Telaraas 1d Th Star, THEY MUST FORK OVER. Chicago’s Ex-Treasurers Called on to Pay Interest on Deposits. Catcaco, April 22.—The city council last night adopted a resolution which will cause the gentlemen who have officiated as treasurers of the city during the past ten years some trouble. In a message to the council some time ago Mayor Creger stated that for years past the city funds have been kept on deposit in one or more banks selected by the treasurer and drawing interest amount- ing toe large sum annually, which sum has been retained by the treasurer as a personal emolument without the sanction of law and contrary to sound public policy. ‘The finance committee last night reported a resolution directing the corporation counsel to bring suit upon the official bonds of each and every city treasurer who has occupied that office during the last ten years, to the end that such “personal emolument so retained by said treasurers, without the sanction of law and contrary to sound public policy, shall be recov- ered from the pert 4 treasurers and from their sureties and turned into the treasury of the city of Chicago, where said interest rightfully belongs.” The amount of interest which has been pocketed by the city treasurers for years past 1s estimated all the way from $30,000 to $50,000 yearly. ee Herbert Ward Married. New York, April 22—Herbert Ward, the African traveler, was married last night to Miss Sarita Sanford, The couple will sail for Europe on Wednesday. — Saved From Embarrassment. Artzanta, Ga., April 22.—The Constitution to- day will say that the crowd from Washington on the southern “Pan-American” tour was made up merely of the private clerks and valets of the delegates and that their failure to come saves the people here some emborrassment. The same journal censures Secretary Blaine for having left the south out of the original pro- gram when the delegates were really in the party. —_—_-__ The Sullivan and Jackson Match. Sax Fraxcisco, Cat., April 22.—At the meet- ing last night of the members of the California Atbletic Club an informal decision was reached to match Sullivan and Jackson for a purse of $20,000. No agreement when the fight will take place was reached, but five or six months hence seemed tobe the prevailing opinton. The proposition will be formally brought be- fore the club tonight. nate Something Like a Fight. Cutcaco, April 22.—A large crowd filled Mad- ison Street Theater to see the Australian, Mur- phy, and Tommy White, the Belfast Spider, spar. The Australian seemed to be seized with the idea that Tommy intended knocking him out. He sailed in and let Tommy have a right- hand swing just behind the ear, flooring him. Tommy arose rather groggy and Murphy pounded him viciously onthe jaw. This riled the Chicago man and in the second round he smashed the Australian repeatedly, finally drawing blood from his nose. Murphy rushed at bim in return and the crowd yelled with de- ligbt, expecting to see a knock-out fight, but they were disappointed. The “Parson” stepped forward and spoiled the ardor of the men and the remainder of the match was very tame. ———_— Like an Earthquake. Lepanoy, Pa., April 22.—At 6 o'clock this morning the people throughout the city were startled by the explosion of one of the Cole- brook furnaces, which sounded like an earth- quake. There were four reports in quick suc- cession, buildings were shaken and windows rattled. The jacket atthe furnace stack was blown out and the sheet iron root blown into the air. William P. Wright, engineer, was knocked down and severely burned. Thousands of peo- ple ran to the scene of disaster. The fire de- partment was called out and soon extinguished the flames, The damage-to the turnace will amount to several tho: d doliars, Why Did He Die? Rockrorp, Int, April 22.—The dead body of Frauk R. Harbison, son of Alderman Wm. Harbison, was found on a farm south of the city last evening. A bullet wound in the left breast told the probable manner of death, but whether it is a suicide or murder has not been determined. A revolver, raz and a bottle of laudanum were found near the corpse. Both radial arteries had been severed below the knee, Frank was universally liked and no reason can be assigned for his self-destruction, if such it proves to be. ee Diphtheria Among the Vikings. Sr. Pact, Mr April 22.—Malignant diph- theria is epidemic in the village of Vining in Otter Tail county and nine-tenths of the popu- lation are afflicted with the disease. There have been twenty deaths sin April 1 and thirty altogether. Instead of adopting meas- ures to check the contagion. the people, mostly Scandinavians, are seemingly doing evers to spread it. The state board of health has been notified, but as yet no steps have been taken by it to quarantine the village or assist the sick Villagers. —_—.—___ Troops Holding Back Indians, Curcaco, April 22.—A dispatch from Fort Robinson, Neb., says: Troops at this fort are under orders to be ready to take the field at a moment's notice to intercept the Cheyenne Indians who meditate leaving the Pine Ridge agency without permission to consult with others of their tribe in regard to certain lands. It is feared that the old Indians cannot restrain the young bucks. Chief Tangled Hair and forty-four Indians came here yesterday and reported that they wer a starving condi- tion. The commanding officer has ordered rations for them and they will be sent back to the agency. ————— Against Secret Lodges. Crrcaco, April 22.—A national convention to consider the secret lodge system opened in West Madison Hall today. The convention has been called because, to quote one of its pro- moters, “During the past year events of na- tional importance have fixed the attention of the people as never before upon the extent and power of the secret lodge system. The Cronin murder in Chicago. the investigation of the Mormon oaths in Salt Lake City and the up- rising against Jesuit intrigue in Boston and the British provinces have been a revelation to the people, aud danger lurks in this system,” Jay Gould’s Train Derailed. Mornititoy, Agk., April 22.—Jay Gould's special train en route to Fort Smith was de- railed here yesterday afternoon.

