THE CENSUS.

The Rough Count Practically Completed.
and will Show a Total Population APP
proximatiDg 64,O0O,O00 - An Increase
for the Decade of About Thirty Per
Cent.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 17.-The count of
the population of the United States was
practically completed yesterday by the
Census-Office. Of forty-three thousand
odd enumeration districts in to which the
country was divided, the returns from
all but one hundred have been received
and counted. AS fast as the returns are
received Of the districts still out they
will be counted and added to the total.
The result of the count as at present
completed shows population Of o.
COS, 955, and when the entire count is
finished, the population of the coun-
try will be, as Mr.. Porter estimated,
about sixty-four millions. This will be
an increase shown during the past de-
cade of about thirty per cent, which is
about equal to the percentage Of in
crease Of the period from 1870 to 1880.
Tomorrow the entire force of the
Census Office now comprising about nine

one bureau. The object is to concentrate
the whole working force Of the office
on the accounts Of the fifty thousand
enumerators, so that they can be set
tied rapidly and the enumerators DO
paid off.
During this period while the general
work of the office is practically sus-
pended, superintendent Porter will be
at Deer Park, where his family is
spending the summer. He intends be-
fore his return to prepare his annual
report of what has been accomplished
during the year ended June 80. He will
also make a special report on re
counts" and will state that Of the cities
and towns, nearly fifty in number
which have asked for recounts, there
have been only four or five cases where
it was found that facts would justify
such action. Mr. Porter will announce
as his conclusion that the vast majority
Of these recounts were prompted by
motives of local pride and jealousy OF
rival cities.

TRAIN ROBBERS AGAIN.

hobbers' Gut" on the Missouri Pacific,
near ottsrviiie, Mo, Again the Scene
OF "Hotd Up"-The Pacific Express
Gar Robbed by Masked Men The
Amount of Booty Not Yet Known, but
Report Places it as High as 100000
The Robbers Unknown.
KANSAS CITY, Mo-, Aug. 1s.-The
safe of the Pacific Express Company
was robbed of 100000 by train robbers
on the Missouri Pacificr ailroad yester
day morning. The train, which was
the Kansas City limited express, No, 3,
left Upton, Mo-, at about 3 a. ul. Two
mysterious figures were seen by the
engineer lurking around the forward
end OF the train, but no particular at
tention was paid to them. just after
leaving Upton, the fireman turned
toward the tender to fire up the engine
and looked squarely into the nauzzles Of
two reVolvers in the hands of two
masked men who were lying on their
faces on the coal. One Of the bandits
covered the fireman with his revolver
while the other took care of the en-
gineer. They were told to laid up their
hands and the engineer was ordered tc
run the train to Otterville water tank,
in Robbers Cut" just east of Otter
Vile
When Robbers CUT was reached
the engineer was commanded to go to
the express car and tell the messenger
to open the door. He did SO under
threats of his life should he fail. When
he reached the express car he found
the two robbers had five confederates
stationed at convenient places about
the car, all heavily armed and their
faces concealed behind masks. He
walked to the door of the express car
Sam Avery, to open the door. Avery,
suspecting no danger, pushed back the
door. AS he did so, the leader of the
robbers and one confederate pushed
reyolyers in and ordered the messen-
ger to hold up his hands. The order
was promptly obeyed, and three of the
robbers jumped into the car. Avery
was commanded to open the safe, and
at the point of revolver did SO. One
Of the robbers unfolded sack, and into
it were placed the entire contents of
the safe. The robbers then made their
escape without attempting to molest
the passengers.
The engineer pulled the train into
Otterville, half mile distant, where a
part of the crew were left to arouse the
sheriff and organize posse to pursue
the robbers. The news Of the robbery
was also telegraphed to the headquar-
ters at st. Louis, and all the available
detective force of the road were sent to
Robbers Cut" The sheriff's posse and
the detectives are now securing the
country for the robbers.
The exact amount of money and val
uables stolen can not be learned, but it
is understood the money in the safe ag-
gregated about SIS, 900, mostly in paper
money, and that the other valuable
property amounted to about SIS, 900.
The robbers are unknown.
