 Destruction Wrought by Gale.
 LONDON, Jan. 8.-During the last four days gale extended until it ragged over the whole of the islands. The destruction has been enormous. Considerable loss of life is reported, while shipwrecks, chiefly of fish ing crafts, are very numerous. The gale ragged with the greatest violence over Scot land. Professor Grant, of the Glasgow Uni versity Observatory, reports that yesterday the wind pressure was as great as fifty pounds to the square foot or eighty miles an hour. Clyde ship-building yards were flooded. Damage was considerable. The Bowling lighthouse was completely swept away. Dumbarton fared very badly. The river Severn on one side, Clyde on the other, over flowed their banks and submerged the greater portion of the town. Boats were obliged to be used on the streets. Many shopkeepers had to sit on counters until the tide receded. Telegrams innumerable from all parts con- tain long accounts of the destruction of prop. erty. The gale rages at Scilly, while the sea is very rough on the western, southern and northern coasts, so that 1t will be some days before the gale subsidies and the total loss of life and property is known.

Disastrous Failure of the Crops.

Disastrous Failure of the Crops.
 ST. PETERSBURG, Jan. 8.-It is very dith- cult in Russia to arrive at the truth with re- gard to any question affecting the internal condition of the country. This years har- vest was undoubtedly very much better than that of the preceding year, but there is rea- son to believe that instead of being really good one as both the government and pri- vate reports made out, it has, as matter of fact, fell short of the average. Even this much can only be said of grain, for the hay crop was simply failure, and owing to the inaction of the authorities and the indulgence of the people the effect upon the live stock of the country is likely to prove disastrous. Already, several weeks ago before the close of navigation, the agricultural commission sent in a memorandum to the home ministry calling attention to the danger and reeom- mending prompt action on the part of the government. But as usual this document was tossed about from one department to other until the time for action had gone by. The waterways are now locked up with ice and no efforts can prevent serious loss of live stock and further impoverishment of the country already suffering from a series of bad harvests. A gentleman from Samara re- ports that the Bashkirs lost last year two- thirds of their stock, and it is feared they will now be reduced to absolute beggary.

An Increase of Homicida1 Mania.

NEW YORK, Jan. S.-The semi-annual re- port of the city examiner on lunacy has been completed. It shows that during the six months ending December 31, 1881, there were committed to the asylum 545 persons, of whom BOA were males and 241 females. Of the entire number but 164 were born in the United States. and 60 per cent. of the foreign born were natives of Germany. In addition to the number of persons actually committed as insane there were examined 932 cases of alcoholism, melancholia and temporary de- engagement of the mind where the condition of the patient did not justify their committal to an asylum. The report states that there is a marked increase in the number of cases which are in medical phrase termed homici- dal mania.

A Massacre by Indians.

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. S-A dispatch from Tucson, Arizona, says: 1.-The Star has re- ceived official intelligence from Hermociilo, Sonora, respecting recent Indian depreda- tions. Two bands, numbering 300, under chiefs Chris and Jo, have been committing depredations in the districts of Mocleyuni, Sahmipa and Arizhe, and have killed Super intendent Woeberling, of the Lampazos mine with fourteen men, six women and four ehil- dren.

The h. dians are we'll armed with repeating rifles, and have about one thousand eight hundred round of ammunition"

A Fatal Explosion of Fire Damp.

WAUGH CHUNK, Jan. S.-A terrific fire damp explosion occurred yesterday afternoon in mine No. 10 of the Lehigh Coal and Nav igation company, at Lansford. Thomas Parry, of Gearytown, the fire boss, is miss ing, and is believed to be dead. Eight men and one boy were badly injured. Among them are Edward Gatels, of Gearytown, three men named respectively Reymbach, Burns and Kline and five others from Tam aqua, whose names are unknown. One of them had his back broken and the others have legs and arms broken and are badly burned and crushed. Several will undoubt- edly die. The explosion was caused by fall of coal breaking the safety lamp in the hands of fire boss Parry. The fire did not spread and the damage to the mine is consequently light. The place is ten miles from here.

