How a Denver Man Was Engaged to n

 "Oh, perfectly! The young man met her on tho street one day and declared that she was the very girl for him. On, it was so romanticv'
 'This only helps to prove my theory, said an old maid of the party, with a reminiscent look, "It is a mistake to wait too long,"
 "One of my friends" chimed in a sprightful voice, answered n personal in New York paper, and three days later the couple met by appointment. Would you believe it, they were married tho next day"
 Il know true story that beats that, spoke up western girl, who evidently wished to keep up the reputation of her state in the story line. "A man whom knew we'll was going from Austin to a town about forty miles distant. In front of him sat a pretty girl with whom he struck up an acquaintance. The girl intended to change cars at the station which was the young mans destination. But just think of it When they reached that town they stepped of the train aa lively as you please, got a license and the knot was tied in jiify-less than an hour after the couple met"
 A blond young man in labor saving attitude. who had been listening with considerable interest, drawled:
 "I know of case that in its way is quite as interesting. It started out well. l never heard how it ended"
 Do tell itr' spoke up several at once, as the young man seemed about to TO, lapse into thoughtfulness again.
 "A girl know was engaged to fel- low an hour before he was engaged to her"
 "Impossibler' exclaimed several, "How did 1t happenf"
 "Well, he lived in Denver. she in Bos- ton, and she answered Yes by telc- graph"
 The blond young man looked reflect lively at tho crowd. They looked mourn fully at him, and one by one they stole back into the hotel.-New York Herald.

NEW YORK ELECTORS,
1t Is Alleged Will Be Chosen 10y
the LEGISLATURE

the Legislature.
PITTSBURG, Jan 5.-An afternoon
paper here is responsible for the follow
ing story, which is given for what it is
worth: The inside history of the meet
ing between Senator Quay and W. w.
Dudley, at the Hotel Duquesne, in this
city Sunday last, was related to a re-
porter this morning by gentleman who
came from New York TO attend the con-
ference, which concerned national and
not local politics. Notwithstanding the
endeayors of the leading coterie of Dem
ocrats III the Empire State to
keep the matter quiet, it was made
known to Quay and Dudley on
Sunday that a scheme has been promul-
gated and will be carried through with
in six weeks which will jeopardiZa any
possible success of the Republican party
carrying the state of New York in the
presidential election of next year. The
plan of the Democrats is this: Acting
under the powers conferred by the
constitution of the United States
and their state laws. Senator Hill, with
the consent and assistance Of the Demo
cratic legislature, has determined that
the next presidential electors shall be
chosen by the legislature, and not by
Tue pOpuldE fOIt Ol GilC people.
Another feature of the proposed
scheme is that the enormous SUMS
of money spent in the usual state
campaign for the election of the electors
by popular vote can be reserved for dis
tribution during the canvass in other
doubtful states. When it is remem-
bered that both houses of the legislature
in New York are to be controlled by the
Democrats, and that the strictest
harmony prevails between the
majority and Hill, and the feas-
Utility Of the plan in question is at
once apparent. Both Quay and Dudley
admitted that 1t is among the most Sc
rious matters of political fact and
question that has stared at them in any
preliminary presidential campaign since
the Tilden-HayeS struggle of 1876.
They are nOnplussed about it.
With the exception of West Vir-
GINA, which is usually classed under
the head of the Southern states list,
they Quay, Dudley and other promi-
nent leaders and members Of the Ia
tional committee) agree that there is
practically no hope of carrying
single Southern state next year for the
Republican nominee. The meeting of
Sunday was intended to be strictly sub
Monongahela house. Col. Quay at the
Duquesne, and their conferree did not
register at any hotel, but was guest of
a personal friend in the city,"

Still Out of sight.
DENVER, Col, Jan. 5.-District Attor-
ney Stevens has given orders that no
one but the doctors family and his law
yers be allowed to visit the jail. This,
it is thought, will give the
doctor much pleasure, as the army
of correspondents who have besieged
him since his Imprisonment have worn
him out and, as he says. distorted what
he said to them. Today, through one of
his counsel, DR.. Graves denied the
statement made by him yesterday that
Col. Ballou had left Denver on account
of being afraid of arrest should he stay
here longer.
1t is understood that detectives are at
work in the East with the view of dis
covering whether Col. Ballou had any
thing to do with the poisoned whisky.
and that nothing Will be done re-
lativa to DR.. Graves alleged con-
fession until this point is settled.
Mrs. Dr.. Graves and the doctors mother
were so much improved in health today
they were allowed to call upon him at
the jail. Nothing is known as to their
meeting, as all reporters were excluded
from the Jail. Mrs. Col. Ballou is also
better today.

OMAHA, Neb., Jan. 5.-The Missouri
Pacific railway officials and those of the
Pacific Express company have endeav-
ored to suppress the fact that All at
tempt was made last Wednesday night
to hold up the south-bound Missouri
Pacific passenger at West side, in the
suburbs of this city, the same place
where Sly successfully robbed a train
some time ago. Engineer Dean saw
the masked men OH the crossing. and in
stead of stopping his train pulled
past them With all possible
speed. The would-be robbers fired
a score or more shots at
the train as it rushed by and the fright
ened passengers lodged under the car
seats to get out of harms way. Fort
unately no one was injured during the
fusilade and no material damage was
done. 1t is supposed to be the work of
novices who attempted to initiate the
work of the desperate gang which has
just been apprehended by the st. Louis
