one had to show his little bronze medal and to tell of that famous last shot of Maj. Pollard’s, and it was some minutes before the start was made up the avenue. SCATTERING FIRE. Fleet fect and nimble hands had suceceded by this time in spreading a lot of fire. red and green, and other means of jollitication all along the line of march, and when the parade was started it was greeted with a perfect blaze ot light and shooting colors. First came the National Guard band, followed by the general and his staff and the first regiment. The sec- ond was right behind tho first, and there, be- tween the second and the ieft of the line, were those dozen men, half of them wearing their white helmets, the other half with their caps, and ali with their trusty rifles slung over their shoulders. They were recognized all along the line, and the cheering they received made the streets ring with sound. Here and there the iriend of one would grow jubilant and shout out his name, whereupon the favored one bowed in response. But throughout the en- tire ovation they were soldiers, and their bea ing was that of guardsmen of the Listrict. ALONG THE AVENUE. The crowd was the regulation sort, good- natured, curious, eager for # glimpse ot the heroes of the hour. A few were sadly disap- pointed in not seeing the trophy, which, they imagined, would come over on the same train, but which will reach bere by freight in half a dozen days or so. The line of march was up the avenue to the headquarters, where the rifle- men took leave of the rest of the guard and went inside to be entertained for a couple of hours by Gen. Ordway, and the other soldiers marched home. AT HEADQUARTERS. “Right by files” was the command when the team had marched past the band to a point op- posite the entrance of the guard headquarters, and the members of the team tramped up the stairs to the staff parlors, where there were substantial evidences of good will in the shape of solid and liquid retreshments, Rifles. helmets and belts were laid aside and a hollow square was formed. with Gen, Ordway aud the laden table in the center. TUE GENERAL'S SPEECTL. Glasses were filled. some with champagne, id at least one with water, and then the gen- eral delivered himself of a neatly-turned speech, in which he complimonted the riflemen npou the manner in which they plucked victory out of the jas of defeat by winuing atthe 600- yards range after having been beaten at 200 and 500. ‘Lhis he regarded as a remarkabie ex- ubition of nerve and of the true soldierly spirit. If the rest of the brignde would be ani- mated by the same spirit the District militia would be a command of which any people might be proud. He proposed the health of the team. Continuing. Gen. Ordway said that much credit was due the captain of the team, Major J. M. Pollard. and after paying the major numerous compliments he called upon that gentleman to say a few words. = MAJ. POLLARD'S REPLY. Maj. Pollard threw all the blame upon Gen. Ordway, but for whom, he said, there would have been no team and, so far as the District of Columbia was concerned, no trophy. Then came cheers for the geueral. for the major and the. team and an attack was made upon the sandwiches and drinkabies. COL, MOORE MAKES A PUN, Col. Moore made a brief speech, in the course ef which he perpetrated a villainous pun, in which his alleged creed and Creedmoor were inextricably mixed up. He concladed by making pubiic hia assurances that had the members of the team been females be would have em- braced them all. We'd have something to say about that.” yelled one of the twelve, and the laugh was on the good-natured colonel, TALKING IT OVER. ‘There was no more specch-making. ‘The bat- tle of Saturday was fought over again and again and neither the narrators nor listeners tired of the story; there was always some new feature iu it. By 10:30 the last of the little company had departed and the brilliant lights shone down on mutilated sandwiches, recumbent vottles and empty cigar boxes, in addition to those previously mentioned there were present Col. Osear F. Long, adju- tant general; Inspector General Gale, Qaarter- master General Cranford. Lieut. Col. Urell, Capt. Harry Parmenter, Capt. D. L. M. P. otto, Capt. F. H. Neumeyer, Surgeon Hender- sou, Stull Sergeant Corvaizier und Staff Ser- geant Barrow. —— An Emphatic Denial. Tothe Editor of Tux EVENING Stan: Vermit me space enongh to state in reply to i “Angus” in Tux Stan of Saturday evening that bis irsimuation that clerks in Capt. Lemon's oftice and employes of the Peusion Bureau have atany time had an “all night up the river.” as well as his assertion that any clerk in Capt. Lemon's office owes his or her position to the personal appeal or reeommendation of y employe of the Pension Bureau are un- qualitied falsehoods. If the alleged “letters of recommendation” were ever written they bave thus far failed to reach their alleged destina- tion. As “Angus” prattles about what is “‘con- sonant with the highest state of public morals” idesire to remmd him that among the virtues uably connected therewith is a tolerably ent regard for the truth. “Angus” says he has personal knowledge of the matters men- tioned by him, but carefully withholds his name from the public. Comment is unnecessary. Very respectfully A. 8. Taper. ee The Jockey Club Races. ‘The executive committee of the Washington Jockey Club at their meeting last night finally perfected arrangements for the regalar fall meeting of the club, which will commence Monday, October 20, and continue eight days. with extra days ifthe meeting warrants it. A two-mile steeple-chase course will be Iaid out at once at mer ror and this favorite kind of race will be added tothe program this year. | The program as usual will consist of five races each day. There will be a handicap each day, half a dozen two-year-old races and five steeple chases; $500 will be added to handicaps, $400 to selling and purse races and $330 to the steeple chasea. J. J.

