MANY PERISH.
England, France, Germany and Belgium Suffer from Storms.
OVER FIFTY LIVES REPORTED LOST.
A Number of Vessels Wrecked While Damage to Property on Land is Enormous — Railway Collision Causes
Thirteen Deaths.
LONDON. Dec. 24.— Reports of the storm received from all parts of England show that immense damage has been everywhere caused by the recent gales. The loss will reach tens of thousands of pounds. Many buildings have been blown down and telegraph wires have suffered greatly. Traffic has been completely suspended in many places on account of the floods. Many ships have been driven ashore by the winds.
Over Fifty Dead.
Over fifty persons have been reported dead in different places as a result of the storm, while hundreds have been injured. Eight persons, while attempting to escape from a bark driven ashore at Holy Head, were drowned. A chimney at Sheffielf was blown down and it is reported that five persons were killed and many injured. It is impossible to estimate the damages, as reports from different sections of the United Kingdom swell the list of accidents and wrecks hourly. The gale is said to be the worst that has occurred in thirty years.
Twenty-Two Drowned.
Three fishing smacks went down Saturday night off Stornaway, on the Scotch coast, and all three crews, numbering twenty-two men, were drowned. At Teelin a house collapsed and the three occupants were killed. In Stanolar two persons were killed by a falling chimney.
In Scotland.
Several vessels went adrift in Aberdeen harbor and grounded. The roof of the MacDonald art gallery was ripped open and many valuable pictures were injured. The brig Loven was wrecked in the Firth of Clyde near Androssan and her crew of five were drowned, At Lochwinnoch, near Paisley, part of a threestory cabinet factory was wrecked. Forty persons were buried in the ruins. Four were killed outright and twenty were injured seriously. The proprietor was struck in the back by a falling timber and is dying. Only five persons escaped without injury. The coast steamship Brook was stranded near Berwick, Scotland, and her crew was brought ashore with the breeches buoy. Great Damage at Many Points.
The gables were blown off a dozen houses in Yarmouth, Vodforkshire, and the tide in the river Yare rose several feet above the normal high water mark, Hundreds of houses have been flooded. At Lancaster the wind blew the roof off a house, and the whole structure collapsed, burying three persons in the cellar. All were seriously injured. Several other houses in course of building were demolished. At Morecambe several smacks were sunk. At Grimsby a workshop collapsed, burying thirty persons. One was killed and three were seriously injured. Telegraph wires, timber, stacks, etc., were blown down in all directions..
In France and Germany.
Dispatches from the continent say that northern France and Germany suffered severely from the storm, although the loss of life and property cannot be estimated. At Hamburg many vessels went adrift and collided or grounded. The tide was the highest seen since 1882. The lower parts of Wilhelmshaven on the North sea were flooded and the dykes would have gone if the garrison had not worked energetically for hours to strengthen them. Luebeck and Colberg also suffered much damage.
Thirteen Killed In a Collision. At least thirteen persons were killed and sixty injured, many of them fatally, by the wreck of the Manchester express on the London & Northwestern railway, at Chelford, Saturday. The accident in reality was caused by the recent storm, which has wrought so much damage throughout England. A luggage train was first derailed about 5 o'clock in the afternoon by the force of the gale. Before notices of the danger could be sent to Crewe and neighboring stations the express struck the baggage cars, causing a great deal of damage to both trains. The express train was running full speed at the time the accident occurred. The carriages were badly smashed and thrown in all directions by the force of the concussion. It was hours before the debris was removed and traffic resumed. The wounded are being cared for by physicians of Manchester and Crewe. There were many heartrending scenes as the dead and wounded were extracted from the ruins.
In Belgium.
Paris, Dec. 24.—The storm which has swept northwestern Europe has done great damage in Belgium. The Dendre overflowed its banks at Termonde, and the inhabitants were aroused at midnight by ringing bells to flee for their lives. In Rotterdam the water rose 12 feet above the usual high water murk. The streets were under 2 or 3 feet of water, and the inhabitants paddled about on rafts and in boats. The dykes of the Meuse and Yssel were strained severely along their lower courses. At one place a large break let out a flood which covered a wide area and did enormous damage. Throughout the Netherlands and Belgiuin many persons were injured and a few were killed by falling chimneys and timbers. The pilot cutter Limaneur capsized off Dunkirk and three of the crew were drowned.
Bold Robbery.
CHICAGO, Dec. 24.—Charles Bush was seized by three negroes and taken into a Dearborn street hallway, bound and gagged and robbed of $350.

