months ago conceived the idea of inyen-
ting q machine embodying the principle
of perpetual motion. He worked stead
lily and laboriously during his spare
hours, and Hnally thought that he had
discovered the secret which had eluded
the search ofso many thousands. About
Eve weeks ago he determined to subject
his machine, which he had completed,
to practical test. 1t proved disas-
trous failure, and his fond hopes were
completely crushed. His mind became
unsettled and he resorted to self-des
truotion as an escape from melancholy.

Remarkable Experiences Of an Unfor'

death of Charles II. Fairchild, who was burned
to death In Auburn on Sunday morning. Ho

to have been haunted by misfortune until his

when he began q sailors life, and lived on tho
sea for twenty years, during which time no
Travelled around the world three times. Once
he was shipwrecked and escaped with fifteen
others on a raft. They foated for fifteen
days, during which time thirteen OF them
died, and he and his surviving companion had
nearly perished from starvation and exposure
when picked up. At another time, when his
ship was cruising on the coast OF Africa, he
and another sailor were washed overheard and
managed to reach the shore. There being
no habitation near, they started inland, ano
after travelling almost one hundred miles they
fell into the hands Of the maneaters. The
arrival of the captors in the village was hailed
with demonstrations Of Joy and delight. They
were critically examined by the King, who
ordered them fattened and killed for his own
special consumption. They were then re.

days they dieted on the choicest food the land
could produce. They thrived and grew fat,

posts and Fairchild and his companion
scaled the stockade which surrounded them.
Near by was n river. They found n canoe, and
with it they escaped. They made their way to
the coast again, where they acknowledgement
months before a vessel made its appearance.
During his seafaring life Fairchild accumu-
lated about $4,000, which, upon settling In
Philadelphia, he deposited ina bank. num-

New York and had his household goods packed

the bank, intending TO start for New York the
next day. That night the house in which he
lived burned down, and with 1t HIS money and
ten-ycar-old daughter were burned, aud the
rest Of his family barely escaped with their
lives. Afterward he moved TO Syracuse, and
five years ago he went to Auburn to live, and
there came to his death by being burned with
