A RIVAL FOR The KELLY MOTOR.
The TRIBE ThPrmiC, Invented by n
Former PiIIsburgher.


CHICAGO, March 1.-The announcement
is made OF the discovery OF a new and re-
msrkable n otor known as the Triple
Thermic Motor" The new motive power
isthe vapor OF bisu!phide of carbon. 1t
has been in practical use in driving sixty
horse power engine Tor six months past in
c, ment paving msnufactory on West Forty
sixth street, New York. The discoverer OF
the means Of applying the new power
and the inventor CT machinery adapted to
its use, Is W. S Colwell, formerly OF Pitts.
Dursh, who, it is claimed, has been at work
for many years on the application OF the
same material from which the vapor is
generated. Bisulphide OF carbon is a dis
CUy,ry of the last century. The force and
power of the yspor in its application far
,urpasses that OF steam, and Its application
snd regulation is already under moe per
fecIly safe control than steam. The inven'
ton OF discovery consists in evolving bl-
sulphide of carbon into a vspor for operat
ing machinery by generating heat in gen
orator and transferring it into vessel
containing bisulphide OF carbon. The
atsnt heat OF steam is utilized to con.
vert the bisulpbide OF carbon into
va, O., only lis degrees being necessary to
produce this vapor. A prominent engineer
IF ChiCsgo, giving the result OF the exami-
nation Of the new motor, says: Il saw a
fifteen horse power boiler with very little
tire under it generating steam which gen.
Grated the new motor, which in turn rau
IN engine of sixty horse power. A syndi'
cate has been formed, which controls the
invention and all its patents, Of which
eight million dollars have already been
realized on stock. Elk Governor Hubbard,
of Texas, and ex.Collector Baird, Of Bos.
ton, ere mentioned as being largely inter.
sste6 in the new motor syndicate.

gaily together. Then there were q class of
witness who would be summoned to court,
not in any particular case, but to testify
generally. You see they had Q class of pro-
fessional witnesses. Besides, il was q good
plsce for the political strikers to meet, and
IS day and mileage was a right persuasive
corruption fund. But there is no use of
talking any more about these things.
Why These Frauds should
be shown you may want to know, since 1
say that these wrongs already committed
cannot be righted. why / am pursuing this
matter. Well these marshsls are the
Republican bosses In our State, and have
been very abusive Of our party. Atkinson
has hesn particularly ofiicious and often
Siye in his attacks on the administration of
Governor Jackson and the Democratic
party. He has abused US for stealing the
school fund, wasting the public money,
depressing the people with unjust taxa.
ton, and has offered his crowd a sort OF
haTbor of refuge for the oppressed to by to;
End want to show the people that these
fellows can't be trusted, that they have
been dishonest and oppressive in the exer-
else Of the power they have and would be
worse il they had more power.
Resides, this terrible criminal record
published annually from the Department
of Justice is doing our State incslculable
harm and preventing many people from
going there to invest money and live.
There is not q more industrious, law
abiding, patient and peaceable people In
the world than the West Virginia people,
and il is infamous to brand them as moon
sinners, counterfeiteTs, or violators OF the
revenue laws.
Now have taken some pains to be eI-
plicit, for the reason that young gentle
man interviewed me the other day and got
thirgs mixed up add did not report me
correctly. 1t might have been my fault as
much as his. But that will not occur
sgain.
MOOnshIniDg versus Figures.
"If you ask me about 'moonshing' the
records show that West Virginia has been
enc Of the cleanest States in the Union 10
thai mstter. Out Of total of ], 495 stills
se.2ed in 1879 so West Virginia had only II.
Out Of total number Of arrests for the
sane year Of 5, PSI, West Virginia had only
p. For so 81 out Of q total number OF stills
seized OF l,l2O, West Virginia had only IL
while of q total number of arrests for the
same time of ,265, West Virginia bad only
1. For Sl-S2 out of q total of $50 stills
seized, West Virginia had only T., and out
of a total of arrests Of 1910, West Virginia
had only ~. For $3.50 think there was
only one arrest and not q single seizure. So
you see that the charge Of Illicit disilting
and mOonshiniug is a gross fraud. Finslif,
| want to add another word and | want
that kept in mind, nearly all this devil
n eut has been carried on in what was one

