THE RURAL NEW-YORKER. 
Ills name la not Keely this time, but Franc Is 
Winters, Jr., and he lives In New York Instead of 
Philadelphia, but his newly-discovered motor 
looks to the uninitiated marvelously like that ad¬ 
vertised under the former name. The contriv¬ 
ance In which It Is gonerated consists of two 
chambers, a few pumps and valves. Into one 
cylinder water Is poured, the pumps are set a-go- 
lng, and straightway In the other cylinder there 
Is something found which burns like gas, but In 
whose odorless tlame the hand can be hold with¬ 
out burning, which neither explodes nor gener¬ 
ates friction, heat., or moisture; and which, at 
half the cost or steam, will do all that steam can 
do. Its Inventor lias organized a company with a 
capital of Ito.omi.nno. onc-cigbth of which Is said 
to he already subscribed. He proposes to store 
his power, or motor, lu a huge reservoir or tank 
that wont explode under a pressure of 1,000 
pounds to the square inch, and peddle it out 
through pipes wherever It 13 wanted. 
The Poston Belting company, ruined by Tap- 
pan, is going Into bankruptcy. But for his mls- 
appropalatlon of funds the company would be 
clear of debt with a surplus or *250,000. The 
business will be resumed with a new company. 
The New York Belting and Packing Co., which he 
also swindled heavily, has compromised with its 
creditors. It will pay in full, In Installments, 
during three years. Efforts are being made to 
bring the defaulter to trial criminally; but-well, 
he has rich and Influential friends and rclattves. 
New England has lately spawned a number of 
first-class swindlers, such as Pond, Grace, Hatha¬ 
way, Winslow, Sibley, Wright, Jackson and Tap- 
pan, all thoroughbred Yankees, and, of course, 
all strait-laced Pharasees. Be careful about giv¬ 
ing change for $100 bills of the Pittsfield, Mass, 
National Bank, as there Is an excellent counter¬ 
feit or them m circulation, it has already cost 
nearly *300,000 to look after the wreck of Jay 
Cooke’s property. Unless the matter Is closed up 
soon, lawyers, receivers, etc., will pocket every 
cent of the assets, leaving nothing for the long- 
suffertngcreditors. The State Treasurer, Gates, of 
Mo., is accused of cheating the State out of $250,000, 
by depositing $ 300,000 in a national bank whose 
president is one of Ills bondsmen, Just before It 
failed and paid only go per cent, to Its creditors. 
His whole accounts are In an unsatisfactory con¬ 
dition. It Is said that Secretary Kehur/’s decision 
about Pad tic railroad grants is to be opposed In 
the courts on the ground that the law says: "It 
the lands shall no* bo sold or otherwise disposed 
of within three years," they shall be subject to 
settlement or preemption. It Is held that as the 
lands are mortgaged, they have been "otherwise 
disposed of.” Tln re Is going to bo a great strike 
in the Pennsylvania coal regions! There will be 
no strike tills year In the Pennsylvania coal re¬ 
gions! A st rike la the Pennsylvania coal region 
Is at present Impossible, but it will come latcron! 
All these reports arc on excellent authority!!! 
FOREIGN. 
The two conservative factions on which the 
government mainly relied In the last assembly 
were TT strong in the old House uow they muster 
93; the two liberal factions wliteh In the old House 
numbered 103 among whom the moderate 
men generally voted with the Government, 
now number 110; the ultramontanes formerly 
numbered 9s aud uow they amount to 90. Slxty- 
two second ballots will be necessary and from 
these cl chitons each parly will doubtless obtalu 
some gains. But In any case Bismarck will not 
have a majority and must appeal to the moder¬ 
ate liberals or ultramontanes, and very probably 
It will be to the latter. 
In England, during the week, there has been an 
aerlinoiilouH debate In Parliament on the late 
treaty of Berlin, and also In conjunction there¬ 
with, on the responsibilities England has undet- 
taken In the East. Hud the Government been 
hard pressed, Beaconsfleld would have dissolved 
Parliament, appealed for support to the country, 
and would, In the present state of popular en¬ 
thusiasm, have secured an overwhelming Con¬ 
servative majority. When the vote reflecting 
censure on the Ministry, however, came to he 
taken on last Friday evening, it was rejected by 
388 to 1J>5. on Saturday, Beaconsfleld and Salis¬ 
bury were feasted and fvtod by the i.ord Mayor of 
London, and In Ids aftor-dluuer speech the Pre¬ 
mier disclaimed any Intention of udvlslug ller 
Majesty to dissolve Parliament at present. 
Home four or five weeks ago, it was here related 
how Bismarck found the German Reichstag uoi 
quite ns obedient, as he desired, and how bellcv- 
lugthat the attempts on the Emperor’s life had 
roused a warm feeling of grateful loyalty through¬ 
out "fatherland," the why diplomat dissolved 
the unruly assembly in the expectation that the 
people would send back anotuer more amenable 
to reason—of the Blsniureklan type. The elections 
have just taken place, and from present returns 
it would seem that these flattering expectations 
were somewhat, delusive. 
The Papal Nuncio at Munich has had several 
conferences with the great Chancellor, at Kls- 
slugen, and It Is well understood that peace Is to 
be re-established her,ween Berlin aud Kotno. in 
the latter city Cardinal Kranchl, chief mlulstero 1 
the Pope, and the most powerful of his compelU 
tors for the Mara, Is dead, and has been succeeded 
by Cardinal de Luca, 
Kaurtoutlon of the treaty of Berllu has beeu ex¬ 
changed between all the Powers except Turkey. 
Austrian troops have entered Bosnia, and are 
meeting with a guerrilla resist;noe from the in¬ 
habitants. Italians, It Is said, are encouraging 
this opposition to their old enemy, Austria, and 
the feeling between the two governments Is re¬ 
ported to be growing bitter. 
Hervhi Is discontented at the name of a princi¬ 
pality and wants to he called a kingdom. The 
MarquiH of Lome, queen victoria's son-in-law, 
and tho newly appointed Governor-General of 
Canada, will not cross the Atlantic until some 
time In November, alter the Canadian elections— 
meanwhile the commander of the forces wlll act 
as his substitute, Herman.
