A NEW HOAX BTIR3 CP THE
BLACKS OF EARLY COUNTY.
A Report Spread Arnon* Them of
Free Transportation to Africa With
Twelve Months’ Sustenance The
Argument for a New Trial In the
Woolfollc Case In Progress.
Atlanta, Ga., June a—lt seems that
the negroes of Early county are dissatisfied.
A letter addressed to Gov. Gordon was to
day received at the executive office inquir
ing whether free transportation to Africa,
with twelve months’ sustenance, has been
offered colored emigrants. A rumor to
that effect, said the writer, John Cain,
had been circulated among the negroes ot
of his neighborhood. It appears to have
stirred them up considerably. Cain was
exceedingly anxious to know when the
train for Liberia might be expected to pass
Blakely station.

Woolfolk’s case came up again in the

be concluded to-morrow.
COL. ATWOOD’S FUNERAL.
The remains of Charles 8. Atwood were
buried to-day at Oakwood cemetery. Rev.

ducted the services.
DIES FROM HIS WOUNDS.
A short time ago the Colored Men’s Pro
tection Association gave a picnio in the
neighborhood of West View cemetery, just
outside of the city limits, which wound up
in a free fight, lasting for several hours, in
which fifteen or twenty men were shot, cut
or otherwise injured. Several arrests were
made at the time, but the parties were all
discharged, as the proof against them turned
out to be meager and nobody died. In the
course of the row Joe Elliott was shot three
times and stabbed once or twice, and this
morning yielded up the ghost in consequence.
George Roberts, who was one of the
most prominent of the picnickers,
has been rearrested. He says William
Mitchell, another negro, acknowledged
having done the shooting, and Mitchell is
being watched for by the police. The row
appears to have sprung from no particular
cause except mean whisky.

A Corner-Stone Laid—The Cotton Fac
tory- Legislative Candidates.
Americus, Ga., Juno 3.—The corner
stone of the new Baptist church at the cor
ner of Lee and Taylor streets was laid
to-day with appropriate ceremonies. The
whole programme was very interesting, but
the address of Dr. Nunnally of Mercer
university was especially fine. The church
when completed will be a very elegant
structure and will cost about $30,000.
THE ALLIANCE COTTON FACTORY.
Alliance representatives from the coun
ties of Sumter, Lee, Webster, Stewart,
Schley and Marion met in Americus to-day
to definitely locate the alliance cotton fac
tory. They decided to build on the site
offered them by the Lee ton Park
Land Company. The site is on
the line of the Savannah, Amer
icus and Montgomery railroad, just
beyond the corporate limits of Americus.
The $25,000 capital is in sight and work will
begin as soou as a charter is obtained and a
board of directors, who are to be elected on
June 17, can get the work under way.
THE LEGISLATIVE RACE.
The legislative race in Sumter is now
fairly on. Hon. Wright Brady and W. A.
Dodson have been formally announced.
Hon. J. L. Anderson is also considered
definitely in the race. A number of gentle
men, who, it is stated, claim to represent
several sub-alliances in the county,
met to-day and agreed to sup
port CoL A. J. Cutts, chairman
of the county democratic executive
committee, and J. A. McDonald, president
of the county alliance. The News corre
spondent is informed to-night that these
gentlemen have agreed to make the race.
They cannot, however, command the united
support of the alliancemen of the county,
as u number of prominent alliancemen are
active supporters of Mess s. Brady and
Dodson. The five candidates are promi
nent and popular gentlemen, and the race
for the nomination promises to be lively.
The executive committee propose to order
a primary for July 15.
SWIMMING IN WARM WATER.
A Negro of Newnan Makes a Boast
That Has Probably Been Realized.
Newnan, Ga., June 3.—Earnest Nor
wood, a negro porter at the Hotel Virginia,
was drowned while in swimming at Neeley’s
pond, a short distance from the city. He
■was known to be a good swimmer and ex
pert diver. On leaving the hotel Norwood
told several of his companions that
he would divo to the bottom of
Neeley’s pond or be swimming in 1 efore
this time to-morrow.” His foot was caught
in some rubbish in the bottom of the pond,
and it was almost impossible for him to ex
tricate himself. However, after several
repeated struggles he succeeded in
coming to the top long enough to
call for aid from his associates
who were in the pond with him. His negro
friends, not feeling any desire to make
heroes of themselves, declined to go to his
assistance. A drag was secured and his
body was pulled ashore. He seemed to have
suffered intensely, his head having been cut
in several places.

answering to the description, is missing.

test of the saws all the time, and directly
among the flying missiles. The accident is
a very serious one, and will cause the mill
to shut down for dwo or three weeks.

