The Census Epidemic.

From the Chicago Journal.
The census row between St. Paul and
Minneapolis has proved infectious. The
city of West Superior, Wis. accuses the
citizens of Duluth of having padded the
returns. Who could have imagined n lit
tie thing like the census was going to set
everybody by the ears? Rival cities are
exhibiting decidedly more temper over
the matter than the manageable and un-
manageable ladies wbo do not want to
tell their age.

MOTH FLIES SEIZED THE TOWN.
They Made tho Walks Slippery and
Drove Folk Indoors.

A plague of moth flies or, as they are also
styled, 'eIectric-light bugs" invaded Pottsville,
Pa, Wednesday night and literally covered
everything. They SO filled the electric light
globes al. to dim the light Pedestrians had to
wave them aside with. violent gestures. They
piled themselves half an inch thick on
doorsteps and windows. They covered tele-
graph poles and awning posts till the latter
looked as If they had been painted with a
heavy coat OF ochre. So dense were they upon
the pavements that people slipped down upon
them. Porches of hotels and residences were
cleared of their legitimate occupants The
pests died by millions before morning and left
nauseating odOr in the air
The bug causing all this trouble is about one
half an inch long and resembles the ordinary
miller, except that it does not have the white,
dusty cover of that fly. Its color is a dark vel
low with brown spots. While not SO malicious
in its attacks as the mosquito its swift dashes
are nevertheless extremely annoying

THE SUGAR TRUST.
Gossip About the Proposed Reorganiza-
ton OF the Concern.

The statement has appeared that plan for
the reorganization of the sugar trust into q
legal corporation had already been practically
agreed upon, and Gen. Tabor, the attorney
general of New York. has been made to appear
as advising the trusts officers as to the precise
form the organization should take. Treasurer
Searle denied yesterday in New York that any
completed agreements had been reached, or
that any advice had been received from Gen.
Tabor except as to the requirements of law
that they might conform to them in the plan
OF reorganization adopted. Gen. Roger A.
Pryor, who was associated with the attorney
general in the prosecution OF the trust. con-
iirmed the treasurer's statement Such con-
soiidation as the state statute provides TOR the
sugar trust managers are believed to have in
view, but according to Treasurer Searles no de-
tailed plan has yet been adopted. The property
OF the North River Refining Company, which
is now in the receivers hands, has been taken
by the city for a park. The appraised price
viii be paid to the receiver, and after deduct
ing his fees and legal expenses he will pay
over the proceeds to the stockholders of the
company. Then the receiver will be dis
charged.

Objections to Army Changes.

dent Harrison and Secretary Proctor are con-
sidering proposition TO abolish the present
system of division commands in the United
States army. leaving the business to be trans
acted by direct communication with Washing
ton. A Chicago dispatch to the New York H,r-
aid today says: Gen. Williams of division head
quarters hore said in relation to this plan last
night that he seriously questioned the practical
ollity OF such move. The division Of the Mis-
souri, the great central portion of the United
States, extending from the British possessions
to Mexico, contains the departments of the
Missouri, of the Platte, of Texas and of Dakota.
We're this division abolished, he said, there
would be confusion in moving troops and the
slight advantages gained by abolishing divisions
would be more than overbalanced by the con-
fusion that would certainly follow in an emer-
gency where the troops were called upon.
Chicago would cease to be military head

Mr.. Mudd's SANDER Upon South WASH

To the Editor of THE EVENING STAR:
Enough voters OF the fifth Maryland district,
temporarily in Washington, went ont to the
various polling places last year and cast their
ballots for Sidney E. Mudd of Bryantown to
enable Congress to place that gentleman in
Barnes Compton's seat by plurality of 154,
though Compton was elected by plurality of
1871. / venture to suggest that had ii been con-
jectured that this young man would turn upon
those who elevated MIN, to champion the cause
of the railroads against the citizens of Wash
ington, they would have seen TO it that Mr.
Mudd should be allowed to continue to practice
law in his country town. Especially exasperat-
ing is it to find the man you have trusted plead
ing the cause of your enemy, taking trouble to
asperse the character Of yourself and your
neighbor. calling their homes ''the abode Of
filth and crime and unhealthfulness, simply
because these citizens object to having the pub
lie streets girded with railroad tracks. It is
not desirable to handle pitch, or even Charles
County Mudd, but from my knowledge of peo-
that the railroads want to take possession of,
venture the prediction that Mudd will be
handled at tee next election. member Of
my family went home last year to vote for
Mudd. Next time this voter will be reinforced
in numbers but they will vote for the other
fellow. The property of the writer, located in
Mr.. Mudd's region OF filth and vice, while bet

Stanley's Faithful Zanzibar Servant.


In an address at Dundee Scotland. recently,
Henry NJ. Stanley recalled an incident of his
Emin relief expedition that reflected credit
upon the intelligence and fidelity of Zanzi-
bari lad who accompanied him on his northern
journey, and who is destined to occupy place
of honor in the household Of the illustrious ex-
plorer. On April of last year. said MIR. Stanley.
they were III camp and were in beautiful oblivion
of what was going on, when their young friend.
who was now behind his chair, whispered to
him something which changed his tactics from
that day to this. Up to the very moment when
this lad had whispered into his ears he was
treating Emin Pasha as a host would treat his
guest, but from the moment the lad leaned
over the chair he assumed command not only
OF their own expedition, but over Emin Pasha
and his entire forces because it was from the
boy that he learned Of a conspiracy that was
fast getting to a head to disarm the expedition
of their rifles, make them prisoners and send
them down TO Khartoum to share the fate of
Lupton Bey.
