Striking and Working cloak Makers

In Now Xork's Chief Thorough are.
New York, July ga crowd of
about 200 striking cloak makers
gathered on Broadway between
Leonard and White streets this
morning at the hour when the hands
IN the Meyer & Jannassen shops at
334 and the Mercantile Cloak Com
pany's place at 1874 Broadway were
gong to work. These firms are two
OF the largest in the trade and are
battling In the front row of the EN-
ployers' Association against the strik-
ers demands. When their employ

effort to enter the shops were seized
and hustled away by force. In a few
minutes Broadway for two blocks
was the scene of O dozen running
fights. For short time the strikers
had it their own way but soon the
assailed men pluckily fought back.
AS a consequence damaged heads
among the strikers were plentiful.
The working cloak makers, however,
generally got the worst of it. Around
Meyer q Janassen's shops the war
ragged the most fercely. A dozen
strikers caught Charles Butler, stock
clerk, and dragged him backward off
the steps and maltreated him.

Quincy was set upon and SO badly
beaten that he had to be driven home
in a cab.
William Wisner, another operator,
received several scalp wounds. He
S~as takon TO the Chambers Street
hospital for treatment. Neither pis-
tolls nor knives were used in the
melee, the only weapons being firsts
and dubbed umbrellas.
When the police arrived in force
they had no difficulty in dispensing
the mob. They used their clubs
freely. Mr.. Moorcroft, of the cloak
firm, said he had idea that violence
would be used. He had supplied the
places of the strikers, he said, and
work was progressing as usual.

machines That Beat the Human Brain in
Computing Returns
WASHINGTON, July 1O.-Nice-looking
girls in clean, white aprons are the
busy hands in q machine shop on the
third floor of Ninth street building.
Wofk essas31sy 2}1IiSAau. and tba.s1sls,
machihsss n Z s q hear human
intelligence ID Comp mphting the returns
sent from all sections of this big
country for the census of 1890. At
first glance the machines remind one
of an upright piano. They have hand
some oak cases and each one occu-
pies about the same space O piano
does. They are, however, eminently
practical machines, and with their
aid some fifteen young ladies can
count accurately 100000 names q
day. It is expected that when the
work of counting the census returns
really begins there will be seventy or
eighty of these machines at work.
The returns from the census dis
tricts throughout the country are
coming in slowly. There are more
than $4,000 of these districts, and so
far only about $500 districts have
sent in the returns. Ae fast as the
returns come in they are counted, al.
though not as rapidly as they will be,
as it is necessary to train the young
ladies in the use of the machines. In
making this count, which is known as
the "rough count" the returns for
each district are counted twice. After
being counted on one machine they
are passed over to another, and when
the latter count is completed the two
are compared, and if there are dis
crepancies necessary corrections are
made. Following this method, if the
total population of the county is
60,0O0,0O there will be counted in
the census Office an equivalent to
120, 900, 900 names.
The machines, which are the inven-
tion of Mr.. Hollerith, and supplement
his tabulating machines, are very
simple. A key board, resembling
that of q typewriter, is at the right
of the operator. Each key has q
number from one to twenty. The
operator has pile of census sched.
ules at her left aide, and, as she turns
tho schedules over, she notes the
figures which indicate the number ot
members in each family enumerated
in that schedule. If there are five in
q family she strikes the key marked
five. When a key is struck an elec.
trio connection is established with
the hands on dial in the frame work
in front of the operator.
That dial is marked No. 8, whict
means it records the number of fami
lies consisting of five persons. Each
time the No key is struck No. 8 dial
records one. When tho count il
completed the recorded number OF
each dial is multiplied by the mum
ber of the dial, the results added VI
and the total number Of individuals
in that district is ascertained. If thu
result is obtained by q different oper
ator, then it is concluded that tn,
count is correct. It is expected tina
by the use of these machines the re
suits of the census will be known
much sooner than by any other know,
method.

WRECKED AMONG PIRATES.
The Thrilling Adventures Of an American
Grow.

