The negroes in the neighoorhood
of Cohutta, in Whitfield county, are
excited over what they claim to be
a case Of conjuring. Lizzie Clark, a
negro girl, has been acting strange
ly for several days. Last week she
began to bark like dog, bray like
jack and initiate snakes. The
darkies declare the girl has been
coDiured, and say that just under
her skin are scorpions, which run
when touched. Quite number OF
persons have been to see her, and,
although they cannot understand
her condition, they all pronounce it
queer case. The negroes say she
has been poisoned by powdered
scorpions by some unknown enemy,
and by conjurer.

few years ago in Tennessee. We

| Chancellor Boggs of the State
University at Athens will not allow
men coming from branch colleges
to enter classes higher than sophie

dissatisfied with this rule, and have
slgniffed that intention of returning

modified or revoked. DR.. Boggs is
fixed in his belief that this is a wise
plan, and will be followed by the
best results.

Regularity every six months the
treasury department receives either
a 500 or $50 bill which, from all APP
pearances, instead of being made
from a plate, is executed entirely
with a pen. The work is of very

FOUND PROOF OF FRAUD.
Supt. Porter Talks 10 the Delegation
from st. Paul-What the In
quiry DeyeIoped,

WASHINGTON, d. c., Aug. 5.-The citi-
zens' committee of st. Paul had anoth-
CT conference with the Secretary of the
interior, to-day, with reference to the
proposed recount Of the popu 'ation of
that city. Since the last conference the
committee has made as careful an
examination of the charges of fraud in
the enumeration of st. Paul as the
time and means at hand would permit,
and to-day presented TO the secretary
Their conclusions. The committee finds
that the insurance map, which was to
some extent used as a basis for the
charges, was wholly unreliable for the
purposes for which it has been used in
This connection. 1t was stated in an
affidavit by its compiler that the
map was not intended to show sections
of the city, even though thickly ropu-
lated, where the character of the build
Ings was such as to render them unin-
surable. Other important sections of
the city, where the buildings We're scat
tering, We're not shown at all: indeed,
only such portions were shown as were
necessary for insuring purposes. The
committee found number Of errors in
the work Of those who had made the
examinations upon which the order
pf recount was based, and while
freely admitting that the work of emu
iaerating nine Of the city districts had
been 50 careiessly and inaccuratelv done
az 10 render further investigation and
correction Of errors necessary, they
strongly objected to a recount of the
VA nnp Il cf f.,it NC
people. The committee presented two
propositions to the secretary, either of
winch they believed would be and
should be satisfactory to the secretary
and the citizens Of st. Paul. The first
WAS that full recount of the nine dis
tricts be had under the direction of
Supt. Porter and the second was to re-
turn the schedules of these nine
districts to st. Paul and there
correct and verify them. The secretary,
after questioning the committee upon
several points upon which he was not
clear, stated that his only desire in the
all concerned. lie reviewed the
history of the case, and al
So at length commented upon
the work of the census bureau, during
which he took occasion to compliment
IA the highest terms the work of Supt
i'orter He said that he, Mr. Porter,
sad conducted the affairs Of that great
bureau with skill and Judgment,
and the accuracy and efficiency
IF the work was in his
opinion something marvellous He.
therefore, was not prepared to rescind
tie order for a recount, hut 1t was his
desire that the work Of investigation
now in progress by Mr.. Porter be
pushed to "A conclusion, and when that
was done he would further consider t he
question of the necessity for a recount.
