THE BRITISH CENSUS. How It Will Be Taken Nxt Sunday Mght In theliiited Klnffdoni. The Method Compared With the Slow and Imperfect American Fashion. An Army of Men Will Do the Work In a Single NlRht. The Cost Only $700,000 Against Ten Times That Amount Under Uncle Saw' System.

NO KICKING AFTERWARD. fCorresnondenee of Lh Courier-Journal.) London, March 20. Once every ten years John Hull performs a remarkaole feat. It is the taking of the censu of the Uuited Kingdom, an'l it- is accomplished with a nlsfccl-in-tlie-riot rapidity that challenges even the admiration cf a shrewd hustler front America, The method if taking the census possesses great Interest fur the people of the United States, as ofTeri'g a striking comparison with th blow and unsatisfactory methods of enumerating the American people. On Sunday night, April 5, the Briton will pom through the turnstile of tlioir tenth decennial clarification.

Tiio next doming tho record will bo made up. Uu the evening of tlie same day it will be delivered to Somerset Houw, to be assorted and labeled, and all this work will be effected with marvelous perfection of organization by which Great ISrituin is made to stand still for a minute and be photogrnptied. So consummate is the sk'll with which wr.s planned that all-embracing machinery, that at one and the same moment, all over the United Kingdom, the recording pen will catch and set down every roan's Status. In one day will bo compiled tho material for a statistical sketch of the pat ten years. Ihe tramp on the dusty highway, the clerk in the counting bouse, the gporttnian upon the moor, tLe traveler on the railroad, all will be simultaneously made to stand and be counted.

Unless, like the IrUluu.ia" wallow, one can be in two places at once, down will go each on the recording tablet. All preparations for the stupendous work are completed. Blanks are ready to bo distributed, and the Unite 1 Kingdom has divided up into 000 districts. It is estimated that tho total cost of the work will be h-ss than f.OO.OCO, while for tlie same work in America nearly $7,000,000 was appropriated by CougiesA. An American tabulating machine will be used to obtain totals.

Ihe census will beiutruit.jd by the Uotno Secretary, Mr. Matthews to persona in. authority in tlie different parts of. the United Kingdom. In England nd Sland tho duty will devolve upon tlie English and Scotch liegistrura; Jn Ireland to a Koyal Commission presided over by the IiUh Ilegistrar General, aad in the islands which coiysists ot two jroupa, the Isle of Man in the Irish Sea, and tho channel islands Jersey, Guernsey, AUk-mey, Heron, Sirk, Jet lion and lireclion tho enumeration will be made under the stiirintciidetioo 1 the respective Liieuteuunt Governors, according to inst ructions issued by the liegi.str.tr General of England.

In England and Wales the census stall frill ol the employes of tlie Gcn-eial lieistry Ottice, the superintendent registrars in tlicir district, the registrar. aixl the enumerators. 1 here are ti'-o cupcrint'-ndeut registrars' uitricts in; J-j'Jand and Wales, which are into' 2,1 H5 sub-districts, eai-h having a local registrar of births and deal Under tho supervision of the superintendents, it is the duty of tho registrars to divide tlie suli-dustric-ts into enumeration districts, in accordance with directions furnished them. While the Ixiuudaries of the parishes or townfl.ii are to be taken as the basis upon which to frame the division, strict attention is paid to the various local sub-divisions, so that the number of their kuu.sea aitl inhabitanta nun) it after-i ward be readily and accurately ascertained. Where a parish or township is sulhcient to form of itself a distinct enumeration district, it is assigned to one enumerator and, as a general rule.

