THE DAILY EXAM NEB) ==
TESTING THE KEELY MOTOR,
(Philadelphia Presss, August 29.)
Last night, at number 1422 North twen- tieth street, in the presence of a number of scientific gentlemen, including R. H. DeBurk, engineer; Colonel Bell, of New York: Professor Wise, the aernaut; Mr. Smyser, Mr. Bickel, and John A. Keely’s assistants, Messrs, Moore and Chaunce, and the officers of the company, there was a test given of the machine which has been known as the ‘‘ Keely motor.” All the tests given were successful, the last one being slightly marred bya split in one of the service pumps, not at ail militating against the experiment as a fact, The operation of the machine is so simple that those who have laughed at the telegraph and the locomotive will cease to do so the same as they did with those wonderful ins ventions, A rubber hose, five-eights of an inch, is attached tothe hydrant, and water, about two or three gallons—is passed into the machine. The gauges with graduated scales, indicate the height of the water column, the result varying, as it does, so far as the result is concerned, Air is forced into the upright column on the left with a pump, the pressure applied being usually about five pounds, some« times as muchas ten pounds, By appli- cation of more air, or by “ bleeding’ oi the guages, the pressure is regulated at will, and the machine is technically called ‘set.’ The operation merely consists, in a motion of the lever already described ; and certainly last night its results were wonderful, and demonstrated that the power is made from hydrant water and ordinary air,no chemicals about it, and it will drive an engine and transmit power. The vapor passes from a machine into a steel shell and into a condensing apparatus, whence it goes to a smail tube and thence to the engine. ‘I'he valves were all opened to show the machine was clear, air intro- duced, and the lever was lifted, the first move showing 1,750 pound pressure on the guage to the square inch, although the chamber for condensing was open the cur- rent did not blow out a match held over it. With six and a half pounds air pres- sure, the guage indicated 5,200 pounds to the inch, and then 6,700 on the third trial. On the fourth it lifted a large lever weighed) registering 5,000 dead weight.
The vapour was turned into an expulsion chamber, and the cap flew off with a report like a rifle, frightening half those present, and iastly, a five-horse power engine, with three-fourth inch stroke and twenty-four inch fiy-wheel, was driven at 689 revolu« tions to the minute. The skeptical en- gineers were convinced that the power was there, and that it could be applied. The present machine cost 760,000. One of the
fifteen is perfect as all engineers know. A pubtic test will be given shortly.
HORRIBLE MURDER.
The Plattsburgh Sentinel gives full pars ticulars of the murder of Stephen Barber, a well-to-do farmer, living at Belmont, N. Y., and the shooting of his wife on the 29th ult.: On the Thursday preceding a well dressed and rather gentlemanly tramp called at Mr. Barber’s and procured his dinner, and induced them to purchase a coat Of him) for two dollars. In fe Gin Dads cdomantine tee seh — notes amo to abou ; finding no bill small enough, borrowed two dollars of a lady who chanced to be at his house. It is the supposition that this display of money, which may have seemed much ter than it was, 80 aroused the avarice of the tramp that he resolved to commit murder to procure it. On Sunday a little before midnight, Mrs, Barber was awaken Baa mes. lepeetiee seine et head. © was imr e°o pain, and exclaimed “ My ,» What is
2” On looking up she saw & man with a pistol in his hand standing at the door of the bedroom, whom she identified as the tramp who called on them on Thurday.
The first shot aroused the husband to a sitting posture, but before he could have bad time to realize the situation, a second shot followed, the ball striking him on the head, and he fell to the floor exclaiming * Adaline, are you dead?’ He was shot several times while on the floor, twice ex. claiming ‘‘ Adaline, are you dead ?’’ One ball passed through his foot, another through his head, the fatal shot entering near the crown of his head, and passing directly through his brain. Though en-« tirely unconscious he did not expire yntil two o’clock Monday afternoon. Whep the murderer was satisfied he had finished Mr. Barber, he fired a second shot at Mrs. Bar- ber, the ball entering at the root of the nose, passing behind the eye, and lodged near the surface near the temple. He then lighted a match and held it close to
she was dead: She of course feigned uns consciousness, and he left her, no doubt believing her dead, and throwing a sheet over her face, which she did not dare to remove, fearing his return. The tramp took the money (about $20) from the pockets of her husband’s sacked the house. He then decamped, but Mrs. Barber made no demonstrations till about six o’clock in the morning, when she managed to crawl to the road, a dis- tance of twenty-five rods, and lay down on a flat rock, where she was found by persons driving by. ;
The news of the murder, as it spread rapidly through Malona, Chateauguary, and
urrounding country, caused great excites

