PORTER'S BIG INQUIRY.
A GEORGIAN REFUSES TO ANSWER
A SINGLE QUESTION.

The superintendent Instructs the Su-
pervisor to Lay the Case Before the
District Attorney at Atlanta-Super-
visors and Enurnerators Prohibited
from Making Public Any of the In
formation Gathered.
WASHINGTON, June 3.-Supt Porter to-
day received a telegram from the census
supervisor for the Third Georgia district,
asking what must a supervisor do " hen
the head of family absolutely refuses to
give information concerning himself or
family on aay line of inquiry, and further
more forbids the enumerator entering his
premises" To this Supt. Porter replied,
directing the supervisor to lay all the facts
in the case before the United States dis
tr1ct attorney at Atlanta. and commence
proceedings against the head of the family
under the census act.
RESULTS CAN'T BE GIVEN OUT.
Supt Porter has received large number
OF inquiries as to whether the results of the
information obtained by the enumerators
may be made public. He has been informed
that in some sections of the country, espe-
peclally In the large cities, some of the
newspapers have sent circulars to the emu
merators asking that they be furnished with
the same daily reports Of the results as are
sent to the supervisors and the superintend-
ent- In this way rough estimate of the
population may be ascertained as soon as
the enumerators finish their work. In re-
Spouse TO these inquiries Supt. Porter to-
day issued the following order to each emu
merator and supervisor in the whole coun-
try:
. The thirteenth section of the census act of
March !, 1889, makes it misdemeanor, punish
able by fine of $500, for any supervisor or
enumerator 10 communicate to any person not
authorized to receive the same any information
gained by him in the performance of his duties
IL is not therefore, in the discretion of the
supervisors or enumerators to make public
or give out any part of the information
obtained by them. This applies with
equal force to the local authorities
newspapers and individuals. In no case will the
superintendent grant permission to divulge any
SUCH information. No fluctuations whatever of
returns must be made by the supervisors and
no rough estimates given out. The schedules
should be sent to Washington Immediately
after their examination has been made by the
supervisor to discover omissions and errors

A Celebrated Case.
Erom the Chionno rrib,,ne.


Louis Carranza, CHILEAN lawyer, was at
the Palmer house over Sunday, and told
the particulars OF the most celebrated legal
case ever instituted in South America:
Two years ago." said Mr.. Carranza, "a
Gillian planter, becoming tired of his wife,
and growing respondent over various mat
tiers, quietly disappeared from his residence
at Gillian Viego. His wife was the only
person who knew of his absence. She at
once set about securing possession of his
property,
''At that time cholera was raging over all
Chill. This woman took advantage Of the
epidemic to carry out her scheme. She got
the body of victim of the disease, had it
secretly removed to her house, where it was
placed in burial casket, and then caused
the report TO be circulated that her hus oand
had died of cholera Burial quickly fol-
lowed death at that time, and the nature of
the disease did not allow of the usual
funeral ceremonies. The woman experienced
little difficulty in getting the required GER
tlficates of death and burial Then she
doomed widows weeds and erected a head
stone over the grave of the man she had
buried. The stone was inscribed: To the
Memory of the Best of Husbands
I'm few weeks the planter was almost
forgotten. That was the end of the first
act. Then the supposed widow, armed with
the certificates of her husbands death and
burial, applied to the court for power to
administer the estate in her own name
After the usual legal process this permission
was granted.
Then commenced the third act. The
supposed widow quickly converted all the
property into cash and hid the proceeds.
April l last the husband, who had been car
rying on business in Conception all this
time, unexpectedly appeared in CHILEAN
Viego. He had come home to ask forgive
ness of his wife and to look after his prop
erty. But the woman would have nothing
to do with him. The husband promptly
began measures to regain possession of his
wealth. the woman prepared to fight his
efforts. He has engaged the services of
half the lawyers in Chill; she has retained
as many more. 1t is the straugest case we
have ever lad in South America. Every
one is interested in the outcome"

FORTY ACRES AND MULE
A NEW HOAX STIRs UP THE
BIACKs OF EARLY COUNTY.

a Report Spread Among Them OF
Free transportation to Africa With
Twelve Months Sustenance - The
Argument for q New Trial In the
voolfolk Case in Progress
ATLANTA, GA, June SIT seems that
the negroes of Early county are dissatisfied.
A letter addressed to Gov. Gordon was to-
day received at the executive Office lnqulr-
ing whether free transportation to Africa,
with twelve months sustenance, has been
offered colored emigrants. A rumor to
that effect, said the writer, John Cain,
had been circulated among the negroes OF
of his neighborhood. 1t appears to have
stirred them up considerably. Cain was
exceedingly anxious to know when the
train for Liberia might be expected to pass
Blakely station.
wooLFoLK's CASE.
Woolfolk's case came up again in the
supreme court to-day. The argument Will
be concluded tomorrow.
COL. ATwooD's FUNERAL.
The remains of Charles S. Atwood were

DIES FROM HIS WOUNDS.
A short time ago the Colored Mems Pro-
lection Association gave picnic In the
neighborhood of West View cemetery, just
outside of the city limits, which wound up
in free fight, lasting for several hours, in
which fifteen or twenty men were shot, cut
or otherwise injured. Several arrests were
made at the time, but the parties were all
discharged, as the proof against them turned
out to be meager and nobody died. In the
course of the row Joe Elliott was shot three
times and stabbed once or twice, and this
morning yielded up the ghost in consequence.
George Roberts, who was one OF the
most prominent of the picnIckers.
has been rearrested. He says William
Mitchell, another negro, acknowledged
having done the shooting. and Mitchell Is
being watched for by the police. The row
appears to have sprung from no particular
cause except mean whisky.

oh, you cannot trust appearance
Tho the countenance give clearance
To all sorrow and all care,
II the heart you could but gaze on,
Oft you'd stare in still amaze on
The gray ruin that is there.
Oft the merry jest it flashes
Like a flame from dust and ashes;
And the laughter that one hears,
Could we trace it to its fountain,
Fed by streams from prides cold mountain
Would seem sadder than all tears.
Oh, the lives that seem the gladdest
Are. oftentimes, alas, the saddest;
And the radiant smiles that wreathe
Beauty's lips may be misguiding-
All her gayety but hiding
Bitter wounds that lie beneath!
And the laughter and the lightness.
All the sparkle and the brightness
That beam out So bold and brave.

Like the flowers in yonder space there,

Through the Air.
PENSACOLA, FLA, June "A serious &C
cident occurred in mill No. 2 of the Southern
States Land and Timber Company at Musu-
cogee to-day. The mill was running as usual
when the saw belt suddenly broke, bringing
various pulleys in contact with each other,
breaking them and scattering the pieces in
every direction with violent force. Both
the circular and top saws were broken and
the pieces thrown around the mill. Thomas
Mitchell, a colored man working in the
mill, was almost instantly killed. Several
others received severe injuries. The sawyer,
c. F. Jennings, had a most miraculous es-
cape from death. as he was within few
feetof the saws all the time, and directly
among the flying missiles. The accident Is
a very serious one, and will cause the mill
to shut down for lwo or three weeks.

Turner's hall, in this city, this morning,

which will probably not be presented to the
