The prince assented to this and his examins-
ton was concluded He gave his evidence
in . halting, hesitating manner. and. he
seemed TO be very glad and exceedingly re-
heved when his examination was over. Though
it only lasted twenty minutes the examination
Of the prince evidently wearied him exceed
ingly and made him extremely nervous.
The prince seemed TO lose his usual
state Of calm and dignity shortly after he en-
tered the witness box. He did not seem able
TO make himself at ease on the stand. II was
noticed that the heir apparent was decidedly
6dgety, that he kept changing his position
and tkst he did not seem able 20 keep his hands
stir. n. prince repeatedly smoothed his
head vifh - neht hand and never onss
lifted his eye - the people in The

more to the point than usual wss - -
him, the princes face wss observed 70
aush considerably and then 70 turn pale
again, showing the state Of nervous
ness in which the prince found himsslf.

Fatality Caused by Failing
HnuRa.

n Fatality Caused by Failing
House.
The wind played havoc in and around
Glendale. The most serious result oc-
Cured at this point. The home of Mr..
and Mrs. Brown, of Verdugo cafion, one
mile distant from the Glendale depot,
was destroyed by fire and Mrs. Brown
was burnt to death. This sad event
took place at about O'Clock in the
morning. The house withstood the
power of the wind until that hour when
1T collapsed and lamp exploded. In a
few minutes the house was in flames.
Mr.. Brown and his little grandchiid es-
capped without any serious injury.
The charred remains of Mrs. Brown
were brought to the undertaking par
lore of Nickerson & Chase, on Second
street, in bureau drawer. Coroner We'll
don will hold the inquest today. The
sad affair cast gloom over the val
ley, as Mrs. Brown had lived in the val
ley Tor number of years and was held
in high regard.
Another house was also blown down
near the st. Hilda school. Mr.. Dutton's
store at Glendale got the worst of it with
the wind. The roof was blown off, the
windows broken and the stock slightly
damaged by the sand.
AT Tropico couple of windmills were
blown down. The damage to the fruit
in this locality is not nearly as serious
as through the San Gabriel valley.
Los Angeles herald., 1891-12-12

damage done at this point. Several
houses were shaken up.

Broke His Back.

Mr.. J. II. Kiefer, of the Troy laundry,
reports that Mr.. Charles B. Bouck, who
was some time ago foreman in Mr..
Kiefer's employ, was very seriously in
jured yesterday afternoon at ranch
near Cotton.
Mr.. Bouck was caught under the de-
nris of barn which was blown down by
the force of the wind, and his back was
broken. He was brought to Los An.
geles on the evening train and removed
to Mr.. Kiefer's house, where everything
possible was done for his comfort. But
his injuries were so severe that he was
not expected to live until this morning

Reports and Dispatches from Many
Places.

In this city the wind storm OF
the past two days did little dam
age, beyond causing some broken win
dows, removing a few tin roofs, and
blowing down few fences. A few lit
tie dwellings near the county hospital
were demolished, but the inmates were
uninjured. Mr.. Fred Bakers house on
Primrose avenue, East Los Angeles,
was destroyed, but here, also, no one
was hurt. A little house on Bellevue
avenue, near First street. was wrecked,
aud few other unimportant accidents
occurred.
The worst of the blow occurred in the
San Gabriel valley, where great Sam
age was done to the orange crop and to
buildings. Pasadena particularly suf-
fered, and it is feared that very large
portion of the orange crop has been
blown off or damaged.
The following is the report of the storm
in this city, as given by Observer Frank
lin of the United States weather bu-
reau.
"The wind storm began at about 3
O'Clock Thursday morning. Between 8
and o'clock the wind blew fresh and
brisk, with maximum velocity OF
twenty miles an hour. 1t continued to
l O'Clock this friday afternoon. The
velocity during the night and morning
was high. The maximum velocity at
O'Clock this morning was twenty. six
miles an hour, and from O'Clock this
morning to this afternoon was twenty
eight miles.
"The general direction was north to
west; the prevailing direction was north.
The city was protected by the hills to
the west of town. This is by no means
the highest wind we have had. The
highest velocity reached was 81 miles, in
December, 1887.
81 think the wind was confined gen.
orally to Southern California. North of
Southern California, before and during
the blow, the barometer was very high,
while in Southern California it was very
low, making something of vacuum
which caused an Inflow of currents on
! steep gradients, which caused the ex.
treme velocity"
Los Angeles herald., 1891-12-12
EXAGGERATED.

General Mathews Thinks the Orange
Loss Not Very Great.
Gen. John R. Mathews is disposed to
take hopeful view of the results of the
storm. To HERALD reporter he said
yesterday afternoon: "When the re-
turns are all in it will be found that the
damage done by the storm to the orange
crop has been exaggerated. The fact of
the matter is that healthy orange is
about as hard thing to blow off a tree
as can be imagined. Unquestionably
the wind last night whipped off the
sickly and imperfect fruit, but the only

The Crown of the Valley Devastated
Details OF the Disaster.
When rosy fingered Eos peeped above
the Sierra Madre yesterday morning at
the beautiful village OF Pasadena, and
at the gardens of Hesperides which sur
rounded it, scene of chaos and confu-
sion greeted her. That grim old scoun-
drel Eolus had let loose during the
night all the winds confined in his cav
ern, and the merry boys had amused
themselves most eccentrically in re-
gion which they have rarely been per-
mitted to toy with. Four years ago yes
terday the winds were on similar jaunt,
and two years ago the day before
they were also on a tear, but their
efforts at violent dissipation were
not to be compared with the insane
rampage of yesterday morning.
When the hour OF midnight would
have been cried, had there been any
criers, the tempest which had been
brewing all evening, gathered itself for
a deed of violence, and through some
physical popularity opened the ball by
tearing off and,rolling up the tin roofs OF
all the high buildings in Pasadena. AS
soon as such roof had been spirallv
convolved until it resembled cigarette,