It is assumed that wliere the enumerator will not required to travel more than fifteen miles in visiting a smaller number of houses In the country, tlie district is riot too large, When cumiplctel the scheme for tlie division of each sub-district will lo revised by the superintendent repistrar, and by him submitted to the central ofllee, together with the names ot the (crsuns proposed as enumerators tor tho approval of the ltegistrar Genera Tlie enumerators are required to be Intelligent and netive, able to read and write well and have some knowledge of Arithmetic; they are not to lie younger than eighteen years of age or older than sixty-five; they are to be respectable persons, likely to conduct themselves with strict propriety and civility in the discharge of tlieir duties, and well acquainted with the district in which tliey1 are to act. The enumeration in Scotland will be carried on in the same manner, nndcr its own Keeistrar General. In Ireland the enumeration will be effected altogether by the officers and men of the constabulary force, whosa local knowledge renders them particularly well suited for tlio undertaking. l'ublie institution, such as county Jails, convict prisons, reformatories, wcrk-honnes, hospitals, barracks and lunatic asylum, wluro inmutes exceed 2O0 persons, are treated as separate enu-merct'on districts, and tho Governor principal resident officer is appointed tho enumerator. Tho smaller institution are treatel as ordinary houses, and tlie particulars regarding tlieir inmates oli-tairnd by the district enumerators in the Usual way.

The enumeration of person on board merchant ve-sel. fishing smacks and other craft in the ports, docks, creek and rivers is oceom (dished by the nicer of her Majesty's customs. Schedule duly filled by the masters, wih bo obtained in tlie ease of the vessels in poi on tlie census day and on the arrival of every home-trade and coasting ve4 within the ensuing month inquiries will be made In order to ascertain whether the wwiij has been given in at any port in the Uuited Kingdom, and if not, tlie master will he requested to fill jup a schedule. All tlie returns collected by the officers of her Majesty' custom in England will be transmitted direct to tho central office. The Information about seamen and other on board vessels of tlie Royal Navy, at home, will be supplied pursuant to iantrii.ions addressed by tlie Lords of tlie Admirslity to tlie officers in command of her Majesty's ships and vessels.

A return will also be made, under directional of the commander-in-chief of the llritish army, distinguishing officers from non-commissioned officers, and rank and file by tlie commanding officer of every regiment, or battalion of the lint lib. army, at home or abroad, howing tho ages, country of birth, and whether ringle, mamed or widowers also the number and age of the wive and children of soldiers. 1 In order to secure the enumeration of person on board boats, barges and otlier craft in inli.nd waters, not witlda tho jurisdiction of the officers of customs, such- vessels will be visited on tho census morning ana tne require particulars obtained from the mau-r or in eharim. eitlier bv the ordinary enumerator or by a person specially em ployed for the purpose. The enumera ors will be directed to make ddigent inquiry for the purpo 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 tho open air, ar.d to enter such particulars as may be obtaiiM-d respecting them in a form provided for tlie purpose.

Tho fotms and schedules here mentioned nre of such a detailed nature as not to admit of tlieir being copied verbatim here. All the particulars, how ever, in condensed, Ionn, are given in this article. Ihe brut duty of tlie enumerator will be to deliver, in the course of the week preceding the census day, to every occupier of house or tenement a householder' fccliedule, to be filled, up by or on behalf of si eh occupier under a penalty of live pound in case of default-with the required particular concerning himself and family. Particulars culled for are of sex, age, conjngnl condition, relation to head of family, profession, birthplace and in Ireland the Inneunge spoken, me religion ability to read and wtite. This schedule must be filled up by the occupier with tho requisite information concerning every rerson who shn.Il abide in tho house or apartment on the night of Sunday, April 5.

No member of the family absent on that night mut lie entered, except in the ease of persons who are engaged at their usual labor during the night and who will repu-larly return home in the morning. lV-r-sons traveling by railways or otherwise will in like manner be enumerated at the hotels or house at which they expect to stop at on the following day. The next morning tlie enumerator will visit ewry dwtlhng house in tlie United Kingdom in order to collect the scliedulcs which they had left in the ccuise of the week preceding. If tho schedule is drAiiy r.iado up the enumerator mufct ee that the entries are mode in a proper manner and satisfy himself that the particulars are likely to be correct. If.

from any cause, tlie schedule is not filled up it i his duty to fill it up himself from tlie -verbal information of tlie occupier or other competent member of the famliy. In all case he must ascertain carefully that no person who abode in the hou.te or lodjiiiiirs on the previous night has been omitted, and that no p-jrson then absent has been included, except those traveling to or out at wrk during that nisht, and who thall have leturned home next morning. Any fccliedule which contain manifestly false particulars must be corrected. Every census ha its curious incidents," of which probably only a very few become generally known. One of tlie moit reuiarkaUe of these was tho appointm nt in tlie last census of a lady ns enumerator in a Eondon district.

