The Governor of Dnkoia Renders Hi* An
unal Report.
The annual report of Governor Louis K
Church, of Dakota, which has just been
printed, is a very full and complete state
ment of the condition and resources of
that Territory. The Governor’s statis
tics relating to the population of Da
kota will be studied with interest by Con
gressmen, who will soon be called upon to
vote on its admission to Statehood. Govern
or Church says that the population of Dakota
in iB6O, according to the national census of
that year, was less than 50. K). In 1870
it was 14,181, showing an increase
during that decade of about 200 per
cent. In 1880 the number of inhabitants
in the Territory amounted to 135,177, or an
addition of 850 per cent, to the popula
tion of the previous census, and five years
later this number had increased, as shown by
a Federal census, to 415,610, a gain of more
than 200 per cent, in the period between the
years 1880 and 1885. There has been nd offi
cial count of the population since the Federal
census of 1885, and the only figures available
for the years 1888, 1887, and 1888 are
estimates, approximately correct, made by
the Commissioner of Immigration, and based
on the public land entries as reported by the
ten United States Land offices within the
Territory. On June 30, 1886, the Commis
sioner estimated the number of Dakota’s
inhabitants at 500,000 souls. A year later,
June 30, 1887, the same authority gave
the Territory a population of 568,477;
and his estimate for the year ending
June 30, 1888, indicates a gain of 63,348,
or a total population to day of 640,823. This,
of course, does not include Indians, Govern
ment employes, or the other inhabitants of
the numerous Indian and military reserva
tions which cover one-fifth of the entire area
of the Territory. Add these and the whole
number of people within the boundary of
Dakota will appro®-h clo=? i JJ,OOO.
Capture of Counterfeiters,
Chief Leif or the (Secret (service of the
Government, with several of his men, has
for the past few days been closing in aronnd
a gang of counterfeiters, who have been
the cause of a great deal of annoy
ance and trouble They were making
bogus money, of a kind that it was almost
Impossible to detect, in dollars and half
dollars. None but experts have thus far
been able to tell the spurious money from
genuine, and only alter it had been carried
some time, when the coin begins to turn
black, can its true value be discovered.
Large quantities of it have been made, and
Erie, Penn., Warren, Penn., Oil City, Penn.,
and Jamestown, N. Y., have been thegrentest
sufferers. Some of the stuff also reached
Buffalo. Seven of the gang are under arrest.
The authorities thought it best to separate
•them, and put them in different jails as
others are wanted.
“Squire” Richardson, one of the men who
is said to have attended to the manu 'acture
of the money, was brought to Buffalo and
taken to the Erie County Jail. Richardson
is fully sixty years of ago, and it is thought
he will “squeal” on the whole party. He
was arrested at Casadaga. N. Y.
More artests are expected. It is impossi
ble taget the names of the gang at present,
as they are scattered in the different county
jails in New York and Pen ns vl vania, and the
Secret Service men will not talk.
Drowned to Save His Bride.
Patrick Waters was married at St. George,
the County seat of Thomas Tucker County,
W. Va., to a charming young lady of that
town, and for a bridal tour the young couple
set out on a trip up the Black Fork River.
Arriving at the junction of Shaffer’s Fork,
they stayed all night at (the house
of a friend, and about eight o’clock
next morning started to cross
the unfinished railroad bridge on a narrow
walk of a single plank. When about half
way over Mrs. Waters became dizzy and,
losing her balance, fell into the river. The
Stream is very high, and the current, always
e v’olerff, was running t-w'-n
--ty miles an hour.
Waters plunged into the river after his
bride and succeeded in reaching her. Grasp
ing her in his arms he attempted to reach the
shore, but he coul l moke no headway against
the violent current and was borne rapidly
away. The heads of the half drowned couple
were seen occasionally as they bobbed above
the waves. Half a mile below the
bridge at Silas Ferry the boat was in mid
stream as Waters and his wife came along,
and they were rescue 1 alter one of the ferry
men had near y io-,t his life.
. W’aters was dead when taken from the
water and his wife apparently so, but> she
was revived after unremitting exertions ex
tending over half an hour.
Three Englishmen Killed.
An explosion occmred at Bris'ol, England,
an board the schoo er United, which was
laden with 310 barrels of petroleam. The
vessel was wrecked and three men who
were at work on board were killed.
►. Burning oil floated on the water and
chused great consternation among shipown
ers, who feared the (lam s would co-n uuni
ca’e to the r own craft. Th force of the ex
plosion was so great as to wreck the wi • dows
in the buildings near the scene of the explo
sion.
The African Slave Trade.
A despat b fr un Lan (bar, Africa, says:
“The British Consular authorities have issued

In which they warn British subjects of
the pena ties which they will meur in
