NO WONDER IT GROWS.
Elements Which Have Contributed to

ttlt
That The Times is above ii! other papers
the newspaper of tue people of the District
of Columbia is again demonstrated by the
retnarka BE Increase of circulation during
the past week shown in the attached state

mast wear made contracts with The Times
ou the basis CT the circulation which II
had at the time made, are continually reap
ing the benefits of its steady and astound-
ing growth.
There are excellent reasons for this III
crease in popularity which The Times has
enjoyed u has continued to speak hon
estiy, openly and fairly ON every public
question. Its detractors and enemies are
oniy those whose selfish interests have been
attacked for the public good.
The cxpcrim eut, absolutely unique III
Journalism OF publishing 4 sixteen page

of any other one Washington newspaper has
been wonderful success. The news OF

asleep, thereby depriving him OF any pro-

was never much goud after that. The next
time he lined up against his old opponents
he got caught in rush, and when he wukc
up he found himself claimed up in some
police station, with both eyes out and no

Samson got square with the crowd is n mat

SENSATIONAL SHOOTING,

Thursday last in the neighborhood,
about eight miles northwest of town
by Thos. Howard firing both bar
rels of his shot gun at the fleeing
form of VIM. Fl. Reed It is said
the two mer have not been on good
terms for some time on account of
family troubles. Howard alleges
that Reed was making arrangements
to elope with his wife. He SAYS
that she has made more than
one attempt to desert him for the
affections of Reed This fact he
says was forcibly presented to him
one day last week, by finding her
trunk packed and hid away, prepara
tory to taking her departure This
was on Thursday The next day
/ the two men met at or near the

wife. Howard went for his shot gun.

and Reed took to his heels. He was
chased about one mile and two loads

facts we obtained from Constable

arrest

had warrant issued for Howard.
which was served by constable
| Arnold. Then in turn Howard had
Reed arrested for disturbing the
peace OF his family and he too was
placed under arrest, and both gave
bond and the courts will be called
on to adjudicate the matter.
If Howards statement Of the in.
fidelity Of his wife be true the lady
is acting very naughty The TINES
would advise that this couple get
together and arrange their differ.
ences and drop further publicity in
this disgraceful affair. If Reed has
been guilty OF the unholy alliance, as
charged, he should be man enough
to desist from destroying this home.

storms known in many years passed
over this city Monday morning
about 2 o'clock. The roaring noise

until the cause of the strange noise
was explained by the arrival of hail.
