piles of wood were heapcd around the
structures. and when the flames were at
their height water was thrown on the
heated stone. But the old builders had not
labored in vain. and the work Of their hands
resisted both water and flame. Scarcely Il
crack appears in the walls. and in many
cases even tho paintings on the interior
walls are unin Jured. More effective were
the efforts of the Mosems when TIE Pagan
temples were built of brick or of stone laid
in courses. Then they could uull down, and
did so with n vengeance. In Delhi is shown

temples torn down for the sake OF the stones

tectural failure. for the MOslems simply
piled the stones together without regard to

ALL THIS AND MUCH MORE In n
NDAY'S WORL =. "
Many Impending Surprises, when
the Final Figures Are Published.

Supervisor Murray. at the census Office.
1875 Eighth street. stated that all the dis
tricts in this city had been completed by the
enumerators, with the exception OF on.
From the data in his possession, Mr..
Murray places his estimate of the population
Of New York at i.O2T, 227.
When the full figures of the census in this
city are made public, Mr.. Murray said. there
would be many surprises, especially in tho
business statistics.
In the face of the assertions OF the census
authorities that the work OF enumersting
the population OF New York has been care
fully and thoroughly done. tho volume of
complaints from unenumerated families
shows little %diminution. The following is q
list OF complaints received at The WoRLD
Office since yesterdays list was published:

Strenuous efforts and heated language are
employed by tho authorities TO controvert
the statements OF these and hundreds OF
others that the census men have skipped
them, but the fact remains. and the public
is thoroughly convinced that 10 gross md
utterly inexcusable a statistical outrage was
never before known in our history.
Said II prominent downtown merchant.
who Ia himself rather Q crank on the subject
Of statisti,s:
The demonstrating in New York has dis
played SO much carelessness. inaccuracy and
stupidity that its totals will possess abso-
lutoly no STATISTICAL ~yalne."
By supervisor Murray's orders several dis
trlcts have been gone over q second time.
and many gross inaccuracies have thus been
remedIed.
According to tho glowing Anticipations of
supervisor Murray, census-taking in the
connt is practically closed now. and tho
above announcement ia made OF the aggre-
gate population OF this big city.
SrpSryiSSr Murray Was yery busy his
trlcts already In. He told an EVENING
WORLD reporter that there were this morn
ing only about twenty-five outstanding dis
completed this afternoon.
MIR. Murray is much elated over the
conclusion OF the work, and thinks
he has earned q good rest in the country.
He received in this mornings mail ten
from persons who aver that they
not been visited by the enumerRtor.
