Of them ar. now in the city. There
is some speculation as to how long the

Senator w. W. Sale said the other day
that he and his colleagues from down
there had a great many kills which they
would propose on the first day of the

hotly-contested matters pending. The
bridge bill; the tunnel bill; the Ter
Centenary measure and the House con-
test from Norfolk city are just few of
them.
Then there are many matters of general
interest to be disposed sof and other sec
tons of the State will have their local
measures up for consideration.
Col. Caton's separate street-car bill and
the various pension measures will cause
long debates, to say nothing of the
$500. 20 pension resolution and the matter
of redistricting the State.
The session promises to be one OF the
spiciest held in many years, and some
warm debates are looked Tor.

reform element in Norfolk county and IS
engaged in the conduct Of a prosperous
lumber business at Berkley. MT. Jones
came within one vote OF capturing the
nomination several years ago, ana mas

timber. If Mr.. Jones shall fully deter
mine to enter the race his friends VIII
put up a game fight for him.

Of Norfolk. are urging him to enter the
| race, and the name of Colonel E. E Hol-
land Of Suffolk. is also being freely men
toned.

will stand for denomination.
