The 1'urington paper wa? offered to a local capitalist before the bank had agreed to buy it. This capitalist knew Mr. I'urington well and chanced to rriftt hl:n n the street a few hours after talking with the brokers. "I have bt-en offered pome of your personal paper and some issued by your brick company," the capitalist remarked. "Whit do you mean?" Mr. Purlngton asked. The capitalist explained. "I have no notes cut and neither has the company." said Mr. I'urington. "In fact, we have $40) In the bank drawing ?j ;er cent, interest and we v.-ould not be fo rSolish as to put out paper calling for 5 per cent." Mr. Purlngton went at once to the brokers and there learned of the $123,000 in nott-s offered for sale through the New York house. He at once denounced the notes as forgeries. One of the numbers of the Chicago brokerage firm, which was planning to handle the paper, declares that he do- not believe there is any such man as Duffy. CENSUS BUREAU'S REPORT

DIRECTOR MERRIAM 0 THE ritOGnnss of ins work.

Difficulty In Keeping the Clerical Force Up to the Maximum I rosecations of Unfaithful Employes.

WASHINGTON', Nov. 17. The annual report 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 reports by July 1, VJC. 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 celerity. The law provides that the four principal reports shall be placed In the hands of the public by the 1st of July, 1302, and this requirement has rendered it absolutely necessary to maintain a clerical force adequate to complete the work within the prescribed period. The statisticians made estimates of the time, needed to finish the particular branch assigned to each pf them. The plans so submitted have been greatly Interfered with owing to the absence of clerks from duty owing to sickness or annual leave. It was hoped by the 1st of November a large number of employes could be dispensed with, but Inasmuch as the work haa been retarded owing to the difficulty of maintaining the clerical force at Its maxi uum It is not likely that there will be any material reduction until after the first of the year. The officials of the offl.ee 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: "It was hardly to be expected out of the large number of agents employed In the field work about in all that there would not be some who would prove Incompetent and unfaithful to duty. The director has endeavored to enforce the census act to the letter, and through the assistance 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. N. D. North, chief of the manufacturing division, reports that the -work of his division is rapidly drawing to completion. STATUE OF MHINLEY.

VICIO DCMOCKATIC COMMISSIONERS ENGAGED IN DOING IT.

No Development In Evansvtlle Marder Cases Suit to Oust a Professor New Earlham Apparatus.

Frclal to the Indianapolis Journal. TEURE HAUTE, Ind., Nov. 17. The Democratic majority of the board of County Commissioners yesterday, at the seventh meeting to consider the bond of County Treasurer-elect Bolton Clark, made known why it had delayed approving the bond from time to time by deciding to leave the matter open until Dec. 31, which Is the day before the beginning of the next term In the office. Bolton, Democrat, contested 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 that peculiar admission was pointed out he said that the affidavit in which he had made the statement was not true, but that his real reason was that Judge Piety, of the Circuit Court, was prejudiced. He next took a change of venue from Judge White, of Parke county, to Judge Ilabb, of Warren county. Judge Babb 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 to make out the certificate for Clark. A commission was procured for the latter, and a bond presented to the commissioners to perform the ministerial act of approving or disapproving it, either of which acts Clark asked the commissioners to perform.

Pretexts for delay had been made for two weeks, and yesterday the truth cams out, when it was said that the court's decision was wrong and that the County Commissioners should ignore it, because if it were respected it would prejudice Bolton's case, which he has appealed to the Supreme Court.
