Mayor Steele has telegraped for
assistance from neighboring towns
in tho way of tents lor the homeless,
but the police department feels able

Killed by the Can Near Winston.
Mr. John T. Holder, a farmer,
aged about A j years, living two and
a halt miles South of Lewisviile,
was killed by the Mocksville pas
senger train at the At wood crossing,
West of Winston, about 6:45 Wed
nesday evening.
Mr. Hjlder, accompanied by his
13 year-old son, came to town with
a two horse load of stove wood,
which was hauled in the wagon bed.
It was nearly C o'clock when they
left Winston for home. The son,
who is thought to be hurt internal
ly, save his father .drove on to the
crossing at the same time the train
came in. They did not hear or see
the train ; in fact the road crossing
the railroad track is iu a deep cut
and nothing short ot an engine
whistle would notify travelleis in
a wagon that the train was coming.
The Sentinel learns that several
people have had narrow escapes at
this crossing.
The son says he does not know
exactly how lie got ofl tiie wagon.
It sppears, however, that he was
knocked or! by the tiain, but was
thrown far enough not to be struck
by the engine. It was different
with his father, who met with a
sudden and sad death. He was
badly cut np, especially his face.
Mr. Holder leaves a wife and six
children. After his body wis
brought to the dejo', hundreds of
people gathered nd viewed the re
mains Winston Sentinel.

TO GIRDLE THE EARTH.
A Remarkable Experiment in Electrical Sci
ence to Be Tried To-Day. Power to
Be Supplied by Niagara Fills to
Send a Message Around
the World.
At the opening of the National
Electrical Exhibition in New York
to-day an experiment iu electrical
science will be attempted, which
will attract the attention of the sci
entific world, ami, if succewf ul, will
be far iu i dvance of anything that
has been achieved thus far. At a
certain hour ou the 7th of May the
several lines ot telegraphic cable
from New York to Euro, thence
to China and Japan, thence to Aus
tralia, thence to Africa, thence to
Portagal, thence to Brazil, theuee
to Chile, thence to Central Ameri
ea, thence through Mexico to Gal
veston, and tueiiee to New Yoik
again will bo connected in a single
circuit, and with an electrical cur
rent furnished by Niagara falls, an
ocrator at one table in the exhibi
tion will send a message composed
by Mr. Chauncey M. Depew to an
other operator in the same room af
ter circumnavigating all the conti
nents of earth. It is impossible,
like Puck, to put a girdle around
the earth, because there is no cable
line across the Pacific ocean. A
bill is pending iu Congress tor the
establishment ot one, and it is hoped
that it will soon be enacted into a
law, but the proposed message will
travel a great deal farther by the
existing lines as ditcribed than if it
simply followed the equator. Be
fore the close of the exhibition, on
the Queeu's birthday, Preeident
Clevelaud will be invited to send a
message ot eace aud good will to
Victoria, the current also to be fui
njfhed ou that occasion by the wa
ters of Niagara falls, which is espe
cially appropriate, because they be
long jointly to Great Britain and
the I nitta States. Mr. Cleveland
will have an opportunity to work
vp a line sentiment with such ma
terial. Mr. Depew was selected to pre
pare the mestaze io be sent around
the world by Mr. Frank W. Haw
ley, uiauatrer of the Niagara Falls
Electric Power company, because
he has been so earnest and ardeut
in the support of tust enterprise and
has never wavered in his confidence I
that it would succeed. It has liecn ,
one of the most ardeat exhibitions
of fai'h in acient lie genius that the
coinmerciHl world has ever known, !
for this company invested befv-eu i
$5,(KM),uOU and ti;,tw,uW in its
preparation to harness the falls of
Niagara and save the enormous
power that Lati Un going to wtste
there, Cn tht recommendation of

Nicola Tefla, tho Servian wizard,
who is only 30 years old, but has
already made some of the most re
markable and useful discoveries in
electrical science, particularly the
oscillator, which offered the basis
of the plan to utilize the enormous
water power at Niagara and trans
mit it to New York. This enter
prise has reached a point where its
success is fully determined, and the
company is now getting ready to
furninb power to manufacturers in
Buffalo, Syracuse, Itochester, Dun
kirk, aud other cities in the neigh
borhood, which will be transmitted
to them by wire. In a few months
they expect to be able to furnish
electricity for commercial purposes
in the city of New York, a distance
pi 4C4 miles. The machinery ol
the electricsl exhibition will be fur
nished with power fiotn the Niag
ara plant, aud on the opening day
the current will be turned oa by
Governor Morton. It is also pro
posed to operate tho boats upon the
Erie canal by something like a trol
ley which Mr. Tesla has demonstra
ted to bo possible by stretching a
wire along the bauke of the canal.
The interest of the ci.Xitricians
throughout the world in the exper
iment that is to be tried to-day, the
7th, is so great that the cable com
panies have eagerly placed their
lines at the disitosal of the mana
gers of the Niagara company, and
tho arrangements will be perfected
under the direction ot Sir W. H.
Prtece, general superintendent of
the Britith government system of
telegraphy. Mr. Depew will have
to make his message as short as pos
sible, because the electricians will
not take the rick of attempting to
send a long one with a emgle cur
rent, lie will, therefore, devote Lis
wit and iutellect to the framing of
an epigram that will compare with
the first mecerigc that Professor
Morse sent over his wire between
Washington and Baliimore: "What

Highest of all in Leavening Po
Help for Cuba.
It is almost criminal for the peo
ple of this country to sit still while
Spain butchers the Cubans with a
devilish malignance that has hardly
any parallel in history.
There is one encouraging sign of
help for Cuba. On Saturday when
bids for two million dollars of
Cuban bonds were opened in New
Yoik, the bids aggregated more
than nine million dollars, the aver
age price oSered being sixty-two
and one half cents on the dollar.
These bonds are payable on! ? if and
after Cuba )3 free. Capital is
proverbially Urrud, aud wheD live
million dollars is offered on Cuban
bonds, it she e that the financiers
have faith that Cuba will win its
iudcpendeuce.-News and Observer.
