The Wealth of the Nation.

The census bureau has issued bull
letin on the assessed valuation of real and
personal property of the several states
and territories. The valuations are shown
for the years Of 1SgO and 1850, with the ex-
ception of Michigan for 1886, and of Ar
kansas, Delaware, Iowa, Mississippi, New
Mexico, Washington and Wyoming, which
are for 1SS9.
EzThe bulletin shows that the assessed
value of all property has Increased from
SIC. go2, 993, 2i3 in 1SS0. TO "a, ,e49 5s9,44 in
1880, an increase during the decade Of
s., s46, ,5O5, ,26l, or equivalent TO the true
value of all property as returned by the
United States census in 1850 (S7, I35, 7,9,-

Should it found upon the completion OF
the inquiry in relation to the true value of
all property in the United States that the
same relation existed in 1850 between as
sessed valuation and true valuation as ex-
listed in 1850, the absolute wealth of the
United States, according to the eleventh
census, may be estimated at So, ,6jO, COZ,
900, or nearly 81, 200 per capita, as against

A WEST INDIAN HURRICANE.
It Sweeps the Island of Martinique
Doing Great Damage.

Advices from the French Island OF
MARTINIQUE state that terrible tornado
created great damage on the 29th.
So far as can be learned there have
been nearly, if not quite, sixty deaths as
result of the hurricanes visiL but II
will be some time before the full extent oil
the disaster is known.
At Fort de France there have been
twelve lives lost and in Fort de Franco
and St. Pierre, to say nothing OF the eoan'
try districts, there have been large mum
bers of people injured
The latest report received nj St Pierre
from Lalentin shows that the hurricane
counts ten victims in that place alone, IN
addition to large number OF injured.
La Trinite sends in the list Of the dead
at ten and numbers more or less severely
injured.
The damage done to shipping aud prop
erty may safely be classed as stupendous
About two ffths Of the island were under
cultivation, and the mountain slopes were
covered with forests. Ali the cultivation
and all the forests in the path OF the bur

Communication with the different parts
OF the island was never an easy matter,
and it is extremely dinleult to set detailed
news at present
Additional details received from St
Pierre, capital Of the island Of Martinique,
show that the facts already published are
not only in no way exaggerated, but that
they did not tell the full story Of The disas-
ter. The number of dead was originally
estimated at sixty, with hundreds Of in

New Military Association.

A scheme is on foot by which the
militia Of all states will be put under na.
Sonal pay ana supervision. 1t was started
q officers Of the regular army at the en-
ompment of the State militia at Camp
wickham, Missouri, the other day, and
circulars and personal letters concerning
1t are now flying thick and fast about the
country. II is the most radical plan to
change the condition Of the militia OF the
country that has risen since the war.
The Officers, Lieutenant Robert E.
Evans of the Twelfth infantry and Lieu
tenant Joseph B. Bachelor OF the Twen-
" forth infantry, gave a resume Of the
plan to the encampment After making a
careful comparison Of the standing army
Of the United States with those OF other
countries, they had concluded that some.
thing must be done to dignity the military
forces Of this country. The constitution
of the "Association Of the National
Guards of the United States provides
that the National Guards OF the
various states are to be enrolled in
the National Guards Of the United States,
emaining under State control in time Of
sace, but being Immediately available for
.ational defense in case Of war.
The governor Of any State viii forward
o the secretary OF war the application or
any company Of not less than sixty men
who desire to Join the association.
Each cavalry troop will be paid s., COO
the first year it is organized and 5000
subsequent years. The artillery receives
the same. The infantry companies get
s., 900 each.
Lieutenants Evans and Bachelor said
s<s Organization was to be effected by a
bill which Congress was TO be asked to
pass at the coming session. Petitions are
being gotten up in all states, and the
movement is widespread but has been
kept quiet until 1t leaked out at Camp
Wickham.
The plan is approved By all officers and
men of the State militia and also by Ad.
iutant General Wicknam.

How CostiIla was Killed.

CandiGs Costilla, one of the sup
posed murderers Of two Swedes in Park
county was traced by officers to Huerfano
county, where they cornered him at last
in an adobe cabin. He had previously
sent out word to the officers that he
would not be taken alive, and upon being
surrounded he at once showed dght The
officers, Yocum and Wilson, with three
other men laid siege to his stronghold, and
great number OF shots were exchanged
during the day. Just at midnight the
Mexican emerged from the door of the
house, firing his revolver first at one
party and then at another, and began to
run A bright, soft moonlight was shed
over the ground, making it as light as
day, and the man was in plain view. The
Winchesters poured forth a volley and

Frightfui Series Of Child Murders in
Colombian Village.

The mails just in from Truiillo by
way OF Panama, bring the details from the
village Of Isomas de Zam1ra, in the United
States Of Colombia, OF the frightTul series
Of child murders committed there by tie
peon, MArceliuo Medina His wife and
daughter RemiEia are accessories to II not
aecomplices in the killing OF thirteen in
fauts.
Medina, who has been forced to make a
fun confession to the commisslonary Of
police, OzaIda Guiro, takes his detection
very cody and says that he killed his own
ten children because he was too poor TO
support them aud killed the three others
to hide his daughters shame. He has, in
spite Of his wholesale infantlcide, six sous
and one in daughterhis family, and it ap-
pears thatthey all knew OF his murders
and deprecated them.
But, although his people claim to have
hated him, and although his nelghbors in
Lomns de Zamora, where he has lived
since 1sTl, knew Of his acts all along, no
complaint ever found its way to the ears
OF the police until July Is, when he went
to the town to invoke the aid Of the police
in bringing back his daughter, who had
run away with lover. Her muscular
strength was valuable on his ranch, and
he wanted her back. She was arrested in
Quimos the next day, and in revenge told
OF her parents crime.
The old mans confession tells with
great detail the various ways in which he
murdered each Of the thirteen infants
from 1853 TO 1891. He killed them all
when they were less than months old
Between 1874 and 1sS2 he raised the seven
children he now has. Excavations made
have disclosed the skeletons of several of
the bodies. The favorite method of rnur
der was to squeeze in the childrenis chests
by pressing them against his own.

TroubLe in Nicararua.

Nicaragua is in a state OF ferment
due to a fight which occurred last Sunday
on the streets. President Roberto Sacasa
tried to rid himself Of his most prominent
opponents and at the same time nip in the
bud a possible growing revolu ton. The
gentlemen arrested include two ex-presi-
dents of Nicaragua. and the editor and
owner of the most important daily journal
In the country. While being taken to Jail
men were killed including the chief of
police. Granada is practically in a state
Of seige, and the troops at the capital are
confined to the barracks. In addition the
opposition to President Sscasa is growing
daily and affairs are assuming critical
positions.

four thousand so-called American

in the matter of magazine reading,
while formerly one or two magazines
represented the best of American
