Dexertption of the New Patented Proce ows by Which All Threo Aro Cheaply Secured. New Fork Wortd, tg. 2, Severs] months ago a serles of tests were annde on the Long Istand Rullrond, between College Polut and Whitestone, to propel rallroad englites by 8 hydro-carbon process, Invented and patented by Charles Holland, M.D,, of Chivago, Although tho tests were madounder disadsantages, they were pro- nounced by the railroad men and engineers who witnessed thom entirely stecessfil, and the result of the experiments was the fore nition of the New York Heat, Lleht, and Power Company, with a capital of $5,000,000 in §100 shares. M.D. De Mare shall was cleated President aud Mr. Stephen Kelly Sveretary, 3. Lounsbery & Hageln, bankers, at 3 18 Wall streect, were appolnted the finnnclal agents of the Company. ‘The abject of tho Company ts to introduce thelr process, unidur the direction of Dr, Holinnd, Into houses for cooking and heathg purposer,. and to develop its apple eation fo focomatlves and steamships, Is elamed that by Its use rallrond anid steam- ship companies will obtain better results at Jess than hal the cost of coah besides doing away entirely with the smoke anid sulphur ous i .

W. Houehin & Son. who have charge of the setting up of the machines, expect to be ready to fit up engines permanently in about, thirty days. The Company has bought a bran-new coal-burning engine and will fit it up with thelr process and fonn it to any rall- road company that may desire totest it, Five companies have already stated that they Will use the process us soon as the Company is feady to Supls, then with machines. Dr. Holland safd toa reporter of the World yesterday that the Company could fit up any coul-burning locomotive with Hts machines fora of about $100, but that when new ehelnes were bullt on his plan there would be a saving of from 83,000 to $4,000 in the east of each engine, and more heating surface would be acquired. Another polnt’ in favor of the hydro-earbon machine Is the saying of steam by doing away with the Jet, as there ts no necessity for the strong current of air now used to help the fire, With fifty gallons of naphtha and a shnilar quantity of water an engine can be run for 100 miles without stop- ping at the cost of about 3!¢ cents per mile, while the minimum price of coal burning en- gines Is 734 cents per mile.“ Dufing the last thirty years,” said Dr. Hollant, the loss by fire exused by sparks from locomotives Is es- timated at $100,000,000, With my process there can be no such loss, as there are no sparks. The loss of life caused by, passengers inhaling smoke and sulphurous gases cannot well be estimated, but it will be done away with entirely, The rolllng-stock of the railroad companies fs more or less damaged by the saine sases, and requires to be'sent to the shops perlodic- ally for repute By using the hydro-rarbon retort rolling-stock will lust Jonger. It Is a fact that the cost of. coal in the running of a rallway fs half the expenses with this process It Wil be reduced more than 50 per cent. In the event of « collision there would be no ears burned up, because the coneussion would extingulsh the fire. In_ the winter we ean conduct steam through theears fur heat- ing purposes, aud in the suniner we ean throw all the steam we do not require under the engine on to the track, where it will assist In Joying the dust.

New York World, Aug. 2, The visttors to the Brooklyn Driving Park yesterday afternoon had a novel display set before them In the rifie and pistol shooting of Dr. John Ituth and Mra. Ruth.

Mrs. Ruth ts a lady witha very intich tanned conplexton and the car- rluge of a backwoods woman, Yesterday she wore a ‘sortoft Galnsborouch hat, and when handling the pistol or rifle did not even take the trouble to remove her Inco mnitts, ‘There was a fair-sized crowd present, Ineluding a number of Indies, Capt. 1, C. Bruce, the celebrated rifie-shot; , 44. Wingate, the Secretary and one of the eracks of the Fountain Gun Club; T. G. Banks, nnd other expert shooters, were pres- ent, and watched the performance nurrowly. Mrs, Ituth began the banging and the hit ting by aliming with (iste! at glass balls, and they were shattered in almostevery case, With the pistol held sideways there was a miss or two inore, but generally every shot told. When the pistol was Inverted and tho alin taken below instead of above the line of tira there was no apparent. loss in the pereentarco of hi When the ball was hung by a string and set swinging Mrs. Ruth stood eighteen yards otf and made a clean break on her firat shot, ‘The rile was then handled through hes series of shots, and the usnal want e With which ali women handle guns was apparent. When the balls were thrown up In the air Mrs, Ruth stood a good distanco off and shattered a dozen out of the fifteen, and this feature when oncored was equally as good, White the Indy, shooter chatted with the Jade spectators Dr. Ruth begun to show Mis ablilty as a snap shot. The sights of tha rifle seemed to he of no spectal assistance to him, for when they were covered by a cord he the weapon on balls placed on a and again at the glass spheres thrown Into the alr with wonderful effect. Some balls were thrown on the ground a dozen yards off, sud the Doctor, alinlng at tho cround betow a ball, would: send it spinning up into the air, and then rapidly unloading and loading his piece, would hit the ball on its descent. This double shooting drew out plenty of applause. Again, when the balls were thrown tp tho rifle was given a tum about after the manner of a ttail-handle and it fell Into position soon enough to enable a brenkhiz shot to be made on. the ball. “Balls thrown trom side to side were hit, whether eomlng from the rightor left. When tired of breaking glassware, Dr. Ruth picked up a fruginent of glass, nnd, stepphiug olf n dozen pices, held tof in his fingers, while Mrs. Ruth picking up a sinall-bore rifle, took careful niin and the lass was shattered Into powder, With an ordinary visiting eard held in his anouth, and turned: so as to show a side, Dre Ruth permitted his wife to put several bul- wit each it, the palr fol lng meanwhilo In, with cach ther, the shooter telling the target to draw back’ his nose a little ns it was too shining a murk and distracted her sight, Dr. Ruth wished to puta glass ball on his head and allow his wife to break it with a bullet, but she declared that she was tired of stand= fog In the sin, and this very ordinary Wil fam Tell trick was omitted. A, loaded curs tridge was fnic ona blt of plank some yards. off, and Mrs, Ruth fired a bullet at it aid ex- ploded it, Dozens of other and similar bens of testing the quickness of sight and steadl- ness of nerve of the shooters were linpro~ vised, and generally it was found that any» its, peated, but a fraudulent acting President yeloed tho repeal?
