Boston, Nov. 28.—-It is known defi nitely tonight that more than seventy lives have been lost in the wrecks of tugß, schooners and coal barges during the storm of Saturday night and Sun day morning, and if the steamer Port land has also gone down, as now seems possible, the list of casualties will rise to 140. with over 100 vessels of all de scriptions ashore, two score of them total wrecks, and an unknown number probably beneath the waves of Massa chusetts bay. There is scarcely a bay, harbor or inlet from the Penobscot to New Lon dod that has not on its shores the bones of some staunch craft, while all along Massachusetts bay, and especially Bos ton harbor, the beaches are piled high with the wreckage of schooners and coal barges* The record, although hourly lengthening, is still incomplete, for the ocean graveyard of Cape Cod is still to be heard from. The annoyance and inconvenience of the railroad and street car embargo, covering the whole of southern New England, sunk into insignificance before the story of de struction by wind and wave, yet it will be many a day before the full import of the disaster is known or even real ized. SHORES STREWN WITH WRECKAGE. The islands of Boston harbor are without exception strewn with wrecks and wreckage; no" less than twenty nine vessels are ashore at Gloucester; over twenty in the supposed safe har bor of Vineyard Haven parted their anchor chains yesterday and are high and dry on the beach. The upper har bors of Boston, Plymouth, Salem, Portsmouth, Portland and other places where vessels are supposed to be com paratively safe, were the scenes of nu merous collisions between the ships aud the wharves. Every life-saving crew performed deeds of heroism in rescuing crews from stranded vessels, and tugboat cap tains risked life and property in their endeavor to save life. LIGHTHOUSE KEEPERS IN DISTRESS. Among the tugs which started down the harbor as soon as daylight came was the police boat Guardian, which last night was caught in the thick weather off Deer island, while endeav oring to ascertain the meaning of dis tress signals flying from the lighthouse. She made for the tiny bacon which marks the inner harbor channel again this morning, and with a tossing sea and a strong incoming tide tried to answer signals. Finally it was learned the lighthouse had no fresh water, for the heavy sea had broken in the bulk heads and spoiled the water stored there. There were five men in the lighthouse. The two boats which usu ally hung from the davits had been splintered by the force of the waves, and the sea was was washing over the lighthouse with such force, that there was little hope of reaching there. 810 LINER DRIVEN HIGH AND DRY. Beyond Deer island lies the big Wil son liner Ohio, and the steamer C. A. White is ashore. It is a matter of sur prise to harbor pilots how the Ohio reached her present l»erth. She stands up bodily without the semblance of a list, on a hard gravel bottom, in water which at flood tide this morning hardly came to the level of the propeller shaft. The white evidently lies on the rocks. FROZEN TO DEATH IN THE BIOOINO. From the wreck of the three-masted schoonea Calvin F. Baker, on Shag Bocks, the two mates were taken off by C'apt. James and his crew from across the bay at Hull. It was daybreak when the Baker was seen and the life boat was sent out on its mission. The pull was a long one and when finally the wrecked vessel was reached, three bodies were seen lashed to it. Two of them had life in them, but the other had been frozen stiff to his lashings. ANOTHER TERRIBLE SCENE. Another terrible scene was that at Thompson's island, where the city's reform school is situated. Against the wharf were driven four down-east ves sels, each of which, at the time the storm broke, was anchored miles away, and each a long way from the others. An idea of the force of the wind is shown in this instance, for after drift iug across the bay, one after another brought up against the pier, one being driven entirely out of the water. The craft are the Virginia, of which barely avestageis left: the Watchman, the Seraphine and the Fred M. Emerson. The last three are in one great heap of timber and rigging, mixed with debris from the Virginia. Two lives were lost in the latter craft. William B. I Stanley, the captain's son, was washed ashore and resuscitated. Of the other wreckage, the most i singular is that of the tug Tainaqua, on Bainsford island. She has gone straight on against a promontory of rocks, and there seems little chance of getting her off. Her consort, a Bead ing barge, was easily floated this after noon. Other evidences of the storm are to be found on every headland and in nearly every cove, for numerous wrecks, snow and sleet covered, are piled up there. Some wrecks perhaps will never be accounted, so thoroughly have the wind and the waves done their work. The managers of the Boston and Portland Steamship company stated tonight that there are grave doubts as to the safety of the steamer Portland, which sailed from here Saturday night. Every harbor between here and Port land on the shore has been heard from and one of the south shore and in no 'case has the steamer been seen. The only remaining harbor which she could have reached is Provincetown on Gape God and news from that port is anxious ly awaited, as it is still impossible to reach that port by wire. She carried sixty-five passengers snd a crew of fifteen men. Th« American Apple Crop The apple crop is known to be one of the poorest, and according to investi gations of the B. W. Snow crop-report ing agency, the worst of recent yean, amounting to 27,681,000 barrels of merchantable stock, excluding cider apples! This is 14,000,000 barrels toss than last year, and less than half of the great crop of 70,000,000 two yean ago. These are approximate comparisons, as the product of this greatest of all-our fruits is quite variable, and on several accounts difficult to calculate. These estimates make the avenge consump tion of apples, including a reasonable allowance for unmerchantable in do mestic use, and in drying or evapora ting, not far from a bushel to each unit of population. The distribution is very unequal: Western New York is the greatest source of commercial supply, the New England states next, and the Blue Ridge region of Virginia is promi nent Western Michigan is the great apple region of the west, and theOzark plateau and bluffs of the Missouri next in prominece. Michigan is this year credited with by far the most abund ant supply, or 5,000,000 bushels, while New York has a very small orosv Pennsylvania one nearly as poor, and in New England the crop is very much better, though still a small one. The general failure is attributed largely to the working out of the pollen in spring, and frosts at the time of setting of the fruit. The excessive moisture of the season favored fungous diseases, which Impaired appearance and quality. The Ontario crop is short, but that of Nova Scotia is nearly a full one. FBUTT PROSPECTS GOOD. State Commissioner Baker Returns From a Tour of tke State. A Tacoma dispatch to the P.-I. says: •'State Commissioner of Horticulture J. E. Baker is here from an extended visit through the interior, and reports an excellent fruit crop in all sections. He calls attention to the fact that evap orators and dryers for preparing fruit Tor market are not as plentiful as they should be, and that for this reason alone much fruit will go to waste which should be turned into money. "Referring to the state fruit lands in general, Mr. Baker says there are many inquiries from intending settlers from all parts of the east, looking to their location in Washington with a view to raising fruit for the market. The fruit acreage, he says, is steadily on the in crease, and the almost limitless possi bilities in this line he predicts will soon place Washington far In the lead as a fruit growing state. But a small frac tion of the fruit lands are as yet under cultivation, and with the arrival of new settlers this branch of farming is sure to take long strides to the front." - Beauty la Stood Doep.

If allowed to advance, this reaches the Second stage, or Bladder trouble, with heavy pain iv the abdomen low down between the navel and the water passage, increasing desire to urinate, with scalding sensation in passing, small quantities being passed with difficulty, sometimes necessary to draw it with instruments. If uric acid or gravel has • formed, it will prove dangerous if neglected. , ■ The Third stage is Bright's Disease.
