terri The answer was yes The second
question related to compensation for the

18th range, third division Of lots in the
toyn OF Hardwick under and by virtue

to the supreme court. The case was
given to the jury yesterday afternoon

Of an hour and a half. Exceptions were
taken BY counsel at the close of the
charge This is a very important ac-
tion, although the plaintiff only claimed
nominal damages. Ii the plaintiff had
prevailed It il likely that another suit
would have been brought to recover for

been cut in the interests Of the Jeude-
vine estate in Hardwick.
Furthermore, in case of such a trial
being brought the Jeudeyine library Of
Hardwick, which is the residuary le

Candidates Last Night.

Depew was selected by the Republican
caucus last night as minority candidate
for United States senator to succeed
himself. Senator Depew received fifty
eight of the sixty-seven votes cast and
his selection was made unanimous.

votes were: Theodore Roosevelt, 2; An
drew White, 2; Edward Butler Of Buf-
falo, ?; former Senator George Mead Of
Rochester, | /; l.. A. Grace, New York
business man, l. and Seth Low of New
Nork, l.
This means that Senator Depew will
@eceive oil the Republican votes at the
regular sessions of both houses to-day.
Senator Depew's name was presented by
Assemblyman Merritt.
In the presenting of the name OF Col
onsl Roosevelt, Senator Wainwright ex-
pressed his opinion to the nomination
of Senator Depew and said that the
minority should make an ideal nomina-
tion, one that would express the great
est contrast possible to that made by the
Democrats"
William +. Sheehan was nominated as
the Democratic candidate last night, at
the joint caucus Of Democratic legis-
Iators, receiving sixty-two votes. four
more than majority Of all the Demo
cratic members Of both houses. The
fact, however, that twenty-five members
refused the caucus, laeyes a strong pos
siblity that when the legislature votes
in regular session he may fail to re-
ceive the number Of votes necessary for
election.
Besides Sheehans. the names of Ed
ward NJ Shepard Of Brooklyn and D..
Csdy Herrick Of Albany and New York
were the only ones presented TO the
