POLITICS in WARD 3.
Alderman Mccarthy May Be
RenOminated.
Republican Vote Will BE Increased.
North End Notes.

LEGAL politics in Ward Three hav ve COM
letely overshadowed the residential
campaign. Ii Is believed that with the as
sisiance OF the ward committee Alder
man Mccarthy will De renominated at
the Democratic caucus. There was sons
talk at one time to the effect thar he
would be beaten, bat as those orposed
10 his denomination did but little work
1t begins TO look as If be would succeed
once again. The nun Der OF aspirants for
the Common Council nominations contin-
ues large and as all cannot be selected
there are apt TO be many disappointed
ones. The withdrawal OF Cjuncilman
Metcalf, ex.Councilman Murphy seems
TO believe, makes an opportunity for him
TO return to the body Of which he was
formerly member.
1t is SAID the Wapskuck Democracy has
objected very sirenuously to his being
again put on the ticket and that al least
half a dozen gentlemen from that section
are anxious to go to the Council this year.
Councilman Kelly is said TO be sure Of a
denomination and this makes things look
rather dubious for the return OF former
Councilman Gibin.
The Republic vote will he larger
than ever this year aud there can be no
doubt that the Rep ublican City Council
ticket will be one that will prove very
attractive to every voter.
The evening schools in this section of
the city, which will have the same ex-
celient principals and CORPS OF teachers
that they had last year, promise to have
even more pupils than they have had
heretofore. Ia no section of the city are
there more young people willing to take
advantage of the benefits TO be derived
from the evening schools. The sessions
will begin next Monday evening.
Two strangers who refused to give their
names, and who were riding bikes, col
loed on Pawtucket avenue last night.
Judging by police reports, there is an
unusual quiet in certain parts of the Sec
ond district that were once as lively as
the present personally conducted Presi-
Dental campaign.
The new Ruggles street sewer has set
tied an old dispute bet Neen the city and
property owners thereon.
Ihe Young Men, Athletic Club will
hold ball on Thanksgiving eve.
AN UNpRoFITABIE RIDE.
Edward Lanigan and q fellow named
McVoy yesterday hired n horse from
Carpenters stable In the rear OF Canal
street and after INDUCING in considerable
liquor went for ride. They had en-
joyed themselves for good while and
made the horse very tired and uncom-
Portable. Officer Boss saw them on Smith
street and told them to return the horse
to the stable. They promised to do so
but forgot to keep their promise and
later.on they we're seen by the officer on
Franklin avenue but they saw the latter
before he could reach them ana drove
through Vale street. They soon after
stopped al liquor saloon and the officer
arrived just as they were leaving the
saloon and he took hold OF Lanigan and
pulled him into the carriage. The horse
was very nervous and officer Bass found
1t was all he could do to manage the
horse and Lanigan, who is apt to be
quite tighter when drunk, 80 McVey
got away. Laniyan was locked up at the
Second station for drunkenness.
