Rocxvitie. August 10, 1891. There is still much excitement in this com- munity, especially among the colored peor over the killing of a negro man named Lew: Brown at Barnesville station yesterday even- ing. There was a very large crowd of colored people present at a camp meeting which has been in progress near that place for some two weeks, and it {s said that during the day Brown made himself very disagreeable by calling for dinner nd refreshments, and when re- quested to pay for the same flourishing a re- volver and refusing to comply. When the crowd arrived at the station he was in the same mood and secured some cigars from a colored man named Offutt. for which he refused to pay, and again produced the pistol, which led ‘to the row in which Brown was struck on the head with a stone, when he commenced fir- ing into the crowd, woundiag Rezin and Geo. Offutt, the balls taking effect in the hands of each. At this point in the affair a shot was fired by some one in the crowd, the ball strik- ing Brown in the back of the neck and_ killin, him almost instantly. He fell upon the boar: platform and his body remained where he fell until this morning, when a jury of inquest was impanneled, but thers being bat a few wit- nesses of the tragedy present the hearing was postponed until tomorrow. After the adjourn- ment of the inquest the body was bugied. One of the witnesses, named John Brown, testified that immediately after tle shooting he heard a woman in the crowd say that Rezin Offutt had shot the man. Upem — this evidence Offutt was arrested gt this place and lodged in jail. "The following witnei were also summoned here to ir at the in- inquest tomorrow: Geo. Offitt, Vachel Duftin, Wm. Busey, Edward Offutt, Isaac Warren, Rose Meads, Edw. Wood, Ambrose aioe tevenson and Wm. Barsell. Rezin the man accused of firing the fatal shot, is a resi- dent of this place, where he has always been looked upon as # ‘sober, industrious man. By his industry he has acquired considerable prop- erty and owns a good team of horses and other stock. The wound he received in the hand was examined by Dr. E. E. Stonestreet and is not likely to prove very seriour. The man (Brown) who was killed came to the county some time ago from Williamsburg, Va., and is said to Rave been Ly agen tough character. For the past three days the weather in this locality has been oppressively hot, the ther- mometer at noon today standing at ‘4 degrees in the shade. The nights, however, are cool and pleasant, and the entire absence of mosqui- toes renders sleep pleasant and refreshing. Sa M. ———— KATE FIELD'S VIEWS. She Says Dress Reform Must First Conquer the Fashion Leaders. Miss Kate Field was in New York the other day on her way to Long Branch to take a short rest. When asked what she thought about the proposed Chautauqua dress reform for women she sitid that she hardly knew what ‘the Chautauqua people were driving at. “There is one thing sure,” Miss Field said, “the projected change in women’s dress won't be carried out unless the fashion leaders say so and set the example, no matter how much the reform is agitated at Chautauqua or anywhere else. Take the shop girls, who, perbaps, as a class, are the busiest of business women. They certainly need the free use of all their muscles, but do you think that they would adopt any dress but the conventional one? “The reform, as I understand it, is more par- ticularly for professional and business women, but they are by no means heedless of fashion. But the fact remains our dress is unnatural and the prevailing styles hamper us. We all kuow that our girls’ waists are too long and too iL. “Do away with ccrsets to make a beginning for the reform?

Jennie Anderson of Galveston, Tex., lying on her bed reading early yesterday morn- ing, was startled by the appearance of a negro man in her chantber. She demanded what he wanted and received no reply. She snatched a revolver from a bureau drawer, and, in hand- ling the pistol, in her excitement shot herself througn the fleshy part of the thigh. At th | sound of the shot the negro ran, and the pluck; woman, regardless of her wound, went after him, firing’as sbe ran, planting shot in his arm’ just as he was passing the house and lodging another near the heart.

