OIL IN ENGINES.
New Haven Road Making Test oi
 This Fuel to Replace Coal

The New Haven railroad has fitted over one of it's Northampton division passenger locomotives with oil burn CTS and is now trying 1t out at the machine shop in New Haven.
 A test of it was made in the pres ence of a number of the members of the motive power force yesterday aft ernoon and 1t was found that the ma chine would make steam in 10 min utes The best time that coal burn ing engine will raise steam. it has been found hitherto, is 25 minutes.
 These engines are already being very largely used on the Boston & Maine system, as they are extensively if the West.
 It is expected if the Northampton engine is found to work successfully, it will lead to an adaptation of oil fuel for the New Haven system in place of coal.

Fortune hunting swains who besiege elderly women with fat bank accounts. received jolt the other day from Su- preme Court Justice Mareau, who scored them as schemers without prin- ciple. His ire was aroused by the case of Eleanor Scott Ongley, spins ter 7S years of age, who on December 21st married Henry H. Ongley, an employee of the Tax Ofice and a. sweetheart of 35 years ago. Ongley's first wife died recently and he at once renewed his suit for the hand and heart of his old flame, who had remained single and had accumulat- ed a fortune of a quarter of a mill lion dollars. The brides brother, an- gered by her marriage to Ongley, made application to the court as soon as he learned what had happened, for examine into her sanity. In grant ing the motion, Justice Moreau said:
 ''1t looks to me as if this newly acquired husband of the woman is some sort of a schemer. What does a man want to marry a woman 78 years old for? He marries her mop- ey."
 The court has issued a restraining order on the trust company which holds the woman's money prohibit- ing it from paying her more than $1,000 a month pending the determin- aIlOn or the commission. The bride denies that she is insane and declares that she loves her old lover as much as she did when he first paid her court. She says she will fight the case.

Professor Walter F. Wilcox, of Cor nell, who predicted the other day that there would be no more babies after 2015 has awakened rather stirring sociological discussion among Goth am's club women. Mrs. Clarence Burns, President of "The Little Moth ers' Association" an organization supported by society women, who pro vide for the care of the small children of poor families, the mother of which is obliged to work, takes issue with the pedagpgue and figuratively says he is a blithering, blooming romancer
 Tt is evident that Prof. Wilcox is not familiar with the conditions among American families on the East Side" said Mrs. Burns. You see, the average family has from five to eIev- en children. But I must say that I believe that nowadays the average parent looks to quality rather than quantity.

 Before leaving for business trip abroad, Charles M. Schwab, the steel magnate, predicted a booming year for 1911.
 The steel magnate said that in his mind the placing sof an order by the Chinese with the New York Ship building Company for a cruiser was a forerunner of great deal of this kind of work to be done in the United States, for both the Chinese and the Japanese governments. This order was placed about two weeks ago. The cruiser. will be built in Philadelphia.
 '"The United States is to have more work of this kind than ever before," MT. Schwab said. land I believe many similar orders will follow this year. I don't see any reason for any talk about war. Certainly the placing of contracts in this country doesn't indi- cate that there Is any danger along these lines, so far as I can see.''
