Mr. John Kelley, the motor map, comes to
tho front again. lie doeS this regularly
every year, when he gets the stockholders Of
the motor company together and makes re-
port of progress in the perfection of his new
motor. He declared some years ago that he
had discovered principle in nature, and had
invented machine with which, with quart
ofordinsry hydrSnt water, he could run r
heavy train of cars over any railroad any
distance required. He of course created IA
commoton for while, and he succeeded
in organizing company and getting capital
with which to work on his machine. He has
never yet been able to get his machine TO
work exactly but he is always reporting that
he is nearly ready. The stockholders held
h meeting in Philadelphia few days ago
and the Press thus speaks of it, "Thero
were present over sixty gentlemen, includ-
Ing about twenty from New York,
the whole attendance BY per
sons and proxies representing
1882 shares of the 100 900 issued. InGs-
much as 10 42i shares Of the entire number
issued are in the treasury Of the company, il
will be seen that nearly oil the stock issued

New York, presided, with Charles w,

the tensile quality of metals and for
gunnery Is fixed fact, and that

thus repay the stockholders for their untir.
ing patience and energy. In conclusion tn c
directors expressed their qualification at
being enabled to say that many of tho 637
stockholders representing the company took
an interest in the motor in its iufancy, and
invested in the first shares of stock issued
At the conclusion of the reading of tho re-
port Radcliffe Baldwin, of New York, stated
that two million dollars arc annually e1-
pended in Now York alonc for COMPRISING
cotton prior TO Ito shipment TO Europe, and Il
Mr.. Keely's machine could do nothing more

able invention and amply recompenso the
stockholders for the interest they havo mani

terchsnge Of congratulations among the
stockholders, and it was decided that sons
action was necessary 10 order to express theil
qualification at MIR. Keolys steady progres.
and brilliant prospects.

Obituary.
The dun sward of winter lays torn and unklit
over all that is mortal of GARRETT BARRY.
This siBgularly gifted man an artist by inspi
ration. Under the spell of genius stern granite
found utterance in EXPRESSION, and marble woro
the imagery of lace. He learned to model and carve
in his fathers workshop, at Quincy, Mass. Before
he was twenty he carved for Annie Whitney her
statue of Lady Godiva. He executed a bust of Mrs.
Edwin Booth from portrait, and it now marks her
grave at Mt. Auburn. He carved those handsome
Eey-stones that decorate the door and windows of
the National Historical Society Building in Boston.
The fine profile of Culver, the French naturalist,
over the main entrance, is young Barry's work.
which shows the exhaustless power Of his fertile
brain. Over the inner side of the north front door
and star emblazoned shield, by Barry, which is a
perfect gem. Public buildings in other cities.
parks, fountains, art objects have been touched
with beauty by the originality of design delicacy
of taste and wonderful form that marked all his
efforts. At the very threshold of great possibilities
he has passed away, let us hope where there are
nohler tyres of beauty and no obstacles to grander
and freer flight.

was warned some time ago that he would have
to pay with his life the forfeit of having voted

man rode up to his ranch and informed him that
the wife Of the ringleader of the gang was i'll,
and that he must attend her. He naturally
kill him, but he got his horse and rode away
with the messenger right among the gang OF
desperadoes, and, diSmOunting, entered the
tent Of the woman. There lay the sufferer,
while the man who had promised to kill the
physician stood near by. The doctor drew his
revolver, placed it on the pillow, and remarked
