AN ARMY OF EELS.
Is Making It's Way Up the Connecticut
 River, Millions Strong.


 Hartford, May 29.-An army, mil lions strong and presumably miles in length, but not invincible, has been. moving up the Connecticut river since Tuesday. Only a few persons were aware of the, passing of this throng, which consisted of nothing more for, midable than a surprisingly large body of small cells of different sizes and lengths, which were wiggling at swift pace up stream. To the few persons who stood on the bank at Riverside park and watched the array of small, snaky bodies, it looked like parade of all the eels in the Connecticut riv-. CT. One person suggested that the occasion was a gathering day for eels, which were turning out in force in memory of their relatives come to an untimeIy death at the hands of de- signing fishermen.
 The fact of such a large number of eels ascending the river at this time of the year cannot perhaps be satis- factorily accounted for. A man we'll acquainted with the ways of fish says in substance: The large eels are talk ing the smaller ones to shallow water where feeding grounds are to be found. Eels, like bass and numerous other fishes, live and breed in the mud. In the winter they stay entirely in the mud, and with the arrival of spring come forth from their winter quar- ters, stupid and almost entirely blind- ed by their long confinement.

GOV. ODELL PROTESTS
Against the Gov eminent Raising the Quar-
anttne Against Connecticut cattle.

ALBANY. Dec. 23-Gov. Odell to-day sent
10 Secretary Of Agriculture Wilson protest
against the action Of the National Govern
ment In raising the quarantine against

This action was taken by the Governor after

missioner Wieting, who declared that there
would be no protection to New York State II
shipments Of cattle sheep and live stock
from Connecticut into this State should he
permitted without restriction, as Connecti-
cut had established no quarantine lines
against Rhode Island and Massachusetts,.
two States where the effects Of the epidemic
had been the worst. The Governor and
Commissioner then decided to continue
New York's quarantine against Connect
cut and 10 seize and detain any cattle which
may appear on the border between the two
States.
In Lis telegram TO Secretary Wilson, Gov;
Odell said that he saw In the published
dispatches that the quarantine had been
raised and that he failed TO see how New

deputies Of agriculture for aid in protecting
New York cattle from the infection to be
brought by animals from tho Eastern States.

CITY BURNING SOFT COAL.
bids for Anthracite At SI2 q Ton Thought
Too High-Anti.S he Law on Awhile.

Bridge Commissioner Lindenthal was able
yesterday to get only one bid to supply his
department with anthracite coal, and that
bid was for sl2 ton, so he has decided that
the department will burn soft coal until
hard coal is cheaper Deputy Commits
soner Robinson said yesterday that Sl2 a
ton was too much for the city to pay for
anthracite. He added that care is being taken
to burn the soft coal without creating a
nuisance.
The Department Of Water Supply, Gas
and Electricity is burning a mixture OF
soft coal and anthracite, because the bids
received for anthracite were considered
too high.
President Lederle Of the Health Board
told a SUN reporter last night that while
the department will look out for .wilful
violations OF the smoke ordinance IL will
be gentle in it's enforcement until anthra-
cite IL more plentiful.
The cold Of yesterday drew large crowds
to the depots where coal is being sold by
the pail More than 1900 pailfuls were sold
at the depot in West Fifty-first street.

PoTTsvILLE, Pa, Dec. 2s.-In order that
a larger coal supply may be secured for
Philadelphia and New York the Philadelphia

day placed a restriction order on the sale
of coal in this section.
No family will hereafter be allowed to
buy more than one ton at a time. All the

tied to one tol Of coal a moLth
II is hoped by the restriction to prevent
the stocking of coal by spectators and give
a more general distribution OF the product
along the whole system.
The colleres which were drowned out
yesterday are still flooded and their idle
ness has considerably curtailed the output.
