claims to have discovered is 1.-The fact that
water in its natural state is capable of being by
vibratory action, dsintegrated so that its mole
cular structure is broken up, and there is
evolved therefrom permanent expansive gas
or ether, which result is produced by mechani-
cal action, very many of those to whom this
communication is addressed have frequently
seen at the workshop of Mr.. Keeey: the evolu-
ton of this substance and its registry i'm a
chamber where it eXerted an expansive energy
OF upwards of $1,000 pounds to the square

gines at different times. each being an improve

struction OF a vibrating engine of 500 horse

EIGHT MEN KILLED AND OTHERS WOUNDED.

the Great Dry Canyon, four miles west OF Pecos

track, fell in solid mass, preciptating nineteen
hands distance of seyenty-five feet on the

and one has since died. There is little hope for
the recovery of three Others. The false work
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 perpendicular cliffs. The length of the
bridge was 200 feet. The dead have been buried

More About Nrs- Langfrx

The Boston correspondent OF the London
Times is credited with furnishing the Boston
Eceaing Star with the real reason why New
YORK society refused to open its doors to Mrs
Lan9try. According to this statement. when
Sir George Chetwynd learned of Mrs. Langtry' s
departure for America he announced his inten-
ton of following her. His wife thereupon
caused her friends to write to the leaders of
New York society stating that no woman who
called upon Mrs. Langtry need expect to be re-
ceived in England. When Mrs. Langtry and
Mrs. LabOuchere reached New York they found
that the fashionable ladies had received these
warnings and held aloof from Them Mrs. La
