CAp1tOl MOVED
1t is stated that, should the democrats
get control, among the first to go would be
Captain Dibble, the superintendent of the
capitol, and his assistant, Mr.. Cooley, to
make berths, it is understood, for Colonel
Graves of Hartford and x-Rrepresentative
HUME of New Haven. Both Captain DID
BILE and Mr.. Cooley have faithfully per-
formed the various duties of their offices
for the past twelve years and their many
friends in both parties will probably use
all the influence in their power to have
them retained in their respective places.

The Caucus Postponed.
HARTFORD, Jan. 20.-The adjourned
democratic caucus tonight called for the
nomination of United States senator was
attended by hardly fifty members of the
legislature. The nomination was again
postponed and an adjournment taken until
tomorrow morning at 10 o'clock. Both
houses meet in joint assembly at noon to-
morrow. The reelection of Mr.. Platt is
universally expected by republicans to-
night. It is thought that the democratic
nomination will finally go to the Hon. Car
los French of Seymour.

FINE sLEIGHING TIMES.

whalIey Avenue Alive With Teams
Again - Many Evening Sleightng
Parties.
There were jolly times again yesterday
about town and everywhere the sleigh bells
jingled merrily, while on all the ponds
and lakes there were joyous times among
the skaters. Whalley avenue was alive
sleighing parties. There was never better
sleighing on the avenue in years, and
spirited brushes between rival horses
were numerous. Among those seen out
on the avenue with their teams were Will
liam Nicely, S. S. Thompson, J. P. WEIGH,
George White, Mr.. Poronto, the Messrs.
Hubinger, Captain Luzerne Ludington,
Frank Brazos, DR.. E. G. Ross, the Smith
Brothers of Oyster Point, Eugene McGann
Donald, DR.. G. B. Adams, Police Commits
sioner John Clancy and very many more.
Many ladies were enjoying sleigh rides in
the moving procession, some behind fast
trotters, some of family sleighs. Crowds
of spectators on the sidewalks witnessed
the spirited scenes on the avenue. One of
the jolliest sights was big carry-a11 sleigh
WILL pair VI uOTSeS UolOuSluR 10 Ire COIn-
missioner Blakeslee, and filed with thirty
young people, misses and masters belonging
in Mr.. Blakeslee's neighborhood and who
through his kindness were having the
sleighride. They enjoyed it to the utmost.
In the same turnout, except that it was
drawn by four horses, Mr.. Blakeslee and q
party of twenty guests whom he had invit-
ed for the occasion took a sleighride to
Allingtown Tuesday night. At Mr.. Alling's
the party had fine oyster supper. All
thoroughly enjoyed the ride and the sup
per and appreciated Mr.. Blakeslee's kind
ness
Several sleighing parties went up to the
top of East Rock park last night and had a
fine time. They sent off fireworks from
the top of the rock near the restaurant
building and made fine display that was
watched with interest by many people in
the city. Sleighing parties were to be seen
all over town last night, about everything
on runners included.

On the other hand it was said that the
democrats only allowed General Merwin to
preside and thereby do some overt act
which would better afford opportunity for
action of "quo warranto" The leaders of
both factions, however, refused to disclose

be done by waiting for new developments

PIP VAN VINKLE.
Joe il Persons Greatest Rival In
this Famous Character.


The Scranton, Pa, Times, says this
Of Mr.. J. w. Garner who impersonates
the role of Rip Van Wrinkle as that
play is presented ..sby Fitzpatrick's
Spectacular Comedy Company:
The story of Rip Van Wrinkle, i'm
mortalized in the pages of Washington
Irving, will always have a charm for
the lovers of the quaint and legendary
lore of the old Knickerbocker period.
The character, as he drew it, was that
Of a good-natured. witty, worthless,
drunken vagabond, the life of the old
Dutch tavern, the ever-welcome friend
and half-wary companion of the village
children, and the curse of his family,
whose inheritance was dwindling away
under the shadow of his dissolute and
improvident life.
To realize the full significance Of his
character as it has been elaborated by
the genius of Boucicault, one must wit
ness its portal by Jefferson or Garner.
Both have made it life-study, so to
speak, and the delineation of each pos
sesses peculiar excellence in its way.
1t is impossible to speak Of the one
without contrasting it with the other.
You will have chance to see this
play at Burwell Hall next Tuesday
evening. Popular prices will be OBJ
served,

Quite BuSinesS-like.

