St. Louis, Jan 2 The heavy rain storm of yesterday and last night sadlj demoralized all kinds of eleo trie wires in this city, and it was not until after midnight last night that they were brought into proper work ing order. The telephone was espe- cully exasperating, it being almost impossible to get communications orer it, and several serious aecidenU were occasioned by tbe electric light wires. About eight o clock in the evening the electric light wires fell to tbe ground at the corner of Seventh and Morgan streets. A few mo ments after Mr. and Mrs. Smith and their dog passed the corn er The dog touched the wire and waa a corpse in a j ffy. Mrs. Smith ran to the dog, and not seeing the wire stepped on it and was thrown some distance and fell unconscious. Her husband sprang to pick her np end received a severe shock, but was not rendered insensible. Mrs. Smith was restored to consciousness by a phyai man, but had . narrow escape ixoi death. A crowd collected, and some coming in contact with the wires were knocked insensible. A fireman named Hogan rushed to the rescue and was very severely chocked. One was so badlv hurt that he was sent to the city hospital. A' horse was killed by stepping on a fallen wire on the cor ner cf Yandtventer and nnnej ave nue, and several other minor acci dents occorred.in different parti of the city. , f ' " (-,'. . ' ; .

THS BIO BO ARC K I CABAL gMTKBFBISB UBDIB WAT Weldon New, ; . Yesterday, the first day of January, 1830, marks, we hope, the bf ginning of a new era of growth and prosperity to Weldon and this entire section of couatry.for yesieidy begaa the long hoped for bat long deferred develop ment of the great water power which ia capable of putting e zteen thoosat d horse power into operation a&d mov ing the macbiutery of numberless : mills and factories. The company has determined to build the canal at I ones, and saya thst wwrk which be gun yesterday thall not eeaee until part of Roanoke river ebali be di verted from its natural ehaanel and brought around the fails to this place. In reply to their advertisement the company reoeived several bids for clearing off the right of way, but de clined them all and decided to do that work themstlver. They scoured the services of Mr. Morton Riddle, of Petersburg, as superintendent. Mr. Riddle some years ago was extensive ly encaged in the lumber business at Orowehe, in this county, ia which he was eminently successful. Mr. Bid die is br re cow attending his work tie iq'o. mal us that ; he began yes- cerday with ten hands, but cxp&ors to I lucreiwe tne numoer to miriy m a day or two. With these he will clear eff aid nuko ready for excavation that aeotion cf tbe canal lying betweeu Weidon and the a qae- daot, a dietsnoe of about oae mile. He expects t o omp'.ete this part of the work within three weeks, unless prevented by bad weather. Br the first of February the eompany in tends to begin excavating this portion ox me canal so that it may be ocm- pleted before warm weather, in order that the health of the town may not ha afTeAtnrl Ai loon as this portbn ii ready for excavation Mr. Biddl will bojia work on the remaining pot tion of the canal a distance of about seven miles. He will then watt about one hundred hands, for which he pays forty eenta a day and rationr, or fifty cents a day without rations. It is not known how long; ha will be em ployed in this part ot the work, but mj mm wuw wane wrn hwBub. When this is done the engineer! will i iv,. --. n-I. w I lay off the ground eavation and the company saya it will be pushed vigorously uatu tbe canal is opened from its head to thia place and water to tha extent of 1,600 horse power is flowing through it. The company intends to widen tha canal fronttima to time aathe water may be in demand. .The preseui - wtatu of the canal will be thirty-five feet at the top, twenty-three feet at the bot tom and an average dpth of four feet. .. - . The Seaboard Railroad Company, whose tracks cross the canal just on the edge of town, has been notified to lengthen its bridge to seventy feet. We understand the railroad intends to put an iron bridge that length across the canal- It will probably coat ten thousand dollars. It is not known whether the work of excavation will be dona by the Canal Company itself or will be let to contract. In either event from one to three hundred hands will be em ployed, whiob, in itself, will be of great benefit to many. , : The Company intends to erect this summer at this plaee a brick mill with a capacity of 2,000 bushels cf corn a day, and before January lat, 1891. Weldon will be a manufacturing town with a future uncqaaled in brilliancy. It is earnestly hoped by the people of this community thst no nuseen ob stacle willbrtvdnt the fulfillment of their long cherished hopes. Strst Ktssafe by Wire.

A special from Auburn, N Y , says: The special commission appointed to test the efficacy of the electrical macbwies which Harold P. Brown has sold to the 8tate to be used in put-' j ting murderers to death arrived in this city at 7 o'clock this morning. When the committee was asked if reporters would be allowed to witness the test of the electrical machines the members smiled and said: "Yes, if they will allow themselves to be plaoed in the chair." When making tests of-the machine in Sing Sing prison last week, reporters from New Y rk newspapers were admitted, but they wrote such sensational accounts of the tests that tha commission waa shocked. The commission thereupon decided that no reporters should be allowed to witness any more of these tests. This information was pleas antly communicated by Dr. MacDon ald, this morning. Dr. MacDonald said that the Commission simply de sired to ascertain whether the ma chine possessed tha voltage called for by the State's ; contract with Mr. Brown. Mr. Brown had nothing whatever to do with the tests. The Commission will make an official re port of the teiti to Geo. Lathrop. The work of tea tins: the inaohinery was begun early, but the dynamo had been in motion only a few momenta when one of the steel pulleys broke and the test had to be postponed un til thia afternoon. rnis afternoon the commission pur- cuas lased an old horse and a four-weeks- old ca?f, and took them into the prison. The animals were electrified, and thia evening Dr. MacDonald de- ;i a j., Tii. 1 1 . . . reporters. He aaid that they were very successful, and hsd demons rery successful, and had demonstrated that the alternating current possessed the power to causa death instantane ously. The old horse waa killed firflt. A quantity of cotton waste waa fastened to his head and around his right hind leg jast below the gambol -int. Then the wires were attached ana tne current lurnea on. xne eon tact of the current with tha body waa lees than half a minute, and he was killed instantly. Thecurrent registered about oife . thousand volts. DrJIaeDonald said that thia confirmed' an experiment ; which he and Dr. Rockwell had had with horse at Edison's la boratory last summer. The' horse killed then did not struggle. 'The horse killed today was despatched as effectually. In the ease of the calf the current was of the aame voltaee eoonds. Aa aoom aa the calf fell over Dr. Fell went to work on ita body to see u animation bad simply sus pended. He performed the operation of tracheotomy, opening the wind pipe and applying hia patent resusci tating apparatus. An artificial respi ration was kept np for half an hour, but there was no sign or returning life- ',;;... The heart of the calf could not be made to beak again, and the members - m xi r- i - t - t , oi uw commission were ia iuga giee because Dr. Fell's apparatus haa been used with suooess in five cases upon human patienta. These eases were ones where attempts to take life Sd?11!?10 -iMh IKieonndcut - ting the throat. An artificial respira- tion had been kept up for several hours and the patients restored to life. Dr. Fell waa brought here by the com mission for .the special purpose ot making this test. The apparatus which he used la bis own invention and con sists of a bellows and tube and a deli cate mechanical contrivance to govern its working. Dr. MacDonald said that Dr. Fell's failure to restore the calf i life demonstrated the power of electricity to cause death blatantly, and that the theory of temporary sus pension ot animation waa nonsense. The machine in Auburn Prison can generate a current of 2,000 voltr Hoaltn f th dnean and Prime. ' I Xjobpob, Jan. l upon the author ity ot a court official it ia stated that neither the queen nor the prince of Wales is in robust health.
