WASHINGTON, ID. c., November T.
W. J. X. Kenney, of New York, called
to-day at the Office Of Superintendent
Porter and presented letter from W.
McM. Speer, private secretary of Mayor
Grant, requesting copies Of the names Of
the persons enumerated by the Federal
enumerators in the Second Ward Of
New York city. This request is based
upon section % Of the census
act, which provides that "upon
the request OF any municipal gov
ernment of any town, village, town
ship, or city, or kindred municipality,
the Superintendent of the Census shall
furnish such government with a copy Of
the names" etc. Referring to the act,
Superintendent Porter said to an Asso-
ciated Press representative that he could
not recognize Speer or any other pri-
vate secretary as a legal representative
Of the municipal government of the city
Of New York, and he certainly would de-
cline to furnish the names requested.
The law, he said, did not either require
or permit it. Mr.. Porter Is OF the
opinion that he should receive commu-
nications such as this direct from the
Mayor. Mr.. Kenny was so informed
and Immediately telegraphed the Mayor
of the action OF the Office.

Brawlev is one Of Charleston's most
prominent merchants, and had been
married eight years and was respected

not like each other and had agreed to
separate. Five days later Mr. Brawley
went to Ohio with his wife's cousin and
married her.

Now his first wife has instituted suit
to set aside the decree of divorce, and
filed q bill of complaint, in which she
states that she never sued for divorce,
and never knew of the suit having been
brought until after the adjournment OF
the term of court when the divorce was
granted, and never consented to have
such suit brought.
OBTAINED by FRAUD.
She further says that the attorney
who brought the suit hes never been
employed by her in any capacity, and to
her knowledge she has never seen HIM.
The divorce, she says, was obtained by
fraud. and she therefore prays that 1t be
annulled. The disclosure OF this will
create a sensation in Charleston, where
Brawley and his wife have been always
held in the highest regard.
