MANCHESTER. 
The political situation remains about 
the same this week, there being still 
only two candidates for the vacancy 
in the selectmen’s office,—Walter R. 
Bell and Benj. S. Bullock. The 
special election will be held Monday, 
May 28. 
Houdini, the famous handcuff 
wizard and jail-breaker, was not in 
town last Sunday afternoon, though 
it is said his double was here. At 
any rate the chief locked a Manches- 
ter young man who had been imbibing 
a little too freely in one of the cells. 
He left the station and when he re- 
turned he found that Houdini 2d had 
opened the cell door and escaped. 
Jos. Pink & Co., are out this week 
with a new order wagon to assist in 
handling their business. 
Lawrence J. Watson: who has been 
in Plainfield, N.J., the past two win- 
ters,» returned to Manchester this 
week and will probably spend the 
summer here.

At her home on Washington street, 
last Friday, Mrs. Mary Young passed 
her 92d birthday very quietly. Until 
very recently Mrs. Young was very 
active, but for the past year or two 
she has been quite feeble, though she 
has not lost her wonderful memory, 
and she can still relate with interest 
events of years and years ago. She 
makes her home with her son, Tree 
Warden Wm. Young. 
A hearing was held at the select- 
men’s room Thursday afternoon on 
the proposed relocation of Brook street. 
Mrs. S. S. Peabody offered objections 
to taking a strip from her property on 
the corner of Brook street and Nor- 
wood avenue on the ground that the 
property was intended for two house 
lots, and by taking from it would 
destroy the value of the land for that 
purpose. Jos. Lipman, representing 
the Giles estate, said their property 
was a family homestead, and the tak- 
ing of the land would necessitate their 
going elsewhere, as the lot was small, 
but they had given the town an option 
of the whole thing if they choose to 
buy.
