Progress in Wireless TeIesraphy.

Experiments in wireless telegraphv
by the United States weather bureau
have resulted in the completion of a
station at Roanoke Island by which.
1t is asserted, ships at sea can be sig
nailed at distance of 500 miles. Sim
liar stations will be immediately
erected at Cape Hatteras and Cape
Henry.
From an experimental station on
Cobbs Island, between 60 and 20
miles below Washington, in the Poto-
mac river, messages have been sue.
cessfully transmitted over a rough
country to Washington. Willis l..
Moore, chief of the weather bureau,
says this test demonstrates beyond
doubt the practicability of the service.
Mr.. Moore speaks very enthusiast
tically of the work of his bureau. He
says the methods used have been
original with the government experts.
and his system is distinct from that
OF Marconi. Messages have been sue
cessfully sent from a staff only three
feet high, although towers have also
been used. The details of the gov.
eminent system are withheld by Mr..
Moore, He is not willing to vouch
for the practical commercial use Of
wireless telegraph on land. The
speed of the electric waves is practi-
cally the same as light, and is consid-
cred to be slightly slower than the
transmission over a wire.
Prof John A Fleming, lecturing at
Liverpool recently, said he had Sig.
nor MarcOnis permission to make
first mention of the fact that on the
first day of the reign of King Edward
VII, he, Marconi, accomplished the
astonishing feat of sending wireless
messages between st. Catherine, Isle
of Wight, and the Lizard 200 miles.
Perfect communication between the
two points has since been established.

Found Dead in Ash Barrel.

The body of James Monahan, Z
years old, missing from his home in
Cambridge, Mass, over a week, was
found in an ash barrel in the rear of
a factory in WATERFOWL, Mass, Sun
day. The boy left home to carry his
fathers dinner, the father being en-
ployed at the Watertown arsenal, and
it is supposed that he wandered away,
as the body was found four miles from
home. The police hold to the opinion
that after becoming tired out from
walking, the boy crawled into the
empty barrel for shelter, fell asleep
and froze to death.

Is NOMINATED
Democratic Senatorial Conven-
ton Unlike Representative
Convention Held at Spencer,
in That Harmony Prevailed

Special to The Spy.
Spencer, Oct. 12.-Unlike the Democratic
representative convention held in Leices-
ter last Wednesday night, the Democratic
senatorial convention, held in Caucus Hall
this afternoon was harmonious from start
to finish. The delegates from the differ
ent towns turned out in goodly numbers,
and the convention will go on record as
being the largest gathering of Democrats
to nominate a man for senator from this
district that has been held for more than
eight years.
Eugene D. Marchessault was elected
chairman and Charles T. Barton secre-
tary of the meeting. When these two
minor duties We're attended to the chair
man announced that nominations were in
order. Immediately the name of Joseph
T. Love of Webster was mentioned and
as soon as the motion was seconded and
put it was carried unanimously.
Mr.. Love made a lengthy speech, in
which he told of the duties of the Demo-
Gratis in this district during the coming
campaign. Mr.. Love stated that the party
was now dependent on the younger gen
Grafton, and it was the duty of every
Democrat to see that the young men in
this district were influenced by the good
example of their fathers and friends to
vote the right way at the coming election.
"Give them to understand" he said,
chat when we are elected we will strive
to do what is right and just. More than
that, we will show them, when we are
elected, that we are looking after the fu-
ture good Of a great people"

shouts were heard coming from the di-
rection of Sudbury Street hill. In a mo-
ment a crowd of roisterers emerged
from around the corner of Eden Street
and with many shouts of laughter and
snatches of songs they wendell their
way down the hill. This crowd seem
ingly did not have so much of the fiery
liquor aboard as did the quieter but
most cumbersome party that preceded
it. When the second crowd reached
the glare OF the electric lights on Main
Street the curious onlookers were rath-
err taken aback upon seeing three we'll
dressed apparently respectable young
men in the company of four colored
girls.
The young men did not seem highly
pleased with the situation when they
faced the people at the corner of Sud-
bury and Main Streets, but they put
on a braZen face and marched airily
down Main Street, with occasional
jokes and gibes. followed by roars of
laughter. The party continued down
to Pleasant Street and turned off in
the direction of the Chinese restaurant,
where the colored girls have been max
ing their headquarters.
The house, which nightly sends forth
this conglomeration of disease-breeding
people, and is no doubt in a great
measure responsible for the downfall
of many of the young men about town.
IS situated on Eden Street. Some time
ago white man, who claimed Boston
as his home, reported at Station l that
he had been relieved of his money at
a house near the police station He
did not know the street or the number
of the house, but said he could lead
the officers to the place. The man was
convinced at the police station that he
lost no money, and he departed without
lodging a complaint. He told his story
to two reporters later and brought
them to the house, which was on Eden
Street.
When the man and the reporters ar
rived at the house, about Is or IS col
ored men were seen coming from the
place. The Bostonian said that they
had been gambling at the house all
night and that he had been relieved of
what money he had in his possession.
IHe was intoxicated when he went
there, but when he discovered his
money gone, he was sobered to a great
extent.

are menace to the health of the
younger people of Worcester. Organize
