A DEMAND FOR EXACT FIGURES IN Mr..
YOUNG'S DISTRICT.
Funeral of the Late Rush Burgess-ser-
vicesas n City Exocutive-Opening
OF the Colorcd College.
Correspondence OF the Richmond Dispatch.l

PETERSBURG, Va, September 16, 1890.
II is somewhat curiousfact that though
the full census returns from this district
have all been in Washington for some
weeks nothing beyond the estimated
figures furnished by Supervisor Young
have as yet been given to the public.
These estimates were only furnished in
round numbers. The people are anxious
TO know the exact figures for each county
and city. In the official returns for the
First district Prince George county shows
a largo decrease and Surry comfy very
small increase. Both counties fall far be-
low the estimates that had been made for
them.
INFERRED IN BLANDFoRD.
The remains of the late Rush Burgess,
at one time mayor of this city by military
appointment, reached here this morning,
and were Inferred in Blandford cemetery.
Mr. Burgess, though an active republican.
made good executive, and his efforts
were directed to the maintenance OF good
order and the enforcement OF the law IN
the community. He proved himself very
active in personally searching out viola
tons of the laws that came TO his know
ledge, and at times met with experiences
that were not altogether pleasant. lie
made many friends by whom his sad death
Is regretted.

Your correspondent Is assured on the
best authority that the rumors recently
circulated and published rejecting upon

place. held last night, which denounced
said rumors as false in every particular.
WATCHING AND WAITING.
The progress of the deficiency bill IN
Congress is watched with interest by one
or more Of our people, 10 whom money IS

All the military companies IN this CITY,
