HOW WE'VE GROWN.
The Population of the United States by
Color Sex and General Nativity.

The Population of the United States by
Color, Sex and General Nativity.
WASHINGTON, June 25.-The census
Office Friday issued bulletin on the
population of. the United States by
color, sex and general nativity. 1t
shows that the population as a whole
has increased during the decade from
1880 to 1890, 12,46G, ,467, or 24.S6 per
cent, the total population re.
turned in 1890 being 62,622,250 as
against total population in 1880 of 5O,-
155, 7S3 The males have increased from
25, SIS, $50 in 1880 to 50, 067, $50 in 1890, the
numerical increase being 6,549,060, or
25.66 per cent. The whole number of
females returned in 1880 was "a, 1856, ,963,
while in 1890 there We're 30,554, 370.
The females have increased, therefore,
5,917, 407, or "a. OF per cent since 1880.
Considering the population classified
as native and foreign born, we find
that 53,372,7 ,703 are native born, and
9,249, ,517 are foreign born. In 1850 there
were As, ,475, $40 native born and {, ,679, ,941
foreign born. The increase in native
born during the decade was 9,696, 1868,
or 22.76 per cent. as against an increase
for the decade ending with 1880 of 1O,.
4S4, sos, or Bits per cent. The increase
in foreign born during the decade from
1880 to 1890 was 2,5G9,604, or S9.47 per
cent the increase for the decade ending
with 1880 being 1,112,7 or 1890 per
cent According to the census of 1890
there were in the United States 54, 9S3, 800
white persons and 1858. 1850 colored per,
sons, meaning by ''colorcd" persons Of
African descent, Chinese, japanese
and civilized Indians. There has
been an increase in whites from 1880 td
1890 of 1850, ,02O, or 26.6s per cent. and
an increase in the colored for the same
decade of SS5,547, or 1911 per cent.
For the decade from 1870 to 1880 the
white increased 1929 per cent. and the
colored apparently $500 per cent. AS
has already been explained in previous
bulletins, however, the increase from
1870 to 1880 was to a certain extent
fictitious, particularly as regards the
colored population of the south.

BOYS DROWN A COMPANION.
Enticing Him to Pool of Water, They
Put His Head Down in the Mud.

YonK, o., June 24.-Lenny James
and Willie Wooley, of Milford Center,
this county, each about 12 years old,
were arrested Thursday morning by
Marshall Bonnet, of Marysville, for
drowning George A. Mcdonald, about
6 years old. They drowned him in a
pool near that place. The James and
W.ooley boys enticed the little McDon-
aid boy to the pool. They took him
into the pool and stood him ON his
head in the mud at the bottom of the
pool and left him. AS the little fellow
did not come home as soon as his
mother thought he ought, she grew un-
easy and gave the alarm, saying her
boy was lost. A search was instituted
and about o'clock Wednesday evening
he was found standing on his head in
the pool where he had been placed about
2 o'clock that afternoon. The water
was about three feet deep. The two
boys were bound over to court for mur-

Mr.. Depew is to be the next secretary

1t is understood that the president
has not formally rendered to Depew

ready to do so when Depew signifies
absolutely his readiness to accept. 1t
is probable that no man ever resigned
so many offices to accept new one as
Depew will resign if he enters President
Harrison's cabinet. He is now either
president or director in II of the largest

TWELVE KILLED
In Railroad Wreck at Harrisburg, Pa
Nearly FIFTY wounded.


HARRIsDuRe, June 27.-The most
fearful wreck which has ever occurred
in this city took place Saturday MORN
ing The first section of the Western
express which is due here soon after
midnight, was tagged below the city
because 1t was very late. The second
section came laundering along at the
rate of 45 miles per hour and dashed
into the first section, killing twelve and
injuring nearly fifty.
The cars were piled in confusion over
all the tracks, and forty feet high. The
Westinghouse private car which was at
tached to the first section, was upturned
and totally demolished. The screams
of the wounded could be heard squares,
and some of the most heart-rending
scenes took place. Before the debris
could be moved several persons died in
the wreck.
A deluging rain was pouring down,
causing those who were injured to suf-
fer intense pain. The engine of the
second section telescoped several of the
cars of the first section. A crowd soon
gathered and an ambulance carried the
wounded to the city hospital, number
ing up to this time, fifty men, women
and children. Several persons who
were injured left the wreck and went
to various houses in the vicinity, and it
is impossible to ascertain the names of
all who are missing
Robert Pitcairn, of the Pennsylvania
railroad, was on the train, but escaped
uninjured The city hospital is "a mass
of MANNED this morning. The city
physicians were called out to assist in
caring for the injured. The cause of
the accident is not exactly known, but
there seems to be mistake in the read
ing of the signals. Several Hungarians
were busy robbing the dead, but were
arrested and locked up. An immense
crowd has gathered at the scene of the
wreck, and the entire police force has
been called to preserve order.

Party Issues VIII Now BE Squarely Drawn
That is What the Republican Leaders
Desire.
WASHINGTON, Juune 24.-President
Harrison is well pleased over the nomi-
nation of Mr.. Cleveland. And it may
be added he is utterly indifferent as to
who is named for second place. he says
the fight will be a fair and definite one
upon protective lines, and will give the
people a chance TO speak upon
our present policy of building up
home industries. He does not fear the
result. The president hoped for Mr..
Cleveland's nomination, for while he
regards him as the typical democrat
and probably the strongest one in the
party, he feels that with him there can
be no equivocation. The issues will be
squarely drawn and nothing better is
wanted than a fair fight The presi-
dent is confident of reelection.
