HIRAM CRONK,
Aged 105 years 4 months,
Last Survivor of tho War Of 1912.

There were two handsome floral
pieces. One had been sent by the local
posts Of the G. A. R. and the other by
the Society of the War Of 1872.
There was a good sized crowd outside
the Forty-second street entrance OF the
station when the procession started
for the City Hall. In front went a de
tail Of eight mounted policemen, headed
by RoundSman Davis. The policemen
cleared a path down Fifth avenue for
the procession and turned all north
bound vehicles into the side streets.
A delegation of members Of Grant
Post, G.. A. R., came next, forming a
personal escort to Colonel Butt. The
Eighth Infantry Band, laying dead
marches, followed, and close behind
the band was q company Of regulars
from Governors Island, under Captain
Evan N. Johnson.
The heavy hearse, draped in black
trappings and drawn by four black
horses, was hanked by double lines OF
members of Grant Post, G. A. R. Then
there was a delegation of Daughters
Of the War of 1872, who preceded hfty
members of the Society of the War OF
1912.
A 6fer and a drummer led six Minute
Men and two officers representing the
Army and Navy. The end of the pro-
cession was made up Of carriages. In
two of the carriages rode the party
that had accompanied the body. Moth.
ing else could have so well empha-
sized the great age of the dead veteran
as the %decrepitude of his wrinkled oc.
t%ogenarian son, Philander.
A special committee of Aldermen
filled the other carriages. They wore
high hats and white gloves. The Chair
man of the Aldermanic committee was
John Wirth, and his associates were
General Daniel E. Sickles and Alder.
men Owens, Dougherty, Kenney, Cog.
gey and Kline.
Nearly every imaginable sort of uni
form, ancient, modern and in between,
| figured in the procession.

other attempts to wreck Santa Fe
trains near the same spot within the
last four months.
The wrecked train, No. 10, was run-

| when it struck a curve Oh an embank-
ment eight feet high. Here several

they were firmly nailed to the ties.
| This fact, miraculous almost in itself,
probably averted a disastrous wreck.
The mail car, just behind the tender.
left the tracks and the ties as soon as
it struck the loosened rails and was

and the two days coaches and smoking

ties, then broke away from the mail
car and engine and went sliding and

breaking through the fence that
bounds the company's right of way and

the tracks. The smoker turned over

thus released the imprisoned and in

pounds, was rescued with difficulty be-
cause of his size and weight. Of the
others injured, James Eaguer. seventy

YELLED MURDERESs DIES.
Henrietta Robinson, Long a Prisoner,
Never Told Her Name.

Never Told Her Name.
Newburg, N. Y.-Henrietta Robinson,
who was known as the "veiled murder
ess," and whose name was assumed,
died at the Matteawan State Hospital
the other morning.
According to the only clue she ever
gave to her identity she belonged to
OF of the English titled families. This
much Of her secret was CLEANED by hos
pital physicians about a year ago.
Securely sewed in her needle case
the authorities found, after her death,
a locket and a worn piece of newspaper
upon which was written:
"When first I saw this world OF Joy
and pain,
Assailed by doubt that eve will re-
main,
I wondered what it meant to live to
The question oft I pondered, but in
vain"
Of late years she had been visited by
no person but her attorney, who saw
her once in about five years. She re-
ceived a box at Christmas from a Phil
adelphia woman, whose identity the
hospital authorities refuse to diVulge.
AS no one claimed the body she was
buried in the hospital cemetery.
When it was apparent she was going
to die, she was urged to reveal her
identity, but refused. She said she had
kept the secret during the half century
she had been in prison and it would
die with her. -,
Mrs. Robinson vas arrested for the
murder of Timothy flanagan and Cath
crime Lubee in Troy. N. Y, in 1858.
She insisted upon wearing a veil dur
ing her trial. though urged to remove
it by the Judge and Martin 1. Town
send, her attorney. She was convicted,
sentenced to be hanged and sent TO
Sing Sing in 1855. Her sentence was
committed and in 1873 she was sent to
Auburn. About fifteen years ago she
was removed to the MatteaWan Hospl-
pal for the Criminal Insane.
She was a quiet prisoner, n or late
years had spent her time in making
lace. which she wore. The hospital
records show that she was seventy
eight years old. but on her last birth
day anniversary she said she was
eighty-nine.

NEW YORK STATE CENSUS
Enumeration Of People in the Me-
tropolis and Other citi's.
Comparison of New York With Other
Large Cities Of the World
Growing Rapidly.

New York City.-All preliminary ar
engagements for taking the 1905 census
of New York, city and State, have been
perfected, although the actual work
Of counting noses will not begin
until June l.. Thomas Edwin Brown.
Jr., Supervisor for New York County,
has opened Offices at No. $50 Nassau
street. This census will be taken in
quicker time and at less cost than any
previous me-.
Estimating on the figures Of the last
census, it is believed that New York
will show a population Of nearly four
millions. Of, these a little less than
two millions are housed on the island
Of Manhattan; Brooklyn will be cred
tied with about 100000, the Bronx
with $4,000, Queens with about 200,-
900 and Richmond with about 10000.
Amazing Is it may seem. it has been
figured out that New York City's pop
ulation increases at the rate Of three
per cent. a year, adding more than 100,-
OOO SOulS LII CNCly IWSlNS IL
equivalent to the absorption Of a city
as big as Scranton, Pa. It is rapidly
overtaking London, England, which in
the census of 1901 had 4,537.000 per-
sons, and in the course Of no very long
time Manhattan Borough alone will
pass Paris, France, which in that year
had 2,714,OO0.
AS for American cities, it is so far
ahead that none Of them can possibly
catch up. Allowing to Chicago, ILL.,,
and Philadelphia, Pa, the same rate
of growth New York City has enjoyed,
the former will count only 100000
this year and Philadelphia 100000.
Under a statute passed last March.
the entire work Of this years State
census will be in charge Of the Secre-
tary Of State, but the actual work will
be under the control Of W. G. Hunt,
head of the population division of the
Federal Census Bureau, who has been
loaned to the State by the National
Government. A supervisor has been
appointed for each Of the counties, and
MI. Brown has the work Of this me-.
Mr.. Brown will have twelve assist
ants, chosen from the Senatorial dis
|. ricts, and each Of these assistants will
have charge of one-twelfth Of the city.
These, in turn, will have direction OF
the en~umerators, on the basis of one
for every election district, numbering
nearly 900 in all.
This year the cost will be unusually
small. only 100000 having been ap,
propriated for the whole State. That
is why the Secretary of State has or
dered that the work shall begin on
June 1 and be finished in two weeks.
although the statute permits all OF
May and June. Each enumerator will
receive 50 a day and one cent for every
name he records. These men are cho'
sen from the election districts, but 1T
ness is made a first requisite.
No attempt will be made to gather
industrial figures in the census. The
main duty will be to find out just ! :.
many persons live in New York, and
upon the findings will depend the re,
apportionment Of the State into Sena-
torial and Assembly districts.