BLOODY RACE WAR.
Armed Bodies of Whites and Negroes Face Each Other.
REVENGE FOR A MURDER THE CAUSE.
A Black Kills Prominent Georgian—A Posse of Whites Attack a Crowd of Negroes and Seven of the
Latter Are Slain.
QUITMAN, Ga., Dec. 24. —With seven negroes dead and armed mobs of whites and blacks near to each other the outlook for a race war in Brooks county is startling in its certainty. The excitement is the result of the murder of Joseph Isom, one the wealthiest farmers in the county. Seven negroes were killed Saturday and Saturday night to pay the penalty, and this seems to be only the beginning. A posse of 300 cover a territory of about 6 miles. The largest crowd, 100 white men, is congregated a mile and a half from Isom's house. They are well armed. About half a mile further on there is a mob of negroes, about the same number, armed with rifles, pistols, axes and clubs, waiting for the white mob to come on. They fear the whites will take summary vengeance on their families, first found, first shot.
The Dead.
Those killed are: Sam Taylor, Eli Fraser, Sam Pike and Henry Sherard. All are negroes. It is understood that Waverly Pike, Jim McCall and a negro named Herring were probably the others. The county is comparatively sparsely settled, and the facilities for securing information are very meager. Pike is the negro who killed Isom. He has been in hiding near where the trouble has occurred, and the authorities do not consider it probable that he had been caught.
More Bloodshed Probable.
What the next twenty-four hours will bring forth no man knows. That there will be an open clash seems more than probable. The authorities are powerless, and practically no effort has yet been made to bring about peace, save by the relatives of the man whose murder is the cause of it all. It leaked out that the killing of isom was a part ot a plot to kill all the whites who were in the posse which a few weeks ago arrested Jesse Jeffreth for the killing of T. Moulton. Isom was one of the most popular men in the county. He lived in a part of the county where the negroes outnumbered the whites and the killing created a great deal of excitement. When it developed that the same gang of negroes had sworn to kill others, the whites gathered for war. The negroes are entrenched in and around a lot of negro cabins in the midst of a thingrove and the whites are advancing on them from two sides.
Details of the Killing.
Details of the killing of the seven negroes are meager. Taylor, Fraser, Pike and Sherard were together about sunset Saturday night. They were regarded as four of the ringleaders of the conspiracy to kill and burn, and were being especially sought for. A half dozen whites, one of whom is said to have been Isom's brother-in-law, came upon them suddenly and ordered tliem to sumbit to arrest. One of the negroes answered with a shot that struck one of the whites and the four blacks were shot down. Many of lsom's neighbors who are in the crowd will not listen to any peaceful talk. They declare that for the sake of their wives and children they must stamp out the gang. If the flght comes it will be a desperate one.
The Murder of Isom.
The killing of Isom occurred in the public road not far from his home. Isom was in town Thursday and while there had some words with Waverly Pike. Apparently everything was smoothed over when he left for home. After arriving there he started with Henry Tillman, his brother-in-law, for Capt. Tillman's home, about half a mile from lsom's. They met four negroes. Pike and West McCall were on horseback, the two Herring boys were in the wagon. They came near riding over Isom, who remonstrated. He said: "Lookout don't run over me," and had stepped out of the way. Just then Pike drew a pistol and without a word fired, the bullet piercing lsom's heart. Pike and McCall fired three shots each at the prostrate body of Isom and then broke for their horses. Pike made his escape, but McCall and the Herrings were arrested and are in jail. There is grave danger of these three being lynched. Lynched in New Orleans.
NEW ORLEANS, Dec. 24.—A tragedy occurred Sunday afternoon at the lower limits of the city, in sight of the Jackson barracks. George King, a desperate negro, who is down on police books as a fugitive petty thief, became involved in a difficulty with some butchers, and secured a shotgun. Constable Guerre endeavored to arrest the man to secure his weapon, but the negro escaped and took refuge in a hay loft. When the constable and a crowd tried to dislodge him he fired at them and wounded the constable and half a dozen others. Several of the mob armed themselves, but the negro had his vantage ground until the torch was applied to the barn. As soon as he was forced upon open ground he was shot, and then the infuriated crowd put a rope around his neck and dragged him to a tree, where he was lynched.
Serious Fire at La Crosse.
LA CROSSE, Wis., Dec. 24.—Shortly before 9 o'clock Saturday morning fire broke out in the large department store of the La Crosse Dry Goods company and within half an hour the flames had destroyed property worth $60,000. Has Received the Sad News.

ABSOLUTELY PURE
HUNGER'S PANGS.
Two Children.
NIOBRARA,
Neb., Dec. 24.—The suf-
fering among the inhabitants of the drought-blasted part of Nebraska, including three-fourths of the residents of five counties, is becoming more intense daily, and immediate steps alone can prevent many deaths by starvation. Three years ago the farmers of these drought-blighted counties raised a very light crop, and the past two years the crops have been almost total failures. Many families have not enough provisions in their homes for one week's subsistance and no money to purchase the necessaries of life.
Have Done All They Could. Many of the merchants here feel they have aided these poor farmers to the extent of their ability, and are unable to do any more for them or to sell them goods on credit. The sufferers cannot obtain employment, and unless they receive aid very soon it is the general opinion that many will starve to death, and should the weather turn very cold many will freeze to death, as it is a fact that many are barefooted and have scarcely sufficient clothing to cover their nakedness. The marshal of this place saw, 12 miles from here, children without shoes, and their pantaloons were so ragged they scarcely covered their nakedness.
Starved to Death.
A mother and her two children were found dead in their little cabin last week. It is supposed the mother had been confined to her bed by sickness and she and her two little ones starved to death. The stomachs of the children were opened and not a trace of food could be discovered.
A Long List of Destitute.
President Nason, of the Nebraska state relief commission, has been forwarded a carefully-prepared report of the number of destitute families in the different counties in the state where there was a crop failure. The list is a large one and it will require all the assistance that can be procured to keep the people in the most urgent of necessities during the cold winter months. The report as has been made out by Secretary Ludden is as follows:
Custer county, 250 families; Perkins, 200; Chase, 225; Dundy, 120; Hitchcock, 250; Red Willow, 100; Hayes, 200; Frontier, 40; Furnas, 100; Lincoln, 700; Dawson, 45; Keith, 200 Douel, 40; Cherry, 40; McPherson, 40; Blaine, 20; Boyd, 250; Holt, 30; Antelope, 80; Keya Paha, 25; Knox, 25.

The testimony in the case was decidedly sensational, the first meeting occurring in a disreputable house at Omaha. Later on the woman was Saulpaugh's mistress.
