KEELY's MOTOR.
A New Statement that 1t was Once
Made in Newark.

A New York paper publishes n
statement made by man named Ba
ker, who represents that he has been
for two years in the employ of the
Keely Motor company, and that he
was also in the employ OF New York
capitalists who desired to know the
inner workings OF. the machine. He
denounces Kelly as fraud, and SAYS
that his motor is not what 1t is repre-
sented to be, He promises TO write a
book for the information of the public
on this subject.
He adds that the machine is the re
suit Of an idea given to him as long
ago ss 1867, by Or. G. A. Prindham.
In Newark, n j and Keely he SAYS,
captured it by haunting the shOps OF
Messrs. Gould ~ Eberhardt in New
ark, when the thing was being expert
mented with.
Mr.. EberhaTdt Of the Newark firm
said yesterday 10 3 Press reporter /:
''lts long time ago, but | remember
the circumstances distinctly. DR..
Fdndham came in our shop IN New
ark one day in 1867, with tall. lean
Yankee who, lac said, had Invented a
machine which would revolu-
tioniza the engine making
OF the world. The Yankee
had no money and Prindham was 90.

the two engines are Identical. can
recall that one part OF the machinery
called for powerful screw OF chilled
steel that WAS found considerable trou.

Baker they speak OF Is very likely
Becker, a German we had In Newark
at the time. DR.. Prindham told tue
that all he needed to do was to put In
y quart or so of cold water aud the
thing would go and be as powerful as
a Corliss engine, while only occupying
one hundredth part OF the space and
coating only few hundred dollars.

big cylinder, like the description Of
Keely's machine, and had small en-
gine attached to 1t. He used to put
some cyanid- Of potassium, in order to
make IL swell, into one of the pipes.
The cOntrivance would go for a short
time, and then it would stop. Some
thing would be declared out Of order,
and the doct r would have to shell out
again.
FINALLY DIR. Prindham gave it up
In despair. 1t must have cost him at
least $1,000.
"Keely was in the Newark works
for TIVE years. | am almost positive
he worked in the shop for us, but as
we employ 100 men it ia hard to keep
the track of them. He certainly was
in Ne vark. l do not remember the
Yankees name.p
Mr.. Eberhardt stated that in his
opinion, after DIR. Pindham became
disgusted the Yankee and Kelly came
to an understanding, the outgrOWth OF
which was the Kelly motor.
MIR. Keely denies all this, and says
that no such man as Baker was ever
in the employ OF the company. He
claims that Bakers statements are
without foundation, and that his de-
scri ption of the motor displays such
gross Ignorance of what il really looks
like that he is necessarily q fraud.

Chicago Herald.


In his championship of high pro-
tective tariff Mr.. Blaine, who re-
ceived majority of eighty ODD
thousand votes In Pennsylvania, ven
tured South only as far as West Vir-
glnia, aud did not tarry there but a
day. The Pennsylvania idea would
hardly have an efficient advocate 10
MIR. Blaine south of Mason and Dix
On's liue, because he had habitually
placed himself in antagnnism to that
section. But Mr.. Randall taktsup the
banner Of protection where Mr.. Blaine
threw II down, and, more &C aeptable
personally to the people of the South,
nears IL ostentatiOusly among them.
The Pennsylvania pig-iron aud anthra-
cite barons gave Blaine a majority of
eighty thousand. They would be
glad, no doubt, to give Rand Ill ma.
lority OF a hundred thousand.
But Pennsl lvania fails to catch the
nearest way TO the full accomplish
ment OF its desires Wishing to pro.
tect itself against the pauper labor and
the bigher-grade ore OF Alabama, why
should IL not erect q barrier around
the state and thus assure, in part at

The French MurdCress on Trial.
PARIS, Jan. S.--The trial Of Madame
Clovis Hughes, for the murder of her
traduCer, Private Detective Morrin,
opened this morning at the court of
sssiles The court room was crowded
to overlooking. Many diplomats and
other persons OF distinction were pres
emit. During the reading of the in
dictment Madame Clovis Hughes
seemed greatly affected, but she re.
piled IN u firm tone TO the questions.
She admitted that the shooting was
premeditated and declared that ever
since May o. she had been resolved to
kill her traducer. Interrogations as
regards the facts lending to the shoot
ing developed nothing new.
Later in the examination, Nine.
Clovis Hughes declared that she
offered NJ. Morrin To apply for the re-
mission OF his sentence, If he would
retruct the calumnies he circulated
about her. To this offer NJ. Morrin
only returned Hn insulting reply.
In concluding her statement she
said; III you believe me guilty, con-
denim me; II you can understand the
moral tortures have endured, acquit
me y
These words were uttered In a firm,
energetic tone. She appeared to make
favorable impression on the Jury.
In reply toR remark by one OF the
judges that the murder was unjustifia-
bile, especially after fifteen months
generalization, she said: you would
not reason 80 coolly II you suffered as
have, y and the prisoner proceeded TO
unfold the unTemitting and atrocious
character Of the persecution TO which
she had been subjected During her
narrative she became very much ex-
cited.
The trial Of Mime. Hughes for the
killing OF NJ. Morriu eXcites the great

places produced such commotion to.
day that the Judge threatened to clear
