Sc emine TO Steal Two States.

SC eming 20 Steal Two States.
In New Hampshire and Connecticut the
democrats a7e in danger of losing the
fruits Of heir victories gained IN the No
vember elections. In New Hampshire the re-
publicans are making extraordinary efforts
TO get control of the legislature. II their
efforts are successful they will elect the
goVerlo and also United States senator.
The democrats have clear majority OF
the legislature. provided the 'if entitled"
members are not placed on the rolls by the
clerk Of the House, thus ad hitting those
members to seats, and permitting them to
take part in the organization OF the House
before the legality Of their election has been
passed upon. These If entitled" members
are the ones elected with the understanding
hat if the census taken in June showed
their respective towns entitled to additional
representatives they should be entitled to
seats
The republicans claim that the clerk of
the House has the right to say whether
these "if entitled" members have a
right TO seats or not. The dem Ocrats, how
ever, insist that the House alone has the
power to pass upon that question The ques-
ton was submitted to the supreme cour5 of
the state, and that tribunal day OF two
ago decidedthat it was without jurlsli ton
The clerk Of the House is a republican, and
the understand & seems TO be that he will
place the names OF the "if entitled" mem
bers on the rolls The democrats, how
ever, declare that il he does they will resist
by every means in their power the organ
izaton of the House.
In Connecticut the democratic candidate
for governor was elected by a few votes,
and the canvassing board will so declare.
But the republicans claim to have found
enough illegal votes to wipe out his ma
iority, and that, therefore, he was not
elected. They propose to throw the cleo
ton of governor into the legislature If
they succeed ia doing so they will elect a
republican for governor.
In both New Hampshire and Connecticut
the democrats were victorious in the last
elections, but if, by any means, however
wrongful they may be, the republicans can
deprive them Of what rightfully belongs to
them they will do so. The Connecticut
legislature met yesterday, and the New
Hampshire legislature will soon meet. In
each body there will be an interesting and
perhaps prolonged contest.

a Remarkable &C incidence.

Charles T. Prother, messenger of the United
States Express Company, was accidently killed
one dark night while he was crossing the track
of the Kansas City, Fort Scott and Memphis
Railroad Company, says the Kansas City Star,
Prother had a companion with him the night he
was killed. and at the point where they crossed
the railroad track there was no light and a
section of freight train was backed down on
them in the darkness. Prother was struck first
and his head waS ground 10 a pulp. The I'M
fortunate mans companion was also struck
out was thrown to one side and was not injured
The express messengers clothes were torn TO
shreds AID the contents of his pockets we're
scattered far and wide. When the coroner
to collect the remains he found two
letters incloSed in one envelope addressed
to the dead man. One of these letters had
been written by Prother to the superintendent
of the United States Express Company
messengers in Kansas City and was to the
effect that this writer was ready to report for
duty, after short vacation. The other letter
was written by the superintendent and it
ordered Prether to go to Hetheringt IN, Kan,
and there take run. To this letter, however,
was added the following postscript:
DEAR CHARLIE-You will also find inclosed
passes TO H. You will go 70 H some day.
old boy. and never return. GEORGE -"
This letter had been written the day before
Prother was killed, and is remarkable coinci-
dence. The superintendent probably wrote the

with It's popularity, and added the final sen.