PORTER’S BIG INQUIRY.
A GEORGIAN REFUSES TO ANSWER
A SINGLE QUESTION.
The Superintendent Instructs the Su
pervisor to Lay the Case Before the
Distriot Attorney at Atlanta—Super
visors and Enumerators Prohibited
from Making Public Any of the In
formation Gathered.
Washington, June 3. —Supt. Porter to
day received a telegram from the census
supervisor for the Third Georgia district,
asking “what must a supervisor do a hen
the head of a family absolutely refuses to
give information concerning himself or
familv on any line of inquiry, and further
more forbids the enumerator entering his
premises.” To this Supt. Porter replied,
directing the supervisor to lay all the facts
in the case before the U ailed States dis
trict attorney at Atlanta, and commence
proceedings against the head of the family
under the census act.
RESULTS CAN’T BE GIVEN OUT.
Supt. Pc rter has received a large number
of inquiries as to wnether the results of the
information obtained bv the enumerators
may be made public. He has been informed
that in some sections of the country, espe
pecially in the large cities, some of the
newspapers have sent circulars to the enu
merators asking that they b: furnished with
the same daily reports of the results as are
sent to the supervisors and the superintend
ent. In this way a rough estimate of the
population may be ascertained as soon as
the enumerators finish their work. In re
sponse to these inquiries Supt. Porter to
day issued the following order to each enu
merator and supervisor in the whole coun
try:
The thirteenth section of the census act of
March 1, 1889. makes It a misdemeanor, punish
able by a fine of SSOO, for any supervisor or
enumerator to communicate to any person not
authorized to receive tbe same any information
{ained by him in the performance of his duties,
t is not, therefore, in the discretion of the
supervisors or enumerators to make public
or give out any part of the information
obtained by them. This applies with
equal force to the local authorities
newspapers and individuals. In no case will the
superintendent grant permission to divulge any
such information. No tabulations whatever of
returns must be made by the supervisors and
no rough estimates given out. The schedules
should be sent to Washington immediately
atter their examination has been made by the
supervisor to discover omissions and errors.
See page 6 of instructions to enumerators,
"Penalty for Disclosing Information.”
IRON AND STEEL WORKERS.
The Annual Convention Now In Ses
sion at Pittsburg.
Pittsburg, June 3.—Tthe annual con
vention of the Amalgamated Association of
Iron and Steel Workers was opened at
Turners’ hall, in this city, this morning,
with 2,600 delegates from all parts of the
country. The session was taken up almost
entirely with perfecting the organization
and nothing of interest transpired. The
most important matter to be considered, as
usual, will be the adoption of anew scale of
wages. The provision of the new scale,
whioh will probably not be presented to the
convention for several days, are guarded
with great secrecy by the members of the
wages committee.
COL. LESTER AT A DINNER.
The Hard Workers of the House Have
a Jolly Good Time.
From the Beta York Sun.
Representative Niedringhaus of St. Louis
conceived the idea a day or two ago of
selecting a party made up of the hardest
worked men in the House and giving them
an evening’s entertaiument. He thereupon
made an examination of the Record to find
the men who attend the largest number of
roll calls and who are always present
at committee meetings, and Bent them
invitations to a dinner at Woodley Inn, in
the suburbs of the city. Every man in
the House endeavored to get an invita
tion when he got wind of what was coming,
but Mr. Niedringhaus restricted his cards
impartially to those who have been the real
hard workers of the session. This number
was not very large, so his partv contained
just enough members to make things pleas
ant. On Thursday morning, just as the
rising sun made a saffron background for
the beautiful outlines of the oapitol, a
dozen haoks might have been seen
winding down the northern hills. The
rattle of hoofs on the asphalt pavements
startled the colored residents, who
rushed out of their houses to see an early
funeral, as they supposed. It was hardly a
fuueral. It was only Representative Nied
ringhaus and the "other workers of the
House returning from their all-night session
at Woodley Inn. Some pretty big stories
are told of wiiattook place at the “dinner.”
Tho party had no sootier disembarked at
the inn than Representative Coleman of
Louisiana went to tho piano and began to
sing plantation songs. Mr. Coleman could
mane twice $5,000 in a negro minstrel
troupe, and so it is no wonder that he
stirred tbe party up. Gov. Gear of lowa
listened until he could Btand it no longer.
Before he knew it he was in the middle of
the floor dancing a breakdown, while an
admiring audience screamed their delight
and shouted for him to keep on. Then Mr.
Coleman started in again and sang until
Capt, Boutelle declared there was no more
danger of floods now that the mouth of the
Mississippi was open. By the time dinner
was announced the crowd was in high
spirits, and between every two courses there
were some impromptu speeches. Ben
Butter worth sang “The Horse-shoe
Over the Door” and “Moriarity”
and told the sad tale of the twins who were
smothered to death during the row over
their christening. Mr. Burrows also took a
lugubrious view of life. He was in a fine
voice, and he moved to teare the assembled
multitude by singing the ditty of Clementini,
who was drowned while tending ducks.
Capt. Allen of Michigau, who has a voice
which would have discounted that of the
bull of Bashan, was called on for a speech,
but even he could not be heard above the
din; nor did Gen. Cutcheon fare better,
though from the hight of his six feet four be
waved his napkin and shouted
louder than when he hauled Bynum
before the speaker’s desk. They did quiet
down to hear Bouteile’s tar’s song, atid
Roswell P. Flower’s piping voice was able
to pierce the noise with volley after volley
of puns, quips, and gibes. Mr. Mills pro
tested that he could not sing, and so they
sang the “Star Spangled Banner” to him.
The others in the party were Messrs. Gros
venor. Springer, Morrow, McKenna, Baker,
Morrill, McCreary, Henderson, Stewart,
Haich, Caine, Belknap, Fuyne, Thompson,
Hermann, Spooner, Carter, McComas,
Brickner, Moffitt, Catchings, Lester, Bland,

