HEAVY DAMAGE.

LONDON. Dec. 27.-The terrible
gale that has been sweeping the Eng
lish channel and the coasts of England
and France abated today leaving its
results in shattered vessels and bat
tered towns. The damage caused by
the sea and wind which at times reach
ed a velocity of eighty miles an hour,
is estimated at over $4,000 900.
Three small fishing vessels, carry
ing about eighty men are missing and
it is feared that the tiny craft We're
swept to destruction by the winds in
which large schooners and steamers
were helpless.
Immense waves swept inland by the
wind caused immense damage. Some
villages on the coast have been cut
off from the world for a day and when
reports are received from these there
may be a heavy death list.

clared they were amply repair for their

to talking machine concert. Comic
records were greatly enjoyed by the
youngsters.
AS the climax to the big day pres
ents, consisting of dolls, toys and
candy, were distributed to each child.

say that Santa Claus had been negli-

in readiness until 10 O'Clock. when he
convened court just long enough TO
announce that the jury was not ready
TO report. and that the court would
take a recess until 2:3O this afternoon.
All those defendants who are not
actually in custody of the marshal
were given their liberty until that
hour with warning to be on hand
promptly. The fact that the jury is
consuming time in its deliberation did
not disturb the defendants who pass
ed the time laughing and joking among
themselves. The wives and children
of about half the defendants were pres
ent in the court room and displayed
the only visible anxiety.
Today was the first time during the
entire trial that court was not conven-
ed promptly at $50 and many OF the
spectators regarded IL as an indication
that the verdict was momentarily ex-
pected. When Judge Anderson an
nounced that recess would be taken

strictions were inforced against any

the case from going above the first
