Corners. Charles F. Murphy. the Tammany leader,
is enthusiastic about its prospects.
1t looks more and more if Murphy and Com
nerS had parted company for all time. Mr.. Corners
with characteristic energy, has all around the
state visiting thu state committeeman and makins
himself solid with them, with the idea Of
ming the state machine pretty much his way.
He is no longer saying things about NcCarren. ~
is believed ir Tammany Hall that McCaTren and
Corners will be fighting together at the state
convention, and Chat Mayor McCIellan's friends
will he with them This would mean. if their plans
carried, the breaking of Murphys hold the state
organization.
Murphy the real directing force the last
state convention. Corners did the best he could.
but he had TO play second fiddle. Fe didn't like II

Murphy has discovered the drift of things and he
rejoices over thu prospect OF the Saratosa confer

What the Teams are Doing in Prepa-
 ration for 1909.
 An exchange says that "Elmer and Albert Shook of Sh effield have received offers to play with the Lakeville baseball team next season providing Sheffield has no team in the league. Sheffield will probably have a team, however aud an effort is being made even at this early stage to have Schmidt, the star twirler, who is now at Cornell University. 1t is believed that by starting early a team can be turned out here which will make a fine bid for the pennaut. Nearly all of last years nine are ill town" We cannot understand how the Shook brothers can play with aby team but Sheffield if the rules which governed last years players are to be again adopted. And if they are not adopted that is to say that portion of them re- stricting players to local men, there are some of the teams that will absolutely decline to enter the league. The most effective way to kill the league and de crease the interest in base ball would be to let down the bars and permit the teams to procure players wherever they pleased It would then mean simply that the pennant would go to the team which could raise the largest poodle with which to hire players.
 The Salisbury team loses good player and gentleman by the removal of Ralph Dye from Chapinville to Washington.
 The Lime Rock-Falls Village team will probobly have George Traver of last years Lakeville team, in the box next season. He is now employed by the Barnum, Richardson Company at Lime Rock. MT. Traver is a resident of the town of Salisbury and is therefore eligible to play with either of the three teams in that town,

fees was illegal and void and contrary to public policy, that a lawyer could not take case agreeing to pay the costs and conduct it for a percentage of what he recovered, and that the assignment to Morse was fraudulent, illegal and void and that the insurance companies were entitled to recover back the money they had paid.
 Judge Reed sustained all of the points claimed by the insurance companies, and directed that the money to the amount of the sum paid by them, be paid from the judgment.
 This suit was brought in 1905, and has been bitterly contested in the courts ever since. The Railroad Com pany was represented by their attorney William B. Boardman of Bridgeport Morse and Gary by Charles &. Hamilton and O. A. Morse of New Haven. L. J. Nickerson of West Corn wall was, as before stated, the attorney for all the insurance companies and has been highly complimented on hls victory inasmuch as it establishes a precedent in this state. Particularly pleasing was it to the insurance companies who stated when MT. Nickersou went to their offices that it was so long since they had been victorious at law that they wanted to look at the man who was able to win this case for them.

 At the suggestion of MT. Woodruff of Litchfield, the Club members and their guests arose and drank toast to MT and Mrs. Carl Stoeckel the generous and intensely interested patrons of the or ganization.
 R. E. Garter of Washington, report ing for the book committed said that the manuscript for the Clubs fourth volume, "The Clergy of Litchfeld County" has been received from Rev. Arthur Goodenough of Winchester, who preparedit. It will contain pictures of churches in New Hartford. New Milford, Winsted, Norfolk, Town Hill aud other places, pictures of old-time ministers, Beecher, Robbins, Marsh, Kinney. Perrin, Bushnell, Isham and, a list of the clergy from Colonial days to the present. Three hundred copies will be printed, 200 for the Club and 100 for library distribution. The book will probably be ready for distribution at the June meeting.
 ReY. Dr. Alderman of Torrington ex- tended to she Club the invitation of the Choral Union to be present at the com plimentary concert to be given by the Union for the Club on such night dur ing next June as may be designated by the president of the Club in conjunction with the regular meeting of the Clut and on motion of Rev J. o. Goddard the invitation was accepted.
 Rev. E. c. Gillette of Canaan wei comed the Club to Canaan. He said it gave him much pleasure in behalf of the Canaan Chapter to extend the vel : come. When the responses began tc flow in it looked as if someone would have to be asked to stay at home. Be cause of lack of room the committee could not do some things they wished tc do. In the absence of the president ot the club, MT. Gillette designated Rev J. c. Goddard of Salisbury as toast master and referred to him as the "De. pew of Connecticut, and MT Goddard proved the right man in the right place
 Charles Edward Prior, a Hartford tenor, was introduced and sang several selections during the evening.
 MT. Goddard sad, in accepting the honor of ''acting as executioner for the hapless victims who would be led to the block he felt, after the eloquent introduction, as if he had been "slicked up by Gillette safety razor."
 He said he wished to express apprecia- tion of the treat given the Club in Ga naan, the land of milk and honey, also known as the headquarters of the mana ger of the Hill campaign.
