KEELt’S MOTOR TESTED.
A Number of N**w York Cnn'tallste Pro
nounce the Trial Perfectly Sucoeeeful.
Philadelphia Tress.
John W. Keely, the Inventor. last even
ing gave a private exhibition of the power
of bis myf tenous motor in the presence of
a party of prominent New York capital
ism, who came over to witness the exper
iments upon the invitation of P. 0. Green,
the president of the Keely Motor Compa-
ny. The result of the experiments was
Tiry satisfactory, although they were but
a re prod action ot previous tests made by
Mr. Keely in the presence of the directors
of the Motor Company.
In his first experiment Mr. Keely
charged his generator with tiro goblets of
water, which he injected into the reservoir
by means of hia mouth. In less than live
■ecouds he charged the receiver with the
etherio vapor. He communicated the
force through a long, slender, hollow brass
tube to a piston capable of withstanding
a pressure of 28.000 pouuds to the square
inch. Tne piston operated a lever, upon
one end of whicn was a big iron ball
weighin 1570 pounds. With one expulsion
of the vapor this great weight was lifted
as easily as though It were a feather. Mr.
Keely then ad did to the long arm of the
lever anotlnr iron ball weighing 112
pounds, making the total Weight <Ki
pound*. A M'comi erim'siou uf vapor
was made in two seconds by simply turn
ing a stopcock on the generator, and the
two iron balls silently moved upwards,
showing that the vapor was exert.ng at
the piston a force of 11.730 pound* to the
square inch. Two geutlemen of tbo party
then stepped on rhe long arm of the Jever,
and were also easily lifted up, the pres
sure shown at the piston being over
pound* to the square inch.
Mr. K»*riy'n experiment was with the
motor gun be recently used at Sandy
Hook. Th» first b diet, of lead, nearly an
inch in diameter, wm projected through
two blocks of wood each three inches
thick and placed one foot apart. The
holes in tbo wooden barricades were as
clean as though bored by an auger. The
barrel of th* gun was not heated by the
projection of the missiles. Several shot*
were tired and the bullets were flattened
out as big as a saucer and as thin as pa
per against a steel barricade. Some of the
gentlemen present were afraid the gun
would burst, ao great was the power of
propulsion developed, and sought refuse
behind the large motor as yet uncomplet
ed.
, The third experiment was with the
8ma i fifteen horse-power motor. The con
nection with the motor and the generator
was made only after considerable delay, it
being found necessary to do considerable
soldering of the joints in the tube leading
from one machine to the other. Finally,
shortly before midnight, this was accom
plished, ihe etherio vapor was turned on
and'he motor moved off as easily* and
regularly as If operated by a steam en
gine Mr. Keely regulated the revolutiouc
of the motor by means of an iron crow
bar. but were without effect. The mot on
was not perceptibly aft-cted. In raauy re
spects it was ilie most success! 1 1 exhibi
tion of the motor ever given. A very
hi .-hand uniform rate of speed was
shown, and it was deraonstsated by scien
tific teats that the power developed was
enormous, sufficient to operate with equal
ease a 500 horse power machine. The gen
tlemen present were delighted with the ex
periment.
The final exhibition was that of an in-
geniom contrivance devised by Mr. Keely
to dfoptay a simple applies ion of the eth-
eric vapor It consists simply of a rod of
metal running from a very small receiver.
0< e end of the rod was placed against the
support of a hollow brass globe set on an
axis. Bv hitting tbe receiver and inten
sifying the vibrations over the rod the hol
low globe was made to revolve so rapidly
as to produce a sound like that made by a
buzz saw. Three cheers were given for
Mr. Keely at the end of the experi
ments.

president of the Keeiy Mo or Company;