At the conclusion of Mr. Mitchell's speech in the Senate this afternoon the concurrent reso- lution in reference to election of Senators by the people was referred to the committee on privileges and elections. The bili making appropriations for the an- nual expenses of the government of the Dis- trict of Columbia was then taken up. Senator Frye moved that the price to be pee for asphalt pavement be raised from @2 to $2.50 per square yard. Senator Plumb = Heese to the amendment and then Senator Ingalls took the floor to say that no asphalt had ever been compounded which could withstand rae vet and tear ver sequent upon use eavy wagons an drays, The Senator as he looked to the time in the near future when heavily laden wagons would be compelled to run only on cer- tain streets which would be paved with Belgian block or some other practically inde- structible material, Asphalt was a good pave- ment for pleasure driving and for light vehi- cles, otherwise he thought it was the most ex- pensive and most useless pavement ever in- vented. Senator Dawes advocated a little more pri- mary expenditure on pavements. ‘Those which were cheapest at first were always most expen- sive and most disgraceful before they coul replaced. Senator Gorman wanted the appropriation committee to open the doors to competition. ‘The laying of asphalt pavement, he said, was now a monopoly, The amendment offered by Gen. Frye nam- ing the limit of price to $2.50 was agreed to. BRIDGE TO ARLINGTON. Col. Huins’ Report Sent to the Senate by Secretary Proctor. The Senate on February 20, 1890, passed a resolution calling upon tne Secretary of War to examine and report what would be the most suitable kind of a bridge to be constructed at a point at or near the foot of New York avenue across the Potomac river to » point on the United States cemetery grounds with estimates, &c, Secretary Proctor today transmitted to the Senate the report of Lieut. Col, Hains, to whom the matter has been referred. Col. Hains refers to the great necessity for such astructare. Any bridge, he says, which does not give a clearance under it of 150 feet would be more or less of an ob- struction, Such a bridge, however, would prove too expensive aud the grades would be too steep. On the other hand, a draw bridge would be not at allacceptable at this point to the com- mercial interests, besides being a troublesome affair to passengers. New York ave. extended i ithe point he thinks to start the bridge providing no extra- ordinary engineering difficulties are to be met with. Both approaches will be on government land and no land damages will increase the cost or cause litigation. As a compromise between the 150-foot clear bridge end a draw bridge he proposes a suspension bridge. for which he transmits plans 105 feet above the water, which would allow almost any ves- sel to pass under by lowering her top masts, The plans show an extreme width for the structure of 54 feet, with roadway for vehicles 34 feet wide and two sidewalks 8 feet each, The estimated cost is $3,591,000.

