ing. Psymas.er Groser and his cook oc-
cupied the car. Groser expected TO be
moved early. About 3 A. N. he swoke and
found himself travelling at least 40 miles

preached the engine. When halfway
there he observed q man climbing of the
engine. Where are you taking me?"

RICHMOND, July l5.-Delegates 10 the
State Republican Convention. which meets
tomorrow. are arriving by every train.
From the present indications the igh. for
Governor will be between John s. Wise
and Attorney General Blair. The friends
Of each are sanguine that they have q ma
iority. Wise's friends claim he will be
nominated on the first ballot, while some
of Blair's adherents think Henry OIL
Bowen, who expects possibly to come in as
. dark horse. hopes TO get enough votes to
defeat q nomination on the first ballot, and
then their candidates will make a good
showing against Wise and possibly secure
the nomination. Senator Malone il
claimed as Wise's strongest support, and
he is considered indeed the power behind
the throne.
