the the THE BRITISH CENSUS. How It Will Be Taken Next Sunday Night In the Infited Kingdom. The Method Compared With the Slow and Imperfect Amer ican Fashion. An Army of Men Will Do the Work In a Single Night. The Cost Only $700,000 Against Ten Times That Amount Under Uncle Sam's System.

NO KICKING AFTERWARD. (Correspondence of the Courier-Journal.) London, March every ten sears John Bull performs a remarkaule feat. It is the taking of the census of the United Kingdom, and it. is accomplished with a nickel-in-th slot rapidity that challenges even the miration of a shrewd hustler from America. The method of taking the census possesses great interest for the people of the United States, as offering a striking comparison with the slow and unsatisfactory methods of enumerating the A American people.

On Sunday night, April 5, the Britons will- pass through the turnstile of their tenth decennial classification. The next morning the record will be made up. On the evening of the same day it will be delivered to Somerset House, to be assorted and labeled, and all this work will be effected with marvelous perfection of organization by which Great Britain is made to stand still for a minute and be photographed. So co consummate is the which WAS planned that machinery, in embracing that at one and the same moment, all over the United Kingdom, the recording pen will catch and set down every man's status. In one day will be compiled the material for a statistical sketch of the past ten years.

The tramp on the dusty highway, the clerk in the counting the sportsman upon the moor, the traveler on the railroad, all will be simultaneously made to and be counted. Unless, like the Irishman's swallow, one can be in two places at once, down will go each on the recording tablets. All preparations for the stupendous work are completed. Blanks are ready to be distributed, and the Kingdom has been divided up into 000 districts. It is estimated that the total cost of the work will be less than America nearly $7,000,000 was while for the same work a in priated by Congress.

An American tabulating machine will be used to obtain totals. The census will be intrusted by the Home Secretary, Mr. Matthews, to persons in authority in the different parts of. the United Kingdom. In England end Scotland the duty will devoive upon the English and Scotch Registrars; In Ireland to a Royal Commission presided over by the hish Registrar General, and in the islands-which consists of two groups, the Isle of Man in the Irish Sea, and the channel islands, Jersey, Guernsey, Alderney, Heron, Sark, Jethon and Brechon-the enumeration will be made under the superintendence of the respective Lieutenant Governors, according to instructions issued by the Registrar General of England.

In England and Wales the census stall will consist of the employes of the General Registry Office, the superintendent registrars in their districta, the registrars sud the enumerators. There are 620 superintendent registrars' districts in England Wales, which are subdivided into 2,195 sub-districte, each having a local registrar of births and deaths. Under the supervision the superintendents, it is the duty of the registrars to divide the sub-distriets into enumeration districts, in accordance with directions furnished them. While the boundaries of the parishes or townships are to be taken as the basis upon which to frame the division, strict attenticn is paid to the various local sub-divisions, so that the number of their housea act inbabitants might afterward be readily and accurately ascertained. Where a parish or township is sufficient to form of itself a distinct enumeration district, it is assigned to one enumerator; and, as a general rule, it is assumed that where the enumerator will not he required to travel more than fifteen miles in visiting a smaller number of houses in the country, the district is not too large, When completed the scheme for the division of each subdistrict will be revised by the superintendent registrar, and by him submitted to the central office, together with the names of the persons proposed as enumerators for approval of the Registrar General.

The enumerators are required to be intelligent and active, able to read and write well and have some knowledge of arithmetic; they are not to be younger than eighteen years of age or older than sixty-five; they are to he respectable persons, likely to conduet themselves with strict propriety and civility in the discharge of their duties, and well acquainted with the district in which they are to act. The enumeration in Scotland will be carried on in the same manner, under its own Registrar General. In Ireland the enumeration will be effected altogether by the officers and men of the constabulary force, whose local knowledge renders them partieularly well suited for the undertaking. Public institutions, such as county Jails, conviet prisons, reformatories, work-houses, hospitals, barracks and lunatic asylums, whose inmates exceed 200 persons, are treated as separate enumeration districts, and the Governor or principal resident officer is appointed the enumerator. The smaller institutions are treated as ordinary houses, and the particulars regarding their inmates obtained by the district enumerators in the usual way.

