LOST HIS ARM.
Little Charles Emmett Cumberland
Dragged by an Engine.

Charles Emmett Cumberland, thir-
teen-year-old boy, was caught on the
grade crossing at Maryland avenue and
ID 1-2 street about o'clock yesterday, and
had it not been that the engineer had his
engine under full control. he would have
been dragged to death. AS it was how
ever, the engine was stopped before the
boy had been dragged a great distance
and he was saved from immediate death,
although he has row suffered the loss Of
an arm ana sustained number of serious
bruises. The little boy had assisted his
father in lighting street lamps and was
returning home to supper. When he
reached the crossing he had to wait for a
train to pass and then he started to cross.
But there was a train moving in the other
direction, and Charlie was caught by this
engine, knocked down and dragged. When
the engine was stopped 1t was found that
the boys arm was held fast beneath the
wheel. and the heavy piece of machinery
had to be moved before he could be ex-
tricated. When taken to the Emergency
Hospital his arm was amputated. 1t Is
feared he will not recover, although he
stood the operation well. His parents live
at No. 241 18th street.

TAKING THE CENSUS.
What 1t is Thought 1t VIII Show fol-
the City.

tho City.
There are sixty-three policemen detailed
on the work of taking the census, and 1t
is thought that their outside work will
not be finished for about ten days. This
will bring the work to a close about the
time of the Christmas holidays, and Maj.
Moore is anxious that the work shall be
completed as early as possible to avoid de-
lays In cases where persons leave the city
to spend the holiday season elsewhere. 1t
is possible that the books will all be COM
pleted before the commencement of the
holiday season, in which event the sum
total will be known before Christmas
The work is not as difficult as the gov
eminent census, for the officers are only
required to record those under six years,
under fifteen years ard over fifteen years,
and the color and sex.
Just what the figures will show is a mat
ter of conjecture. The census of 1892
showed population OF 2oS43l, while that
Of 1887, five years previous. showed total
of 21S,1 The police census of 1883 show
ed population of 203, i59.
Thus the ratio Of increase as shown by
these figures Is considerably more than
1000 q year. and should this increase be
shown this time the population will
amount to something like 275,OO0. But the
police think the increase will not be as
much this time as on other occasions or
the taking of the census. The heavy dis
charges in the government service and the
fact that many mechanics have probably
gone elsewhere seeking employment they
think, may possibly have some effect on
the number of inhabitants.
The officers feel pretty certain that there
will be a decided increase in the county
because of the number of persons who
have left the city and gone to live in tho
suburban villages. The census of 1892, as
already stated. showed a population of
25S, 431, divided as follows: City, 142,254

DRAW POKER IN COURT.
New York Supreme Justice Called
Upon to Decide a Betting Point.

Upon to Decide a Betting Point.
The supreme court of the state of New
York in solemn session, says the New York
Times, yesterday acted as arbiter in the
great American game of draw poker, as in
troduced by Scheuck 10 his royal highness
the Prince of Wales and codified by Hoyle.
In the summer of 1890 n party met in a
poker game at the Surf Hotel, Fire Island
Finally there was dispute regarding the
right Of player to know how many cards
another player had drawn. Four hundred
dollars were waged on the point, and the
decision left to a leading sporting paper
in the following terms.
d. g. s. s., Fire Island, N. Y: In a poker
game the cards are drawn, and before
bet is made A. asks the dealer how many
cards B. drew. Is the dealer compelled to
answer, providing he knows? What is the
rule on the point Pit depends on circum-
stances. Any player, previous to raising
his hand or making a bet, may demand OF
the dealer how many cards he drew, and
the dealer must reply correctly. By rails
ing bis hand or making a bet the player
forfeits the right to inquire and removes
the obligation to answer. Under no cir.
cumstances is the dealer obliged or allowed
to state how many cards any one but HIM
self drew.
But this does not satisfy all parties-and
the stakes were not paid. Finally one of
the bettors, he who held that the dealer
should tell how many cards had been
drawn, sued for his $500. with interest,
claiming the bet was drawn.
The attorneys FOR the defendant then
moved 10 dismiss on the ground that tho
wager was made on a fixed rule or law.
Justice Beach denied this and when all the
plaintiff in the sum of $24s, being the sum
claimed with interest.
II is said the case will be carried through
to the court of appeals.

A SENSATIONAL CASE.
Dr.. COurtenay's Trial for Attempting
to XIII Miss Schilling.

