ANOTHER MARINE DISASTER
A British Ship Burned While Bein:

PeriShed

Margate, England, October 1.-THE
British ship Blengfell, Captain John
son, from New York, September 18th,
for London, was destroyed by a sudden
fire off this place early this morning.
Nine Of her crew, the captain, his wife

The Blengfell was passing here, in
tow, on her way to London, at about
$50 o'clock a. m, and was about four
miles off the coast. Suddenly she Was
enveloped in flames and smoke pour
ed from her hatchways. Two lifeboats
Immediately put off to her assistance,
but before they were able ta reach the
burning vessel her mastS fell and she
was burned to the waters edge. Her
hull eventually drifted upon the Good
win Sands.
The Blengfell had a quantity of nap
tha on board. The smell of it was
strong during the voyage, especially
aft, so much so that the officers of the
ship had to shift their quarters last
evening. An explosion occurred just
as the captain of the ship had engaged
the services of a tug, which saved the
survivors.
The Blengfell was an iron vessel built
at White Haven in 1876. She registered
LILY tons, and hailed from Liverpool.'

shut Kansas City off from wire COM

snow and the temperature dropped per-
ceptibly. Steadily since then a dense,
wet snow driven by a north wind, at
points reaching the velocity of gale
has fallen.
The storm came up with great sud-
denness and caught many unprepared

About $50 damage was done to Damon Gregory's house by fire Monday, caused by the defective flue.
 Wales has suffered from the worst ice storm in the history of the town. On ac- count of the altitude the storm was worse than in other parts of eastern Hampden. A great number of trees have been ruined and the loss to fruit trees is very heavy. In the old street the handsome naples on each side are ruined. Many of the tops are broken of and almost all have been stripped of their limbs. Four gangs of linemen are working on the Postal tele- graph main line, which runs through the village. Many of the fallen wires are so incrusted with ice as to measure two inches in diameter. Although many large trees have fallen, buildings have escaped serious damage. The Palmer stage was obliged to give up its Monday trip be- cause of the broken wires and trees.