The enumeration of persons on board merchant vessels, fishing smacks and other craft in the ports, docks, creeks and rivers is accomplished by the officers of her Majesty's customs. Schedules, duly filled by the masters, will be obtained in the case of the vessels in porti on the census day; and on the arrival of every home-trade and coasting vessel within the ensuing month inquiries will be made in order to ascertain whether the ceneus has been given in at any port in the United Kingdom, and if not, the master will he requested to fill nap a schedule. All the returns collected by the officers of her Majesty's customs in England will be transmitted direct to the central office. The information about seamen and others on board vessels of the Royal Navy, at home, will be supplied pursuant to instructions addressed by the Lords of the Admirality to the officers in command her Majesty's ships and vessels. A return will also be made, under directons the commander-in-chief of the THE COURIER-JOURNAL: LOUISVILLE, FRIDAY MORNING, APRIL 3, 1891.

British army, distinguishing officers from non-commissioned officers, and rank and file by the commanding officer of every regiment, or battalion of the British army, at home or abroad, showing the ages, country of and whether. single, married or widowers: also the numbers and ages of the wives and children of soldiers. In order to secure the enumeration of persons on board boats, barges and other craft in inland waters, not within the jurisdiction of the officers of customs, such. vessels will be visited on the census morning and the required particulars obtained from the master or person in charge, either by the ordinary enumerator or by a person specially cmployed for the purpose. The enumerators will be direeted to make diligent inquiry for the purposo of ascertaining the number of persons, not in any dwelling house on the census night, but sleeping in the barns, sheds, caravans, tents, or in the as open air, and to enter such particulars may obtained respecting them in a form provided for the purpose.

The forms and schedules here mentioned are of such a detailed nature as not to admit of their being copied verbatim here. All the particulars, however, in condensed, form, are given in this article. The first duty of the enumerator will be to deliver, in the course of the week preceding the census day, to every 00- cupier of a house or tenement a householder's schedule, to be filled up by or on behaif of such occupier-under a penalty of five pounds in case of default- with the required particulars concerning himself and family. age, conjugal Particulars concalled for are of sex, dition, relation to bead of family, profession, birthplace and in Ireland the spoken, the religion and the language ability to read and write. This schedule must be filled up by the occupier with the requisite information concerning every person who shall abide in the house or apartment on the night of Sunday, April 5.

No member of the family absent on that night must be entered, except in the case of persons who are engaged at their usual labor during the night and who will regularly return home in the morning. Persons traveling by railways or otherwise will in like manner be enumerated at the hotels or houses at which they expect to stop at on the following day. The next morning the enumerators will visit every dwelling house in the United Kingdom in order to collect the schedules which they had left in the cc urge of the week preceding. If the sebedule is already raade up the enumerator must see that the entries are made In a proper manner and satisfy himself that the particulars are likely to be correct. If, from any cause, the schedule is not filled up it is his duty to fill it up himself from the verbal information of the occupier or other competent member of the famiiy.

In all cases he must ascertain carefully that no person who abode in the house or lodgings on the previous night has been omitted, and that no person then has been included, except those traveling to or out at work during that and who shall have returned home next morning. Any schedule which contains manifestly false particulars must be corrected. Every census has its curious incidents," of which probably only a very few become generally known. One of the most remarkable of these was the appointment in the last census of a lady as enumerator in a London district. She is reported to have discharged the duties very efficiently." Some persons aghibit a disinclination to let the enumerators have the schedules.

Many have been sent to the Registrar General privately to avoid the scrutiny of enuinerators in country districts, his sanetion having been previousl; obtained. A spinster in a rural district, of rather uncertain age and very wealthy, fastened up her doors and windows, forbidding access to the enumerator, land saying that a fine of twenty pounds would not induce her to give him the desired particulars. In answer to a soothing letter she sent to the Registrar General her schedule privately. A gentleman of landed property declared he would pay a fino of any amount-indeed, would rather cease to exist-than commit the offense for which David suffered, as recorded in the Old Testament. His religious scruples were respected, and the particulars of his family were nevertheless recorded with tolerable accuracy.

until the middle of the last century. On March 20, 1753, Mr. Thomas Potter, son of the Archbishop of Canterbury, and a barrister of the Middle Temple, who represented the borough of St. Germans in the House of Commons, brought in a bill for taking and registering an annual account of the total number of the people, and of the total number of marriages, births and deaths- and also of the total number of the poor receiving alms from every parish and extraparochial place in Great Britain." This bill apparently had the support of the Ministry of the day, for among those whose names appear on the back are Mr. George Greville, Lord of the Treasury; Lord Barrington, a Lord of the Admiralty Mr.

