nend,y's Election.

Maine is with the country, Mondas etcc-
tons shoE that. Tie worse than botch
mad of national affairs by tie Democratic
party has strerg thened the faith in ReIub-
lican principles in Maine a. i: has through
out the country. The people OF our cities
an towns feel that they want men of Re-
p ID lean principles in control at home as
we'll a, at Washington. They have learned
thst they can get just as good men in the
m ,nayement Of municipal aEai.s, by taking
those who believe as they believe politically,
as they can by taking those who believe diff
feren,ly. We've had enough of Demo-
cratic rule a. home and abroad" is the raj
lying cry in Maine this year.
Furthermore in the cities which have been
under the heel of Democracy, the misgov-
ernme N. had become notorious. In all de-
partments there had been mismanagement,
extravaganza and corruption. The Demo
or tic cities of Maine afford no exception to
the rule, which applies to all CT ifs un Ter
Democratic rule from New York DOWN. viz. ::
they were incompetently and cxlravagant,y
governed.
Mondays Republican victories, especially
in .uch cities as Waterville AMI Lewiston,
are glorious triumphs for good government.

assigned for so mary all night lights 10 this
quiet town is that they afford the cheapest
kind of police protection. If we may bf
paldoned in this connection. we would like
to add that in the opinion of many COM
petent to Judge the other branch Of the police
service was rs cheap in every sense but
financial one as could well be afforded.
Moreover, they cannot truthfnlly say that
the Republicans would not have renewt d
the contract just as advantageously.
But we cannot 60 into all the ramifica-
tons of the subject without carrying this
article to undue length. We shall refer to
more of the details later. We would, how
ever, call attention for a moment to the
boast made by them that they have ma
cadamized the north end of Water street.
They hare not mocodami.ed that street
Grove street ,cos macadamized. The mort
end of Water street is temporarily but tx-
pensively improved by hauling on crust ed
rock without proper foundation. Grove
street for years to come will continl e
to be what it is already proved
to be, wise outlay Of sutli lent money.
The north end of Water street will be when
the frost gets at work upon it-there has
been very little frost this winter be it re-
memhered--another example of insufficient
money unwisely expended. The Republi-
cans years ago learned the folly of suc}
makeshifts.
As the result ssof intxperience, make,
shifts of such as the above, made in order
to blind the public. and of the paying Of
political debts and furnishing employment
to "doubtfuls," the current expenses of the
present city government have been ortr
SIG, 900 in excess of the previous admins
tration's.
But to conclude: every intelligent voter
who studies the situation free from plr.i,an
bias, knows that with inexperience, what
with division Of spoils, in too many in
stances unwisely, and what with the de.
mands for continued Democratic ascendency
in Augusta, the present city government
has not fulfilled the promises of the party
has not given us the clean and business
like administration, we had under the Re-
puslicans; has not .forded any excuse for
being continued longer in power.

ed into gas would occupy a third more
space than a pound of water converted into
steam.

whole thing is but three inches in diameter
and thirty-six inches in length. 1t con-
tains four pounds of ether. This is heat
ed by burning gasolene from underneath,
which is supplied from tank that is in the
curving frame extending from the COTTON
of the generator to the fork of the front
wheel. A force pump extends from the
hub of the rear wheel to the bottom of the
generator and forces spray of burning
gasoline under the ether. 1t is operated
as the rear wheel is driven by the two
engines that extend from just behind the
saddle down to the hub Of the rear wheel,
on both sides. These engines weigh scarce
ly two pounds piece, without thespistons,
yet at full pressure they are capable sof

of one horse power each. The generator

miles of travel. 1t is estimated that the
peed of the motor bicycle is almost unlim-
tied, and would reach as high as go miles
an hour if the bearings would stand that
or the rider could keep his breath. The
bearings will be made extra strong. The
pneumatic tires are to be three inches in
diameter.
The patents have not yet been granted,
but the applications are all in the office at
Washington, and as nothingsssimilar wassever
there before there is little reason to fear
that the patents will not be granted.
The entire bicycle will weigh about so
pounds. No bicycle has yet been built and
tried. but Mr.. Twombly sees no reason why
it will not work as well in practice as in
theory.
Of course. he has experimental with ap-
paratus that performs the same thing,
though it issnot of the same shape as that
to be used on the bicycle, which will soon
be built.
Several business men of Portland will or
ganiZe very soon a company to push this

