The Keely Motor.

Mr.. Kccly, Of Keely motor fame, has
made q step forward in illustrating his
long pent-up vaporic force. With the per-
mission of the War Department he has
made an experiment with his INFECTIOUS
force in firing off small cannon four feet
long with an iron breech and brass muz-
zle, in the presence of army officers at the
government rifle range, Sandy Hook, oil
New York, and the fact is conceded that
the new force claimed to have been dis
covered by him will propel ball consid-
cradle distance. The liquid used in the
experiment was, according to the pub
lished accounts, five drops of prepared
water. With this infinitesimal quantity
of water he generated the force, which lie
stored in two steel cylinders. He took to
Sandy Hook the cylinders and the cannon
with which the experiment was made.
He had the cannon loaded, and attaching
a hollow wire, scarcely thicker than a
hair, to the gun rs it stool on the gum
carriage and to the cylinder ut his foot,
he turned little valve with wrench
and let on his unknown force. The bullet
hit the target fifteen hundred feet distant.
There was a slight report, streak of
blush yapors, but no smoke, and scarcely
any rccoil Three shots were made ut the
target in succession. One bullet went
four hundred and eighty-twO feet per Sec
ond, another four hundred and ninety
two, and the third FIVE hundred ana twen-
ty-threc. The velocity, therefore, was by
official measurement from third 10 two
fifths that of bali fired from SPRING
field rifle, but the penetrating power APP
pears TO be great, as the last shot went five
inches into heavy spruce planks placed
about twenty feet from the gun. Many
of the Keely motor stockholders were
present and were delighted. They were
delighted still more when Mr.. Keely said
the motor would be finished by the end Of
the year, and predicted that it would ac-
complish more wonders. That there is
an enormous force locked up in certain
compounds, Is well known to chemists
and scientific men. The difficulty is not
to generate such force, but to control it,.
This Mr.. Keely processes to have done,
but after all his years of experiment and
failure, the world naturally will be slow
to believe in his success until he gives a
more convincing proof than in his expert
ment OH Saturday.

His Campaign Ended.

About ten o'clock Tuesday night the
telegraph operator in the Times editorial
room was receiving over our special wires
the United Press report of the opening Of
the Republican campaign at Burlington,
Vt. Among the other papers in TIE same
circLit receiving messages simultaneously
by the same wire was the Petersburg In
der-AppeQl. The message licked out ut a
slow and steady pace, which seemed to
add dignity TO the names of the prominent
orators present. The operator in the In
der-Appeal office had said to the sending
operator in New York at the beginning:
"Not feeling very well tO-night-been
splitting blood-take it easy"
New York was sending slowly:
The exercises were held in the City
Hall, which was densely crowded. Adj
dresses were made by Congressman Horr,
of Michigan; Stewart, Of Vermont, and
Frost, of Maine. Senator EdmundS pre-
sided. The following is II verbatim report
of his address:
Suddenly from the hder- Appeal: ok
Bk-Bk-," and left his key open, inter-
rupting the message. New York had to
stop sending. Washington cut the repeat
ers and the Offices gossiped with each
other over the wire, exchanging guesses
as TO what was the matter with Peters
burg. Ten minutes passed. They began
to call Petersburg hard names. Fifteen
minutes. New York was getting impa-
tent and was just about to cut Petersburg
out and continue the report TO the other
papers when the interrupting key was
suddenly closed. Washington put the re-
peatcr through and then this from the In
der-Appeal:
"Cummins, regular press operator. just
died. IIemorrhage. Pm his sub. Go
ahead address,"
And Senator Edmunds' speech went on,
while the body of Ned Cummins, the great
campaign ended for him, was carried out.

The Department Of Agriculture at
Washington has some valuable informa-
ton about the condition of crops abroad
valuable, but not very agreeable to the
crop-raiser here who has grain to sell. 1t
shows that Europe has, on the whole,
better crops this year than in many years
previous, and that already prices are even
lower there than they were last year. In
England the crop has been harvested in
exceptionally good condition; so much SO
that the depar tment report says that the
season has been marked with red letter,
and hailed as a combination Of the theory
which the last few years seemed to have
established, that the British climate was
gradually but surely turning colder and
wetter. Good English wheat, it says, is
now selling at $l.l0 per bushel, and with
no prospect of an advance in prices. In
both Northern and Southern Germany
the crop is shown to be considerably bet
ter than last year. Austria is likely not
only to have enough wheat for her own
use, but nearly twelve million bushels to
sell. In Russia the crop reports are an
nounced rs generally favorable, but
slightly under the average. In France
the wheat crop is some five million hecto-
liters greater than last year, and the
prices since it was assured have fallen five
cents per bushel. In India the crop is re-
ported good, and the prospects are that
the surplus for export this year may reach
fifty million bushels. In Australia the
weld of wheat is some thirteen million
bushels more than last year, the increase
in acreage being very large. In Canada,
too, the universal prosperity of the bread
stuff production is felt, the wheat crop
being ten million bushels better than last
year. Thus, in nearly all the wheat-pro-
ducing countries of the wOrld-England,
France, Germany, Austria, Canada, and
The United States as well-the wheat crop
is unusually large and of excellent quail
ity, while the season starts in with prices
phenomenally low and the supply from
last year by no means exhausted.