Charles, Yorke, the Lord Advocate for Scotland; Lord Hillborough, Lord Duffin and Mr. Oswald. The proposal was received with alarm, however, and com bated with a virulence of language which excites the surprise of these living in this enlightened day. One of the chief opponents of the bill in the Commons was Mr. Thornton, member for York, who said: I did not believe that there was any set of men, or, indeed, any individual of the human species, so presumptuous and so abandoned as to make the proposal we have just heard.

I hold this project to be totally subversive of the last remains of 1 dish The new bill will direct the imposition of new taxes, and indeed the addition of a very few words will make it the most effective engine of rapacity and oppression that was ever used against an injured people. Morcover, an annual register of our people will acquaint our enemics abroad of our weakness." That was in the days when war W98 waged between nations on small provocation. British distinguishing officers until the middle of Another opponent of the bill was Mr. Matthew Ridley, member of Parliament for Neweastle-on-Tyne, who said that letters received by him from different persons showed that the people looked upon the proposal as omnious, and teared lest some public misfortune or an epidemical distemper should follow the numtering." Notwi' standing this opposition the bill passed through all its stages in the Commons by larg. majorities, only to ho thrown out on the second reading in the Houso of Lords.

Nearly half a century passed away before the proposal was renewed, and when the Rew bill was introduced in the House of Commons in November, 1800, it had the advantage of a great change which had apparently occurred in pubopinion on the eubject. 'The Populotion till was brought in by Mr. Abbot, member for Hefeton, on November 20. 1800, and puseed through all its stages without opposition. 'Ite first census was taken on March 10, 1801; the second on May 27, 1811; the third ou May 28, 1821; the fourth on May 30, 1831; the fifth on June 1, 1841; the sixth on March 31, 1851; the seventh on April 8, 1861: the eighth on April 3, 1871; the ninth on April 4, 1881, and the tenth will be taken, as above on April 5, 1891.

The ecnsus enumerations of 1801, 1811, 1921 and 1831 merely gave the numbers of individuals resident in each parish and county, together with some information; more or less detailed, concerning their ages, occupations and dwellings. The census of 1841 was far more comprehensive. It was a catalogue strictly so-called, for it not only recorded the number of individuals, but it also gave the name and description of each. That of 1851 was more elaborate still, and each succeeding enumeration has been made with less friction, greater success and less errors. In consequence of the many improved me shanical or adminis trative arrangements suggested experience and to be brought into action, the census of 1891 should he more accurate than any one preceding.

The English mode of enumeration may well be studied closely, for it is beyond a doubt the most excellent in existence in any country. Probably while the American press and cublic and State and Federal officials are quarreling over the results of the last census of the United States, the enumeration of the United Kingdom will be complete in all its details, and the records deposited among the archives of the State. The law of population is the most important subject of statistics. To ascertain the various causes which affect the state of population, to appreciate the true relation of all the social elements, and to show how each individual contributes his quota to the solution of the great human phenomena, aro the labors of consummate philosophy and of deep mathematical science, able to grasp at great truths, fix their principles and deduce their consequences. Any advance in this direction is worthy of the deepest study.

IMPORTED CONTRACT LABOR. A Government Inspector's Charge Against a Louisville Manufacturer, So Far As Known There Is No Ground For the Assertion-What Mr. Long Says. An Associated Press dispatch from Chicago says that a wealthy iron manufacturer of Louisville has recently imported five expert puddlers from Scotland, and that the manufacturer will be proscented. The dispatch says that A.

J. Lester, of Springfield, Alien Labor Inspector for the Government, is in Chicago. He says that the Alien Labor Contract law has been violated in many instances of late, and that he is getting together the necessary proof to put the law in force againet the violaters. He declines to give any names, but says he has evidence that a certain wealthy iron manufacturer of Louisville has recently imported five expert puddlers from Scotland, and intimates that he will be prosecuted. Mr.

