FOR THE LEGISLATURE.
The Committee of the City District to
Issue a Call.

The Republican central committee of
the Thirty sixth legislative district, which
is known as the city district, will hold a
meeting tomorrow night at the law office
of Frank Il Foster in the Columbian
building.
1t is understood that the COMMITTEES
will, at this meeting, issue a call for
nominating primaries to nominate a can
didate for the legislature to succeed W.
B. Swan, who will not be a candidate for
reelection.
An effort is being made to induce the
committee to call a delegate convention
to nominate a candidate, but there is no
doubt but that it is the wish of the voters
of the district that the legislative candi-
date be chosen by the Australian system
on the same day the county primaries
are held. The extra expense would be
very light, as the same judges and clerks
could serve and the only expense would
be for printing the tickets and providing
extra ballot boxes.
The three candidates Tor this nomina-
ton are r. b. WEIGH, Geo. w. Veale and
E ID. McKeever.
DR. ID. c. Jones who still retains his
political residence in Topeka is chair
man of the district central committee.
The other members of the committee
are Silas Rain, w. A S. Bird, n. d.
Mckinley, F. III. Foster, Rufus Knott, A
K Rodgers, George Gerbrick and W. FL.
Fisher.

STREETS AND SEWERS.

Action Finally Taken to Dispose of the
 MagiII Street Surface Water.
 Mayor Kilduff presided at the meeting of the road board last night. Bills to the amount of 8 537 2G were ordered paid.
 In the matter of relieving Magill street from surface water City Attorney Burpee reported that he had proceeded as far with the work as the vote of the board author ized hIm to go. He had no power to act. he said. He had been appointed to negotiate for a right of way for a storm water pipe from a point at the corner of bridge and Magill streets. through the land of the ScovIll Manufacturing Co. This he had done and he was prepared to draw uD papers and complete the arrangements if the board should instruct him to do so. City Engineer Cairns explained the propo- sItions made to the city in relation to the right of way. The company will deed as much land as is needed for the pipe to the city free, provided the city agrees to straiGhten the sewer in their yard and build two catch basins at the corner of Dublin and Bridge streets. The sewer in Scovlll's yard belongs to the city and would need repairing in short time. The catch basins are needed at Dublin street. It will not be necessary to proceed with the work this year. The board thought the proposition a very fair one and at the request of the members the city attorney drew up the following r solution which was presented to the meeting and passed:
 Voted, that the board accept the propo- sition of the Scovill Manufacturing Go. to allow the city right of way for sewer from the corner of Bridge to Magill streets to their canal as made to the city engi- neer's plans. and that the city attorney be instructed to draw up the necessary con- veyances for such purposes according to said terms"
 After the resolutions wele passed James Hartnett. who had been looking for some such action for the past six months walked out of the meeting and returned to his home in high spirits. He has suffered much on account of storm water at thi. point
 In the matter of change of grade or Round Hill street the city engineer was in structed to make an estimate of how mucl the land of the different property owner would be afflicted by the proposed chang, of grade. The board adjourned to Octobe | 1 at 1 o'clock in the afternoon.

MILITARY MATTERS.
A NH ltary-PoliticaI Deal in the Interest a of Colonel Doherty. N

A NH utary-Poiftlcat Deal tn the Ahtcrcst
 sy of Colonel Doherty.
 A dispatch from New Haven states. ~
 .'Connecticut National Guard members of this city have been actively engaged in discussing for the past week the candidacy of Colonel Doherty of Waterbury to be brigadier general, commanding the Con- necticut brigade. 0. N. G.
 ''HIs absence from the armory Tuesday of last week when the meeting to award prizes in the regular regimental rifle tour nament was held has been commented upon ever since. It is understood that Colonel Doherty is manipulating mili- tary political deal in the interest of his candidacy. Colonel Doherty is the first candidate to enter the field and this news has created considerable interest in c. N. G. circles"
 And this from Bridgeport:
 ''The question of Colonel Doherty s candidacy was referred to several officers of the City battalion yesterday. All of them were thoroughly convinced that Colonel Doherty was sparing nn efforts to succeed General Ravens, who, it Is said, will retire to accept the position of assist. ant-adjutant-general, which is salaried position.
 A well-known gentleman when shown the New Haven dispatch remarked at onct that the date of Colonel Doherty's ab sence from the regimental meeting in New Haven was the date of his presence in thii city upon the ratification meeting of thu Connecticut State League of Republican clubs in the Park City theatre.
 Colonel Doherty's presence was re marked by quite a number of persons an' several c. N. G. men, who had heard ru mors of his candidacy, wondered if tn visit to Bridgeport had anything to d. with it. Most of the republican nominee on the state ticket were in town and othe prominent republicans.
 .'The candidacy is a surprise to tn . brigade at large. inasmuch as Colont Doherty caused to be published severa months ago in the Hartford papers that b would surely resign after camp. Mindful of the knowledge of the ir , dignation of the brigade powers in tn , matter of certain indiscretions which dii turbed Camp Bradley it was generally suI posed that the colonel would retire by Nc vember l, at the latest. and it is undel stood that his most intimate friends sti , insist that he will do so."

The PlainviiIe Burglary.

PLAINvILLE. Oct 4.-The mystery sur rounding the big haul at the Hotel We'll iDgton is as deep as ever. Mir Goodwin, one of the proprietors, arrived here from New Britain this morning He can give no clue for the police to work upon. It is his opinion that some one well acquainted with the premises was at least in the secret, If they did not commit the robbery itself From all appearances the safe was opened by some one who understood the combi- nation, and as far as known only few of the empoyes of the hotel possessed that information. The motor- man of the car on which MT Good win came here from New Britain this morning, says that Mir Goodwin stated he had $1 500 hidden under the mattresses of the beds
 Last Friday the clerk changed a S100 note for man. and this note. together with several others of lesser denominations, was concealed in the beds. This morning these bills were missing. and Mir Good wins nine year old son was accused of having taken them. When pressed with the charge. he produced the s100 note, and destroyed it rather than return it.
