ST. LOUIS. June 16-There is very great diseatr
isfaction felt over the census taken here. Gen.
Solomon, Census Supervisor, selected lot Of
friends and strikers for enumerato.s and put them
TO work.
1t is announced that they have completed their
canvass, but from all parts of the city come re-
ports of whole rows of blocks which were not vis-
tied. Solomon Is trying to hold the result
has become pretty generally known
to-day that his report will give ST. Louis popu-
lation of less than $4,000, making only an in
crease of about @, 600 on the census of 10 yean
ago.
The leading business men Lave been trying 70
find some way TO amend the returns but no feas.
ible plan has been discovered as yet. 1a tEa
Since 1870 the city has more than quadrupied
Its area by taking in populous suburbs, and there
has been a comfortable impression prevailing
that the population amounted to half a million,
that figure having been attained two or three
years ago, according to the Directory.

Lou. DORIS Murder.

The right name of the woman killed by
VIM. Condor, who was called Lou. Perry,
or big Lou," was Louisa Dorf.
She was born in Lsterville, West Vir-
ginia, snail town where some of her rel
atives are still living. Her fathers name
was Anthony Dorf river man.
About ten years ago he moved with his
family to Cincinnati, where his two sons,
Charles and Samuel, got into trouble and
were sent to the Penitentiary.
After getting out they again got into
trouble, and finally were driven out of the
city. The old man, being old, was unable
to pay proper attention to his daughter,
the one killed.
Size went from bad to worse, and finally
became low, miserable besotted prosti-
tute. Owing to the high social standing Of
her sister and relatives in West Virginia,
this will be hard blow for them.
The pest mortem examination by DR..
Fairohild revealed the fact that death Was
caused By effusion of blood on the surface
of the brain, resulting from rupture of Q
blood vessel, caused by the blow which
fractured the nasal bone. .f9 .pe
Coroner Carfick began an inquest to-day
at 10 o'clock.
Mr.. ,Clerke, the man who owns the house
at No. 300 West Fifth street, testified that
he saw Condor fussing with the deceased,
and that he went up to them and told them
to go upstairs, which they did. 3
A few minutes later lie heard noise as
If some person fell down stairs. He went
to where the noise came from, and saw
Condor strike the blow with banjo. 'v
