FALLELECTIoN-NHw TRIAL FOR

Hampton, Va, Nov. S.-The election
which took place in Elizabeth City
county yesterday was the quietest ever
held, and the vote was the smallest
ever polled in an election, the total vote
cast at the four precincts being the
ridiculously low number OF 344 The
dizziness Of the day was in evidence at
each precinct and the few voters who
presented themselves to the judges
came one at a time.
In Hampto which usually polled 500
votes, the vote was only Sc, and the
day was marked by the quietness. The
courthouse had on its Sunday appear
ance, and the time dragged along in
such O. manner as to almost cause the
Judges to go6into inhocuous desuetude,
so to speak. BY G O'Clock the vote had
been counted, and the results were Civ
en- the few bystanders without even the
slightest demons tration.
Phoebus, the home of Hon. L. e..
Donohoe. the legislative candidate, poll
ed the largest vote, but, considering the
fact that she generally comes up with
6oo and 800 the s150 ballots cast yester-
day We're only q drop in the barrel.
At Fox Hill the total vote was 80.
which Is about one-third Its usual
numbr.
At Slash. when the last man had
voted. the register showed 65 names,
when in the spring election this pre-
clnCt gave q total vote of $50.
The little interest shown In the cleo
ton is easily accounted for, which was
due to Mr. Donohoe having no oppo-
sition, and Mr. Tyler practically the
same, his celored opponent only re-
celvlng "a votes in the county.
NEW TRIAL FOR BURaE.
County Court opened It's November
term this morning with Judge Baker
p. Lee on the bench. The grand Jury
was at once empanelled and has been
In session the entire day. They will
probably report their findings late this
afternoon.
Judge Lee shortly after court opened
rendered his decision in the matter of
granting William D. Burge, who was
convicted and given ten years in the
penttentiary at the July term Of the
County Court on the charge OF assault
ing his 17-yenr-old daughter, Addie
Burge. The new trial was allowed on
the ground that the main witness for
the Commonwealth was compelled by
illness to leave the stand before the
attorneys for the defense had had the
proper time in which to examine her
When Judge Lee had rendered his de-
cision Burgess attorneys, Messrs
Causey, Jones and Woodward, who

Client asked for ball, which was al
lowed. The bond was executed this af.
ternoon and Burge will, for the first
time in six months, make a visit to his
home, near Fox Fill.
1t is understood on good authority
that Miss Addie Burge, the young CIR
upon whom the assault is alleged to
have been committed, has left the
county and will not appear against hel
father at the new trial.
Burge is GO years old and his close
confinement in The county JAIL has ha6