The observance of the German festival, the Canstatter volksfest, was begun at the Schuetzen Park this afternoon at 3 o'clock: Yesterday was fixed upon as the opening day, but owing " to the rain it was de- cided’ to postpone the festivities until today. It is an occasion of merry-making and re- joicing, and jollity is king of the hour. A featnro of the exercises is the dedication of a mammoth column of fruit thirty feet high and completely covered with samplos of all the fruits of the earth ob- PRESIDENT Themen. tainable, There will be games for children and grown people, bowling, shooting, singing. music and dancing, the “seven hunters at the rabbit chase,” and three men dressed as peasants will sing the old foik songs of the native land. ‘There will be rman and English and the —— ommittee in charge is E.

The society has grown in numbers and influence and has done much good in a charitable way. ‘This volks- fest is in the general nature of a harvest festi- yal and had its origin some three-quarters of a century ago, After three successive failures in the crops there camo a good year and the pco- ple of the village of Canstatter joined in a festival tocommemorate the happy time of good hazvest, Afterward this beentne the custom throughout all the towns of Wurtem- berg, and abont ten years ago the custom was introdnced into this country, the first festival being held at Philadelphia, Seven years ; the first ono in this city was hel@ and now every fall the Germans in almost every large city in this country have their Canstatter volksfest. THE LYNCHGURG FIRE. A Loss Aggregating $175,000 and Several Persons Injured. One of the most disastrous fires Lynchburg has ever experienced occurred Sunday night about 10 o’cloek. The fire originated from some unknown cause in the rear cellar of the Western Union telegraph building, and before its progress could be checked burned out half a block on Main street, in the business heart of the city, extending from the Lynchburg National Bank to the corner of Main and 10th streets, The business firms burned out and their losses are as follows: F. A. Kinckle, loss 235,000, insurance $30,000; Lewis & Jen- ning, loss $20,000, insurance 217,000; T. N. Larkin, loss $20,000, insurance $10,000; E. Crump, loss 215,000, insurance not stated; Western Union ‘Telegraph Company, loss 10,000, no insurance; M. Eraft, loss 235,000, insurance $20,000, ‘Che loss on the buildings will aggregate $40,000 to £50,000, about half of which is covered by insurance. Some very exciting scenes attended the fire and several perséns were injured. After the flames had made considerable progress a little child in her night dress was seen at one of the upper windows of the old Cabbell Honse, in which the Western Union telegraph office was situated, looking out unconcernedly on the crowds below, the clouds of smoke almost con- cealing her from view at times. A policeman quickly brought a ladder, which was hoisted trom the top of an awning and a brave fellow ran up through the blinding smoke amid the cheers of the crowd. Taking the child in his arms he started down the ladder and had almost reached the awning when Mr. bruce. the father of tho child, suddenly made his appearance at the window and climbed out on ihe ladder. ‘the additional weight caused the awning to ive way with acrash and the ladder and its human freight were thrown to the pavement. All three were painfully hurt, Mr. Bruce so- verely so about the hips. A negro man who was on the awning holding the ladder in posi- tion had his knee-cap broken, Over Crump’s dry goods store were the rooms occupied by Gens. J. A. Early, who is absent from the city. His friends’ broke in. however, and saved his valuable papers and other effects, ‘They included