steam boiler. After the .vaporized ether has
driven the engines the vapor passes
through sthe frame under the seat to the
condenser, just above the front wheel, IN
der the handles.
This condenser is.a coil of pipe, but eight
inches in length.
On the other side of the rear wheel oppo-
site the force pump, is an air pump. Along
the sides of the reservoir of gasoline in the
curving lower frame, which is quite wide
are two pipes. The one on the side of the
air-pump is to convey a current of air up
to the condenser where an atomizer ar
rangement forces gasoline from the tank
on to the condenser. This cools with re-
markable quickness. The vapor of the
ether comes from the engines, is condensed
and runs down the pipe on the other side of
the gasoline tank and into the generator
again.
Mr.. Twombly showed the writer. yester-
day, the cooling effect of spray of gaso-
line on the bulb of a thermometer that
registered 50 degrees. The mercury went
down to below freezing in less than a
minute, and the bulb felt cold as ice.
Thus it will be seen, the ether is used over
and over again. The generator holds four

AN ETHER BICYCLE.
Extraordinary Invention of Mr.. Will
lard l. TWOmbly.

The Vapor of Ether Takes the Place of
Steam-The Bicycle is Estimated to
Weigh but Sixty Pounds and Develop a
High Speed-A Most Ingenious and
Promising Device-A Company TO Be
Formed.
An ether bicycle! What can that be?
Well it will take some time to explain. 1t is
the result of the inventive genius and lab
ors of Portland young man, an it is GER
tainly most ingenious and plausible de-
vice on paper and worth anyone's atten-
tion as such, even should it prove, as hard
ly==seems probable, to be impractical for
common use.
MI. Willard I. Twombly is the inventor of
this motor bicycle, that aims to carry its
riders over the highways as the locomotive
speeds over the rails.
The main idea of this is summed up in the
word ether. He uses ether to generate
power instead of water. Why? Because
ether is converted into expanding gas at So
degrees, while water requires 2l2 degrees of
heat to change it into steam There is a
great saving of heat. Also the gas of ether

HENRY POLAND CAPTURED.

Escaped.

It will be remembered that Officer Spar

notorious Poland boys, Henry and George,
against whom twenty-five indictments are
pending in the Androscoggin courts George
Poland broke out of Auburn Jail, where he
had been confined Tor liquor selling, and
escaped How he was tracked, caught and
again escaped was told in the PRESS We'd
nesday. Later it was astertained that Po-
lands trunk was at the Union station, and
when an order came to forward it to Man
chester, N. H.. Officer Sparrow went with
it.
When Officer Sparrow got to Manchester
he found his labors had just begun. He
got on the trail of the men and continued
to New Boston, where he obtained the SER
vices of Constable Mudgett of that place
and the two men proceeded to Greenfield,
where they found that Henry Poland was
at work haying for a farmer named Savage.
In the meantime Sparrow telegraphed Depu-
ty Sheriff Carlton of that county, to meet
him at New Boston. When Sparrow and
Mudgett walked in ON Henry Poland, who
had just finished his job of haying, he was
much surprised man, but surrendered
without trouble. Sparrow then learned
that George was working for another far
mer short distance away from the Savage
and they started for him. but he had taken
the alarm ard his whereabouts could not
be ascertained. Sparrow and Mudgett took
Henry Poland to New Boston, where .Depu-
ty Sheriff Carlton joined them and escort
ed the prisoner 20 the state line, where he
was formally handed over to Sparrow, who
brought him to Portland yesterday noon.
Poland told Sparrow if Carlton hadn't been
with him he would notsshave returned with
ont a reorisition.
