A NEW ENGLAND CYCLONE.

Houses destroyed on Land and ships at
The third of series OF cyclones which
swept New England came Oct. II. In
Boston the entire water front was under
water, the big wharves going out OF sight
and vast quantities of wood, coal and
merchandise floating away. The cellars
were flooded and considerable damage
was done.
The town Of Seituate was u perfect
Venice. The water stood two feet deep
In the postoflce aud great rollers came
In from the sea, demolishing whole row
or buildings which faced the beach
Merchants and families lost heavily.
At Plymouth the outer sandbar was all
that saved the lower town from destrue-
ton. In Lynn, Salem. Newburyport and
Princeton the entire lower business por-
tions were submerged and vast quantities
OF coal. fuel and produce carried TO sea-
The beaches were washed clean along
the north shore. The Revere and Lynn
railroad and the Eastern railroad tracks
were either torn up or buried under tons
OF sand, seaweed and wreckage.
At Beachmont. Revere and winthrop
fleet OF boats was busy all day getting
the Inhabitants to and from their deluged
homes.
From Cape Ann 10 Cape Cod the beach
was one streak of wreckage, spars. bar

are no more.
At Chatham Ave wrecks were reported
on the Chatham life-saving station a:big
barkentine was sighted heading for the
fatal reef. Station after station along
the beach was telephoned 20 look out

AMERICAN STORM.
Distress Caused by the Destruction Of Many
Homes.

Distress Caused by the Destruction of Many
Homes.
Much damage was done by storms in
Mexico the three last weeks OF October.
In Sonora heavy rains, accompanied by
high winds and hail. blew down whole
groves of trees in the public parks; hail
cut crops on the plantations to pieces and
caused unlimited damage. This will re-
suit In future hardship among the owners
Of small plantations and laboring classes
1t Is estimated that it will take years to
repair the damage to the trees and
shrubbery.
The city of Teroloapan Jared even
worse. There the rain was so heavy that
it washed away the stone pavements of
streets and undermined the foundations
of many houses. One peculiar result OF
the storm was that number of graves
n the old Spanish cemetery on the out
skirts of town were washed psrtially open
and after the storm a number of human
bones were found in a nearby street,
where they had been left by the floods.
A number of collins which were near the
surface were also exposed.
Along the northern border of Mexico
the Rio Grande river rose so rapidly that
the people of the cities of Porfirio Dlaz
and Villa de Ia Fuente had to flee from
their homes without stopping for food or
clothing. Many houses were swept into
the river before the occupants could es-
cape, and boats had to be used IL rescuing
some of the families.
The distress in the storm-ravaged dis
tricts is so great that President Diaz has
appropriated meney for the relief of the
inhabitants, while subscription papers for
the relief OF those made homeless by the
storm have been opened in all large cities.

Bogran of Honduras, asking him what he
meant by increasing the garrison at

Salvador to be Matched in Honduras. He
said to Bogran: If you intend to keep

Is made to make war upon me shall

The reply of Bogran was very humble
and entirely satisfactory to Ezeta.

Savings Department
-oP THE-
First National Bank,
WELLINGTON, OHIO.

This Bank will hereafter keep
two sets of accounts; one with gen.
eral or business depositors-those
who wish their money on demand
or subject to sight checks-who
will receive no interest; and the
other with savings depositors-
those who wish to leave their
money for a specified time, or for
an indefinite time-who will re-
ceive interest at the rate Of A per
cent per annum.
The object Of this department
is to encourage those who are de-
sirous of saving or investing their
money by depositing it in bank
where it will safely earn a moder-
ate rate of interest rather than in
cur the trouble, annoyance and
risk Of loaning it, or the unprofta-
BILE and dangerous practice Of keep
ing it about their homes or in
their pockets.
To promote these desirable pur-
poses, this Bank has prepared and
adopted Rules and Regulations,
which will be presented TO any
one desirous Of procuring them,
by calling at the Office Of said
bank, any time during banking
hours, or any Saturday night be-
tween the hours Of six and eight