She in reported to have discharged the duties very efficiently." Soino person "ghibit a disinclination to let tho enumerators have the schedule. Many have betn sent to the Ii-'gif trar General privately to avoid tho scrutiny of enumerators in country districts, his sanction having lecn obtained. A spinster in a rural district, of ratlier nniuqln nmi ami 11" til li OTlxl uiii.li win up her doors and window, forbidding access to the enumerator, land saying that a fine of twenty pounds would not induce her to give him tlio desired partio-ulare.

AVTien the schcxlules have all been Col lected bv the enumerators, tho process of enumeration is complete. It remains only to put tlie matter into shape.

and carefully revises tlse lattr, from which lv makes out a summary for hi sub-district, and transmits it, with the locuments, to tlto bupeiintcnuent lLcia- trar. The Sunerlntemlent registrar revises generally tlie whole of the returns, test their accuracy and atisties himself that tlie lteeistrars and Enumerators have in all. cases fully performed tlie duties re-ouired of All these separate oper ations must lie completed in a epeeilic numlier of days, and the different documents transmitted to the Census Oflioe as enrly us iiowuhle in May. 1 ho probabilities are that within three months from the date of tho census a preliminary renort will be presented to the Home Secretary for tlie purpose of being laid before 1'arliatnent. Tlie preliminary report is followed hy detailed report, which differs from tlie former in both quantity and The pieliminary report contains no in formation eoiicerninif Hie aires 01 tno their ceeupatioas, bitthphvie and ronjugal condition, the nrnnl-crs of the blind and of the deaf mute, and otlier particular.

For the purpose of thid latter, each' enumeration iKMik and entry book ia carefully revised, detectable errors are coirected and a fn-sh casting up of the entries a is made.

Tlie enumerator receive fixed fee of one guinea, and a ratable payment of 2s 6d ter one hundred, persons enumer ated, fn Inrce districts a mileage i alsj allowed. No one, taking iuto account the reiuired quliGcatior.a and the quantity of work to I hi done, will consider this over compensation.

Sometimes, when the scliediiles are not filled no. tlie duties of the enumerator no very onerous.

The census is taken with comparative ease iu a town where all the street and courts are named, wliere all the house arc i umbered, and whero all tho l.oun'Uxii'8 are UisUnctly marked.

Tliis i lina oliviafed, however, by tho increased business-like arrangement bi'ine mode in the various municipal governments. It is interestina to note how this marvelous organization wtv arrived at. At no period earlier than tho commencement tiie present century was it oossible to form any trustworthy eatimato as to tho number of persons inhabiting Great Itrit-nin, for the computations founded on L'oniccdiiy books, on suhoiJy. rolls, on pament of poll or health tax.

and the like, however ingenious tliey might be, luvolvei, of neeeosity, so large an intermix t. re of xuciNiwork as to deprive their results of any subafciotial value, No proposal to ascertain the number pt 's popusUion by syatsmaUe enumeration appears to have been made TILE COURTEIl-J OUCNALi IaOUIS VIMiE, FUTDAY 3IOKNTNG, APRIT. 3, 1891. until the middle of the last century. tt March SO, 1753.

Mr. Thoma louer, 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 bill for taking and registering an annual account ot the total number of tlie people, and of the total number of marriages, births and deatlis and also of th total number 'of the poor receivingi aim from every parish and erra-pnrochial place in Great Britain." This bill apparently had the support of the Ministry of the day, for among' those whose names appear on tho back are Mr. George GreviUe, a Eord of the Treasury; Eord Harrington, a Lord ot the Admiralty; Mr. diaries.

Yorke, the Eord Advocate for Scotland Lord Hill-borough, Eord DuOin and Mr. Oswald. The proposal was received with alarm, however, and combated with a virulence -of language widen excite the surprise of those living in this enlightened day. One of the chief opponents tho bill ia the Commons wa Mr. Tborntan, member for York, who said: -1 did not believe tnat tnere was any set of men, or, indeed, any individual of the human species, so presumptuous and so abandoned as to make the ir.ip sal we have lust heard.

