Washimitok, July 17.- The rough
official count of the population of
New York city, completed by the cen

1,513,501, -which is an increase of
25.40 per cent, over the census returns
or 1BS0, -which gave tho population as
1,200,299, and au increase of 28 per
cent, during the decade.
In 1870 the population was 912,292,
and in 1800, MKi,G5S. The percentage
of increase from 1S00 to 1S70 was,
therefore, 17 per cent, Supt. Porter
said to-day that this is the only
estimate made b the census or the

one estimate by the supervisor, but
that was based upon insufficient data.

Cleveland, Ohio, July 17. The
manager of the Bochmke Wire Co.,
secured a warrant yesterday for the
arrest of a yonng man named Edward
Folk, who had formerly been an agent
in the employ of the Boehmke Co.,
charging him with embezzling 3,000.
Constable Lally had the warrant
placed in his hands this morning.
He went at once to 435 Columbus
street, where Folk boards, and found
the young man in the saloon beneath.
Folk took the matter very coolly, and
asked permission to go to his room
and change his clothes. Lally accom
panied and sat on the bed while Folk
busied himself with his clothing. At
length when he was ready, Lally
started for the door and Folk fol
lowed. Just as the constable opened the
door, he heard a shot directly behind
him, and fearing that his prisoner had
opened fire on him, he rushed down
to the street. lie returned after a
while, and found Folk with a bullet
hole in his head. He died before a
nhvsician could be summoned. Folk
was popular in socieiy, and chose
death rather than arrest.

Omaha, Neb., July 17. - Major St
A. D. Balacombe, late chairman of the
board of public works, and former
editor of the Omaha Republican.
to-day made public an interesting
story about Henry M. Stanley, which
has never found its way into print
Along in the seventies Stanley acted
as war correspondent ot the Now York
Herald, during tho Indian hostilities,
then in progress on the western
frontiers.
When he finished this work he came
to Omaha, and made his headquarters
at the Republican oftice, where he
slept in the press room. After re
maining iu Omnha abont a year he
went to Europe, and nothing more
was heard from him for a long time.
One day Mr. Balacombe received a
tetter from the Greek consul at New
York city, staling that an American
named Henry M. Stanley, and repre
senting himself jis a person of im
portance, had become engaged to a
Greek lady of rank in Athens, and
refencd her father to Mr. Balacombe,
among others, Tor his antecedents.
Mr. Stanley at that timer did not
bear such a" reputation in Omaha ci3
would recommend him as the son-in-law
of a person of rank, and Mr. Bala

A fad in writing paper is what is
called lovers stationery. It is fino
note paper elegantly tinted, the most
fashionable shade being light pink.
The watermark, to be detected by
holdiug tiic sheet up to the light, is a
blending of two hearts pierced by au
arrow. In the lower corner of each
fourth ptige (or reverse of each second
half-sheet) appears what at first sight
looks life a blemish. But this is the
charming feature of the novelty; it is
the kissing sjiot, for here the corre
spondent presses his or her lips, and
thus a salute is wafted to the absent
lover. The kissing spot is about the
size of a 25-ccnt piece, and is covered
with a thin aromatic gum that im
parts to the lip3 a pleasant odor and
taste.

New York, July 17. The Eceniny

is eminent fitness in the project to
make General Fremont's last resting

gained all his prominence in the great
west, when it was a trackless, untrod
den waste, and is more closely allied
with its early days of progress, than
with any other section of the country.
He always believed that himself,
and regarded the presidency of Cali

tho greatest honors of his life. Cali
fornia he looked upon as his home,
and the members of his family who
have been consulted, agree that Gol

