Conditions Improving.

New Haven, Oct 3.-Industrial conditions in this city are, as indi- cated by canvass made among vari- ous manufacturing establishments, very much improve since September 1, and several thousand persons who have had more or less idleness dur ing the spring and summer months have been employed, while those who have had employment on partial time are now on full schedule. The high officials of the big industries not only report increasing orders but a more general resumption of busi- ness in lines more or less allied with their own, tending to indicate a gen. eral tendency to start up the small plants.

Run Over by Trolley Cars on North
 Willow Street.

Willow Street.
 A toy bull, one of the finest in the city, owned by Michael J. Murphy of 193 North Willow street, was killed by a trolley car this morning. The accident happened right in front of MT Murphy's house. Motorman Lambert, who was running the car, tried in vain to, stop the car, but could not halt it before the dog was killed. MT Murphy feels the loss of the pet keenly and said this afternoon he would not have sold the dog for $500. He paid $75 for it when it was few weeks old. The dog was considered one of the best of the Boston species in town and Mir Murphy had received several big offers for him.

DR.. ROBERT KOCH
Says TubercIe Bacillus of Man Type

Washington. Sept. Soils declara-
ton at the British Congress on Tuber-
culosis in London in 1901 that human
beings may be infected by bovine tu-
bercle baccilli but serious diseases from
this cause occur very rarely was em-
phasized by Dr. Robert Koch, the emil
lient authority before the International
Congress on Tuberculosis here today
While admitting that human beings
may be infected by bovine tubercule
bacilli DIR. Koch said that up 10 Gate
in no case OF pulmonary tuberculosis
in man has the tubercle bacillus Of
the bovine type been definitely demon
StratCd."
He stills holds that pulmonary tuber-
culosis is produced by the ruborciC
bacilli of man type exclusively, and
dc clared that our regulations for com
batting tuberculosis must by all means
be directed, against that source OF
the disease.
He made known today for the first
time, that in view of the great i'm
portance of this phase of the question
he intended to undertake us soon as
feasible, experiments along this line
on broad scale.
