J. Richardson, were sent to the National Army cantonment this moring. In addition to the two men who went in custody of the police- man, seven others from the second e emption district also went. These are the men who lost their train last week and subsequently reported to the authorities with a good excuse. They were: Peter Skowronek, Shring street; Oscar Kellberg, 546 Kast Main street; Felix Kaminski of Waterbury; Joseph Dobasynskas, wha came from Binghampton, Y., in response to his orders; Charles A. Deming, who hurried here from Hampton, Va., in response to a similar call; John Jer- vaise of 316 Elm street; Mathew Mouradian of 14 1-2 Spring street. Other Names Certified., Secretary Robb of the second ex- emption district, this morning an- nounced an additional list of whose names have been certified to Zhe district board and most of whom, in all probability, will be called to go mext month.

Of the 41 who showed up 39 were found qualified to become electors and the oath was administered to them. The other two were rejected for variois reasons. As sixty-five names crossed from last year's list because of deaths or removals from town this year's list . will be even smaller. Be- oause so few were made Saturday, their being given a chance to vote will not have much bearing on the town election which will be held a week from today, it is thought.