I hold this project to be totallv subversive of the last re- runlps of 'ilUish liberty 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 inj reo. people. Moreover, an annual register of our people will acquaint our enemies abroad of our weakness." That was in tjio days when war was wm i between nation on small provocation. Another opponent of the WH was Mr. Mttthtw Ridley, member of lVrliament for Ncwcantje-on-'ryne, who said tliat letters received by him from different persons showed that tho people looked upon tho proposal as cmnioufr, and tea red lest sotiH.

public misfortune or an opl-demicnl dint em per should follow the numbering." Notwt'Jistanding this opposition tho bill parked through ail its stages in the Commons by larg majorities, only to 1k hi own out on tlie second residing in tlie Uonso of Lords. Nearly hair a century passed away before t'io proposal was renewed, and when tho new bill was introduced in tlio Uonce of Common in November, 1S0O, it had the advantage of a great change wldch Iiad apparently occurred in pul-lic opinion on the fnbjecU Tlie Population bill was) brought in by Mr. Abbot, member for Hclston, on November "0, 180O, and passed hhrough all its stages without opposition. Tie first census was taken on March Id, lfOl the second on May 27. 1911 the third ou Mi 28.

1821 the fourth on May SO, the fifth on June Ic41; tlie sixth on March 31, 1851; the seventh on April 1861 tlie eighth on April 1871; the ninth on April 4, ItSl, and the tenth will tie taken, as above sestsl, on April" 5, 1801. 1hv census cnuinera'iiens of 1801, 1811, 1931 and 18v'l nu rely gave tlie numirs of individuals lesidont in ench parish and county, tocetlit-r with some Information more or less detailed, concerning their ages, occupations and dwellings. The census of 1 841 was far more comprehensive. It was a catalogue strictly for it not only recorded the number of individuals, but it also gave tlie name and description of each. That of 1851 was more elaborate still.

each succeeding enumeration has been made with less friction, greater success and less errors. In consequence of the many improved me ihanical or administrative arrangemect-s auggested by experience and to bo brought into action, the census of 1891 should he more accurate than any one preceding. Tlie English mode of enumeration may well be studied closely, for it 1 beyond a doubt the most excellent in existence in any country. Probably while the American press and puMio 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 oonulation is the most importmt Fubject of statistics.

To ascertain the various causes wliicn anect tlie Mate of population, to appreciate the true relation of all tlie social elements, and to show how each individual contributes his quota to tlie solution of the great human Dhenomena. are the la bom of con summate philosophy aud of deep mathe matical scioree. aolo to gmsp at great truths, fix their principle and deduce tlieir 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 At Known There Is No Ground For the Assertion What Kr. Long Saj. An Associated Press dispatch from Chicago say that a wealthy iron manufacturer of Louisville lias recently imported five expert puddlers from Scotland, and that tlio manufacturer will bo prosecuted. The dispatch says that A.

J. Lester, of Springfield, Alien Labor Inspector for tlie Government, is in Cldcago. He says that tlie Alien Labor Contract hw has been violated In many Instances ot late, and that he is getting together the necessary proof to put the law in force againct the violators. He declines to give but says he has evidense that a certain wealthy iron manufacturer of Louisville has recently imported five export puddlers from Scotland, and intimate that he will be prosecuted. Mr.

Lester, it is said, will soon bo called upon to make exhaustive researches among the Italian colonies of tho South to make a report, upon the number of Italians, not citizens, who are working here under contract. It is understood tliat his report is to be used in connection with the present complication with tho Italian Government, The dinpatch was shown to Mr. Dennis Long by a Courier-Journal reporter last evening. Mr. Long replied that be had never cm loyed any imported btbor, and that he did not know any one who did in Louisville.

Mr. Ainslio, of Ains-lie, Cochran said that ho employed no imported puddlers, and It Mr. Long employed none ho knew of only one otlier concern in town thai would have any use for that many puddlers, the Ewald Iron Company. A Courier-Journal reporter called, at the Gait House to see Mr. L.