MR. EDISON’S SEARCH.
Ha Is to Devote Five Years to the Exami
nation ot the Steam Eng.ne.
Thomas A. Edison to a Now York Intcrvlowor.
“The jjreat secret of doing away with the
intermediary furnaces, boilers, steam en
gines and dyuaiuos will be found, proba
bly, within ten years. I have been work
ing away at it for some months and have
got to the point where an apparently in-
sunnountanie obtacle confronts me.
Working at ihe problem now seems to me
very much like driving a aaip straight for
tbe face of a precipice ami when you come
to grief picking yourself up and trying it
again to-iuorruw. There is an opening in
the barrier somewhere and some ucky
man will tiud i’- I have got far enough
to know that the thing is possi
ble. I can get quite a current now direct
ly from tbe comoustlon of fuel. Jab ocb-
koff tried h'a band some years
ago, and ao did some Germans,
but the results were laboratory curiosties
only. I give myself five years to work at
it and shall think myself lucky if I suc
ceed in that time.
“The unacieutitto world has no concep
tion of wbat such a discovo y would mean.
It would put an end to boilers and steam
engines; it would make power about one-
tenth as cheap as it isuow; it would enable
a8'eatu8biptocross tbe Atl mio at a nom
inal cost; it would enable every poor man
to run bis own carrhge; it would revolu
tionize tbe idustrial world."
HUMOR ON THE BATTLE-FiELD.
Some Outer Incident* that Happened In
the Jawe of Death.
Century.
Many humorous incidents occurred on
the battle-fields. A Confederate colonel
ran ahead of bis regiment at Malvern
Hill, and, discovering that tbe men were
not following him as closely as be wished,
be ottered a fierce oath ana exclaimed:
“Come on 1 Do you want to live for
ever?"
The appeal was irresistible, and many a
poor fellow who had laughed at the colo
nel’s queer exhortation, laid down his life
soon after.
A an ell struck the wheel of a Federal
field piece toward the close of the engage
ment at Fair Oaks, and shivering tbe
spokes, dismantled the esnnon.
“Well, isn’t it lucky that didn’t happen
before we used up all our ammunition t"
remarked one of the artliierista as he
crawled from beneath the gun.
awled from beneath tbe gun.
When Geu. Pope was fading back before
Lee’s advance in the Virginia Valley, his
own soldiers thought his orders and bulle
tins somewhat strained in their rhetoric.
At one of the numerous running engage
ments that marked that disastrous cam
paign, a private m one of the Western reg
iments was mortally wounded by a shell.
Seeing the man's condition, a chaplain
knslt beside him, and opening his Bible au
random, read out 8arason’s slaughter of the
Phdds'ines with the jaw bone of en ass.
He had not quito fiuished when, as the
story runs, tbe poor fellow interrupted the
reading by saying:
“Hold on, chaplain. Don't deceive a
dvin& man. Isn’t the niitae of John Pope
signed to that?'.'
A column of troops was pushing for
ward over the long and windl-g road in
Thoroughfare Gap to head off Lee after his
retreat across the Potomac at the close of
the Gettysburg campaign. Suddenly the
signal < ificer who accompanied the gen
eral in command discovered that some of
hia men, posted on a high hill in the rear,
were reporting the presence of a consider
able body of Confederate troops on top of
the bluff to the right. A halt was at once
sounded and the leading brigade or
dered forward to uncover the enemy’s
position. Tbe regiments were soon
scrambling up the steep incline, officers
and men gallantly racing to see who could
reach the crest first. A young lieutenant ......
and half a dozen men gained tae advance, to his work,
but at the end of what they had deemed
a perilous climb they were thrown into
convulsions of langhter at discovering that
what the signal men took for Confederate
troops was only a tolerably large flock of
sheep. As the leaders in this forlorn hope
rolled on the grass in a paroxyism of mer
riment, th-y laughed all tbe louder at see
ing the pale but determined faces of their
comrades, who, of course, came up fully
expecting a desperate hand-to-hand strug
gle.
It is perhaps needless to say the brigade
sapped on mutton that evening.
As the army was crossing South moun
tain tbe day before tbe battle of Antietam,
Gen. McClellan rode along the side of the
moving column. Overtaking a favorite
zouave regiment, he exclaimed with his
natural bonhomie:
“Well, and how is the old fifth this even
ing? ’
• First rate. General," replied one of the
zouaves. “But we’d be better off if we
wern't living ao much on sup position."
“Supposition?" said the General, in a
nuzzled tone. ‘‘What do you mean by
that?"
“It’s easily explained, air. You see, we
expected to get our rations yesterday, but
as we didn't, we’re living on the supposi-
ti>n that we did."
“Ab, I understand; yon shall have your
rations, zouszous, to-night," replied tbe
General, putting spurs to his horse to es
cape the cheers of his regiment. And he
kept his promise.
THE GOVERNOR EMBARRASSED.
He le Hugged by a Woman Who Wlahee to
Seoure Her Brother'* Pardon.
Albany, October 13.— Many pathetic
scenes occur at the Executive Mansion,
but there are few so pathetic and also com
ical as one which occuredto-day, when the
Governor was violently hugged by a
woman hysterically applying for her
brother's pardon. 8ome nine months ago
Myron Fairbanks, of 8outbport, Chemung
county, was sentenced to Auburn Prison
for two years and a half for shooting at
some persons who were stoning his father’s
house. About three months ago, 8amuel
Boone, who mamed Fairbanks sister,
came to teethe Governor, accompanied by
the Rev. Mr. Lindsley, pastor of tbe Presby
terian church. Their vi«it was to obtain a
pardon for Fairbanks. The Governor in
formed them that the district attorney of
Chemung county bad advised him to do
i.'.thing in tin* ni tU-r; that lh*‘ prism..-r
had been justly sentenced. At this the
Gorarnor was grossly Intuited by Boone,
who said: “Blank you, you are preju
dice J. I’m going home to kick that dis
trict attorney, and I will come back and
make it hot for you, if you don’t pardou
this boy.” The Governor ordered the man
out, and the clergyman got him away,
though be kept muttering threats. To
day, however, Boone returned with his
•. ift*. and blie no sooner saw the Governor
than she jumped ut him. ami threw her
arms around his m- k and began pleading
for her brother’s pardon. The Governor
attempted to release her grasp, and finally
did so. begging her to be seated and talk
the matter over quietly, bat at thi* she be-
came very much excited. Then her hus
band began to threaten again, and the
Governor beckoned for assistance, and
they were forcibly removed. In the corri
dor the woman went into hysterics, and
the orderlies had all they could do to get
her down stairs. 8he made the building
fairly ring with her shrieks and had to be
forcibly held down, because she wanted to
return to the Governor’s room. Her hus
band was also much excited, and just as
soon as the elevator reached the lower
floor he took her out, and, aided by some
gentlemen, took her to a physician near
by. When they were gone the Governor,
though evidently ruffled, sat down again
Eloping \tylth the Hired Man. i