Cards With Holes in Them Giving the Vital Statistics of the Country. THE WORK OF TABULATION 3Y BLECTRICITY BEGUN AT THE CENSUS OFFICE TODAT—EACH ACTOMATIC COUNTING MACHINE EXPECTED TO ‘DO THE WORK OF ELEVEN CLERKS, A portion of the actual work of tabulating the returns of the eleventh census was begun today. Of course no returns have as yet been received of the statistics of population, as the enumeration of the people does not begin until June 1, The number of deaths and other facts in connection with vital statistics have been collected in various portions of the country and now these returns have been re- ceived at the Census Office and they are being tabulated. PUNCHED IN CARDS. Instead, however, of receiving the long schedules containing the facts in regard to each individual who has died during the past year or five years, the census officials are get- ting from the special agents in the field stacks of cards, each one about the size ofa postal card. These cards appear to be perfectly blank pnd as far as any written scription goes theyare blank, Each one, how- ever, is found to ve puuctied with round holes and each one of the punctures means something. At one side of the card two or three holes means that the card relates toa death in a certain district or ward ina certain town and state. What is known as a proof card, where each ho e is properly labeled, tells the story of the card to the out- sider, These cards have been punched by the special agents and their assistants in the various parts of the country and have been sent to the Census Office for tabulation. The punch- ing portion of the electric tabulating machine adopted by the Census Office was supplied to the agents of the cen-u; office. THE TABULATING NAC INE. As has been stated in Tx Sram this ma- chine records on small dials by means of in- terruptions of electric currents the class of facts punched out on the cards. In addi- tion there is a small box at one side of the machine d vided into com- partments with a motallid lid over each. Each compartment is naimed after a certain class of facts and then the lid is connected with the machine by an electric current. For exam- ple, today the work was begun of assorting the cards received by sanitary districts and wards, One compartment was named A ward and the other B. | When the card was placed on the machine and the handle brought down a needle-like projection passed though the holes in the card, thus indicating a ward. Then the current was broken, the cover flew 9) and the operator was able to place the card in the — compartment. When the cards are taken out and placed in a pile certain holes must correspond or else itis known that a mistake has been made. After the cards have been assorted they will be tabulated to show in each district how many whites and colored there were, which were native and which foreign born and of the former class how many had both parents born in this country and how many one or both parents foreign born. Of the total opulation how many had a mother orn in the United States or in England or in any of the dozen other countries that are on the list. In this way a series of answers to some forty questions will be quickly and accu- rately tabulated. EQUAL TO ELEVEN CLERKS. It is stated that if these machines do the work that is expected one machine will be equal to eleven clerks, with the chances of ac- curacy on the side of the machine. Under the contract made with the Census Office the inventor furnishes eight machines to do the tabulation of the vital statistics and fitty when the population schedules are re- ceived.

Grievances of the Southern Utes— Various Other Matters. In March Indian Commissioner Morgan sent George W. Parker, an agent of the Indiau Bu- reau, to the reservation of the southern Utes in southwestern Colorado to investigate and re- port the sentiment of the Indians with respect to their proposed removal to Utah, His report has been received, together with a special re- port by the regular agent, and cop- ies have been furnished Senator Teller. Both reports agree that the Indians greatly desire a change of location and Mr. Parker says they express both surprise and dis- content at the failure of the government to carry out the terms of the agreement made with the commissioner: appointed to negotiate @ transfer to Utah. Mr. ‘ker's assertions that the government would do what was right in the matter made at acouncil of the principal men of the tribes restored the Indians, the re- port says, to a better frame of mind than that exhibited at any time for two months past, The Indians complain, and the Agent says justly, at the failure to receive their bounty money when due and when it would do them the most good, and it is dificult to induce them to enter upon the spring farming opera- ons. School at the agency has been abandoned owing to the condition of the school house, which was no longer safe or even habitable, THE HOUSE COMMITTEE ON NAVAL AFFAIRS today ordered a favorable report on the bills refunding the penalties exacted from the Columbian iron works of Baltimore for failure to finish the gua boat Petrel and from the Union iron works of San Francisco for failure to finish the cruiser Charleston within the contract time. The committee also ordered a favorable report on a bill which has passed the Senate to amend the Revised Statutes in regard to the naming of naval vessels, The committee amended the Senate bill As amended it provides that the vessels of the navy shall be divided inté four classes aud shall be commanded as nearly —as_—_—possi- ble as follows: First and second rates by cap- tains, third rates by commanders and fourth rates by lieutenant commanders and lieuten- ants. Itis also provided that vessels of the firstrate siall be named after states of the Union, second rates after ‘cities, third rates after important naval events and fourth rates after lakes and rivers of the United States, THE POST OFFICE APPROPRIATION BILL. The House committee on post offices and post roads today completed the post office ap- propriation bill for the fiscal year 1891. It carries an appropriation of $72,450,982, being but «few thousand dollars more than the es- timates submitted by the department and 5,845,638 more than the appropriation for the current fiscal year. MILEAGE TICKETS ON BATLROADS. The House committee on commerce today considered the request of the commercial trav- elers that overland railroad systems be author- ized to issue mileage tickets. The matter was reterred to a subcommittee for turther consid- eration. It seems to be the opinion of the committee that railroads already have the au- thority to grant mileage tickets over other roads. The committee arranged to give a hearing to parties interested in the proposed changes in the interstate commerce law on the 29th instant, At that time they propose to close the hearings on that subject, FARM [RODUCE WAREHOUSES. The Senate committee on agriculture and forestry today had under consideration Senator Vance’s bill to provide for a system of ware- houses for farm produce throughout the coun- try, to be operated by the government, which is’ to isaue its notes upon deposits of grain therein.

