But when the excursion reached Atlantic City, for
some unaccountable reason, the party did not go
near Mr. Keats establishment lie thereupon sought
the Mayor, but learned from him that he had no
legal remedy, inasmuch as the contract was not
formal and complete one.
Subsequently to this story crept into print to

THE'NEw RAILWAY TO FRANKFoRD.-
The RESIDENTS OF Frankford have long been suffer
ing for the want of increased facilities for reaching
the heart of the city. This Inconvenience IS no v
removed, as the road of the new Frankford and
Philadelphia Passenger Railway Company Is at last
completed. The cars commence running to-day.
At the depot OF the Second and Third Streets Com
panY the cBri Of the Frank ord road will connect
with those of this line, rendering the passage into
town as easy and rapid as could be desired.
The construction the new road has occu pied
about one year. Starting from the Second and
Third Streets Depot there is q double track on
Frankford road as far the Bridge. From
this point track follows the main street. and the
other Pearl street, which is adjacent to it.. Tne new
length of the Second and Third Street road will
make continuous line of tul fourteen miles. A

ACCIDENT To HoRsEs.-The plank side
walk, adjacent to the Farmers Market, Minor
street. between Fourth and Fifth, IS an intolerab Q
nuisance. Many of the panks are rotten, ana all of
them rickety. About half past IL O'Clock to-day
an accident happened from this cause, that might
have proved fatal to human life.
Fortunately, only one horse was killed and an
other frightened entirely out Of his wits The two
horses were attached 60 a carriage of Mr.. Horny
Menchert, who attempted to turn them about by
driving upon the sIdewnd, when two ol the planks
gave way. The animals fell into the cellar beneath,
making some twelve fet in theI descent
A vast crowd OF market people and passers-by
soon collected. Then q temporary tackle was
arranged and the ANIMALS were thus brought a0ain
to the level OF the earth When the living one found
his feet resting on terr frTnG he commenced to
plunge and rear IN Antastic fashion. The result
was precipitate retreat of the small boys in the
vicIultv. We deem it high time that this plank
nuisance were abated

OF the white flag. When informed of ths
visit of Wigfall, they exchanged significant
glances and smiles, and Colonel Chestnut
frankly informed Major Anderson. that the
texan conspirator had not seen Beauregard
during the last two days. Wishing to secure
for himself alone the honor of procuring the
surrender of Fort Sumter, w igfall had, by
msrepresents tions, obtained leave from the
Commander on Morris Island to 90 to the be-
leigered fort. He went there with a white
flag in his hand and a black falsehood on his
lips, and played most ludcrous part. He
was an acknowledged and cherished leader of
tatlve of the cause in which he was engaged,
for it was the offspring of falsehood and fraud.
Assured of Wigfall's mendacity, the de-
ceived and indignant commander said to the
new deputation: 6 That white flag shall come
down Immediately" They begged him to
leave matters as they were until they could
see Beauregard. He did so, and the firing
ceased.
A ludicrous incident occurred Colonel
Pryor, armed with sword, pistols and bowie
knife, and assuming the air of a man who
possessed the fort and all within it, seeing a
tumtler on a table. and what he supposed to
be whiskey-bottle near it, poured ont of the

administered. and in the course of hour OF

A WESTERN PoLITIcIAN.-The following
capital anecdote of Arkansas political lie Is
only In exaggeration of what may be observed
in other Western States
About twenty years ago, Governor Y
and Judge W-were candidates TOR Con-
gress IN this district. They were both far
sighted, shrewd politiclans-the Governor, by
tar the more winning in his manners, as the
sequel will fully establish. One hot day In
July, while they were travelling together
on the canvass, they came upon party of
twenty men or more assembled on the road
side tor the purpose of having shooting
match. Thinking it good time and place
for presenting their respective claims the Gov
ernor proposed stopping. They halted, the
Governor soon made himself at home. He
bought a number of chances in the match,
and being a good marksnau succeeded IN
winning quite a quantity OF beef, which con-
stituted the prize.
The Judge had conscientious scruples as to
shooting matches, and did not participate, but
stood by conversing with the more sober oi
the crowd, while the Governor was in high
glee with his companions over the beef. When
Il was given out 20 the successful shooters
oar Governor ordered his to be divided among
scme widows who he ascertained lived in ths
vicinity, and then asked the b'hoys if they

Governor ordered plentiful supply OF the

A IN IN Onia AS II Motive Power,

The praclicabIiity of confning a motive pow
er IN receivers, convenient for transportat n to
any place where the work is to be done, has Of
ten been discussed by mechanics and engineers,
out hitherto without arriving at solution of
the problem. Nj. Teller, French chemist,
proposes to employ ammonical gas for this
pui pose. BY generating this gas under the
pressure OF rs own atmosphere, it is convert
I'd into liquid, which, even at very low tenn
prrature, exerts a pressure of seven atmos-
pheres.
The properties upon which the new applica-
tons OF ammonia are founded are as follows ::
l. The great solubility Of ammoniacal gas in
water 2. It's easy hquefacton. g. The fac
ully when 1t possesses OF furnishing mech4ni-
Cal force al ordinary temperatures. 4. The
possibility of super-heaung its vapors wirhou,
the necessity OF high temperature. 5. TEE
ability TO recov- the whole Of it by dissolvug
1t, aud the employ ment of the heat in the prep
aration OF new Quantities
1t follows, if THESE points are established that
the gas can be collected and hqoifed in any
place, and with a qu nifty of water three times
as large, one can vapofize the gas, using il a
motive power at pressure of eight to ten at
mospheres, an operation in which the action will
remain constant, because the heat required to
produce the gas will be formed ty the caloric

luton
If, therefore, in large establishment, ammo
mis- is evolved and Gqui6ed it can be trans
ported to any spot where it is required, and
will furnish Immediately, and without further
trouble, motive power of the most economical
character. Its application to fire engines, and
the further employment of the ammoniacal gas
to extnguish the fires, are very obvious advan-
| tages, if the plans Of the inventor can be prac-
| lically accomplished.
1t is Claimed that with twenty pounds OF lq.
nehed ammonia force equal to one horse pow
er can be main ntained for an hour. The inventor
does not claim that hs application super.
sede steam power-it is simply proposed as a
substitute for steam, in places where the latter
cannot be employed. An omnibus with an am
monia engine of two horse power, can be pro-
PEELED eight miles with forty pounds of liQuid
ammonia, and one hundred and twenty pound.

With such provision, which can be repeated
each trip. the company would have a simple
compact, easily managed motion, disengagins
neitehr smoke nor vapor, always ready, what.
ever be the time of stoppags or delay, and &C
comprising saving OF fifty per cent. over the
employment of horses, and Of other means O

| M. Teller sums up the various applications
of his invention as follows: l. Adaption t. ri
evated railroads. Circulation in tunnels ane
places where the combustion of air wou,t
prove destructive. 8. Employment on eros
roads and city railroads f. In the workin,