Who Knows?
From the Boston Globe.
Oh, you cannot trust appearance!
Tho'the countenance give clearance
To all sorrow and all care,
If the heart you could but gaze on,
Oft you’d stare in still amaze on
The gray ruin'that is there.
Oft the merry jest it flashes
Like a flame from dust and ashes;
And the laughter that one hears.
Could we trace it to its fountain,
' Fed by streams from pride’s cold mountain.
Would seem sadder than all tears.
Oh, the lives that seem the gladdest
Are, oftentimes, alas! the suddo.t;
And the radiant smiles th it wreathe
Beauty's ljps may be misguiding—
All ber gayety but hiding
Bitter wounds that lie beneath!
And the laughter and the lightness.
All tbe sparkle and the brightness
That beam out #0 bold and brave.
To illume mv lady’s face there.
Like the flowers in yonder space there,
Spring, mayhap, to bide a grave!
EXAMINING CENSUS-TAKERS.
Home of Mr. Frankland’s Questions
Puzzlers—How the Work is Done.
From the Chicago News.
Supt. A. E. Frankland of the school cen
sus bureau, has more to look after than a
candidate for nMerman in the first ward,
while Samuel, his son, is as busy as the
father. The taking of the biennial school
census tegan yesterday morning. While
one batch of canvassers was out asking
people pertinent questions, another batch
was trying to answer questions the veteran
examiner asked them.
“S’pose somebody ssks you what this cen
sus is for, what will you say 1” queried Mr.
Frankland, running his fingers through his
shaggy locks.
The prospective canvasser looked down
at his shoes and sa.d nothing. Ninety-nine
out of every hundred persons in Chicago
could have done no batter, perhaps, but
Supt. Fraukland.made the poor fellow feel
as if he alone was the only man in Chicago
who couldn’t tell why the census was being
taken.
“Well, It’s in accordance with the law
which provides for a per capita tax to be
expended by an appropriation pro rata for
each child in the state who can’t go to
school,” was the quizzical reply, for Mr.
Frankland is a well-known jester.
The man caught his breath and indicated
that be understood.
“Very well, then; step back and let me
get at tbe next. ”
"I must scare those fellows half to death
or 1 can’t get any work out of them,” said
tbe examiner in an aside.
A tall young man with a face as red as a
Kentucky pumpkin stepped up, and the
superi. .tendeut asked him a number of ques
tions touching his qualifications for the
work. The method of taking the census a
block at a time was explained. He wound
up with:
“I don’t want you to miss a single bsrn,
shed, smokehouse or chicken coop where
people live. Get every living thing and see
if they can read or write English, are deaf,
dumb, blind, or go to school.”
“Suppose some won’t answer the ques
tions?”
“Don’t s’pose anything of the kind. Go
at each one nicely and explain your busi
ness. If you make people think you are
after their pianos, cows, or waut to borrow
their clothes-wringer, of course they’il not
talk.”
Tho man gave way for Daniel O’Connor,
who swaggered in.
“This fellow knows more than I do,” said
Mr. Frankland, aside.
Daniel removed his hat, and the room
