J. s. Mayhew of Bethel, of the firm of Mayhew & Allen of Danbury, was in the Street, Tuesday, with his Orient motorcycle, and attracted much atten- tion. He was surrounded by quite 8 company and good naturedly pointed out The Orient motorcycle ia propelled st the riders will by 8 motor, or by the pedals, or both motor and pedals simul. tsneousIy. The rider can begin or cease peda Hing without interfering with the action of the motor. By adding muscle power, of course, he saves motor-power; :; but the latter is very inexpensive. This automobile will carry one, two or even three persons comfortably, maintaining 8 speed of from 10 to 20 miles per hour, ar the will of the operator. It will aver age 50 miles without renewing the supply of naptha, and reserve tank may be added, which will enable the rider to carry enough for 150 miles. Either nap tha, gasoline or petroleum may be used. The dry battery used lasts year. The machine will climb any grade up to 10 per cent without pedalling, and up to 15 per cent grade with slight assistance from the pedals. This motor works on the same principle as steam engine, but requires no boiler, for instead of expand ing water into steam, 1t expands naptha into gas. This expansion acts directly upon the piston of the engine; this is so sudden and forcible that it is technically called an explosion. Hence, only 8 very small volume of gas is required. The piston is connected with the shaft which moves the wheels. Upon every alternate
 return of the piston, a new explosion is caused by sparks in the piston chamber, created by dry battery and emitted at regular intervals, the swiftness of which
 is under full control of the operator. The dry battery hangs from the upper tube of the frame. The vaporizing chamber, "V." is under the saddle, and the motor and driving gear are supported by the rear axle tube. When naptha evaporates, it cools considerably; when it expands
 suddenly,it causes heat. The heat of the cylinder in which 1t expands is utilized for keeping at an even temperature the chamber in which it evaporates. This is done by means of tube through which
 hot air passes from the expansion cham Der. MT Mayhew pointed out to his hearers that unlike horse, the Orient automobile cannot run away; by the
 mere removal of key, the owner makes it impossible for others to ride off with it, hence thief cannot steal it. It needs nothing to lean against or to be tied to |;
 it makes neither dirt or objectionable
 noise and all danger of explosion of the
 motive fluid is so absolutely eliminated
 that, even if the vehicle is willfully up-
 set (and it can not be upset otherw wise)

nothing can catch fire or explode. As the machine costs $450, not many found this amount In their pockets, and were so obliged to defer 3 purchase.

 INN NEXT WEEK.

On Thursday, June IA, the Woman's the Bridgeport hospital, visit Newtown as the guests of Mrs G. W. Richards on, one of the strongest supporters on the executive committee. There will be held meeting at the Newtown Inn at 3 D. m., and the town folk are earnestly invited to attend. A brief sketch of the work will be given, beginning St the formation of the ward and the carrying on of the work up to the present, when the ward has been found to have become far too small and confined for sanitary occupa- tion, for the many cases needing medical attention. The occupancy of the beds in the ward is broadcast, being open to all Fairfield county, and it is hoped that all the towns in the county will feel it & blessed privilege to aid the sta if in build ing separate wing, or at least larger quarters for the advancement of the work. The revenue of the staff is very small, gained from membership fees, small fairs and entertainments, but no endowment has ever been made, which would be of great value to the staff, or a free bed established in the ward. The work is in charge of an executive con- mittee of l6 and there is a membership, the fee of which is $1, and any one resi- dent or otherwise is eligible. The house (of which Mrs Richardson Is a valued memher), the delicacy, linen wardrobe, flower, and ways and means, have con- trol of the workings of the ward and hope that Newtown people will become help- fully inte rested in the good work. The officers ares President, Mrs Joel P. Omens; vice presidents, Mrs William K. Disbrow, Mrs HerryJ. Lewis treasurer, Mrs Henry Setzer; secretary, Mrs Will liam Sumner Bullard. These officials with the following heads of departments comprise the executive committee: Mrs William M. Terry, Mrs H. K. Raymond, Mrs William K. Halligan, Mrs Samuel c.

William Jennings Bryan will be in
Wheeling to-day for the second time
during the present campaign. He left
Buffalo last night, after his speech In
that city, and will come to Wheeling
via Pittsburg, arriving here at 1885 a.
M, and departing ten minutes later
for Huntington. Mr.. Bryan is now
travelling in a private Pullman car. At
this city there will be attached to his
car a special parlor car OF the Ohio
River railroad. Capt. George III. Moi
fat came up from Parkersburg yester-
day to take charge of the train at this
point, and to personally look after the
comfort of Mr.. Bryan while his special
car is being transported to Huntington
over the Ohio River road.
Judge John H. Holt, who spoke at
Wellsburg last night, will probably
come down on the train with Mr..
Bryan. Among those who are expected
to join the Bryan party here are Col
John T. McGraw, State Chairman j. H.
Miller, A. P. Garden and others. Mr..
Bryan will attend services at the Hunt
ington Presbyterian church tonight.
While his short stay, and the fact
that it is Sunuay, will preclude the idea
of Mr.. Bryan making a speech here,
there will no doubt be a crowd at the
Panhandle station when he arrives, as
it is likely that he will at least show
himself.
