WONDERFUL DISCOVERY OF A NEW NO.
TOR BY A CHICAGO MAN.

CHICAGO, ILL.,, March 1.-AnnOunce-
ment is made of the discovery of a re-
markable motor known as the "Triple
Thermic Motor The new motive
power is the yapor of bisulphate of
carbon. 1t has been in practical use
driving a sixty-hOrse power engine for
six months past in the cement paving
mandatory in West FOrty-sixth
street. The discoveries of the means
OF applying the new power and inventor
of the machinery adopted to its use is
w. S. ColWell, formerly of Pittsburg,
who, it is claimed, has been at work for
many years on the application of the
same. The material from which the
vapor is generated by bisulphate of car
bon is a discovery of the last century.
The force and power OF the vapor in it's
application far surpasseS that of steam,
and its application and regulation is al
ready more perfect and safe than steam.
The invention or discovery consists in
evolving bisulphide of carbon into a
vapor for operating machinery by gen
Grating heat IN q generator and trans
ferring it into u vessel containing bisul-
phide of carbon. The latent heat of
steam is utilized into vapor, only 1882
being necessary to produce this vapor.
A prominent engineer of Chicago, in
giving the result of his examination of
the new mOter, says: II saw 15-hOrse
power boiler with very little fire under
it generating steam which was generat-
ed by the new moter, which in turn ran
an engine of 60-horse power" A syn
dieate has been formed which controls
the invention and all its patents. The
capital stock is $2500O,OOO, of which
$8,00O,00O have been realized on stock.
Ex-Governor Hubbard, of Texas, and
ext Collector Baird, of Boston, are men
toned as being largely interested in the
new motor syndicate.

Not Death. But New Life.
n. Q. PicaIune.

After dark and horrible broodine
over the inscrutahle purposes of the
Almighty, Judge j. A. Jameson has
presented to us in the March number OF
| the North American Review a picture
OF National Night, out of whose angry
heaven we can almost see the lurid
ll2htniDg's binding flashing. The
Judg declares that perhaps He intends
20 destroy, 1t the evil and not the good,
the immoral and not the pure, come to
prevail on the earth," He has accepted
the ,vaticination of Macaulay, that ''the
G0ths and Vandals which would over
power our civilization would come upon
us from within" He observes that
there is now left no foreign race
winch, as III the case of Rome, while it
tramples our liberties and our institu-
tlons into the dust, would regenerate us
by it's homely but unsophisticated vir-
tues.n
La considering the causes which are
to culmlnate i'll the national cataclysm,
the Judge advances from the physical
to the moral, and finally to the moral
physical. specifying of the latter cate
CORY only one, the widely prevalent
and growing aversion of the higher
ranks OF society to marriage, or if mar
rage occur, to the having of offspring
he adds, that ''if advancing civilization
IS to bring with it the general preva-
lence OF this aversion, and if the wicked
ingenuity of men shall be able to devise
ettectual means for preventing the
growth OF families, the doom of our civ
lllzation is irrevoeably fixed. It's down
fall must follow"
The Judge, it seems to US, is wrong,
Tor the Goths and Vandals which will
OverpOWer that civilization will come
upon US from within, and come to reno
Vate. 1t is not the civilization, which
must perish from the earth, but the
higher ranks of society. The mistake
OF the Judge consists Just herein: that
he has assumed that the higher ranks of
society embOdy the civilization. The
truth, so far as democratic government
Is concerned, is that they do not ad-
vance but are carried forward by civili-
zatlon. Their relation to it is that of
the fungus to other vegetation. Fungi
Inhale the life-giving oxygen and ex-
hale the death laden carbonic acid gas.
But the other vegetation breathes in
the death and gives out the life, because
it has its roots in the earth. HOmely
virtue grows up from earth like heart
OF oak, and, by the providence of that
doom which the Judge foresees, it will
come under our free institutions to sit
upon the thrones which shall have been
vacated by the evanescence of the high
ef classes of society,"
England maintains the blood of her
arlstocracy by drawing into its folds |
the great statesmen, orators, poets, phi
losophers, warriors. It is the blood of
the COmmoners that keeps up the House
OF Lords. Here it is the blood and |

FROM NEW ORLEANS.
A TeIegraphic strike Imminent Among
the Operators.

