The Gale I'm England.

LONDON, December l0.-The gale which
set in last night has caused immense dam
age and a number Of fatalities. The gale
shows not the least sign Of abatement, but
seems TO grow in violence. Reports are be-
ing received from all parts Of the country,
and they all concur in stating that the pres
ent gale is as severe il not severer than
any Of its predecessors.
From all directions kilograms are pour
ing in, describing the great damage already
wrought by the storm. Houses have been
unroofed, chimneys blown down, outhOuses
end fences demolished. A large number Of
persons have been seriously injured by fall
ing bricks.
At Darlington, in Shropshire, the chin
ney of an inn was blown down, falling
bricks crashed through the roof and fell
upon the landlord and his wife. The man
was killed and his wife fatally injured.
In the channel, the gale is blowing with
great fury and very nasty sea Is running.
1t is very certain that disaster will over
take many vessels that have not been aole
TO make harOor OF refuge.

NO PROFIT IN WHEAT.
Farmers Lose Money on It-So Says Grand
Master Thompson.


SPRINGFIELD, ILL, December TO-
The Illinois State Grange met at the
State House to-day with 400 delegates
present. The address Of Grand Master
j. M. Thompson was the most import
ant event Of the dav. 1t dealt largely
with crop statistics, and among the
facts set forth was that during the last
year the average price of a bushel OF
wheat was 81 cents. The total crop in
the State was worth about S15,o0o,000
and the net profit upon the crop was
less than 100000.
The figures for the last thirty-two
years show that for fourteen years
wheat-raising was pursued at profit,
but for the last eighteen years there
had been an actual loss. The farmers
OF the State are paying interest amount
ing 10 Sc, 500, 900 per annum on mort
gage Indebtedness of STAG, 000,O 900, while
the net profit on farm products is only
about 100000.
The grand master is against third
| party politics and recommends ,nde-
pendent action on the part OF the
grangers to secure the nomination in
their own party conventions and prima-
ries of men committed TO the interests
of the laboring classes. He recommends
she Endorsement of the action OF the
national grange in favor Of the negotia-
ton of loan from loan associations
sufficient TO float the entire mortgage
Indebtedness of che members of the
order. This will take about S200,00O,-
O0O and it is thought the amount can
be easily obtained at rate Of interest
not to exceed or per cent.

Serious Fire Near Steubenville.
SpseidL TELEGRAM to the Rs0isteT.

STEUBENvLLE, December 10-A disas-
trous fire occurred this morning on the
farm of William Becker, the dairyman.
The farm is located about two miles west
of the city on the eubenville-Richmond
pike. and was formerly known as the
Hukill farm. About eight o'clock it was
discovered that the handsome and commo-
dious barn Of Mr. Becker was on fire, and
bv nine O'Clock the entire structure, to-
gether with the contents, consisting OF
eighty tons of hay valued at $1,000; 81 900
worth of machinery, and $500 worth OF feed
and other articles were totally destroyed.
The barn was recently erected at cost
of s.. 800. and was considered the finest in
Jefferson county. On the building Mr..
Becker has an insurance Of $1,000 and on
the contents about $500, so that his loss will
be over 5000. The worst thing about the
fire to him is that he has sixty head Of cows
on his hands in midwinter with no place
to keep them. The barn will be immedi-
ately rebuilt.

THE CONDITION OF CROPS.
Everything Shows Very Satisfactory
COndition-Priccs Good.

WASHINGTON, d. c., December 10.-The
returns of the statistical reports OF the
Department of Agriculture, show that the
condition of growing wheat is S5.3.
The returns showing condition OF the
coming crops Of winter grains, are not gen.
erally favorable. On the Atlantic coast
some injury is reported on early sown areas
from the Hessian fly. The season was not
favorable for seeding in the South on &C.
count of continued dry weather.
In the Western states seeding was late,
the seed bed hard and cloddy, termination
slow and growth unfavorable, until No
vember. when material Improvement was
seen in most fields.
/ The figures for the principal states OF
the great wheat belt are: Ohio so, Michi-
gan 90, Indiana 81, Illinois so, Iowa 92,
Missouri 79. Kansas 20, Nebraska 80, Cali
fornia %. New York is 81, Pennsylvania
90, Maryland 81, Virginia S., Georgia 80,
Texas 40
The returns consolidated make the aver
age farm value of the current crops Of the
year: Corn, 1879 cents per bushel; wheat,
So. Sc: rye, 77.4c; barley, SAC. Oats, 32.3c
Buckwheat 57.9c Potatoes. sic.
Tobacco, cigar leaf ACC manufacturing
and export leaf Sic. Hay. $3.50 per ton.
The condition of growing wheat is re-
ported at S5.3c. The prices OF all cereals
have been remarkably sustained in view Of
the abundance of production.

SPAIN HONoRs PEDRO.

Every Mark of Distinction Paid the Ex-
Emperor of Brazil as the Funeral Train
Passed Through.
MADRID, December 10.-The Govern
ment gave orders that as soon as the
train bearing the remains of the OK
Emperor of Brazil from Paris TO their
final resting place in Lisbon entered
Spanish territory, every honor due to
the exalted station the deceased had
formerly occupied should be paid.
These orders were strictly carried
out, and at all the principal stations
along the route soldiers were arrayed
along the platforms, and as the train
rushed past they presented arms; flags
were displayed and royal honors were
paid the dead emperor.
Some OF the stations were tastefully
draped with mourning, with the flag of
the old Empire of Brazil flying at half
mast from the poles.
