The Illinois senatorshir.

Springfield, ILL.,, January 16.-Wm.
Mason and Congressman Lorimer of
Chicago are the leading candidates for
United States senator. Mason claimed
today that he had majority of Repub-
lican votes, but his lieutenants fear that
before the party caucus. Monday night
the machine and Lorimer, it's new favor
ito, will have won over enough members
to prevent Mason's nomination in tbs
caucus. If this is done. there would be
an open fight for the senatorship in the
Joint session Of the legislature which
must begin Tuesday next.

CRUSHED BY a JIGGER.
Little Lawrence Dresser Dies from Els
Injuries.

Lawrence E. Dresser, years old, the
son of Charles P. Dresser of 81 Cedar
street, died at Z O'Clock Saturday morn
| ing as the result of injuries received Fri
| day afternoon by being run over by a
heavy jigger on Elm street.
Mr.. Dresser is a brakeman on the Port
land &c Rochester and lived, with his
wife. and son Lawrence E., aged T..
and other children, in the last house on
Cedar street, before reaching the Roch-
ester track.
The little fellow was pupil in Miss
Colesworthy' room in the Chestnut
street school.
After school was dismissed last Mon
day noon, Lawrence and companion
younger than himself, went over Chest
nut street to Cumberland and along that
street past Cedar to Elm, instead of
down Cedar to his home. The reason
why they did this, presumably, was
on account of their getting ride OH a
jigger that was going over Cumberland
street..
Near the corner Of Elm street, young
Dresser attempted to jump OF the NOV
ing jigger end fell under one of the rear
wheels which passed over him.
A Mr.. Downey who was passing, heard
tho boys screams Of pain, ard running
out into the street, picked the poor little
fellow mp in his arms and carried him
into the ot1lce Of DR.. Fessenden on the
corner, where ne was made as comfor-
table as possible. 1t was found that the
wheel had passed directly over the stom-
ach infiicting terrible internal injuries.
The little sufferer was removed to his
home and DR.. Way, the family ply sician,
was called and later there was Il consul
tation with three physicians. The
wounded boy was beyond mortal aid
and he fingered until about Saturday
morning when he died.
The little fellow was able to give but
a brief description of the horses at
tached to the jigGer, but not enough to
trace it. The driver did not leave his
seat, but drove away.
The boy was bright and manly little
fellow, was good scholar, and beloved
by his teacher and playmates. Mr.. Dres-
ser, who is an industrious and popular
employe OF the Rochester road. merits
the sympathy of the community in the
hour of his and his wife's deep affection.

of Connaught and George N. Curzon,

duty to promote the work of extending
the measures for relief was offered by tn
Duke of Connaught, whereupon an at.
tempt was made by the socialist leader
Hyndman to move an amendment depre-
eating the measures of relief for India
in view of the distress in England. The
Lord Mayor refused TO listen to Hynd-
man, but he persisted in his attempt to
move his amendment and he was put out
of the hall amid cheers. The resolution
of the Duke of Connaught was adopted.

One thing is certain: 1t will not do to
fool with bad cold. No one can tel
what the end will be. Pneumonia,
catarrh, chronic bronchitis, If not con-
sumption, invariably result from a
neglected cold. 1t is surprising too, that
bad colds are SO often neglected when
one remembers bow easily and at what
little expense they may be cured. Cham
berlain's Cough Remedy is always
prompt and effectual, and costs but a
trife; % or so cents is a trifie as com
pared with the disastrous effects of a
neglected cold. Mr.. Abner Mercer OF
Difworthtown, Chester County, Pa, in
speaking of this remedy, said, 'Some-

of itself as the Cleaves Rifles, while Of

neuvers as Company M, of the First Reg
iment, N. @. S. NJ.
The idea of military company from
Westbrook first materializsd some sever
| or eight years ago but the project fell
through. It WAS revived year ago ano
an organization formed. 1t is the re-
suit of the efforts of this last movement
that has now eliminated in the birth OF
Company N.
1t was mustered in on December 26th
last, by @. A. Moses, Esq, of Westbrook,
who has been staunch friend OF tbs
enterprise and was appointed mastering
officer by Adjutant General Connor. Or
the 29th the present officers were chosen
and the company is now drilling weekly
and has its armory in the Rogers School
building.

will make them all look to their laurels.
