 Owing to the race for the county
 commissionership among the twenty five or so republican representatives from New Haven county, it would not surprise those on the inside if Com
 missioner Munson is re-appointed. Half the representatives from this
 county are running for the office and if each man votes for himself MT Mun- son will hold over for some time, any way. One who keeps informed on do-
 ings legislative, said yesterday. he would wager any sum that Munson
 will succeed himself. For. this nomi-
 nation there will be q caucus next Thursday.
 A recruiting station was opened to-
 day in the Odd Fellows building. The
 recruiting officer is Captain Thomas
 H. Wilson of the Second Infantry.
 which is distributed between the
 Philippine and several posts in the hn cto ln i,,
 charge of Ronald E. Burns of the gen.
 eral service. Two candidates for en- listment were rejected to-day. In view of the large number of men out of employment the officers at the sta
 tion to-day said they expected to show
 a good record here for the first month
 or two, at all events. The regular
 army has been increased by an act of
 congress to 100000. Thirty-five thous-
 and volunteers will return from for

 Bank street, in the vicinity of the Plume & Atwood Manufacturin con- pany, was the scene of rather a little
 commotion this morning about 9:3O At that time two men who are em- ployed by the Hall & Upson Ice con- pany, left their ice team standing in | the yard of the above concern while | they were delivering ice within the shop While thus engaged, the horses in some manner became frightened
 and dashed at full speed out of the
 yard onto Bank street, swung around the wagon just in front of the office of the Farrell Foundry, where a team belonging to the Adams EX-
 press company was standing. The ice wagon struck both the horse and eN-
 press. knocking the former complete ly to the ground and freeing him from all harness and damaging the eH- | press team to q considerable extent. | Only for the promptness of several by 1 islanders in catching the fleeing horses l there is no doubt but that considerable
 more damage would have been done. The iron post in front of the Farrell | Foundry was almost completely bent down by the force of the wagon striking against it so much so that it l had to be removed. The next event on the political pro. | gramme in New Haven county politics says a writer in the Hartford Times,
 that is of magnitude enough to at | tract general attention of the republi l can politicians, is the case of Hart D. l Munson, who wants to be county com 1 missioner for another term. He is
 going to have some hard scratching
 to get there. His fight in one wherein
 he will. have need for as many hind
 feet of rabbits as he can pick up i'll
 several burial places at the weird hour 1 of midnight when the moon is just i going down on the other side of the | Woodbridge hills. But AIunson is a
 plucky chap. Clustering. doesn't scare
 him. He has played the game of poll. tical poker himself and he knows whether he has shadow or substance
 to buck against. There is one piece of l news that may cheer him up. Repre-
 sentative Lilley of Waterbury will
 vote for him according to report l Lilley is the man who led the hie 1 fight against Studley. for Cable. and 1 won. It isn't at all likely that Lilley l will lift his finger for or against Nun son other than to simply vote for him Some New Haven county republicans had classed Lilley against Munson \ and hearing this. those who know something of Lilley's power and push fconcluded it was all day, for Muns6n
 Now when he hears that Lilley is fol hhn. Munsons dreams may become g
 tr36e less on the nightmare order:
