Some Important Developments Expected
Today.
CONCORD, July 16.-The ballot in the legis-
lature for Senator was purely a matter of form.
Eut % votes were thrown, Mr.. Chandler re-
ceiving six, Mr. Bingham six, and the rest
scattered among the Ceven other candidates.
A comparatively small number of members
of tha Legislature are here this evening. As
usual at the commencement of the week
mors concerning what will transpire are nu-
merous. Chandlers adherents claim he will
receive upwards of 20 votes tomorrow, Access
sions being expected from the supporters of
Jeremiah Smith of Dover, who has positively
declined TO be candidate. 1t Is sta.S1 shar
Briggs will withdraw after the first ballot al
though the report cannot be verified as a con-
ference OF gentlemen who have voted for him
was held at Manchester tonight. 1t IS ru-
mored that Patterson will be a candidate
again Wednesday. Considerable talk is made
tonight about holding another Republican
cahcus and matters may po-sibly assume a tan
gble shape before the close of the week.
Should such a gathering be called it is not
known what position the anti-Rollins men
will take It is suggested by some that the
solution OF the Senatorial question will occur
this week although such are unable TO assign
any reason for such belief. The successful can
didate must receive at least 100 votes and they
express inability to name the person who will
obtain half that number. In an interview
held with Briggs he emphatically denied the
report that he proposed or intended with
drawal as candidate after the first ballot to-
morrow.
DOVER, n. H., July 16-To, morrow's vote
for Senator at Concord is looked for with much
interest here. A large gathering of members
OF the legislature and politicians was held at
York Beach yesterday, aud was unanimous in
the opinion that there would be radical chan
ses in to-morrow's vote. Representative Pray
of Dover arrived here tonight, and has a letter
written by Judge Jeremiah Smith, now at
York Beach, which says:
81 am not, and nsver have been candidate for
United States Senator. should not accept it if
elected. Please make this sufficiently known to
prevent anybody voting for me-
Seven of the eight Republican members of
the legislature voted ON the last ballot for
Judge Smith. These will Gcatter tomorrow.
The general opinion among politicians here is
that Ray is dark horse, Msrston cloSe up,
and Doe and Smith are certainly out of
the race. Rollins friends here are bitter
toward Chandler, who, they claim, worked
against Rollins, causing his defeat.

sented check for $1C0 on New York bank.

geshalls family, who are among the most re-
spectacle people of Newark, cashed the check,
ne yer thinking that is was forgery, as Cogges-
hall showed him a lettar Durporting to have
been written by his mother, in which it was
stated that she enclosed check for $1C0. The
check was sent for CO lection, bat was returned
with the information the the signature was
forged. The Mayor OF Newport sent a photo
graph of the forger, and stated that Coggeshall

The Ely Mining Company.

HANOVER, N. H., July 16. The Ely Mining
Company has paid one third of the amount
due az wages for the month of May and June.
The company, as at present organized, will not
resume work and the miners will probably be
idle the balance of the year If not longer. Gov.
Barstow was at Ely last week. Considerable
criticism has been made respecting his action
in calling out the militia during the recent
disturbance, and it is supposed the object of
his visit was to satisfy himself by personal in
yestigation that the Necessity of interference
had not been over-estimated. Before leaving
he expressed himself as feeling perfectly justi-
fed in taking the course he did.
