THEY SAT IN JUDGMENT,
A Suspected Murderer Hung and Rid
died With Bullets.

RALEIGH. N. c., May 27--John Startling.
living near Selma, in Johnston county. was
surrounded by party of masked men while on
his way home Saturday night, tied to a tree
and shot to death, twenty bullets being
put into his body. He had made some threats
against a peaceabie citizen and was returning
home from a magistrates trial, where he had
been to answer a summons of peace warrant
His wife was with him. The mob threw a rope
over his head, dragged him out and carried
him far enough in the woods to pre-
vent her from being an eyewitness to his fate.
Some time ago an old lady named Cenia Brown
and her grandson were foully murdered in
Johnston county. Mrs. Brown was Starling's
mother-in-law and there was suspicion
that Startling murdered her to get her
property through his wife. He was tried
but he had SO terrorized the community that il
was impossible to get any one to testify against
him and he was acquitted. Later on the
houses OF two persons who made themselves
conspicuous in the trial against him were
burned. People thought this was Startling 8
work. They determined to submit to his ter
rorization no longer.

From Wall Street Today.

Nrw YORK. May 27.-In the stock market
this morning there Was a continuance OF the
same conditions prevalent yesterday. and.
while few stocks were active. the general list
was dull and without feature OF Importance.
A firm front was presented throughout the
greater portion OF the hour, but
first prices. while showing only slight
changes, were quite irregular with a pre-
ponderance Of declines in sympathy with
the early London figures. Only ST. Paul and
Oregon rranscontinental in the regular list
and sugar. among the trusts. showed any AMI
nation. and the first two stocks after the frac-
aonal advances lost part of the improvement
probably in sympathy with Atchison. which
became more active late IA the hour.

Can YOu Write EnDlish2

With view to encourage the writing of
short, bright, snappy advertising The EVEN
ING STAR NEWSPAPER COMPANY offers three
prizes Of 800, $50 and s25 each, to be awarded
to the writer's of the best three series of adver-
tisements written under the folio wing condi-
tions:
The series is to consist of six articles, de-
signed for separate publication, of not over
one hundred and fifty words each, and any less
number of words may be used.
The articles are to be based on the sugges-
tions given below, but need not be confined to
them. The suggestions may be combined in
any manner desired.
No reflections are to be made on any of our
contemporaries beyond that implied in the fact
OF their enjoying only fraction of The STARS
circulation.
The contestants must reside in Washington
No articles will be received later than June
20, 1890.
The awards will be made by committee
composed OF Messrs. Isadore Saks, S. W. Wood
ward, Washington Danenhower and A. Lisner
The points required to be covered are:
l. The average circulation of The STAR for
the first three months of 1880 was 80 236 this
being more than treble that of any other Wash
2. The STAR has larger and fuller circula-
ton in the city where printed, in proportion to
reading and purchasing population, than any
other newspaper in the world. It is essentially
a home paper, the extent to which it is relied
upon by members of the household. particu-
Iarly by the purchasing portion of the commu-
nifty. being the marked characteristic of the
paper. to which no other daily journal now
published can furnish parallel
3. The value of advertising is in direct pro-
portion to the circulation Of the paper, con-
sidering the character of its readers Weighed
in this balance The STAR is one OF the cheap
est advertising mediums in the United States
and far cheaper than any other Washington
paper.
4. That an advertisement running for three
months or over with one change II month costs
about A. cents line an insertion or less than
one-secenht Of a cent per line IN each thousand
papers.
8. sworn statement of the circulation of
The STAR for the preceding week is published
each Monday, and its press and circulation
rooms are open to the public and its circula-
ton books may be inspected by any one having
an interest in their examination.
6. The fact that The STAR is universally rec
ognized as the great Want" medium of the
city and the advantages Of making wants
known through it.

COTTON KING PRO TEN.
Great Excitement Over Q Corner on
July Options.

New YORK, May 27.-There was great excite
ment in the cotton market after the opening
today and indications were plenty that July
options had been cornered. That option opened
at one point advance and at once started up
ward. In the first hour it had risen eighteen
ers were bidding for it. At IL o'clock business
was suspended for one hour on ac-
count Of the annual meeting and it
was thought that some arrangement
would be made in the interval by which the
shorts would be allowed to cover. On the re-
sumption of business, however, prices con-
timed to advance and nearby months jumped
10 points at time. July advanced to T. So, or
AZ points above the opening. The other crop
months advanced 4 points above last nights
figures in the first two hours. The new crop
shared in the advance to the extent of from
to points.
