AGAIN STORM SWEPT
England Visited by Another Furi-
GUS Gale.
GREAT DAMAGE ALREADY DONE,

And Greater Damage Anticipated.
Houses Unroofed. Chimneys De.
molished and Fences Destroyed.
Fatalities Reported-The Storm in
the Chan mel.
LONDON, Dec. 1.-THE gale which Is
now sweeping Great Britain has already
done an immense amount of damage,
and has been attended with number of
facilities. The storm is fully equal in
violence to the two gales which have
recently prevailed along the English
Channel and over Great Britain and
Ireland. The meteorological disturb
ances which have occurred during the
past few months have seldom, if ever,
been paralleled in recent years, and the
effects of the storms have been so wide
spread and disastrous that it will take a
long time for the people, especially
farmers, to recover from them.
The damage to shipping has been ex-
tremely heavy. The losses incurred
through wrecks and other maritime dis
asters have been SO extraordinarily great
that many underwriters have not been
able to stand the pecuniary strain.
Killed in Their Home.
From every direction kilograms are
pouring in describing the damage al
ready wrought. AT AtDorrington. in Shrop-
shire, the chimney of an inn was blown
down. The falling bricks crashed through
the roof and fell upon the landlord and
his wife, who were in room directly
beneath the roof The man was killed,
and his wife so badly injured that it is
not expected that she will live.
Giant Erees that had withstood the
storms of years have been torn up by
the roots or broken in half by the force
of the wind. In some instances the tops
of trees have been whipped off and car
ried long distances Ahrough the air.
Houses have been unroofed, chiInneys
blown down, outhouses demolished and
fences destroyed. A large number of
cases are reported where persons have
been very seriously injured by being
struck by falling bricks and tiles, or by
being caught up by the gale and being
carried against barbed fences and other
distractions.
In the channel the gale is blowing
with great fury. 1t is very certain that
disaster will overtake many vessels that
have not been able to make harbor of
refuge,

read it calmly until he saw that it was
sworn out by his mother. Then he

TO restrain him. He made no effort to
escape, and went away quietly.
