country part Of the District, yet for census
purposes il is not so included. However, the
returns shovi n gratifying increase in the
population. An average yearly addition OF
0oocd sonlsite the number of the residents Of
any city hI meta bad record. During the ten
years since 1880 the addition to the popula-
ton has been more than $4,000 persons, aud
this increase would be sufficient to start one OF
two towns, where the residents would no
doubt consider that they lived in places Of con-
siderable importance. In other respects,
besides mere numbers, the city has made great
progress during the past decade. The records
OF the building inspectors office show that
since 1880 yearly average Of $500
new dwelling houses have been built in this
District For the past five years the yearly
average has reached 1900 dwelling houses.
while great number of apartment house,
hotels. stores and other buildings have been
erected. Since 1880 over Is, 900 dwelling houses
have been built in the District. The increase
in the assessed valuation Of property is another
indication that the city has not slept during
the past decade. Assessor Trimble finds from
his books that in 1880 the assessed valuation of
the taxable ground and improvements in the
District was about SS9, 900, 600. The valuation
of the property in 1890. including an estimated
valuation of the improvements made in the
county. is in round numbers Sl42, zoo. 900.
These figures show an increase in the assessed
valuation of property in the District since 1880
Of 90 per cent.

UNIONTOWN'S SENSATION.
The Man Who Robbed Paymaster At
kinson Of 81 200 Still at Liberty.

The daring robbery Of Psymaster Atkinson
at the Wynn Works. Uniontown, Pa, Thursday,
has caused the biggest sensation the coke
region has had in the way Of crime since the
Sullivan gang held up and robbed Superln-
tendent Paisley Of the Beeson Works OF $4,000
a dozen years ago. The astounding feature
that everybody is talking about is the fact that
the robbery was committed in midday by a
slender and unaided stripping. while dozens of
men were within a stones throw, and vet the
fellow escaped through a cleared space of
nearly mile before he passed safely into the
mountain brush.
Walter Loughead of Oliphant found one Of
his mules had disappeared and it was learned
that Donaldson, the alleged robber, had VEN
tured back to his home at Oliphant, having
been seen by different parties who did not then
know of the robbery. 1t is supposed he lett
part Of the $1,000 with local confederates and
rode the mule into West Virginia, where he has
relatives about Bruceton. Suspicion rests on
several parties, and search warrants were taken
ont on which one or two houses will be
searched.

Chicagoans who have been sweltering under
boiling sun for just one week never watched

one that crept out Of the northern horizon yes

had been appalling, men and horses falling
dead in the streets from its effects. Over in
the west division the thermometer marked Sc

wagons were kept from morning until night
moving the victims to hospitals. Down town
where the heat OF sun and pavement was con-
fined to narrow area the suffering was in
tense. About o'clock a gray cloud sprang
out OF the northern horizon, and moving lazily
toward the city, with an accompaniment OF
thunder and lightning, emptied nearly an inch
OF water upon the sweltering buildings.
Then the cloud went away and within half
an hour the heat became more appalling than
before. When the sun went down the Their

PROTESTING AGAINST 1T.
Democratic Representatives Attack the
Election Bill - q Partisan Measure.

A formal protest has been prepared by the
northern democratic members Of the House
against the pending national election bill,
which they style an extraordinary, dangerous
and revolutionary measure.
The protest continues: Under q doubtful
construction Of the Constitution, this bill pro-
poses 70 substantially take from the states and
local authorities control Of all elections at
which members Of Congress are balloted for,
and hand the same over to United States judges
appointed to ONCE for life, and chief supervis-
ofs Of elections
If the power claimed resides in the Consti-
tahon, which We deny, the republic has gone
through the difficulties Of the formative period,
made heroic struggle against dissolution, tri-
umphed and successfully readjusted itself to
changed conditions without the exercise of such
power by the federal government for one hun
fathers OF the republic would have considered
such proposition as this as dangerous as an
open attempt at Capitalization"
Ihe bill Is then attacked as purely par an
measure, intended to control the election In
the south in way at utter variance from the
principles of home rule The protest SAYS:
Ito carry on this scheme Of imperial gov =
eminent millions OF dollars will be taxed from
our people and the judiciary of the United
States prostituted to the basest partisanship in
s'S mahaBeIieut OI electlOus. ana these ln-
vasions of the liberties Of our people will De
left for safety to partisan juries In the federal
courts, composed entirely OF the men of the
party in power"
In closing the protest says: I'm view Of the
great danger to the rights and liberties of the
people and to the principle of local self-gov-
eminent involved in this bill We respectfully
appeal to American freemen, without regard to
party, to enter timely protest by way of pub
TIC Meeting or otherwise against this consolida-
ton OF government, the destruction of popular
rights and the very foundation Of American
liberty, for we indulge no mere rhetorical
flourish when we solemnly affirm ON our 10y
atty as citizens, and on our honor as Represen-
tatives, that this vicious and unpatriotic meas
ure Is most serious menace to the very life of
the republic. The issue is, shall IA political
party elect itself and keep in power by paid
agents who are TO control the political cleo
tions in all the statesg"
