THE CENSUS of 1880 was the work OF
nine wears and cost FIVE million; that Of
1890 will, it is said, be completed next
wear, and its cost is estimated at eight
million. The former was never finished
and some of the work of the latter was
abandoned after hundreds of thousands
of dollars had been squandered upon it.
That eight million will be the entire
cost of the latter is an idea not enter
tanned by any body at all familiar with
bureau work in Washington.

OUTRAN THE ANGRY FATHER.-Snow
Hill, Nd, is greatly interested in the
details of an clopement case which
happened on Saturday, That evening,
about dark, young couple drove up
to the Central Hotel and stated 10
Landlord McKew that they wished
supper, a marriage license and Il minis
ter, further adding that they had driv-
en- from small town in Virginia fifty
miles away, for the purpose of being
married. Like Lord Ullan's daughter,
the fair young maiden felt sure that an
irote father was hard upon their tracks,
and she was very nervous in conse-
quence. The affair must be done quick
~ or not ut all, so the anxious young
Lochinvar informed Mr.. McKew, and
that gentleman at once sailed forth to
look up q license and clergyman.
A messenger was sent for Deputy
Clerk Station, who was found at the
residence of lady friend about to start out
In company with two other ladies and their
escorts TO tea. 1t was decided that all
present were 10 accompany him to the clerks
office and see the expectant and impatient
bridegroom given his document. This was
done, and the yirginian seemed very much
surprised when informed by wag in the
party that they, too had run away to marry,
and were in great hurry to obtain their
licenses, and each one wished to be waited
upon first. The young man, however, pre-
vailed npon them to give way to him, when
seizing the coveted prize he rushed out. and
in a very short time Rev ID. Bruce Fitzgerald
had made the couple man and wife.

BALTIMoREANs ARE now talking
about building an electric railroad from
their city to Washington, to be ready
for travel by the 4th of March. The
distance from Baltimore to Washington
is forty miles. That from Alexandria
to Washington, in straight line, is SIX
miles. The Alexandria and Mt. Yer
non electric road could certainly be
produced six miles in less time than
would be required to build forty miles
of the same sort of road; and, il
completed by the 4th of March, its re-
ceipts during inauguration week alone
would be sufficient to pay almost, If not
the whole, cost of its construction.

Mr.. MORGAN, Commissioner of the
Indian Bureau, who dismissed Indian
school teachers because they were Cath
olics, and who saved servants hire by
making pupils in the Indian schools do
his house work, now blows his horn
and says he is not beholden to the dem
ocrats, and intends to resign his posi-
ton on the first of March. As he
should, and possibly would be dismis-
sed on the 4th of that month, he would
have saved himself from being ridicu-
lous if he had kept his mouth shut.

"The democratic pledges OF the last
campaign have got to find very substan-
tai and literal fulfillment mt the hands
of those whom the people have placed
in control of the government, or the
popular disappointment will be deep
and dire, and no less dire, may be as
sumed, will be the consequences OF that
disappointment to be visited upon the
heads of those who venture to trlfie
with and betray the peoples trust"
True as gospel, every word of it.
Therefore there should be an extra SEES
sion of Congress in March, so as to be-
gin and complete the work OF repeating
the existing burdensome and oppres-
sive tariff bill, which imposes a high
tariff tax on the necessaries OF lie ana
a low one on the Injuries, and of pass
ing a Just and equitable one, by which
the requisite revenue will be collected
from the rich, and not, as is the case
now, almost entirely from the poor.

A kentucky Fight.

