peared in this charming play last even

as Mariana, the ambitious street singer,
although a stran ger here created a good
impression and her singing is of very
high order and justified all that was
claimed for her. Mr. Smith as Dan
Cesar the adventurer made an in
staneous hit and captured the large au-
dience from the start, his heroic
methods make him favorite from the
start; he played the part with force and
intelligence. Miss Redding will have nc
cause to complain of the business here

Dennison After a Compromise.

BRANFoRD, May 2s.-William DENIM
son, the barber who swindled number
of Branford young men on a bogus
watch scheme, and who is now in New
Haven Jail awaiting trial, is making an
effort to settle the case by compromising
with his victims. 1t has been ascer-
tanned that the amount Of money he OBJ
tanned here was all of $3.50. To one of
his victims Dennison offered to settle
for two dollars. He had obtained five
dollars. To another, whom he swindled
out of twenty-one dollars, he offered
five dollars and the offer was taken.
Yesterday Dennison telegraphed to Am
sterdam, N. Y, for money with which
to settle the case. 1t is thought that he
can settle the case against him here for
about $500 and then he can take his
chance of settling with the state attor-
ney. There are $3.50 costs in the case,
including the expenses incurred by
Sheriff Nettleton, who made severel
journeys to obtain his prisoner from
New York and New Jersey.

Results of Reckless Driving by a
Birmingham Man.
A possibly fatal accident occurred
last evening at the corner of Hawkins
and Ninth streets, Birmingham. A
young man known as "King" Gordon,
residing on Smith street, and the owner
of a spirited horse, drove around the
streets several times at fast gait, at
tracing a good deal of attention on
account of his recklessness. 1t soon be-
came evident that he was under the in
fiuence of liquor. On turning off Haw-
kins street into Ninth he was thrown
out, landing on the top of his head.
Thomas Conaty FASTENED to his assist,
ance. Gordon was unconscious and
bleeding profusely. and was carried to
his home where physicians were sum-
moned.' The skull was found to be
fractured and it is thought his shoulder
and spine were also badly injured.

ROBERTS STEPPED IN CRIME.

The Gri4xs & Smith Company's BOOKS
show a LOSS OF 100000.
The amount of George w. Roberts
stealings from the Griggs & Smith COM
pany is three times as much as was sup
posed. The investigation Of the books
has been completed and the result is
startling. 1t is found that Roberts be-
gan to manipulate the pay roll as far
stolen from the company, with one in
Permission Of about a year. In all he
has taken, it is claimed, not less than
$50, 900. Roberts began his wicked
career a few months after entering the
employ of the company, and when the
late John E. Smith was manager. Con-
sidering the amount of the defalcation
Roberts bond of $1,000 is considered toe
small and it is probable that the amount
will be increased.

RECEIVED THEIR COMMISSIONS.

People Who Refuse to Answer VIII
BE Prosecuted.
The census enumerators for this town
last night received their commissions
from Supervisor Mccarthy and will be-
gin their work in few days. The fol-
lowing order, signed by Robert P. Por
ter, superintendent of the census, has
been received by the supervisor
"You will please instruct enumerators
in cases where persons refuse to answer
the questions on the population schedule
relating to physical and mental disabili-
ties, (22 and 23) or the questions relat-
ing to farms, houses and mortgages.
(26 to 80 inCluSive) to enter in the pro-
per column the words, refused to an
swer" No further steps will be neces-
sary on the part of the supervisor or
enumerator, and all legal proceedings
will be instituted by the Washington
Office through the department of justice. "
The questions which are thus es-
pecially emphasized, are As follows.
%. Whether suffering from acute or
chronic disease, with name of disease
and length of time afflicted.
%. Whether defective in mind, sight,
hearing or speech, or whether crippled,
manned or deformed, with name Of de-
feet.
26. Is the home you live IN hired, or is
it owned by the head or by member of
the family?
81. If owned by head or member of
family, is the home free from mortgage
incumbrance
%. If the head of family is a farmer,
is the farm which he cultivates hired, or
is it owned by him or by a member of
his family?
20. If owned by head or member of
family, is the farm free from mortgage
| incumbrance
80. If the home or farm is owned by
head or member of family, and mort
gagged, give the postoffice address of
| owner.
Supervisor Mccarthy and his corps of
enumerators feel much relieved by the
order, for they are relieved of what
might prove very unpleasant duties.
There need be no trouble now between
the public and the enumerators. The
latter asks his questions, and if the for
mer refuse to give the information ask
ed not another word is necessary, but
down against the individuals name &c
the words, refused to answer" The
enumerator's responsibility there ends,
and the United States government and
the individual come face to face. This
is a great boon to the luckless enumera-
tor and saves him the necessity of push.
ing questions which might end in his
sudden flight aided by the well-shod
foot Of some irate householder.
