The Palace Undermined BERLIN, May 15.â€"The National Zeitung publishes a despatch from St. Petersburg saying that the Russian police, acting on a warning from the police of Paris, have discovered a. number of mines under the Gatschina palace, the mines extending for a distance of several kilometers around i the palace. The Russian government has tried to hush up the fact of the discovery. The populace of St. Petersburg are ter- rorized, believing that the recent explo- smns at the Nicolai bridge and the death of Gen. Gresser are connected with a. plot ?Ruob-éon, Mallon, Touchburn, Con- against. the Czar. VALENCIA, Venezuela. May 13.â€"Two more attempts to blow up Government building; in Caracas with dynamite bombs have taken place. The Federal palace was one of the edifices which the revolu- tionists sought to wreck. The bomb was placed alongside the building at 7 o’clock in the evening. Fortunately no damage was done, but the news of the attempt spread rapidly through all parts of the capital, and added to the intense excite- ment already existing there among all classes. While the whole city was in a state of terror over the discovery the other bomb was fired. This was at half-past eight o’clock. The scene was the military headquarters, and it was a most. daring attempt. The bomb was placed close to the building, which, at the time, was filled with Palacio’s soldiers, who, after having been called to the palace to the aid the police in guarding it and searching for the bomb throwers, had returned to head- quarters with orulers to hold themselvesin _ readiness for any emergency. The build- ing was brilliantly lighted, and the sold- iers were in groups discussing the other explosion, when suddenly there was a‘ deafening report, and the structure was violently shaken. All the panes of glass were smashed, and every light went out. Darkness added to the terror of the situa- tion. No one, however, was killed or injured seriously. A man who is suspect- ed of having thrown the bomb has been .a a .1â€"( (“LI ‘IAAA‘ arrested. TOWN COUNCIL. LINDSAY, THURSDAY, MAY= 19th, 1892.

Australia, May 13.â€"-The system of dual control of the New He- brides agreed upon between the French and English Governments works anything but. well, and the natives have grown ag- gressive. si-Th‘is resulted in the recent murder of an Englishman named Sewers by the natives. Sawers and a man named Malcolm went from Victorla to the New Hebrides and bought a plantation near the French settlement. Sawers was mur- dered by the natives who were employed to work for-him without the slightest; provocation. Malcolm managed to escape to the mission station of Tangoa, two miles distant. Sawers’ body was carried off by cannibals for food. ST. LOUIS, Mo., May 16.â€"â€"Opposite Jefferson barracks, on the Illinois side of the river, a number of houses have been undermined by the flood and wrecked. It is believed all the occupants escaped. Re- porters stationed on the Merchant’s bridge in North St. Louis have seen sev- eral dead bodies floating in the water. Most of them evidently came from a long ldistance. It is now a common sight to see small houses and furniture travelling past. All railroad traffic over Ends bridge has been abandoned, owing to the flooded tracks. The Burlington, Alton and other roads run trains over the Merchant’s bridge. The Walker Soap Works, the . Laflin Powder Company’s depot. Mercer and Hanson Fertilizing Company’s estab? lish ment and several dairies and ware- houses are all fllooded and work h-LS been stopped. The river here is 35 feet, and should it rise another foot it is impossible to tell the amount of damage that may be done. The Missouri and Missippi are , still rising above here. Still Another Appallirg Colliery Dis- aster. PESTH, May 13.â€"An immense water- spout burst to-day in the neighborhood of the collieries situated in the city of Fuenf- kirchen. the capital of the County of Ba- ranya.

