Admiral Evans, commander OF the great
fleet Of battleships now on their way to
the other side OF the world, can sit In
his cabin on the flagship Connecticut and
converse with Admiral Emory or Admiral
Thomas or Capt. McCrea or the captains
of any Of the other ships. just as the Sec
retary Of the Navy in Washington can
talk with the White House or the navy
yard or the marine barracks. This is
done by telephone, by utilizing the waves
of electricity that are constantly pass
ing through the air above the surface OF
the water. Or. If gale is blowing or
thunderstorm should disturb the electrical
conditions Of the atmosphere, he can COM
municate under water with the different
members Of the fleet by means Of curl
Gus apparatus attached to the bottoms OF
the ship by the Submarine Signal Com
pany. This is the first practical applica-
ton of the wireless telephone and sub
marine signals in the history Of the SCI
ence Of navigation. and the experiments
thus far have produced results that are
almost incredible. For the first time
since the waters of the sea were placed
under the dominion of man the command
er of a feet can give his orders silently
and secretly into a mechanical apparatus
and have them communicated instantly
and accurately to the subordinates for
whom they are intended.
This seems like fairy story, but it is
true as gospel. 1t is asking almost too
much OF the human credulity to believe
that a man can sit in the cabin of one
ship and converse across the water with
a man in the cabin of another ship. with
out even wire-Without anything but
atmosphere and water between them. But
Admiral Evans reports daily to the de-
partment that the wireless system is al
most a perfect success.
What do you suppose Sir Walter
Raleigh or Capt. John Drake. Horatio
Nelson or John Paul Jones, who used to
stand upon their slippery decks believing
their orders through trumpets. would say
IL they were invited into the chart room
Of the Connecticut to receive a message
from Admiral ''Bill' Emory over the eiec-
trio waves? But wonders never cease.
When Prof. Bell gave his first experiment
with the telephone at Lincoln Hall in
1877 the public were even more incredu-
lous concerning the practical utilization
OF electricity than they are today. When
Prof. Morse sent his first message from
Baltimore to Washington. on the lst of
May. 1874. announcing the nomination of
Henry Clay for President by the whig
convention. it was considered a miracle.

Use Of Wireless Telegraph.

The wireless telegraph is now practi-
cally in general use. / have book OF
ninety-three pages containing a list of
cities and ships which can be reached
by wireless messages. and the signals
that belong to each. If you want to COM
.municate with any ship at sea or any
lighthouse or life-saving station, or wire
less telegraph office on land, all you have
to do is to look for the "calT' letter in
that book. just as you would look up the
number OF your neighbor In the telephone
send your message. Every merchant ship
now equipped with wireless instruments
and they can talk with each other as they
pass in the night. and with the different
stations on shore. On every transatlantic
liner there Is a telegraph operator these
days. just as there Is In every hotel He
takes messages from the passengers who
pay him the regular charge. SO much
word, and sends them to their destina-
ton over the water just as he might do
over the land. And any one wishing to
communicate with friend who is en-
route to Europe or is homeward bound on
the Atlantic can reach him just as easily
as II he were in Chicago o. New York.
Each ship has its own signal. and there
Is lookout ready to respond whenever
1t is heard. On men-ofwar Signal
Corps men do this business and keep

The Wireless Telephone.

The wireless telephone is a develop
ment OF the wireless telegraph. just as
the wire telephone is a development Of
the ordinary telegraph. A dynamo acts
as a source of power, and is attached to
an apparatus that is SO delicate of con-
struction. so sensitive to sound. that II
can detect and magnify every disturbance
or variation In the regular oscillation Of
the electric waves. These waves carry
sound for an indefinite distance, and when
one that is loaded with a sound strikes
the receiver. the operator on duty hears
it and takes notice OF Its meaning.
The method for sending a message from
one ship to another is simple. On the
right Of the apparatus Is a telegraph
key. which can be used in the ordinary
manner with the Morse signals to trans
NIT q sound over the electric waves eX-
actly as Is done continuously over wires.
The air in this case rs a substitute for the
wire. The signal is recognized py the
lookout OH the ship for which IL IS IN
tended and when he gets his receiving ap-
paratus in action the transmitter carries
the message to him.
The first set of wireless telephone in
struments ever used for practicaI pur-
poses at sea are installed upon the six

Row Between TrampS.

Considerable excitement was caused
here Friday night about ten o'clock by
the report that man had been stabbed
at the Pennsylvania Railroad station,
Sheriff Stroup was hastily summoned
and found man who was bleeding pro-
fusely from wound in his neck just un-
der his right ear. The man was brought
TO DR.. J. c. Dunn's office where the doc
tor dressed his wound, which was only
cut through the skin. However, the
doctor states that had the cut been quar-
ter inch deeper it would have reached the
jugular vein, The man gave his name as
George Gray or Green, his home as
Greenburg, Pa, and said he had been
employed at the Westinghouse works,
near Pittsburg. He said he was walking
down the track when two men grabbed
him from behind, one of whom drew a
knife across his neck while the other took
his pocketbook, which contained $l7 90 in
money and papers. He broke away from
them and said he had run into the river
to make his escape, as he was wet from
head to foot and had no hat. The man
was put in the Jail oyer night and Satur-
day afternoon started on foot toward Oil
City. The affair was probably nothing
more than row between few knights
of the bumpers, as resident of Eagle
Rock informed us Monday evening that
the man with his throat cut (?) and five
other hobos had been loafing about that
place since Saturday. A gang of three or
four of these chaps was about the station
here all of Friday night.

