NOT only BURNS ASHES
But CONSUMES smoke
.Test Of Invention Leads to Dis
covery Of Additional Won
derful Property.

P1TTsBURG, April G.--John Fillmore,
tho Altoona cobbler who invented q
Iroccss by witch lie can burn ashes
has accidentally stumbled onto tho
fact that Ills compound for making
as1es burn also almost wholly docs
away with smoke as wol. This fact
cumc to light to-day, when Fillmore
was giving n demonstration Of Ills
new invention In downtown Office
building.
In tho building where tho test was
being madc arc two immense furnaces,
each with q separate smokestack One.
OF tho furnaces was cleaned out this
morning, and for six hours nothing
was burned In 1t but coal and ashes
that had been treated with 15llmore'a
compound. In tho other furnace ordi-
merry soft coal was burned. From the
furnace that was burning soft coal an
immense volume OF black smoke con-
stantly poured, while from that In
which the ashes wcrc being burned
came nothing but soft, white vapor,
similar to that which arises from
coke. These conditions continued dur
ing tho entire time that tho test was.
being made.
the building, and Potter Smeltzer, the
assistant chief engineer, made af1i-
dnvits to the effect that the invention
or Fillmore not only burned ashes sue
cessfnlly, but also that 1t almost who'll
~ eliminated smoke. Fillmore was
about as much surprised as any ono
when he was Informed OF the latest
discovery.
The tests this afternoon prove that
Ellmores discovery is a success. For
six hours the big furnace was fed with
treated ashes and coal. the proportion
OF the lat.or being decreased until
only one-t third of coal was used to
two thirds Of treated ashes. Hereto
fore one third OF ashes 1lave been
r.ed to two-thirds Of coal. During
the whole time the furnace gave out
far greater heat than did tho furnace
in which coal was being used exclu-
sively. and the amount OF steam gem
Grated was also greater. Ellmore'a
friends declare that his invention is
SURPRISING their expectations in every
why.

AGED REcLusE FOUND DEAD.
Oxford Woman Dies AIone-An Inques
Held.


Special to Times Republican.
oxford. Jan 16.-The lifeless body OF
Mrs Teresa Novak was found in bed in
her home in Osford yesterday, by Miss
Barnes. of that city. Mrs. Novak was
a lady of about 20 years and some time
ago was married to a man by the name
of Stranger, but has not lived with
him for some time. She has occupied
a little house in Oxford and has lived
completely alone.
In view of the fact that Mrs. Novak
was known to have a considerable sum
of money over q year ago, the resi-
dents about the neighborhood suspect
ed foul play and desired an inquest,
since the old lady was seen about the
yard on Saturday morning, and has not
apparently been i'll. Under the direc-
ton of the coroner, all the facts and
circumstances in connection with the
death were noted. There were no
no motive for foul play, and no evil
dence Of self-destruction, but that
death was due to natural causes and
old age. No money was found on her
person or in the house to speak of and
it is probable that the sum which she
was known to have had over a year
ago was expended for the wants OF
life.
Mrs. Novak had made arrangements
for her funeral quite while ago. and
had paid for all expenses come i
with the same to Mr.. F1oeschinger. In
view Of this fact it is probable that her
money was expended by herself.

gone forth. to be strictly enforced, that

| closed until a. M of the following
day Promptly upon issuance OF the

cation of the districts to see II the

ment of the saloons believe that the
strict enforcement of the new rules
will bring about an elevation OF con-
ditions impossible under the old law.
| To check the free hand of the saloon
men, the following order was read to
the members Of the police department
by Chief Pickley:
| You are hereby directed to enforce
the following orders for the control OF

m. until a. m. of the following day.
| But all saloons must remain closed un-
| til 2 o'clock p. m. of each and every
Sunday, and you are hereby instructed
to promptly arrest and prosecute any
person or persons guilty of violation
of this order.

or liquors of any kind, in the all night
restaurants of the city, Is absolutely
prohibited between the hours of II p.
/ M, and until 9. M of the following
/ day, and if the following day is Sun
day, until 2 o'clock p. m. Of that day.
| The suhterfuge of giving it away
with sandwiches or meals is also alb
/ solutely prohibited You will promptly
arrest and prosecute any individual or
firm violating this order.
You are further instructed that the
| keeping of so-called wine rooms, or
! saloons having rooms or stalls where
women are allowed to enter and en-
gage in the drinking OF intoxicating
/ liquors, is also absolutely prohibited
and you will arrest and prosecute all
persons conducting such places and all
women resorting thereto. or men and
women found therein.
i You will also enforce the law pro-
hibiting the use of slot machines, and
promptly report all such violations Of
the law to your chief.
The selling Of liquor of any kind t.

order from their parents, was forbid
den some time ago, and If you find any
