Creating Tremendous Pressure.

Scientific American: Several news
papers have referred to a new invent.
ion by one William Timmis, which. il
successful, will reyolutionize motive
power. The inventor is an unpreten-
tious English mechanic, residing in
Pittsburg, Pa, who claims TO have in
vented a machine by which untold
motive power can be stored or used
without the expenditure of fuel. The
story goes that he has been engaged for
years in perfecting the invention, and
is now negotiating with the govern
ments of Englnnd, Russia and the
United States for the sale OF the right to
inatiOn it proves TO be what he claims
will reyOlutionize the motive power of
the world. lie claims to be able TO
create a pressure of 10000 pounds per
square inch, more than sufficient to
propel the largest ocean steamer afloat,
or TO move eighty laden freight airs in
one train.
The machine seems to be simply an
mir compressor of the simplest sort. II
consists of one small cylinder (six horse
power), with q balance weight of
seyenty-fivo pounds, which runs the
entire apparatus, another small cylinder
five inches diameter, with seven inches
stroke, congresses the air into a tank
from which the power is utilized.
Under the piston plate the inventor has
placed two layers Of bars containing
eleven different minerals, the magnetic
influence of which is the secret OF the
invention. The advantages he claims
are durability, economy and simplicity.
Experts have examined the machine
and pronounce it a success.
Iu submitting his design to the gov
ernments named, Mr.. Timmis claims
that the pneumatic generator can not
only be applied to war vessels as a mo-
tor, but can be used as a defense
against hostile attack by means of air
chambers placed behind the armor
plating.

A SCHOONER SINKS.
Loss of the ssSalIie c. Norton O1
Millville. in Cape May
Channel.

CAPE MAY. Oct 21st.-The two-mas-
ted schooner ''Sallie G. Morton" of
Millville, Captain Thomas Shaw, with
a crew of five, bound from Millville to
New York, with glass sand, sank in
the Cape May Channel in three fathoms
of water on Sunday morning. The
vessel left Millville Saturday morning
at II o'clock, and when she had reached
Town Bank Sunday morning there was
no water in her, but at s As a. m. when
just outside the Capes, she had sprung
a leak. Within five minutes the hull
was below the water and the crew
struggling in the rigging. There was
not even time to detatch the yawl
from the davits. Captain James Ed
ridge, of Life-s saving Sation Crew No.
40, discovered the distressed vessel,
and within twenty-five minutes his
men had taken the sailors off. They
are now in the care of the Governments
crew at Cape May Point. The schooner
was built in 1868, carried about 150
tons and was worth about $4,000. 1t
was owned by Charles Swing and Peter
Brick, of Millville. The wreck is in
the main Cape May Channel, and is a
danger to passing vessels.

CedarviIle Republicans.

The Republicans of Cedarville were
out on last Saturday night with
torches and banners, and made things
lively by parading through the princi-
|pal streets. The paraders met the
carriage which brought Hon. G
"A. Bergen, Hon. Isaac T. Mic
hols, and Candidates T. w. Trench
ard and Samuel P. Fithian, and thev
were escorted to the Hall, which was
packed by an enthusiastic audience.
Hon. G. A. Bergen was the first
Sneaker, and he made a pleasing and
sensible address, and was followed by
Mr.. Trenchard, who worked the audi
elce up to considerable enthusiasm.
H>n l. T. Nichols was next intro
duced, and for an hour and a half,
hdd the attention of his audience.
HIS speech was one of the most pro.
n'unced. and argumentive ever deliv-
eled there, and he was often cheered
to the echo. Samuel P. Fithian closed
the meeting with neat address.

CIDER MUST GO.
Declared by a United States Court
to be an EntOxfcant.

The United States Circuit Court in
Arkansas has rendered an elaborate
opinion, that cider is an alcoholic
beverage, obtained by the fermenta-
tion of the juice of apples and holds
that 1t cannot lawfully be sold in a
State whose statutes prohibit the
sale of ''alcohol or any spirituous, ar
dent, vinous, malt or fernented
liquors."
The percentage of alcohol in cider,
the Court explains, ranges from five to
ten per cent, which is considerably
larger than the percentage in most ale
and beer and some wines. 1T is not
questioned that ale. porter, stout.
lager beer, &c, are within the statutes
OF the State regulating the liquor traf-
fic, and why should ali alcoholic, vim
Gus or ferlnented liquor containing
more alcohol than any of these bever-
ages be exempt? 1t is not It is within
the very letter of the statute" Judge
Caldwell then adds
Cider is also an intoxicating liquor,
for it is common knowledge that fer
mented beverage which contains from
five to ten per cent of alcohol, which
is freely drunk by the glassful, will
produce intoXication. This is fact
Of daily observation in communities
where such beverages are sold.
Whiskey contains from forty to fifty
per cent of alcohol, and cider contains
one-fifth as much alcohol as whiskey,
so that drinking a pint OF cider is
equivalent TO drinking one-fifth of a
pint of whiskey. But to bring it under
the operation of the liquor laws of
the State it is not essential that it
shonld be an intoxicating liquor"
The Court remarks that sweet
cider" and hard cider are popular
terms to distinguished between the
juice OF the apple before and after
fermentation. But in strictness, the
former is simply apple juice, and it is
only by fermentation that it becomes
cider, and when the word cider alone
is used in law or commerce it is com
monty understood to mean the fer
mented Juice of apples, or hard CIDER

