Some OF the Questions 10 he Asked by
EnnmeratOrs.
The census enumerators for Roam
oke have not yet been appointed, but
it is not from want of candidates for
the Office.
The woods are full of them. A few
days ago an employe of the Census
Bureau was in the city looking around
but he did not select appointees from
the numerous gentlemen who called
at the Hotel Felix to see him. It. is
supposed, however, that this will be
done in the next week.
When the enumerators begin their
house-to-house visitation they will
ask at each house number of ques-
tions. In the first place, they will
want the Christian name and initial
OF each member of the family; wheth-
er the head of the family was q sol
der, sailor or marine during the
Civil war. either Union or Confeder-
ate, or the widow of such u person;
whether the person is white, black,
mulatto, quadroon, octoroon, Chinese.
japanese or Indian; the age at the
nearest birthday; whether single,
married, widowed or divorced, mother
of how many children and number
living; place of birth, place of birth of
father, of mother; the number Of
years resident Of the United States,
whether naturaliZed or naturalization
papers taken out; profession, trade or
occupation; months unemployed dur
ing the census year; able to read, TO
write, TO speak English; whether suf-
fering from acute or chronic disease;
whether defective in mind, sight, hear
ing or speech, or whether crippled or
manned.
The law further provides that it
shall be the duty Of each enumeration,
after being qualified in the manner
aforesaid, to visit personally each
house in his subdivision, and each
family therein, and each individual
living out of a family in any place of
abode, and by inquiry made of the
head of such family, or of the mem-
Der deemed most credible and worthy
of trust, or Of such individual living
out of a family, to obtain each and
every item of information and all the
particulars required by the act. And
in case no person shall be found at
the usual place of abode of such fam
ily or individual living out Of family
competent to answer the inquiries
mado in compliance with the require
ments Of the act. then it shall be law
full for the enumeration to obtain the
required information as nearly as may
he practicable, from the family or
families. or person or persons, living
nearest to such place of abode

Wreck ON the Dummy Line.

A wreck occurred on the dummy
line, at the curve just west of the
brewery, Tuesday evening, as the last
trip was being made at 7:15 o'clock.
The train was moving unusually slow,
but for some reason jumped the track
there and the engine was turned al
most completely over. The coaches,
and engine also, were filled with PEG
pie, but strange to say no one was
hurt, though it would be hard to fine
crowd of circus-goers that was ar
much scared up. The track was torn
up for some distance and trains did
not pass till 1 o'clock yesterday.

Seven hundred thousand tons OF ice are

six such trains could be loaded and sent

On the other hand. if water transpor,

require $500 canal boats to bring 1t tc
