LONDON, Dec. from various points in South Wales state that the gale has been especially severe hi that part of tho country. The wind storm was accompanied by heavy rain, and the result has been that some of the rivers have overflowed their banks, doing much damage.

Quito a number of accidents have also been caused by the wreckage of roofs aud chimneys, falling bricks, tiles, eta. Thirty Lives Lost. The serious of all the disasters that have purred during the present storm is tho wreck of the British ship EuterMn, Captain Sinclair, which was bound froffl Hull for Brisbane.

She caught hi the storm while bound down the channel, and despite every ort made to save her she was driven, up on the Galloper Sands, off the port of Bamsgate, County Kent. Thirty lives were lost in the disaster, every person except an apprentice LJy being drowned. The Enterkin was driven ashore almost broadside on. After she had struck a part of the crew succeeded in launching a boat and got clear of the ship. They headed shoreward, but were almost immediately tnrown into the sea by the sinking of their boat.

All were drowned. Saved from tho Shortly afterward the ship keeled over, throwing all overboard. Only an apprentice boy succeeded in gaining the rigging. Here the bod remained throughout the night, drenched and almost frozen. In the morning a fishing; smack sighted the wreck.

With difficulty a boat was brought alongside the EntwMn, and the boy was taken off. The rain has been so heavy in the districts drained by the Thames that the river is rapidly rising. In some places the low lands are. inundated. The slopes at Windsor Castle and some parts of the royal park are partly submerged.

The steamer Glenmire, from Cork, arrived at Plymouth, and rqports a most extraordinarily rough passage. In fact she came very near foundering. About erne hundred and fifty cattle on board were either dead or so badly hurt that they had to be killed. Bryan's Proposed Reforms. WASHKOTOK, Dec.

J. Perkins Shanks, an American engineer, who for the last twenty-two years has resided in Chile, and who arrived here a few days ago, tells this story of how Balmaceda was betrayed. "When Balmaceda sent his minister to request Seffor TJribirrn to shelter him against an attack of insurgents it was agreed that Balmaceda should arrive at the Argentine legation at 4 o'clock in the morning. When he arrived he was met by the senor, and on entering he met, face to face, the wife of his most bitter enemy. Mrs.

Carlos Walker Martinez, who had taken refuge in the same legation, fearing an attempt Qn her life ou the part of the Balmace- "Great confusion followed the meeting. and the lady was compelled to take a solemn oath not to divulge the whereabouts of Balmaceda. But she entered into intrigue with the Argentine minister to betray Balmaceda to Jorge Montt. "Word was eent notifying Montt of Bahnaceda's hiding place. Montt immediately took steps to induce the ex- dictator to surrender himself peacefully to the newly constituted authorities.

promising every guarantee of a fair and just trial Balmaceda agreed to surrender during the holidays. From the day Balmaceda received the first word from Montt he commenced preparing for death, and began writing instructions disposing of all his personal affairs, and when the time arrived for him to surrender he killed himself, knowing he could not receive justice." THE B01BTHROWER Inspector Byrnes Not Yet Satisfied of His Identity. MESSEMEB'8 PEHNSYLVANIA OLEW. Guerilla Warfare nt digit. CALCUTTA, Dec.

Hunza Niger tribesmen, though driven out of Nilt, their fortified stronghold, by Indian troops under command of Colonel Dnrand. and compelled to retreat to the mountains, have not been entirely subdued. They have recovered in a measure from the punishment inflicted upon them by the British forces and are conducting a sort of guerilla warfare that is very exasperating. Desultory firing is carried on daily, but thus far there have been no casualties since the first engagements. Colonel Durand, Captain Ayliner and Lieutenant Badcock and the twenty Sepoys who were wounded at the storming and capture of Nilt, and Lieutenant Gordon and the seven Se- poys who were wounded during the pursuit of the tribesmen in the mountain are all making favorable progress towards recovery.

Tho Cherokee Chief Dead. TAIIEQUAII. Dec. B. Mays, chief of the Cherokee nation, died here yesterday.

The assistant chief is very ill. Joel Bryan Mays was born in the Cherokee reservation Oct. 2. 1833. His father was white and his mother of mixed'blood, being descended on her paternal Bide from James Adair, an Indian agent under George HI.

Jorl graduated from the Cherokee male seminary in 1850, and taught until the beginning of the civil war, when he enlisted in the Confederate After the war he was made county commissioner and chief ot the Cherokee court. While holding the position of county Judge he was chosen associate and subsequently chief justice of the supreme court. He became chief of the Cherokee nation in August, 1887. The Valparaiso Outrage. VALPARAISO, Dec.