a great del of war literature and correspondence of cifferent kinds, the joss of which would have been am fortune. A man named Carter from Appom: tox county, who was in the city on business and occupied aroom in the Cabbell House, had bis purse containing #600 in cash burned up. The crowd made up a generous purse for the brave colored man who was injured by the fall of the awning. At 8 a.m. yesterday morning the fire depart- ment was again summoned to the scene to put out flames in the debris. The hook-and-ladder truck, drawn by four powerful biack horses, which were still excited from the previous night's run, came to grief, anda fireman was badly burt. In making the turn from 9th into Main street the team became uumanageable and made the turn at fall speed. The truck swung around like a whip and the rear end was dashed against a telegraph pole, the helmsman sustaining serious internal injuries, A hose wagon belonging to the same station was dashed against a post on 5th street and com- pletely wrecked. PRIEST AND EK 200______ PLORER FIGHT. An Exciting Scene in the Portuguese Parliament. The reassembling of the Portuguese cortes yesterday caused great excitement throughout Lisbon, as a stormy debate on the Auglo-Portu- gnese treaty was expected., Shops and offices vere closed and thousands of citizens of all classes wended their way to the parliament buildings, which were bemeged by an enor- mous crowd clamoraus for admission hours be- fore the session opened. The authorities had taken precautions against disorder, but official interference was unuecessary, as the crowd was good natured and well behaved, Soon after the opening of the cortes Scnhor Ribeiro, minister of foreign affairs, moved the adoption of the Anglo-Portnguese treaty. He began to read the various modifications which the government had adopted in order to as- suage the pate hostility to the treaty, but be- fore he had gone fur he was silenced by the rogressist minority, the opposition members hissing and hooting so vigorously that the min- ister could not rake himself heard, Amid the tumolt Maj. Serpa Pinto, the African explorer, arose and shouted to the progressists: “Hold your tongues.” Upon this a pfogressist priest named Brandao assaulted Serpa Pinto and a lively pugilistic encounter ensued. ‘The presi- dent was utterly unable to restore order and finally suspended the sitting. When the Cortes reassembled Senhor Ribeiro introduced the English convention with the following modifications: First. The commercial stipulations regarding rivers shall not include the old province of Angola and the convention shail apply solely to goods in transit, Portugal remaining free to impose import and export duties. Second. The clause providing that no por- tion of the territory assigned to Portugal south of the Zambesi may be transferred to another power without Engiand’s consent shall be re- placed by a simple reservation giving England the preference iu the event of a transfer. third, A neutral nation, instead of Eugland, shall appoint an engineer to survey the Pun- give railroad. ‘The house referred the convention to the committee on forcign affairs, whereu) the Pprogressists moved that Lieut. Continho, who seized the British steamer James Stephenson at Chiromo, deserved the confidence of the country. The sitting was conclu in an orderly manner. senhor Ribeiro’s amend- ments to the convention produced an excellent impression. Kumors of a cabinet crisis are semi-officially declared to be untrue. A white-book dispatch shows that the modifi- cations proposed by Minister Ribeiro were the result of a conference between Lord Salisbury and the Portuguese minister to England ab Diep pe on the Sith instan ——-—-0ee Meager Financial Ald for Strikers.

