SWEPT BY GALES.
Great Damage Caused by Storms and
Floods in Great Britain.


LONDON, Nov. Violent gales and great
floods prevail throughout the length and
breadth of Great Britain. Houses in all parts
Of the country have been unroofed, bridges
swept away and wharves battered to pieces by
rushing winds and sweeping waters. 1t is al
ready known that many vessels plying in tho
coasting trade have been wrecked by the furi-
ously driving winds and enormous seas which
sweep the entire coast line with irresistible
force.
The storm RACES with almost equal volen ce
along the northeastern and eastern coasts of
Ireland and report reaches this city that q
pleasure yacht cruising in Irish waters has
foundercd in Belfast Loeb. The owner OF the
craft, Scottish nobleman went down with his
vessel The greatest anxiety is felt by ship
owners, commercial firms and insurance COM
panies, as well us those having friends absent
on yachting tours. No disaster to incoming or
outgoing Atlantic steamers. which are either
known 10 be or supposed = be ill the vicinity
OF the Irish or English coast, have been re-
ported.
At Liverpool and in the vicinity of that city
the storm Is raging with terrific fury and as
yet shows no signs of abatement The damage
IN that section Is great The Aintree race
meeting has been postponed in consequence
OF the storm.
Later-A late dispatch from Belfast states
that the yacht which was lost there was the
Frania. belonging to yiscount Cantelupe.
eldest son and heir of Earl De La VAR. The
yacht, which attempted to ride out the storm

rocks. Viscount Cantelupe was on board the
yacht and was drowned, but the crew were
saved.

A MYSTERIOUS ASSAULT
A Master at Oxford Shot at BY q
Young Woman.

LONDON, Nov. THE identity of the woman
who yesterday shot DIR. Bright, master Of
University College. Oxford, has been estab-
lished. The police have traced her from OK
ford to Brompton. but have not yet been able
to definitely locate her. They arc making
every endeavor to discover her exac. where
abouts.
A later dispatch from Brompton says that
the police have found the woman and taken
her into custody.
The shooting is a mysterious affair and has
caused an immense sensation at the university.
The woman who attempted the masters life is
apparently about thirty-five years old and is
described by the few who saw her as very
pretty. Previous toSthe shooting she had had
private conference with DR.. Bright. Some
time later she returned and after
exchanging few words with him she
suddenly drew revolver and fred twice
and lied without waiting to observe the result
of her action. She took a train for London.
There vert no witnesses of the scene or inter-
view and she had time to escape without diff
Guilty before the alarm was given. As yet Dr.
Bright has been unable or unwilling to throw
any light upon the matter. 1t is not stated
what his chances are for recovery. He bears
high reputation among the faculty and students
and nothing is known of his pirate life which
would furnish any explanation Of the in
cident.

WRECKED BY TRAIN ROBBERS
Serious Railway Disaster on the Mis-
souri, Pacific.

KANSAS CRY, No., Nov. IA special to THE
STAR from Sedalia, No., says train No. 8, west
bound on the Missouri Pacific. was wrecked
by train robbers three miles east of
Otterville. near tho notorious Robbers Cut, at
$40 this morning. The train consisted of seven
coaches. including mail. express and baggage
The robbers had removed the spikes, bolts and
fish plates for distance of three rail lengths
and placed crowbars under the rails so that
they would spread. When the engine touched
the loOsened rails it jumped the track broke
loose from the tender and ran so feet Oh the
ties and turned.
Fireman Lyons jumped and escaped injury
Engineer John Boyd stuck to his post and re-
ceived a severe wound on the back of his head
and had his hand badly cut
The tender turned across the track
throwing part of the mail car 30 feet to
the side OF the track. There were four
postal clerks in the car and all were slightly
injured. j. ID. McCarty, one of them, received
q severe injury to his right leg.
The baggage and express cars were COM
pletely wrecked. The smoker. which WIS filed
with passengers, was turned upside down and
the car was badly smashed Strange to
say not one of the occupants was severely IN
jured. The two chair cars jumped the track
but did not turn over. The Pullman was the
only coach to remain on the track
The engineer had stopped the train short
distance from the, wreck to make a
repair on his engine, and the train was
moving only about eighteen miles an
hour when the engine struck the loosened
rails, TO which is no doubt due the miraculous
escape OF the passengers and the train.
