ceased, Left to His Wife.


There has been a will found in the
singular case of the late John Knox.
1t was found among some of the ef-
fects in the search that was made in
his property Saturday, and the same
has been fled for proba e.
The instrument bears the date of
November 30, 1888, and it give the
greater oulk of the property to his
wife Mrs. Ruth Knox, who died some
months ago. Three children by the
first wife are named, Jeanette, Kate
and John. Kate was married and her
husbands name was unknown to the
maker of the will. He gives to these
children FIVE dollars each.
The court has required bond OF
s12, 900 to be furnished in the estate,

as temporary administrator.
Frank Reid states that the residence
of the relatives and the heirs to the
estate is known and that they have
been sent for and will be in the city
in the future.

FURIOUS STORMS.
mutations in Island of Jamaica De-
strOy ed by Wind and
Flood.

Kingston, Jamaica, Jan. 22.-Terri.
BILE weather has prevailed on the north
side of the island. Since Friday night
a violent norther has been causing de-
struction of banana plantations on ev.
cry side. In some of the parishes hun
dreds of acres of fruit have been ruined.
The course of Bluff Bay river has been
diverted and, the swollen stream has
already carried away two houses and
is now threatening to wreck large,
thriving fruit district. The seas are
running very high and have demolished
the wharves. There have been many
casualties among the small craft of the
United Fruit company, and Other
American fruit interests are suffering
severely. The stormy weather contin-
ues. The wind is moving to the north
east of the island with increased EN-.
ergy, carrying destruction in the path.