MINISTER CUTS wIFE,s THROAT.
Rev. 5. A. COffmau, Formerly of West
Hickory, Kills His Wife in
FIJI of Insanity.

A press dispatch under date of May lS
from Fairmont, w. Va, gives the par
ticulsrs of a horrible tragedy which was
enacted near that place, the principals
being Rev. s. A. Coffman, who was To-
Gated at West Hickory during the year
1907, and his wife, whose throat he cut
from ear to ear. Rev. Mr.. Coffman
preached at West Hickory, East Hickory
and Whig Hill, and while he was thought
to be somewhat peculiar at times, none
of his friends ever imagined such ter
rible ending OF his career. Mrs. Coff-
man, previous to her marriage, was Miss
Lillian Elliott, and her home was near
Fairmont, which was also Mr.. Coffman's
former home. She was woman or more
than ordinarily brilliant attainments and
had been educated for the missionary
work. Her friends at West Hickory all
speak OF her in highest terms of praise,
and her awful death was a great shock to
the community. She was united in mar
riage to Mr.. Coffman in July, 1906, there
being something of romance connected
with their marriage. Her age was about
45 years and besides her husband she is
survived by several brothers and sisters.
Mr.. Coffman's mother resided with them
while they were at West Hickory. The
dispatch follows:
Rev. S. A. Coffman, aged so, one of the
best known Methodist Episcopal clergy
men in this district, killed his wife this
morning In fit of insanity. When he
cut her throat he Immediately became
sane, and is now under arrest. Coffman
resides at Rosstown, and has charge of
two or three churches. His wife was a
member of a prominent family. The
past week Coffman has conducted a series
of revival services and finished Sunday
apparently we'll pleased with his work.
Early this morning he attacked his wife
with poker, striking her over the head,
The woman escaped and ran to the rear
yard, followed by her husband, who over
powered her and cut her throat from ear
to ear. According to the statement OF
Coffman when he looked at the lifeless
body of his wife reason was instantly re-
stored and he realized what he had done,
He told the police it had been his inten-
tion to kill his wife, family and himself.

Residence of John A. Dawson Burned.

The spacious and mfortable home o.
John A. Dawson, at Stewart Run, about
We miles from Tionesta on the Pleasant.
vile road, was completely destroyed by
a fire which broke out about two O'Clock
Saturday morning last, presumably from
an exploding lamp. Had it not been fol
valuable dog which was kept in the
house at night and which awakened Mr..
Dawson's son, George r. e. Dawson, the
entire family would have been burned to
death. The house was occupied by Mr.,
and Mrs. John A. Dawson, who slept in
room on the lower floor. and by Mr.. and
Mrs. George Dawson and their five chill
dren, three of the latter, with their par
ents, occupying large room on the sec
ond floor. On the dresser in this room
was kept a burning lamp, which was the
only fire in the house. Just how the fire
caught is not known, but George was
awakened by the peculiar whining of the
dog, which was walking back and forth
at the foot of their bed. Springing from
the bed he called to his wife and they
carried the children down stairs, awak-
ened the older people, and all escaped
without injury. When he was awak ened
George says that the entire partition
against which the dresser stood was on
fire and in few minutes the flames
would hsye enveloped the bed of two of
hn mi ri 10 70 mill u
out he returned to the room but could not
remain on account of the dense smoke.
Seeing that all hope of saving the house
was gone every energy was put forth to
save part of their clothing, which they
were able to do. All the furniture was
burned with the house. The families
of f. NJ. Hoovler and Elmer Bortzer,
who live nearby, were aroused and rem
dered valuable assistance in saving prop
erty. A little store building near the
house was sayed by spreading blankets
over it, and the work of bucket brigade.
The loss will be about $1,000, with $1,000
insurance on the building and 800 on
the contents. They will rebuild at once.
The house was one of the historic old
mansions of the neighborhood, having
been built sixty-two years ago by James
Dawson, father of John A., and was
throughly oyerhauled and repaired last
year. 1t has been occupied continuously
by the latter for the past thirty-six years.
James Dawson bought the farm in 1910,
and erected the first grist mill in this
section, which is still standing. He was
also veteran of the war of 1872.
The canine hero cost 500. He is a
bird dog and was purchased from G. A.
Lanson, of Tionests, by George Watts,
of New York city, cousin of George
Daw son, with whom he spends the hunt
ing season each year. The dog was al
ways permitted to sleep at the head OF
the stairs.
