POPULATION OF TOWNS.

The census figures as they come
along are not easily exhausted One
may look at them from so many points
of view. The subject of density of
population was treated of in the last
issue of this paper. From that it was
seen that Hawaii, as far as density of
population was concerned, was up to
the average of the United States hav-
ing twenty-four to the square mile,
while Arizona had IL, Wyoming less
than one person to the square mile,
and Nevada four-tenths of a person to
the square mile. Hawaii would be
very foolish to give up her territorial
riPhts and become a mere county of
California, when she has population
such as these census figures show
But besides, the. figures which show
the density of population according to
States and Territories, or according to

The sudden death of Adelbert Hay
cuts off a career which might have been
a brilliant one. Young Hay had the
primrose path before him. He had had
the best of education, had mingled with
distinguished people all his life, had
held one important official position and
was on the point of occupying another,
when death came swiftly and suddenly,
and the young life was blotted out for
ever. The ways of providence are
strange to us. Why one should be
taken and another left is what we can
not understand.

aggregations of States and Territories,
there is another question to consider,
and that is the tendency of the popula-
ton towards the cities and towns The
more civilized man becomes, the more
gregarious he becomes. Primitive man
his aspirations for being eregarious
were limited. He wanted a large range
of county to roam over. Civilized man
concentrates enormously, and we get
such human hives as Greater New
York. and that greatest and most
teeming of all cities Greater London
with it's 100000 inhabitants.
The tendency of the population tow
ard towns. and cities has been remark
ed as feature of the statistics of pre-
figures of the twelfth census the drift
still continues. The combined popula-
ton of municipalities at the date or
the eleventh census amounted to &c.
079S2S persons, or d per cent OF the
whole population. On June / last year
the population of the municipalities
numbered 3S,S49,516, which was AZ per
cent of the whole number of people
in the country. The towns and cities
numbered 1873 in 1890; in 1900 the fig
tanned upward of a million inhabitants,
namely, New York, Chicago and Phila-
delphia. There were three cities hav-
ing between 100000 and 100000 inha-
bitants in 1900, as compared with only
one in 1890. There were no cities last
year with a population between 100000
and 100000, but there were five with
a population between 100000 and 4OO,-
OOO Among the states, Illinois leads as
regards the number of Incorporated
towns, having $50; Pennsylvania comes
next with 1893, and New York third with
43S The latter state, however, leads
as regards the percentage of the nopu-
lation living in incorporated cities and
towns, n per cent of it's inhabitants
residing in such places. The urban
element in the population has gained
then during the decade since the last
census, for only SO per cent lived in
cities and towns in 1890. In six other
states more than two-thirds of the peo-
pie live in Incorporated places, namely,
Massachusetts, Illinois, Rhode Island,
Pennsylvania, Colorado and Connecti-
cut. The smallest percentage of peo-
pie living in towns in any state is re-
ported from Mississippi, where only 10
per cent live in incorporated places.
AS will be seen from the figures, not
far from half of the population now
live in towns and cities, and the ten
dency toward those centers seems to be
a constant one.

Weaver-beg pardon - Commodore
Weaver is as irrepressible as Judge
Humphreys. After running himself out
in every island port of the Pacific, after
the explosion of his plantation scheme
in Samoa, after his exposure in Austria
liza and New Zealand, he hobs up sere-
men in tow, whom he proposes to lead
to still greater fortune through some
mythical mines. One often wonders
what the end of Weaver will be. For
unbounded cheek there is hardly his
equal in the whole continent of Anne
rica, and that is saying a good deal.

THE CONSTITUTION Is BEATEN.
Strikes Twice on Ledge. Some Of Her Plates
Believed to be Injured
(By the Associated Press.)

Newport, r. L.. July 25.-The Columbia
today in a rafting thresh to windward
from New London to Newport gave the
Constitution great beating, the latter
finishing good third of a mile astern OF
her antagonist and being defeated two
minutes and five seconds. The Constltu-
ton, following right in the wake of the
Columbia, struck twice on ledge near
the Race Rock Lighthouse There was
substantial bump on each occasion, and
after this accident the Constitution be-
haved like lame duck. Her speed was
diminished and she sagged off to leeward.
Mr.. Duncan, who is in command, said
this evening that he believed some OF the
plates on the leaden keel were wrenched
off by the force of the impact on the hard
rock, and that these plates from the nm
acted as drag on the yacht and made
her incapable of showing her usual racing
form. diver was sent down shortly
after the Constitution was moored to-
night but he was unable to make
satisfactory examination; and Mr. Dun
can decided not to race the boat further
until she has been hauled out and OPP
portunity given for thorough investiga-
ton.

Washington, July 25.-The Weather
Bureau official report shows that the corn
belt region continues hot and dry with
no prospects of immediate change in
these conditions. Showers have fallen in
the northern half of the corn belt area
since last night, including Eastern
Nebraska, Iowa, Northern Illinois, North
ern Indiana and Ohio. Most of these
rains which generally were light in
amount. fell last night Today there
were some light rainfalls in Western
Nebraska and Oklahoma. These slight
precipitat ions, however, the forecast
officials say are not always conducive to
the best results to the growing crops, as
they are mostly thunderstorms imme-
diately followed by hot sun. Showers,
IL is said, possibly may occur in the
drought stricken region tomorrow as
they usually are inseparable from vista
lions of intense heat, but no general oc-
currence of them is forecasted. Tenn

degrees lower today than yesterday,

"A H|DE0US CRIME
Attempted Assault Upon a
Three Year Old Child.
A Man OF lhiriy-Fiye Arrested and Locked I'd
on Complaint of The Chd's
Father.

