Harry Fanning's Lucky Investment.

Harry Tanning, who cleared 3d.
600 on an investment Of 81 little
over a month ago in the Louisiana
State Lottery, is attending to his bu-
siness as strictly as ever, and instead
Of squandering the money which
came so easily is going to use it to
good purpose, He kept the matter
to himself and told no one of his
great good fortune, but quietly sent
his coupon forward for collection by
Wells, Fargo & Co., and in less than
ten days he had his money counted
out to him over their counter in
bright $50 pieces.-Stockton (Cal.)

Petition Dismissed.


The petition to rehear the con-
tempt case Of State against C. w.
station, was dismissed yesterday by
Chief Justice Turney of the Supreme
Court. This is the case in which
Station was fined by Judge Tyler for
contempt of court and sentenced to a
term in Jail. This will wind up the
case presumably, and it remains with
Judge Tyler whether Station goes to
Jail or not.

The FINLAND meraId,. R..m.

The Rutland Herald, which has hitherto
remained silent on the governor question.
came out early this week with the nomina
ton Of Chief Judge Royce, and is now
working a boom of its own for the Judge
with marked copies freely distributed. and
circular letters asking about the interest
aroused. The Herald bases its opposition
TO Woodbury. and Page on the ground of
the active personal canvass which they
have made, and says that Judge Royce.
while he would not enter into a scramble
for the office, would accept tina nomination if
given him 10y the convention. There are
unquestionably many in the state who
would be glad to see something like this
happen, and The Phoenix deprecates as
earnestly as any the element of self-seek-
ing which has entered into this canvass,
hut IN the situation which has now been
reached 1t looks like a foregone conclusion
that the contest in the convention will lie
between Col. Woodbury. and Mr.. Page. with
Mr.. Page much the stronger candidate, on
the east side of the mountain at least. At
ter the active and searching canvass which
has been made it would he surprising de
velopment should any third candidate come
up with strength enough to defeat the
choice of one of these two, unless the los
ing side should at the last moment throw
its strength to such a man in order to de
feat its opponent. 1t is a serious question
moreover whether even Judge Royce, now
IN his I'D year would bring to the govern
orship 50 active a knowledge of the cur
rent affairs of the state, and so watchfu
ana well Informed a care Of the financial
problem which confronts the people, as
would Mr.. Page with his knowledge aud
zeal in these matters.

took occasion to publicly declare his devo-
ton TO the principle Of prohibition but un-
fortunately his habits do not always CORE
spond with the principle, for it is a we'll
known fact that he cannot Withstand the
temptations Of New York and Washington

them as a Member Of Congress from Yer

sacrifice from him. Ordinarily there would
be no occasion to mention these things, hut

Vermont has been in the habit Of sending

ton TO which the state has been reduced
this is not the time TO begin.
1t will be useless to say, in answer 10 a
statement like this, that it is an attack on
Col. Hooker, for it is no such thing In all
sincerity we give the Colonel credit for every
good quality which he possesses and for
every good service which he has done, but

the reasons why The Phoenix. sustained in
its course, as we believe, by large major

Now, while many may think Mr.. Grout
has made mistakes in appointments. the
question arises, would Col. Hooker be likely
20 do any better: Would the people of his
own town be better pleased with a post

their own choice. Put the Colonel in the