Henderson has been a ''map of busy
life'' this week. Court being in session
has brought numbers of people to town
and many of them have had more or
less trading to do. There is the usual
gathering of horse traders from the
country round about and much swap
ping and swearing has been INDUCED
in. Farmers too have come to market
with their tobacco Notwithstanding the
almost impossible condition of the
roads and breaks have been heavy.
The weather has been favorable to the
handling of the weed and it has come
in with a rush. Prices are a little of
on some grades but in the main it is
selling about as we'll us usual.

VIRGINIUs.
Sheridan Knowles Immortal
Tragedy to be Presented at
RurWell Hall

Sheridan Knowles Immortal
Tragedy to be Presented at
Burwell Hall.
For the first time Sheridan Knowles
great six-act tragedy, Virginius, is to
be presented at Bur well Hall, and by a
first-class company of talented artists
such as rarely pay US visit. Wednes-
day evening next Miss Adele Frost.
supported by Mr.. Bennett Matlack and
a troupe of about eighteen others, will
fill an engagement in this place.
Judging from the very fiattering
press reports we gather that Miss
Frost is fitted by nature with all the
beauty, grace and charms that can be
looked for in woman. Added to this,
she is possessed of the divine fire of
genius, and her performances have al
ways been the brightest gems Of the
theatrical season. They appeal d.
rectly to refinement and intelligence,
and her engagement in this city will
surely attract all of our best people.
The Wilmington Messenger. where
Miss Frost filled an engagement awhile
back, says this of her:
The brilliant audience that assembled
at the Opera House last night was de-
lighted beyond expression at the gen.
eral excellence of the performance, but
to the bright particular star of the
evening. Miss Adele Frost, the highest
praise is due. She has all the beauty,
grace and intelligence that can well be
invested in one woman, and to this is
added degree of genius and magnet
ism that filled her auditors with the
greatest enthusiasm.
The Wilmington Star also says:
A very large and fashionable audi
ence greeted Miss Frost and her excel
| lent company at the Opera House last
night. She appeared to great advan-
tage and was an ideal Parthenia, Her
conception Of the character is exact
and her portrayal of it equal to the
best we have ever seen. She invested
the play with grace and sweetness
that was indescribable, and it had the
quality of magnetism that attracts ad-
miration. She was applauded to the
echo, and by one stride has attained a
very enviable position in the estimation
of our theatre goers.

Personal.

Henderson has lost two of its most
highly esteemed citizens in the removal
of Mr.. and Mrs. I. B. Gary to Danville,
Va. Mr.. Gary is good business man
and enjoys the confidence of all who
know him. Formerly engaged in the
leaf tobacco business, he has held the
position of teller in the Citizens Bank
since the establishment of that institu-
ton and resigned to accept a more
lucrative salary as book keeper for
Messrs. Dibrell Bros, in Danville.
Mrs. Gary is most excellent woman,
an active worker in her church, and,
like her husband, will be greatly missed
in the community. Henderson's loss
is Danville's gain. The best wishes of
a host of friends follow them to their
new home.

A Timely PAPER.

The paper read at the rooms of the
Young Men's Christian Association by
DIR. Frank S. Harris, Monday night,
was the second of the series of lectures
or talks on practical and interesting
subjects as provided for by the commit
tee. The care of the teeth was the
subject discussed and those who heard
him were given many practical sug-
gestions which cannot fail to be bene-
fetal if needed. A diagram or picture
of a tooth was used in connection with
the lecture and their construction, char
acter and uses, together with the rela-
ton Of the teeth to the general health
of the individual were intelligently and
deliberately considered. Such talks can
not fail to be productive of good and we
are glad that they have been inaugu-
rated in our midst.
