THE CENSUS CLERKS
Present Their Claims 10 the ApprO-
DriatiOn Committee.

The committee Of census clerks recently ap-
pointed at the meeting at Tallmadge Hall
appeared before the House Committee on
Appropriations to-day TO urge their claims TO
extra compensation.
Rev. j. IL. Bradford, chairman of the clerks
committee, addressed the Appropriation Com
mittee and gave reasons why the clerks were
stantially as follows:
First-'The United States can afford TO pay
20 per cent. on the salaries paid while the
clerks were volunteers because of the loss 20
tho Government II the ONCE had been closed

have been put OF eight months, and also be-
cause they earned the money.
SecOnd-Ihs precedonts in the case are the
persons who voiunteered for the cure OF the
President who have already been provided for

Thlrd-Loss by reason OF discounts TO brok-
ers and bankers. The recent act Is practically
useless. FOR the clerks cannot 20 back on their
private bargains.
Fourth-Loss by reason OF lack OF protec'
ton.
Fifth--Ioss by reason Of failure TO settle up
charge.
Sixth-The customary months pay ON dis
charge or completion of census not given Tor
lack OF funds.
seventh-rhe fact that Census clerks get
lower wages than the same grade In any other

A Madmau,s Terrible Deed.

Michael McCatirie, aged 80, of Water
bury Vermont, while insane on Sunday
last butcbered his wife and aged mother
and hid the bodies in the cellar of his house.
Going to town with his seven chill
dren yesterday, the eldest gave the first
intimation of the terrible murder. Me-
Caffrie who is in Jail, talks incessantly.
Some doubt his insanity, but every indica-
tion points TO his being demented. He
stated that whatever he had done he
thought he did right that he fought the
women in self-defense that they got hold
of him but he made hot work for them ;"
that he took them by their throats aud
killed them with knife aud threw them
down the cellar. The two youngest chill
dren of the seven are twins and are year
old. Since the murder McCafirie has fed
the two younger children with the aid of
the two oldest, aged II and 8, and did the
chores, etc, of the house until to-day,
when he brought the children to Wafer
bury Centre. The murder was commit
ted in large room where all the parties
slept, and the old lady, who was blind, had
one of the twins in her arms when she was
killed. The neighbors who have seen Nc
CaGTrey recently had not noticed any symp-
toms of finsanity about him. He Went to
church with tho whole family two weeks
ago.

A Very serious Matter.

Come days ago the yaccinating physicians
went around and, visiting all the engine
houses, yacclnated all the tiremen the same
day. Naturally, this had a bad result. Nearly
all the men are now indisposed, and at the
house Of truck ID IL f. reported that two men
are dangerously i'll. One man is, in fact, re-
ported dying. His arm has swelled beyond
all reasonable proportions from poisoned
virus. This state OF affairs needs the tmme-
