FORD, CONN, August 13.-Unless
something pretty heroic or exception
ally strategic is done tomorrow ny
the Blue defenders of New York, the
city is likely to be in the hands OF the
Red invaders before the end of the
week.
The Reds today crossed the Housa-
tonic river and swarmed down toward
Bridgeport on one side (where they
may be able to put out OF business the
New York, New Haven and Hartford
railroadl, and uown toward the New
York State water shed on cthe other
side (where they may be able to de-
spell the drinking supply or the-eis
town..
Many a gallant night was put up by
the Blues. but they were outgeneraled
and outnumbered all along - line. and
were obliged to retreat before the for
eign invaders. They passed through
Bridgeport at noon, disappointed, dusty
and dry, particularly the latter. To-
morrow they VIII make an effort 10
drive the foefncn. but hopes are not
running any too high.
Tomorrow there will probably be
some desperate fighting. Secretary oa

MAYBE If PAYS TO BESlCk
Franklin, Pa, Sept. 24.-Form-
er Congressman Joseph C. Sibley
is sick today-very sick.
Sibley is so sick he cannot see
any newspaper men to discuss the
letters published in Hearst's mag
azine, which are alleged to have
passed between Sibley and John
D. Archbold of Standard Oil.
In one of these letters, dated
1904, Sibley invites Archbold to
call at the White House, saying
that Roosevelt was delighted"
that the administration had the
good will of the IS. o. company"
and would like Archbold to come
to the White House for quiet
chat.
In another letter, Sib1ey asks
Archbold to help him carry his
county for the Republicans in
1904.
If you need me for any pur-
pose" one letter says, telegraph
me and l will come over"
Sibley would see no one today,
and refused even to send any mes
sage saying whether or not the
letters really were written by him.
His secretary told newspaper
men that Sibley was sick.
