THE VIRGINIA STATE CONVENTION.

RICHMOND, Saturday, FEB. rs, 1901.
The Virginia State Convention reassembled to-day;
large portion of the session was occupied IN personal
explanations by the delegates.
The resolution heretofore tabled for raising COM
mittee to inquire whether any movement OF arms or
men has been made by the Government 10 any fort or
arsenal in or bordering upon Virginia indicating Preps'
rations for attack or coercion was adopted.
The Union men seem satisfied that the investigation
will prove that there is for apprehension on
the subject.
Mr. Barbour, Superintendent at Hsrper's Ferry, was
among its advocates. Others argued that the appre-
tensions well grounded and that the facts should
be known that Virginia might be prepared. g.,
Mr Fisher offered resolution opposing National
Convention, and declaring that the people OF the south
might reasonably apprehend that such body would
reOrganze the judiciary system, and make the judges
Of the Supreme Court elective by the whole people Of
the Union, Mr. Seward declared bis party would do
as they acquired the power, and that such
body would make other innovations npon the recog-
nized rights of the minority section Referred.
A large number OF resolutions on national subjects
were also referred.
Adjourned.

NV Servant DOrr,

Many wears ago, when as yet there was
but one church in the old town Of Lyme,
Connecticut, the people were without a
pastor. They had been FIR "a long time
destitute, and now were on the point Of
making unanimous call for very ac-
ceptahle preacher, when croSs-grained
man, by the name of Dorr, began a violent
opposition to the candidate, rallied party
about him and threatened to defeat the
settlement. At parish meeting, while
the matter was under discussion, half
witted fellow rose in the house and SAID he
wanted to tell dream he had last night.
lie thought he died and went away where
the wicked people 90, and as soon as Satan
saw him, he asked him where he came
from.
From Lyme, in Connecticut" l told
him right out.
"Ab and what are they doing in
Lyme 2' he asked.
"They are trying to settle minister. ="
] answered.
"Settle a minister" he cried cut, "
must put a s,op to that. Bring me my
boots /; | must go to Lyme this very night"
then told him, as he was drawing on
his boots, that Mr.. D0rr was opposing the
settlement, and very likely he would pre-
vent it altogether.
my seyran Dorr~ exclaimed his ma
jesty. my Serram DoJ1! Here, take
my boots if my servant Dorr is at work,
there is no need Of my going at all "
This speech did the business. Mr.. Dorr
made no further opposition the minister
was settled, but his opponent carried the
title Of "niy servant DOrr" with him to the
grave.