The water poured into the mines so quickly that the unfortunate men who were engaged at work in the lower levels received no warning of their danger, and before they had a. chance to escape they were struggling in the torrents which had almost 1nstantaneously engulfed ‘ ‘ ‘ A i 1 7A _ ,, ”L w“ w-â€"â€"â€" . them. They stuggled desperately to reach the shafts or any parts of the mines which seemed likely to afford them a place of safety, but the water rapidly rose higher and higher, and in a short time every avenue of escape was shut off and the men perished miserably. The Water did net reach the upper levels and the miners working in these portions of the mines made their Way to the surface as quickly as possible. Thousands of miners and others at once set to work to recover the bodies of the men in the flooded levels. Every pit was speedily surrounded by men, women and children, and heart- that 22 men are dead in one pit alone. and that many more have lost their lives in the other pits. Owing to- the great excitement which prevails in the place it is impossible at present to obtain an exact list of all the dead, but it will doubtless reach startling proportions. By John Craig, Horticulturist to Experi- mental Farms. The disease particularly referred to in the following is known among viticulurists as “downy mildew,” “brown” or “gray rot” of the grape, and to scientists as Peronospom m'tt'ola, was very severe last year in many grape growing districts. It ‘has been particularly destructive in the Eastern and Central States, and also in V\ estern Ontario. Last year it was pre- valent in vineyards in the Province of Quebec, and also in the Ottawa Valley. As a rule it is first noticed on the fruit â€"â€"when about half formedâ€"«presenting a downy and frosted appearance, which gives place to a grayis brown in the latter stages. The berries shrivel and fall to the ground when slightly shaken. Beginning with one or two varieties in the vineyard, the disease it allowed to run its course will spread rapidly, attacking other kinds which were at first entirely exempt. y--__, It usually alfects the leaves and wood I later in the season, sometimes in the case ‘ of early varities after the fruit has been gathered. This stage of the disease was prominent as affecting.' the Roger Hybrids in the Experimental Farm vineyard last season. At first it is seen on the upper surface of the leaf showing in brown spots, while the lower surface presents the frosted ap- ‘ pearance resembling that form of the ‘disease affecting the fruit. This particu- lar leaf form is not easily detected on grapes having the thick pubescent leaves characteristic of the Concord family. TREATMENT. Carbonate of copper ...... . 2 oz.

PETERBOROUGH, May 13.â€"The prelimi- nary trial of ~W. J. Young, alias F. C. E Austin, the young man of Keene, who t was arrested here charged with offering. counterfeit bills for sale, was concluded in a the Police Court this morning. The prisoner was committed for trial. He was admitted to bail, sureties to the amount of $2,000 being given. 'Wm. Leper, the tRoseneath young man who was charged with offering to purchase counterfeit money, also received his preliminary hear- ing. The magistrate held that there was nothing in the evidence or the letters of Leper, found upon Young when arrested, to show the character of the goods he was seeking to procure. Therefore he dis- charged the prisoner. Mr. Thomas Buck, one of the oldest and most respected residents of this couty, died at his residence in Norwood at an early hour this morning from the results of a paralytic stroke with which he was prostrated on Tuesday. The diseased was born in Yorkshire, England, in 1819, and was born therefore 73 years of age at the time of his death. He came to Asphodel township in 1832, with his father, and later occupied a farm there until 1881, when he moved to Norwood.

WELLINGTON.N.Z., May 16.â€"â€"A terrible hurricane has passed over central New Zealand and the damage done is enormous. Long before the hurricane broke the baro- meter gave warning of its coming, but very little could be done to protect property from its fury. The sky, which 1 had been blue and cloudless, gradually took on a muddy yellowish tinge. Sud- denly far out at sea could be seen a dark cloud resting upon the waters and rapidly approaching the land. The air became dark, a sudden coolness permeated the at- mosphere. nearer and nearer approached the swiftly coursing messenger of destruc- tion, and then with a shriek and a howl the gale burst in all its fury. It is late autumn in the Antipodes .and in many places the crops were awaiting the hands of the harvesters. Hundreds of acres of wheat, corn. oats and barley were ruined, ‘ the standing crops being beaten down and ’ badly twisted and matted. The rain fell in sheets, threshing leaves from the trees, and causing the small streams and brooks to be rushing torrents. Long stretches of the railroad embankments were washed away by the rushing waters, and traffic was suspended. At sea the scene defied description. The vessels in the offing, which before the gale could be seen lying under storm sails, were soon lost to view in the swirling cloud rack. After the storm passed it was found that many coasting vessels had been piled up on the shores, and it is be- lieved that the loss of life, when all the details have been received, will prove to have been very heavy. Reports from all parts of the country visited by the hurri- cane show that buildings have been either blown down by the hurricane or unroofed in every direction. The money damage caused by the storm cannot be estimated. No details from the interior are as yet nrocurable owing to the washing out of roads and the cutting off of all means of communication.

Twenty thousand men attended the railwaymen’s demonstration in London Monday. A special cable despatch says the meeting was a perfectly orderly one, and, after adopting with enthusiasm reso- lutions in favor of the eight-hour day, the assemblage dispersed. A despatch from Portage la Prairie, Man... states that as Mr. Joseph Martin had retired from the election contest in order to proceed to England to argue the Manitoba scl‘ool case, Mr. Robt. Watson, M.P., would be ofiered the nomination for the constituency with a promise of a place in the Cabinet. An aged nurse named Meyer, residing ; at Backenhim, a suburb of Frankfort, has been arrested, charged with causing the death of fifty-eight infants.
