and Coleman The trouble occurred
over some work which Harris was en-
gagged In while working at the cooper
trade al the Eastern. Hot words en-
sued, followed by fight. in which, IL
is alleged. Harris pulled out razor anu
slashed Coleman across the stomach IL
hicting a very serious wound. DR.. Nc

THE MUNICIPAL ELECTION.
The municipal election of Manchester
will be held next May at which time tho
officers to be elected are mayor, Com
monwealths attorney, city sergeant, one
councilman from each ward. and a justice
Of the peace from each ward. As TO
whether there will be a Democratic pri-
mary. it has not yet been decided, but
1t Is more than probable that one will
be held. as it has always been the Gus
tom heretofore.
Mayor Maurice. who has filed the Of
flee of mayor with much credit 10 him
self for the past four years, Will be
candidate, and as yet he has no Opposi-
ton. For city sergeant, Mr.. Henry titz-
gerald, who has faithfully conducted the
duties OF that office since the city was
incorporated. viii also be a candidate for
another term. and il is hardly probable
that ne will have opposition.
COMMONWEALTHS ATTORNEY.
As to the COmmonW ealth's attorneyship.
IL is hard Go tell how many people Will
DE in the race. but as yet there IS no
opposition TO the present man. M the
last election there were four candidates
ia The race. and Captain Attkisson re
coyed the nomination Dy very large
majority.
The councilmen whose terms expire this
summer are Messrs. Fitzgerald, First
ward. Pool. from tho Second Hart, from
the Third. and Utz. from the Fourth.
IL is likely that all of these gentlemen
Will be candidates for another term.
The gentlemen who hold the offices OF
Justices OF the peace in the different
wards will no doubt be candidates this
spring, with the exception of Second
ward. where there viii be a vacancy. oc-
casioned by the resignation OF Mr. J.

ton of deputy clerk of the Hastings
Court. Ia this ward, it Is said that
