Squier Crehare Synchronograph Telegraph System Claims 4300 WPM
A letter from Lieut. George Squier describes experiments on the Squier-Crehare synchronograph telegraph system. Reports include messages sent up to 4300 words per minute over a 100 mile line with underground cables, and a claim that 600 words per minute can cross the Atlantic once practical dynamos are employed. The inventors say press messages between New York and Chicago could be transmitted in a night, with cost equal to current postal rates.

During a severe thunderstorm in Weldon North Carolina a lightning strike struck a tin water-filled can carried by Leslie Parker son of A D Parker. The bolt split a post and burned a chain from around Leslie’s neck as the metal ingot formed a molten mass on his back. He revived after hours with intact pulse and later recovered fully.