10 ALI MISS Sch1l1n8s
ST. LOUIS, December 1.-THE sensa-
tional case in which Dr. Edward st. George
Courtenay is charged with having assault
ed and attempted to kill Miss Minnie Schil-
ling, daughter of the late Brewer Schil-
ling. will be taken up today in the criminal
court.
Courtenay was arraigned yesterday and
entered a plea CT not guilty. The shooting
occurred on March 20, 1894, and created
sensation in Compton Hill society circles
where Miss Schilling, who is only nineteen
years of age, and said to be worth $4,000
in her own right, was both prominent and
popular. She had known DR.. Courtenay
for a long time, and he had become in
fatuated with either her money or her
beauty. Courtenay, however, was married,
and trouble with his wife followed as
natural consequence.
Miss Schlling in order to evade the
mans unwelcome attentions, went to live
with a friend, Mrs. Lewig at APO Aads
avenue On the day of the shooting Courte-
ray called at Mrs. Lewig's home and per-
suaded Miss Schilling to see him. Almost
as soon she appeared he drew a re-
yolVer and fired three shots, only one of
which took effect. The wound was not
serious, but Miss Schilling sank to the
ground in faint, and Courtenay, appar-
emily under the impression that he had
killed her, turned the weapon on himself
He almost succeeded in killing himself but
recovered after spending several weeks in
the hospital. Since his removal to the Jail
IT is thought Courtenay has been feigning
insanity. He has given conflicting eX-
plantations of his conduct, and has told nu-
merous stories which do not appear to have
any foundation in fact. Courtenay and his
wife have become reconciIed recently and
she was in court yesterday when the case
was called. Miss Schilling was also there
ana attracted a good deal of attention.

Williams family, making the fourth child
Of Mr.. Williams who has had the smallpox
Mary, an eleven-year-oid daughter. About
ten days ago Mr.. Williams and the men,
bers of his family who were not sick were
permitted to move into house No. 1873 Sd
street northeast, few doors north Of
Waugh Church. While they were not
actually quarantined and there was not a
flag or sign put on the house it was agreed
that they would keep out of street cars and
public places and avoid coming in contact
with others as much as possible, and this
they have done, so Health Officer Wood
ward said today.
While no particular danger from this
case is anticipated 1t is possible that other
cases may come from 1t, and persons who
have come in contact with the child will
be kept in suspense.
Today the postules appeared on the
child's face, and now MIR. Williams new
home is tagged and placarded and
Waterman will keep away visitors.
The two colored women, Mary Thomas
and Mary Washington, still in the hospital,
are virtually well and will probably be dis
charged this afternoon or tomorrow.

tomorrow.

HOUSE FINANCE COMMITTEE
Will Shape a Measure Differing Little
From That o6 Mr.. Carlisle
1t Will PrObablx Pess the House With
Good Vote. hut Democratic
SenatorS Objec

The House financef committee resumed
their hearing on DIR. lCarlisle's plan bright
and early this morning. They are evident
ly determined not to lose any time, but to
get before the House the measure to put
the plan into effect as speedily as possible
Mr.. Carlisle's bill was submitted to the
committee today. The subcommittee viii
probably begin tomorrow the work OF get
ting measure in shape to be acted upon by
the full committee when the hearings are
closed. The measure reported will prop-
ably differ very little from that submitted
by Mr.. Carlisle. It will certainly adhere
closely to the plan as marked out In his re-
port. Practically all the official leaders OF
the majority party in the House are In
favor of the immediate adoption OF SUCH
a measure. very few even of those who
have heretofore consistently opposed the
administrators financial policy show any
disposition to antagonize this proposition.
number of conferences have been held.
all resulting favorably to the plan, as far
as the House Is concerned.
Not Satisfactory In the Senate.
When 1t was discovered how thoroughly
a majority of the House was committed to
the proposition 1t was assumed that most
of the democrats in the Senate would come
around to the administration side OF the
case, and that the only thing to be appre-
hended was the antagonism of the Sena-
tors from the silver states. Anticipating
early action on the measure in the House.
an effort has been made to determine its
chances in the Senate. The result OF con-
ferences and investigation in that quarter
has not been satisfactory to the friends Of
the administration.
1t has been found that some OF the
strongest and most influential democrats
of the Senate are most earnestly opposed
to 1t. They say that II is incomprehensi-
BILE how any democrat who does not agree
with the general financial policy of Mr..
Cleveland can favor this proposition, and
add that If 1t should become law no
man now in Congress would live to see
silver rehabilitated as a money.
Designed to Prevent Silver RestOra-
One very prominent democratic Senator,
who possesses great influence with his
colleagues. said today that he did not think
there was any chance Of bill passing the
Senate to put this plan into operation. 1t
was perfectly clear to him, he said. as
he found 1t was to some of his colleagues.
that the proposition was designed to pre-
vent the restoration of silver as money
at any time, and was In every way con-
sistent with the policy of Mr.. Cleveland to
place and keep this country on gold
basis.
With these sentiments entertained by
even a few members of the Senate, it is
evident that the silver men in that body
will block the way and not permit any
measure to become law which accords
with MIR. Carlislssi recommendations.
