FLIGHT OF A FAITHLEsS AGENT.
Rumors of Shortage and an Escapade
by Baltimore Steamship Official.

From the Philadelphia Inquirer.
week ago last Friday Edward Futvoye, the
resident agent in Baltimore for Christopher
Furness, proprietor Of the Furness steamship
line, sailed from New York for Liverpool in the
Cunard steamer Bothnia At the time of his
departure it was said he had gone to Europe
on business. The Baltimore and Ohio railroad
company previously had given notice that it
could no longer afford wharf facilities to the
Furness line at Locust Point. There had been
considerable talk about the removal Of the
American terminus of the line from Baltimore
to Newport News. Commercial circles were
deeply interested in the matter and Mr.. Fut-
voye engaged earnestly in the discussion of the
relations of the proposed change to the COM
merce of Baltimore.
When Mr.. Futvoye left the city it was said he
was about to cross the Atlantic to have a per-
sonal interview with Mr.. Furness regarding the
future of the line.
Messrs. Rowley and Hulng, the latter OF whom
came to Baltimore from England after Mr.. Fut-
voyes departure, are IN charge now, however. of
the Furness line. Nothing could be elected from
them today regarding Mr.. Futvoves departure,
but the rumors are being spoken Of freely to-
day that there is shortage in his accounts
and that he was accompanied to Europa today
by woman not his wife.

A MARROW ESCAPE.
An Internal Machine Sent Through the
Mails.

Prom the Philadelphia Times.
John NJ. Mcbride, residing at No. 1921 north
4th street, received yesterday in his mail an
internal machine which might have occasloned
him the loss Of his life had its mechanism not
not been defective. Letter Carrier Meister
delivered a package to his youngest daughter
directed to him, in the morning between and
O'Clock. 1t was neatly done up and carried
two 5, a 10 and 2-cent stamp. Mcbride on
receiving the package tore off the outer cover
and then tossed it over to his son. who was in
the room, saying that "he supposed it was more
Of that stuff from Washington"
He had received lately samples of seeds from
the Agricultural bureau and supposed the pack
age contained goods of that description
Charles j. Mcbride his son. experienced some
difficulty in uncovering the box which was ar
ranged with sliding cover When, however
1t was opened it was found to be divided into
three compartments. The middle was filed
with gun cotton and the other two with gun
powder, while a series of blue-headed matches
projected out of each compartment. The
matches were arranged in such way that they
would become ignited against piece of emery
paper pasted inside the sliding cover of the
box. Mr.. Mcbride and his son were aghast
when they realized their narrow escape. On
closer examination it was discovered that the
matches had become disarranged, probably
through the rough usage the box had received
IN passing through the post office. Their
escape from destruction was very fortunate.

Catching a SLAYER

From the London Daily News
Letters from the East India station give par
ticulars of an important capture of a slave
dhow made few weeks ago by her majestv's
steamer Reindeer. One of her boats in charge
OF petty officer was proceeding into Chaki-
chaki bay, in the island of Pemba, when a
dhow was observed making for the inner har-
Dor. The officer Immediately boarded her and
was surprised to find that although the dhow
was small one a large number of slaves We're
packed into her like herrings in barrel; so
crowded, in fact, was the craft that the officer
was unable to count the slaves accurately and
he at once towed the dhow toward the Rein
deer. The slaves and crew were transferred to
her maIesty's steamer Pigeon and the dhow
was sent to Bombay, where she was handed
over to the court.
1t was then discovered that the vessel had on
board no fewer than 124 slaves. The inquiry
before the prize court elected the information
that the dhow left Lindi with the slaves on
board, the master having been promised ten
rupees a head for every slave landed alive AT
Pemba. During his voyage he passed three of
her majesty's ships-the Algerine, the Pigeon
and the Boadicea--and escaped search in each
instance. and was just making preparations to
land his captives when the Reindeer's boat
overloaded him. The dhow has been DESTROYED
by order Of the court, her captain and crew are
IN prison and an amount calculated at Is a
head for the slaves and is a ton for the dhow
Will be divided among the commander the
officers and men of the Reindeer

large proportion is supplied regularly to per-

DC. (not householders), so that its whole circula
ton may be literally said to be in the family
circle. While Its aggregate circulation there
fore gives The STAR a dist,nctiue and enuiaLs
position in modern journalism, the fulluess OF
its home circulation, the extent to which
1t is relied upon by members OF the
household, 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 parallel.
This is no idle boast on the part of the paper.
1t is q well established fact, demonstrated to
the full satisfaction Of the sagacious and enter
prising business 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 The Stars advertising patronage.
Nothing can more surely illustrate ths
esteem in which any article is held by the
public than a constantly increasing demand
for it-day by day, week by week, month by
month, and year by year,-in the face Of ad-
verse claims and pretentious competition. The
figures following tell the story on this point:

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
from the sworn tabular statements showing the
average daily circulation OF the paper during
the year 1889, published in The STAR on the

above claim is based are these: That
