The similarity of the complaints regarding
the census which come from Chicago and st.
Louis is calculated to produce the impression
that they are merely the outcroppings of the
more or less animated rivalry which is pro-
verbally known to exist between the two
cities. The complaints, however, seem vague
and illusory and until the hundreds of cit
izens'' who are reported to have been over
looked by the enumerators come forward and
demonstrate the fact, it will be idle to talk
about inaccuracy and incompleteness. On
general principles it is to be presumed that the
census-takers in ST. Louis and Chicago were
as capable as those in New York. for instance

While the testing of the upper portion OF
the new Aqueduct to-day by allowing five or
six feet of water to flow through it for twenty
miles or so will in no sense whatever affect the
actual water supply of the city, it will arouse
interest by reason of the fact that it is an
earnest of that which is to come-of the actual
use of the big tunnel for supplying the thirsty
reople of New York with all the water they
want. This is only one of number of tests
which will be made as preliminares to COM

that they will show no defects in the structure,

Tho Oporator's Account.

CINCINNATI, March 28.-The following
is the account sent by the operator from
Jeffersonville: 1.-THE cyclone struck
Louisville in the southwestern portion
and took northwesterly direction. I
only saw the course of it from 18th and
Walnut streets to 18th and Market
streets, from this latter point followed
its course to 7th and the river where it
left the city and striking across the
river reached Jacksonville at the foot
of Spring street. Little damage was
done in Jeffersonville, however"
In Louisville the devastation is ter
rific and the loss of life will certainly
reach hundreds if not thousands. In one
building, at 18th and Market, two
lodges and a dancing school were in
session, there being in the building
perhaps 100 people, not one of which is
thought to have escaped.
'I stood and watched them working
on this ruin and saw six or eight
corpses taken ont in fifteen minutes
There is scarcely anything left that
would indicate this heap of rubbish had
ever been building, and if any of its
inmates escaped it was nothing less tina Il
q miracle. The path of the CYCLIC ne
was about q square and half in width.

An evidence in support of the claim
that the company which is to support

supplied by the announcement that the

WHITE CAP NOTICE.

A Dublin Street Woman Almost
scared Out of Her Wits.
Mrs Michael Bulger, a lady residing on
Dublin street, is greatly worried over a
white cap" notice which she received
yesterday. The letter reads as follows ::
WATERBURY,, March 81, 1890.
This is to notify Mrs Boulger that if
she don't stop trading with Spencer she
will be white capped.
Per order of
WHITE CAP COMMITTEE.
A rude sketch of q skull and cross
bones was printed with rubber stamp
at the head of the sheet and over this
was written in a scrawling hand the
word shepard" 1t is believed that the
notice was sent to Mrs Bulger as joke
by some of the boys living on Dublin
street, but there is no clue to the identity
of the guilty ones.

Piles of Cory Dead strewed Through

LOUISVILLE, March 90, 1 p. m.-The
latest estimate places the dead at 500.
The work of recovering the bodies is 60
ing on but thus far only about thirty
have been identified. It is said that
there were 300 people in the dance hall
that was wrecked. An eye witness
says the scene when the building col
lapsed was terrible. Amid the crashing
of timbers could be heard the shrieks of
the doomed people and to add to the hor-
TOR the building caught fire and burned
like tender.
One pitiful scene was witnessed on
Seventh street. A man and wife and
their three children were buried beneath
the wreck of their home and in full
sight OF the Gro wd all were burned to
death.
Fifteen unidentified bodies are lying
in a heap at the City hall and piles Of
dead and mangled bodies are lying all
