Col ]. II. Hoge. who is likely to re-
ceive the Republican nomination for Gov
ernor of Virginia, says the white voters of
that State are more evenly divided between
the Democratic and Republican parties
than most people think. Remember he
says, that Mckinley carried IS per cent. Of
the white counties of the state last year
and Bryan 90 per cent. of the black coun-
ties. That means that the Democrats won
most of their votes after shutdown"
Colonel Hoge belongs TO an old and prom
inent Virginia family. and says that if NOM
mated he will make an aggressive cam

One to be Held in Granby to Elect Dele
 gate to Succeed MT. Case.
 Hartford, Dec. 24.-The death of William c. Case of Granby is the first break by death in the membership of the constitu- tional convention. The question of the choice of successor to the deceased dele gate will require prompt solution, as the gathering conVenes next week. The enaD- ing act providing for the constitutional convention makes no provision for the fill ing of vacancies. But it says that the del- egates shall be chosen in the same man ner as representatives to the general as- sembly are now chosen"
 This provision is interpreted at the sec retary of states office to mean that yacan- cies in the convention shall be filled In the same manner as vacancies in the house or representatives. The general statute pro- vides that when a vacancy occurs in the office of representative before the. first Tuesday of February after election 1t shall be the duty of the constables of the town to forthwith warn an electors meeting to i'll the vacancy, which meeting shall be warned, organized, and conducted in the same manner as biennial electors meetings are required to be. The registry list to be used at such meeting shall be the list last completed.
 Arrangements will shortly be completed for calling special election.

Remains of Man Found Dead in Ham,
 den Still at the Morgue--Burial
 Thursday.
 The mangled remains of the mans body found on the Northampton divi- sion tracks Monday morning are still at the undertaking establishment or Lewis & Maycock and still unidentified. It is quite probable, so say the author ities, that the name of the unfortunate man will never be known. It has been decided to keep the remains al the morgue until Thursday morning. at which time, if there has been no identi- fication, the interment will take place at the expense of the county. The theory that death was the result of an accident is still tn eprincipal one in ex- nlanation of the catastrophe.

WATER COMMITTEE MEETING.

A meeting of the water committee has been set for Friday evening of this week. A petition was put in circulation yesterday by Henry Vail of this city asking that the water company cut the rates for water for the people 25 per cent, and also asking for free water for public purposes. The petition al- ready has many signers. The matter is being agitated at this time when the city and water company are attempt ing to come to an agreement concern ing the new water contract. The pe- tition will probably be considered at the meeting called by Chairman Fertman for Friday evening.

Lincoln Quit.

A gentleman who knew Lincoln we'll
told the following story about "Old
Abe"
"About two years before Mr.. Lincoln
ran against Mr.. Douglas for the Unit
ed States senatorship was witness
in Judge David Davis court in the Nc
Lean county circuit. During the prog
ress of the case Mr.. Lincoln, who had
come up from Springfield the night be-
fore, entered the courtroom and stood
before the big stove in one corner of
the room to warm himself. Several
lawyers and acquaintance at once
gathered around Mr.. Lincoln, and he
began telling stories in a low voice.
"Judge Davis finally arose, stretched
himself and in drawing voice said:
"'See here, now, Lincoln, either you
will have to quit telling stories, or l
will have to adjourn court
"'All right, judge replied Mr.. Lin
coin. I've got business down the
street, so I'll CO.
"Mr. Lincoln was the most magnetic,
entertaining man ever knew. People
have said he was homely, but when he
was speaking I've seen his face light

that he looked positively handsome.

Wedding the Oceans.

1t is a remarkable fact that water
which flows naturally into the gulf OF
California and thence into the Pacific
ocean has been virtually lifted across
the backbone of the Rocky mountains,
and now, after being used for irriga-
ton, finds its way to the gulf Of Next
co. A number of small streams on the
other side of Longs peak, which flow
into Grand lake and thence into the
Colorado river, have been diverted by a
ditch that finds its way through a pass
10000 feet high into the head waters
of the Poudre. Some 400 cubic feet
per second has thus been diverted from
the Pacific to the Atlantic slope, where
water is used for irrigating additional
farms in Larimer county. 1t Is not
strictly correct to say that this water
has been lifted across the range. But
feat of sinuous engineering has d.
verted 1t, which amounts to the same
thing.-Denver Republican.
