unlike coal It has no organic structure
ana can only be inferred upon circum-
stantlal conditions that 1t Is Of organic
origin. These conditions are 80 strong
that nearly every geologlst has con-
cluded that they must be Of vegetable
or mineral sources. During the last
twenty-five years French and German
chemists have advanced arguments in
favor Of a chemical origin, They base
their arguments on series Of expert
ments in which powerful deoxidlzing
agents like the alkali metals or iron
at a white heat are caused or iron
with steam and carbonlc acid. In this
case the hydrogen Of the water and
the carbon of the carbonic acid having
been deprived Of their oxygen, unite
to form another compound Of an oily
nature closely resembling, petroleum. III
fact sufficient quantities. Of these OTIS
have been produced 10 prove their iden-
tity with oils OF Pennsylvania. Before
accepting these conditions II Is neces-
sary to assume a condition Of the
earth's interior concerning which we
know but little
While the theoretical chemistry Of
this origin does not forbid such pos
sibiltles there are other conditions re-
lating to the origin Of petroleum which
deal with the known rather than the
possible. lt has been observed that
when coal wood, vegetable, animal
matter or any other organic substance
is subjected to destructive distllation
at low temperatures, there Is produced
an oily fluid. the analysis Of which al
so gives the same chemical formula as
the Bradford oils OF Pennsylvania.
The petroleum found in Canada and
Tennessee make II extremely difficult
to account for their origin upon any
other hypothesis than that OF the pro-
duct Of the decomposition OF animal re-
mains. The oil In these regions fills
the cavities Of fossil corals and goodies
all OF which seem to be Theoretically
sealed in the rock. The petroleum
found in these particular cases, is In
the sllurian limestone that was proba-
bly, deposited in the sea at the time OF
which vast quantities Of marine ami
mails were buried
From these facts It is fair to pre-
sumo that these oils In whatever man
ner they may have been formed are OF
animal origin. In the Pennsylvania

For Injury to Horse by Being Fright
 ened by Auto-Motor.
 The rights on the street of an auto- mobile have been questioned by Oscar A. Valentine In civil suit for $15O against Ernest H. Towle of Center street This suit has particular refer ence to a certain machine which has been called various names for lack of one good short one It has been seen whirling around the streets at various times, starting from the defendants store on Center street. 1t runs on three wheels and has been called tri- moter, auto-motor and goodness knows what.
 On March % Mir Valentine alleges that his horse was hitched to a post outside his shop at 64 Grand street. About noon on that day people passing on Grand street were amazed and sick ened to see horse impaled on a hitch ing post and blood flowing i'll great quantities from the wound. 1t was a bad sight. The horse was Mir valen- tines and he claims that 1t was fright ened by the defendants steam ma chine and the impaling of itself on the post was the result.
 The papers in the suit were drawn up by Attorney Beckwith and were served this morning by Sheriff Ramet- ii. The manufacturers of the machine will fight the case.

 Interesting Papers Read at Yesterdays
 Meeting at Training School.
 Interesting and instructive were the papers which were read at the meeting of the Century Art club yesterday af- ternoon at the Training school. Miss Katherine NJ. Sweeney, the president presided at the meeting. A study of the life and principal works of art of Michael Angelo, the noted Italian artist who lived between 1475-1564a was the work mapped out for the meeting. Ow- ing to pressure of business, Miss Olive NJ. Lyford was unable to prepare Il paper on the life and portrait of An gelo. So Miss Katherine Sweeney had been substituted. Miss Sweeney told in a bright and cheerful manner the various points of interest in the life of that world renowned artist. A splendid picture could have been drawn from the fine and concise de- scription which the reader gave of the artists appearance. Miss Nellie Hen- nessy's description of Moses" was all that could be desired. It was clear and comprehensive and exposed the fine points of the picture. The hidden beauty as yell as the outward magni- ficence of the portrait, "The Three Fates," was well described by Miss Sara Bennett. Miss Mary Mccarthy gave a most beautiful description of the beauty of the "Last Judgment" and of the enviable position which it holds among works of art. Tn addi- tion to the papers. there was piano se- lections by the Misses Gertrude Guil- foile and Annie Noonan and vocal solos by the Misses Sara Bennett and Carrie Waldron. As D whole, the meeting was very interesting.

 Mayor Why do you refuse to an swer. There is nothing
 The sheriff interrupted with the re- mark: l am acting on the instructions of my attorney.
 Mayor-You are placing yourself in an unfavorable light before the public This is a board of inquiry and you are making yourself liable for punishment.
 Sheriff-All right, if I have done wrong let me suffer the consequences as any other citizen.
 Mayor-Do you persist in refusing to answer
 Sheriff. positively refuse. I re- spect you, Mir Mayor. and the other members of the board. do not wish you to think am saucy. I am only acting in accordance with the regula- tions of my office.
 Mayor-We desire to treat you fairly. But we think you are taking an unrea- sonable position. We cannot under stand why you refuse to answer any fleet either upon you as an officer or Q citizen. As good citizen and faith full officer, you should assist the board in every possible manner.
 The mayor then asked another ques- ton in regard to Rigney's presence in the woods as citizen.
 Sheriff. went there as an officer, not citizen.
 Mayor-Did you see any copper.
 Sheriff. refuse to answer.
 Nfayor-Did you see Officer Byrnes and Claffev on the Meriden road.
 Sheriff. refuse to answer. N
 The sheriff was then dismissed, no evidence having been obtained from him.
 James F. Lunny was the next wit ness. AS much was gained from him as from his predecessor. After few preliminary remarks, the mayor asked him to tell what he knew concerning the copper.
 Lunny-As n citizen know nothing, as an officer deputized untier Deputy Sheriff Rigney, I refuse to answer.
 AIayor-Did you see Officers Byrnes and Claffey between the hours of 12:30 D. m., Friday and 6p. m., Saturday.
 Lunny--We might as well settle this right here. As a citizen know abso- lutely nothing and as an officer re- fuse to answer. I won't answer an- other question.
 After Mir Lunny had replied, "No answer" to another question, he was dismissed.
 The policemen. who testified at the last meeting, with the addition of Of ficer Myers, testified again last even ing. Their evidence being practically the same. After the officers had testi- fed, the board took a recess for i've meetings and then went into executive session. Another meeting will be held tonight.
