AMBITION 0F JERRY.
(New Haven Lender.)
State Senator “Jerry" Donovan. of
Norwalk, is on a new political tack,
so it is reported from the western
part of the state with porslstcucy that
to many minds gives authenticity to
the rumor.
What the senator is now accused of
is. a quest. for the Democratic nomina-
tion for copgreenman-at-large next
year, with the air-brakes ready to be
put on at any moment. He will do his
utmost. to capture tlils nomination, it
is said, providing Senator “Jim"
Walsh of Greenwich is the Republi-
can candidate. ‘~
lionovan is determined to get. the
scalp ot‘ Walsh, even as he was in the
senate sossion which was closed after
it struggle last July. lie longs again
for tho time when he can hear the
soulful melody of his safety valve,
anti will treat the public ears to it
from many rostrunis.
ll' Walsh is not a candidate for con-
gl‘t‘ssnltlllviti-itll‘gt‘., riliuor hath it that
Jerry will run for lieutenant governor.
'l‘ho lit'lllellillll. governor in the luv

Would just like to frame up these coni-
mltioos. Could ho do so. he might be
cxpeclod to serve notice on the “pro-

It is a great ambition that llnclc
Jerry has, and tho "poopul" will watch
his progress with surpassing Interest.
One thing about. it~llncle Jerry is
honest, fearless and often very intcr~

THE MAYFLOWER DISCONTINUED.

(in account. of luck of patronage, the
New York, New Haven and Hartford
Railroad Company has decided to dls~
continue the Mayflower Limited be-
tween New York and Boston, the five
hour train which leaves either city at
8 a. m., stopping at New Haven, east-
bound at 9:38 a. m., and westbound
at 11:18 a. m.
_The last trip of this train, in either
direction will be made on Saturday.
November 2, 1007.
The withdrawal of the Mayflower
leaves three first class trains each
way betweenANew York and Boston
daily. The other limiteds are the Bay
State. Knickerbocker and Ml‘l'CilfllliS.
The Mnyflowvr was the last. of the fivo
hour trains to be adtloli and it was
thought at that time it wold be a pay"
lug proposition. An extra chargo of
$2 is made for a seat in one of those
trains, which are the finest. operated
on the New Haven road. The Mayflow-
er has been in service about three
years.

Misadventures of Six County
Commissioners ~— llorse on
One Team Broke its Neck Yoke
and Went , into Ditch +Three
Commissnoners Rode Into
Newlown on a Rail
More it ill one misadventure attend-
ed the in motion of the bridges across
the Housatoulc river Saturday by the
commissioners of New Haven and
Fairficld counties. They started out
expecting a fine drive through the
counties. They started out expecting
a fine drive through the country on a
fine day and closed their Journey a
sore lot mentally and physically.
One of the incidents of their trip.
which Is almost epoched was the
grand entry of Commissioners Walter
of New Haven county, lirophy of Fair-
llcld county, together with Col. James
(leddcs, commander of the Second 116'
glnient, who is also ll. commissioner
of New Haven county, into the historic
and conservative of Nowtoivii,.rlding
on a roll. The natives up thorn thought
that. the reforming gentlemen who
have for decades demanded the abo-
lishmcnt. of the boards of county coni-
missions hml finally, tiring of moral
persuasion begun to carry on their cru-
sade by the process of physical force.
Such was not the case, no matter
how receptive to such probable spec-
tacle the people had become accustom-
ed. The coinniissitmors rode Into
town‘, 'tis true on a rail, but it was a
rail that made a fourth wheel. The
wheel that was inlsiiing was left, two
miles away from town In a, ditchhand
it. was extrouicly lucky that Col. God-
dcs and Commissioner Ilrophy did not
share possession of the ditch with the
wheel.
To get back to the beginning of the
narrative. The New Haven commlsv
sioners were the guests of the Fair-
fiold connnlssionors, Mossors, Meade.
l’uaso and iirophy, ’l‘lie it‘ail't‘lold mcn
arranged for foams to be furnished by
Senator Houllhan, the hotel map in
Newtown. The tennis duly arrived at
llotsford and the start was made for
Zoar bridge, which was to bo inspected
and after Zoar's bridge thou Bennett's
bridge and then the bridge at South-
bury.
There were two teams making up
the caravan. In one team besides the
drivor was Commissioner ’l‘hompson,
of New Huron and Meade anti Peat-1e
of Falrficld.
Commissioner Wulkor, (icddos
llrophy sat in tho olhor team.
While traveling along tho country
road enjoying the beautiful scouery.
one of the “nags” on the team which
(‘omnilssltmcr 'l‘hompton was stat-ring
with tho driver. iurvhcd into a cam
clous ditch beside the road. The neck
who had broken.
“Well, I swam!" ejaculated Thomp-
son.
The second wagon was just behind
and the two horses attached to it bark
ed their front legs by coming abrupt.-
n n d
Nothing thon‘ to debut to fix the?
neck yokeand the pronoun was mighty
interesting. Thompson pretended to,
know how to do It, but In his efforts
do so did not manage lt‘vory well, and
Walter tried hits hand at‘the remedy.
to Ho robbed other portions of the bar-
ness on the horses and patched up
the neck yoke. .The driver was eXDOEiJI-
fated with such purlotning and for the
first. tiniottho commissioners discover-
on that the teams did not. batons t0
Houlibun, but to some furthers “who
were turning their hand to the making
of an extra dollar.
The neck yoke repaired the journey
was resumed, after the horse was lain-
hosted so he got out. of the ditch. Some
one suggested that they go over to soc
Round Castle, u fiuuous historical
place. it was on the Way to the castle
that one of the Iiiud wheels on the
wagon burdened with Mcssero (led~
ties, Bropliy and Walter, came off with-
out a warning.
(loddcs and llrophy wore on the back
seat, Walter and driver jumped out
when the wheel refused to do further
service and as they looked around they
saw the athletic Geddes holding onto
the secured Brophy to keep him from
tumbling out of the wagon.
Again the former experiences of Wills
tor came into play with sundry sot,-
gestions from the gentleman of East
Have , and a wooden rail from a
worm fence hard by was i'eqlllstiiofled
into service. After the rail had been
properly adjusted to tho‘hiud axle, the
caravan proceeded minus a wheel on
the front wagon, but plus a rail in
excha‘e. The dogs barked all along?
the mo and the farmer' boys jeered. 1
After the procession had arrived at»
Houlihan's hotel in Neivtown, someone)
suggested that. another trip he made
to Round Castle. .
“Not on your tin-typo," said Thoma
son, emphatically. .
it was voted to take the next rall-
rolin train down the Valley niid luspoct
the other bridges latter on. i