Lester, it is said, will soon be called upon to make exhaustive researches wnong the Italian colonies of the South to make a report upon the number of Italians, not citizens, whe are working here under contract. It is understood that his report is to be used in connection with the present complication with the Italian Government. The dispatch was shown to Mr. Dennis Long by a Courier-Journal reporter last evening. Mr.

Long replied that he had never employed any imported labor, and that he did not know any one who did in Louisville. Mr. Ainslie, of Ainslie, Cochran said that he employed no imported puddlers, and it Mr. Long employed none ho knew of only one other concern in town that would have any use for that many puddlers, the Ewald Iron Company. A CourierJournal reporter called at the Galt House to see Mr.

L. P. Ewald, the President, but he was out of the city. Drs. Roberts' Injuries, The injuries of Mrs.

G. A. Roberta, who was thrown from a buggy on the corner of Brook street and Broadway Wednesday afternoon, are more serious than at first supposed. In falling Mrs. Roberts' head struck a 'curb stone, slightly fracturing the skull.

The fracture is reguded as very serious, and gives rise to considerable apprehension. Charged With Criminal Assault. Stokes Brown, a blind colored man, was arrested yesterday morning by Capt. Hanger and Officer Slater on a warrant charging him with criminally assaulting his eleven-year-old step daughter, Lillie Davis, who lives at 012 West Walnut street. The girl is said to be in a serious condition.

AN ADMINISTRATION TICKET. Candidates That Will Be Supported By Commercial Club Officers. Music Festival Association Seriously Discussed -Notes About the Club. The administration" ticket for the coming election of officers and directors of the Commercial Club has been made up. The ticket is practically the same as the Courier-Journal gave it several days ago.

It is as follows: For President, Owen Gathright, First Vice President, George Braden; Second Vice President, Alvah H. Terry. The following is the ticket for the directory: Tracy Underhill, R. L. Whitney, Harry Wirgman, George T.

Wood, C. H. Haggerty, W. G. Munn, J.

Lithgow Smith, C. B. Hall, R. A. Robinson, J.

W. E. Bayley, Alfred Pirtle, C. C. Mengel, F.

C. Nunnemacher, Temple Bodley. The race will be in the Lest of spirit, and no personalities will enter into it. The gentlemen whose names have been given are representative business men, active workers and supporters of the club's policy. In the event of the election of Mr.

Braden and Mr. Terry there will be two vacancies in the directory to be filled by newly elected officers and directors, which would give six new members to the next board, and possibly seven, Mr. Underhill being the only director standing for re-election. This gentleman's friends claim that he lias done excellent work for two years and have urged him to stand again. It is supposed that the two gentlemen getting the largest number of votes for the directory, below the five who are elected, will be considered the club's choice for election by the board, if there should be any vacancies to be so filled.

It has been claimed by those who are opposing the policy of the club that the directory has been run all the time by a few men. The club policy members say that if members will take the last annual report of the club they will find that the tendency from the first has been to retire old members more and more as the club has grown. The first year only three were retired, the second year three, the third year six; which six or seven possibly will be retired this year. The club policy members claim, too, that the reports that the club is doing nothing have no warrant in fact, and that the annual reports at the round-up" will show one of the most satisfactory year's business since the club's organization, notwithstanding the difficulties the present administration has labored under. A group of Commercial Club members sat smoking in the Down Town Club yesterday discussing the coming election.

One of them. a hold-over, said that everything considered, the year just closing had been the best and most active in the history of the club. He said: Next year I am going to insist strongly on a strict construction of the by-laws upon the subject of ahsenteeism. If a director has not the time to give to the club he ought to resign. This year two directors have practically been absent all the time, when their places should have been filled by active men.

This has hampered the club's work greatly. Another director has been inactive. and his committee has done nothing. The Chairman of the State Development Committee had hardly become informed upon the work he had to do before he was forced by other demands upon his time to retire. and his successor has just begun upon the dutics of his office.

Yet the annual report will make a fine showing, and I believe the policy of the club will be sustained by the largest vote this year that has ever been shown at one of our elections." The movement to organize permanent -Music Festival Company is assuming shape, and the gentlemen who are engaged in the project are sanguine not only of perfecting a strong organization, but of carrying it to success. The Board of Directors of the club have already authorized the appointment of a committee to take the matter squarely in hand. and that committee will be named at the regular meeting next Tuesdav. President Hartwell being absent from the city has delayed the appointment, but it he does not return, the First Vice President. Mr.

