A recent report by Consul Brunot of
st. Etienne, France, states that con-
Germ in that country is now engaged

product is manufactured in the form

chiefly of petroleum, either crude or
refined, and possess all the desirable
qualities Of coal and ordinary petro-
leum without any of the Objectionable
characteristics of either.
The principal expense in the manu-
facture of the new fuel is the oil, the
other ingredients and the labor cost
ing comparatively little.
Serious attention has been given in
recent years to the possibilities in the
use of peat as fuel In NorIn Euro
pean countries. in Ireland. I'D in some
other regions. the peat deposits have
formed for long tine an important
fuel supply. Even in Germany, which
is relatively rich in coal the peat boys
are exploited extensively. in the United
States there has been little inducement
for the development OF the country's
peat wealth; nevertheless, many be-
lieye that there is a wide field for
profitable use ca this fuel in this coun-
try. Far greater possibilities in this
earection exist in Canada. That coun-
try is practically bare Of coal. but rich
in peat, and may be forced to consid-
err the use OF the latter on an extended

Residents of the Big City Are Becom- ing Alarmed.

New York, Oct 7.--Alarming condi- tions in the air, of the uncleaned and Improperly cleaned streets of New York have been presented to the board of estimate and apportionment by Commissioner Woodbury in his plea for an increase in the appropriation for the department of street cleaning. He presented statistics and photo graphs showing that an army of germs hovers over the city, and that in the congested districts of the east side bacteria. swarm above the streets. For months a scientific investigation has been going on to ascertain the danger in the refuse of the streets, it's char acter and the proper way to fight it. This investigation is yet incomplete. Water is the only remedy suggested.
 Under the direction of well known scientists an investigation has been proceeding since July 12, and photo graphs of the atmosphere were taken after many experiments to prove the statistics gathered.
 Commissioner Woodbury presented data showing the number of colonies of bacteria caught by gelatine plates at the curb and at an elevation of six feet in various parts of the city.

Conflict Between Garment Workers

Chicago, Oct 7.-The conflict be- tween the garment workers union of America and the special order of clothing makers threatens to tie up fifty-two shops to-day. Cutters in the shop of B. J. Strauss & Go, who affiliated with the garment. workers union, brought the quarrel to an issue yesterday by refusing to cut for mem bers of the rival organization. This forced the shop to close, and 600 em- ployes were thrown out of work.
 Later in the day all the other firms were notified that they would have to meet the same situation unless the special order men left their places or joined the garment workers un- ion.
 The national presidents of both or ganizations are here directing their forces.

Thomas Quinlan of South Leonard street. for the past thirtyfou years 9 well known and highly respected resi- dent of Waterbury, will leave here to- morrow morning for New York, from where he will sail at noon on board the steamship Germanic of the White Star line for his foriner home in Ireland, where he intends to spend the balance of his life. Mir Quinlan is native of Galbally. County Limerick, and has many well to do relatives and friends there, among whom he expects to live comfortably until the end comes. For twenty-seven years and over he was an employe of Holmes, Booth & Hay dens Go, where he was considered a splendid workman and an exceedirUsy agreeable Shopmate. He was very pop ular among his neighbors and on learn ing that he was about to return to the old country his old acquaintances got together and concluded to give him some substantial token of esteem. Tine committee decided upon a gold watch and the gift was presented to MT Quin- Ian the other evening, accompanied by the best wishes of the donors. It is a nice thing for man who has lived so many years in the same neighbor- hood to be able to leave it with the good name Mir Quinlan takes with him. All wish him well and hope that the invigorating breezes of his native air will restore to him some of the elas- ticity of step and almost giant strength that were his when he first set foot on American soil. He called about town to-day and bid many of his old friends what he termed "a last farewell

 The hearing on the claims against the estate of the late William H. De- laney was continued in the district court to-day before Commissioners Church and Jackson. Mrs Catherine Sheridan's claim for $1 200 was under consideration Henry Hayden, the executor of and principal beneficiary by the will, was on the stand all the forenoon. He testified that the flu neral took place from the residence of his family, MT Delaney having be- fore Iissdeath expressed desire that it should be so. At the hearing in the probate court nothing was said about claims against the estate The evening of the funeral witness told Mrs Sheridan that he was named executor of the will. Further than that he did not recall, and was fairly certain that nothing was said about the will He did not know that shc was then aware of the provisions of the will He was certain that he did not discuss the will with her. She never said anything to him about 9 claim against the estate, nor did he know that she would present one. At the funeral there was some talk in the carriage he occupied about some one contesting will and Mrs Sheri- dan said that no matter what others did or said about tho will of MT De- laney she hoped no one could say that she had anything to do with it.
 The hearing was adjourned to Thurs day morning to accommodate Commis- sioner Church, who was delegate to the republican senatorial convention which was held in Naugatuck this af- ternoon.
