A. c. Holbert, Esq, census enumerator for
this borough, has completed his labors. He
has been granted permission by Supt Denny
to give to the newspapers of the county for
publication an approximate estimate of the
population of this borough, and he assures
us that it is between 1904 and 1903. This is
an increase of 500 over the census of 1880, or
about AZ per cent. We would urge the
enumerators of the different districts in the
county to secure permission from the Super
intendent to give TO the newspapers for pub
lication the population of their districts In
this way the total population Of the county
can be asceriained much earlier than it will
be officially announced by the census de-
partment.

The latest theory concerning Bright's dis
ease and other affections Of the kidneys, is
that they are due to the immoderate use OF
ice water and other chilled beverages. Thirty
or forty years ago, physician asserts, when
people slaked their thirst with fresh water
from well or pump kidney disease was vir-
tually unknown. Now, however, the gener-
al use Of ice in every household and saloon
and the multiplication Of soda fountains,
cause thousands OF persons to abruptly
shock their heated internal organs with
freezing draughts, and kidney troubles are
prevalent.

One of the sullIvan Gang.

Jacob Atkinson, paymaster of the H. C.
Frick Company at the Wynn Coke Works,
left Uniontown on the 1892 train Thursday
with 81 600 in his pocket He arrived at the
works at 1890. The men were congregated
about the paymaster's office waiting for
their two-weeks' salary, but were not near
the paymaster's window. Atkinson was
counting the money, and had most of it
placed in envelopes, which each man was to
receive. He was busy and did not notice a
smooih-faced young man approaching the
window, until the words Hands upr' were
uttered and 3S-calibre bulldog revolver
confronted him.
The cool young man at the window, tax
ing advantage of the situation, with his re-
volver in his left hand, showed the other into
the window and secured the pay envelopes
containing the amount named above With
the revolver still in his hand he backed
slowly from the window and just as he was
ready to run into the bushes beyond, be saw
that the paymaster was about to call for aid,
and, without a moments warning, TIE rob-
Der pulled the trigger and sent bullet
through the front window. Another was
sent after the first, and Atkinson barely
escaped death by dodging to the ground.
The robber was not captured.

UNIoNTowS, Pa, June 2s.-Perry Donald
son, the young desperate who robbed Jacob
Atkinson, paymaster of the II. C. Friek coke
works, of 81 .1G0 on Thursday, has not yet
been captured. The mule he stole from
Walter Longhead and which it is supposed
he rode into West Virginia and escaped on
the night after the robbery, was to-day found
on top Of Chestnut Ridge making its way
back home. Young Donaldson has for the
past year been lover of Nett Sullivan,
the handsome young girl who figured so
conspicuously in the operations of the noto-
rious Sullivan gang, whose nefarious doings
some two years ago created such widespread
CONSERVATION on account of its daring acts
of robbery and feet burning in this county.
1t is claimed here on good authority that
Donaldson was u member of the gang, and
got his training with it in connection with
his longing to be hero of the James type,
brought about by reading yellow-backed
literature
