Enumerator Burris Encounters a Puz-
aIing Task.
The census returns for Wilmington
have all been shipped to Washington,
and they will probably show the city to
contain 61, 600 inhabitants. District No
80 contains the largest number of inhabi-
tants of any in the city. II combines
that portion of the city south of Tenth,
east of Poplar. north of Eighth streets,
and west of the Brandywine creek. Ed.
mund D. Shortlidge, enumerator for this
district, obtained the census of 3,4S9
souls, one of whom, an old colored wo-
man, is over ITO years old.
John w. Burris. enumerator of Dis
trict No. 10, has communicated with
Supervisor Wiley. saying that he can
not obtain intelligent answers to his
questions in the county almshouse, and
he has to depend solely on an interview
with each inmate, some of whom are deaf
and others ignorant He also states that
he can find no record of the ages, dates
Of entries or anything pertaining to the
inmates.
Superintendent Guthrie says that a
complete register of the almshouse is
kept and that Burris had full access to
st, but was advised to question all the
inmates to have the record verified.
Enumerator Burris denies having
had access to the register, and
the census officials in this city are
inclined to believe his statement. Mr.
Guthrie keeps complete register, how :
ever, and when an inmate dies, an
announcement of the aame Is made in
his monthly report, together with the
date Of admission, age, nationality, sex
and color of the deceased.

Haven Sure of the Game
The Wilmington Club presented n
game to the New Havens Yesterday on

responsible for the loss of the game.
The contest was close. notwithstand-
ing New Haven made four runs on err
rors. Carl made three on third base
heaY two at second; Newell one
IN centre field. and every one
OF them was costly. Although four runs
were made On these, Wilmington might
yet have won the game If Newell had
played as he ought. In the ninth inning
with no one out he made base hit and
went to second on a short passed ball.
He saw that the ball was within two feet
OF Hoftord, but tried to make third, and
OF course, was thrown out Succeeding
plays would easily have brought him
home. Manager Simmons fined him, end
he deserved it.
Anderson pitched great game. al
though SO poorly supported, and by good
base running tied the score in the
seventh inning. New Haven made It's
winning run in the ninth with only one
man out.
Horner pitched three innings for New
Haven, but was hit by pitched ball on
the left arm in the third inning and was
forced to retire. Gilliland succeeded him
and pitched good game.

game for Wilmington. In the sixth
inning Corcoran made wonderful one

WASHINGTON, June 26 -All day long the
war over the silver bill rage, hercely in
the house Mr. Morse Mass regarded the
senate bill as q new outbreak Of the 6as
money or greenback craze which had
swept over the country some years ago.
Mr. Taylor dlls.) opposed the senate bill
and charged that it was being pushed by
the most disgraceful lobby ever in tho
Capitol. Hardly a corner outside Of the
hall Of the house could be turned without
running against some Of them. He was
for measure that would bring the two
metals together at the shortest possible
time and Tint would take the whole
product % the country 1t seemed to him
that the house bill should satisfy the silver
men.
Mr. Williams (Ills) charged that the
president had sent men here threatening a
veto il a free coinage bill was passed.
Mr.. Bayne CPa.) and Mr.. BrOsms pal
opposed the senate bill Mr. Mckinley in
closing the debate said that the question OF
today was whether the financial system OF

posed the senate amendments because he

hundreds of spiders have been made by
Messrs. G.. W and L. g. Psckham. Evil
dence was given that the faculty of
nmeli is fairly developed in all but
three out of twenty-six species, but tho
position of the organ of smell was not
found and is not known. Loud sounds
wer e apparently unpe-ceived; the Epe-
irids were sensitive TO the sound Of a
tuning fork, while the spiders that do
not make webs gave no heed 20 it.
love Of offspring was manifested in all
spiders by esgerness TO receive back
cocoons within twenty-four hours,
though few recognized them after a
longer period, and none seemed able to
distinguish their own cocoons from
another spiders or from pith balls of
the same size. Sight appeared 10 be
good. though from Familiarity only
through touch, eocoons were found
with difficulty even when within three
fourths Of an inch. The color sense
seemed fairly developed. with prefer
ence for red. The authors diseredis
