He removed from one point to another in order to get the best possi- | ble view of the object and after satis- | flying himself that there could be no mistake about it he began to think | what he ought to do and while thus oc- cupied he heard some one yawn and saw the pile of hay nearest the leg move. MT Lynch was pretty nervous over the presence of the disjointed member of q human being in his lot so that it did not require much more to scare him so badly that he could no longer contain himself and the moan and movements of the pile of hay sent him | scampering across the lots towards | Jackson street as fast as his heels | could carry him. On the way he en- countered few church goers and told them what he had seen. Some of them thought he was joking, but few per sons, who happened to be acquainted with the gentleman accompanied him back to the hay field. When they reach ed there they saw man sitting among the heaps of hay and the leg stretch ed on the grass beside him. MT Lynch then took in the situation at glance and ordered the man out of the place forthwith. He was one-legged knight of the road, who had been sleeping in the hay and had disconnected the cork
 leg i'll order to render his slumber as peaceful as possible. He did not hesi-
 tate about vacating the premises and in
 a jiffy he had the good leg under him
 and the artificial one under his arm
 and then with the aid of a stick he
 propelled himself out of the lot and took up a position on the roaedSide, where he buckled on the cork leg and then headed towards Bank street. The artificial leg was painted flesh color
 and looked so much like the real thing that it would take a sharp eye to tell the difference even at closer point of observation than MT Lynch first
 had The first thing that occurred to Mir Lynch's mind when he saw the leg was that some one had been killed there and that i'll their efforts to con- ceal their victim the murderers had cut him up and while carrying out their scheme to hide their crime were scared away and disappeared, leaving | the leg behind them.
 The different political factions have been getting down to hard work during the past week and from now on things are expected to wax warm l in the political arena in this district. Much quiet work is going on and ev- cry effort is being made by all fac l tionsl to add to their ranks. Promises l are being made i'll great numbers,
 some of which will have to be brok-
 en. Affairs i'll the Republican camp
 in thisl section are rather quiet. h the fourth ward the office of alderman is going begging. It is hard to find any person who. wants the nomina- ton, fwhieh means4a a defeat. But not I so in the third ward, one of the bull warks of republicanism. Here there
 are number of probable candidates. l It is said that of the three aldermen l who now represent this ward in the
 aldermanic chamber, only Alderman ChessOn desires renomination, and
 he will get it. Aldermen Walker and
 Callan are reported as having express
 ed themselves as being opposed to renomination. Walter D. Ford, who is employed in the office of Holmes, | Booth & Hayden, is a very strong can
 didate for alderman. He has a strong following. He is a very bright pro-
 gressiye young man, and would no 4 doubt represent the third ward in a fine manner. The friends of w. D. l Lancaster, a foreman at Holmes,
 Booth x Hayden's, are pushing him
 forward as candidate for seat in the
 aldermanic chamber. His chances are
 very bright He lives in the annexed
 district, being member of the Town
 Plot school district. Samuel w.
 Chapman, an ex-alderman, would like
 to serve on the board again Charles
 V. Bolth could have a nomination if
 he wanted it. But it is said he is to
 move from Waterbury in the fall In
 the democratic camp the different fac
 tions are doing great work. In the
 fourth ward there will be three or four tickets. The administration tick Tet will no. doubt be headed by the
 fpresento aldermen, Mahaney, Morris and Boylan. They are three strong , men and their record is a good one. The Dr Hayes. ticket will be headed !; by John Brophy, Steve O'Brien and , James Murray. Brophy Is an ex-al- , derman, Steve O'Brien is an ex-presi- ,l dent of the Brooklyn A. O., while : Murray is also a very popular man. It {, is strong titcket. It was thought ,l that Jeremiah Devine would be on this r ticket but from the above it seems , that he is considered out of the race.
 In the third ward there will be three
 or more tickets. Who will head them : is now a doubtful question. Joseph
 Stokes, IT, one of the most popular Lithuanians in this district, will be on one of the tickets. He has a large following and his name will add strength to whatever ticket it is on. Bernard Koppe of Riverside street is
 seeking nomination as constable on the democratic ticket and he will make strong fight for it. All the Italian votes in town are said to be in line for a certain one of the candi- dates for mayor One prominent Ital- ian is doing much work among his countrymen for his choice for the posi-
 tion of mayor.