NEW ORLEANS, Dec. II.
An afternoon paper publishes an inter-
view with telegraph operator, where he is
represented saying that there Is every
reason to believe that a telegraphic strike is
imminent The operators here are ready to
give the signal; that plans have been matured
for some time and that New Orleans will
sound the key note. it being the most favora-
BILE point as it will be difficult to get opera
tors here in case of sudden strike. The
brotherhood are more capable to make a
stronger fight than ever before. He says
the grievances complained of are that those
who were promised Ss5 a month got only
from $50 to $40 and that operators have to
do extra work without pay. Il is claimed
today that the action Of the force depends on
the answer Of Gen. Eckert 60 their appeal.
Manager ALLYN of the Western Union Co.,
on being shown the above interview, said no
operator had been promised S75 or $50 and
paid only $50. That while there is some
dissatisfaction about cutting off emergency
extra he does not believe il is to such an
extent as to warrant a strike.

THE BURGLARY AT FARMINGToN.
Wade's JeweIry Store Entered and
Robbed-NoI Cew to the Thief.

FARMISGToS, Dec. II.
1t transpires that daring burglary was
committed in Pennington some time between
last Saturday night and Monday morning and
this community is thrown into excitement
over this event. On the corner Of Broadway
ard Main streets in a very central position in
this village is the jewelry store Of Mr. Lewis
I. Wade. On the second and third floors
above are the editorial, composing and press
rooms Of the Pennington Chronicle. Late
Saturday night Mr.. Wade locked his store
upon carefully seeing that everything
was all right, and IA he remembers, placed
his keys in one of his overcoat pockets with
other keys The bunch containing the key
to his safe and to the outer door of his store
had a tag on which was engraved his name
Contrary to his usual custom, on account of
sickness in his family, Mr.. Wade did not
visit his store on Sunday. Monday morning
his clerk Mr.. Geo. b. Presson. opened the
store, which he found locked built his fires,
swept out, and going to the safe to open it
found it unlocked, the outer door being sim
ply closed. and the valuable jewelry it con-
tanned gone. Only the things that held the
watches, chains and rings remained He i'm
mediately rushed to Mr.. Wade's residence and
informed him of his startling discovery, and
upon investigation Mr.. Wade found that his
keys were missing. He believes, and it is
the theory here, that he lost his keys going
up Main street to his home Saturday eve
ming, and that they were found and made use
OF in the intervening time before Monday
morning No clue to the robber or robbers
has yet been found. The safe contained
silver and gold watches, rings, chains, etc. of
great value, the definite amount of which
cannot as yet be estimated. Much sympathy
is expressed for Mr.. Wade, who is man of
sterling character and highly respected
throughout this community.

THE FIRST TO SECEDE.
Republican Address of Congratulations
The Belief That Tennessee win be
the First to Break the solid south.

NASHVILLE, Dec. II.
The Tennessee republican committee has
issued an address congratulating the party
upon the results achieved in Tennessee at the
recent election, The address states that Ten.
nessee will be probably the first State to
secede from the solid South, and this act OF
secession will be worth millions of dollars to
her in the shape of accessions to her mineral
wealth.
Attention is called to the fact that the dem
ocratic party has brought disgrace upon the
State and squandered, through dishonest
State and county officials, large amounts of
public funds paid into the treasury by tax
burdened people.
The committee announces that the party
last month elected fifty members of the legis-
lature, gained one congressman. reduced the
democratic majority in various congressional
districts and increased the republican vote
nearly $4,000.
In referring to the charge that the repub-
lican national committee contributed largely
toward tine campaign expenses, the committee
says: I'VE have accomplished what we
have without aid from abroad and with means
barely sufficient to pay the expenses of the
campaign
