THE KELLEY MOTOR.
The Inventor Supported blythe Custodian
of His Secret


PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 13.-The annual
meeting Of the stockholders of the Kelley
Motor Company was held to-day, at which
the reports of the directors and William
Bockel, who was chosen by the stockhold-
ers and Kelley as the custodian of his
secret, were presented. A report from
Kelley was also presented. Kelley saws
his engine will soon be completed and in
full operation, and he will bring the mat
ter TO the attention of the Pennsylvania
Railroad Company with the view of hay-
ing the engine applied on their road be-
tween Philadelphia and New York. Mr..
Bockel in his report speaks of the natural
forces, which, he says, Keeley has been
assiduously studying, until the inven-
tors investigations and experiments have
carried him far beyond the laboratory ex-
perimentS of such men as Tyndall and
other scientific investigators, and he has
succeeded in actually Harvesting and
utilizing subtle force which to them has
been only subject of wonder. He
then goes on to show that what Keeley
claims to have discovered is a
tact-that water in a natural state is
capable of being, by vibratory action, dis
integrated, so that its molecular structure
is broken up and there is evolved there
from permanent exhaustive gas or ether.
He concludes: "Keeley has discovered all
that he has claimed, and the stockholders
should abide in patience the success of
the enterprise"

Two Important Proposals Looking to
Its Recovery.

W WASHINGTON, Dec. 13.-The joint se-
lect Committee ON American Shipping to-
day further discussed the various propO-
sitions for the relief of the shipping in
terest. The following proposition, pre-
pared by the San Francisco Board of
Trade and introduced in the House of
Representatives by Mr.. Page, was unani-
mOusly adopted:
''That whenever any vessel, whether
steam or sail, shall be constructed or
equipped in the United States for foreign
trade, including trade between Atlantic
and Pacific ports of the United States, in
whole or in part of materials of the pro-
ductiOn of the United States, the owner
or owners of such vessels shall be entitled
to receive and collect from the United
States sum equal in amount to the duty
which would have been collected upon
imported imperials used in the cOnstruc-
ton, equipment, engines, boilers and
other appurtenances of such steam or sail
vessels"
A second proposition, also prepared bv
the San Francisco Board of Trade, was
adopted, providing that all registered YES
sells, either sail or steam, of the United
States engaged exclusively in the foreign
carrying trade are hereby exempted from
all or any State or municipal taxation.

THE BRIDGE HORROR.
Further Details of the Disaster.

SAN ANTONIO, TEXAS, Dec. 13.-At a.
IN. Tuesday the false work of the bridge
across the great dry canon, four miles
west of the Pecos river, on the Sunset
road, and three-fourths of mile
from the end of the Southern Pa
citic track, fell in a solid
mass, precipitating nineteen hands
a distance Ofseventy-five feet on the rocks
below. Seven men were killed outright
and one has since died. There is little
hope for the recovery of three others. The
false works had been erected
some time, and the weight of the
material brought upon it for the
permanent bridge is supposed to
have been too great to bear, and it gave
way over deep gorge having almost per-
pendicular cliffs. The length of the
bridge was 200 feet. The dead were buried
in an adjacent cave, and two physicians
are caring for the wounded men. The dis
aster will delay the completion of the
bridge perhaps sixty days.
GALVESTON, Dec. ia San Antonio
special gives further details of the acei-
dent at the Pecos bridge ON the Mexican
Pacific extension. The killed are John
Bennick, j. 5. Harrell, RObt, McComb. J.
5. Kemp, John Atkinson, VIM, L. Russell,
James Smith and William Flanders,
William Morrow and Peter Hollywood are
dying, and number of others are more
