------- GALES AND FLOODS
Much Damage Caused by Wind a
 Water in France, Spain and ItaII

Much Damage Caused by Wind and Water in France, Spain and Italy. PARIS, Oct. 25.-The gale ragged with
 great fury for three days and nights through the northern shores of the Medit- erranean. The climax was reached yes terday, when the wind blew with terrible violence over the Gulf of Lyons and the Island of Corsica. An immense number of vessels has taken refuge from the gale at Mnrseilles, many of them in a damaged condition. There are grave fears of disas- ter along the river valleys in France, Spain and Italy, which are flooded. The towns of Carcassenne, Limoux, Coursan and Narbonne, all in the valley of the Aude, have been greatly damaged by the flood in that stream.
 Troops were called out to assists in say ing property, and two of them were drowned while at this work. At Carcas, some the Canal du Midi overhowed its banks for the first time since it was cut At Limoux the floods undermined sev- ersl buildings, which collapsed. Twenty inmates of these buildings were killed and
 nine other persons are still buried in the debris. A fine bridge was also destroyed. The railway between Cette and PortIom was badly washed out in several places. Many houses on the banks of the Algy, at Perpignan, were swept away. A dam
 burst at Salanque, in the department of Pyrennes Orientales, which flooded the entire district or thereabout.
 MADRID, Oct. 25.-Reports from all parts of the country bring details of the havoc by the storms. The floods continue l in all directions. Photographic communica | ton with Paris has been interrupted. A | railroad tunnel between Witches and Sants Clena was undermined by the flood ant
 collapsed, stopping all railroad traffic be 1 tween Madrid and Seville

Smith of New Haven, Conn, Captain Tryon, from Hsllo- well, Me-, for New York, with cargo of granite, while on Naugatuck shoals during the morning of the 23d during violent northeast gale, carried away her foremast several feet below the crosstrees and came to anchor about six miles south of Mono moy point. Soon after the main and mig zenmasts went over the stern. The main mast broke level with the deck and the mizzenmast about half way from the deck to the crosstrees. In falling they smashed the stern boat and broke the fly rail The vessel in this condition rods at anchor dur ing the entire gale; with the sea constantly breaking over her. Steam tug Mercury went to her assistance and lowed her here last night Two anchors and sixty fathoms of chain were slipped. Not whole spar remains aboard the vessel, everything in the shape of spars and rigging having been lost, except the bowsprit. The hull is comparatively tight. She will tow to New York. The captain states that had she not been new vessel she would certainly have foundered and all hands would have been lost. Fortunately no one was injured.

WENT OVER THE TRANsou,

Frank Russell Gains an Entrance, for
 The Purpose of Robbery, Into a
 Meadow Street Saloon Discovered
 by the Proprietor and Placed Under
 Arrest.
 About 10 o'clock last evening Frank Russell, who gave his age as twenty years and his residence as Boston, Mass, was discovered in Henry c. Fishers saloon at 196 Meadow street by the proprietor and turned over to Officer Watrous, who hap pened to be passing at the time, and taken to police headquarters, where he admitted that he had obtained an entrance into the saloon by climbing over the transom above the front door and that his purpose was robbery. He said that he had been down to the bicycle races in New York and was on his way home, and as he had no money effected an entrance into the saloon for the purpose of securing sufficient money to enable him to reach Boston. When searched at police headquarters he had in his possession large number of nickel cents with tue eagle on them, and as some of the coins of this issue are now com manding a premium, it was thought that he may have stolen them from some other place.
 The manner in which he was discovered is as follows: Henry c. Fisher, the pro- prietor of the saloon, opened the door to let in his dog, when he noticed that he commenced to bark and act strangely. AL most immediately he saw the form of a man in the saloon, and going into the sa- loon dragged the intruder through the door which connects the saloon with the res taurant, all the time under the impression that it was one of the employees of the es- tablishment who had gone into the saloon and was perpetrating a joke upon him. When he succeeded in getting the man out into the light Fisher discovered that the man was not his friend, and calling Officer Watrous, who happened to be passing, gave him in custody.
 It is thought Russell had not been in the saloon long, as he had succeeded in obtain ing nothing from the place, and Fisher says nothing is missing.
 Later in the evening it was discovered that Russell had also effected an entrance into the saloon of Frank R. McGinn at TO Orange street by forcing a window and the bolts on door and it was from this place that the pennies were stolen, McGinn identifying them as his property.

