GREAT DISCOVERY.
Marconi Flashes Signals Across the Ocean b,
His Wireless Method.

st. Johns, N. F., Dec. 16.-William
Marconi announced the most wondrous
scientific discovery of modern times in
stating that he had received electric sig-
nails across the Atlantic ocean from his
station in Cornwall, England. He ex-
plains that before leaving England he
made plans for accomplishing this result,
for while his primary object was to COM
municate with ocean liners in mid ocean,
he hoped also to succeed in attaining the
wonderful scientific achievement of wire
less telegraphy across the Atlantic.
Signor Marconi's station in Cornwall
is very powerful. He possesses an cleo
trio force, generated there, hundred
times greater than his ordinary stations.
Before he left England he arranged with
the electrician in charge of the station,
which is located at Poldhu, that signals
should be sent daily after a certain date,
which Signor Marconi would cable him
after having perfected his arrangements
here. Signor Marconi arrived here on
December 6, selected Signal hill, at the
entrance to the harbOr, as an expert
meeting station, and moved his equip
ment there. Last Monday he cabled to
the Pondhu station to begin sending
signals at 8 p. m. daily and to continue
them until 6 p. M, these hours being
respectively IL 80 q. m, and 2 80 p. m,
St. Johns time.
During these hours Wednesday Signor
Marconi elevated kite with an aerial
wire by means of which signals are sent
and received. He remained at the re-
corder attached to the receiving appara-
tus and to his profound satisfaction sig
nails were received by him at intervals,
according to the program arranged pre-
viously with the operator at Poldhu.
These signals consisted of repeating at
intervals the letter ''S I" which in Mar
coni's code is made by three dots or
quick strokes. This signal was repeated
go frequently and so in accordance with
the detailed plan arranged to provide
safeguards against possibility of mistake,
that Signor Marconi was satisfied that
it was genuine transmission from Eng
land.
Assurance Made Complete.
Again on Thursday, during the same
hours, the kite was elevated and the
same signals were received. This made
the assurance 90 complete that Signoz
Marconi cabled to his principals in Eng
land, and also informed the governor 81
Newfoundland, Sir Cavendish Boyle
who apprised the British cabinet of the
success Of the experiment.
New York, Dec. l6. Saturday night
Edward H. Moeran, of this city, senior
counsel for the Marconi Wireless Tele'
graphy Company, confirmed the dispatch
from st. Johns conveying the informa
tion that Marconi had received signell
from the coast of England. He said thu
it means new era in the history Of th'
world.

CAMDEN AS A TRADE CENTER.

The produce war now on in Cam
den is proving a good thing" to
the farmer as well as a drawing
card to the town.
The prices now paid for chickens
and eggs by Camden merchants
are in advance of the city markets
and as a result some of them are
playing loser. Fancy prices are
also being paid for all other pro-
duce brought to town.
This lively competition between
our merchants has been going on
for several months and higher
prices are paid for all kinds Of
country produce than Paris, Hunt
ingdOn, Waverly or any of the sur
rounding towns are paying.
Groceries and staple dry goods
are cheaper and the wise farmer
who has any produce on hand
would be wise to rush it in before
termination Of the fight.
1t is amusing to note the actions
of the merchants on Mondays and
Saturdays. You can notice one
put out sign naming the price he
will pay for produce. The another
one will hang out a card agreeing
to pay a half a cent more. Others
will follow, each increasing the
price from a half cent to two
cents.
Probably more produce has been
brought here this season than ever
before and if the war continues
Camden will eventually get more
than its share of the produce Of the
county and surrounding country.
All the merchants are doing
healthy business, local advertising
is being done freely. In the gro
Gerry line, goods are being bought
by the car load and the markets
watched closely. Trade in hay,
grain and feed stuffs is better than
ever before and handled in whole
sale quantities.

THE GAME OF BALL.
Seminary Boys Defeat the Llgs Green
Flowers Team.

The game Of ball between the
Benton Seminary and Lige Green
Flowers mines was witnessed by a /
good crowd in west Camden Friday
afternoon, resulting in a defeat for
the latter nine, the score standing
at IL to l3 in favor of the Seminary
boys. They had half an inning to
their credit. but did not take adj
vantage Of it.
The game was interesting from
start TO finish and some good play
ing was in evidence. Both sides
submitted TO "goose eggs"
At the third inning the Flowers
nine stood ahead and continued SO
until the eighth INNING when they
grew careless and let the school
boys run in 6 scores and which they
could not overcome in the last In
ming.
McRae and Tucker made home
runs. Tucker, Lewis and Thomp-
son only made one out each during
the game.
Atkins did some bad playing be-
hind the bat in the first inning and
Hawley was weak and exhausted at
the fourth inning. They were put
on bases where they did some splen-
did work, and Thompson and Jor-
dan put in the box and behind the
bat.
Fitzsimmons made an awkward
leap in attempting to reach first,
alighting on Hawley's leg, severely
bruisingit. The game was delayed
for a few minutes when he rallied
and took his position again. Short
ly after this while waiting to 60 to
the bat he was struck on the head
by a swift foul and when at the bat
was hit on the wrist by pitcher
Goodman, after which series Of ac-
cidents he retired from the game.
Townsend left from behind the
bat early in the game and took first
base. Harrison succeeded him and
didsome excellentcatching. Good
man made bad play III the latter
part of the game, failing to catch
an easy fair strike and letting the
batter make first.
w. I. Morris umpired until the
seventh inning when he left the
field and w. L. Morris took his
place. Two decisions Of the latter
umpire were contested by Good
man, one of which was probably
wrong, but the umpire would not
reverse his decision after having
made it.
Griggs failed to make a score
He and Pafford both did bad play
ing.
The players and their positions
were as follows:
