Some Curious Statistics From the q.
8. CeMAuS.

A careful study OF the census of 1880
brings out some startling facts, in regard
to the relative amount of intemperance
in the Northern and Southern States.
In 1880 there was population of 32,-
564, 119 in the Northern States and in
these same States there were 57,194
saloons, making one saloon to every 569
persons, while in the thirteen Southern
States with population of 16,s04, ,476
there were 1O,O63 saloons, making one
saloon for every $3.50 persons.
In 1880 there was Negro population
Of 1888, 459 in the Southern States and
in these States there were 12.676 Negroes
in the penitentiary which is one in every
44S persons.
In the Northern States there was a
population of S32, ,3s1 Negroes and 1926
of them were in the penitentiary, which
is one to every 1876 of the population.
These facts can be summarized as fol-
lows:
Negroes in the South 5,6S3.459
Negroes in the North .............. s32, 1881
in the South. ...........1 / to every 44S persons
Negroes in penitentiaries
in the North .........1 to every 1875 persons
If these proportions were reversed,
there are some who would say that it was
the result of the cruelty and bloodthirsti-
ness OF the Southern people and of the
reign of the Southern brigadier.
The census Of 1880 gives US some inter.
esting facts in regard to pauperism. The
following table gives the facts in regard
to the number of "outdoor" paupers,
that is, those paupers who beg from door
to door:
Popula. Outdoor
ton. Paupers.

Pennsylvsnia. A, ,2S2 ,7s4 2,4S9 to every 1,72O
Florida, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, South
Carolina, Tennessee and Texas.
This table tells us of the "out.door''
paupers, or ordinary street beggars. The
table following gives the number of pau
pers both in the almshouses and those
denominated "out-door" paupers;
Los Angeles daily herald., 1888-10-12

Pennsylvania, with total population Of
4,2S2, 1856, has twelve more paupers than
twelve of the Southern States, with a
population of 5,l55,76S. Pennsylvania
and Maine have 1887 paupers, which is
], ,l64 more than all the paupers in the
entire Southern States.
The article was not intended to have
any political significance, yet We cannot
help asking ourselves why it is, that in
the high protective State of Maine, there
is one pauper in every POS of its popula-
ton, while in the Southern States there
is only one pauper for every 1,143 of its
population.
Again, the thought forced itself upon
us why is it, that Pennsylvania, State
on which protection has done it's best
should have more paupers than twelve o
the Southern States combined.

A Murdered Man Comes Into Court.

Special to the Times-Democrat
Bonham Tex, March 16.-The dis
trict courtroom was filed with crowd
of curiousspectators to-day to hear the
evidence in a sensational murder trial
II was that of Jim Scarlet, charged with
killing Andy Lacefield in 1885. AT the
last term of the district court Scarlett
was sentenced to hang but, owing to a
tecenicality in rendering the verdict, he
succeeded in gaining new hearing.
The murder with which Scarlett is
charged was committed in Red River,
in the northern part of the county.
Scarlet and Laceiield had been engaged
in running a whisky boat on the river.
They had difficulty, but were separa-
ted. Scarlett came upon Lacolield sit
ting upon the river bank. Creeping
up close to his victim, he shot him in
the head. After shooting Lacolield,
to make sure that that he was dead,
Scarlet pounded him on the head with
his pistol and threw his body into the
river. Scarlet fled and was not ap-
pretended until six months ago.
The strangest part of the story
came out several months ago. Soon
after Scarlett's first trial a man was
found in the Southern part the coun-
ty who claimed to be Andy Laceficld,
the person whom Scarlett was charged
with killing. His story is that when
thrown into the river he revived and
succeeded in getting out of the water
and more dead than alive, made his wa!
to a friends house, where after many
weeks of lingering illness he recovered
and left the country. lie had heart
of the trial Of Scarlet. When asked
why he did not appear and stop th'
proceedings he stated that he did no
care if Scarlet was hung. Lacellelt
to-day testified substantially to th'
: above story and was identified by sev
eral witnesses as the man whom Scar
lett is charged with numbering. II

this bill, on the latter part, a little

of the presiding officers named were

The great storm.

We are indebted TO Mr., l. WiIczin-
skifor papers containing accounts Of
the recent phenomenal storm which
swept over New York.
n. Y. Worldl
Not a railway train moved in or out
Of New York City yesterday. Not a
mail was sent or received. Only few
telegraphic messages were transmitted.
To all intents and purposes New York
was as effectively cut Off from the outer
world as if located in the middle Of
the Atlantic Ocean. The Pennsylvania
Railway had four thousand men en-
gagged last night shoYelling snow from
its tracks and hoped to send train
through 10 Philadelphia. The New
York Central may not be able to move
trains before-to-morrow Already the
effect Of the embargo is being felt
among our victuallers. The supply of
milk in the city viii be exhausted today.
Fresh meat and vegetables win be
scarce by tomorrow night. The cat
tie in the snow-blocked trains will not
be fit for consumption when they reach
here. As matter of fact New York
is seldom proyisioned beyond forty
eight hours and we have received no
supplies since Saturday last. Even
yesterday there was activity in the mat
ter Of canned goods in restaurant and
hotel circles. The Weather Bureau
does not promise an early thaw, and
altogether the outlook for household
ers is not pleasant. II win be a week
at least before New York can be said
to be itself again.

cial has been treasurer for twenty-one
years. lie was considered the soul OF
honor, and the news viii produce a

thought Tate's shortage will amount to

states that the investigation immedi