Especial to the News and Observer.)
Burlington, N. c., July 25-Frank
Alfred, aged So. was arrested here to-
night by Chief of Police Murray
charged with an attempted rape on lit
tie Ciayti Petty, the 3-year-old daugh-
ter OF G. w. Petty, Of Osceola. The
charge against Alfred is very strong
and there seems to be no doubt as to
his guilt.
Alfred has borne a good reputation
previous to this and it is great sur
prise to all who know him.
The facts in the case as given to
your correspondent are: Alfred has
been employed in the Belmont Cotton
Mills and boarding with the Petty fam
ily Last night he was drinking and
did not report for duty this morning.
Mr.. Petty left Alfred and the little girl
in the room this morning about 8
O'Clock and went out to attend to some
business. When he returned he saw
strong evidences of criminal design
on Allred's part The father demanded
of him what he was about, but he only
jumped up and fled from the house.
Mr.. Petty at once looked up a deputy
sheriff and began search for Alfred.
They were not able to find any trace OIL
him until he was located here this even
ing just as he was about to take the
5:45 train.
The officers carried him back to the
scene of the crime, which is about
seven miles from this place, where he
was tried before Justice Page and COM
rOitted tn iail without bond
The feeling against Alfred is very
strong. but there is no danger of the
people taking the law into their own
hands and lynching him. They will
allow the Jaw to take it's proper course

Three IRE Departments Fight
the Flames.
AT LAST ARE GOTTEN UNDER CONT Of
Fire Began in a Great Pile of Kind
lings on the Levee Whence it
Swept Across Immense Lum-
Der Yards Into the City
(By the Associated Press.)

davenport, Ia, July 25.-Fire laid
waste an area of saw mill and residence
property in Davenport this evening equal
to twenty ordinary city blocks.
The flames started in a big pile OF
kindling wood of the Rock Island Fuel
Company on the levee. A brisk breeze
was blowing, which carried the flames di-
rectly across the immense lumber yards
OF WeyerhauserDe nkmann, which was
soon seething mass of flames.
The spread of the fire was so rapid
that workmen barely had time to de-
sert the yard. The flames pushed their
way into the adjoining residence district
closely settled with middle class homes,
the average value being few thousand
dollars each. from which the occupants
escaped only with their lives and the
clothing on their backs. Over fifty homes
were thus burned, some of them tene-
ments, resulting in a hundred families
being rendered homeless, while others de-
serted their homes in the threatened dis
trict.
Vacant houses all over town are filled
with furniture, removed from the i'm
perillcd district. The fire was fought he
roically by the fire departments of Daven-
port Rock Island and Moline Illinois, the
latter cities responding promptly to the
appeal fer aid.
Efforts to check the flames were unavail-
ing until they spread on the north to the
spacious grounds of st. Katherines Hall,
boarding school for young ladies which
was saved after the tower burned off.
Gradually the battle waged on the edges
of the flaming district told as less thickly
settled portions of the city were invaded.
BY 10 o'clock the conflagration was under
control.

rany and yards were entirely destroyed,

NEGROES WILL BE SENT BACK.
The Steel and Coupler Works Forced to Aban
don Their Plan @
(By the Associated Press

Chicago, July 25.-General Manager
Aertsen, of the Latrobe Steel and Coupler
Works, at Melrose Park, gave out a
statement this evening, declaring that
the company had abandoned the effort
to bring colored laborers to Melrose Park
and they will be sent back to their homes
in Alabama.
All day the three hundred colored men
sat in their cars at LAGRANGE, twenty
eight miles from Chicago, in fear. A com
mittee of five citizens of Melrose Park
called on them during the morning and
urged the men to return to their homes
in Alabama. They informed the negroes
of the actual state of affairs in Melrosc
Park, where three hundred armed men
were awaiting the arrival of their train,
determined that they should not be al
lowed to alight in the village. Their
statements alarmed the imported men
more than ever, and finally five of them
stepped off the train and made their way
into Chicago, where they sought an in
terview with Chief of Police O'Neil ask
ing protection, which he could not give,
as the trouble was not within the city
limits. After the five men had left the
train to come to Chicago, the fears of
those left on the train increased greatly
and it was with difficulty that the train
men managed to keep them from running
away in panic. Nearly all of the col
ored men declared that they would not
go to Melrose Park and that if they were
taken there on the train, they would re-
fuse to get off,
At 2 O'Clock Marshal Rau, of the town
of LAGRANGE, ordered the train bearing
the colored men to move out of the viii
lage. 1t did so and was placed on a
siding at Salt Creek, two miles north of
LAGRANGE. In the meantime, attorneys
for the steel company, called upon Sher-
if Magerstadt, and asked that the COM
pany be given ample protection against
the mob violence which was threatened.
They stated positively that the laborers
would be landed in the shops of the COM
pany late this afternoon, whether the
sheriff furnished any aid or not.
Out at Melrose Park the armed citizens
remained on watch until assured the ne
groes were not coming, when they dis

TRAFFIC PARTLY SUSPENDED.
Report That Brooklyn Bridge officials Knew
of the Break Week Ago.
(By the Associated Press.)


New York, July 25.-No attempt was
made this morning to resume full
service on the Brooklyn bridge on which
several suspension rods were found to
be broken yesterday. A ten car service
was permitted by the police, but it could
not handle even a percentage of the traf-
fic, and the majority of the persons who
live in Brooklyn and come to New York
for business were obliged to walk across
the bridge or cross the river on the
ferry lines.
Engineers examined the bridge care
fully today and it is expected that full
repairs will be made in a day or two.
Acting District Attorney LeBarbier has
called the attention of Police Commits
sioner Murphy to the report that the
breakage was known to the bridge officials
for week gs
If this were so, wrote the acting dis
trict attorney and if no steps were taken
looking to repairs, then the officials were
guilty of criminal negligence and the case
would be presented at once to the grand
jury.
