authoritative information that the Louisiana
state census "a compilation of which has just
been completed by that state), taken immedi.
ately before the federal enumeration in June,

1,116.S2S by the United States census, vari-
ance Of but Oil, and that in favor Of the ma
tional census. Mr.. Porter said, in talking OF
the matter, that this is q verifcation from the
south Of the accuracy Of the federal enum-
Grafton; that it proves how unfounded the
charges OF unfairness are against the census
Office in the enumeration of the southern
states. This result from the state Of Louisiana
is but in line with the results of the state GEN.
suses in the following named states, all of
which, go to prove the correctness of the federal

the shafts month when an explosion occurred.
A searching party to go to the rescue of the

explosion occurred, followed by three
others in rapid succession. Seven OF
the searchers were injured. one past
recovery. A dozen more volunteers descended
and brought up six insensible Cinnamon, two
OF whom died IN few minutes, They saw ten
other Cinnamon lying PROSTATE. Smoke began
to issue in large volume from all the en-
frances and further attempts to save the men
imprisoned below were abandoned. There are
still at least thirty men in the mine, mostly
Chinese. All the entrances to the mine have

A young man named Thomas j. Sweeney,
who keeps cigar store and pool room ON A.
street southwest near Maryland avenue. was
placed on trial in the Police Court this morn
ing charged with keeping an unlicensed bar
and selling liquor to minors. After hearing
the testimony of a number Of bo,s who had
bought and drank beer on the premises.
and the denial of the defendant that be had
ever sold or derived any benefit from the beer
the boys drank, Judge Miller said the proof
as to the sale Of liquor in less quantities
than one point was insufficient; that the de-
fendant sold beer there he had no doubt
but the court thought that the Character
OF the business was selling beer by the bottle.
So tar as the charge OF unlicensed bar was con-
cerned it would have to be dismissed On the
charge OF selling liquor to minors the court
said the maximum penalty, Gao, would be i'm
posed. and the court was only sorry that the
amount was not $5Q0.
