ward for Murderer Was Horrified

Atlanta, Ga, July 21.-The supreme
court handed down a decision in the
case against Mrs. Sarah Campbell, in

a reward for the apprehension of her
son as his brothers murderer The

liam C. Campbell. the elder son of Mrs.
Campbell. Mrs. Campbell was asked if
she would guarantee the payment of a
reward for the murderer. She says A.
L. Mercer and others told her the
real murderer was negro who
had quarreled with her son. Mrs.
Campbell signed her name to
the paper offering the reward and
guaranteeing its payment When the

A Revolutionary Party in Cuba.

Havana, July 2O.-The truth regard
ing the recent proclamation issued in
Matanzas shows that a regular revolu-
tionary party has been b1ished,
with headquarters in Havana, its OBJ
ject being to excite Cubans throughout
the entire country. This party has
agents in every large city, and also a
junta in Mexico, one of the agents of
which is now here. All this is perfectly
well known to the authorities, but it
is generally considered that it would
work more harm to arrest the leaders
of the movement, who would undoubt-
edly pose as martyrs, which is seem
ingly their desire.

A Vast Army of Apprentices.

For the 1900 census the United State g

will have the appointment of 50 clerk s
| and 50 alternates for work in the C en-
sus bureau in Washington. Seven SUI
pervisors, one for each congressional
| district, have already been appoint
ed. There are over 1890 precincts in
the state, which means the appoi Mt
| ment of that number of individuals to
take the census. No enumerator will
be paid over S125. and they will not
average SIS. Enumerators are paid at
the rate of 81. so for every 100 names
turned in, or 211 cents each. It takes
| an active man, even in city, to make
up 100 names daily. The districts will
be small, divided so that an enumera-
tor will have about 5000 names in all.
In the country many townships will
not have half that many. The super
visor will not be confirmed until De-
cember, and the enumerators will not
start to work until next spring.

government that the business done by
the corporation amounted to over
81, 900, 900 a month.

with IT. which control the tile crate and mantel
business in this city, disagreed yesterday after a

his membership for non payment OF dues (Which
he had paid he was boycotted. He said that the
organization refused to deal with non-members.

him.
