The reports from Florida this morning
are very alarming, and Southerners here
predict q spread of the scourge to 9th
err points South. The scourge is deadly
and seems to defy all human efforts.
The people in all the seaport towns of
Florida, are panic stricken and are
fleeing to the North, all that IA get
away. The negroes are also leaving in
all directions, and 1t is this exodus that
is liable to spread the disease more
rapidly.
LONDON, Eng, Aug. 1.-THE Daily
News has a full report of Blaine's New
York speech. 1t is referred to editor
ally as a type of bogus craftsmanship.
1t says that his statement that Eng-
land is watching the campaign in the
United States with the greatest interest
is the most transcendent nonsense. 1t
says the English government take no
interest in the campaign, and the Eng
| lish manufacturer regards it with the
| utmost Indifference. All the London
| papers treat the speech as an attempt
| to palaver to the well known prejudice
existing in the United States against
England.

Of corn near that place were washed
out, and lightning burned hundreds of
dollars worth Of wheat and hay. In the

veritable cyclone. Large stones were
| hurled about; hail stones of immense
| size fell doing great damage. At Slater

blocks we're demolished. Much stock
was killed, and the entire loss in the
county is placed at 100000. At Bray