The most sensational case of suicide known in recent years at Atlantic City was developed at 12:30 this morning. It was that of a man known as J. F. Chick, formerly of Boston, who is known in all the banking circles of the coun- try in the character of an agent and who had been associnted with many of the governors of southern and western states. He bore letters of introduction all the way from San Francisco to Florida, and was found resting on a bench onthe porch of Congress Hall by Dr. H. E. Heilemann of Philadelphia, who was staying at the Seabright Hotel. He was on his way home when he found the man and discovered odors of poison emitting from mouth and nostrils, He attempted to roduce respiration and found it impossible to Sono. He immediately sout for = physician and an effort was made to obtain an electric . This failed of success and the two physicians found that heart and pulse had ceased to beat. An immediate arch of his vest coat was made and a vial ‘was found that had been filled with creovote, coupled with chloral. When the body war bronght to the city hall it was found that the man was of magnificent build, handsome features, a well-carved mouth, a fowing mustache and an intellectual high- cust forehead making up the ensemble of his personal appearince. In the pockets of his clothes was found a bundle of letters. Chief of Police Eldridge says he saw him in apparently good health on one of the avenues yesterday afternoon and that he did not weem to be suffering from drink. The chief has tele- graphed to Boston as follows: Cuter ov Potice: Boston: Frederick J. Chick, having on person papers that he was cashier of Pacific National Bank of Boston, committed suicide here tonight. Please notify friends. Among cards found on tho body was one denoting that he was of Chick & Place, commission merchants, which has, or had, agencies m various cities. Certainly deep mystery attaches to the case. - 00 — HAIL TO THE GIPSY BRIDE. A One-Time Philadelphian Marries a Forest Maiden. A novel wedding took place yesterday after- noon in Bergandines woods, near Hanover, Jefferson county, Ind., where a party of gip have been encamped for some days. ‘The groom and bride were respectively John Lynch, at one time a prominent young merchant of Philadelphia, and Jennie Van Sicklen, a gen- uine nomad, who was born “on the road” in England nineteen years ago and who was re- cently chosen at Elyria, Ohio, queen of the band with which she is now traveling. The bride is tall, superbly formed and handsome maiden, agreeable in manners and commands the respect and warm friendship of her subjects, who number twenty-one men and worsen. Lynch is an athlete and is about twenty-eight years old. He is anid to have met and fallen deeply in love with Miss Van Sicklen two on hor arrivel at Philadelphia from the old ‘counizy. Ho was so enamored that he gave up a good business amd followed the g:psy maiden to Elyria, the headquarters of a large nimaber of these people. and joined the band to which she attached herself, thereby renouncing forever the more civilized life in which he had been living. 2 The pair were handsomely attired in genuine gipsy costume, and the ceremory was per- formed by a Madison clergyman, who wus ex- Pressly engaged to officiate on the occasion.

The Body Found in the Niagara River Identified. It is learned that the young woman whose body was found in the Niagara river at Lewis- ton on Friday was Cora Farthing of Buffalo. Whether it was a case of murder or suicide is | still in doubt, though her family believe it to have been the latter. Arenson has been dis- covered for either. She was in trouble and unmarried. Apparently she wen; to Lewiston to meet some one. Whether that person was the man who had wronged her and she committed | suicide after his refusal to marry her, or | whether he strangled her and threw her-body into the river after her upbraidings are de- batable questions. She had considerable silver coin and twogold rings in her possession when first seen at Lew- iston and these are gone. She was a woman of unusual beauty. Her hair was brown and lux- uriant in growth. She had a beautiful complex- ion and fine features, with large brown eyesand long eyelashes. She wore a lace collar and a jacket, both of which were found on the bank, torn as though forcibly removed from her. The skirt of her dress was thrown over her head and knotted under her chin,and on her throat were apparent indications of bruises. The girl seemed to be expecting some one and wasin all probability to meet that person. in the grove, ‘as she inquired where it was soon atter her ap- pearance at the village. Then there isa story of a women in the vil- lage, of two men hurrying by her house late on ‘Thuraday night, going toward the fatal grove, and their exclamation: “There she goes, see her!

"If the xitl had fallen or rolled through this growth some marks would have been shown on her body, as the distance was not lens than. fifty fect and the force of gravitation would cause more or less bruising or abrasion of the skin at least.

