Mention was before made of the
patent granted Messrs. Carnes and KEEL
Ter for an electric moter. Mr.. Carnes is
the telegraph operator at the Fl. Wayne
junction and Mr.. Keller is the Main
street grocer. They have been working
on 1t since 1880. The application for a
patent was made by a New York law
yer in 1881; but through the alleged
dishonesty of the lawyers clerk at first
and red tape in the department after
wards the matter was delayed and a
patent not granted until a few weeks
ago. The motor can be made of any
power desired and run by a battery
OF from a central station. The latter
idea Is entertained by the inventors.
They think of establishing a central
station where the electricity can be
made by induction and transmitted to
the different motors which may be used
in the city. A great advantage of this
motor is that it has no dead center. MIR.
Carnes says that at the time their APP
plication for a patent was made no
other electric motors had been patented
although a number of them have since
been brought out. He says it is the best
motor in existence, and IN the end will
not cost more than steam power, be-
sides being neater and safer. The firm
also has an improved battery and cleo
trio fire alarm for which applications
for patents will be made.
During the silent hours of last night
there was a trial going on in the Mayors
court room. Some time ago a girl by

charge OF bastardy against John Hud-
son, well known here. Hudson skipped

for him. So now tbs gentleman can
again confer on our town the benefits
of his presence.
Jimmy McVeagh is still in the city
prison on account Of insulting a lady,
and the authorities are at a loss to
know what to do with him. He is
thought by many to be half-witted and
fit for a lunatic asylum. 1t is certain,
however, that he will not be permitted
to hang around here any longer.
