Talk as to crop con- ditions here and abroad is wild and var- ious, but the opinion of conservative business men is that good prices for grain may be expected, to endure.

A Wide Extent or Territory Atreeted--" leu ',oqr.-& Cathedral ”amazed to Some k'xteatt--A Woman Dies or "ut". Great Britain is in the throes of a. genuine and unprecedented sensation. An earthquake, the most violent ever experienced in that country, has shale- on every shire from Durham to Sur- rey, and from London to the Welsh coast. The subterraneous disturbance was first noticed at 5.30 on Thursday morning. It lasted from four to thirty seconds, and at many points two distinct shocks were experienced. The most severe shocks were felt at Cheit- ennain, Ledbury and Dean Forest. The hearth shaking was accompanied by a loud rushing sound. Buildings were violently shaken, furniture was shift- ed, doors were thrown open, and pier tures and other ornaments were upset. The inhabitants were panic-slricken,and lied from their houses in terror; The earthquake also was felt at Birming~ ham and various points in Shropshire and was violent in Worcester and the country surrounding that city. Houses rocked and furniture was overturned. The expenditure on account of Crown land: amounted to $116,000 for this Lear. Forest ranging cost $31,000. and tire ranging 823.000. Election expenses for the ypar are set down at $6,000. Arbitration ex- enaes with Canada. and Quebec netted 516.000. Colonization pamphlets were Issued at a cost of 04,000. EARTHQUAKE IN fillll0llll TWO DISTURBANCES OF GREAT SEVERITY EXPERIENCED. The shocks were followed by a. trem- or of the earth, and were accompani- ed by A RUMBLING SOUND. At some points persons on the coun- try roads, who were going to work, were thrown down, and a. number of people were tbrown out of their beds. Hereford cathedral; was injured by the severe shock felt at that place. There the duh' rumbling beneath the earth's surface was followed by two terrific crashes, and a terrihlu lifting and rocking. The panic at Hereford was so great that one woman died of fright. People rushed wildly into the isthmus. Many chimneys feH, crashing unto the thoroughfares. and will the pmnacxs of St. Nicholas' church top- pled over, and part ot the pinnacle of tho cathedral tell to the ground. In London, the earthquake was orEy slightly felt.. A singular phenomenon took place at Bridgenorth, mar 'e)hrews- bury, previous to the disturbance. The streets suddeniry seemed to be on fire, and there wnsn vic/ertt report, accom- panied by earth shaking; People who were going to their work in that vicini- ty say they were for atime unahle to waik owing to the vibration. There was very great excitement among the rustic: about Podiawho thought that the and of the worM had come. At Liverpodl' the eartlfquake was preceded by heavy thunder, andafearo tux haidstorm. I Houses shook for nearly a minute at, Bristol and Clyde, causing much alarm at those places. The railroad employee at Crewe report they felt the rails na- cillate, and at Evesham the earthquake shock was followed by Up to Tuesday, the weather in Eng- land was unusually mild, but a Tuev. day there was a sudden change to se- vere frost, which was followed by dense fogs juyl squ ,on ..Wetinesfey.rt t in _ _the 5.19 In the mining district it was at, first thought. that the shocks were the re- salt of Collier? explosions. and thislrc- lief prevailed or some time afterwards; The disturbance was experiemwd with great violence at Warwick castle. The Earl of Warwick was awakened, and felt his bed liftml as though by Home force beneath it, and the furniture of his mom was shifted, . The inhabitants of Slough were awakened by a shock so Severe that they thought the Middlesex powder [aqtory had explofed. , , A large area. at ground sank near Stockport, and at Melton-Mowbray the noise which accompanied the earthquake shack rmwmbled a dis- charge M gun-coiton under water.

He was a. tall, well-dressed man, with iron- gray hair, and his queer actions at- tracted the attention of a court officer, who strode forward, laid his hand on his shoulder, and asked him what was the matter. "Oh, nothing," said the man, with- out even looking around. _ The words were scarcely out of his mouth when the man suddenly threw up both hands, and, with a sob, fell to the floor. At the same time one of the women prisoners gave a shriek and made an attempt to dash through the gate which shut her from the spec- tators. She was restrained with dit.. ficulty, and when two policemen car- ried the unconscious man out into the hall she fell over in a faint. "Well, you'll Lave to sit down," said the policeman. ' Two hours later the man died in the woman's arms in the Flower Hospital He never regained consciousness. Af- ter his death it required a number of the hospital attendants to get the wo- man away from the body.
