acres, Deloging to Miss Hattie Harrison
daughter of the late Henry HARRISON, were
sold by John d. Daily, guardian of the
young lady. The sale was made under
an order of the circuit court Of Mcdowell
county, W. Va, the lands being located
in that county. At the sale the $50 acre
tract brought SIS per acre and the 100
acre tract $l2 per acre.
An upset bid was put in, and Judge
Saunders determined to let bids be made
in open court. So, on Monday, the 9th
inst, the bidding began. There were two
rival companies contending for the land
and the bidding was very spirited. The
bids ran up to $40 per acre, when one Of
the bidders asked for postponement Of a
week, which was granted.
Again, OH last Monday, the 10th inst,
the bidding was again opened, and the
$50 acre tract was sold at SIG per acre
and the 100 acre tract at $40 per acre.
This is the best sale that has ever been
made of coal lands in that vicinity, and 1t
makes the ycnng lady, who is only IA
years old, wealthy.

TRIUMPH FOR
SIGNOR MARCONI
Messages Sent Across the Atlantic
Without Wires.
SYSTEM is TO Be IMPROVED
Operator at Cornwall, England, Sends Dis
patches to MarcOni at st. Johns,
New FOundand.
SYSTEM is TO Be IMPROVED

st. Johns, n. F., Dec. l4.-Signor Mar.
conf announced a most scientific discovery
of modern times tonight IN stating that
he had received electric signals across the
Atlantic ocean from his station in Corn
wall, England. He explains that before
leaving England he made plans for ac'
complshing this result for while his pri-
mary object was to communicate with
ocean liners in midocean he also wished to
succeed in attaining the wonderful scien-
tifc achievement of wireless telegraphy
across the Atlantic.
.Signor Marcoui's station in Cornwall is
most powerful. He possessed an electric
force generated there a hundred times
greater than ordinary stations. Before he
left England he arranged that the electri'
clan in charge of the station which is To-
Gated at Poldhu to begin signals daily af-
ter certain date which Signor Marconi
would cable him after having perfected
his arrangement here. Signor Marconi
arrived here a week ago Friday, selected
Signal Hill at the harbOr as an expert
menting station and moved his equipment
there. Last Monday he cabled to the
Poldhu station to begin sending signals at
3 p. H., these hours being respectively
1l:50 and 2;3O p. m, st. Johns time.
During these hours Wednesday Signor
Marconi elevated the kite with an aerial
wire by means Of which signals are sent
and received He had remained at the
recorder attached to the receiving appala.
tus and TO his profound satisfaction sig
nails were received by him at intervals ac-
cording to the program arranged previous
" with the operator at Podhu. These
signals consisted of repeating at intervals
the letter IS" which in Marconi's code is
made by three dots or quick strokes. This
signal was repeated so frequently and SO
in accordance with the plan arranged TO
provide safeguards against possibility of
mistake, that Signor Marconi was satisfied
that it Was genuine transmission from
England.
Again on Thursday, during the same
hours, the kite was elevated and the same
signals were renewed. This made the as
surance So complete that Signor Marconi
cabled to his principals in England and
also Informed the governor Of New Found
land, who apprised the British cabinet of
the success Of the experiments.
Sgnor Marconi, though satisfied of the
genuineness Of the signal, and that he has
succeeded in his attempts in establishing
communication across the Atlantic without
the use of wires, emphasized the fact that
the system is as yet only in embryo stage
and that the possibility of its ultimate de-
yelopmens is demonstrated by the success
of the present experiments with incom-
plete and imperfect apparatus, as the sig
nals can only be received by the most sem
satively adjusted apparatus, and Signor
Marconi is working under great dilIicul.

HEAVY DAMAGE IN PENNSYLVANIA.
Saturdays Storm Causes Loss of Lives
Coal Mines are Flooded.
10000 WORKMEN ARE IDLE.

Philadelphia, Dec. l7.-Advices from
all sections of the eastern half of Pennsyl'
vania, over which Saturday nights storm
ragged furiously, are to the effect that the
waters covering the flooded districts are
receding and that railroad and telegraphlc
communication are slowly being restored.
From Towanda tonight comes the an
nouncement Of three deaths caused by the
food near that town, and the additional
statement that two others will die from
the effects Of exposure. The damage to
property and the pecunlary losS from en-
forced suspension of many industries will
reach many hundreds of thousands OF dol
lars. Dozens of coal mines are flooded
along with hundreds of industrial concerns
located along the waterways, thus throw
ing idle thousands of men. 1t is eslima'
ted that more than 10000 persons have
been rendered idle. The Susquehana
river which rose at some points 80 feet
above low water mark, is going down
gradually except in tt e lower end of the
State where it is reported to be rising two
inches an hour. The late reports from up
river points, however, have allayed fear
and the indications are that the southern
end of the State will suffer little from the
swollen river. The railroad situation is
gradually becoming better Up to five
O'Clock tonight, when the Delaware Lack
awana and Western railroad started a
train for New York, direct communication
with New York was cut off from Scranton
and Wilkesbarre, and trains were sent via
Sunbury, Harrisburg and Philadelphia, a
distance of $50 miles. The direct route is
only 145 miles.
The Central Railroad of New Jersey is
still tied up as far as through service IS
concerned. Trains are being run between
local points.
The Lehigh Valley railroad tonight
opened its through service between Butfa'
10 and New York city by making a deto1r
over branch lines, thus passing around the
flooded district.
