RAyAGEs OF A TYPHooN.


The ,yphoon which swept ov,r q
Philippine islands on 0 to Ell 6w g
Cause of Que of lhe worst disasters tha
has been reported from the southern
ocean in many years, if not 10 the his
tory of that section OF the world. Thou
sands of livee were lost, including many
Europeans, and the damage to property
was something appalling. Telegraphic
advices concerning the ca 'amity have
been very meagre. The difficulties OF
getting news from the islands is great
at any time, and owing to the re-
moteness of some of the prov
iuces visited by the hurricane, full
details of the storm did not reach Hong
Kong until the first Of November. The
steamer Gaelec, from the Orient,
brought letters and papers y hich con,
tain accounts of the ravages OF the tidal
wave and hurricane. Several towns
we're swept away. Fully four hundred
Europeans were drowned, and 1t is
estimated that six thousand natives
persisted.
The hurricane struck the Island at
the bay of Sauta Paula in the province
of Samar. II devastated the entire
southern portion of the island and cut
off communication with the rest of be
world for two days. Ga the t@elf' h
the hurricane reached Leate, aud struck
the capital of Tacloban with great fury.
In less than one-half hour the town vas
a mass of ruins. The natives we're
panic stricken and tried tn make / cir
way to clear ground. Four hundi d
of them were buried beneath the deb is
of wrecked buildings and one hundr d
and twenty six corpses of Europes ms
were recovered from the ruins VIII n
the native authorities Instituted a
search for the dead. Reports from
throughout the coast were receiv' d
which claimed that score of small
trading vessels aud two Sydney traders
were blown ashore and the crews
drowned. The sea at Samar swept in
nearly 8 mile, destroying properly
valued as several million dollars aid
causing wholesale deaths among the
natives.

A RUAIORED RAPE CASE.
Opinion Divided as to Whether George
ROughton was Guilty.

Columbia, n. c., Aug. 24-(Special)-
Geo. Roughton, a white man about -
years of age, was yesterday lodged in jail
here to await trial charged with the
crime of rape, committed on the per
sOnof Berta Camack, a white girl about
Is years of age.
Berta Camack is a half-witted para
lytic, of very humble birth and circum-
stances, and according to her statement
she was alone in the house of the wO-
man with whom she lived, when George
Roughton came into the house where she
was and she having repulsed him and
refused to grant his indecent request
he forcibly carried her into the bedroom
and accomplished his devilish purpose,
She says she Screamed but there be
ing no neighborS nearer than 500 yards
no one heard her. Upon the return OF
the woman with whom she lived she
Immediately told her, but was caution
ed by her not to tell it until the Superior
court came. The crime was committed
on August Sth, and Immediately after
wards George Roughton disappeared
but was arrested upon his temperance
on the Dist, when news of the crime
was made public.
The prisoner now denies ever having
sexual knowledge of the proSecutriX
but there are rumors to the effect that
on the preliminary hearing before the
magistrate he he admitted this. He
made a break for liberty from the jail
or, which was unsuccessful, but the Jail
or had his arm badly bitten by him.
There is no fear of a lynching bee
and public opinion is about equally di
vided as to his guilt or innocence.

CORN CONDITION IN KANSAS IMPROVED
Tobacco Cutting Continues in the More North

Excent in Virginia.
Except in Virginia.

Washington, Aug. 25.-The Weather
Bureau in its report of the crop condl-
lions for the week ended Aug. % says:
The weather conditions during the
week sn the States of the Central val
leys, Lake region, Northeast and over
the greater part Of the Gulf and South
Atlantic States have been very unfavor-
able to crops, more particularly the I'M
portant staples, corn and cotton. Inc
week has been marked with exceptionally
low tempera lures over the greater part
of the country east of the Rocky Noun
tains, with light frosts in the Lake re-
gion and upper Mississippi valley
Drought continues over portions of the
Virginias. North Carolina, Tennessee,
Missouri and Southwestern Texas, and
is beginning to be felt in portions of Ne
braska, Iowa, Illinois, Indiana, and
Ohio. while excessive rains have caused
damage along the Gulf and South Allan
tic coasts. On the Pacific coast and in
the Rocky Mountain region the week
has been generally favorable, although
unusually warm in Oregon and Wash
ington.
The condition of corn in Kansas has
1UDTONGu, III NeDIdShd ~ - liAti 'AtA III =
nicely; in South Dakota it is filling well,
but, as generally throughout the Central
valleys it needs warm weather to hasten
maturity before the frosts. In Iowa,
Illinois, Indiana, and Ohio, the crops, be-
sides suffering the effects of abnormally
cool weather, is generally needing rain.
General rains have improved cotton in
Texas, except portions of the Southern
parts of the State, where drought con-
tinues. Cotton also needs rain in Mis-
souri, and portions of Tennessee and
North Carolina, but over the great part
of the Central and Eastern sections of
the cotton belt, the crop has been seri-
ously injured by excessive rains, and
complaints of rust and shedding are quite
general, while reports of rotting and
damage by worms are quite numerous.
Spring wheat harvest continues in
Northern Minnesota and in the Dakotas
but has been delayed by local rains in
North Dakota, where the crop has ripen-
ed very unevenly and some of the over
ripe has been lost. Harvesting has con-
tinued, under favorable conditions in
Oregon and Washington; it is well ad-
vanced in Oregon and will be completed
in Washington in about ten days.
Tobacco cutting continues in the more
northerly tobacco States. The crop in
Kentucky will be short, but in Mary
land, Pennsylvania and Ohio good crop
is promised, much already having been
housed.
But little blowing for fall seeding has
been in the States of the Central Miss
issippi and lower Ohio and Missouri val
legs, but favorable progress has been
made in Texas. Oklahoma, Kansas and
generally on the Atlantic coast, except
lin Virginia.
