London, Sept. 29. A dispatch from
St. Petersburg to the Telegraph, describ
ing the situation in Russia arising from
the "failure of crops, and detailing the
harrowing incidents of the famine now
prevailing, says that not for centuries
has such widespread distress been re
corded. The Telegraph' s correspondent
says the authorities have delayed taking
any action to relieve distress until it was
too late. In addition to the scarcity of
of food, which caused untold suffering,
the distress is intensified by the enor
mous number of unusually disastrous
fires throughout the famine-stricken dis
trict, in many districts entire villages
being destroyed. Added to this came
the cattle plague. Thousands of head of
cattle perished, and many families thus
lost their only subsistence. What little
food it is possible for the peasants to ob
tain is of the vilest description, but so
sharp are the pangs of hunger that they
gladly eat stuff that at other times thev
would not touch.

An Attempt to Wreck a Train ly Half
Kreeda.
Eureka, Sept. 29. A horrible acci
dent was narrowly averted on the Arcala
& Mad River railroad early Sunday
morning. Saturday there was a dedica
tion and ball to dedicate the new Odd
Fellows' hall. The train, returning
about 1 o'clock next morning, having on
board twenty-five or thirty families of
this city and Arcala, found a heavy
plank across the track, which the pilot
of the engine did not touch, but which,
fortunately, was caught by the sand
pipes, and shoved along in front of the
wheels till the engineer could stop. It
is supposed that eome half-breeds, who
have tried in vain to enter the Odd Fel
lows' lodge, attempted to wreck the
train.
DESTRUCTIVE STOItMT.

Damage Done.
Grand Rapids, Minn., Sept. 28. A

which is unsettled and unoccupied, ex
cept by claim holders and cruisers for
timber and mineral lands. Whole town
ships are known to have been swept
over. If half that is reported is true,
there has been damage to pine timber
mounting to many thousands of dollars.
