for making self prcpelling or perpetual
motion. lie says that in 1859 be and his
brother in Boone's Hollow constructed a
machine that was selfac,ing. md gained
two-thirds Of the poser Of It's own " light.
A considerable quantity Of lead was used
in the construction; and some Union sol.
diers were informed by enemies Of the
Newcombs who were Southern sympa-
thizersl that they were engaged in SNUG
Cling ammunitions 20 the Rebel soldiers
under Zollicoher. The Federals accord.
ingly went to this hollow and destroyed all
the work which they had accomplished.
During .he war operation. could not be
resumed. After The war Mr.. Newcomb
sustained severe financial reverse, his
brother died, and he has since been unable
to construct the machine. which in making
will involve a considerable outlay Of time,
money and labor lie declare. that there

he can demonstrate the secret Of its opera

like to find man, OF set Of men, who
would lend him pecuniary assistance in de-
veloping this long sought power. Mr..
Newcomb is an honest, Christian gentle
man. and has never exhibited any symp-
toms Of mental absrration-except his
statement that he can construct a perpetu-
al self propelling machine.
