Greensburg. Ind, May Now Want to
Be the National Capital.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 20-Superintendent
OF the Census Porter has prepared bulletin
giving the center Of population Of the
United States, together with the movement
of the center during each decade since 179O.
The exact latitude Of the center of the pres
ent census year is given as 800, IL and So ,
and the longitude $50, 32' and So, at point
In Southern Indiana, little west of south
OF Greensburg, the county seat Of Decatur
county. and twenty miles east of Colum-
bus
HAS VARIED BUT LITTLE.
The bulletin says: "The center of popu-
lation has clung closely to the parallel of
39' of latitude. The most northern point
reached was at the start in 1890; the most
southern point was in 1880, the preceding
decade having witnessed a rapid develop
ment of population in the southwest, Ala
bama, Arkansas, Mississippi and Louisi-
ana having been admitted as
states, and Florida annexed and
organized as territory. The extreme
variation in latitude has been less
than 10 while the 100 years of record have
accomplished movement Of longitude
of nearly 95-10o. The sudden acceleI-
alton OF the movement between 1850 and
1860 was due to the transfer Of a considera-
BILE body of the population from the At
laDtlo to the Pacific coast, twelve individ-
uals in San Francisco exerting as much
pressure at sthe then pivotal point, viz
the crossing Of the SD meridian and the
Goth parallel, as forty individuals at Bos-
ton.n

SACRAMENTO, Sept. 10. - Sacramento
captured the second game Of the series
from Oakland to-day by score Of II to 2.
The game was played in the morning so as
not to conflict with the races. Although
the game was poorly advertised, there was
quite a large crowd present. Iillman, tie
Colonel's new pitcher, essayed to pitch for
his team, but had to retire on account OF
nervousness and wildness. lie has lar
speed and good curves, but has great deal
to learn in baseball. BalsZ too his place
in the third inning and gave seven bases on
balls and hit two batsmen. lie had no
speed and was generally hit when a bit was
needed. Callen. Santa Rosa's pitcher, oe-
cupied the box for the home team and
pitched great game, holding the hard

being of the scratch order He was very
steady, giving but two bases on balls.
Bowman and SpeeT rendered their reSpec-
tive pitchers fine support. although the hid
was kept busy stopping wild pitches.
Magnate MeGuirk was not informed OF
the change in the hour Of playing and did
not put in an appearance. His position was
played by Reynolds, and could not have
been improved upon. McHale covered sec
and i'm fine style, while McCloskey, who was
playing left field in place Of Roberts, who
did not put in an appearance, gathered IN
everything that came his way and also exc

Guirk would not play, as the team is not
large enough for both. McDonald,s umpir-
ing was a great improvement over his work

IMMIGRATION CONVENTION.
Tho Delegates VIII Assemble To-Mor
in ul,is

Tho Delegates win Assemble To-Mor-
row in This City.
About one hundred and fifty prominent
Californians, from over thirty counties. will
meet here as an immigration convention to-
morrow. The convention was suggested
some months since by the Real Estate Ex-
change, and a committee of citizens, ap-
pointed at meeting called for the purpose,
sent out the call for the gathering. 1t will
take place in the asSembly-rOom of the Real
Estate Exchange on Post street. Arthur K.
Briggs, who was President of the old lmmi-
grafton Association, will call the convention
TO ORDER and it Is very likely that he will
be chosen permanent presiding officer. 1t is
ext ected that the convention will agree TO
maintain permanent organization TO carry
Cd immigration work. There has been dis
satisfaction felt by some at the State Board
of Trades efforts in this direction, and it is
understood that while no open opposition to
its work will be shown, yet different meth
DDS of inducing immigration will be per-
sistently followed. One plan is to maintain
an exhibition Of California products in the
East, and t. keep agents on the go to eX-
plain all desired details. There are several
Schemes all with earnest advocates, but all
have good objects in view.