was bathed in a sudden glory. His hair
was slightly auburn. Not having his
smoked glasses with him, Mr. Frankland
told the man to put on his hat.
“ W here do you reside?’
“What’s daU”
“Where do you live?’
“In de t’urteent’ ward.”
“Did you ever do this work before?”
“Naw, buttcher kin put it down dat I
knows how.”
“Did you hear my discourse yesterday?”
“D’yez mean de talk ye gib us ’bout hows
to git de stuff i”
“Certainly, my address.”
“Well, I heard it.”
“Did you understand it?”
“I think I did.”
“Well, my good fellow, this goes beyond
the peradventure of a thought,” and Daniel
was excused.
Jacob Schnitzberg looked suspicious and
Mr. Frankland explained to him that his
book was not to score a base ball game in
but to collect the census. He closed by say
ing:
“Now, I know just exactly how many
people are living iu that district, but I want
to see if you can get them. Now go.”
The entire day was consumed in this man
ner.
A Celebrated Case.
From the Chicago Tribune.
Louis Carranza, a Chilian lawyer, was at
the Palmer house over Sunday, and told
the particulars of the most celebrated legal
case ever instituted in South America:
“Two years ago,” said Mr. Carranza, “a
Chilian planter, becoming tired of bis wife,
aud growing despondent over various mat
ters, quietly disappeared from his residence
at Chilian Viego. His wife was the only
person who knew of his absence. She at
once set about securing possession of his
property,
“At that time cholera was raging over all
Chili. This woman took advantage of the
epidemic to carry oat her scheme. She got
the body of a victim of the disease, had it
secretly removed to her house, where it was
placed in a burial casket, and then caused
tho report to be circulated that her huseand
had died of cholera. Burial quickly fol
lowed death at that time, and the nature of
the disease did not allow of the usual
fuueral ceremonies. The woman experienced
little difficulty in getting the required cer
tificates of death and burial. Then she
donned widow’s weeds and erected a head
stone over the grave of the man she had
buried. The stone was inscribed: ‘To the
Memory of the Best of Husbands.’
“In a few weeks the planter was almost
forgotten. That was the end of the first
act. T hen the supposed widow, armed with
the certificates of her husband’s death and
burial, applied to the court for power to
administer the estate in her own name.
After the usual legal process this permission
was granted.
“Then commenced the third act. The
supposed widow quickly converted all the
property into cash and hid the proceeds.
April 1 last the husband, who had been car
rying on business in Concepcion all this
time, unexpectedly appeared in Chillian
Viego. He had come home to ask forgive
ness of his wife and to look after his prop
erty. But the woman would have nothing
to do with him. Tbe husband promptly
beg in measures to regain possession of his
wealth; the woman prepared to fight hi3
efforts. He has engaged the services of
half the lawyers in Coili; she has retained
as many more. It is the straugeat case we
have ever had in Soutn America. Every
one is interested iu the outcome.”
