THE KEELY MOTOR HUMBUG
EXPOSED.

A short Tins since story was circuIat-
ed that one of Keely's most trusted
workmen, but who was in reality spy
in the employ OF capitalist had been
letting out Keely's secret The story
which this man is said to have told con-
firms the popular estimate which was
long ago formed Of the so-caIled motor.
1t proves to he a cunningly-devised
apparatus With which confiding people,
supplied with more means than scientific
knowledge could be humbugged. The
story which has thus been circulated,
whether authentic or not, is interesting
and seems plausible on tho face of Is. It
is as follows: The motor proper consists
of a heavy outside covering of metal,
shaped to deceive the spectator in every
way he may look, as if the machine
consisted Of large, massive iron cylinder
with valves, wheels and outside pipes.
These are supposed to assist in the gen
Grafton of the famous new force, when,
in fact, the outside shape has little to do
with the working parts. Those parts are
inside. The force il pure and simple
air, the least bit tainted with chemical
to deceive, as everything else is made to
do. The air is pumped from Z to 81 steel
tubes OH the inside of the she'll The
tubes are of sufficient strength to with~
stand a pressure of from 10,000lto 10000
pounds. There is mechanism inside the
shell that permits the compressed air to
pass from one chamber or cylinder at
time into distinct and separate cylinder
which contains the piston that operates
| the fywheel of the machine. By this
method the machine can be kept running
FIVE minutes, or perhaps longer, and vet
show very little change On the pressure.
gauge The plan is to allow only u of
the air to escape from one cylinder, and
then that one is disconnected, and SO on
until all but one cylinder has been used
to that extent, when the machine is
stopped and a great show is made, as, of
course, the Indicated pressure IS exactly
the same as it was before the wheel VIZ mt
around. Not drop of water is used at
any time. The water story is all bosh.
IF this story proves true it explodes the
| Keely swindle and leaves clear way for
the next aspirant for the honor of gull
ing no inconsiderable portion of the pub.

perience which occurred to him two days
ago while walking in the direction of his

dentally stepped on the mouth of an
abandoned shaft, which was hidden by
the snow, He fell distance of thirty
five feet. There was also a few feet of
snow at the bottom, so that his fall did
not injure him badly. He yelled for
hours for assistance, but none came. He
passed the night-one of the coolest of
the season there, and at daybreak re-
sumed the cries. During the morning
some woodchoppers a considerable dis.
tance away heard him, but unable to 10.
cate the source of the sound were unable
to discover him. He passed the second
night in that same position with the same
results, except that he was weak from
hunger and cold. The next day the
woodchoppers returned and fortunately
passed near the shaft, being thus directed
to the source OF the cries. They discoy-
cred him and at once placed ladders into
the mice and rescued him. He is again
in good health and spirits.

A STEAMER SUNK
BY Running Into an Obstacle Near Her
Landing-tDne Man Drowned.
PARKERsBURG, w. Va, Nov. 81.

PARKERsBURG, w. Va, Nov. 81.
Steamer Emma Graham, which left Pitts
burg Wednesday evening last, bound to Gin
cinnati, with numerous passengers on board,
sunk in the Ohio river at Ripley landing,
near here, at 9 o'clock last night. When
swinging into the landing the Graham struck
a large barge filled with slaves. The barge
was tied to the landing with no danger sig
nails displayed.
The steamer struck her on the starboard
side with terrible force, overturning every
thing on board. The barge was torn loose
and floated off down stream The officers of
the Graham not knowing the extent of the
injuries to their boat made an effort to catch
the barge, but the Graham began to sink.
The captain then tried to beach the steamer.
but her hold filled with water so rapidly that
he found it impossible to do so and she sunk
in mid channel in 20 feet of water. All was
now excitement on board. Women and chill
dren shriekng, rushed frantically about.
The men were greatly excited In their efforts
TO save their families and themselves. Capt.
Cooper and Clerk Slavin stood manfully at
their posts and it was by their coo-headedness
and bravery that fearful loss of life was pre-
vented, as many in the excitement were about
to Jump in the icy cold stream. Several of
the deck hands and deck passengers were
swept overheard into the swift running water.
The fireman and second mate Pendleton
caught the stage plank and clung to it until
fireman Cooper climbed upon one end when
it turned over, throwing its four occupants
again into the river. Their heartrending
cries for help attracted the attention of par
ties on shore, who put off in skiff and res
cued three of them. Fireman Cooper uttered
loud crv, ssFor Gods sake save me- and
sank to the bottom.
After an hours hard work all who were
alive were taken to the neigboring houses
where all that was possible was done for
their comfort. Fireman Cooper is as yet the
only one positively known to be lost, but 1t is
supposed that several more OF the deck hands
met with similar fate, as they are still mss
;ny. All of the passengers were brought to
ParkersburQ on this mornings boat.

ATEMPERANCE VICTORY.
Great Enthusiasm Among the Georgia
PrOhibitiOnists.

! ATLANTA, Ga, Nov. %.
! When it was announced Wednesday night
tkM this county had defeated license by 240
majority, the enthusiasm of the prohibition
lists was unbonnded. The city was in state
of the widest excitement, the prohibitionists
paradng the streets by thousands, and torch
es and bonfres lighted the heavens. This is
not, however, the end of the prohibition fight.
The friends of prohibition declare that not
until the State is absolutely prohibition ter
ritory, will the fight be stopped. Already in
structions have been sent out to leaders in
county to see that all candidates for the State
legislature, for Governor, for Congress and
ali other offices should be pledged to pro-
hibition. This pushing of the prohibition
question into active politics of the State has
created unbounded excitement in all sections.
The friends of prohibition openly declare
their purpose of only standing by the demo-
craes in so far - the party nominates friends of
prohibition. Cheers for prohibition are heard
on all si les. If an election we're to take
place this week the State would vote in favor
