schelastic Population.

We give below the statitics of our
school population as collected by
Mr.. James Woods, with his custo-.
mary care and attention. The
pressing importance of the questions
arising from these figures can only
be realised by those whose business
it is to provide facilities for educa-
ton proportionate to these numbers.
The circumstances which have oc-
casioned delay in the construction
of school building are to be the
subject of a conference between the
School Building Committee and the
Board of Mayor and Aldermen. We
will say before hand that we do not
consider censure due to any one for
the distractions which are due to
uncomfortable circumstances, but
we trust thatsome arrangement will
be arrived at, which will expedite
the much needed building:

Historical IncidenIs.

Whilst In the Treasurers office, we
were introduced by City Treasurer Fran
els Vincent, to Mr.. George Johuston, of
Elkton, who is writing the history of
Cecil County. Maryland. AS Delaware
and MARYLAND have their affairs inter-
mixed, Mr.. Vincent, and he exchang-
ed notes together. He had just handed
to the City Treasurer, an account of a
very old tomb stone on the Welsh Tract
near Iron Hill, south of the depot at
Newark. This Welsh Tract, was settled
by Old School Baptists. Their church
was founded in Wales in 1701. They were
the second church of "Old Baptists" es-
tablishment in this country. The tract
was granted to them by Penn in 1902
They came about that year.
Here is the inscription:
"Riceus Rythrough, ,natus apud fianwe-
nog, the comitatu Cardigan. at hc Sc
pulhus fuit an domino 1907. IL tatis
pise 81"
Remember man as thou standeth by.
As thou art now, 30 once was |.
As l am now, so thou must be
Therefore prepare to follow me-"
This Riceus Rythrough was an old Off
Ger of Oliver CromwelPs.
Mr.. Vincent translates the latin in
scription rs follows:
Riceus Rythrough, horn in Fannenog,
in the County of Cardigan, and he was
buried here in the year of our Lord, 1907.
HIS age was 81.
The particular reason of Mr.. John
sons calling, was that Mr.. Vincent had
given him information of an invasion of
Delaware by the adherents of Lord
baltimore, and the killing of a Mr.. Ogle,
one of the ancestors of our worthy re-
corded of deeds in that raid.

A FEW MORE REMARKS BY MRS. "cAP-
TAIN JENKs"-GEN. BoYNToN RECALL
ED.
WASHINGTON, June 25.-In the Potter
committee, to-day, Mrs. Jenks was fur
ther briefly examined, but without elicit
ing anything of particular interest. Her
stage tricks and her pert ways are begin
ming to pail, and the desire is 10 get
through with her as soon as possible. She
did not bring the documents which she
promised and she very saucily intimated
that she had not made uP her mind
whether she would bring them. MIR.
Boynton, the correspondent of the Gin
cinnati Gazette, continued his testimony
as to his conversation with the President
on the subject of AndersoL's appoint
ment to office, his impressions now ofthe
subject being somewhat different from
those entertained by him shortly after
the conversation. He next gave
the points of a conversation with Mr.. JUS
tice Harlan, (who was one of the visiting
statesmen to New Orleans,) and who, ac-
his efforts In arranging matters In New
Orleans would aid in his appointment to
the Supreme Bench.
Ex-Marshal j. X. G.. Pitkin ("my dear
Pitkin'1 was then placed on The stapd.
and he read long statement giving de-
tailed interviews with james h. Ander-
son in New Orleans and in Washington.
The substance of his statement seemed to
tend to break down the effect of Ander-
81 n
worthy of belief. He indicated plainly
plainly that he had very little
confidence IN Anderson, and no
doubt this want of confidence was mu-
tusl
AT the conclusion of his main state
ment the committee took recess, after
which Ne was recalled and subjected to a
direct examination by Mr.. Springer as to
matters in Louisiana at aud following
the presidential election. He took occa-
sion TO explain that he believed he was
badly treated bv the administration be-
cause of his non-retention in office. He
related all the circumstances OF his cor.
respondence with Gen. Butler, and gave
the committee to understand that he was
not disposed to accept any favors at the
hands OF the present administration. MIR
Cox showed him large number of pri-
vate letters written by ID. A. Weber, and
er's handwriting he identified them. He
was then shown the WeberA nderson
agreement, and failed to identify Web
er's signature on that. This was laying
the minority Of the committee, and which
they say they expect to prove,ithat An
d=rson or some one else forged Weber's
signature TO that agreement.

INDIANAPOLIS, June 24.-The. uphill
character of the contest soon to be OPEN
ed in this State by the Democracy, while
fully comprehended here, is not under
stood abroad. The approaching canvass,
with the election following, may yield a
Democratic majority of 10000, and yet
the substantial fruits of victory incline
to the Republicans through the workings
of the gerrymander passed in 1873. This
so divided the State that the Republicans
with minority of votes amounting to
more than 1000 at the election of 1876,
obtained nine out of thirteen of the Con-
gressional Represent atives.
1t required 213,2l9 Democrats to elect
four members of Congress, while POI, 500
Republicans elected nine members, making
$500 Democrats necessary to elect Con-
gresham while only 23,069 Republicans
were competent for the same duty. This
shows the quality of disfranchisement in
a way that is understood by every voter
in the State, and it alto shows that great
labor will be required to right the iniqui-
] ty. While the people of the South have
been relieved Of their voting disabilities,
the yoke has been placed on the necks OF
eighty or ninety thousand Democratic
Voters in Indiana.
The election that created the Legisla-
ture of 1873 gave the Democracy major
ity in the State of / ,14S, electing Thomas
| y. Hendricks Governor, and yet that
Legislature apportioned the State to re
suit in selecting an Assembly with Dem
ocrats-Senators, 20t Representatives
31t Republicans-Senators, 29I; Repre-
3sentatives, ,62i. Republicans themselvesart

GREECE TO HAVE HEARING WHEN BUL.
GARIA is DISCUSSED.
BERLIN, June 26.
The fourth sitting of the Congress be-
gan yesterday at two and closed at five p
IN. Prince Gortschakoff was not present
but received reports every quarter of an
hour and sent written remarks to the
Russian plenipotentiaries.
The Times Berlin correspondent says
the Bulgarian question may be regarded
as solved. There only remain some points
of detail, which, it is believed, will be
settled in the sitting of Wednesday. AT
Tuesdays sitting the French plenipo-
tentiaries, who have been intrusted with
remodelllng the Russian amendments
which England refused to accept on
Monday, reintroduced them in form
acceptable to all parties.
THE FRENCH PLAN
According to the French proposal the
Porte will have full right to occupy the
line between Bulgaria and Roumelia with
whatever number of troops it deems
necessary, but the troops must be eXclu-
sively regulars, and must in no case be
cantoned among the inhabitants or in
the interior The maintenance of order
i'll Roumeha will be intrusted to corps
of gendarmerie.
1t was likewise agreed, ON proposal of
the French plenipotentiaries, that the in
habitants Of Bulgaria and Roumelia shall
enjoy complete civil and religious liberty.
1t was decided, on proposal of England
and Austria, that no change be made in
existing commercial legislation without
consent of the Powers.
The same correspondent states that
Russian occupation is to last nine months
after which three months will be allowed
for withdrawal of the troops. The opin-
ion is gaining ground that the labors of
the principal plenipotentiaries can con-
cluded by the 10th of July.
1t is said that the Greeks have secured
the support of France for a frontier line
from Olympus to Avilona. As the Turks,
however, will not cede Batoum, they are
still less inclined to make such a conces-
sion. The Daily Telegraph's Berlin des-
patch reports, that France, Italy and
Germany, warmly support the Greek
claims for an extension of territory
