MT. Cole said the committee were to report tomorrow, being the committee for the con- yention. The list of delegates was committed to their care. Tho caucus then adjourned. Announcements of county caucusss were then made.
 The State Central Committee then held 8 meeting, and agreed upon Alexander Warner, of Pomfret, for temporary chairman of the convention to-day.
 A strong Edmunds feeling is manifest among the delegates stronger than was anticipated. The voice of the convention will be, 1t is be leved, to send the delegates uninstructed.
 somewhat exciting topic was whether the convention would abrogate the old plan of electing delegates viz, by counties and dis tricts, and substituting instead the selection of delegates irrespective of territorial 1imita- tions. The prevailing sentiment appeared to be against any change. The subject of in creasing the representation of the large towns and cities in the party State conventions will probably receive some attention and discus. sion in ths convention. The convention at Il o'clock resolved itself into district caucuses to agree upon the names to be presented to the convention for district delegates. Late I'm tho Evening-What Was Done
 at the Caucuses.
 Late in the evening an arrangement was re- ported by which the name of John Douglas, of Middletown, will be presented for delegate at large from this district, and Hon. Hobart B. Bigelow, Mayor of New Haven, for dele gate from this county.
 Litchfield county hsld 2 caucus by itself, in- dependent of Fairfield, and voted for ex- Senator N. Taylor Baldwin ss their candidate for county delegate. He is prominent manu- facturer at Terryville. Fairfield at caucus voted for Mir. Fessenden for delegate at large.

The "ParaIIeI ESOad.''

The new road is no doubt destined to be an air line between New York and Boston. At this end of the route the old Professor Twin ing survey has been quite nearly followed. A shorter and better line has been surveyed, and the right of way practically secured from the Housatonic river to Westport. It is to be put under immediate contract for building, and is to connect with the West Side elevated railroad into New York city. It is in such hands that no possible local opposition can thwart it's rap- i'd completion, as we are assured on the best authority.-Norwalk Gazette.

He decided that amputation was necessary, but the lad and his parents protested 90 strongly that after con- sultation with Dr. Hubbard it was concluded to make an effort to save the limb. The doc tors think, however, that amputation cannot be avoided. Bridgeport Farmer.
