INJURED HIS SKULL.
A Colored Man Horribly Assaulted
by a Strange German.

Dy strange German.
Shortly before O'clock yesterday
afternoon, Steven Murray, a col
ored man working for the San An
tonic Oil company, met a German,
whose name could not be learned,
and the two engaged in a row, the
origin of which has not been made
public. The German lost his tenn
per, and picking up large, sharp
garden hoe, struck the negro a
severe blow on the head, cracking
his skull. The injured man fell to
the ground, and the German gave
him another lick as he fell, cutting
deep cash in his left cheek.
DIR. G. j. Starnes was called to
the scene, and after taking several
stitches in the two wounds, sent
Murray to his home on Crockett
street. The man is in critical con-
dition, and may not recover. The
German has not as yet been To-
Gated.

BIRDS OF A FEATHER.
Superintendent Byrnes Tells How
Criminals Flock Together.
New York Sun .

New York Sun.
Gan interesting thing about
criminals" said Superintendent
Byrnes the other day, "is that in
some mysterious way they CRAWL
tate together as soon as they ar
rive in town. You may fancy that
it is burglar who lands here from
an English steamer, an utter
stranger to every human being in
New York, or you may picture to
your mind any sort of thief or
crook, coming from any point of
compass, he will find the haunts OF
people like himself. How he
knows where they are, how he goes
about to find them, are questions
difficult to answer, but in every
case he discovers their haunts and
makes himself at home.
at is not wonderful that the
criminals should do this. A clergy
man landing here, a stranger,
would seek the society of men OF
his cloth, and foreign dry goods
man would introduce himself to
the dry goods men. That goes
without saying, but the honest
folk can easily find one another,
whereas the criminals hang out no
signs, and must be very much
harder to find out"
The sagacious superintendent
knows very we'll how this is done.
He not only watches those whom
he knows to be criminals, but also
those who are seen with them. He
would drop the shadowing of a
thief at any time to follow some
one in the thief's company, because
he knows the one and needs to
know the other. Methods like that
that leave little for him to guess or
to wonder at in the habits Of those
whom he studies.

Who Went to theWorId's Fair?

The answer by gate receipts would
be that about forty million people
passed into the portals of the White
City. AS that number would be two
thirds the total population of the
United States, we must reject it, if
it means that forty million different
individuals visited the fair. Probably
the large portion spent from four to
five days in the visit, and calculating
that each paid for one admission
day, we should have an estimate of
eight to ten millions attendance. As
this would amount to from twelve to
fifteen per cent. of our people, we
concluded that at least one person
from every two families has seen the
greatest exhibition of modern times,
and carried home an, account of it.
AS an educating force the Columbian
Exposition will exist for many years
after its last material vestige is re-
moved from Jackson Park. Incl
dentally it may be remarked that
during the continuance of the fair,
the Burlington lines carried into
Chicago five million four hundred
thousand people, thirteenth of the
country's population and third of
the visitors by the highest estimation.
