MERCHANTS WILL BE SUED

If They Cease, Giving Trading Stamps
 and Thus Break Their Contracts.
 At the meeting of the local merchants held in Harmonic hall Tuesday night large number of those present declared that they would cease giving trading stamps and coupons to-day. All those who live up to their declaration will no doubt be guilty of breach of contract. This fact has caused many of the mer- chants to hesitate signing an agreement to cease giving the stamps or coupons. At one of the meetings an attempt was made to have committee of safety ap- pointed who should collect an equal sum of money from all signers, which money should be used in the defense of any merchant against whom suit was brought by the stamp company But for some reason the merchants did not take kindly to this move and no com nlittee having been appointed, it will be necessary in event of suit, for each mer- chant to defend himself
 It has been learned from good author ity that if any merchant or merchants are found to have broken their con tracts by refusing to give stamps when called for, proceedings will be imme- diately begun by the stamp or coupon companies. Such an intention on the part of the stamp companies, when gen. erally known, will no doubt have the effect of causing the merchants to con- tinue to give stamps until their con- tracts expire, unless a united effort is made to combat any litigation that may ensue.
 The committee appointed Tuesday night to make general canvas of the city has not yet taken any united ac- tion.

INDIAN NECK HOUSE BURNED.

Destroyed by Fire Early Yesterday
 Morning-To Loss $13,500.
 The Indian Neck house, well known hotel at Branford, was totally destroyed by fire about o'clock yesterday morn ing. The flames were first discovered by the manager of the hotel c. H. Hartman, who is student in the Yale with his wife, to care for the hotel dur ing the winter. MT. Hartman was awakened about 1 o'clock by the noise of the flames and found the hall filled with smoke while flames were just bursting into view at the rear of the hall. He and bis wife made their egress from the building at once, escaping through the window of their room which was eight feet from the ground Running to neighbor's house, Mir Har- riman secured a lantern and returned just in time to save some valuable pa pers. No means of extinguishing the fire were at hand and the flames, when discovered, had gained such headway that all efforts were useless. The loss is estimated at $10,000 for the hotel and about s3,500 for furniture. The fire is supposed to have originated from a de- fective fue. The hotel was built about thirty-three years ago, and was a pop ular resort. It was owned by Miss Mabel Goodrich Of Branford. grand daughter of Elizur Goodrich, who built it.

AMONG BULLS AND BEARS.
What MT. J. R. Keene Says of the sit-
 uation


 What MT. J. R. Keene Says of the Sit-
 uation.
 Boody, Mcclellan & Go. yesterday is- sued the following over their wires:
 MT. J. R. Keene was asked to-day if his sentiments had changed any since December IS, when he said he was confident bull on the market and that man who was not a bull on securities could never be one.
 He said: "I have not changed at all from this position. There has been realizing of profits in certain stocks by people who thought that stocks like Manhattan, Metropolitan Traction and Brooklyn Rapid Transit appeared to furnish better opportunity for quick profits than the lower priced railroad stocks. Then there has been more or less shifting of securities incidental to the large disbursements January 1, but the people who receive the monies dis persed this time must seek some place for reinvestment and this affords the best opportunity. I do not think that the people who sold railroad stocks in order to buy local securities had any other idea than that quicker profits were probable.
 "The reaction in the market has been strictly natural, and to be expected at certain intervals in every great bull market.
 ''The situation appears to me to pre- sent the best market conditions which we have seen for several years, at least six years The Fundamental fact is that the country is full of produce of all kinds, particularly wheat, corn, oats, hogs, etc, for which there is eager mar ket at good prices.
 Manhattan Elevated has never pre- scented more attractive speculative fea- lures than at present, when it can se- | cure extensions and facilities which 1t has long desired and which are essen- tial to it's paying larger dividends. "The Sugar trust has concluded prob ably the most prosperous year in its history. The south is relieved of yell | low fever and is sharing in the prosper | ity.i All over the country except in New England, where the cotton industry is depressed, trade reports are very favor able, and the railway earnings prove | the better business
 Some capital has been made of a possible defeat of Mr. Hanna in Ohio. I cannot believe that the Ohio republi- cans will ignore the debt which that party owes MT. Hanna because of his energy, generalship and ability to se- cure the sinews of war. The country to-day has republican administration. His defeat in Ohio would be a calamity to that party, which, believe, will be realized by the Ohio politicians, and that MT. Hanna will be returned to the | senate. J. R. KEENE."

MRS. P1NKHAM's STANDING
 INVITATION.

Women suffering from any form of femaleweakness are invitedtopro communicate with Mrs. Pinkham, at Lynn, Mass. All letters are re- ceived, opened, read, and answered by women only. A woman can freely talk of her private illness to woman. Thus has been established the eternal confidence between Mrs. Pinkham and the women of America which has never been broken. Out of the vast volume of experience which she has to draw from, it is more than possible that she has gained the very knowledge that will help your case, She asks nothing in return except your good will, and her advice has relieved thousands. Surely any woman, rich or poor, is very foolish if she does not take advantage of this generous offer of assistance.
