RRIDGE BLOWN AWAY.

LANCASTER. Pa, September SO.-Every
section of the county has been heard from
and the story is that ruin rode in the wake
of the gale. The loss will easily reach
81. 900, 600 and may largeiy exceed that
amount. In this city the individual losses
are small, but there are hundreds of them.
The wind roared like thunder and houses
rocked upon their foundations. During
the two hours of terror the air was filled
with bricks, stones. slate, timbers AMI roofs
of heavy sheet iron and tin, while gigan-
tic trees were ripped up by the roots ana
tossed almost like toys. The destruction
of the Pennsylvania railroad bridge across
the Susquehanna at Columbia overshad-
ows all else The bridge, which COM
prises q spans, was completely demoi-
ished 1t was insured for -SSO00O and
everything was carried away except the
stone piers. The bridge was lifted bodily
and deposited just above in the water.
Not a timber is standing.

YOUNGSTOWN, Ohio, September o.
The wheeling team decided 10 leave for
home Thursday, and it is likely they will
then disband. Their leaving here is on
account of the shorness Of money. The
manager left the team Tuesday night,
saving he was going to Pittsburg. The
hotel bin shows that if the team stays
undl Monday night it would eat up all
money received, and the team will likely
move up. Manager Halter denies the
story that the Wheeling team has lost
its franchise. and ne says all players will
be paid in full and reserved. Youngs-

Costly Feathers,

While there are probably hundreds OF
men who make business of killing birds
for their feathers, the best known OF the
reath er huntersin the West is Hamlin Smith,
the white chief of the Cocopah Indians.
Their reservation includes most of the land
on Madeline Bay. In the marshes of this
broad sheet OF water are found the egret.
heron and crane in large numbers. Smith
reached San Francisco n week or so ago
with several bags OF feathers, chiefly egret.
The load weighed less than four pounds,
but il netted Mr.. Smith 81 ,675. Even the
heron's feathers come high. They fetch at
wholesale from So to $40 an ounce. One
heron, Mr.. Smith says, will yield citen
feathers worth 81 so. Ii herons are more

truth.
The men who are connected with the Biz
mingham Company are not working for phi

money there is in II. They made certain
propositions to Cromer and his friends who
accepted with their eyes open. The cir
culars and verbal statements Of the man.
ayers ofth ecompany egarding Liberia Were
proDabiy very glowing, and much more
favorable than were warranted by the
facts, but the cclonists were doomed to
hardship by the very terms of their con
tract. They made no adequate provision for
maintaining thems selves after their arrival
In the little republic till they could make
some crops or obtain lucrative employment.
The difficulty about their landing, lie
said, was not at all due to an unwllingness
on the part Of the Liberian government or
OF the people to receive Immigrants. The
contrary was emphatically the case. The
Inhabitants of the country even go to a
good deal of trouble to find employment
for the newcomers and supply them with
provisions, in order to tide them over the

But the ship bearing Cromer and his
friends wanted to land the fortune hunters
atMonrovIa, whilethe people OF the country
had decided that il was for the best
interests both Of the Immigrants and Of
the country tOiand at Bassn or Cape Mount.
Accordingly the colony was required to
go to one of these points. They objected
because they had only heard about Mon
rovia, and the other places Were entirely
