Russian General Charged with Plot
ting His Seeming Assassination.

MOSCOW, Nov. HIT is now de-
clared that General Rhelnbot, the pre-
feet of police. was himself the author
of the plot against his own life, his
purpose being to retrieve his sinking
fortunes and TO stave off retirement,
which had been decided upon.
The theory is supported by certain cir
cumstantial evidence. General Rhein-
bot at the time the bomb was throwil
vas following an unusual path ON foot
through narrow alleys. The bomb eX-
ploded in Il manner described as high
ly suspicious. Pieces picked up on the
spot show II to have been nothing more
than an imitation bomb. perfectly
harmless. 1t failed to explode until it
had rolled to the opposite side of the
street. Il safe distance from the pre-
feet. The original theory was that the
bomb did not go OFF, because the dy-
Mantle in it was frozen. Now the po-
ice say it was Il fuse bomb, AID the
Social Reyolutionlsts discarded such
missiles long ago.
1t is further remarked that in shoot
ing the bomb thrower dead after he
had been seized by the police General
Rheinbot removed Il possible danger OF
having his scheme disclosed through
the mans confession. Rheinbot justi-
fies and explains his act by saying thai
the bomb thrower was at the time
struggling to escape and that he also
fired at the project. but the revolver
which the man is alleged to have used
has not been found. 1t is declared that
the mar did not have Il revolver. that
he fired at nobody and that lie had
been promised that he would be al
lowed to escape.

SCHOOL CENSUS FINISHED.
There Are About 1000 Children of
School Age in Fifth Ward.

The police here have finished the
school census. There are about 1000
children in the fifth ward of the bor-
ough. OF these 1900 are in the in
stitutfon at Mt. Loretta, 200 at st.
Michael's Home, Greenridge, and
1890 outside who are of school age.
The cards are all ready and will be
sent to the Board of Education to be
tabulated.
1t is expected that the entire bor-
ough will be all finished by the last
of this week. The work was all done
by the patrolmen under the direction
of a captain in each precinct. Asso-
ciate Superintendent Shallow has had
the work in charge for the Board of
Education. This is the first school
census that has ben taken in New
York city in nine years and a house
to house canvas was made. Each
policeman was furnished with cards
which, when filled out, showed the
name and age of each person between
four and sixteen years of age, wheth-
er attending private or public school.
AT the school at Mt. Loretta the
officials at that institution were re-
CURED to fill out their own cards and
send them in. The aim of the Board
of Education in taking these census
was to get IN account of the city chill
dren between school age and to make
sure that no child is evading an edu-
cation. Another purpose was to see
to it that the physically disabled may
be provided with educational facili-
ties. This census not only gives the
name, age and addresses of the chill
dren, but also the physical draw
backs.
Through this census the city has
come into possession of much inter-
esting, novel and uncommon informa-
ton concerning it's juvenile popula-
ton. The work done here was done
nder Sergeant John Cook, who is act
ing captain at the sub precinct here.

An Interesting and Valuable Old Docu-
ment.-The Baltimore american of Wednesday
said: Governor Warfield and Comptroller
Atkinson yesterday, at the formers office in
the Fidelity Building, perused with much in
terest and pleasure the indenture of the North
ern Central Railway Company to the State of
Maryland, which was dated January 9th, 1856
The indenture has been among the States
securities in the Safe Deposit and Trust Com
pany and has been removed for the time being
so that the annuity which it represents can be
sold. the State Board of Public Works having
recently decided to advertise it for sale.
"The indenture is neatly engrossed and the
interest in the document, naturally. attaches
to the value of the States lien on the Northern
Central Railway, the annuity of which is
worth about So. 900 900. Mr.. John P. Kennedy,
then pesident of the road signed the document
for the Northern Central Railway. The wit
nesses to the signature were Judge William
Baltimore city, and by Jabez D. Pratt. COM
missioner of Pennsylvania. for the State of
Maryland. The seal of the company is attested
by Robert s. Rollins, as secretary to the pre-
sident.
THE indenture was first filed for record in
the Clerks Office for Baltimore county, Henry
NJ. Fitzhugh, then Clerk of the Court, placing
his stamp of record upon the paper on January
9th, 1855, the date of its issuance. The time
of recording (5.15 o'clock P. NJ }, also appears
upon the paper. The indenture also shows
that it was filed for record in Baltimore city !;
in Dauphin county, Pa; Cumberland county,
Pa; York county, Pa; Northumberland coun-
ty, Pa, and Perry county. Pa, all of these
representing the sections through which 1.-THE
road ran its trains"
