A PLAGUE OF EGYPT. MISSOURI HAS A VISITATION OF GRASSHOPPERS. Disaster In Puget Sound—Slugger Mitchell Sent to Hard Labor in Prison—A Badly Wanted Keir—Couldn’t Marry Both. Five Men Are Dead. The Canadian Pacific Navigation Company’s steamer Premier was struck by the steam collier "Willamette in a dense fog off Whidby Island, about ten miles south of Port Townsend, in Puget Bound, Sunday afternoon. Four persons were killed, one drowned, and seventeen badly grounded. The steam tug Goliah reached Seattle with three of the dead, all of the wounded, and the other passengers, after having spent several hours in the attempt to save from the wreck the body of an unknown passenger wedged in there. The Premier sunk in twentyfour feet of water. It will cost $50,000 to raiso it. The steamship Premier, was an old and well-known boat of the Canadian Pacific Navigation Company. It was built at‘San Francisco in 1887, was of 1,080 gross and 602 net tonnage, 200 feet long, 42 feet beam, and 12 feet 9 inches depth. It was a screw propeller. Grasshoppers Destroyed Wheat. Millions of grasshoppers have made their appearance in the country around St. Joseph, Mo., and the wheat crop threatens to be a total failure in consequence. The young blades of wheat are eaten off so close to the ground that it dies at the root, and in many cases the fields hat e already been plowed under. The continuous warm, dry weather has hatched out young hoppers until the fields are brown with them, and unless a cold rain or frost kills them off thousands of dollars’ worth of damage will ba done. Fourteen counties in Missouri report to the State Secretary of the Board of Agriculture that the insects are so numerous that they are causing alarm to the larmers. In many parts of Kansas they are said to ; be threatening to destroy many acres of wheat. Mitchell Gets Ills Deserts. The London pugilist, Charles Mitchell, or, as he registered, Charles Smith, was sent to Holloway Jail for two months’ hard labor at the Bow Street Polico Court for a brutal assault on George Salvage, an aged Strand lodging-house keeper.

The police officials testified that the pugilist was a most dangerous man. Several convictions of assault were proven against him. After sentence he asked the court if he “called this British justice.” The court said that Mitchell and his class were worthless and a menace to society. On his way to court Mitchell was soundly hissed by the crowd. Is Needed to Settle the Estate. A reward of SI,OOO has been offered for information as to the whereabouts of William Bick, who was last seen in Western Minnesota seven years ago, and who is now believed to be in St. Pau! lie is waßUd.tvfl g ßist.. ■ nu ttHHieirse sum of money now in the hands of the Administrator General and Accountant General of India. The fortune was left by Bick’s grandfather, William Bruce, an Englishman, who went to India fifty years ago and became wealthy in trade. The story is romantic in the extreme. All attempts to find Bick have thus far proved futile. Improved Crop Prospects. R. G. Dun & Co., in their weekly review of trade, say: The first week of October shows more activity, in spite of the near approach of the Presidential election. Business is distinctly better at the South, on account of the improvement in the price of cotton, more active at the West, with improved crop prospects, and only slightly retarded in the East. In general, speculation has disturbed legitimate lines of trade much less during the past quarter than is usual at this s-eason, although the transactions in cotton have been exceedingly heavy.