Candidates That Will Be Supported By Commercial" ClubOftTcera. A Jlasle Festival Aosoclatlon Seri-nily Diseassed N'etej Abaat 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 Presi dent, Owen Gathrislit, First Vice lYesident, George lSraden; Second Vice President, Alvah U.

Terry. The follow ing is the ticket. for the directory: Tracy Underbill, It. L. "Whitney, Harry Wirgman, George T.

Wood, C. H. Hag- gerty, W. G. Munn, J.

Lithgow Smith, C. B. Han. U. A Robinson, J.

W. E5. Bay ley, Alfred Pirtle, C. C. Men gel, F.

C. Nunncm aclier. Temple Dudley. The race will be in tlie best 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 pilicy.

In the event ot the election of Mr. Brad en and Mr. Terry there will be two vacancies in the directory to be filled by newly elected officers and directors, which would givo six new members to the next board, and possibly even, Mr. Underbill being the only director standing for re-election. This gentleman's friends claim tliat he has 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 vote for tho 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 fillud. It has been claimed by those who are opposing tlie policy of the elub that the directory has been run all tlie time by a few men. The club policy members say that if members Will take the last annual report ot the club they will find that tlie tendency from the first has been to retire old members more and more as the club has grown. Ike first year only throe wore retired, tlie second year three, tlie third year six; wldch six or seven possildy will be retired this year. Tlie club policy members claim, too, that the reports that tlie club is doing nothing have no warrant in fact, and that tie annual reports at the round-up" will show one of the most satisfactory year's business since the club's organization, notwithstanding the dillieultiea the present administration has labored under.

A group ot Commercial Club members sat smoking in the Down Town Club yesterday discussing the coming election. One of them, a hold-over, said that everything oonslderal. the year ut closing had been the beet and mtst active in the history ot the club. He said: "Next year I am going to insist strongly on a strict construction of the by-laws upon the subject ot ali-sentceixm. If a director has not the time to give to the club he ought to resign.

'This year two directors havo practically been absent all the time, when their nlaces should have been filled by active men. This ha hampered tho club's work greatly. Another director has been inactive, and his committee has done nothing. Tlie Chairman of the State Development Committee bad hardly become informed upon the work he had to do before he was forced b.r other -demands' twon Ids time to retire, and hi successor has lust begun upon the duties of his office. Vet the annual report will make a fine showing; and I believe the policy of tlie club will be sutalrd by the largest vote this year tliat has ever been shown at one ot our elections." The movement to organize a permanent 'Musit Festival Company is assuming shape, and the gentlemrn vhq are engaged in tho project are sanguine not only of perfecting a strong organization, but of earning it to success.

The Board of Directors of the club have already authorised the appointment of a committee to take tlie matter squarely in band, and that committer will bo named at the regular meeting next Tuidav. 1 "resilient Hartwell being sbeent from the city has delayed the appointments but if he does not return, the First Vice President. Mr. Owen Gathrivht. will name the committee.

The new organization, while practically engineered at the start bv the directory. wiT be Independent of the club, the idea being to lenve that body free, after the May festival, to embark In whatever other enterprise may be deemed desirable, THE CARPENTERS' DANCE.

George Boone, a young man who pitched, great bail in the Southern League two years ago, and who is being given a trial by Manager Chapman, will probably alternate w.tli Ehret in lite box. Boone lias been practicing with the boys for several days, llo baa great speed and deceptive corves, bat is trifle, wild. If he snows up well in tlie practieu guni's lie will be engaged by Manager Chapman. Johnson will also probably bo given a trial in tlie box next bun-tlay.

Manager Chapman saya he has Mwed aod curves, but is rather wild. Johnson, however, is a promising young pitcher. The Louisville players vrere a very discouraged looking set of men last night. They hadn't had tlieir day's practice. The boys all went down to tlio park frsterday morning, but the rain deprived hem from throwing ingl- ball across khe diamond.

Again ia the afternoon lMr hope were dashed. This morning jMonager Cliapman will take the men down to the park and they will practice, whether it rains or not. The Armory bot-a found too damp for exercise. Manager Chapman himself feels a little blue over the continuous bad weather. The -clubs in the are having fine snd are Retting in excellent trim.