His Father Believes the Reports of the All sorts of rumors aro current in New York concerning the story of Robert Ray Hamilton's alleged deathin the far west and Mr. Hamil- ton’s peculiar conduct of late gave a color of plausibility to almost any extravagant thing that was said. It was asserted by many that Mr. Hamilton was not dead, as reported, but had caused the report of his death to go abrond that he might the better conceal himself and escape many of the annoying complications which have grown out of his grotesque infatua- tion for the woman nowin tho New Jersoy state m. The account of Mr. Hami med de: which bore on its face the most apparedt authenticity. purported to come from 4 son of Dr. Norvin Green, the president of the Western Union ‘Telegraph Company. Dr. Green was unable to throw any light on the mystery. He Ict't word for all inquirers that he did not know Hamilton and that all he knew of the story of hig death was what he had seen in the newspapers. He had heard nothing from his son on the subject, He had not heard from his son for some time. The Inst news he had of him was that he was about to set out tor the Yellowstone Park region. Gen, Schuyler Hamilton, the father of the young man was found at the Windsor Hotel, prostrated over his son’s sad death. He had received no further intelligence regarding the tragedy, although he had sat up the entire night hoping some might come giving him ad- ditional details, ONLY ONE BRIEF TELEGRAM. The only information, he said, that he had from the west, besides the published reports in the newspaper: is atelegram merely saying “Ray drowne This dispatch was received by Mrs. Cassimir de R. Moore from her hus- band, who, accompanied by Gilbert M. Speir, had gone to Montana is. pe Robert Ray Hamil- ton's invitation to spend a month with him on his ranch fishing and hunting. Spier and Moore left New York August 27 and went direct to Montana. ‘They did not find Hamiiton at his ranch, as it was said that he had gone hunt- ing a few days before their arrival and was ex- pected to return inushort time, ‘The young men waited patiently for their friend to return, but in vain. Gen. Hamilton said that he was hoping against hope that the report was not true. The general said that he had not heard from his dead son since ke had gone west and the last time he saw him was the day before he started for his ranch. At that time Robert was in good health and was looking eagerly forward to the summer's vacation. ‘The general deciared that he knew nothing whatever about his son's liti- gation with his wife, Eva Hamilton, the adven- turess, and could not say whether his son had left a will disposing of his estate, As to the funeral arrangements, nothing has, as yet, been done, Itis probable that the remains will be brought east and that Kobert wiil be buried by the side of bis mother in Greenwood cemetery. DEATH ENDS THE SUIT. The death of Robert Ray Hamilton termi- nates his suit against Evangeline L, Steele, alias Eva Manu, for the ennulment of their marriage. The case was onthe calendar for the November term, and considerable testi- mony bad been taken in Elmira by a referee, who was specially appointed for that purpose. Root and Clark, who were Robert Ray Hamil- ton’s lawyers, arc both out of New York, and Mr. Joseph Kunzman, who is in charge of the office, suid that he did not know what action the family would take in the matter now. Mr. Hamilton's death, he said, ends the litigation, unless his executor or administrator, or his father or brother, takes hold of the matter. in which case the suit would have to be reopened. Otherwise Mrs, Hamilton, who is now in the ‘Trenton state prison, would receive one-third of the estate and the’ $10 baby the remainder. Kobert’s income, it is said, amounted annually to $18,000, He inherited his property from his maternal grandfather, Robert Kay, and it is said to be principally invested in real ostate in New York city. REAL ESTATE COMPLICATIONS, The tragic affuir also adds to the worry ofa number of property hoiders in New York and in Brooklyn, The Hamiltons were always large real estate owners and the dead man added to‘his inherited estate by many specula- tions. He gave a number of decds during the time of his infatuation for the woman now in ‘frenton prison, which, according to his own acknowledgment, should have had her signa- ture us well as his own. Unless his family sue- ceed in having his marriage with Evangeline L. Steele annulled, the holders of these dveds can expect no mercy from the adventuress in en- forcing her dower rights. EVA INFORMED, Eva Hamilton, who is still a prisoner at Trenton, N.J., and has eleven months to sorve for her attack on Nurse Donnelly at Atlantic y, heard the news yesterday of Robert Itay Hamilton's death by drowning in the Yellow- stone Park, Wyoming, in August last, Keeper Patterson gays she shed a few quiet tears, but made no scene. She persists that she the lawiul widow of Robert Ray and is confident that her lawyers will get her a wife's share in his estate. She says the fight will be made if there is any opposition to her claims. The child Beatrice, the kaby whom Eva liamilton declared was the offspring of Robert Ray Ham- ilton, is still under the care of Mrs. Koup in Philadelphia, THE DIVORCE SUIT. Mr. Hamilton began proceedings for divorce before Judge Patterson in the supreme court last January. His petition stated that the marriage was obtained by fraud practiced by the defendant, who represented that she was about to become a mother, and also that dur- ing December, 188%, in Elmira, N.Y., she had become a mother. On January 6, the day pre- ceding the marriage, the petitioner stated he was shown a