The Thrilling Adventures of an American
| Grow.
Charles Stuhr, lately steward of
the schooner Gellert, who arrived i'm
enls port on the steamship Clyde last
saturday, brought news of the wreck
OF that vessel on the reefs of the is
land OF Catallnita, in the Caribbean
sea, April 21; of the attack of pirates
and wreckers, of rescue by passing
trader and of the mutinous conduct
of the crew.
The Gellert, Capt. A. G. Long,
sailed from this port Santo Domingo
and the San Bias cost with a mixed
cargo and carrying q deck load of
lumber. A tornado struck the
schooner when past the Isle of Pines
and made things lively for two days.
but the vessel, still unmanageable
was thrown by the surf on the inner
reef surrounding Catalinita Island at
dawn of April 81.
The schooner struck between two
rocks and was firmly held. The
crew, regardless of discipline, man
ned the long boat and went ashore
deserving the captain, the mate and
steward
They collected some flour and bis
cult and when the sea went down
went ashore in the dory. The sal
lors had found neither food nor wa
ter and welcomed the provisions. A
camp was made.
That same night three stark naked
natives, armed with swords and pis-
tolls, appeared. After some parley
they went away to get help to loot
the vessel. The crew, already much
exhausted, were frightened, and at
daybreak LAUGHED the long boat and
went out to the vessel, but were un-
able to reach her. While trying, a
native coaster appeared and num-
ber of armed men put off in small
boat for the Gellert The firmness
of Capt. Long and the mate, backed
by pair of pistols, kept them off.
The savages went ashore, stole the
dory and the clothes of the wrecked
sailors and went back to their YES
sell
The captain and mate, by jumping
and swimming from rock to rock, cot
out on board of the Gellert safely.
Wreckers, who We're meanwhile flock
ing to the shore, failing to entice
the sailors ashore, threatened to kill
them and began building RATS Then
too,- the pirates from the coaster
made another attempt to board the
schooner, bat the captain and mate
made good fight. The sailors,
thinking, as they say, that both were
killed, put out to sea.
They were at sea on their oars for
trader from Santo Domingo aha IL Cur
ed for. When the captain heard
their story he straightway changed
his course and went to the wreck.
There they found the captain and
mate alive, who had driven off the
pirates, wourding several. The two
captains decided to transfer the
whole or part of the cargo to the
trader and take it to Santo Domingo,
$50 miles away, but the crew of the
Gellert refused to work, claiming
that their pay stopped when the
schooner was wrecked. They said
the captain had no authority over
them, and that they were too sick to
work anyway. Threats of shooting
did not bulge them, so the cargo
was left on the wrecked vessel and
the trader with the Gillerts crew,
sailed for Santo Domingo.
At that port Capt. Long charged
his crew with mutiny, and the men
were tried before the British consul
and acquitted.-New York Herald.

Heat Of the Moon.

A problem Of great interest in physics
and astronomy, on which Tyndall, Lord
Roose and Professor Langley labored In
vain, has been solved, and trustworthy
evidence at last been obtained as to the
thermal value of moonlight. This has
been accomplished by Mr.. 9. v. Boys,
ono of the professors at South Kensing-
ton, who, by means of his quartz fila
ments has produced q thermopile of al
most Incredible delicacy. By this ap-
paratus he can render sensible the heat
of candle up to the distance of mile
and three-quarters, and by directing the
minute disk of the instrument to the
moon he has shown that the warmth re-
ceived from its reflected light is equal to
that given out by candle at twenty-one
feet distance. The result accords with
the anticipations Of Professor Piazzi
Smyth. Observations seems to show that,
although the moons face Is under the
blaze Of an unclouded sun for fourteen
days, it remains comparatively cool, and
that whatever heating it does ultimately
receive is rapidly gained and as rapidly
lost.-London Standard.

Apropos OF the recent gerryman ders
and talk OF gerrymanders in Congressional
districts In several States, Mr.. Walter @.
Hamm contributes an article to the Forum
for July, in which he reviews the most
striking instances OF gerrymandering made
by each of the political parties. He ex.
plains In detail, bow a minority in State
is in many cases practically deprived Of
representation in Congress 10 consequence
OF the manipulation of districts. Drawing
the balance sheet OF the sins OF the two
parties in this practice, Mr.. Hamm finds
that, la spite OF the tortured districts 10
some Of the Republican States, the mar
velous gerrymanders In the Democratic
States give the Democratic party the I'M
enviable pre-eminence 10 this practice.
The article contains political map OF

Bristols next week.
Boys stop making so many errors.
Doylestown to-morrow--big game.
Schenck is hitting the leather hard aud
so is Riddle.
Manager Closson has got together a
good team William you're hustler.
The Bristols were shut out last Satur-
day, by the Rivertons, OF Riverton, N. J.
In speaking of the game Of last Thurs
day, the Bristol Observer says: "There
was no brilliant playing on either side"
The Doylestowus were beaten by the
Hatboro Club, one day last week. The
reason-the umpires were too rank, so say
our neghbors. They should not find any
fault about umpires. How about their
old umpire.
Now that this city has good team, We
hope all will help to support it. Let
every one say before they start for the
grounds, am not going to sponge on the
boys to-day, am going TO help them
along, and you win be surprised to see
how the club will get along.
Tomorrow Thursday afternoon, the
sixth game for the championship of the
Delaware Valley, will be played on the
Association Grounds, in this city, between
the Doylestowns and Lambertvilles.
Admission-Grand Stand, 20 cents; car
riages, 25 cents benches. 10 cents. Tick.
cts on sale at the usual places. Game
called at $3.50 sharp.
The game on Thursday last, at Bristol,
was very poorly played on both sides, but
our boys succeeded in doing the most of
1t. Nearly every member OF the team
made errors and, Of course, they lost the
game. We think our boys will down the
Bristols when they come here next week.
They can do 1t II they play good ball.

The convicis who are liberated from the
State Prison by the Court Of Pardons
should show more regard for the feelings
and reputation Of that tribunal than to re-
sumo their lawless occupations so prompt

scamps have within few weeks broken
out into various acts of criminality, and
they will soon, no doubt, find themselves
back In their old quarters. This will
