CLAIM AGAINST. FRANCE.
Gpavesend Man Wants S25O,OOO ;. With Interest.

He Claims It Was Loaned to the
 French Government By His Father
 in 1793-It Was to Have Been Re
 turned After the Revolution.
 New York, April 2.-Papers careful ly guarded in little tin box for more than century are now expected by Frederic A. Girardot of Gravesend Beach, to establish his claim against the French government for $250,0O0, which sum, it is asserted, was loaned by his grandfather, General Jean Fran cois Girardot, in 1793, to be returned to him or his heirs, with interest, after the revolution. The documents bear the seal and stamp of the government.
 Counsel for MT Girardot will sail for France shortly to demand the princi- pal, if not the interest. He will pre- sent all the documents to the French authorities, and is confident that at least part of the money will be paid. Among the papers are official dates and re- cords of the battles in which General Girardot fought and letters commend ing his bravery. The claim will be presented as in the nature of debt of honor.

uOMAN HORRIBLY BURNED
Used Kerosene to Light the
 Morning Fire

It BIazed Up and Set Her Clothing on
 Fire-She Rushed into the Street,
 Where People Who Had Gathered
 Tore the Burning Clothes from Her
 Body.
 Clock avenue, a private way off Cherry street, was the scene of a hor- rible burning accident this morning when Mrs Frank Farina, a woman about 35 years old, was almost roasted to death in sight of a crowd of people, who, while they rendered all the as- sistance in their power, were unable to do much and the victims clothing blaZed until they were practically burned off her. It Is the old story of the oil can. The woman was lighting the fire and in order to hurry things along took hold of the oil can. There was some fire in the stove and as soon. as the oil touched it the blaze started and before she knew what was the matter she was in a mass of flames. She rushed into the street shouting for, help and in so doing the wind famed the fire so that it rose in volumes over her head. John Shea, a teamster, who was at work on the street nearby and others who. were in the neighborhood, heard the noise and looking in the di- rection from which it proceeded saw the burning form swaying to and fro and hurried to the rescue. They rip ped off her clothing as fast as they could, but the garments were burned so that all that was left was a few pieces of blackened shred that fell apart as fast as the men caught hold of them.
 Dr Lally was called and word was sent to the rectory of St Thomas's par ish. The physician and Father Ken nedy responded promptly. The wo- man was frightfully burned from the knees to her head, her hair being singed to the scalp. While no hope of her recovery was entertained, it was decided to send her to the hospital and she was taken there in Lunny's ambu- lance, accompanied by her husband, an employe of the Waterbury Clock Go, who was summoned home when the accident occurred. They have three children, the oldest a girl about seven years@ old, and two other children be- longing to relative board with them. The family have not been in this country long, but they appeared to be doing we'll and had a neat home A man who assisted in tearing the clothes off the woman told a reporter of the Democrat that it was the hard est sight he ever witnessed

South Norwalk, April 2.-Bishop Goodsell announced at the beginning of this mornings business session that he would omit the devotional exercises, as the Adams memorial service had taken their place.
 Secretary Sanford then read the journal of yesterdays session, after which the names of absentees at roll call were called. While this was being done the rear seats of the conference hall and the galleries filled rapidly with visitors. Nearly all of these were women, chiefly the wives and daughters of the members of the con- ference
 Roll call finished. it was voted to dis pense with it for the remaining days of theconference. Presiding Elder Chad wick of the Brooklyn South district reported that the Rev c. W.gTodd, who received an appointment a year ago had not yet reported for duty. Rev MT Todd was appointed at last years con- ference to the church at Vanderyeer park and never answered the official letter of Presiding Elder Chadwick. On suggestion of the bishop the mat ter was referred by vote to the com mittee on conference relations. Pre- siding Elder Montgomery of the New York district reported a similar case, that of Rev Theodore F. Clark, ap- pointed at last years conference to the church at Roxbury, Conn. This case also was referred to the committee on relations.
 Elder Chadwick then moved the ref erence to the same committee of the certificate of location of the Rev B. F.. Case. who desires to secure member ship in this conference. Visitors had continued to come in groups and when Presiding Elder W. A. Richards of the New Haven conference arose to make his report every seat had been occu- pied and some were standing.

ise not to ride on the cars of the trolley company, not only here, but through out the state.
 Frank Miller, formerly a conductor on the trolley cars here and who went out on strike. but later deserted the strikers, has returned to town. He was in the c. R. and'L. Go office in Elk change place this afternoon.
 Two new trimmers. one of whom comes from Detroit, Michigan, went to work for the Connecticut Railway and Lighting Go this morning and another new. one is expected to begin work to- morrow. These are extra men who have been added to the force of trim mers. Some of the deputy sheriffs have been complaining somewhat that their hours of labor in escorting the trimmers about town were rather long. They have had to work until after six o'clock. The addition of the three ex- tra men will lessen the hours of labor somewhat. Nearly al1 the lights about the streets in the center of the city have globes now. A few of the globes on the lights have been broken during the past day or two.
 ZAP Williams, one of the striking trolleymen, came to Waterbury last night from his home in Brookfeld, where he had been visiting friends since Saturday. MT Williams feels az grieved at the way he has been treated by some of the papers since he left here. aIt was announced that the au- thorities were after him that he had been seen in Hawleyville in bad shape, that he had a record, and so on. Will Hams belongs in Brooo1eld, but was working on the trolley road here few months before the strike and went out with the boys. He has charge of the automobiles now operating in Water bury and left here Saturday to pay s. O.. Osborn of Bridgeport $50 for the use of the machines. He stopped off at Derby and from there went to Brookfield, from where he mailed the money to MT Osborn. His attention was called to the article about him in the paper while, he was in Brookfeld, and naturally he felt hurt over 1t. MT Williams says he has a record that he is not ashamed of and that anybody who cares to inquire into it will find lots of the best citizens of Brookfeld willing to testify regarding his good character He denies being in Flaw leyville since he left here Saturday. He will leave for Bridgeport this after noon.
