Judge SIbiey Nominated.

The Convention at Portsmouth made
no mistake in naming Judge Sibley for
Circuit Judge. The delegates separat
ed in the best of spirits, after eighty
ballots distributed among eight candi-
dates, and after making Judge Sibley
the unanimous choice of the Conven-
tion. On the road home good deal of
hilarity was indulged in and some
horse play. Judge Sibley wore long
linen duster; none of your off color af-
fairs, but a regular old fashioned
brown linen which had been washed
until it was white. 1t reached to his
heels. Some of the Athens delegation
said no candidate for the Circuit bench
should wear such garment as that
with impunity, so a lot of them made a
dive for the Judge, and notwithstand-
ing the resistance of the Judge and the
members of the Marietta delegation,
including such heavy weights as /. R.

THE Leader was deprived of an i'm
portant item of news Thursday morn
ing by the stupidity Tor something
else) of the Western Union. The mes
sage was received at S:54 on Wednesday
evening by the operator at the main
Office in the Colonial building, and
though directed to the night operator
at the Union Depot, was not delivered
until 7:S0 Thursday morning. 1t bore
the news of Judge Sibley's nomination
at Portsmouth and was inquired for at
the Union Depot office by the Leader
several times during the night.
The blunder is very age ravating and
the possibility of it's occurrence shows
the poor condition of the Western
Union service in this city. In tele-
graph facilities we are far behind other
towns of equal size where there is COM
petition. The Leader is not the only
complainant, as the general public has
been forced to the opinion long ago
that the service accorded them is very
bad. We regret to place ourselves in
the ranks of kickers, but the abomina-
BILE treatment of Wednesday night
leads us to remark publicly that the
Western Union here needs some
shaking up.

SEEMING THE CANAL
The Work viii Be Commenced Next Mon
day.
The Formation of Thin lee on the
Pools VIII Not Materially Re.
tard the Operations.

Unavoidable circumstances have compell-
ed the postponement of tie beginning of the
work of seining the canal until Monday
inte endents and their men will start out and
continue operations until all the pools and
holes have been seined and the bass con-
tanned in them transferred to the river.
Owing to this change of date, the water in
the canal will not be drawn off for a day
or two. There has been some uneasiness
felt over the probable freezing of the water
in the pools and the prevention of seining
on this account, but unless very thick ice
forms there will be but little difficulty in
getting cut the fish. The men will be
warmly clad, and in addition will wear
heavy rubber suits. In case there is ice on
the pools it will be broken and raked off
ard then the seining will be begun. Mr.. L.
r. Harron of the fish commission and his
three assistants. who will have charge of
the work from Harper's Ferry to this city,
will probably leave here for the former
place Sunday night.
The result of the novel project is being
awaited with great interest by anglers gen.
orally over the country, many letters hav
ing been received from distant places,
showing that the seining of the canal is
not being watched by Washington fisher
men alone.
