status of their visit into the case.
 To-day's hearing is a special one granted by Referee Hoadley. The Matzkin company failed with liabilities of approximately $45,- 900 and assets of about $14,000. Shortly after the petition in bank ruptcy an offer of composition was made to creditors on the basis of 20 per cent on the dollar.
 However, the Acme Upholstering company of Hartford objected to the approval of the composition offer and asked for hearing, hence to-day's session. The session opened in the usual form, with Re- fierce Hoadley presiding, but with the appearance of the two depart ment of justice men many varying comments were heard.
 "On the stand up to early this afternoon were James Bulger of the Merchants Trust company, Abraham Matzkin of the insolvent convern and Louis Traurig of the firm of Sanditz and Traurig. These witnesses testified as to the indebt- edness of the Matzkin Furniture company to the banks on notes.
 After Louis Traurig had com pleted his testimony Referee Hoad ley called a recess. Then the de- partment of justice men were busy from that moment up until early this afternoon looking over the large stacks of books and stubs piled up in the court room.
 Early this afternoon various counsel involved in the case and witnesses were in court ready for a continuance of the evidence in the actions.

CONDITION OF
 THE DIRT ROAD
Use of Oil a Big Improves ment on Water for
 This Purpose
MAKES GOOD GOING

When the city commenced to oil dirt streets many believed 1t was waste of money and predicted that the surface would go to pieces as soon as the frost came out of the ground in spring. But that is not so. On the contrary dirt road with a nice smooth surface, well oiled, stands up through the winter, and with the exception of a little patch ing in certain spots. needs little at- tention the year round. Of course. 1t has not the wearing qualities of cement or other permanent pave- ment, but it is big improvement on water. It keeps the dust down, makes nice going for cars, is much cheaper than carting material long distances and spreading 1t all over the roadway.
 Anybody can see the satisfactory results of the use of oil by a glance at the dirt roads in all parts of Wa terbury and other places where this treatment Is applied. In time most city streets and state roads will be permanently improved, but until that time comes, people will be quite content to have the roadways oiled. It certainly serves two pur- poses. It makes good going and removes the source of complaint about dust. And there is another reason why folks like 1t. There is no special assessment against abut- ting property. There is no reason why there should be. When water was used for sprinkling, abutting property had to pay so much per foot, even though the owners had no vehicles to go over 1t. Sprinkling, whether with oil or water, is done In the interest of the public and 1t should be paid for out of the general treasury.

FABER AVENUE
 RESIDENTS HAPPY
Express Much Pleasure at Men Excavating for
 Sanitary Sewer
PASSING OF CESSPOOLS

Faber avenue residents are very much pleased to see the sewer be- ing installed in that street. It runs from Waterville street, to Cooke street and while one might think that the soil would absorb water fast enough to make cess- pools last for some time, still it seems that 1t is not so, and as a result families felt the need of a sewer for some time past.
 A Democrat reporter passed through there this week and heard expressions of pleasure from many families at seeing workmen ex- cavating for the sewer. "It costs lot of money" remarked one woman, "but we will be glad to pay for 1t. because it will be a great relief to get rid of the cess pools, which overflowed several times during the, year and no mat ter how you tried to care for them you could not keep the place in satisfactory sanitary condition"
 This is one of the things that go to make up the expense incl dent to the proper regulation of an industrial community like Wa terbury. One source of trouble is that the city cannot afford to meet every demand for public im- provements. A limited sum is available each year for sewers, wa ter main extension and other things essential to right living. and when that Is exhausted others have to remain on the waiting list, hence the reason why one hears rumbling of dissatisfaction in a community where even with strict economy, taxation is about as high as anybody wants to see if

UNION CALL FOR STRIKE FAILED
 IN HAVERHILL
Only Three or Four Paid Any Attention - Gen. eral Strike Will Be Call- ed Say Leaders

HaverhilI, Mass, Aug 12 - GU. PA union call for a strike ap- parently went unheeded to-day as all but three or four of the ap- proximately 200 operatives of the Rickard Shoe company reported for work.
 The Shoe Workers Protective Union ordered the strike this morn ing because of the failure of the company to sign new wage and working agreement to replace that which expired few weeks ago.
 Several officers of the union picketed the plant this morning but no trouble developed. They said a general strike might be called in the city's. shoe industry next week on the ground that sev- eral shops were not paying union wages. Nearly 10000 shoe workers are employed in Haverhill. it was estimated.

WATERVILLE
Waterville Proud of Champion
 MaroOns.

With a single game remaining on this years schedule for the Waterville Maroons in the City Recreational league the local team has won the league championship for the second consecutive year. The pennant was clinched by the defeat of the Washington Hill Cardinals last Sunday at Washing ton park. Although the league records indicate the Maroons lead the league with a record of wins and . single loss, they have &C., tualIy been undefeated in a played game this season. The Oak vile Davies, who are to be their opponents next Sunday, were de- feated 90 in the first contest but were credited with the game when a protest based on a technical vio- lation of eligibility rules, which was unintentional on the part of the Naroons, was upheld by the league officials.
 The Maroons deserve all sorts of credit for their excellent show ing this season, since they started under something of discourag- ing handicap when some of the support and players counted upon to assist them sought other teams. Manager Greatorex and Billy Ry- an, however, undiscouraged, set out to build up team which would carry over the splendid rec ord of the previous year and would bring back second cham pionship. Seldom has @ local team played better ball or rolled up such a record for scoring and heavy batting. The team has per- formed splendidly and is entitled to every consideration which the community can show.
 The Waterville Crescents, now tied for second place in the Pub lie Parks league, two games be- hind the leading North Squares, have an excellent chance of over- takin gthe leaders in the six re- maining games on their schedule, 50 the possibility remains of two 1891 championships coming to Waterville.
 Mrs Charles Peach.
 Many Waterville people have learned with regret of the death of Mrs Alice Peach, widow of Charles T. Peach, which occurred Saturday in Brooklyn. N. Y. She resided in Waterville a few years ago, making her home with her son, Arthur G. Peach, who with his brother, Alfred N. Peach, sur wives her. The burial took place yesterday in Norwalk, Conn.