NEW YORK, March John Stetson, the
noted theatrical manager, was sued to-day
for $40 900 by W. A. Rogers, millionaire
resident OF the Brooklyn heights. Stet-
sons play of Confusion" is now running
at the Brooklyn Park theater, and to ad-
yertise it the management circulated lot
of Autographed kilograms alleged to have
arrived over the wires OF the Confusion"
telegraph company, and reading:
"Come to town at once. Your baby is
worse"
This telegram is received during the &C.
ton OF the Ilay. A uniformed messenger
boy delivered one Of these kilograms at the
palatisl home of Mr.. Rogers, and it was
handed Mrs. Rogers, who is on the eve OF
bearing her second child. Several weeks
sgo her eldest child, girl aged years, was
attacked with scarlet fever, and was re-
moved TO the home of her aunt in this city
TO remain until after her mothers illness.
On reading the telegram Mrs. Rogers took
it to mean that her absent child was i'll,
aud she was at once thrown into mysteries,
Der servants finding her on the parlor
floor suffering terribly. The family physi.
clan wes called and found her in a critical
condition. Half an hour later Rogers re-
turned home ard he, too, was deceived
by the telegram, not noticing its apparent
bogus points, because tie blank was an
imitation of the Western Union blank and
the message Autographed from writing.
Reading the message a second time be
caught its true spirit and Immediately
placed the matter in the hands OF his law.
yer. Mrs. Rogers is in a semi comatose
state tonight, having taken no nourish.
ment since Tuesday, and it is probable
that the premature birth of her child will
be speedily followed by her death. Over
one hundred complaints have been N ade
about the bogus te egrsms, and the feeling
against such reckless advertising runs
high in Brooklyn. An order for the arrest
OF Mr.. Stetson has been issued, bat the
officers so far have been unable to find

NEW York, March The Herald to day
printed long interview with Editor Dana,
of the Sun, in the course of which the fol-
lowing appears:
"Will the Rspublcal ticket, when nomi-
n. It'd, serve In any way as Guide or warn.
ing to the Democrats
"No; don't think the Republican ticket
will make much difference. OF course, if
1t is weak, the Democrats will have more
confdence, but they are bound to do their
level best anyway"
"Who is the strong Republican,"
81 suppose the strongest Republican is
Edmunds, and next to him Arthur. You
see, the question is, who can carry New
York;"
DO you agree with the general belief
that Blaine is a candidate?r
"0f course Blaine will be glad TO have
the nomination, but experience has taught
him that IL cannot be got by much effort.
II it should come to him, however, he
would not refuse"
'Do you believe the bloody shirt, as an
anti Southern type, is still potential?'
Eyes, the bloody shirt g still a force,
especially in the strong Republican states
The sight of it warns up the ardor OF the
old anti.slavery element"
IF il is potential in the East. won't its
opposing sentiment be arousable in the
SouihT'
THE South is solid for the Democracy at
any rate, and the waving of the bloody
shirt in the North will make no percepti.
bic difference in the vote of any Southern
State"
DO you oppose Tilden's nomination,
and, il so, why?'
No, do not oppose it. have never OPP
posed it. have said that he would not
take it, but it is surprising how the people
in all parts Of the country are insisting
upon the old ticket. This feeling has been
much strengthened by the runpus about
the tariff. Everybody feels that il Mr.. Til
den could be nominated the tariff business
would be pushed by such nomination
into the obscurity proper to theoretical alb
stractions. AS the case now stands moth
ing seems to me more probable than that
the Democratic Convention will nominate
Mr.. Tilden and wait for his reply before
proceeding any further"
sWhere will be the battle ground"

TRENTON, March l. The Republican
State Executive Committee fixed upon

Committee were thus compelled to issue to-
day a new call in which April II is set as
the day for the Convention.

Democratic State Committee transacted
some routine business, but did not fix the

convicted in the Federal court here last
winter was sentenced by Judge Jackson to-
day to eighteen months in the Moundsville
penitentiary. Yeater, though seventy
years old is hale and hearty man and
seemed but little affected when sentence
was pronounced on him. The cour
thought it remarkable that man
who had reached the age OF the prisoner
should engsge in such a business. The
judges remarks to the prisoner before pass
ing sentence were OF touching nature,
and while it was an unpleasant duty he
had to perform, and which would separate
the accUGed from the loved ones at home,
the judge expressed hopes that the prison
er would live to emerge from prison aud

circumstances the sentence was made light