RANDALL'S PLACE ON THE COMMITTEE. The democrats of the House are anxious about the appointment of the successor to Mr. Randall on the committee on rules, Mr. Carlisle has been practically the only democrat on this committee, Mr. Randall being to ili ever to attend the sessions. It is the desire of the democrats now to get a stroug representative man of their party on the committee with Mr. Carlisle. Mr. Mills has been pressed by his friends, but it is udderstood that Mr. Reed will not appoint him. The democrats gener- ally favor the appointment of Mr. Crisp, who is a good parhamentarian and one of the strongest men on that side of the House, parses sect OBJECTING TO THE TRACKS, on the Bill to Extend the Columbia Railroad. The Commissioners this afternoon gave a hearing to those interested in House bili 8594, “to authorize the extension of the Columbia Railroad.” There were present Mr. Nathaniel Wilson, the attorney of the railroad; M.

Fremont of New York to be a major general, U.S. army, on the retired list Bheomern ry shag em pepe for the district Various Bills Acted Upon by the House Military Committee, ‘The House committee on military affairs to- day directed a favorable report on the Wheeler bill to define the line of the army and increase its efficiency, with certain amendments. The Dill provides that the line of the army shall consist of twenty - five regiments of infantry, ten of cavalry, seven of artillery, one of engineers and the of- ficers of the corps of engineers detailed for duty with that regiment, Regiments are to consist of three battalions and twelve com- panies, The President is authorized to consolidate the enlisted men as signed to @ regiment into such numbers of companies as can be fully officered by the number of officers usually on duty.

The committee also ordereda favorable re- port on the Cutcheon bill providing for the transfer of the weather bureau to the Depart- ment of Agriculture and agreed to report a substitute for the Cummings bill to fix the status of contract surgeons wm the army. NO RAILROAD HEARING TODAY. The District Committee Refer the Bur- ton Biil to the Commissioners. A number of the parties especiaily inter- ested in the pending railroad bills were on hand today to attend the meeting of the House District committee, but without avail, as the committee considered the mat- ter had reached such a stage as to render little private consultation among the members desirable. The doors were therefore closed and the committee pro- ceeded to discuss the Burton bill without out side help or interference. The different fac- tions, however, did not succeed in getting together with that closeness which would signify an eariy agreement. Mr. Moore pro- posed a scheme of commission to be appointed by the President to settle the disturbing questions. Mr. Moore's plan, it is understood does not meet with much support from other members of the committee. it was finally moved by Mr. Atkinson that the Barton bill “be recommitted to the Commis- sioners to obtain their views on the engineer- ing difficulties to be met in the proposed sinking of the tracks and removal of the pres- ent station, This motion was argreed to and the bill will be sent back to the Commissioners, This action was brought about, it is thought, ou account of the statement made by Assistant Chief Engineer Barclay of the Pennsylvania road to the Commissioners yes- terday, in which the cost of such alterations were estimated at ove 1,500, DISTRICT GOVERNMENT, WATER MAY RUN LOW TOMORROW, If the weather is favorable tomorrow Col. Elliot expects to make an important connection between the 45-inch and 36-inch mains near 29th street, in Georgetown. In order to do the work it will be necessary to throw the 36-inch main out of service between Rock creek and Foundry branch. As a result many people throughout the city wall find the water pressures in their houses considerably reduced during tomorrow and possibly Thursday, but it is not expected that any building will be wholly deprived of a flow of water.

Secretary Tracy has decided not to allow the Marine Band to accompany the Maryland Society of the Army and Navy of the Confed- erate States to Richmond on the 29th of May on the occasion of the unveiling of the Lee monument. This was done simply as a matter of precaa- tion, the Secretary disclaiming any idea of seo- tional prejudice or discrimination, the ground of his refusal being that as the band is obliged to perform here on the 30th of May in conneo- tion with the decoration day ceremonies it would be rous to send it down to Richmond the day before and depend upon the uncertaintics of an over- crowded railroad to get it back in time. If the band went it would have to play at @ con- cert on the evening of the 29th, and the chauces would be very much against the band’s being able to return in sea- son, When the committee of the society waited on the Secretary the other day he presented these objections and said that he did not think that he could comply with their request, They offered to change the date of the concert to a 28, 9 this did not induce the Secretary a is mind, The society will take the Annapolis baud. r A Lesson for Policemen.