Children Killed by a Catamount.
Marion, N. C.. October 12 —Two chil
dren of Qarrott Wiseman, living in Mitch
ell county, near the mica mines met with
a terrible death yesterday. White passing
through a long atrip of woods not far
from the house they were attacked bva
large catamount, and tbe younger child
was instantly killed, the ferocious animal
having bnried his claws in the little girl’s
throat. The older sister attempted to es
cape, but was pursued by tbe catamount
and so terribly lacerated that she was un
able to speak when found. The girls were
aged eight and six years. When the body
of the younger child was found it bad
been partially eaten by the animal, tbe
face being unrecognizable.

A MYSTERIOUS OUTRAGE.
New
A BET WITH A TRICK TO IT.
Balt Successfully Cast for a Gudgeon by
a Sharp -r of the Lobbies.
New Haven Register.
A prominent politician of Yale was neatly
done up this summer by a sharp game.
Happening to be in a hotel lobby, he heard
one gentleman say to another: ’Til oet
yon $10 I can name twenty States that will
go Democratic this faff." The man imme
diately accepted the bet and the names
were delivered to him in a sealed envelope,
Which he was not to oneu for a few min
utes. A little while after, the same man,
being in a bragring mood, said that
he could “name six more States
that would go the same way. Men called
him crazy and some went out to look
for the police. In tbe meantime he pulled
out his bankbook and offered to back up
hli statement to the amount of twenty-
live dollars. Our college politician, send
ing by, offered to b et nim fifty dollars.
The man couly accepted and wrote down
the names of the six best Democratic
State.* iu the Union.
Then there was naturally some curiosity
to see what the oilier twenty names were
and the envelope was opened, when it was
found that twenty States had been named
regardless of their political tendency. The
man had sacrificed ten dollars to make fif
teen. and our college friend, being gener
ous, increased the amount by twenty five
dollars.

Captain Smith’s Novel Experiences,
Baltimore Sun.
Cant. Smith, of the steamer Maggie,
says he encountered a whirlwind in the
bay at 10:3 o’clock last Saturday night.
He wap coming up the bay under easy
steam. The weather was mild and fair.
When abreast of Hooper’s straits the
steamer was struck by a whirlwind,
which made the boat tremble and shake at
quits a great rate. The sensation was a
queer one, and both doors of the pilot
house were blown open. The steamer
was hard to steer for tbe five minutes the
whirlwind lasted. It churned the nay in
to foam all around; and passed to the
southeast, picking up the water with a
roaring sound. Captain Boggs, of the
schooner Alice and Anna, ot Onaticock,
Accomac county, Va., bound for Balti
more on tho same night, was struck by the
same whirlwind. It came near tearing
the saile off the vessel, and made her be
ll ve very queerlv.
Capt. 8nu*h also reports a singular and
beautiful phenomenon while going into
the Annamessex river day last Tuesday
morning *n mute to Critfield At Jaynes
Hand Point is a large can buoy which
stands on Ihe edge of what is known to
sailors as the “Puopy Hole" Tbe water
in this place is always agitated and bub
kling and no bottom has ever been found
in It. It is tho mystery of Tangier’*
sound, and various superstitions are con
nected with it in tbe minds of the oyster-
men thereabouts. At the timo ihe Maggie
was nexring the buoy, Capt. Smltn states,
the ebb tide was running out of Anna*
mesaex river and a strong south wind was
blowing agiinst it. which caused consid
erable agitation where tbe buoy wa« an
chored When a mile offhenot’ced the
flashing of what appeared to be a circle of
white light around a dark object bobbing
up and down on the water, and which he
thonglit was the buoy. Running up close
to it, in rounding the point he saw that tire
fluhing light was a broad circle of phos
phorescent light, in tbe center of which tbe
bouy was dancing ou tbe waves. The ef
fect was very novel and beautiful.