With a sand-bog and counterfeit money in their possession three men were arrested last evening by Detectives Hick-ey and Deforcster. This arrest will probably rid the city of three as dan gerous men, the detectives say, as have ever been here. They gave their nanus as Ed Kelly, Sam illiiuns and Jim Bags-dale. Kelly is from Cleveland. Ue is supplied to be the leader, and when sr rested the sand-bag was found in his possession.

Detective- Hickcy learned yesterday that tlie men wen- in tlie city, and he at once, started on their trail. At 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 tliey continued until Twenty-eighth wa reached. Hero they went into all tlie saloons, groceries and other stores in the neighborhood, until about 7 to' clock, when the detective shadowed them again tliey returned toward the city. At every street corner tliey storped, carefully surveying the neighborhood and watching the passengers on the streets. At Eighth and the assistance of two firemen, Hickey placed the men under arrest and took them to the Jail.

When searched a heavy sand-bag was pulled from Kelly's pocket. Owens, who has been In the police department for over twenty years, says it is tlie second ones he has Kca during his service, and lie remembers of only ono other man in that time who was arrested with one on his person. The bag was made of and was about as large around ns a man's wrist. It was about one foot long and half filled with sand. When Williams and Rugs-dale, were examined in counterfeit mon-y was found in their pockets.

This is looked upon with great suspicion, as it lias only been a few days since dipt, linuer, of tlie United States leteetivei removed fnm circulation a large quantity counterfeit money. Tliis gives a clow to that case, and it is believed that the bogus coin that is said to bo flooding tlie city has been put into circulation by the men. Rag-dale a Louisville man, and he once served a long term in tho penitentiary for eounterleiliug. He is an adept in the business, and was once known as tlie worst criminal in this community. Since his release from tlie penitentiary lie was thought to hare given up his crooked ways.

He is said to be a fine coin maker, nod his ma Re is hard to detect. Both Kelly and Williams are stranger in this city. Tliey came here several days ago, but it is supposed that they have been "learning tho town," as no sacdbaireing hns occurred ttere for some time. Tliey fell in with Ragsdale, and the detectives say tliat tliey would certainly ha, begun work last night had they not been captured. It was noticed by Detective Hickey that tho three men took particular pains to form the acquaintance of as many saloon-keepers and store-keepers ss possible.

Their reason foe doing tliis, it is said, was that they did not intend to do any work in tlio West Lnd. Tlieir field of operations was to be in tlie eastern part of the city. If a man had ben wrnl-baggd and robbed in the East End, and if they had been arrested it would have been easy to prove tliat tliey ltad lieen seen in the extreme w. stern part of the city an hour or so before tho asstult. This would be a fairly good alibi, it 1.

said, and might have defeated a ease against them. Maj. Owens says that tho men sre certainly professional thieve, and lie Is of the opinion that tliey are badly wanted at other places besides this city. ANOTHER RAINY DAY. The Weather Continue to Be Dia.

Tlio barometer marked 20.62 inches in the morning and 39.829 at 8 p. at which hour it was rldng slowly. The wind, in the meantime, attaimd a maximum velocity of twenty-nine miles an hour.

The Caate of His Distress Was the Destruction Wrought By a Draakea Customer. The saloon of Otto Doerting, at Twelfth and Kentucky street, appeared last evening as though a. herd of wild cattle had run through it. Nearly every tldng in the bouse was broken to pieces, and the damage will probably reach $30X The real cause of the wreck, according to the proprietor's story, was the wrath of a drunken man named Frank Tierney, who lives next door to the saloon. Last evening, Doerting says, Tierney came into his place and begun drinking.

Ue 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 man out, but tliis woos only to havo tendered him more furious, for, grabbing up a chair, he leaped over the counter and with one blow shattered a large double mirror tliat extended over half the length of tlie wall. It was valued at $150. All the fancy glass-ware, bottled beer and wine tliat was on the shelves; the chairs, windows an I a part of the counter went with tlie general wreck. The proprietor was unable to stop the man, but after a desperate effort be 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 greatlr distressed over his loss; and wept freely whllo he toll his story. PICKED UP. Tlie entertainment to be given by tba kiidcrg-ricn circle ot King's Daughter, at Mrs. J.
