two pieces OF its skin which seemed to indicate the

TERRE HAUTE, Ind, Nov. 1.-THE
Democratic majority Of the board Of County
Commissioner yesterday. at the seventh
meeting to consider the bond of County
Treasurer-eIect Bolton Clark. made known
why it had delayed approving the bond
from time TO time by deciding TO leave
the matter open until Dec. 81. which is
the day before the beginning Of the next
term in the office. Bolton, Democrat, con-
tested the election of Clark and took a
change OF venue from this county on the
anomalous ground that the community in
which he claims a majority of the voters
were for him was so prejudiced that he
could not get justice. When hat peculiar
admission was pointed out he said that
the ffidavit in which he had made the
statement was not true, but that his real
reason was that Judge Piety. of the Cir
cult Court, was prejudiced.
He next took a change Of venue from
Judge White. of Parke county, to Judge
Rabb, of Warren county. Judge Rabb
held that as the trial in his court showed
a tie vote Bolton had not made out his
case, having failed TO prove that he had
received a majority. The judge instructed
the clerk 10 make out the CeTlllCdle IOE
Clark. A commission was procured for
the latter. and a bono presented to the
commissioners to perform the ministerial
act Of approving or disappearing it, either
of which acts Clark asked the commission
erS to perform.
Pretexts for delay had been made for
two weeks, and yesterday the truth came
out, when it was said that the courts de-
cision was wrong and that the County
Commissioners should ignore it. because if
IL were respected it would prejudice Boil
tons case. which he has appealed TO the
Supreme Court.

suspicion. particularly as Palmer and Pur-
ington have not been borrowers. and conse-
Quently might not obtain as liberal terms
as regular customers. The burlington paper
was offered to a local capitalist before the
bank had agreed to buy IL. This capitalist
knew Mr.. burlington well and CHANGED TO
meet him on the street a few hours after
talking with the brokers.
Il have been offered some OF your per-
sOnal paper and some issued by your brick
company, the capitalist remarked.
What do you mean?" Mr.. Purington
asked.
The capitalist explained. II have no notes
out and neither has the company said
Mr.. PuringtOn. I'm fact. we have $4,000 in
the bank drawing 2z ger cent. interest and
we would not be so foolish as TO put out
paper calling for 5 per cent"
Mr.. PuringtOn went at once 10 the
brokers and there learned OF the s125.OO0 in
notes offered for sale through the New
York house. He at once denounced the
notes as fOrgeries. One Of the member Of
the Chicago brokerage firm. which was
tanning TO handle the paper. declares that
he does not believe there is any such man

RICHMOND, Ind, Nov. 1.-THE first in

rived and contains some exceedingly fine
specimens. Although laboratory work
proper will not begin until next term,
a number of the members of the psychology

the work. The laboratory is equipped for
experiments in fatigue. touch, tempera-
lures, pain sensations. color. phenomena,
psychical illusion, motor coordination, and
imagery. By the end of the next term
the class will be prepared to take up orig
inal problems in UNEMPLOYED fields, and a
number OF general interest to the public
will be attempted.
One of the problems which is at pres

ELLIS AT FORT BLISS.

LITTLE ROCK, Ark, Nov. lis. NJ.
Powell, state manager of the Metropolitan

gram to-day from the commanding Of
fcer at Fort Bliss, Tex, stating that w.
II. Ellis was at that post sick with tuber-

This is the troop at present stationed at

this afternoon. The result was a verdict
that deceased and cause of death were
unknown. The coroner then telegraphed

he would hold the body subject to his or

in South Africa, claiming that ii is con-
trary to stipulations of an existing treaty
with Great Britain, and also calling atten-

dated April 26, 1898, calling for the strict
enforcement of the treaty during the war

CENSUS BUREAUS REPORT
DIRECTOR MERRIAM ON THE PROG
REss OF HIS WORK.
Difficulty I'm Keeping h Clerical
cntions of Unfaithfui Employees.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 1.-THE annual re-
port OF Director of the Census Merriam
was made public to-day. Speaking Of the
prospect Of meeting the legal requirement
for the completion OF the four principal re-
ports by July 1. 1892. Mr.. Merriam says:
The work Of tabulating the returns and
results OF the field work of the numerators
and special agents Of the twelfth census
has progressed with reasonable celebrity.
The law provides that the four principal
reports shall be placed in the hands of the
public by the LIST of July. 1902, and this re-
quirement has endered it absolutely neces-
sary to maintain a clerical force adequate
10 complete the work within the prescribed
period. The statisticians made estimate of
the time needed to finish the particular
branch assigned to each of them. The plans
so submitted have been greatly interfered
with owing to the absence of clerks from
duty owing to sickness or annual leave.
II was hoped by the LIST of November a
large number OF employees could be dis
pensed with, but inasmuch as the work has
been retarded owing to the dificulty OF
maintaining the clerical force at it's maxi
mum it is not likely that there will be any
material reduction until after the first of
the year. The officials of the office believe
that their allotted task will be completed
in ample time
The director gives a list OF prosecutions
for violation Of the law in connection with
the census work, saying OF them:
1T was hardly TO be expected out Of the
large number Of agents employed in the
field work-about 5000 In alI-that there
would not be some who would prove in
competent and unfaithful to duty. The di-
rector has endeavored to enforce the census
act TO the letter, and through the assist
ance Of the attorney general has proceeded
against all offenders"
The report includes detailed statements
from the different chiefs of divisions of the
bureau. Mr. s. y. D. North, chief of the
manufacturing division, reports that the
work OF his division is rapidly drawing to
completion.

AN ALLEGED SWINDLER.
Woman Who Borrows Money on n
Very Inferior Watch.

Special to the indianapolis Journal.
SEYMOUR, Ind, Nov. IT.-Friday a we'll
dressed woman went TO Thomas HopewelPs
livery stable in this city and engaged a
horse and buggy. ostensibly to deliver
goods in different parts Of the city, which
she claimed TO have sold as an agent. Be
fore the horse was hitched up she told Mr..
Hopewell that the goods she desired TO de-
liver were at the express office, and that
before she could get them the c.. o. d.
charges would have to be paid, and that
since the firm from whom she purchased
the goods had sent more than she ordered
she did not have quite enough money TO
pay the charges. She asked a loan OF 81,
Offering to put up her watch as surety:
Mr.. Hopewell let her have the money and
took the watch. The woman then left the
stable, stating that she would settle with
the expressman and then come back ana
get the rig. She never came back. In the
meantime Mr.. Hopewell has learned from
jewellers tina the watch put up by the
woman can be bought new for $3.50. The
same woman beat a liveryman at Columbus
out of $40 in the same way.
