I in their turn, experience the delightful feeling ' of having obtained value received for their i money. The auspicious beginning of the fesI tivals encourage our lady friends of the Bap-' tist Church, who feel, if they faint not, they j will in due time reap the reward of their la- i bors. Col. J. S. Wilson, of our town, from half an acre of ground sown in orchard grass,' L gathered four thousand pounds of hay. The j | hay, in this market, was worth $80. Can ' any farmer in York or Chester beat this? ^ Cotton will be robbed of his kingship when it I is proven, by indisputable facts, that other | * products can be grown at greater profit. An election to fill the vacancy in the lower ; branch of the Legislature, occasioned by the ! death of S. J. McCullough, has been ordered for the 28th of July. As a sheriff for the j county will be chosen on the same day, the ! boiling of the political pot will soon begin, | and will continue until the close of the elec- j tion. The meeting of the Republican Coun- j ty Convention, which will be held in a tew j day9, will be the signal for the opening of the ! campaign, which will be "short, sharp and decisive." An excess of candidates for political ; honors, may occasion a split in their ranks. 1 No movements have been made by the Conservatives, upon which a declaration in regard to their course can be founded. The probabilities are that they will make no strong, earnest effort to carry the election. The quarterly meeting of the Methodist Church of this place began on Friclay.and came to a close last evening. Rev. Mr. Mitchell and Rev. Mr. Walker, the ministers in charge of this circuit, were assisted by the Presiding Elder, Rev. Dr. Flemming. The church was filled to its utmost capacity uuring both the morning and evening services of yesterday, and the discourses, which were delivered by the Presiding Elder, were interesting and impressive. The learned diviue, with an earnestness that could not fail to touch the hearts of his listeners, dwelt last evening at considerable length upon the sovereignty of God. While he demonstrated the power of the Creator, he showed that man was a free agent, that he knew the difference between right and wrong, and that if he chose to walk in the ways of evil, he would be judged and punished according to this determination. Mr. W. C. Gladden tells roe of a violent hail and wiud storm that occurred in the vicinity of Rich Hill on Saturday afternoon. Trees and fences succumbed to the force of the storm ; corn and cotton were considerably torn and beat down, but Mr. Gladden does not think that they have suffered any material ^ damage. k John Lee, colored, took charge of the post office at this place last week. Qui. Correspondence of the New York Tribune. A SEW^IOTOR. Philadelphia, June 7.?"Within thirty days you will see a train of 20 Pullman cars drawn from Philadelphia to New York without steam, electricity, hot air, or any other known motive power." The speaker's tone was one of profound conviction, and there were no symptoms of insanity in his face. I had known him for a long time as a man who attended to his business, paid his debts, was opposed to the Third Term, and gave other evidences of sanity. "Well, what is to haul the train ?" I asked incredulously. "The wonderful new motor," he replied ; "a little machine that needs only a small supply of water and air. About a bucketful of water will be enough to run to New York." "And the fuel ?" "There is no fuel?absolutely nothing but the water, the air, and the little machine." r I remembered vaguely having read something about this invention last summer, aud having wondered how some poor, half-cracked inventor had got a newspaper to unfold his wild fancies. Since then I had heard it talked about occasionally during the winter by people who had only hearsay information. My frieud was so enthusiastic that I promised to i r? trv tho mnftor Whoponnnn Ko Qfl if} that it could not be looked into yet, everything connected with the invention being kept a profound secret from everybody except a few capitalists, who had furnished the money to develop it, and two or three experts who had been employed by them to examine and report upon the machine. A few days after this conversation an iusurauce agent brought in an equally extravagant tale of the new motor. He had seen it work, and owned some stock in it, which was not for sale at any price. Now, it is hard to get the start of an insurance agent in a bagain, and the fact that this gentleman had invested money in the machine gave it a certain claim to respect. The claim was enhanced, when I met the inventor, who drove his own carriage, and looked in every way sane and solvent. Obviously the new moter, whatever it might be, had propelled him into very comfortable circumstances. He used to live in a back street, it is said, and tinkered away at his machine for 14 years before he got to work, fighting off poverty the while as best he could. With curiosity stimulated by the enigmatical talk of the inventor and the marvelous stories of his friends, I set about picking up and putting together the facts about the machine, with such results as appear below. The inventor's name is John W. Keely, j and he calls his invention the "Keely Motor." ] It is owned by a stock company composed chiefly of New York and Philadelphia capitalists, who have paid in a working capital of about 8150,000 and hold stock of the nominal par value of 81,000,000. They value this stock at fabulous prices. The original i associates of Mr. Keely, who are all members | of the present company, are