NEARLY A QUARTER MILLION.
The Population of the District Is
22S, $50.

Supervisor Dingman on Saturday sent to the
Census Office the last schedule of the census
returns for the District The counting of the
returns is now in progress and is practically
completed, but Mr.. Hunt, who has charge Of
this branch of the work, is obliged to
have the count verified before
the official figures can be given out. The off,
cial announcement will probably be made on
Wednesday. In the meantime it will be Of in
terest to know what the unofficial count is.
This has been ascertained and places the total
population of the district at 22S, ,160.
AN INCREASE OF SO, 900.
The total population Of the District in 1880
was l77,62 and the increase during the past
ten years is 50, $50, or 2s.4 per cent This total
for the population may be changed slightly
when the official count is made. 1t will, how
ever, not be material change. "ho increase
in the population may be regarded as healthy
growth.
The percentage of increase is over % per
cent and when it is considered that this is
an increase nearly equal to that of the previous
decade it may be considered Is quite remark
able. Mr.. Hunt says that in settled commu-
mites an increase of 80 per cent in ten years is
very good.
COMPARATIVE STATEMENT.

HIS WIFE TOLD THE TALE.
Radcliffe, the Texarkana Train Robber,
Makes an Indirect Confession.

TExARKANA, ARK, June 2S-Radcliffe. the
wounded train robber who died here on Satur-
day, in his dying moments stated that he was
too weak to talk, but that after his death his
wife would make statement for him. Yester-
day afternoon Mrs. Radcliffe gave
the details Of the whole affair as far
as she knew and she will today
give her story under oath in court. She says
the persons confined in jail Detective Williams,
Napoleon Mcdaniel and John Brown. are the
persons who, with her husband, committed
the robbery; that Radcliffe did the
shooting which disabled the express
agent; that Mcdaniel shot Radcliffe by
mistake, supposing that he was one of
the train men. Mrs. Radcliffe had besought
her husband to have nothing to do with the
robbery, but he refused to follow her advice.
She knew of the plans which were being made,
but was forced to silence. Her evidence and
other developments which are expected will
doubtless cause a sensation in court today.

A DANGEROUS LUNATIC.
Seeking Interviews With Government
Onicials-Sent to the Insane Hospital.

A neatly dressed man, apparently thirty-five
or forty years old, reached this city few days
ago. He said he came from San Francisco and
he spent his time visiting the different depart
ments of the government in his efforts
to secure large amount Of money
that he claims is due him from
the government The police think he
is crank of the Guiteau stripe and that had
he not been apprehended Saturday by Police
man Daley he might have attacked some gov
ernment official During his brief stay in the
city he was quartered at the Soldiers and
Sailors Home, on Missouri avenue between Sd
and AZ streets northwest. He paid several
visits to the departments and was especially
anxious to get an interview with Secretary
Blaine. He also
WANTED TO SEE THE PRESIDENT.
he said, to get him to redeem President Lin
coins pledge to make him lieutenant in the
regular army. His business with Secretary
Blaine was, he said, to see about the refundinR
of q large amount of money that his
foster father paid the governments while
he was q member of the legislature of Illinois.
He paid several visits to the State Department
and being unable to get an interview with
Secretary Blaine he came to the conclusion
that he could not see the Secretary and so he
called on District Attorney Hoge in the City
Hall about O'Clock Saturday afternoon There
he introduced himself as Charles Peter, but
said that he also answered the name
Of Simon Hoy. that being his foster fathers
name. He related the story of his claims
against the government and requested the
issuance of subpenas for Secretary Blaine and
others to appear and show cause WHY his
claims should not be honored.
Policeman Daley Of the second precinct was
sent for and he placed the crazy man under
arrest and locked him up.
"HE Is DANoERous"
The police surgeons examined the prisoner
yesterday and the report made was:
''Dont turn that man loose. He il danrer-
ous"
Upon the report Of the physicians the man
was today sent to St Eiizabeth's Insane Hospi-
tai.
When Peter or Hoy was first srrested and
taken to police headquarters Sanitary Oncer
Frank suggested that he be returned home but
the crazy mans answer was: ..I'il 20 nowhere.
