NEW YORK. March ANDREW Car

cost half d million dollars. It's like is
not to be found IN America. probably not

Fifth Avenue palace and grounds from
the Madison Avenue houses at the rear
and thus he solves the Yexed problem
Of neishbors.
From Mr. Carnegie's windows and gar

When Mr.. Carnegie settled upon
mansion IN Fifth Avenue with grounds
extending from Ninetieth to Ninety
first Streets his design was to buy the
entire block. including the Madison Ave
nue. frontage But the Madison Avenue
property owners pat their prices up to
pTohIbiliEe figures. 50 the steel king
was driven 10 other plans. These cut
minated in the spite wall. for which in
StructIons were given yesterday to his

Of the Piazza del TOreadOr in Madrid.

Of universal fame
Plans for the vest and north facades
have already been submitted to Mr.. Car
negle in preliminary sketches, and those
who have been fortunate enough to see
them declare they are of wonderful clas-
SIC beauty
Originally the intention was to have
carriage houses and automobile quarters
at Il corner of the grounds But there
they would have hidden from the mansion

ParLersburg Loses Its Suit Against
the Census Director.


the Census Director.
Justice Cole To-Day, after hearing ar
gument. dismissed the petition of tbs
city of Parkersburg. w. Va. asking that
William R. Merriam Director of the
Census, be compelled to correct the tab
ulation OF the population of that city be-
fore publishing it.
In disposinG Of the matter the court
held that the corporation of Parkers-
burg had no political or property right
in the matter; that the taking of the
census was a political Elatter and with
out the domain of judicial action.
The subject came up for hearing on the
petition of Charles II. turner, the Mayor
OF Parkersburg, which was filed about
three weeks ago. in which it was stated
that the official count of population of
Parkersburs. as stated by the Census Blu
reau, was incorrect. The inaccuracies.
he alleged. had been called to the atten-
t:"n of Director Merriam. hut the correc-
lions desired were not nade.
according to the official count. Mayor
urher says, the population of Parkers-
burg appears to be I.7G3, while by tab
uldticn of the residents made Bv the mn
n:'lpal authorities it is. in fact. Il .6l. By
reason OF the nnmher of the population
as stated By the Census Bureau Mr. Trr-
ner stated that the city would suffer
great loss, and asked that the count be
corrected
When the matter came up for hearing
this morning, the city Of Park,.r.b1Irqr
was represented by Attorney Y h Arch
er and District Attorney Thomas H An
dersoH acted as counsel for Director Ner-
ram In his answer, as made bv his
counsel, Mr. Merriam stated that he had
investigated the complaint made by the
CITY OF Parkersburg. and. because il was
discovered that any errors which NAV
nave been made in the taking Of the cen
Sns oil that city would not materially af-
Iect It's rights or standing as a munich
Sary
District Attorney Anderson contended
thal Inc matter was one coming entirely
WITHIN the discretion of the Director OF
the Census, who was the sole Judge of
whether or not a reUa buIation Of the uop-
ulailon Of the district was necessary If
such petitions We're upheld by the courts.
II was contended by Mr.. Anderson. there
would be no telling when the statistics
OF the nited States would be completed
IOr the maj announcement Of results
could, III this way, be delayed by any
city or district IN the country for political
or other reasons

He DIDN'T STEAL THE HOUSE,
But Got Away With Large Portion
of the Contents.

Saturday the officers at this place
we're notified that suspicious negro
was making his way towards Columbia
from Mt Pleasant. Constable Goad
and Deputy Sheriff Hight started out to
meet him, and came upon him near Mr..
j. l.. Jones residence on the Mt. Pleas
ant pike.
The negro made show of resistance,
but the officers overpowered him, and he
was brought to town and placed in the
County lock up. A A calibre pistol
was found on his person, and sack
which he vas carrying on his back was
found to contain sixteen pairs of shoes,
a quantity of undertaking, several
cans of oysters and three bottles of
pickles. He also had bucket of sugar
in his hand, and some tobacco in his
pockets.
An investigation disclosed the fact
that the goods had been stolen from
Harlan's commissary near Mt. Pleasant.
The negro gave his name as Jim Bry
ant.
MIR. T. o. Lee put the officers onto the
negro, and affected his capture. He
fell in with the negro at Asnwood, and
suspecting that something was wrong,
I telephoned to town to the officers.