Owen Gathright, will name the committee. The new organization. while practically engineered at the start by the directory. will be independent of the club. the idea being to leave that body free, after the May festival, to embark in whatever other enterprise may be deemed desirable.

THE CARPENTERS' DANCE. Enjoyable Entertainment at Liederkranz Hall Last Evening. Carpenters' and Jo'ners' Union, No. 212, gave an enjoyat la entertainment, followed by a dance, at Liederkranz Hell lust evening, which drew a good crowd. The Frogramme embraced a first part, in which, during a picnic scene, a number of vocal selections were given in very pleasing manner, and also skirt a dance by Misses Parrett, Schandler and Hillerich.

The second part was a spe: cialty olio, introducing Mulligun and MeNulty, Miss Laura Hillerich, James McGrath, Graft and Shafer, the Stehlin and ended with a farce called One Night in a Privato Asylum," by the company. The performance was a very creditable one and much enjoyed. Dancing concladed the evening's festivities. STABBED TWICE. Serious Ending of a Drunken rel Between James Brady and John Kealy.

Jewes Prady and John Kealy, employes of the Kentucky Wagon Works. got into a fight last night on the corner of First and Breckinridge streets, and Brady recived two dangerous stabs in the abdomen. The afray was the result of a drunken' quarrel. Brady. it is said, owed Kenly a small sum of money.

which the latter maintained that Brady was trying to steal. Brady struck Kealy in the face, when the latter drew his knife and cut Brady twice. The wounded man was brought into the office of Dr. H. C.

Miller, who attended him. The wounds will not prove fatal. Both men live on the Point. "THE PRIDE OF NEW ALBANY." A Splendid Audience In That City to Witness Miss Kerrigan's First fessional Appearance. Despite the very inclement weather of last evening a very large audience was prsent at the New Albany Opera house.

the auditorium being densely packed, with standing-room at a premium, to witness the production of Davy Crockett" by Frank Mayo and his excellent company. While Mr. Mayo hag long been favorite with New Albany playgoers, vet the immense audience of last evening was drawn principally in honor of Miss Kathleen Kerrigan, who took the leading female character in the cast. Even her most critical friends were satistied with her improvement over her efforts of a few weeks ago. She was loudly, encored in every act.

and was compelled to appear before the curtain repeatedly. The floral tributes tendered her were exquisite in design and literally covered the stage. from pneumonia. A GAME NEXT SUNDAY. The Base Ball Cranks To Witness a Match Between Picked Nines.

The Last of the Players Come InThe Weather Spoiling Preliminary Training. Charged With Arson. Archie Smith was arrested last night by Detective Fow on the charge of being the man who fired the stable of James Philips last week, on the Shelbyville pike. In the stables, which Smith is accused of firing, eighteen cows, three horses and two mules were burned to death, besides quantity of feed and other stuff. Smith managed to elude the officers until last night, when he was arrested on Lafayette street.

Boone has been practicing with the boys for several days. He has great speed and deceptive curves, but is a trite wild. If he shows up well in the practice games ho will be engage by Manager Chapman. Johnson will also probably be given a trial in the box next Sunday.

Manager Chapman says he has speed and curves, but is rather wild. Johnson, however, is a promising young pitcher. The Louisville players were a very discouraged looking set of men last night. They hadn't had their day's practice. The boys all went down to the park yesterday morning, but the rain deprived them from throwing a single ball across the diamond.

Again in the afternoon thir hopes were dashed. This morning Manager Chapman will take the men down to the park and they will practice, whether it rains or not. The Armory has been found too damp for exercise. Manager Chapman himself feels a little blue over the continuous bad weather. The clubs in the East are having fine weather, and are getting in excellent trim.

Larry Laffin, the recently elected Assistant Secretary of the ball club, will resign. He has another business engagement which will prevent him from attending to the business of this office. Laffin is a very promising young man, and he may be manager of a big ball club himself some day. His successor has not yet been selected. of the club will probably be A meeting of the Board of Tuesday.

The contents of the car, molly boxes of crackers, were considerably damaged, GENUINE SANDBAGGER.

