KEELY JAI.Ep.

The Great Motor Man Called Up for Con-
tempt of Court-He Refuses to Betray His
Secret.
PHILADELPHIA, Nov. lS.-There was
an interesting scene in court yesterday
when Judge Finletter decided that In
ventor John W. Keely, OF Keely motor
celebrity, should go to.prison and stay
there until he had purged himself OF the
contempt committed in not obeying the
order OF the court, which required him
to clearly explain to committee OF ex-
perts the workings OF his machine. Mr..
koely endeavored to purge himself OF
contempt, saying:
81 desire to state most emphatically,
whatever may have been the construc-
ton put upon my actions or the conclus-
ion arrived at by the Court, that have
had no intention to violate or disobey
its orders, and am wholly unconscious
OF having in any particular, in word or
in deed, said or done that which can
properly be construed as violation of
the process OF the court. l have done
everything in my power to comply with
the order OF the court, and that, too, in
face OF the fact, which ! could not for
moment forget, that one OF the experts,
Prof. Marks, has denounced me and my
invention for years, and manifested his
hostility to me upon the occasion OF the
first visit OF the experts to my shop, and
subsequently, as am told, and believe.
at a full meeting Of the experts, pre-
nounced my invention to be a swindle
and myself to be swindler.
"In face OF the further fact that DR..
Cresson has, US / have been informed,
during period OF four also, but in a
more qualified manner, derided my in-
yention, and the truth has been made TO
appear by recent statements made by
Prof. Marks in the public press, in which
he asserts that my invention is a swindle.
II may well be assumed by the court l
think, and am entitled, think, to the
benefit OF the assumption, thatmen who
enter upon the duty OF the jurors enter
tanning such views about myself and the
subject matter involved would distort, il
they could, to my disadvantage and in'
iury, underall circumstances where they
could possibly do so. In other words,
| believe that no report should be ex'
pected by the court which would be fair
and lust to me in the writing OF which
DR.. CFesson and Prof. Marks were CON
cerned, aud in this instance, as / am in
formed, both Of tue reports were written
by DIR. CEessop.
Judge Finletter, at the conclusion O
Mr.. Keely's remarks, ut once committee
him to Moyamesing prison, holding thai
he had not purged himself OF the con
tempt. The inventor was driven to The
iailin a carriage, and is now confined II
4 cell ON the third floor. He said aftel
reaching the prison: "Well, l must ad
nit that 1t was surprise 10 me, although
| I've been taught to expect most any
thing. Time, hewSver, will right it all
| All will be explained, and people viii
see wherein I've been wronged." Kell!
will remain in Jail until be has purget
himself OF contempt,

A HUGE JOKG, INDEED!

Convicted Chicago Boodlers May Now Go
Scott Freo-Evsn AIcGarigIc Can Return
and Finish His Bath.
CHICAGO, Nov. 1s.-After seventy
three weeks imprisonmentint in the county
jail, Edward Mcdonald walked out Of
the criminal court last evening free
man-under $4,000 bonds. The formal
ity of bond and the distant prospect OF
another trial seemed trille slight, and
the face OF the ex-Engineer and boodlcr
was wreathed in smiles.
One OF the attorneys for the boodlers
said: "McGarigle can now come back 10
Chicago, shake hands with Sheriff Mat
son, spend ten days in jail and walk
out free man. McGarigle got away
while his motion for new trial was
pending. While he has been away, Nc
Donald has taken up the case at hisow
expense, and decided it in McGarigle's
favor. 1t is a huge joke. 1t means an
absolute discharge for both men,"

AlEyANpER MEsSER ARRRsrRp.
One of tho Hatflcld.NIeCoy Gang Captured.
He Has Killed ~ Persons.

CHARLESTON, W. Va, Nov. 1s.-The
confession of Ellison Hatfield, alias
Mounds, who was arrested about three
weeks. ago by Detectives:Gi and Cum
ningham, OF the Eureka force, implicated
Alexander Messer us one Of the murder
ers Of the three Mccoy boys in August,
1882. Heis known as one OF the most des-
perate characters on the border, and was
very prominent in the Breathitt county
trouble, in Kentucky, several years ago.
He killed five or six men there, and
claims TO have killed twenty-seVen men
since the war.
The Kentucky authorities offered a
reward OF $3.50 for his capture, and Glib
son and Cunningham have been looking
for him ever since the capture OF Ellison
Hatfield, but as he had left the Hatfield
settlement shortly after the murder OF
the Mccoy boys, they had some difficulty
in locating him. They finally found
that he was living in Lincoln county, on
Ugly creek, and on Wednesday they
met man at Chapman's store, in that
who answered TO his
He invited them to his
home, where they went. During the
conversation he told his name, when
Gibson covered him with pistol and
handcutfed him. They lodged him in
jail at Catlettsburg, KY, this morning.
Messer is about 50 years OF age and has
a wife and six children. He was once
deputy theriff in Perry county, KY, and
says he would have never surrendered
but for the fact that the detectives got
between him and his gun. He admits
having lived with the Hattelds at the
time OF the murder OF the Mccoy boys, |
but denies that he murdered either OF
them. He is the seventh OF the Hat
Iield-McCoy gang who have been arrest
ed by the EureEas.

o'clock, was good.sized man who, i'm
mediately upon the arrival Of the train,
proceeded to the baggage room, where
he had a trunk and a roll OF blankets
recheckcd for New York. Leaving the
baggage room he walked to the north
side OF the depot, where he drew 44-
caliber Smith & Wesson revolver and,
placing the muzzle in his mouth, dis.
charged the weapon, the ball passing
upward into the brain.
A search OF the suicides pockets
brought to light number OF cards read
ing, "Nlr. Fred Barber, % Chipping

to the Falls from Hamilton, on the l4th
instant, with lady, and registered at
the Prospect House, as "Nlr. and Mrs.

They remained Mt the Prospect House
until the evening OF the 10th, spending
much OF the time out walking and in
viewing the falls. They left for Ham

The Democratic leaders in Virginia,
West Virginia, Maryland and Louisiana
have resolved to count out the Repuhlt-
can majority in the House; but it is
scarcely possible that they can succeed.
In Alabama and South Carolina five
Republicans who were fairly elected
have already been counted out. The
rascals rely upon Democratic Governors
and the Democratic Clerk OF the House
to reverse the verdict OF the people and
give them n majority. Whether they
succeed or not they have again disgraced
their States and their party. They de-
mand to be "let alone" but their de-

AN INSURANCE COMBINE.
A Bufalo Trust DIscrimlnates against Nat

ural Gas.
BUFFALO, Nov. 1s.-The Board OF Fire
Underwriters this week advanced the
rate Of insurance on buildings supplied
with natural gas % per cent, unless a
patent regulator is placed in each build
ing by the consumer. The necessity for
this is not apparent to everybody, for
the service is low pressure, with plenty
OF safeguards, and the expense to con-
sumers will approximate $4,000.
An investigation made showed that it
was the work OF an Insurance Trust.
All the New York companies are now
in the Board OF Underwriters. Until re-
Gently Ferguson & Roth did big busi-
ness with non-board companies and kept
the rates down. The monopolists fought
this firm by giving equal rates in special
cases, but they could not drive out the
opposition.
Kinlball & Gibson, an insurance firm,
lately failed. The board people then
offered Roth some OF their companies,
and gave him permission TO renew all
his old policies once at the cut rate, il he
would join them. Roth did 80, and
now there is absolutely no competition
in insurance rates. The Underwriters
are expected to further advance rates
unless the public make too strong pro-
test now. The natural gas company's
officials say that there is absolutely no
necessity for putting in the regulators.
