The funeral of John Keefe, who died
from suffocation the night of the Fourth
was held in st. Peters church yesterday
morning, High Mass being said at that
time. With regard to the cause of his
death the TINES was in error in stating
that bis matches were not taken from him
before he was placed In confinement
Special Officer Jerry Hogan carefully
searched him and took away matches,
knives and everything OF a dangerous
character, before he left the prisoner alone.
How the fire was set is not known.
A large party from Bellows Falls and

were pre- sented with purse OF money, an
elegant sideboard, center table and par
lor lamp, Capt. w. III. Taylor making the

CENSUS QUESTIONS.
Some Interesting Changes Made in
the Proposed Schedule.

Mr. Merriam, the Director OF the Census.
has. after deliberation with the President,
decided to omit certain questions asked of
individuals in the canvass of 1890, and TO
insert in their stead other questions more
interesting to the public and more easily
and accurately aseertained.
The questions which will be omitted in
the coming Census are those which are
peculiarly personal in character II has
been thought wise to omit the 1890 enquiry
in regard to acute and chronic disease"
which provoked so much criticism during
the last Census that it received few salts
factory replies. Questions relating. also.
TO defective intellect or defective senses
have been dropped, except in cases directly
under the care of professional institutions.
The enquiry as TO whether or not the per-
son was a prisoner, convict homeless child,
or pauper has likewise been omitted.
The question relating to age has been
elaborated. Persons will now be asked not
only how old they are. but also the exact
year, month, and day of birth An inter-
esting alteration occurs in the question re-
lating TO the number of children born to
each mother and the number living at the
time the Census is taken. This change
has been made in order to determine mere
accurately the birth rate and death rate
during the past ten years. The question
will be of interest in all sections of the
country-in the South as indicating the
relative increase in the white and eolored
races; in the North as showing the ef
feets of certain forms of alleged re-
fined immortality.

THE CRAMPS ANXIOUS.
The Strike May Cause Complications
In the Russian Contracts,

PHILADELPHIA, Sept 2S.-Although
the Cramp Shipbuilding Company is pro-
tected against monetary loss in its con-
tracts with the Russian Government for
which 1t is building two warships for de-
lay caused by strike of the employees OF
its yards, there is no doubt that they are
placed in an embarrassing position by the
detection of their workmen. It was learned
today from good authority that the Cramps
have been sounding the Russian officers
stationed here to learn just what idea the
Russian Government has of a completed
ship. If this idea is that a completed ship
is one fully equipped to put out to sea they
Will be forced to request an extension Of
time.
There was some close competition with
the shipbuilders of England and France
for the contracts for the construction of
the Russian vessels, but the Cramps secur-
ed the work by convincing the Cars Of
fieials that they could build the ships in
one-half the time required by the Europ-
can builders, and as their previous per-
formances had shown them to be able to
accomplish such feat. they secured the
contracts. The Russian Government had
serious Intentions of awarding the con-
tracts to French builders, both for business
and sentimental reasons, but FIVE years was
the minimum time in which they could do
the work whereas the Cramps guaranteed
to finish the ships in less than three years
The prospect of having this early addition
to the navy in such short time decided
the matter and the contracts came here.
Work on the vessels was progressing
fairly we'll, the only backwardness being
that due to the failure of iron companies
to deliver plates. The dissatisfaction of
many of the best trained of the skilled me-
chanics employed by the firm and the con-
sequent strike is what is causing the most
serious embarrassment, and although the
firm will not admit it, they are DOW Sc
riously behind and will, in all probability,
have TO ask for an extension Every effort
is being made by the firm TO prevent
general strike. Today it was announced
that the pay of the carpenters had been in
creased from s2-75 to So day, and similar
increases have been made in other depart
ments.
1t is generally admitted now that the
situation is in the hands of the boiler
makers, riveters, caulkers, and trades al
lied with them. They are organizing and
are holding meetings. but they are acting
slowly and under the advice of conserva-
tive men, and will not strike unless they
are sure that their action will force set
tlement on the part Of the firm.