One of the Dangerous Weapons Found Upon a Prisoner. Three Men With Pockets Stuffed Full of Bogns Money Captured, With sand-bag and counterfeit money in their possession three men were arrested last evening by Detectives Hickey and Deforester. This arrest will probably rid the city of three as dangerous men, the detectives say, as have ever been here. They gave their names as Ed Kelly, Sam Williams and Jim Ragsdale. Kelly is from Cleveland, He is supposed to be the leader, and when arrested the sand-bag was found in his possesBIOn.

Detective Hickey learned yesterday that the men were, in the city, and he at once started on their trail. At 5 o'clock in the afternoon a clew was found to their whereabouts, and in a short while they were seen going down Walnut street, in which direction they continued until Twents-eighth was reached. Here they went into all the saloons, groceries and other stores in the neighborhood, until about 7 o'clock, when the detective shadowed them again as they returned toward the city. At every street corner they stopped, carefully surveying the neighborhood and watching the passengers ou the streets. At Eighth and Walnut, with the assistance of two firemen, Hickey placed the under arrest and took them to the jail.

When searched a heavy sand-bag was pulled from Kelly's pocket. Maj: Owens, who has been in the police department for over twenty years, says it is the second one he has seen during his service, and he remembers of only one other man in that time who was arrested with one on his person. The bag was made of bed-ticking, and was ahout as large around as a man's wrist. It was about one foot Jong and half filled with sand. When Williams and Ragsdale, were examined $2.50 in counterfeit money was found in their pockets.

This is looked upon with great suspicion, 83 it has only been a few days since Capt. Bauer, of the United States detectives, removed from circulation a large quauti. ty of counterfeit money. This gives a clew to that case, and it is believed that the bogus coin that is said to be flooding the city has been put into cireulation by these men. Ragsdale it a Louisville man, and he once served a long term in the penitentiary for counterteiting.

He is an adept in the business, and was once known as the worst criminal in this community. Since his release from the penitentiary he was thought to have given up his crooked ways. He is said to be a fine coin maker, end his make is hard to detest. Both Kelly and Williams are strangers in this city. They came here several days ago, but it is supposed that they have been learning the town," a8 no sandbagging has occurred here for sune time.

They fell in with Ragsdale, and the detectives say that they would certainly have begun work last night had they not been captured. It was noticed by Detective Ilickey that the three men took particular pains to form the acquaintance of as many saloon-keepers and store-keepers as possible. Their reason for doing this, it is said, was that they did not intend to do any work in the West End. Their field of operations was to be in the eastern part of the city. If a man had been sandbagged and robbed in the East End.

and if they had been arrested it would have been easy to prove that they had been seen in the extreme western part of the city an hour or SO before the assault. This would be a fairly good alibi, it is said, and might lave defeated a case against them. Maj. Owens says that the men are certainly professional thieves, and of the opinion that they are badly wanted at other places besides this city. ANOTHER RAINY DAY.

The Weather Continues to Be greenble and More Is Promised. Renewed rain, mud and high win 1s characterized yesterday's weather. rain came along before 12 o'clock Wednesday night, and continued until after daybreak yesterday without much interruption. After that there was some cessation, but it came again during the afternoon and evening. The amount of precipitation was .61 of an inch.

The barometer marked 29.62C inches in the morning and 29.829 at 8. p. at which hour it was rising slowly. The wind, in the meantime, attained a maximum vey locity of twenty-nine miles an hour. The temperature was a little lower generally than the preceding day, and, altogether, the weather was decidedly disagreeable.

A comparison shows the following record: Thursday. Wednesday. 8:00 a. 8:00 p. Maximum.

Minimum. Departure from The weather was also a little cooler in the northwest, with eight degrees at Denver 08 the lowest temperature. Jacksonville showed the highest, sixtyeight degrees. The Washington Bureau predicts for Kentucky to day: Clearing; lower temperature." This means that it may or may not rain. The day will probably be cloudy for a portion of the time, even if it does not rain.

A SALOON-KEEFER WEEPS. The Cause of His Distress Was the Destruction Wrought By a Drunken Customer. The saloon of Otto Doerting, at Twelfth and Kentueky streets, appeared last evening as though a herd of wild cattle had run through it. Nearly every thing in the house was broken to pieces, and the damage will probably reach $300. The real cause of the wreck, according to the proprietor's story, was the wrath of drunken man named Frank Tierney, who lives next door to the saloon.