The bloodiest fight in Magofiin coun-
tvs history took place yesterday about
one mile from Sylversville. There
were eight or ten of the county's best
known citizens engaged on each side,
armed with repeating rifles and navy
pistols. The trouble had its inception
in trivial matter the day before.
John Davis was killed by pistol
shot said to have been fired after he was
disabled and disarmed.
w. +. Deskins, constable, was fatally
wounded by shot in the right hip,
the ball ranging upward through the
bowels.
Montevillc Deskins, a justice OF the
peace, has not been found since the
tight. But he left bloody trail on the
snow Though q woodland near the
scene OF the tragedy, and is supposed to
be fatally wounded. The gun with
which Re is known to have been armed
was found yesterday in the woods.
Shepherd Cole, coroner ofthe county,
received some fearful blows with 4 club
0ed gun ana may ule.
Br;ce Patrick was shot through the
bow els and is reported to be dying.
". T. Patrick, brother of eX-Sher-
if J. C. Patrick, received a rifle ball
along the right side of his head, and
was at first supposed to be dead, but he
has rallied, and physicians say he will
Eve if there is no conclusion of the
brain.
Reports as to who was Immediately
responsible for the terrible affair are
conflicting, and it is not even known
who fired the fatal shots.
Dug Risner and Samuel Risner were
taken there yesterday morning by
Coroner Cole and a strong guard,
CHARGED under u warrant issued by
Monteville Deskins with an assault on
w. f. Deskins. The coroner commit
ted the dangerous imp.opriety of max
ing a guard of the persons who were
identified with the prosecution, and for
whose protection the warrant was is
sued. This was resented by the friends
of the prisoners and both sides went to
town heavily armed.
The prisoners were arraigned before
Police Judge George H. Gardner, and.
the Commonwealth not being ready for
trial, they were released under bond
Some loud talking on the part of one
of the Risners very nearly precipitated
fight in town about 2 o'clock, but
prompt interference of the authorities
prevented it. The fight took place an
hour later. No arrests have been made,
and it is feared that another fight is i'm
minent.

A LEADING anti-snapper journal IN
New York is now essayins the vain
task of inducing the democratic mem
bers of the Legislature of its State TO
BELIEVE that no obligation of party feal-
ty should compel them to attend party
caucus. Mugwumps and anti-snappers
don't attend party caucuses, unless they
know the majority will be with them;
but democrats are not that sort of cat
tie, and attempts to make them such,
from the very nature of the case, must
not only be futile, but ridiculously so,

newspapers in Virginia, looks upon the

Dir. Murphy, for the New York Sena-

preference long before Mr.. Cleveland

act of selfish and spiteful hostility" to
the President-elect. People who take
this view of the case are afflicted with

"I feel as strong and as healthy as ever, and must say it was Dr. Greene's Nervura blood and nerve remedy that, has restored me back to health again.
 "This wonderful remedy is worth it's weight in gold, for found it to do just as it was said it would do, and will never do without it in my house."
 This is especially good news at this season of the year for most everybody needs a spring medicine. So many peo- pie are run down in the spring, feel weak, tired, languid and nervous, and lack thelr usual strength, energy and ambition, that Detective Honeyman's recommendation of Dr. Greene's Ner- vura blood and nerve remedy to restore health and vigor comes just at the right time. It is purely vegetable and harm less, and is sold by druggists for $1 co.
 What makes it most popular as the best and most useful spring medicine is the fact that it is the prescription and discovery of a physician, Dr. Greene, of 35 w. 14th St., New York, who is the most successful specialist in curing ner- vous and chronic diseases. The Doctor can be consulted free, personally or by etter.

YOUTH AND ENERGY,
These Have Made a Young De.

A Man of Experience with Criminals O
 all Glasses. .... .
He Talks About Matter of the Greatesi
 Interest.

Phenomenal indeed is the energy which has placed young detective Philip S. Honeyman at the head as general superintendent of the great National Detective Agency of 371 Fulton Street, Brooklyn, N. Y. Although still young man, he has now a name which many older detectives might we'll envy, and the acope of hIs business is almost world wide. But like many men of great ability and ambition, Mr.. Honeyman broke down for a time under the strain of his excessive labors. He is at present, however, in sound health, and full of his old energy and enthusiasm.
 "Yes, I was completely broken down in health" he said, "and suffered from extreme exhaustion and could not rest day or night.
 "I had an all gone feeling in my stom- ach and a terrible palpitation at my heart.
 "I had to give up business for some time, and after consulting and treating with two very good physicians with no benefit, at last tried Dr. Greene's Ner- vura blood and nerve remedy.
 "I have taken two bottles and the all gone feeling has disappeared, as also has the palpitation at my heart.
