Here is machine, built on an island
in Casco Bay, that is going to revolu-
tionize the motive forces of the world.
All you need is an air pump. few
strokes of the handle and you have Gre
ated force that will last as long as the
iron prison that holds it and that will
labor as long as you please and will SO
thrive on its own labor that it increases
in power. 1t feeds upon itself and grows
stronger and bigger. The snake that
swallowed itself isn't in it compared
with this marvellous force. The Roentgen
ray is quite eclipsed by this wonderful
self'supplying pewsr. The sooner Mr..
Roher introduces it to the world the bet-
ter the world will be suited.
If Mr. Roher has got anything inside
that air compressor, that SO manipulates
compressed air and vacuums that the
force in expanding itself also supplies
itself, time will reveal the fact. Mean
while we publish these statements fol
what they are worth. Let the readol

OFF THE TRACK.
A Maine Central Train DeraiIed but Nc
One Injured.

Last evening passenger train No. 102
on the Maine Central was nearing the
Union Station when it was derailed.
The accident was due to peculiar cause
The St. John train was an hour and a
a half late, and the yard signal was up
for freight train and so Mr.. II. B. Hus-
sey, the switch tender set the switch for
the freight, and stepped back, just as he
heard the coming passenger tram. Mr..
Husseg made a desperate attempt to
correct his mistake, and but for the fact
that the look caught would have succeed
ed. AS it was, the entire train went off
the track with the exception of the last
truck Of the rear car.
The train was running very slowly and
only went half Its own longth after it
was derailed. OF course the passengers
were little shaken up, but no one was
injured. A young lady was slightly
hurt while leaving the car, by stepping
Oh rail. She slipped, fell and turned
her ankle.
The Pullman was full almost to it's
limit, and large number of passengers
were in the oJher cars Some of them
did not even know that anything out
of the ordinary had happened.
A wrecking gang under the direction
of Mr.. Pinkerton rapidly replaced the
derailed engine and cars back on the
line, and it WAS found thas no special
damage had bsen inflicted, and there
was only q detentior Of freight trains fur
a short time. 1t was a very lucky escape.

Mr.. o'BRiEN EXCITED.
Declares the Devil Came to Bath as Well
as the Ministers.
ESPECIAL TO THE pREss.1

Bath, February 17.-Bath is still hay-
excitement aud the chief topic of CONVEX
sation today has been the sermon preach
ed yesterday by Rev. F.W. O'Brien who
for the past year or more has caused a
great many interesting events to OCCUR
Mr.. O'Brien has been bitterly attacked
by the local clergy but still continues
to draw large crowds. He has been
preaching at the Corliss street Free
Baptist church and few weeks ago he
was asked if it would be convenient for
him to have the Edgecomb quarterly
meeting there last Friday and Saturday.
He replied that it would and at once
made arrangements for the entertain
ment of the delegates at the homes of his
flock. On the programme for these
meetings prepared by the clerk was one
service to be held at the Hooker building,
where Mr.. O'Brien has also been con-
Quoting services.
The quarterly meeting took place and
Mr.. O'Brien was completely ignored not
even being invited into the pulpit and
in addition to that the service at the
Hooker building was also given up.
This of course stirred Mr. O'Brien up
considerably and he preached two very
hot sermons yesterday.
In the afternoon he preached to about
400 people at the Hooker building and
in the course of his remarks said :"These
ministers came here from away and the
devil came also." He also said: "Too
many ministers preach on Sunday and
voice the devil all the rest of the week. !"
AT the evening service at the Columbia
theatre every seat was taken. People
sat on the gallery stairs and were slowed
away in all sorts of places. Here he
again showed his excitement and said
that there was no more theology IN him
than would make two small pills, he
believed in Christ, preached Christ and
Christ was his church. He said: "Some
people believe in sticking to church
wheeler 1t is right or wrong Stick to
your churches and old dry bones. Stick
to your steepls houses while men and
women go down To hell and God AL
mighty saying Go ye into all the
world
That's right stick to your church
but also stick to God. Let the love for
Jesus stand out first, then you will not
have to plead with people to be loyal and
come to church. l don't have to plead
with my people, they come because they
want to. The only trouble is to find
room for those that want to come.
81 wish that the Knight Templars and
the Odd Fellows would go out and preach
their principles, then more men and
women would be saved. We have church.

Maine upside down. If you love the
Lord love your brethren and do not
go about stabbing them in the back
The Bath clergymen have arranged to
have Evangelist Gale who is now in
Lewiston come to Bath in April and it
was doubtless this that Mr.. O'Brie
meant when he said, eyes, we need
eyangslists in Bath. We need half doz-
en-, and hope the good Lord will send
one, but don't want him to wait until
April before he does it,
At the after meeting 1872 persons gave
