LONDON, April 1.-THE painful ru-
NOR comes from Alexaddria, Egypt,
that Sir Samuel Baker and wife have
been murdered in the interior of Africa
by natives. Sir Samuel, accompanied
by his wife, took an Egyptian
expeditiOn up the river Nile.
The rumOr of the murder of Sir
Samuel Baker and his wife causes much
measiness at the foreign Office, but the
government has received no infOrma-
tion whatever in relation to the occur
renee. Earl Granville has telegraphed
to Alexandria making inquiry into the
origin of the report.

OMAHA. April 17.-Trains from the
east, which left here on Monday and
Tuesday, arrived at Grand Island this
noon. The train from the west that ar
rived at Grand Island Monday morning
at eight o'clock, had been there since
that time, but left there this morning.
This afternoon the track is clear, and
trains are moving the entire length Of
the Union Pacific railroad. The storm
lasted three days with great severity, its
force being mostly confined to the limits
of Plum creek on the west, and Column
bus on the east. Persons did not dare
leave their houses during Monday, Tues
dav, or Wednesday. Thus far but one
case of loss of life has been reported.
The probable loss of stock has been
great, as it is known that a considerable
number of cattle perished. The damage
to the telegraph lines has been great
wires and poles were blown down for
some fifty miles, but il Is expected they
can be repaired temporarily by tO'mOr-
row evening. Persons who have lived
in the country for sixteen years say they
never saw anything in the way of q
storm approaching it before.