Last evening, Doerting says, Tierney came into his place and began drinking. He emptied so many glasses that in a short while he became deeply intoxicated and wanted to whip everybody in the saloon. Doerting attempted to put the inan out, but this seems only to have rendered him more furious, for, grabbing up a chair, he leaped over the counter and with one blow shattered a large double mirror that extended over half the length of the wall. It was valued at $150. All the fancy glass-ware, bottled beer and wine that was on the shelves, the chairs, windows and a part of the counter went with the general wreck.

The proprietor Was unable to stop the man, but after a desperate elfort he succeeded in throwing him out the door. Doerting went to the home of one of the clerks of the City Court and swore out a warrant for Tierney, charging him with destroying private property. Ho was greatly distressed over his loss, and wept freely while he told his story. PICKED UP. -The chiertniument to be given by the kindergarten oircle of King's Daughters, at Mrs.

Looking pale and careworn, the white-haired veteran and hero of many encounters with Sheriffs and posses walked into the Circuit Court-room in Jeffersonville yesterday afternoon. There were two indictments against Hogan, charging him with larceny. His attorney moved that the indictments be dismissed as there was no proof, and that Hogan was in very bad health from persecutions to which he had been subjected. The Court dismissed the indictments, and the Terror," as he is called, returned to his home last night. NEW ALBANY.

JEFFERSONVILLE. When the schedules have all been collected by the enumerators, the process of enumeration is complete. It remains only to put the matter into shape. All the immense array of facts on every subject of importance has heen gathered in a night. Then follows the transcription by the enumerators of the particulars contained householders schedule into the "Enumeration Book," accompanied with proper indications of all local boundaries, and a summary of all houses and of persons enumerated.

The Registrar makes a collation of the schedules and enumeration books, and carefully revises the latter, from which ho makes out a summary for subdistrict, and transmits it, with the other documents, to the Superintendent Registrar. The Superintendent Registrar revises generally the whole of the returns, their accuracy and satisfies himself that the Registrars and Enumerators have in all. cases fully performed the duties required of them. All these separate operations must be completed in a specific number of days, and the different documents transmitted to the Census Office a8 early as possible in May. The probabilities are that within three months from the date of the census a preliminary report will be presented to the Home Secretary for the purpose of being laid before Parliament.

The preliminary report is followed by detailed report, which differs from the former in both quantity and quality. The preliminary report contains no information concerning the ages of the people, their eccupations, birthplace and conjugal condition, the numbers of the blind and of the deaf mutes, and other particulars. All this. information 'will ne embodied in the final report. For the purpose of this latter, each enumeration book and entry book is carefully revised, detectable errors are corrected and a fresh casting up of the entries, as corrected, is made.

The experience of past censuses has heen that the mistakes never reach the percentage of 1-4 per cent. The enumerator receives a fixed fee of one guinea, and a ratable payment of 2g 6d per one persons enumerated. large districts a wilcage is also allowed. No one, taking into account the required qualifications and the quantity of work to be done, will consider this over compensation. Sometimes, when the schedules are not filled up.

the duties of the enumerator are very onerous. He is also liable to insur not only trouble, like several of your New York enumerators, who bearded the cosmopolitan population of the metropolis in the -last cenStIS, Lut oven danger, by going into the courts where smallpox and other diseases are epidemic. The census is taken with comparative case in a town where all the streets and courts are named, where all the houses are consocutively numbered, and where all the boundaries are distinctly marked. There are some places, though, where the residence of a taxpayer, voter or householder is identified with the greatest difficulty. This is being obviated, however, by the increased business-like arrangementa being made in the various municipal governments.

It is interesting to note how this marvelous organization was arrived at. At no period earlier than the commencement of the present century was it possible to form any trustworthy estimate as to the number of persons inhabiting Great Britnin, for the computations founded on Lomeeday books, on subsidy rolls, on payments of poll or health tax, and the like, however ingenious they might be, involved, of necessity, so large an intermixture of guesswork as to deprive their results of any substantial value.

She set the spectators in a roar by her remarks, and the court ordered Sheriff Donor van several times to restore order. Mrs.

Faweett had secreted, sho claims, 8233 in the bottom of a barrel of flour, Mrs. Friend was employed by her as a domestic, and Mrs. Fawcett asserted that Mrs. Friend had stolen it. This resulted in Mrs.