be complied with. It does not take

Special liy Thk United muss.
PomitVND, Or., July 17. This
morning Henry Summerfield, a com
mercial traveler doing business be
tween San Francisco, this city and the
sound, informed a Telegram reporter
that he imagined the Kneally mystery
to be solved, ne showed the reporter
a letter dated Springfield, jtfass., con
toining a small slip from a SpringGeld
paper, making the announcement that
on the day preceding its publication,
a man giving his name a3 Patrick H.
Dolan, died at the county hospital of
Bnghts disease. He was conscious
up to within a few moments of his
demise and stated to an attendant that
he wished to make a confession of a
great crime to some Catholic clergy
man. Dolan in his confession stated that
he formerly lived in Oregon, and in
the latter part of lbab, he and another
man murdered a stranger in an old
hotel foundation in Portland. There
is no reason to doubt that the de
ceased was one of the two who cut
Thomas Kneally to death, in tho base
ment ot the Villard hotel, now the
Portland.
In his confession, Dolan made no
allusion as to how he managed to get
away from here. In fact he stated no
more than that he murdered a man in
tho hotel basement here.
The efforts of'the Portland police to
capture the assassin or assassins, were
untiring for months. JNumerous ar
rests were made, but the fearful crime
could not be fastened upon any one
taken into custody. Chief detective
Gritzmacher, who was captain of po
lice on the 7th day of November, 18SG,
stated that he well remembers that
the detectives had their work centered
upon two men. "When asked as to
whether one of them was Patrick Do
lan, he replied that then he was not
personally engaged upon the case, but
notwitlistanding that, the name is fa
miliar to him.
Judge Stearns, when spoken to rela
tive to the Kneally murder, stated to a
reporter of this paper this afternoon,
that he distinctly remembers one of
the suspects of the crime to havo been
named Dolan, but it had escaped his
memory until refreshed. There is no
doubt, however, that there are many
who will confess to having known the
self-confessed murderer in his life
time.
A Distinguished Devil.
Few uewapapers in Georgia can
boast of such a "devil" as the one in
the oflice of the Macon county Citizen.
He was once a representative in the
Georgia legislature from "Warren
county, and spent two, or perhaps
four, years in that capacity. He says
he was a member "when they turned
all tho niggers out. and dem was bad
days. But they resot urn again an
paid um up for lost time, and dat
made things even." Tiring of politics,
he says he turned his attention to
religion and entered the ministry,
where "de pickin's have been only
middlin'." Bending under the weight
of 70 years, he has now gone into "de
printin' business." Atlanta Consti

Miss Louise Harrison is cashier. She
was alone in the office just after tho
motor train had carried a load of
passengers from the landing to Hotel

up and found a pistol in her face, held
by a man with a handkerchief over his

He said he would shoot her if she
made a sound, and then in a nervous
manner he went through the money
drawer. He only found ninety cents,
however, failing to pull ont the drawer
far enough to secure $30 or $-10 in
gold in the back compartment, and
after cautioning tho girl on pain of
death, against making an outcry, he
disappeared in the darkness.
All this time, the watchman had
been sitting about fifteen feet from
the girl's desk on the wharf, outside,
and as soon as he was notified of the
occurrence, he made search for the
man. The robber begged the girl's
pardon before he left and said that he

give a good general idea of the river.
The head of Bristol bay was visited,
and tho mouth of the Isaknek river
examined. One of the Walrus group
was located by observations on the
shore by artificial process, and a run
ning survey was made as the group
was passed. Two or three islands and
several rocks were mapped out.
The ship went through Hagemeister
channel, which was found all right
and simple enough if there had been
no charts to mislead. The Tauskok
vim was ascended a dozen or 13 miles
above "Good News bay," by which
was gained somo experience in middle
grounds and sand bars. The ship was
managed to be kept alloat, however,
and a channel was found at last.
The vessel arrived at uunaiasKa a
week before the date of tho letter, to
be coaled. The Araao. Bear, Dora
and Karluk, were in port at that
time. The St. Paul arrived on the
morning of the 23rd of Juno. Captain
Tanner expected to pull out iu a
short time for Bristol bay, whcro5ie
expected to work up a little more ex
perience. Port Harden, just above cape Strogs
roll, was one of tho problems on hand.
Port Molterand Herenden bay will
also receive his attention on this
trip.