A fire broke out in Conway's lodging house at Spokane Falls, Wash., yesterday. The building was soon a mass of flames, and the inmates barely escaped. Charles Johnson, sixty years of age, was taken out through the second-story window. He had been suffocated to death. “A negro barber »named Wash- ington had his hands and arms fearfully burned. the skin being entirely peeled off. His burns are fatal. A man named Green jumped from the third-story and sustained verious internal injuries. J. H. Dwyer, an- other inmate, jumped from the third-story, receiving a broken arm.

Everything goes to show that all that part of the country is liable to’be turned upside down. It seems that on Thur:= day morning a heavy shock struck the country about five miles below Lerdo, a colony in the state of Sonora, Mexico, on the Colorado river. The sky darkened and a thunderstorm arose, accompanied by great flashes of lightning. The river rose as ahuge wave from the gulf was driven inland, and corrals, fences and landing places were washed away by the rushing waters. The shaking of the ground increased, and the eracklin, inding noise of the crumbli hills was’ intensified. A second shock causod the earth to open in many places, some fissures being from four to seven feet® wide and from twenty to thirty feet long and seemingly fathom- less, “Two more severe shocks followed, doing much damage in all quarters. Two Indians who live in the vicinity have arrived at Yuma, and their story is tralya moxt thrilling one. Farly in the morning hundreds of mud volcanoes thirty miles off burst into a violent eruption. The air grew denser and many infants were suffocated. At last a violent thunder storm cleared the air, only to show the tidal waves approaching with frightful rapidi ‘The waters rose, swallowing up their cattle, horses, grain fields and driving them for theit lives to the top of the mesas, a hundred feet high above the river.

Jose Perez, a cattle man from Lerdo, and five men witnessed the scene from the top of the hill to which they had escaped. They report the tidal wave was fully 100 feet high and also the river of a bluish purplo fire, which was flowing down into the Colorade neat the gulf.

A xemi-ofticial communication in the North German Gazette repudiates any design to ixolate France or to interfere with Kuswian commerce, but the palpable result of the zollverein in placing the parties to the compact in an advantageous post- tion for the negotiation of commerciak treatien with foreign states isdwelt upon.

This led to the suing of the steamer, and in consequence she has been declared contiscated. The mi ister added that the government was carrying out in this matter the same doctrines which the Guited States hav, ied in the case of | the Itata of the Chilian rebele squadron. The City of Punama still remain at La Libertad under government orders not toleave until the matter in settled. The order is ac- companied by a threat, in which ‘the govern: ment declares that if its orders are disregarded the vessel will be forcibly seized. The captain of the steamer could easily sail aw his vessel if he chose, but an utter disregard of the government order would imperil the company's entire trade with Salvador if not with Gunte- mala and Nicaragua. etggees Sd Fraud Charged in the Levy Fatlure. Moses $. Levy, of the firm of Levy Bros. & Co. of New York, which recently failed for sev- eral hundred thousand dollars, was arrested yesterday charged with grand larceny. Butter- field & Co. and the Assabet Manufacturing Com- pany, both of New York city, are the accusers. They charge Levy Bros & Co. with fraud in that they allowed to be withdrawn from the firm and paid to Samuel Levy, « relative, $100, 000 and over. Samuel Levy, they claim, was not acreditor. It is further charged that the firm fraudulently disposed of certain goods at 40 per cent below the regular prices, and other irregularities are cited. Levy was arraigned in the police court last svening and pleaded not guilty to the charge. He was held in $1 000 buil for trial Other members of the firm are also to be arrested. The warrants for the arrest for various members of the firm were granted nearly two months ago. Julius Levy, the senior member of the firm, was in Europe, however, and the police, fearing lie would not return if any arrests were made here, waited for him to take # steamer for home, which ho did on Saturday.

