this change was made in the valuation
of sheep is not known. Sheep were

KeeIy-for while his baptisnlal name
was John Ernest Morrell Keely he was
known in all legal documents as John
w, and under that name he made con-
tracts with the shrewdest investors, the
most calculating of fortune hunters and
the clearest headed lawyers in a city
famed for a bar of extraordinary Legal
acumen.
He not only confounded scientists
with an undoubted and thoroughly
demonstrated force in mechanics, but
he possessed sufficient personal magnet
ism to induce any and every man with
whom he came in contact to believe in
his theory that the mechanical device
which he called a vibratory motor was
the genesis of an absolutely new prin-
ciple, and the more intelligent his lis
tener the more confident the belief.
The Keely motor has been a by word
and a wonder, term for the impossible
and for the marvellous. Its creator has
been denounced as mountebank and
extolled as a genius.
1t was his assertion for upward of 80
years that the vibratory force of the
atmosphere. properly controlled, could
be harnessed so as to control mechan-
ical devices with power millionfold
greater than steam.
He proposed with the stroke of fid-
die bow to produce force enough to run
a train OF cars 1000 miles; to drive a
projectile as soft as tallow through a
plate of armor; to run an engine with
such speed that its velocity would cause
its parts to fly asunder; to cause the
rock ana earth surrounding precious
metals to separate and fall and leave
the metal naked and free. and all this
he asserted to be able to do by control
ling the molecular force of the earth's
envelope of air.
He was backed by a coterie of friends
and believers who had absolute faith in
him, and chief among them was Mrs.
Bloomfield Moore, the widow of a
wealthy Philadelphia merchant, who,
for nearly a quarter of a century, be-
lieved so thoroughly in his genius that
she advanced thousands and thousands
of dollars to enable him to continue his
experiments.

THE FIGHT A FIASCO.
Corbett-SharIxey Bout an Evident
Fake, and All Bets Declared OF.

New York, Nov. 23.-The Corbett-
Sharkey fight, which was witnessed by
the largest and most representative
gathering of sporting men that ever
congregated to see a ring contest, ended
in a most disgraceful fiasco last night
at the Lenox Athletic club. Corbett had
all the worst of the encounter, when in
the ninth round one of his seconds, Con-
ME McVey, jumped into the ring, APP
pealing to the referee, thus violating
the rules, and Referee Honest" John
Kelly had no alternative but to disqual-
ify Corbett and award the bout to Shar-
key.
MeVey's intrepedity was absolutely
inexcusable, and the referee, believing
that there was a Job" in McVey's ac-
ton, took it upon himself to declare all
bets off. Before Kelly did so. however,
many of those who had bet on Corbett,
and they We're legion, appealed to the
referee to take such action, while the
Sharkeyites shouted against such in
terference on Kelly's part and protested
that he had no authority to declare the
bets off However, the referees word
went with the majority of the specta
tors. and consequently all money PAL
on wagers made will be refunded.

Among the friends Eof this great edu-
Gator it has been no secret for some
time that the president contemplated
his resignation before age weighed too
heavily upon him, hut his executive en-
thusiasm in the arrangements for the
coming bicentennial celebration in 1901
had led to the belief that he would
not abandon his high Office until the
festival had been celebrated.
Upon the presentation of President
Dwight's letter of resignation the cor

resolution earnestly requesting the
president to defer his retirement until
after the bicentennial celebration.

pressed his feeling that he must abide

DECLARED VOID.
Antiscarping Law Is Decided to Be
Unconstitutional.


Albany. Nov 23.-After a hard strug-
gle for legislative and executive ap-
proval and after varying success in the
lower courts the so called antiscalpers
law has been declared unconstitutional
by the court of appeals and is there
fore imperative.
This law was introduced as a bill in
the early days Of the last legislative
session and received the approval OF
both houses by small najorities after
each successive progressive step of the
bill in the committees had been most
vigorously fought When 1t reached
Governor Blacks hands, another hear
ing was had on the measure, and II
hung fire, among many other Of the 30
day bills, until the eleventh hour, when
the governor attached his signature to
the same, and 1t became law. In brief,
it provided that it was a criminal act
for any one to sell railroad tickets in
this state except the authorized agents
of the railroad companies. Shortly aft
er it became a law George Tyroler, a
ticket broker in New York city, was ar
rested on the charge of having sold a
ticket for transportation from New
York city to Norfolk. He was convicted
and sent to jail.
An application of his for a writ OF
habeas corpus was denied by Justice
Lawrence, who refused to pass upon the
questions of the constitutionality of the
law which were raised, on the ground
that such questions should only be act-
ed upon by a sitting court of more than
one person.
This decision was sustained by the
appellate division of the supreme court
of the First department, which took up
the constitutional questions involved
and decided that the law was constitu-
tional by unanimous decision of the
judges.
This decision was appealed to the
court of appeals and that body yester-
day rendered a decision reversing that
of the appellate division and declared
the law unconstitutional ard nlrther or
dered that Tyroler be discharged. The
court of appeals was divided on the
questions at issue. Chief Judge Parker
wrote the prevailing opinion. which is
concurred in by Judges O'Brien, Haight
and Vann. The dissenting opinions were
written, one by Judge Martin and the
other by Judge Bartlett. Judge Gray
concurred in the dissenting opinions.

Term Our Ungenerosity.

Madrid, Nov. 23.-The proposals of the
United States peace commissioners have
been received here without any public
sensation The general feeling is in ia
vor of a speedy ending of the negotia-
tions.
The newspapers lament the 'ungen-
erosity'' of the United States in offering
such small indemnity" They think
that Japan or some of the European
powers would have paid higher price
There are those who contend it would
be better to decline indemnity alto
gether, because the government could
then decline responsibility for the Phil
ippine debt.
There is much irritation at the apathy
of Europe The Impartial says:
President Mckinley now boasts OF
having himself written the protocol in
order to mislead Spain This is adding
insult to injury. Yet Europe looks on
undisturbed. All ideas of justice have
vanished from the world.

mands. Spain yielding under protest II
is also supposed that the dispatch con-
tanned instructions to endeavor to OBJ

Elmira, n. Y, Nov. 23.--Two men with
handkerchiefs over the lower portion
Of their faces entered the saloon Of D.
Burns. on East Water street, last night
and, placing a revolver at the bartend-

tents. of the cash register. They also
took gold watch from another man
in the saloon in the same manner. They
walked out, and when some one told
a policeman to arrest the men he
laughed, thinking it was a joke, and
they made their escape. There were a
dozen people in the saloon at the time
of the hold up.
