they are mother and daughter, and you

tlmately associated with the local health

DOG DAY POLITICS.
No Great Demand for Special Elec-
tion-AIdermen Opposed to It.

In regard to the necessity for a special
election to fill the vacancy caused by the
death of Alderman George F. Wall, the
mayor and every member of the board of
aldermen save President Henry Brannon
fail to see where it is imperative, and it
appears that majority of the people are
adverse to the city going to the expense
On the republican side, Willis E. Sibley,
who was mentioned has said positively
that he will have none of it. He has all
that Is coming to him In the law and has
no use for any empty honors in the board
of aldermen.
The mayor has gone on record as saying
that in his opinion there is really no need
of a special election. He does not look
upon the section of the city charter that
bears upon this point as having any man
datory weight.
The executive committee of the demo-
cratic state central committee is to have
a meeting at the Boston headquarters to-
day The time and date of the state con-
vention will be decided upon and the two
factions in the party, the one led by
George Fred Williams, the other by Josiah
Quincy, are likely to show their hands.
The Williams men control the machine
and to prove their strength are said to
favor holding the convention In Boston
Democratic leaders throughout the state,
including those in Worcester are being
sounded to ascertain their views in regard
to Bryan. The Bryan men are leaving no
stones unturned tqSSecure the nomination
of their man.

this city last night from Newark, N. j.,
with Samuel Cohen, alias Samuel Rome,
arrested in that city several days ago,
for the larceny Of a team from Har-
rington Brothers stable in this city,
about three months ago.
Cohen admits hiring the team and
later disposing of it. He says he i'm
mediately left Worcester after getting
possession of the team and drove over
the road to New York city, where he
disposed of the outfit to a scalper liv-
ing on 74th street. He then went to
Newark and for time lived in Tren-
ton. While he was in Trenton In
spector Stone got wind Of him and he
was traced to Newark, where he was
arrested. Since he left Worcester
Cohen has been in Cleveland, and told
Inspector Stone last night he did not
expect to be captured
The Worcester inspector made re-
markedly quick trip, leaving Worcester
Tuesday evening and getting back in
"a hours. The New Jersey authorities
did everything they could for him, and
the trip differed in every respect from
the one Inspector O'Day made to New
Hampshire a short time ago.