He might just as well put the money he pays for advertising into an old stock- ing and bury it im the back yard as to print his inducements where they will not be seen by the particular people whose ettention he aims to attract. What he should use, therefore, is TEE NEWSPA- PER THAT IS READ BY THE LARGEST NUMBER OF PERSONS LIKELY TO WANT WHAT HE HAS TO OFFER. Mere EXTENT of circulation does not always insure the kind of publicity required by the advertiser. It is the QUALITY of cir- Pulation that telis,as well as its extent. ‘That, indeed, ts the vital factor in the Problem the advertiser has to solve. Sen- eational and scandalous cess-pod! jour- | Bals, that are chiefly circulated in the slums of a city, and read by the riff-raff of the town, may and often do have « very considerable circulation, as the number of copies printed and handled indicate, but they are merely glanced at to see whether the new scandal is worse than the old one, nd then tossed into the gutters, where they Delong. They are consequently worth Rothing to the man or woman whose aim 1s to reach reputable and responsible peo ple who will probably become customers if sufficient inducements are held out. What is needed in such & case is anen- terprising, bright, alert, clean-cut, care- fully edited FAMILY newspaper,—one that can safely be put in any hands, whose contents tell the whole world’s news story Of today, (not of last week or yesterday) ‘and which ts eagerly and profitably read from beginning to end every day by every member of the household, from its dual head down to the help in the basement, and especially by the ladies and children ofthe family. Suche journal is THE EVENING STAR. It has both EXTENT and QUALITY of circulation within the field it occupies in greater degree than any other paper in ‘the world. In these respects it is abso- lutely without @ rival, anywhere, and there is no paper in Washington worth talking about in comparison with it. In Verification of this claim, LOOK AT THE FIGURES: For the six months ending with the 30th of June last THE STAR'S average daily circulation was 34,064. For # popula- tion of 250,000 this aggregate is some- thing phenomenal, even where the city of Publication is surrounded by prosperous and populous villages and thickly settled agricultural districts, as most places of that size ere. In this respect, however, ‘Washington differs from other cities. She is practically isolated, having few outly- ing towns subordinate to her or identified with her interests. The circulation of THE STAR 1s, consequently, almost en- trely a HOME CIRCULATION, with o larger percentage of the whole output regularly delivered by carriers at the res- idence of permanent subscribers within the city where printed than any other paper that can be named, no matter in what city or country the same may be Printed. This is demonstrated by the fol- lowing daily average UNPARALLELED SHOWING: ‘Served by carriers in the city, - - 23,377 Miscellaneous sales, over coun- ter, by news stands, news-boys, mm, -- - = + o = OMe By mail to outlying points, - - - 1,415 Total - - - = = - 34,064 There is no mistake or misstatement Sbout these figures. They are substan- tiated under the solemn obligations of an ‘oath, and they may be further verified by an examination of the books of the office and inspection of its press and delivery rooms on the part of any person having interest in the correttness of the exhibii. Few newspapers are willing to submit to so trying an ordeal. But THE STAR does it cheerfully. It has nothing to con- coal, and no motive forexaggeration. The truth is good enough for it. FAIR DEALING is tts business motto. As THE STAR in- sists on its right to know how many pounds of ink it gets when it buysa barrel of that article,and how many pounds of paper it pays for in one of the immense rolls delivered at its press rooms, so it ie ‘willing that its edvertising patrons shall know exactly HOW MUCH and WHAT KIND of publicity they are getting when they put an announcement in its columns. It claims to be THE one Washington pa- per that is taken by the family, for the family, and read by the family, and es- Decially by all the people in the city who ‘want things and are able to pay for them, and tt is willing to have its claims sub- Jected to the most exhaustive and conclu- sive tests that can be devised. In other words, and in short, THE STAR COVERS THE WHOLE FIELD. ITS FAMILY CIR- CULATION IN WASHINGTON IS THREB TIMES AS LARGE AS THAT OF ANY OTHER PAPER, AND THE NUMBER OF ‘Yrs READERS IN THE CITY 18 FIVE ‘TIMES GREATER THAN THAT OF ANT OTHER PAPER. ~ ‘These are the qualities that constitute “Values in Advertising.”
