station The tests started soon after the Antilles started on her journey.
 Voice Is Heard.

It wasn't long before wireless men waiting for ordinary radiograms be- sEan to hear through their receivers the voice of Caruso and. the sound of man talking and counting slowly and deliberately. They knew of course that they were picking up wireless telephone tests and then they started to wireless around to find out at what station the experiments were being made.
 When the word got around that the Wanamaker store in New York was communicating by wireless telephone to the Philadelphia store, Messrs. Hart and Campbell began to receive in- quiries by old fashioned telephone as to what was going on. It wasn't in- tended that the news should get out prematurely and consequently the young engineers wouldn't go into de- tails Will Cash, Johp Wanamaker's S contract manager. was also lOath to talk about the events of the day, but later he issued statement confirming the success of the tests.
 All the Messages Verified. There was sending only and no re- ceiving in the experimenting here. Af- ter a message had been sent out, the operator in the Philadelphia store would reply by radio-telegraphy that Iit had been received and then he lIv.ould repeat what was said. He didn't attempt to initiate Caruso, how ever. t#
 The operatic music was sent on it's way to delight the ears of operators aboard ships by placing the trumpet of a phonograph close against the sender of the telephone apparatus. The same receiver as for wireless telegra phy is used in wireless tele- l'hony.
 The Atlantic Communication com panys station at Sayville didn't hear the concert because it wasn't listening, but it's operator did pick up a tele- phonic' message sent by MT. Hart to MT. Sarnoff aboard the Antilles.
 Chief Engineer F. M. Sammfs of the Marconi company said last night that the tests between New York and Philadelphia were a success.
 The Marconi company received a cable despatch yesterday from William Marconi in England that he had com pleted his wireless telephone tests and that the apparatus was an entire suc- cess. The British company will now begin construction of sets for the 1taI- ian navy. They are guaranteed to maintain communication between ships over distance of about thirty two miles, although in practice they have been tried successfully over a much greater distance.

BURNED TO THE GROUND AND
HUMAN LIFE LOST
Home of Alexander Easier Destroyed and
Samuel Easier Victim of the Flames

a fire unusually horrible because Of
the perishing Of a human being IN the
flames, was discovered about . o'clock
Friday morning by Mr. and Mrs. Alex
ander Easier in the ell Of their home
on the outskirts OF -Howhegan. The
house, shed and stable were completely
destroyed and Samuel Easier, a cousin
of Mr. Easier, was the victim who lost
his life. Nearly all the furniture was
burned, as was about six tons Of hay
and part of the hens. The COW and
horse were saved aud there was an
insurance. the total amount Of which.
including the animals which were say
ed and all the furniture, Was
$4,000. The buildings were old land
marks in Skowhegan, having formerly
been occupied by Dr. Mann, long since
dead, but was well known in different
sections Of Maine as a physician.
The remains Of a human corpse
smoking in the cellar. the remnants of
charred wood still smoldering. and a
few articles of furniture saved from
the early morning con1agraton, told a
pathetic as well as horrible story TO
the many curious, but friendly, people
who viewed the sight Friday Mrs.
Easier had been alone during the day

Samuel Easier, who was cousin of
the husband, and rather feeble-minded,
After finishing a washing, she allowed

fire, a cold supper being eaten by the
household. The first intimation of a

Easier, who at about the hour pre-
viously mentioned detected a cracking
sound and awakened her husband. A
hasty investigation revealed the fact
that the ell of the house was all ablaze
They occupied a room on the first
floor and Nh Easier at once bethought
himself of the unfortunate cousin in

A strange woman, who has been seen

thought she may have been the cause
