MAY BE A MONTH
Before Result of Census Taking Will be
 Known

Washington, June 1S.-Director Merriam of the Census Bureau said today that the results of the work of the enumerators would not be known for at least two weeks, and it might be a month before the first bulletin is issued. He stated that enumer- ators are strictly forbidden by law to give out information of any kind in regard to their work, and if they violate this law they will be heavily fined. The director said that in view of this condition, any fig ures presented as to the work of the enu- merators other than those in the bulletins of the office will be mere speculation, and can be of no value.
 The count of the population in the large cities is practically completed, and about fifteen thousand enumerating districts have reported as finished. The number of cards received from enumerators up to date is about 5000.

GRAND PARADE
Five Miles of Men March to Martial
 Airs

Philadelphia, June 1S-Five miles Of clubs, mounted, on foot, by coach, floats and in carriages, interspersed with music, red fire and a cake walk is the shortest way of describing the turnouts of the visit ing clubs in this city tonight.
 Those who have been complaining for the past two days of the unusual quietude pre- ceding the meeting of a national conven- tion must have reflected tonight that they criticised too soon. Those who have at tended previous demonstrations liken that of tonight to the great turnout of clubs in Chicago that was reviewed by Blaine and in 1884,
 The police had prepared for the demon- stration tonight by roping Broad street, carrying out the Washington idea of clear ing Pennsylvania avenue for a parade. It was a wise forethought, but before dusk Philadelphia's appropriately named thor oughfare was a mass of humanity which tugged at the cables like an ocean liner. The entire line of march was a crush, but that section of the street between City Hall and the Hotel Walton was conspicu- ously animated. It was in this section that there was the greatest and most ar- tfstic arrangement and display Of cleo tric lights The south facade of the City Hall was outlined by strings of incandes- cant bulbs which looked like illuminated beads. Ropes of similar lights extended from either side of the building to the sum- init of the lofty dome, terminating at the base of the Penn statue.
 It has been many years since the police of Philadelphia has been called upon to handle such banks of humanity as it con- fronted tonight. An amusing feature of the parade and, by the way an innocation. was an interladed cake walk in the column. The characters were colored men, women and children attired in costumes made the more attractive by torches of red fire. In the pre-arrangement of tonight's parade it had been decided in spite of an expressed sentiment by many of the clubs to permit

nothing in the line antagonistic to civil service. At one time a determination by some of the clubs to accentuate anti-civil service threatened to breed bad feeling and the committee in charge succeeded in eliminating what is considered an objec- tionabe feature. There were, however two violations of the order On one transpar- ency mounted on a wagon was the motto:
 '"The civil service laws disqualified all over the age of 45 years.'
 On another, carried by a club on foot, was this:
 We opposed to civil service law be- cause 1t Is un-American."

fied Out Last Night.
JOHN c.. M'CABE NOMINATED
He Was Named by j. Prince Ford, of
the Fourth Ward, at the Board
of Education Last Evening,
but Was Defeated by
Several Directors.

At tine time j. r. Hartman of the
Fourth ward resigned from the Board of
Education, mention was made in THE
sun oil report that there was scheme
on foot to get William Turner back into
the board in Mr.. Hartman's place.
AT the same time it was stated that the
remaining member from the Fourth
ward should by courtesy have the nam
ing of the new director, but unless he
should be man in sympathy with those
who favored the new high school moye-
ment he would not likely be elected
The scheme referred to in The SUN was
worked very successfully by those favor
ing the new high school project and at
last nights meeting OF the Board of
Education, William Turner was nomi-
mated by Mr.. Morrow and elected.
The resignation of Mr.. Hartman took
place on December %, and no nomina-
tiOn was made bv j. Prince Ford, the
remaining member from the Fourth
ward, until lasU evening. Mr.. Ford had
defeated Mr.. Turner for reelection at
the last school election and had declined
to place Mr.. Turner in nomination, say
ing that he had been told that the people
would again reject him at the polls.
AT the meeting last evening, Mr.. Ford
asked that the matter go over until the
next meeting, but his request was re-
fused. He then nominated John G.
McCabe, OF the firm of McCabe 4 Dar-
ragh, wagon builders, Fourth and Wal.
nut streets, whom he said was a bust
ness man and believed to be good
man.
Mr.. Morrow in nominating Mr.. Tur-
nea5 said he did so at the request of citi-
zens of the Fourth ward,
Mr.. Ford said he had been told by Mr..
Hartman on Sunday that MIR. Turner
would not serve if elected. Mr.. Morrow
said he had it from Mr.. Turner, himself,
that he would.
Drs. Franiz and Palmer were appointed
telers and announced the result to be,
Turner, votes and McCabe, votes.
Mr.. Turner was declared elected.
1t is believed he will be made chair
man of the new building committee,
which craftsmanship he held when
member of the board before Colonel

that committe, it is believed, will be
made chairman of the finance commit
tee, which office was held by Mr.. Hart

WOMEN WHO FOUGHT
WITH LONG KNIVES
Appear Before Judge Ball and Ex-
plain. Why the Contest
Took Place. ''''

After few weeks soiourn in the
Homeopathic Hospital, Ida A.Alexander
and Susan Smith, colored, the principals
in recent hand to hand encounter with
long bladed knives, were allowed last
night to tell their, troubles to Judge
Ball. u
According to the evidence the fight
occurred at Fourth and Scott Streets
within the shadow of the walls of Teitle-
mans bottling establishment. The cause
OF the fracas was jealousy, and the bone
OF contention was Harry Harmon, chief
bottle washer of the Teitleman works.
When following his usual vocation,
Harry was often visited at his place OF
employment by Ida Alexander. On the
evening in question, Ida declared that
she was about to pay her respects to Mr..
Harmon, when Susan Smith appeared
and objected to Miss Alexanders atten-
tion to Mr.. Harmon. A scene was the
result.
lua was armed with long bladed
shoe knife and proceeded to disfigure
the. person of Susan, until the knife
broke.
Susan snatched the broken weapon and
retaiated upon Ida until both dusky
maidens were red with gore and fit sub
jects for the hospital, The Phoenix am
bulance took both belligerents to the
hospital for repairs.
On hearing the evidence and learning
that Ida had an Is months old baby at
nome as we'll as 5 year old child, Judge
Ball did not inflict any imprisonment.
He fined Ida SIS and costs. Susan Smith
was allowed to depart unmolested. Ida
was returned to her cell suffering with
rheumatism, and is now waiting for
the $25.
Harry Harmon was placed on the
stand but did not prove very valuable
witness for the prosecution, as he seemed
to know little or nothing about the
affair.
Charles Dougherty, who was released
from New Castle Jail but yesterday, will
return to his former place of abode.
Provided with about one dozen empty
cigar boxes and bag OF tobacco sweep
ings, Charles will today begin a thirty
days sojourn with Sheriff Taylor.
