Smokeless and Sparkless.
A smokeless and sparkless locomotive
was tested on Saturday afternoon on the*
Fitchburg railroad by the inventor with the
■aster-mechanies of other roads centering
in Boston as his guests. Among the promi
nent railroad men present were Mr. John
Adams, superintendent of the Fitchburg
railroad ; Colonel Nutt' of the Atlantic
•nd Pacific railroad; Mr. H. Hickley, of
the Mexican Centers], and Mr. II. L. Leach.
The gentlemen were highly pleased with
the test, and pronounced the new inven
tion a perfect success. The engine that
the consumer was applied to is the
“Sharon,” built some twenty-two years ago
Mr. R. L. Walker, of this city, the inven
tor, said that with a modern engine the
results would be even better than those
shown on Saturday’s trip. The run to
Waltham and back, a distance of twenty
miles,, with a consumption of 273 pounds
of Cumberland coal for the round trip.
The averago consumption of coal for a
twenty mile trip with an ordiuary engine
is about one thousand pounds, thus show
ing a very largo saving in fuel, besides fie
■topping of a long felt nuisance in railroad
traveling—smoke and cinders. This en
gine will be put to severe trials possible to
fully demonstrate the utility of the new
fire box under all CTcumstances. Mf. Walk
er has every confidence in the invention
and says the harder it is worked the more
thoroughly it will consume the smoke and
cinders.—Detroit Free Press.
Might Have Been-
“Three thousand Chinamen sailed from
Hong Kong, last Monday, for Victoria.”
Bo says a recent telegram. Victoria is the
capital of Vancouver’s Island, a British
possession off the Pacific constrand a near
ne : ghbor to California. In view of passing
events in the United States Congress in
may be that the wily Chinese Government
has adotded a somewhat curious and nuique
method for testing what promised, at its
latest advices, to become one of our laws ;
or rather, a method to circumvent any law
of Congress looking to the exclusion of
John from our territory. The British Gov
ernment has no restriction npou its law of
naturaliztioo, which is fally as liberal as
our own ; therefore, three thousand China
men, lauded at Victoria, could speedily be
come British subjects. Shielded, then, by
the banner of St. George, John could
“roam the wide world over,” secure in his
rights of domicile, and from Victoria to
California would be but a step, which he
could take in spite of any law we could
frame to keep him out for bo could snap
his fingers in our faces and smile blandly
while saying “John is British subject. Meli-
can man, hands off.” This is what might
have been bad President Arthur permitted
the Chinso bill to become a law, and a
queer position we should have been placed
in, indeed.
The Killing of Jesse James.
Jesse James, one of the James Brothers
who, in connection with other outlaws,
have committed so many daring robberies
and murders during several years past, was
shot and killed at St. Joseph, Mo., last
week, by one of his own men. Two mem
bers of his baud, Robert and Charles Ford,
concluded to surrender James in order
to obtain the large reward offered for him,
and thought the safest way was to surren
der him dead. So they wont to his house
and remained several days before a favor-
ablejopportunity presented itself, when ©no
morning, finding him unarmed, one of them
slipped np behind him and shot him in the
back of the head, killing him instantly
The Fords ^surrendered to the civil au
thorities. The body was identified by the
dead Man's mother.
His brother is still at large, and it is
thought will seek to avenge his death
A report was current that Gov. Crit
tenden had been killed by one of the gang
but it turns out to be untrue.
The Austrian government has demanded
Of the Austrian and Hungarian delegation
about $12 000,000 more to carry on the
war in Herzegovina and Bosnia. General
Javonovice is having a very tedious time
tryiug to keep down the slippery Bosniaks,
who are almost as good bushwhackers as
the Albanians, their great trouble being
that unlike the Albanians in their straggle
with the Turks, they have no leader like
George Costroit, althought Salka Foita
Bey and Stegan Kovaclievich have an in
timate acquaintance with the country aud
have shown some stubborn fightiug qual
ities. The Austrians have made very lit
tle impression upon the insuggent strong
hold’ thus far, in the Varenta, the Drina
and the Borna, every foot of which has to
be attacked in detail, and no attack can be
made in regulator order, for the topography
does not admit of regular fightiug.
Strange marriage took place in the Green
ville, S. C., jail a few days ago. Richard
Bates, under sentence of death for arson,
to be execated on the 28th iust.. and Ann
Good, sentenced to the penitentiary for
grand larceny, were married by Col. Croft.
The ceremony took place in the cell of the
jail where others with Bates are confined
awaiting execution of the death sentence
at the same lime. The next day the bride
went to the penitentiary to serve her term
of imprisonment, and three weeks from
that day the groom goes to the gallows.—

The Sun for 1882 will make i»s fifteenth

little, mean aud gracious, contented and
unhappy, Republican and Democratic, de
praved and virtuous, intelligent aud obtuse.
The Sun’s light is for mankind and woman
kind of every sort ; but its genial warmth is
for the good while it pours hot discomfort
on the blistering backs of the persistently
wicked.
The Sun of 1868 was a newspaper of a new
kind. It discarded many of the forms, and
a multitude of the superfluous words and
phrases of nncitnt journalism. It under-

omitting no event of human interest, and
commenting upon aflairs with the fearless
ness of absolute independence. The sue
cess of this experiment was the success of
the Sun. It effected a permanent change in
the style of American newspapers. Every
imDortant journal established in this country
in the dozen years past has been modelled
after the Sun. Every important journal
already existing has has been modified and
bettered by the force of the Sun’s example.
The Sun of 1882 will be the same outspken
truth-telling, and interesting newspaper.
By a liberal use of the means which an
abundent prosperity affords we shall make
it bettsr than ever before.
We shall print all the news, putting into
readable shape, and measuring its import
ance. Lot by the traditional yardstick, but
by its real interest to the people. Distance
from Printing House Square is not the first
consideration with the Sun. Whenever
anything happens worth reporting we get
the particulars, whether it happens in
Brooklyn or in Bokhara
In politics we have decided opinions: and
are accustomed to express them in language
that can be understood. We say what we
think about men and events* The habit is
the only secret of tne Sun’s political course,
The Weekly Sun gathers into eight pages
the best matter of the seven daily issues.
An Agricultural Department of unequalled
merit, full maaket reports, and a liberal
proportion of literary, scientific, and do
mestic intelligence complete The Weekly
Sun, and make it the best newspaper for
the farmer’s household that was ever
printed.
