The Senatorial Question and Inaugur-
alton.

The daily papers have been for a
week or more filed with all kinds of
sensational statements about the Sena-
torial situation which has been the
uppermOst question with all classes for
weeks, intensified as the time for max
ing choice drew near. Monday night
was to settle it, but it didn't. 1t is
still an open question, and shrouded in
uncertainty. The friends of both Mr..
Higgins and Mr.. Addicks prior to the
caucus were confident as to the result,
but when the time came-Mondav
evening-the members of the Legisla-
ture favorable to Mr.. Addicks refused
to 60 into the caucus, as they couldn't
count certainly ON success, and hence
there could be no choice, those voting
for Mr.. Higgins not being majority of
the Republican votes. The pre-
valent opinions now seems to be that
neither of these men will get the place,
but that it will likely tall to another
man. They may be balloting for
weeks.
The vote of the members who went
into the caucus was Higgins s, Massey
l, blank 2.
THE DEMOCRATIC CAUCUS.
While the Republicans were snarl.
ing the Democrats held their caucus
The latter convened in the Senate
chamber. 1t was resolved that the two
ballots should not be binding, that the
votes should be complimentary. These
ballots resulted as follows:
First-James l.. Wolcott. 3 votes:
Ebe w. Tunnel, >; Dr. Nathan Pratt,
?; John R Nicholson, l.
Second-WOlcott, 4; Tunnel, 2; John
w. Causey. ,; Nicholson, /; F. l..
Martin, l.
AT the end of the second ballot Mr..
Mustard withdrew, he being opposed
to the nomination going to Kent county
man or rather James L. Wolcott.
Following was the result of the last
two ballots:
Third--WOlcOtt, votes; Tunnel, 3;
Nicholson, 3.
FOurth-Wolcott, 6; Nicholson. .

1t was agreed to make the final vote |
unanimous for Mr.. Wolcott.

THE WEATHER--We have had plenty
OF weather the past week. The rain OF
tuesday and snow of Wednesday was
followed before finishing with verv
heavy rains Thursday, and this nv
warm, spring-like weather on FRIDAY
and Saturday. The evening of the
last named day government dispatch
10 the postmaster gave notice of the
approach OF severe storm coming mn
the coast from North Carolina followed
Dy intense cold weather. The first in.
stallment of this was a succession of
RAIN showers occupying the time until
midnight. 1t was nearly clear at the
dawn of day Sunday morning with the
mercury at 2O0, but light clouds began
TO hit across the sky with falling flakes
OF snow, which was kept up till sun
Gown, alternating sunshine and snow
nnrrles, sometimes filling the air prettv
full and seldom without some faEas
the aggregate for the day not amount
ing to an inch. The singular feature
OF this cold spell was that it came from
the southwest, the mercury drODning
all day from 200 in the morning tn IOo
at shutdown with the prospect under
the usual fall at night that it wOuld he
Gown TO zero, but instead it registered
Monday morning 10. The wind has

speil, very singular circumstance.

COLD weather makes business good
in some avenues of trade, but it dimin-
lshes the quantity done in other aven-
ues. The wooden men need cold
weather to deplete their stocks that
were manufactured during the warm
months, and the recent cold snap will
have marked effect on that business
next summer. Coal dealers are not
the only ones benefited by arctic
weather, although it is hard on the
poor and the owners of orange groves.
