A Curl0ua SUIT.

PHILADELPHIA, PA. Aug. L.
The most peculiar suit for damages
that has yet been brought 10 the
courts of Philadelphia, came up
today. A baby hardly able TO
talk sued for thousands on the
ground of Injuries inflicted before
he was born.
The plaintiff Is James Jones, Jr.,
who by his next friend James
Jones brings suit against the
Second and Third streets passen-
gers railway company to recover
$50, 900 damages.
On November %, 1887, the moth
er, Mary Jones, took passage on
one of the company's ears and 1t IS
charged that through the negli.
geuce OF the company, the car was
brought into violent collision With
a cart or some other object along
or upon Richmond street, whereby
the plaintiff was violently injured
and suffered great hurt.
By reason of which his spine,
back aud nervous system have
been impaired and he is "subJect
to fits caused by intolerable pain
and anguish and great loss and
damage by reason of the serious
and permanently weakened and IN
iured condition of his physical
and nervous system"

WE ARE 64,000,000.
THAT rs THE POPULATION, AC-
CORDING TO MR.. PORTER'S
ESTIMATE.

WASHINGTON, August 12.-Bv
the end of the present month
Superintendent Porter expects that
the work of counting the pOpula
tion of the country, as shown by
the census enumeration schedules,
will have been completed. Already
the count has reached fifty millions,
and according 10 Mr.. Porter's estl.
mate there are about fourteen nil
lions more to be counted, which
will make the total population of
the country about sixty'fOur mil
lions. This work is being zone as
rapidly as nlmble fingers of young
ladies can glide oyer the keys of
the electric counting machines.
When this count is finished then
there must be comparisons made,
the results verified and errors cor
rected before the final official re.
suit Of the count can be given out.
The census officials assure Mr..
Porter that the verilicatiOn can be
completed IN ten days. Mr.. Porter
does not dOubtIt, but allows twenty
DAYS. Even then the result can
be announced by September l, and
Congress, if il desires, can proceed
to pass an appOrtionment bill and
determine how many members shall
constitute the next House.
THE WORK OF TABULATION.
When the population OF the coun.
try is determined the real work Of
the census office will begin, as then
the tabulation Of the census seized
ules will be entered upon. Every
person was required to answer in
the census schedules certain num-
Der of questions as to sex, color,
age, nativity, occupation, &c. All
this information to be of any ser
vice must be classified and arrang
ed so that it will be possible to
know how many white and how
many colOred, how many women
and how many men, &c, are In the
country at large or in each State.
THE ELECTRIC COUNTERS.
This work is to be done by e'ec.
trio machines which record these
facts on little dials, each class OF
facts having a separate dial. lie.
fore. however, this machine is used
Manila cards about the size OF a
postal card are perforated with
holes by a machine which Is Op-
Grated much like a typewriter
that IS, as far as the key board is
concerned. AS these cards are OF
exactly the same shape and size
the nOles punched in always oc-
cupy the same relative place in
each card. The holes are therefore
used as symbols for certain facts.
One hole means that the person
enumerated is white, another that
he is married, a third that he is
foreign born, and so on through
the eDtire class of facts as recorded
on the schedules. When the card
IS showed 10 the tabulatlng machine
a square metal plate with its under
surface filled with projecting nee
dies is brought down on the card.
The needles over the holes go
through and, establishing an cleo
trio current, the hand on certain
dials are moved and record the
facts which the hole in the card
stand for. In this way the tabu
lation Of great mass of facts IS
expected to be done not only rapid
ly but accurately.
