Company. who promised the presence Of Mr..

demand for money. That number met in parlor
ID. r. Keely was present. He is tall. largely
| constructed. very dark: wears big black side
whiskers and moustache, short goatec. and
much long black hair. The salient points OF
his costume on this occasion were white vest
and one brown cotton glove.
Director Throop called the meeting to order.
and proposed Mr.. Todd for Chairman. to which
Mr. Todd replied " Decidedly not SIR" Mr..
james McDonough was more complainant. and
consented to serve az presiding officer. Mr..
Schueerman was appointed Secretary.
Director Cook read the promised statement OF
the board setting forth their undiminished
faith in Mr.. Keey. and the value OF his inven-
ton. lamenting the costliness OF his expert
mcnts hut Offering assurances that beyond n
doubt they would speedily be brought to perfect
realization OF all that had been promised. II
only little more money could be raised to
| carry them on. The directors had already ad-
vanced 80 900 from their own pockets during
the past year and n half. and felt that they had
| done all they could. Now, therefore, they called
| upon the stockholders to help nv loaning a 900

Mr.. Green explained to his fellow stockhold-
crs that Mr.. Keely had substituted vibratory
machine and rotary engine for pressure en-
gine, and he himself had seen 1t operating sue

must be raised to build the engine. Ii is true
we can sell territory, but at q sad sacrifice. Yet
there Is no other way II stockholders will
will loan the money, for by the law AN as
sessment cannot be levied on the stock. Stock
might bo sold. but only l24 shares remain in
the treasury. and It could only be sold at very
low figure now
Director rhroop said that tho territory which
could be sold was half Of the New England
States which should be avoided If possible.
stakeholder suggested the voluntary Telin-
quishment of shares by members who could
AFFORD it. 10 put some stock in the treasury for
sale.
Mr.. Throop. with some asperlty. begged 10
observe that money was needed much more
than stock.
Mr.. Schuellermnn said that the company
owed Mr. Krely 81 800 for nine mouths salary
and that he needed the money. Furthermore
the company owed himself $500 for his SER
vices. He was opposed To selling territory
however. For that valuable halt Of the New
England States they would get only 1900 or
$4,000. and would have to pay Mr.. Keey there
for when the patents were issued, by their con-
tract with him $50 900. which he thought would
be bad hnanciering.
director said that Messrs Becker, Wright
and Throop had been appointed IA committee by
the board 10 ascertain the best terms they could
get for the territory spoken Of and only ~ 900
