senatorship continued the absorbing top
ic at the State House to-day, especially

the hope of picking a candidate that
might be acceptable in case OF con-
tinued split in the Republican ranks.
The Republicans have taken % ball
lots, with Congressman John w. Weeks

for first place. Neither side showed any

One shaft OF the pung sleigh struck
the injured man over the right eye, in
ilicting cash that will take several
days in healing, and a rap in the LETT

horses hoof, also contributed to the
of Mr. Engish's bruises. \
quartet of onlookers carried the man
to his rooms in the A. Tomas block and
a physician who remained
until the patient had recovered con.
,ciousness an hour after the affair hap
Dened. This morning Mr.. English was

proceeded on his way without inquir-
ng after the health OF the injured man.

have gone to pieces in no time When
about 30 yards Off the hawser, which
was sagging low, caught on jagged
rock and held her fast. The tug Mar

tion.
