Fargo Express Company.
The high record price for the stock
before the present year was $50. To-
days announcement induced sales at

WILMINGTON, n. c., NOV. lS.--The
unknown fur masted schooner, prey
iously reported ashore on Frying Pan
shoak. today proved to be the Eleazer
W. Clarke. Si9 tons, Captain + W.
wvman bound from New York to
savannah with shipload of paving
blocks. Both vessel and cargo are
a eomplete loss. the tugs Blanche
and Sea King and the revenue cutter
Seminole having been unable TO rem
der assistance last night on account
of the southwest gale prevailing along
the coast.
CAPTAIN Wyman aud crew of seven
men left the vessel at S o'clock last
night in two yawl boats as she began
10 go 10 pieces and after a terrible
battle with wind and waves. until
daylight this morning they were
thrown mp on Bald Head Island beach.
from which place they we're taken
over to Southport. y. &, and brought
to Wilmington tonight. They have
reported to the schooner's agents
here and are being cared for at the
Seamen's Home.
Story of Great Hardship.
They relate a story of great hard
ship. having been practically without
foot or sleep sixty hours before they
were brought ashore.
All efforts Of the Oak Island Lie
Savers to reach the vessel on Wednes-
day proved without avail. The tugs
and cutter having gone to sea this
morning in search Of the wreck and
finding no vestige of her left. were at
first of the opinion that the shifting
wind during the night had enabled
the vessel to get afloat without as
sistance, but later il was ascertained
from the crew that she had gone to-
pieces.
The schooner was beating down the
coast before day yesterday morning
in an effort to get into the blight on
account of the gale prevailing on
shore when she struck on the shoal
that was formerly the anchorage of
Cape Fear lightship. She dropped
anchor and flew singals of distress,
out the wind increased in violence
and she dragged anchor as she was
thrown further up on the shoals.
Crew Took to Boats.
At shutdown yesterday the crew took
to the boats. leaving everything ex-
ccpt few personal effects and after
drifting all night reached Bald Head
Leach. They say that the vessel went
10 pieces within an hour after they
left her.
The schooner was owned by J. s.

The supervisors are cautioned that
in no case should any person who is
directly or Indirectly concerned in
the assessment of property for taxa
ton or in the collection of axe be
designated as an enumeration.
The instructions call attention to
section 10 of the Census Act and
state il provides that all appoint
ments shall be made solely with re-
ference TO the illness of the appoint
aes and without reference TO political
party affiliations
The supervisors are informed that
after proper enumeration districts
have been established ii will be their
duty to designate a suitable person
in each district TO perform the act

h Director is emphatic upon this
point and says it is their o impor-
tant duty. They must exercise the
greatest possible care TO secure COM
pefent persons Their success as
supervisors and the ucces and val
ne nf the census as a whole are, he
states, absolutely dependent upon the
tho~rouehness, accuracy, and prompt
ness with which the enunerators par
form their duties.
The instructions state that the en-
ume~ators should be active, energetic
persons of good address. They must
be thoroughly UrustwoAthy, honest
and of good habits. They must have
at least ordinary education, and be
able 20 write plainly and with reason
able rapidity. In general. preference
should be given former epumerators,
If thav are al present physically able
to perform the duties.
It is hoped. the Director states,
that in many cases they will be able
TO secure the services of persons
who do not care for the positions on
account of the paw involved. but who
are willing to do the work in the pub
lie interest.

umerator should live in the district

will be of a practical character. con-
sisting chiefly OIL wnolly of the filing

TO perform the duties of the position.
Having assumed the Office they can
not retire at their own pleasure. The
supervisors are advised to have in
view substitute enumerators.
1t is stated hat in enumeration
districts where the population is lar
gely of some particular foreign ma
tionaliiy, the supervisors ought to be
able TO obtain members of that ma
tionalitv with sufficient intelligence

The employment of such persons as
J e~nu7nerators will also ten TO dispe'
any prejudice that may exist against
the census among the foreign popula
tion- II would also reduce the coSl
of the employment of interpreters.

lar setting forth the duties and quail.

form TO contain the designated names
and a circular stating precisely the

Applications should be addresspd
to tne individual supervisors and not
10 the Census Bureau. II is under
stood that the filing of applications
will be permitted TO continue until
about January Is. The population
and AGRICULTURAL schedules will not be
forwarded the supervisors until a few
weeks before the enumeration begins.
II is estimated more than g. 5000 emu
merators will be employed, of which
number $1,000 will carry both the
population and farm schedules.
