A THREAT TO SUE FOR DOODLE

A Boodler Who Insists Upon Having
His Share of the Swag.
The New York Doodle ex-aldermen, now
that there is no longer any fear that they
will be prosecuted, are quarreling over the
division Of the money that was put up to
bride them. The New York Sun says that
the latest novelty in the Doodle business is q
threat by Informer Michael Duffy to sue
John Keenan, for $4,000 Of the Broadway
railroad Doodle alleged to have been en-
trusted to Keenan, for Duffy, and sinfully
withheld from Duffy. Duffy has been in
nan came home rich and happy.
First he was going to furnish the district
attorney with evidence that would enable
that officer to convict Keenan, out of hand.
There were conferences between Duffy and
the district attorneys Office, the result of
which may be inferred from the fact that
the indictments against Keenan, were forth
with dismissed. Now Duffy threatens the
civil suit. He has sworn to affidavits which
are now in the hands of his counsel, Henry
Seldner, in which he declares that keenan,
was appointed distributor of a fund OF
$780, 900, of which $4,000 was to go to each
of fifteen members of the 'S4 board of
Aldermen. Mr.. Duffy declares that he re-
ceived only $4,000 of his share, and it is
the other 100 that he wants Mr.. keenan,
to turn over to him. He declares that he
repeatedly asked for it. but never got it.
The affidavit says nothing about britery,
but describes the money in Keenan's hands
as a trust fund. Lawyer Seldner says that
his client has got good case against Mr..
keenan,, who cannot bring up the defense
that the transaction was an illegal one, be-
cause the court of appeals has decided that
this is not valid defense In al action
brought against stakeholder.
sit will be an easy matter for US to prove
our case" said Mr.. Seldner. "The district
attorney will be called upon by us to testify
that at least $500. 900 was given to Keenan,
to be divided among the members of the
board. Then we can show that Alderman
Duffy got only $4,000 of his SHARE
George Bliss, who has appeared for
Keenan, in times past, had heard nothing of
the projected suit when approached by a
Sun man. He said that such suit would
be absurd
Lawyer Seldner applied to Judge MARITIME
yesterday to have the indictment against
Duffy for bribery quashed on the ground
that Duffy, by turning informer, had rem
dered the people valuable assistance, and on
the further ground of lapse of time Judge
MARITIME refused to entertain the motion
because he was district attorney when the
boodlers were tried. The motion will be
renewed on the first Monday in August
before Recorder Smyth. Mr.. Seldner says
that he is only waiting for the indictment to
be quashed to begin the suit against Keenan,.
Assistant District Attorney Golf said
that no judge would countenance Dufy's
suit because it would be clearly against
public morality and policy. 1t would come
out at the beginning Of the trial that the

WHAT THE CENSUS WILL SHOW.
Whites Increasing Faster than the
Blacks in the South.

Whites Increasing Faster than the
Blacks in the South.
WASHINGTON, July 1S.-It is almost too
early yet to indulge in comments on the
general result Of the census, but it may be
stated that while the rate of in
crease in the northern and Atlantic slope
states has been the same as usual, the West
ern states have increased at an almost fab
ulous rate. OF the Southern states, Ala
bama, Georgia and Texas will show a mar
velous increase of population, but the other
southern states will remain about the same.
In this connection it may be mentioned
that it is very probable that this census will
show that the rate of increase among the
blacks has fallen far behind the rate Of in
crease Of the whites, a fact which Will go
to disprove many of the statements regard
ing the fecundity of the colored race. The
census bureau is now enumerating the re-
turns at the rate of 100000 a day.
As matter of fact, 100000 day are
being counted, because on each day, beside
the 200, 900 Of new names counted, the
1000, 900 counted the previous day are re-
counted to insure absolute accuracy. 1t is
believed that the population Of the United
States will be about 66,000,000 On this
basis it will take at least sixty days. and
possibly seventy, to complete the entire
-
two weeks ago, it is reasonable to believe
that it will be concluded about Sept. l.
The question now suggests itself whether
or not it may be feasible for the present
congress to determine the reapportionment.
The outlook is that it will be distinctly pos
sible to determine the reapportionment at
the present session. There is every pros
poet that congress will be in session until
after Sept. l if the federal election bill is
taken up. In fact, it is known that Mr..
Porter is in almost daily consultation with
the leaders of the Republican party in both
Houses, and that the object of these con-
ferences is to prepare the outline of the
apportlonment bill
Just what the new basis of representa-
ton will be has not yet been determined
but it is likely that there will be an increase
Of at least fifty members in the congress
following the reapportionment. If the
republicans can get this scheme through at
the present session they expect to reap great
advantages from the increase in total repre-
sentation, and this accounts for the apathy
of Reed ct al. for the present slim attendance
of their followers.
When the new bill is ready for introduc-
ton the party whip will be cracked and the
sound of that crack will be heard over the
entire country. Every republican absentee
will be brought back-by force, if necessary,
and the last days of the session will proba-
bly, be notable for the great increase in
attendance. In any event the republicans
expect more from the passage of a reappor-
tionment bill than they do even from the
enactment OF the force bill into law.

A heavy thunder storm passed over
this city about o o'clock Tuesday
evening, aud as n result ut the light

in addition to being disilgured for
life. The victim Is Miss Otelle OFT, n
young German girl ~ years of age.
William OFT, the father of the
girl, lives in the thickest part of
Shantytown. When the storm
came UP his daughter was out
In the yard washing. She started
to enter the house, when u
bolt of lightning struck the south
east corner Of the structure with II
terrific crash, entering the building
and passing around the moldlugs
OF the ceiling, striking the girl, who
was standing In the doorway. badly
distiguring the right side of her
face, besides making an ugly look
ing wound on the side Of her head.
She was thrown 10 the floor in an
unconscious condition.
The mother of the girl was also

was thought that she too had been
struck by the bolt, but fortunately
such was not the case.
Az soon rs the lady recovered her
senses she ran TO the assistance of
her daughter. Some of the neigh
bors who heard and saw the crash
hurried to the senc, and physician
was summoned. II was some time
after his arrival before the girl re-
gained consciousness. In the mean
time corner of the house where
the lightning entered had caught
fire, and this the neighbors hastily
extinguishod. The lightning,
after striking the girl, passed out OF
the house and spent Its force in the
ground.
Late last night REVIEW reporter,
accompanied by Officer Besse, after
much trouble, succeeded In finding
the house, aud found the girl moan
