Storm in Great Britain.

LONDON, Oct 16-A storm that set in
over Northern England, Scotland and
Wales night before last threatens to
cause as much damage as some of the
phenomenal gales and rains that passed
over the country last autumn. The
telegraph lines are down in every
direction and communication with
some of the coast towns is greatly in
terrupted.
Loss of life by shipwreck is begin
ming to be reported. The fishing yawl,
James and Robert, which was yester-
day in heavy squall entering the
Firth of Forth, Scotland, for shelter
under short canvas, saw a yawl turn
over. One man was seen clinging to
the bottom Of the overturned boat, but
it was impossible for the larger craft to
reach him in time to save him, heavy
sea sweeping over the yawl and carry
ing off the man.
Much damage has been caused by
floods in various parts of the country.

gers were instantly killed and one pas.
senger was fatally hurt, dying few
hours afterward.
There was fearful crash when the

a binding cloud of dust Immediate
ly hid everything from sight. For
several seconds, until the dust settled,
the extent of the appalling accident
was net known to the few spectators.
The freight train must have struck the
cable car near the center, as the heavy
trucks were thrown on either side of
the track.e0n the east side of the track,
twenty feet from where the collision oc-
Cured, was found the body of Mrs. Re-
Wis, partly underneath truck. Seachrist
and McKenna were picked up on the
other side, while Gripman Barbee was
found 200 feet down the track with his
head resting against the rail in a pool
of blood and brains All were dead
with the exception of Seachrist, who
was carried to his home and given med
ical attention, but he was beyond aid
and breathed his last at $50 o'clock.
The accident occurred at exactly the
same place where Warren Watson was
killed few months ago.

BALMY WEATHER HURTFUL.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 1.-THE soft.
balmy Indian summer weather which
Washington is enjoying is proving
harmful to the presidents invalid wife,
for it has depressing and enervating
effect on her and increases the nervous
ness from which she suffers greatly.
Consequently she is less well and strong
to-day than she has been for the past
two or three days. A symptom in this
case recently has been exceeding drowsi-
ness, the patient sleeping for an hour or
longer at a time and then waking up
only to fall asleep again in few min
utes. This drowsiness has passed away
to an extent, but it has shown its eff
fects in increasing exhaustion.
Notwithstanding the fact that last
evening she was weaker than for sew
eral days, Mrs. Harrison passed on the
whole a fairly comfortable day and
there is said to be no occasion for i'm
mediate alarm.

A. B. Griffin has on exhibition at L. !. God
dard's Jewelry Store the last two specimens of
inlaid work completed by his wonderful hand.
The first, miniature grandfather's clock case,
is indeed work of exceeding rare merit, and is
considered the masterpiece of his life. 1t is
composed of 2,745 pieces, representing sixty
varieties of wood from all parts of the world
Ic is of inlaid mosaic work, of beautiful design
and perfect finish. So accurately do the tiny
wood gems fit their places, and so faithfully ex-
| act are their positions with reference to each
| other, that the whole appears like piece of ex-
quisite mottled surface. There are no lines Of
separation save those suggested by the various
colors. 1t is one of the few works of art seldom
| seen, because seldom made. Few, indeed, pos
sess the genius, and fewer, STILL the patience tc
design such work, collect the varieties of wood
and apply themselves day after day to its com.
pletion.
When he had finished the handsome case, Mr.
Griffin looked about for a clock of commensu-
rate worth with its rich receptacle, and failing tc
find what he wanted, went to L. J. Goddard
who sent an order to a celebrated French estab
lishment where a clock was made especially fo
the case. 1t is an eight day time piece, striking
the hours and half hours on a mellow toned
cathedral chime. 1t has a lever escapement
jeweled, and rivals any watch in finish. 1t is
splendid and necessarily costly timekeeper.
The other specimen of his handiwork is
