Population of Louisville.

LOUISVILLE, KY, Feb. 25.-The annual d.
rectory for 1882, made its appearance to-day.
In regard to the population of the city, the
publishers says: The number of names ap-
pearing in this years directory is; $1,000,
against 54,90l in 1881, the increase being
1929. Taking 2H as the multiple, and this
is the lowest multlplier used by any publisher
known to the writer, 81 being the one most
commonly used, our increase in population
during the year is 5,747, and giving us pop
ulation of $4,000. Of this estimate the
Courier Journal says: We think Mr.. G. X.
Caron, the directory compiler, is too conserva-
tive in his selection of a multipller. Taking
the figure 3, which is below the average used,
it would give lis total population in round
figures of 1000 We do not regard this es.
innate too high, for we have a large popula.
ton, living all around the three sides of our
city just outside the corporate limits of the
city, but whose names appear IN the directory.

MILwAUKEE's SENSATION.

and He Suicides.

Especial Telegram to the Globe.]
MILWAUKEE, Feb. 15.-Last night society
circles were agitated and startled by the arrest
of Joseph w. Curtis. private secretary and
confidential clerk of F. N. Flnney, the gen
eral manager of the Wisconsin Central rail
way, and the widest rumors as to the cause
of the arrest were Immediately circulatedleIl
was finally ascertained that Curtis, who is q
married mai with two children, was arrested
on charge of abandoning a child, crime
that is punishable under the statutes by i'm
prisonment of from one to three years.
| On Wednesday evening bundle containing
baby was placed in Car of the Milwaukee,
Lake Shore Il Western railway on a seat Occll.
pied by an old lady. Detectives have been
working on the case since that time and sue
ceeded in collecting sufficient evidence to war
rant the arrest of Curtis. The first clue OBJ
tanned was from a hack driver who
conveyed on the evening in question lady
and gentleman, the latter carrying two
bundles, from house on Fifth street to the
Union depot. The lady departed on one of the
trains of the Chicago, Milwaukee & st. Paul
road, and the gentleman carrying the two
bundles disappeared. Two bundles, one con-
tanning the body, were afterwards discovered
In one of the cars on the morning train of the
Lake Shore road.
Further inquiry at the house on Fifth street
occupied by Mrs. Stillberg, developed the
fact that a gentleman answering the descrip-
ton of Curtis appeared there about month
ago with young girl who gave her name as
Lizzie Becker, of Manitowoc, agreeing to pay
her board and lodging and all expenses if she
should happen to be confined. This
occurred weeks ago and the baby,
it is claimed, is the same
found in the cars Wednesday evening. The
same gentleman took the girl and the baby
away IN hack. Detective Struberg took the
woman Stallberger to Curtis Office yesterday
afternoon, and the woman who had already
identified the baby and the clothing contained
in the second bundle at once recognized Cur
tbs as the man who brought the girl to the
house ard subsequently took her away.
The mother of the baby, Lizzie Becker, has
been employed for the last two years and
half as servant girl in the family of Curtis.
Curtis strenuously denied the whole matter
and said it was scheme to blackmail him.
This morning, however, when the matter was
published in the Sentinel, lie changed his
front. lie went to his home and attempted
suicide by swallowing an ounce
of laudanum and there lying on
bed sent a bullet crashing through his head.
He fingered in great agony until this evening,
when he died. The matter IS the most startling
sensation, as Curtis was prominent church
member and member of a leading family.

General Capital Eeios.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 25.-Emery Storrs, OF
Chicago, argued to-day in the interest of the
Western railroads before the Interstate com
merce committee Further consideration was
postponed till March A. He pointed out that
Regan's bill would discriminate against some
roads, notably the Pennsylvania, and would
favor the New York Central by the peculiar
provisions of the bill. A shipper in Chicago
could ship by water from Chicago to Buffalo
a cargo of grain which could be sold in Buffa.
10 and Immediately shipped by the New York
Central to New York, neither the railroad nor
water transportation being affected by Regan's
bill. He criticised the disposition evinced by
congress to make annual raids upon railroads.
1t encouraged venality in the state legisla-
lures.
