wnl Probably SIgu Contracts With
 the New York Club To-day.
 Roger Connor and Jim O'Rourke went to New York yesterday and called upon D. R. TalCOtt of the New York club. Saws the New York Sun: Nothing def nite was done, but in all probability both will sign contracts to-day, after they have conferred with President Day. They say that they will leave for home this afternoon, and this is a sure indica- tion that they expect to have no trouble in coming to terms.
 O'Rourke takes a most sensible view of the situation, and so does Connor. Both are enthusiastic over the prospects for the coming season, and they think it will be fully us successful us in previous seasons. The New York team, in their opinion, will be stronger than ever be- fore, and in fact the strongest, as far as individuality goes, that has ever been organized.
 Do you think there will be a har- monyy" was asked ORourkc.
 "Iarmony! We'll, 1 have no doubt of it. There must be harmony in the ranks if the team is to be winner. Ies. know efforts are being made to create discord, but you can bet your very eX. istence that such efforts will not be sue cessful. The New York public wants a team that will win, and shall do my duty in that respect, contributing all l can to it. To tell you the truth do not see how harmony can help but prevail. The players will get all wrapped up in a game, and their hearts will be set on winning caused by a certain sense of pride.">
 Connor said: "I am in good condition and will play as good ball as ever did. The capitalists have done the right thing and We should do the same. Nc team can be prosperous unless the players are in harmony. Nobody need fear but that everything wlll be all right in our team. Every player is strong individually, and think we will surprise somebody before the end of the season. agree with Glasscock that the team should take southern trip. It would help to get the players limbered up, and then they would be in good con dition to open the season. l have been on one southern trip, and, although did not like il, yet there is no question but that it is beneiiciel."

An Open Letter.
To the Manager of Co Cts Tug-of- Wal

To the Manager of Co Cts Tug-of- War Team:
 Dear Sir: Your challenge in the Wa terbury American to the Frenchmen to pull against your team would have the public believe that your standing as a tug -ofwar team. or your pride. rather, was badly injured. In that challenge, you claim the talk going on about the town has damaged you very much. My friend, you know as well as do that the French people have no team, in fact never said they had. The question be- fore the people is this Are you going to accept that challenge from the Bridge port team if not you have every reason to feel annoyed. Now, my friend, I would advise you to meet that team and save your pets from the jeers not only of your friends but the public at large Yours Truly,

 Well, you see, Susie, the pet of our house, is seven years old, and wife and have been thinging that as she is not very strong it would be the proper thing to give her musical education. You know, John. when you and were children attention was not so much in that direction and it was not considered so much of qualifica- tion as at present, so 1 don't wonder in the least at the look of surprise that crosses your face. But really, John, your wife asked me to bring up the subject to you as for piano, as well; and she was of the opinion that if we should decide to both buy at once that Shoninger would give us a discount. l understand they are very reasonable with honest people who desire piano, and being honest themselves that firm would be the best to patronixe. What do you think!
 Why, Peter, l have been thinking for some time on the same subject. and I stepped into the store this morning and requested MT Pelham to give me a list of names comprising recent purchasers He very kindly and l must say little proudly acceded to my request by bringing forth Il list of name s, that fairly astonished ne. ENainine it. John, perusing.) Whew, but that Is surelyaa sumner. If those people who are judges have decided for the Shonlnger piano we ought to commence the year right by doing likewise.

Milo BIdwell Objects to Being
 Considered Insane.
 Lawyer w. w. Bidwell of Collinsville intends to bring suit soon on behalf of his son, Milo Bidwell, for $l0.O dam ages, against William Warren of West field, Mass. Milo Bidwelrs story is that some time ago Mir Warren asked him to meet him (Mr Warren) at hotel in Westfield that after the meeting, the two went to the office of the Warren Whip X Thread company; that there a physician appeared, who felt his pulse, and pronounced him insane; that there upon Mir Warren had him locked up in a cell over night as an insane person, and that the next day, when he was re- leased, he walked unassisted and showed no signs of insanity whatever. The suit is to recover damages for alleged false imprisonment.
 Mir Bldwell told some thing last night that seemed to him to explain the case. He had for some time been keeping company" with a young woman of Collinsville, and had felt so sure that he was to marry her that, he says, he had eXpened S3,000 in a home for them to live in. This same young lady had a former suitor, according to his story, in person of Arthur Warren of Westfield, and this person had of late been renew ing his attentions to the young woman in question. And William Warren, who he claims, imprisoned him falsley, is q brother of this Arthur Warren.