No public statement has been made about It, but it is reported that it will exculpate the Chilean police, charge the Americans with having provoked the The Coroner Inclines to the Belief That a Letter from Philmiclphia Will TJnravel the oross' Dentist Sustained by au Brain Diseased. NEW YORK. Dec.

identification of the Arcade building bomb thrower does not progress as rapidly as might be expected after the many bits of evidence that he was probably Henry L. Norcross, of Boston. Tho detective bureau gave out the statement nothing new had been learned in tho matter to satisfy Inspector Byrnes thsst it Norcross who attempted to kill Sage. The last and most convincing discovery in connection with Norcross is the letter which was found bv lit; father in the desk in Norcross office in It satisfies Mr. Norcross' and his wife that it was their sou who vr the bomb.

Mr. and Mrs. Koi cross loft the arrangements for the removal of the remains in tho morjjuo, if they to be those of their sou, to a iir. Jv.r.l:;s, but lie has made no demand iir custody as yet. A Pennsylvania Clew.

Before he does there may be sufficie7it evidence offered that the remains iu the morgue are those of a Peim.sylv:gii:m. A letter to the coroners, E. Marsh, 8310 Market street, Philadelphia, inclosing the photograph of a man known to the writer to be missing, will be followed by further evidence. Coroner Messeiner has written Marsh to come to New York to view the head in the morgue, and the coroner said: "It is our theory that tho man referred to in the letter was tbe bomb thrower. His picture more nearly resembles that of the head than does Norcross.

It was taken this year, and the man pno familiar with tho oil regions, having lost been seen in Pittslmrg. Ho probably knew all about explosives, as these are used to start the wells flowing again after they have given out, and no name is better known in tho oil country than Rockefeller, of the Standard Oil company, whose name wna used to obtain an audience with Sage. I expect great developments from this Philadelphia source." Drs. Landor, Carter, Gray, Collins, McAlpin and Messeiner have made public their report on the examination of the bomb thrower's brain. Their opinion was that the brain was diseased and not normal, and Coroner Messemer is satisfied that the bomb thrower was mildly Insane, at any rate.

When the teeth were examined last evening it was discovered that there were nine fillings. As the fillings were precisely as had been previously stated by Dr. Edward Coggins. the Boston dentist who attended Norcross for ten years, it would seem to make the identification of the bomb thrower as Norcrosa complete.

The hall in tho Sons of AmericaBnild- ing presented a gay and festive appearance, with its floor crowded with fair women and brave men, who met to participate in the grand ball given by Morgan Lodge, No. 103, Amalgamated Association of Iron and Steel Workers. Promptly at 8:30 o'clock the inspiring strains of the Grand Central orchestra fell upon the ear, and the Grand March was txeouted in a beautiful manner. It was headed by Prof.

John Kane and sister, the music rendered being the "Red March," and the letters A. I. S. and double snail were formed. The scene presented under the glare of the brilliant lights, was one beautiful to behold, and went to show that these "men of iron" know as-well how to conduct a dance as to work before the heated furnaces and manipulate the raw material into merchantable iron.

A well-selected program of dances was gone through with and a night of pleasure experienced. Mr. Geo. R. Jones was master of ceremonies and Mr.

Robert Scidel assisted him as floor manager. The attendance was large and the order of the best description, so that nothing happened to mar the night's entertainment. ASSESSORS AT WORK.

In such cases the work that they should do invariably comes to the Mayor's office. The Mayor holds, and very correctly BO, that an incompetent in any of the co-ordinate branches of the city government is nothing more than barnacle and is really worse than an "old fogy," for whom Lebanon surely has no use. In this connection the Mayor properly given fire companies an opportunity to make choice of its officers for the ensuing year.

It is to bo hoped that care will be taken that none but good, competent firemen, be selected for these very responsible positions; none others should be chosen. The Mayor himself served tho people of Lebanon as chief engineer for five years, and earnestly trusts that he may have the pleasure of sending tho names of three active, competent firemen before Select Council for confirmation to fill the offices of chief and assistant engineers.

Krecker and his Bowman followers, of the Sixth Street Evangelical Church, Reading, applied to Court for an injunction to restrain Rev. J. II. Shircy, anit-Bowman, and adherents from preventing them from assuming the occupancy of the church. The 14 days which the anti- Bowman followers had to file an answer has expired, but no answer was put in, and it is now likely that the determination of the suit will be somewhat delayed, as tho next move of the Bowman people will bo ta apply to court for a rule on the other Bide for them to show cause why they should not file this answer.

They then have another four weeks in which to put in such an answer. In the meantime the Bowman adherents hold services in the Hebrew Synagogue. Letter Llrt. The following letters remain uncalled for in the Lebanon Post Office: Allbright, Soloman Boyer, Santa Glaus John H. Davis, D.