The Kid,s Escape From Jail.

The Kids Escape From Jail.
 ALBANY, Jan. 8.-One of the boldest and
 most successful of escapes from prison was
 that by which yesterday afternoon William
 Burke, alias ''Billy the Kid," regained his
 liberty. He was recently arrested for rob
 ping President Ellis in a Cleveland bank of
 SLY, ,OOO in bonds. Failure to fully identify
 him as the culprit in that case resulted in his
 being delivered to officers from this city for
 trial on a charge of robbing bank in
 Cohoes of 5000 in August last, at which time he was captured with the spells. Hay ing been bailed in $1 500 for trial he failed to appear On being brought here from Cleveland he was confined in Maiden Lane jail, in room with other male prisoners at the of the building, the entrance being by two doors from the hall between the jailer's receiving room and the sheriff's office. The upper part of the iron inner door is of heavy bars with open spaces and in the top of the outer wooden one is @ circular hole covered with wire net. Through these openings visitors converse with prisoners behind the bars. At two o'clock a man in a cardigan jacket entered the jailer's room, asked and received permis- sion to talk with friend, and went at once to the wicket. Two deputy sheriffs were in the sheriff's office, and the jailer, having the keys in his possession, went up the stairs to the next story On descending two minutes later he noticed that the man in the jacket had disappeared and both doors of the rear prison room were open, having been unlocked by false keys At that moment man from the street reported having seen two men running down Maiden lane. A look inside at once revealed that all the prisoners were present except Burke. A general police alarm was promptly sent out, a reward of $1 ,O0O offered and despatches telegraphed in all directions giving notice of the Kids es- cape, but as yet no trace of the fugitive has been discovered It is believed he is hiding with his accomplice in this city.

HECK ER'S PERFECT BAKING POWDER.
A FAIR TEST.

To the Editor of the Journal SS Courfert
 Sir:-The contract for supplying the United States government with seventy-five thousand 5000 lbs. of Baking Powder during the en- suing year has been awarded to Hecker's Perfect Baking Powder, it having been tested by pr. Ed- ward G. Love, analytical chemist for the government and recom- mended by him for it's excellence and because it contained a higher percentage of gas (which means it will make lighter bread and bis- cuit) than either the "Royal'' OF the other cream tartar baking powders which he examined. The samples analysed by Dr. Love were furnished by the government com missioners, and were without the manufacturers label or name, and designated with a number known only to the commissioners.
 It will thus be seen that when Hecker's Perfect Baking Powder S submitted to an impartial test it's superiority is acknowledged, and the popular verdict so emphat- ically expressed in it's favor is fully sustained,

Big Blaze in Wil1iamsburg-Loss of a
 Million and 8 Half-Probnbly Caused
 by the Electric Light.
 BROOKLYN, Jan. S.-The sugar refinery of Havemeyer x Elder in Williamsburg, Eastern District, was burned to the ground this even ing It is not known definitely how the fire started, but it is supposed that the wire of the electric light heated and fired the wood work on the first floor. The flames spread too rapidly to check, though fifteen engines, fire boat and tugs were at work, and chief of the New York fremen assisted. The building occupied the block between First street and East river, was six stories, brick. The buildings of Havemeyer & Elder occupy five blocks on the river front. Only the re- finery was burned, though 8 large charcoal shop was damaged $4 1000. A large shed on the river was saved and the tugs lowed out the shipping. The fire occurred at 4:15. Two hundred men were in the building, but none were working in the room when the flames broke out. In order to escape the men opened the upper windows, which caused draft that aided the flames, which spread from the sugar boiler room all over the first floor. The property was owned by T. A. Havemeyer, Charles Zeniff and Elder. The loss is estimated by Havemeyer as fol- lows Machinery $750,OO stock $50O,- GOO, building $250, ,000 total $1, ,500, 900. Insurance $2 900, 900. The safe md contents saved.