James S. Yarnell, j John Stiltz, Chas. B. Collier, J. W. Schuck- i ers, aud William Beekel of this city, and ; Charles B. Till of Morristown, N. J. The j apparatus that generates the power is called n ' ' m ill ti r\l ir?o t nr " and ic nr\mr*/\ond r\ C a imi m a luuiti^iitdbvi) CHJVI 10 uuiii|Miocu wi a ilUUlber of iron chambers of cylindrical form, con- j nected by pipes and fitted with certain cocks | and valves. The machine upon which ex- j periments have been conducted during the | past eight months is about 36 inches high, 24 long, and 13 wide, and its cylinders will hold about six gallons of water. A small brass pipe, with an orifice one-quarter of au inch in i diameter, leads from it to a strong wroughtiron reservoir six inches in diameter and three feet long, where the power is stored, and whence it is fed to a beam engine through a still smaller pipe. The process of generating the power consists in forcing air into the upper chamber of the multiplicator, and afterward letting water run in from a hydrant until the receptacles are nearly filled. In the experiments lately made the inventor has used his own lungs forau air pump, blowing through j a tube for a few seconds, then turning a cock to shut offthe air, connecting the tube with the hydrant and opening the cock until sufficient water runs in. Within two minutes after this operation is performed the cocks on the tubes connecting the upper with the lower cylinders are turned and the power is ready for use. The little machine exerts through the small tube, one-eighth of an inch in di- ! ameter, a pressure varying from 2,000 to 15, 000 pounds to the square iuch, at the will of the operator. The power is accurately measured by a force register. When applied to the engine it runs it as rapidly as it is pru- i dent to permit, the supply of power always being kept below its full capacity. Very thorough tests have been made by those interested in probing the mystery, to see if there was not some trick of concealed chem- j icals to generate gas. The multiplicator has i v been suspended from the rafters of the building and air blown through it, and it has been flooded repeatedly with water to dissolve any j chemical compound it might hold concealed. I Jib <?&?* Immediately after these tests the power has ] beeu generated. Last fall an elaborate series of experiments were conducted by Chief Engineer Rutherford of the United States Navy ; J. Snowden Bell, a mechanical engineer; Wm. Beekel, mechanician, and Cbas. B. Collier, a lawyer of this city, and the results were printed in a pamphlet for the private information of the stockholders. Beside the air and water tests they examined the escape from the valves, and found it to be a "vaporic or gaseous production," without smell or taste, and with no explosive or inflammable properties when exposed to a flame. When a piece of muslin cloth was held over the escape an icicle of the shape of a thimble was rapidly formed. The investigators also tasted the water which had been used in the multiplicator, and discovered no unusual flavor or odor, and took ? - -! _:.i 1. ??? tne raacnine to pieces wmiuui uuuiug auj residuum. What, then, is this strange power, capable of doing the work of steam without heat? The inventor talks about the multiplied power of hydraulic columns held iu suspension, but gives no further explanation of the manner by which a pressure of 26 pounds to the inch, which the Schuylkill water has in the hydrant, is increased to 15,000 pounds by merely passing through his iron cylinders. It is his secret, he says, and he will reveal it as soon as his patents in this country and in England are issued. One of the principal owners of the invention accounts for the strange force on the supposition that the machine separates water into its ultimate atoms, and changes their cohesive force into one of strong repulson. It is a singular peculiarity of the force that when it is diminished much below a pressure of 1,200 pounds to the square inch, it extinguishes itself, fading out and leaving no sign. Mr. Keely is now engaged on anew and larger multiplicator, the parts of which havebeeu made in different machine shops to preserve the secret of its construction. It is almost ready for use. One thing appears certain from these facts or allegations: either Mr. Keely is perpetrating a remarkably ingenious and successful fraud, or he has really, as he asserts, discover ed a new motive power that must soon supersede steam and revolutionize machinery. If the invention is genuine its importance can scarcely be exaggerated. Steam engines will become obsolete. Steamships will be remodeled. The railway locomotive must give way to the new motor engine, burning no fuel and emitting no smoke, and coal will become a drug on the market. Perhaps all fuel will be needless, for heat and motion are introcon- j vertible, and if an air and water apparatus can generate motion, why may not that motion be changed to heat to warm our dwellings? By this time the reader will be ready to ask, "Do you, a newspaper correspondent, who ought to have had your credulity knocked out of you by experience, believe in this new motor?" It is a fair question, and my answer is "No; seeing is believing. When I see the train ruuning to New York I will believe and not before. But that there are maUj *ersons who have faith in the inventiou, I can vouch for." Let me add that the stock is not for sale, and that all the inventor asks of the public is that it will let him alone until he completes the new multiplicator he is now making and is ready to exhibit it.