BRIDGEToN, N j. THURSDAY OCTOBER 25 1885,

In politics, he was originally Whig,
having cast his first vote Gin 1S40) for
President Harrison. Passing through
the transition stages of the American
party, (by which John 7. Nixon was
elected to Congress in 1859, in 1860 he
became Republican, and was one OF
the electors elected on the Republican
ticket, and cast one of the votes of
New Jersey for Abraham Lincoln He
recently expressed to the writer his
deep regret that he should not live to
cast his ballot for the grandson of
Tippecanoe.
Several years ago, and when there
was fair prospect for success at the
polls, he was earnestly solicited to be-
come the Republican candidate for
Governor of New Jersey, his sterling
character and wide spread popularity
making him, in the Judgment of his
party, the most available candidate;
but, fearing the excitement of the
campaign and the cares of Office, ne
declined to be candidate. He was
elected, by the unanimous vote of his
ward, member of the City Council of
Bridgeton, and at the end of his term
reelected, unanimously. At the con-
clusion of his second term, he declined
re-nomination-a compliment from his
fellow. citizens which few could de-
serve, and no other, probably, could
obtain.
During his early manhood, his
health was not good, but as he ad-
vanced in years, his system seemed to
shake off its earlier weakness, and
acquire strength, so that he was free
from illness until the attack which
seized him early in last May, and from
which lie never rallied. From the
first stroke, he resigned himself to the
inevitable, and quietly, peacefully,
and painlessly, through the long
weeks, the tide of life very slowly, but
surely, ebbed away. The warm friend,
the kind husband and father, the
handsome, genial gentleman, has gone
from among us. The ending of the
old life and the beginning of the new
were marked by no convulsion.

Which goes not down the darkened West,
Nor hides obscured amid the tempests of the

But melts away into the light of Heavenr'

A Lying Circular.

Campaign lies are the meanest lies
that can be told, for they are expressed
for the sole purpose of deceiving men,
and robbing them of their votes The
Democrats are just now distributing
in this city, circulars upon which is
printed the matter that appeared in
the New York Post, concern the manu-
factories of Bridgeton, which was fully
shown to be base libel in these col
umns but short time since. No party
can make anything by this way of do
ing business, for our workingmen are
intelligent, and you cannot but insult
them by assuming they cannot under
stand such a nonsensical and lying
article as that.

A party of surveyors is reported TO
be engaged running a line from the
New Jersey Southern Railroad south
ward from near Winslow to Cape MAY,
for railroad TO be built in the inter-
est of the New Jersey Central and the
Reading. The new road, it is said, is
to be built by the Jersey Central and
owned by it, and an effort will be
made to interest New York people in
Cape May as Il summer resort. At
present, there is no direct route from
New York 30 Cape May, and all travel
ers are compelled to go to Camden
and change cars on the West Jersey.
By building the thirty-fve miles of
track road the Jersey Central would
secure Il through line and through

Contemplate Living.

The Democratic Ne,os on Saturday,
said that if the Legislature of New
Jersey was Republican next Winter,
hat there was imminent danger of q
law being enacted which would dis
franchise a man if he was not the pos
SCISSOR of fixed value of property.
The entire article originated in the
imaginative brain of the editor, and is
only being used to make votes for De-
mocracy, When the Democratic leaders
are obliged to stoop so low as this to
get handful of floating votes they
must indeed be in straits.

TRICKERY EXPOSED.
A Democratic Edition DisclOses
the Facts.

The most destructive bomb that has
been dropped into the Democratic
camp of this State, comes from the.
editor of the Warren Democrat, the
organ of the better element of the
Democratic party in Warren county.
Its charge of the corruption and mis-
management of the party is so strong
ly put that it has caused profound
sensation throughout the State. 1t is
double-leaded editorial full Of sting.
1t starts out by saying that 1.-THE cleo
tion of United States Senator from
New Jersey, is matter of great mo.
ment, ,and demands the Immediate con-
sideration of every we'll wisher of the
party. If we are to succeed in electing
one, no time must be lost in correcting
the errors of the past and in placing
our party in a position making it pos
sible to do so. Our danger is the prob
able loss of the Legislature from the eff
fects OF the liquor question. the un-
fortunate position the party has been
placed in regard to it and the con
sequence of the manner in which the
legislative canvass is being managed
by those having the principal charge
of it.''
The editorial then treats of the at
tempt made some years ago by the sim
cere Democrats to secure reasonable
high license law by which the liquor
traffic would be properly controlled.
Their councils were repelled and those
advocating it were spurned and
scoffed. The party accepted Leon Alb
bett as their leader and s'took rum to
its breast" The party was subse-
quently recruited by men Of a charac-
ter not calculated to strengthen the
party. The reaction came, and many,
q our party's BEST, brightest --and
truest men have sickened and have
gradually been associating themselves
with and voting for the candidates of
the temperance party. The revulsion
came last Fall when the Republicans
secured majority of the Legislature
and they passed the High License and
Local Option law. In Essex County
last Fall the Democratic State Senator,
although backed by the liquor interest,
was badly beaten. The Democrats
last Winter made the liquor question
a party caucus measure and voted
solid against high license, and in spite
of the protests of the better element of
the party, permitted rum to grasp the
party by the throat"
The editorial closes with a bitter
criticism of Ex-Governor Leon Abbett's
methods.

Running Lines.

The Pennsylvania R. r. (West Jer-
sy) are running lines along the beach,
2uth of Sea Isle City to Cape May,
With a view of making this their main
inc OF 4. r., and securing the advan-
iages OF the seaside travel both for
the present and the future. The old
inc of railroad south of Junction will
pc used principally for freight and
way trains. The road will be worked
at Sea Isle City as centre, to run
trains both in direction of Cape May
and Ocean City. This will be a great
advantage to Sea Isle, in giving it
prominence and business.
