ks9 Thinks tHe ray OF 4enAuH EBufnGrM&-
ora was Altogether Too Small.
NEW York, March l4-Eobert b. Porter,
United States census superintendent, who
had been requested by the assembly census
committee to take the stand, was examined
yesterday by Franklin Bartlett the com
mittee's attorney. When asked by Mr..
Bartlett IL he had ever had any previous
experience in census work he stated THAI
he had When General Walker took hif
last census he had assisted him. He hoped
that the work of the present census would
be completed some time in 1892 1t GER
tainly could not be finished before that
time, but by next August he thought he
would be able TO dispense with the serv
ices Of a number OF his clerks.
At present, exclusive OF laborers, watch
men, etc, he had about 4,l0o clerks
About half this number have passed
civil service examination. All OF them
however, had passed the census examina
tion, which was very much the same thing
In relation 20 the selection of the super.
visors, witness stated that in the 175 ap
pointments fully one-half Of the eandi
dates were selected upon the joint recon
mendation OF Republicans and Democrats.
lie believed that certain statistical ques
tions should be omitted from the taking
Of a census. lie said that II he could get
the documents OF the police count, he
could within two weeks tell If anew count
was necessary The witness considered
that the pay OF enumerators OF the last
census was altogether too small. Secre
tslry Noble consulted the witness relative
to making a recount OF this city, but the
trouble was that the witness had no means
TO locate the difference between the polics
and federal counts IL that was possible
the question might be settled, but as th'
bureau had already taken 100000 name.
il could not do Il over again.
The point was then brought ont that i
the proper application had been made {,
the witness for a recount instead OF th,
| attorney general the witness would have
been compelled TO have granted il. II thl
/ matter had been left TO the witness TO ar
| range with Mr., Kenny he considered thai
satifaetory conclusion would have beer
reached Adjourned for the day.
| In response TO the assembly committed
inquiry concerning recount OF New Yo,'
state, the attorney general has maze th
following reply; Il am OF the opinion tina
Il is within the undouhted power of IN
| present legislature TO mai. e provision b
law for an enumeration Of the inhabitant
of the state which coz be- and il made wi

Surprise and DISQUALIFICATION.
The boy Marchesi showed no signs Of
emotion. The jury looked more concerned
than any one in the room. Their faces
were 9eathly pale and showed plainly the
eiISct Of their long deliberations. Chief
Clerk Sereven read the verdict in n firm
voice. As the verdict was read there was
an audible expression Of surprise and dis
satisfaction. Judge Baker Immediately
discharged the iurymen and ordered the
prisoners remanded as there was still an
other charge against them. The court then
adjourned.
The Jury Jeered by Crowd
when the jurymen left the court room
they were surrounded by reporters, but
none Of them would discuss the case or
how they reached the verdict. They kept

soon as a town or tavern looms up
ahead, however, Jaggers' horse shows
an astonishing change in demeanOr.
He limps and appears reluctant to go
further. His ears lie back, and he fire.
Quently looks around at Jaggers with
an expression of deep gloom. Some
times he suddenly whisks around cor
ner into road that seems to lead back
into the wilderness again, and he has
been known to make unexpected daShes
toward precipices, evidently with
sees town or tavern ahead he stops
whistling, seizes the reins firmly in
both hands and sets his teeth with an
air of great determination.
When at length Jaggers draws up in
front of the tavern he ties his horse
very firmly, for he knows the horse.
Then he lifts the snake box from the
wagon. The horse shows a wonderful
interest in the box. He watches Jag
gers every movement with an express
sion of wistful apprehension. If the
snake man takes the box into the saloon,
the horse falls to chewing the post. But
If Jaggers opens 1t in the road and be-
gins to drop snakes. fear is in the horses
eyes. He brings his four feet near
together and stands on tiptoe. He drops
his head and fixes his eyes on the snake.
AS they crawl nearer and nearer, he
gathers himself together as if he would
spring into the air. His eyes start from
his head, and he is always glancing
nervously on each side and behind him.
Occasionally he kicks out behind with
great yigor as if he felt snake fooling
around there, and he keeps drawing
further and further back as the snakes
approach, till his neck seems made of
India rubber. Jaggers' fondness for
rattlesnakes is certainly not shared by
JaggerS' horse

the most of which is wild swamp. A
person travelling into it must fight mire,
mosquitoes and dense underground inch

Just at dark one evening last week
Mr.. Folsom heard the cry of human
voice for help coming from the swamp.
He hastily organized a searching party
OF five men, and they started. BY that
time it was pitch dark, but they plunged
untiinchingly into the waste They
were almost exhausted when. after sew

Bonnie Holt perehed upon fallen log,
filling the air with clamor. After a

could not find the way, and wandered

At dawn they knew no more about
their whereabouts than in the darkness.
Their absence was known in the town.
