TIIE WEEKLY TELEGRAPH AND MESSENGER, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 17. 16' 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. Among those present were: F. G. Green, president of the Keeiy Mo or Company; O. A. Tatum, A. T Van Nest. \V. H. LI - by, B. L.

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 i Rockford, III., October 12.—It ha* now been learned that Nannie Keith, the fifteen- year-old daughter of Adam Keith, the the wealthy farim-r residing in 1> mitt town ship in this county, eloped on Friday with her father's hired man, Fred Whltoey. He left Winnebago on Thursday wi h a pair of horsed for the West. He went io Freeport, where he sold ihe team and took train for Chicago. The girl got on the train at \Y inuebsgo, and they went to Chi cago together, where they are now stop ping. Before the girl left she purchased a •rge quantity of goods and bad them "charged to her father. The matter has created great excitement on account of the prominence of tae girl’s father. 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. Murder on a Steamboat. Little Rock, Ark., October 15.—In an affray on the steamer Woodson, twelve miles below here, last night, Mr. Haines, the engineer, was killed by Cassius Clay colored), tbe steward, who afterwards umped overboard and was drowned. The Prime Meridian. Washington, October 13.—The interna tional prime meridian conference to-day adopted the meridian of Greenwich.

Brickell, of this city, has tendered his resignation as Chief Justice of theBupreme Court of this State. He inten. a opening a law office. The resignation has not yet been accepted by tbe Governor. 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. It was Ms Bt. John. • N. Y. 8nn. Secretary—Here Is a telegram from one of the Presidential candidates asking for a special train. President—Certainly; let him have it. Which one is it, Blaiae or Cleveland ? Secretary—Neither.

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. Kind Words for Fall. * Clarksvlllo Democrat. Summer, with all its “white vests and pic nics." and its soft sighing breezes, has come and gone, or rather stands t\and in hand with autumn, as if loath to depart. “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.

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 Heartless Paragraphs. m Memphis Avalanche. Joaquin Miller says the people of New York are iron-hearted. He is likely to 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. _ Left Intne Lurch. Ellisvflle. Miss., October 13.—On Sat urday night Robert Lfpes, a deputy sheriff only seventeen years of age. ana Jacob George, a telegraph operator, aged twenty- one, released a negro f om the county jail, promising him his freedom if he would kill Dr. Schumacher, a druggist. Tbene gro rarrie i out his contract, calling Schu macher from the shop and shooting and mortally wounding him. The instigators of tbe crime then helped to organize a mob of citizens, who pursued the negro, while Lines and his com rades quietly slipped away. When the mob overtook the negro they shot him, in dicting a mortal wound. The negro, while dying, implicated the deputy sheriff and telegraph operator in the crime and the mob turned on them, but they had fled. It is supposed they have gone to New Orleans. .
