MANY PEOPLE ARE INJURED. The DamHf^e to Property I* Very Heavy. Thr^e PerHons Killed by a Palling: Wall— Many Plnaden, Chlmneyii anil ItoofH of Churches ll^>\vn Off—Panic In a Hospital. London, March 25.—A terrific Rale «et in late Saturday niRlit and is utill prevailing. The storm is general throughout Great Britain. There has beeu immense damage to property in many of the large towns. Piuacles, roofs and chimneys of a number of churches were blown off and manufactories were similarly damaged. In many places church services were suspended. A great number of trees were prostrated by the gale and much damage was done to dwelling houses. In many parts of tho country the telegraph lint's are down. A few minor casualties are reported from along the coast. Many people hav% been injured by falling debris. A wall collapsed in the east end of Loudon anil three persons were crushed to death beneath it. Three turrets of the pinnacles on the west front of the Petersborongh cathedral were blown down. Other buildings in the town were damaged and a number of persons were injured. The roof of the railway station at Stratford-on-Avon was blown off and a number of monuments in the Paris churchyard were damaged. In Birmingham tho gale was felt with exceptional severity. A man and three children were killed there. The property damage in the town is estimated at thousands of pounds. Chimney* Cra*h Intn n Ilo.pltal, Two men and a girl in Leichester were struck by falling debris and almost instantly killed. Every house in the Aylestone district was damaged. In Walsall two chimrieystacks were blown over. They crushed through the roof of a hospital, broke through the flooring and carried nine beds with patients in them into the room beneath. For a time the excitemenliln and around the hospital was most intense, and the wildest sorts of rumors were afloat, some having it that a dozen persons had been killed. As quick as possible the work of clearing away tho wreckage was commenced and it jvas found that nobody had been killed. The nine occupants of the beds were extricated alive, but badly

injured.

At Kings Lynn immense damage was done to property. A great number of flue trees and several farm buildings at Sandringham, the country residence of tho Prince of Wales, near Kings Lynn,

wore destroyed.

INCOME TAX CASES.

Intimation That a l><-oi*lnn May Bo

Handed Down Today.

Washington, March 25.—Tho recess of the United States supremo court will terminate today, but as this is the day of the week on which the court usually hands down decisions, there are some who think that a decision may be given on the income tax cases. It is understood that the members of the court have boon in consultation concerning the cases, and while it would be most unusual for them to come to a conclusion in so important a matter soon after the conclusion of the argument, it is suggested that the exigencies of the government are such that a special effort will be made in the present instance.