FIRES DESTRUCTIVE WORK.

A Switzerland Village Nearly Wiped
 Out-Many Business Places De-
 stro5ed-Prairie Fires In Wiseon-
 sin.
 PARIS, Oct. 25.-Advices just received from Meiringen in the canton of Berne, Switzerland, state that the town has beeS almost entirely wiped out of existence by fire. The condagration was famed by a high wind and the flames swept away street after street with frightful rapidity. The appliances of the corporation for extin- gushing fires proved useless. The railway way station, the postofice, the telegraph office and nearly all the business places and residences were quickly destroyed. The Victoria hall and Wildermann's hotel are the only structures to mark the situa- tion of this once prosperous country resort of three thousand inhabitants and they were only spared owing to their isolation from other buildings
 The town was reduced to ashes in three hours after the outbreak of the fire. It was impossible to save anything. The wind was so strong that partly burned pa pers were carried as far as Interlaken, nineteen miles distant. The inhabitants ot the burned town are in pitiful condi- tion and relief parties have staried from 1nterlaken. The town suffered from a similar calamity in 1879, when the wooden buildings of which the town was chiefly composed were largely replaced by stone structures.
 MADISON, Wis, Oct. 25.-Fires in the Wisconsin river bottoms and the bottoms of rivers tributary to the Wisconsin have caused heavy losses to farmers. Curtis Hazleton of Mazomini, who owns 20, 900 acres of marsh lands in Dane, Sauk and Iowa counties, says most all the hay grown on his land was burned. He has leased the marsh in small parcels to farmers and those placing almost sole dependence for hay on the marsh, will be obliged to sell their cattle at whatever they will bring to avoid their starving. MT. Hazleton esti- mates that 50, 900 tons of hay have been destroyed in southern Wisconsin alone. Along the Wolf river and its tributaries, also marshes have been burned out and farmers were unable to rescue the hay which they had stacked there. In many places the fire is still burning. Stock can be purchased at almost any price along these rivers, tame hay having been fail ure on account of the drought,

Originality.


 Emerson says that Plato has made havoc with our originality" But before Plato taught Solomon declared, ''There is nothing new under the sun!"
 Now here is an array to daunt the bold est. Who dare speak when such authori- ties declare it uselessi If everything has been said, what is there left to sayl Early in the worlds history men discov- cred few great truths. And they found out that mankind being always and every where the same, there would be no more to discover. And when these truths had been preached and sung, and taught awhile, the listeners, who could not un- derstand them, got tired and turned, ss the Athenians did, to hear and to tell some new thing Yet the Athenians never heard or told new truth. It was all as old as the foundations of the world The few who have declared these truths in words which cannot die have at the same time declared them old. Their 1 names stand out like great towers in the land. We who listen and understand, and long to grasp them, concede that the words of wisdom have all been spoken, that the sage of to-day can tell us nothing more, and that the last living philosopher can but give his testimony to what has been already said. "There is one truth |" they all cry. 'But originality, It died long before the wisest man was born"
 To each mind that strives to zee clearly, truth, although ever the same truth, pre- sents itself in original forms and in end less combinations. It is new to whoever perceives it newly As the morning, rvhiah iS alr- hraaa-iprx .Ia morning broke, seems dewy and glittering, and freshly descended from heaven to iust-opened eyes, so to the mind awakened to perceive truth, :t comes as strong and pure as ever it came to the first mind that gladly opened to receive it. Nature is not old She is forever new. Truth is not old. It is born to-day in every young heart. To find an original thought would be vain hope indeed. Yet the words of the weakest need not be silenced for that reason. For, with sages and philosophers, they may bear witness in whatever way is given them to testify. Only expression can be new. The truth itself is eternal.
