DEATH OF MR.. MCANN.
Mr.. Joseph r. Mccain, well known
resident of Manchester, died last night
after an illness Of several months Wnile
the news of his death is not a surprise
it is nevertheless a shock to the city, ne
having lived here for a number Of years
and been held in the highest esteem by
those who, knew him. Mr.. Mccain was
taken worse several days ago and all
hope of his recovery was given up. The
end came last night at. 9:45 o'clock. He
had been married three times. He is sur
vived by his wife and four small chill
dren. The arrangements for the funeral
have not yet been completed.
STOLE "A COAT.
A bold robbery was reported on Hull
Street last night. a negro going into
the store Of Mr.. Sam Myers. on Hull be-
tween Thirteenth and Fourteenth, asked
to see coat One of the best in the store
was shown him, and he tried it on 1t
mt him very nicely. Walking near the
door, he suddenly made a dash and went
down the street at a great rate. Be-
fore any one could get out OF the store
the negro had gotten such start that he
soon lett his pursuers, who lost the trail
of him. y
A LEGAL POINT.
Does the redistricting of the words of
Manchester necessarily affect the boun-
DIARIES Of the school districts? is a ones.
ton of much interest to members Of the
Council and the School Board Before
the change of the boundaries Of the
wards, when the new charter came into
effect, the boundaries of the four school
districts conformed to those of the
four wards The change in the wards
has placed members of the School Board
who were elected by Councilmcn from
one ward to be residents of other wards
As a result. where there are three men
form each ward III the School Board by
reason Of the change in ward boundaries
and not in school districts, some wards
Will have two representatives while others
will have four.
Judge Clopton. City Attorney. holds
that the school districts are not changed
by the changing of the wards. sMessrs
]. IT. Abbott and w. B.2Bradey, mem.
bers Of the Council, claim that under
the law the boundaries of the school dis.
tricts shall conform to the boundaries
Of the wards. IF Judge Clopton is sus-
tained there will be no changes in the
School Board. In TIE event that The
members of the Council decide against
him. there will be a great change. Mir
j. J.. Bailey, the present chairman of the
board. was appointed from the Fourth
Ward. Since the changinE.of he wards
he finds himself in the Second. This
leaves. speaking OF the wards, and not
school districts. only two Representatives
in the BOARD from the Fourth.
MAY BE INDEPENDENT.
Constituents of Mr.. Waverly Nunnally
Councilman from the First Ward, are
contemplating running him for the City
Assembly, regardless of the regular pri
mary. BY reason of being sick on the
night the list closed for the primary

meeting OF the City Committee was helt
Friday. night. when the petitions ask
to make some concessions in his favor
was presented. BY a vote OF four t.
three the members left him out.