“Lace sleeves" and “white dresses" will
soon go glimmering through things that
were, and the woodbine, which so tenderly
ana Jovi. gly twined its green clusters
around some deserted tree, has changed
its summer dress and is now drawing on
its autumn robes. These September day*

Young Lady Attacked on i
Hampshire Mountain Road.
Concord, N. H., October 13.—Sunday
evening a young lady about 20 years of
age started on foot to go from the Pina*
cook Mountain House to the house of Jer
emiah Stevens, about three-quarters of a
mile distant. At 0:30 p. m. she arrived at
her destination with clothin* covered with
blood, which flowed from gashes on both
wrists. All she could say was that she re
membered passing a certain oak tree be
side the road, and the next thing she
kaew she was sitting beside tbe road
with gashes in the wrists, bleeding copi
ously. When she arrived at the Stevens
house she appealed to be greatly fright
ened and could give no explanation of her
wounds. There was no evidence that any
indecent assault had been attempted.
Upon the left wrist there were seven gasli
es, two of which were made through
the dress sleeve, and upon the right wrist
eleven.
The gashes were parallel, about a quar
ter of an inch apart, and so deep as to
bleed freely. There were also long scratch
cs on each side of the girl’s throat. She
has no recollection of seeing or hearing
any one passing, and the whole affair is
shrouded in mystery. The young lady
bears an excellent reputation.

The English Sparrer WII Not go.
New York, October 13.—There was an
immense audience in Madison Square Oaf
den to night« f fully seven thousand peo
ple to witness the much talked of sparring
match between Charles Mitchell, of Eng
land, and Dominick McCaffrey, of Pitts
burg. The match was for the entire ga e
money, four rounds, Marquis of Queens
berry ru’es, Mitchell to receive $1,000, win
or lose. After some boxing bouts by some,
well-known pugilists, who showed excel
lent training, tbe stars of tbe evening
came upon the platform. McCaffrey
was dressed in salmon-colored tights
and wore a green belL He was at
tended by Bflly O’Brien and Billy Ed
wards. Charley Mitchell was dressed in
white, and had for his attendants Billy
Madden and James Campbell. J. B. Mc
Cormick was appointed referee, while Ed
Plummer acted as time-keepar. The
gloves used were very small, and by no
means soft. As soon as they squared off
McCaffrey got well homo on the faco,
Mitchell countering on the chest. These
blows were hard ones, and made the con
testants go back to long-range work.
Mitchell next attempted a visitation of the
young Pittsburger’s ribs, and then McCaf
frey swung his right hand on Mitchell’s
ear with force enough to make him see
stars. When they returned to their cor
ners they were flushed and panting.
Round second—Mitchell became very
aggressive, putting in some Bounding hits
on McCaffrey's face, eye and stomach, bnt
McCaffrey kept cool, countered his antago
nist on the ear and straightened him by a
flush bit on tho nose. Then they got into
short range, and Mitchell showed to the
most advantage. The latter drove McCaf
frey before him on to the ropes, knocking
his head back with a left-hander.
Tois was a terrific lunge, bnt McJaffrey
had his revenge by a neat straight counter
on Mitchell's forehead.
Round third—McCaffrey tried to make
his lead, but was short, and the pair came
to a clinch. Mitchell getting home on the
chest and mouth, Mao catching Mitchell
on the ear. the latter countering in his
face, and then using both hands on the
body and mouth. The balf-arm work was
very fine in this round, which ended by
Mitchell getting home with both bands to
the face and n»-ck. When they retired to
their corners Mitchell was bleeding from a
cut over tbe left eye.
Round fourth—McCaffrey tried with his
left but fell short, while Mitchell landed a
straight counter full in bis antagonist's
face, following it up wi h another in the
mouth. This seemed to rile McCaffrey,
and they rushed to short range, the latter
sending in his right like a rifle shot. In an
instant Mitchell was covered with blood,
his left eye having a gash an Inch long,
but besought like a demon. McCaffrey
met him, however, halfway, and. tired
as he was, used his right witn pre
cision and effect, whilo Mitchell kept
sending in hit left, Tae closing scenes
were so exciting that every one seemed to
lose his head, and it was not for some min
utes that the referee’s voice cou'd be heard.
McCaffrey was declared the winner.
Wbat tbe judgment was based on it is
bard to say, as tbe match was as even a
one as ever was fought, and if another
round bad been fongbt one pugilist or tbe
other, it is impossible to say which, mast
have dropped. _