| ment and general suspension of business. People flocked to the scene of the tragedy by the thousands, The house, besmeared with blood, not only floor. but the ceiling, presented a horrible sight.
The murderer was arrested on the Plattss burg stage, and taken to Malone. It was with difficulty the Sheriff prevented the people from lynching him, Mrs. Barber, who had slightly recovered, fully identified him, and he is held for trial. The coat sold to Mr. Barber was identified as one stolen from a family near the lines, to- gether with several other articles. Some melted silver found on bis person is sup« posed to be parts of services stolen from the Catholic churches of Napierville, Henas mingford, Lacolle and Rouse’s Point.
The tramp gave his name as Joseph Woods, of Montreal, and says he was born in Jreland.

GRIT ECONOMY.
ey
Let us giveafew items in which Mr. Mackenzie and his economical ‘Grit col. leagues may be profitably compared with the administration of Sir John Macdonald's
government. ‘Their increase for the first year For the civil service was............... $25 580
For the administration of justice,... 38,368 For the administration of justice in
their ee00ed . FORE. ...0. cocccccocseses 85,950 For immigration in 1875 6............ 67,273
{n 1873-4 the immigrants coming to this country numbered 36,000, at a cost per head to this country of $7 76, while in 1874-5 the number had decreased to 16,000 at $18.90 per head, and last year the immigrants cost $30.10 per head,
Another method of testing the relative economy of these rival statesmen is to let the people understand what each indi- vidual, young and old, has had to shoulder in the way of public debt under the re- spective governments. The debt per head had increased from $22 50 to $37 93, and the tax per head had increased from $3 50 to $5 76 under the glorious rule ot these economicai statesmen. This ought to help the people to understand the vaiue of those loud professions ot- retrenchment with which Mr. Mackenzie amused the country for so many years,—Londen Free

A suspected servant was arrested in Bos. ton the other day just as she was leaving the house where she had ‘been living. ‘Around her waist was ingeniously fastened a bag containing about fifteen pounds of flour; fastened to ber right hip, by means of a string, was a large iron spider, while the left hip was ornamented with a kero- sone lamp, also fastened by a string. A little beiow this, on her left leg, a can ot kerosene Oil was discovered, Fastened to both legs were pieces of beef and ham cut in slices, all ready to be cooked. Suspended to her right knee bya stout string was a bag containing a quantity of new potatoes ; on the other knee was a similar bag con- taining sweet potatoes. She had probably been taking supplies away from the house in this manner for some time,

Ifa Havre paper may be believed, there was great disappointment in high quarters at mo English vessel being dispatched to Cherbourg on the occasion of the Marsbal s visit. The Sultan and the Northumber- land were four days at Havre when M. Thiers visited that port in 1872, and it is feared that the ommision of such a compli-« menton this occasion will be construed as bespeaking coldness or reserve on the part of England towards the present Gov- ernment. it should, however, be remem<« bered that the custom by which the ruler of a country, when travelling near the fron-~ tier of another State, is greeted on the parts of its head, a custom which the Marshal was eareful to observe when the Emperor William went to Metz, is not strictly applicable to England, whioh does not touch the frontier of any Continental State,
