MORE WORCESTER men.
The Forty-sixth Will Con.
tain Many From
This City.

The local representation in the Forty
sixth regiment of volunteers stationed
at South birmingham and soon to leave
that place for the far east where they
will engage in battle with Aguinaldo
and his cohorts only equals that of
other regiments in the service of Uncle
Sam, both volunteers and regulars.
The local recruiting Office in the
Walker building has done much to-
wards filing the ranks of the Forty
sixth and bringing it up to its present
war strength. When that regiment
leaves South birmingham for the Phil
ippines, Monday morning at 8 o'clock,
the many friends of the Worcester boys
will watch their every movement with
the keenest interest.
The men from this city are outnum-
bered by those from the county and
many of the men recruited at the Wal
ker building station come from out of
the county and state. The local men
recruited at the regular army station
in this city are as follows: George E.
Regain, Il Vernon street; Alphonse j.
B1ckford, 373 Park avenue; James
Smith, IL Crompton street; Joseph De-
PLANE, Is Norfolk street; Charles Oils,
Is Winfield street; William Martin, 1888
Cambridge street; William Bjorkman,
s Rodney street; Daniel B. Goulding, 10
Thomas street.
The men from the county furnish
their quota to the regiment, and are as
follows; Joseph Maynard William
Simpson, Joseph Perron, John Temple
of No. Grafton p. j. O'Malley, Henry
Sasseville, Michael Byrnes and Thos.
W. Holt of Clinton; John Fearon,

William German, Putnam, CT.
The regiment leaves Monday morn
ing at O'Clock on its initial stage of
it's trip to the Philippines. The Ches-
apealke and Ohio railroad seems to be
the successful competitor in securing
the transportation of the command, it's
tender having been accepted among the
dozen or more sent in by other lines.
The equipment for moving the regi-
ment from South birmingham to Jer-
sey City will consist of is baggage
cars, two palace horse cars and 26 or
binary passenger coaches The latter
will be furnished by the New York,
New Haven and Hartford road, and
the baggage and horse cars by the
Chesapeake and Ohio.
The route will be via the Consol
idated system to Harlem river and
thence to Jersey City by boat, where
the Pennsylvania road will take the
troops to Washington and turn them
over to the Chesapeake and Ohio. From
Chicago, west the route is at present
unknown, but it is believed that the
Union Pacific will secure the contract.
When the train leaves South Framing
ham it will be run in four sections and
on a special schedule. Arrangements
have been made for handling the COM
mand as expeditiously as possible so
as to avoid delay in delivering to the
western connections.
