COON AND FISH SUPPER.
But the Coon Is Said to Have Been
 E.aftVa VSu~ nos

But the Coon Is Said to Have Been . LIttIe Pug Dog. <s A coon and fish supper is a rather pecu- liar spread, but that's just what took place I at the New England hotel last night when about twenty-five prominent citizens ate a hearty meal, then danced, sung and re- cited until early morning. The coon was captured a couple of months ago by James J. McGrath on his farm on Town plot, and until few days ago it was on exhibi- ! tion in P. Fl. Regan's store window, on Bank street. Thursday J. J. McAulif l caught big mess of fish in Wattle's pond and it was decided to steal the coon from Mir Began and give coon and fish supper. J. J. McGratn was appointed toast master
 John J. McAulif talked for half an hour on the new fire alarm whistle at the electric light station. sWilliam Shepard of the Waterbury Furniture Co sang a solo, and J. A. Hynes recited Behind the Breast works" W. 0viatt gave an address on Electricity and P. H. Began recited. William Hurley delighted the meeting with an excellent rendition of ''When the Corn is Waving. Annie Dear" and John Me Namara danced an Irish jig, The fellows who ate the coon don't know what to say about the rumor that is going the rounds of Bank street to-day. It is stated for a fact that when the coon was stolen from Began. it was placed in the cellar of the New England hotel and that some one in the secret removed it and left a chubby little pug dog belonging to an Italian on Jackson street in its place. skinned and all, so that no one could tell the difference. The coon will be served tonight to a select party. Those who attended last nights festivities deny this, but it is a fact that some of them are not at their usual places of business to-day.

Is Uncertain Whether or Not He
 Wants to Return to Congress. WAsHINGToN, March 3. = Congressman Pigott is still in town. He expects to re- main here for several days picking up odds and ends of his congressional work in order as he says that all his constituents who have applied to him for, information books. seeds and assistance may have their requests granted in so far as he is able to grant them. He will then return to Connecticut, after his brief stay in New York and take up his practice of law. He is uncertain whether he wants to come back to congress and will not make up his mind for some time to come.
 Speaking of the political situation in Connecticut he said: Though the re- publicans seem at present to have the upper hand, there is, in my opinion, no reason for the democrats to feel crest fallen. We have been beaten before worse than we were last fall and we have revived with rapidity and recovered our former strength. This we will do this time"