child which he was made to be- lieve was his own and that of the defendant. Had he known her representations to be false he would not have marricd her, As a second cause Mr. Hamilton averred that the defendant at the time of the celebration of the marriago bed a husband living, and that on January 7, 1889, the former marriage was still in force. Judge Patterson allowed a summons to be served upon the wife by publication and ap- pointed a referee to take testimony in Elmira. ‘This evidence was favorable to the husband's suit and was forwarded to New York. Con- trary to expectations at the time Mrs, Hamil- ton fought the suit. Ou April 14 last Judge Andrews of the su- preme court banded down a memorandum, in which he denied Mrs, Hamilton's petition for an order of the court directing Mr. Hamilton to give her money to defend the suit. Mr. Hamilton had answered that in the fall of 1889 he had turned over €3.000 to Eva, PECULIAR EVENTS IN MARs. Changes in Its Lakes and Canals Ob- served by European Astronomers, The New York Herald publisnes the following communication from the eminent astronomer, M. Flammarion: “Ihave just received some new observations concerning the planet Mars made this summer at some of the principal observatories of our own planet, They teach us some very strange things. It seems that at certain seasons of the year the oceans of tho planet Mars are divided into two parts, just as though a gigantic bridgo or bank of and had been thrown across them from one shore to the other. “For instance, there is among other seas in the planct Mars one situated at the ninetieth degree of longitude east of the meridian zero. On account of its isolation, as well aa of its sup- erticial area, this sea resembles our Black sea, Hitherto it has always been observed as uni- form and nearly circular, but last June M. Schiaparelli of the Milan observatory discov- ered that this sea was cut in two by a yellow band which divides it into unequal parts, “A lake, somewhat similar to our Lake Techad, was also noticed to have been divided into two parts. At the samo time an excellent very minuto observer in England discovei that five immense canals were also divided into two parts by two straight lines, absolutely parallel to each other, in the same manner that # Certain number of enigmatic canals were no- ticed to have been divided some ago.

WASHINGTON GASLIGHT COMPAXT. tf Ef BUSINESS > oO , 3" THE EVENING STAR is offered to the pu fc, im good faith and with confidence, as TUB BEST LOCAL ADVERTISING MEDIUM IN THE UNITED STATES. In point of fact, # may bo truthfally said that it is without am equal in this respect any where in the world, These averments are borne out by the figures sven below, which are compiled from the sworn weekly statements priuted 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 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 ciren- lation of any other paper in Washing: ton! 2 The Star's circulation in Washing- ton is double that of all the other datly Papers published im the city added to gether!! 3. fhe Star has a targer ané fuller circulation in the city where printed, in proportion to reading and purchas ing peopniation, than any other news Paper iu the world!!! 4 The Sinr has the targest reguiar and permancnt heme circulation of any two-cent afternoon paper in the United States !!!! In support of these claims and to show the constantly increasing circulation of the paper, attention is invited to the figures following: BAILY CIRCULATION Iw 183}-86-87-88-80, ISS.

Of this number, 21,142 were delivered daily by regular carriers at the homes of permaucat sub- ecribers. 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 por manent residents of the city living in lodgizgs, &c. (not householders), so that its whole circula tion may be litorally said to be in the family Circle. While ite aggregate circulation there fore gives Tue Sram a distinctive and enviable Posiiion in modern journalism, the fallness 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 charactcristics 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 eatisfaction of the sagncious and enter- prising bueiness 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 Tae Stan's advertising patronage. Nothing can wore surely illustrate the is beld by the public thau « constantly increasing demand for it—day by day, week by week, month by month, and year by year,—in the face of ad- verse clams and pretentious competition. The figures following tell the story on this point: RUMBER OF NEW ADVERTISEMANTS /RINTED Et 1855-86-87 BS " £887. 3615 347 4,669 3.478 5.599 4,522 BSN 3170 4,517 S313 5,038 6,107 3.083 3.793 TOTAL £1,499 45,910 54,038 54.801 63,522 But it is not alone in numbers that the great increase of advertising is shown. The larger space required for advertisements during the your 1889 as compared with that oopupied im 1888 is even more striking. The average daily space filled by advertine ‘ments in 1888 was 25.10 columns, or 7779 columns for the year; whereas for the year 1889 the daily average was 29.75 columns, or 9223 columns ie | the aggregate, bcing 2 total gain over the pre vious year of 1444 columus! And this, it mast be remembered, consisted exclusively of the | ordinary everyday business advertising, nothing: in the way of tax sales, poll lists, eisction returns, @tc,, such as occasionally swell the business of Political organs, being included im its patrom age. : In conclusion, it is only necessary to say that, { proportion to the extent and high charactet @f ite circulation, Twx Stan's advertising rates take rank with the very lowest ir the , and to add, finally, that every statement made can be abundantly verified.