Hi. Crime Found Him Ont.

In the spring of 1871 there appeared in
johnson county, Texas, man named
Berry Williams. He was Joined shortly
afterwards by his wife and two infant
children. The man seemed to avoid ref
erence to his past life, and there appeared
to be some mystery as to the place Of his
previous residence. lie, however, lived
such an upright life that the mystery OF
his first appearance was soon forgotten,
and he came to be ranked as one Of the
best men in the county. a year later his
wife was seized with fever and died,
leaving Williams alone with his orphans.
lie made suit to one of the most cultivated
young ladies of the county, who, not
withstanding some objections from her
family, subsequently became his wife.
His new relations spurred Williams TO
greater cXertions than ever. He added
to his acres and his stock multiplied. He
erected fine house, and, in fact, his
worldly affairs were thoroughly prosper
Gus. With his increase Of means he
proved himself to be public spirited. He
was made chairman of the county school
commissioners, and was noted for his pro-
gressive tendencies. His family circle
increased by the addition Of six rosy
checked children, and was one of the most
pleasant in the county.
Two months, ago, however, marked
change came over him, which change Was
caused in some way by the advent of 4
stranger from Georgia. Later visit was
paid to the executive office by Sheriff Fos-
ter, of Epson county, Georgia. He pro-
cceded thence to the residence Of Mr..
Williams, in johnson county. Mrs. Will
liams welcomed the stranger, not know
ing his sad GRAND, and she was dumb
founded when her husband came in, and,
seeing the stranger, struck his hand to his
forehead and exclaimed: SIS there no
mercy in this world" The wife and
children clung around the knees of the
husband and father and begged to know
what was the matter. With streaming
ewes Williams turned 10 his wife and told
her the story of his life. He had served
faithfully in the Confederate army during
the whole term of the war. He came out
of it with disSipated habits. One night
in the winter of 1870, at mill in Epson
county, Georgia, he had fight with a
relative named Calvin. They were both
severely wounded. Calvin died and Will
lams was lodged in Jail to answer the
charge of murder. Aided by friends, he
escaped, and for thirteen years in the
home of his adoption he had cndcavored
to live down the memory of his crime. In
an evil hour for him an adyenturer from
Georgia, who knew the story Of his life,
made his appearance, and thus Williams
whereabouts became known.
The story of the arrest created UNI
bounded excitement in the county. There
were people who favored forcible re-
sstance to the act of the Georgia sheriff.
The parting scene between Williams and
his family was very affecting. The citi-
zcns have held meeting ut which petit
ton was gotten up to Governor Mcdaniel
of Georgia asking him to pardon Williams.
The petition will be carried to Georgia by
prominent attorney.

A Baby Starving in the w Gods.

The villagers of Leesburg, in Virginia,
are much excited over the inhuman con-
duct of Il man aid wife, in burying alive
their two months-old child and leaving it
to die of hunger and exposure. The dis
covery Of the baby, after it had been ell
tombed apparently for several days, pre-
vented the accomplishment OF the parents
purpose. The discovery was made by
Joshua Lynn, a farmer, who, willie clear
ing briars away from portion of field,
heard the failt cries Of Il child from bit
of woods close ut hand. He proceeded TO
the spot, aud in rocky piece of ground,
found the child entombed in cavity Of
the rock. \ bed of leaves had been made
in hole between two large stones, and
rocks had been piled around it in such
manner as to cover the child without
touching it. The entire pile was covered
with leaves. The child was fearfully ema-
ciated from want of nourisliment, and
will die. Footprints of a man and woman
were seen near the grave.

Miss Sadie Robinson, the pretty twelve
year-od daughter of wealthy lady of
birmingham, Mass, caught the clipping
craze last Friday. She had been reading
about the Morosini elopement, and decided
to start Il frst-class sensation and figure
as the heroine. For some time she had
been in love with Il Boston youth. On
Friday morning early she went to strong
box i'm her mothers room and took from 1t
$4,000 in bank bills; three 81 900 United
States bonds, 81 900 worth Of diamonds,
and $50, 900 worth of railroad stock. She
packed the valuablcs i'm valiSe, and when
she started for school at Boston that morn
ing she took her stolen fortune along with
her. Soon after she had left home her
mother discovered the loss. At first she
did not suspect her daughter, but when
she learned that Sadie had been seen by
the servants leaving the house with the
valise her suspicious were aroused. The
Boston police authorities were notified.
When no tidings were received Of Sadie's
whereabouts Friday night her mother was
nearly frantic. The youthful eloper was
captured i'm Boston Saturday, though the
young man on whom she was going to
confer her hand and her mothers stocks
and diamonds could not be found. She
refused to tell his name, and declared she
loved him and would marry him the first
chance she got. She ut first denied that
she had taken her mothers valuables, but
finally confessed. The yalise and all its
contents were recovered in drug store
where Sadie had left it, promising to call
for it. She told 4 strange story to the de-
tective of having first given the valise to
woman in Boston, who had promised to
be her friend. She then, it appears, became
frightened, got the valise back and placed
it in care of the druggist. The affair was
kept very quiet by the authorities. Sadie
is bright, intelligent girl, and her mother
idolizes her. She was returned to her
home Saturday.
