It Was heavily *belled and driteen off, and Waa pro- bably damaged. 8hortly-afterWards It witi'ltrought down in flames by a. Viler Of the It. F. C. -A second airship raided a town on the kent coast and dropped six zbotabs. Three_ people were killed and 20 injured, while a -large num- . bar of houses were damaged: - The zeppelin, . as subsequent in- quiries showed, came down a few miles from the coait. She was first winged by the anti-aircraftguns, And thea given the coup de grace by •nin aeroplatte. The aix-ship fought the aeroplane with her guns, but the ,end soon. came, and she deicended .41, field of green corn away from any habitation and was utterly destroyed. Our airman landed safely. A police inspector said the zeppe- lin was flying at a great height and Its outline could be barely distin- guished, even with the aid of the :searehlights. Ia spite of this the guns pounded away hard, and a few shots seemed to reach the airship, -which wobbled badly, as if damaged. The coast batteries continued to fire heavily on the raider, while a num- ber of aeroplanes manoeuvred so aa to cut off her retreat. "Suddenly," said -the inspector, ethe firing ceased, and almost imme- diately I caught sight of a British -machine climbing close to the air- ship. The se-archlights lit up the sky and it was possible to follow the raider's movement's. She twisted and turn, as if making a desperate • attempt to beat the aeroplane off, and in the stillness of the night very rapid firing could he .heard up aloft. This came from the machine-guns of the zeppelin, which was fighting a life -and -death duel with the aero- plane. 1 saw she was making a last effort to get out of reach, and she headed again for the coast. Almost simultaneously an- -ether British machine came into: -view and the zeppelin began to zig- zag, as if dodging a succession of shots. Once more she appeared .to ecom.e Wand, her movements so er- retie as to suggest that her common- -der was at his wits' end to avert dile aiilter. But the first of our aeroplanes held to its quarry and flee minutes later the airship burst into flames amidships, broke into two parts, and crashed inn! a 'field." • Motor -cars rated to the scene, and 'the areanwherein the wreckage lay was cut off from the view of the gen-. eral public. Doctors hastened to see if aid might' be given to the crew, but in most cases.only charred skeletons tentained. In fields close by parts of the limbs of sortie of the crew were, round, from 'title it is inferred that they had jumped from the airship. All day long there was a pilgrimage of sightseers to the spot, which, during the day, was fenced off by barbed wire, and guarded by/ a core - don of police and soldiers. It was about 10 o'clock on Satur- day night that warning came through eaemy airships being on the way, and specials and others took up their • 'appointed places. As the night wore on many retired to get a brief sleep, but still large 3aumbers congregated on the side- walks, and neighbors kept each other • company at doorways. About mid- night.there was a terrific crash away to the atorth, followed by dull irre- gular booming to the southward. Then came two more crashes, which eilltook the plaee, and seemed to indi- eate that something was happening near at hand. Following were a seriesof regular -thuds, some- four - i teen n all, which were assumed to be the sounds of gunfire. Then the ilawn began to make. The sky be- came of a pearly gray, 'with just that lavender tinge peculiar to midsum- • mer, and the birds began to chirrup and sing.. Overhead could be heard the humming of aeroplanes, flying high above the haze. This died *.way, and then about 3 o'clock came a. faint droning from apparently the south-west. There was no need to ask what it came from, most of us had heard it before -the coming of a zeppelin, culminating in house- wreeking explosioas, and with a cau- tion borne of previous experience shelter was taken. Those more dar- ing keptea look out, and they had their reward. The droning became louder, but there was • nothing of bomb dropping. Then could be heard the shaatper note of aeroplane - en- gines' whirring. All eyes were. turn- ed in the dilrectioa of the sounds, but powerful glasses failed to reveal anything away there in the hazy south-west. 's Suddenly there was a sharp flash in. the heavens like a. short lightning streak succeeded by a dull glowing spot. Excited cries of "They've hit her ---they've got her! She's 'hit! She's hit!" came from hundreds of spectators. The spot grew to the size ef an orange. It increased in size, a vivid eplaeli ofcrimson against the' sky. It spread in spasmodic flashes. Creat buring flakes fleeted down thel are of the sky from an obioeg blaz- ing' mass, that see -sawed up and elowe with a curiously grotesque movement -like a firework figure la a setpiece. Then something dropped ,down, end directly after the • great fiere riata..411 broke in' 4-wo, and before slight northerly • wind gradually Slid down the sky out of sight. All this time the crowd had been 'shout- -Jug and cheering for all they were -worth, and when • the final tame, a combined roar .of satisfaction went tuo. ,11:URON EXPOSITOR BRAN ALARM; • Toronto, Dec, 81. -Beans, Canadian hand-Pieketr.$8100 to $8.50; imported handpicked $(0.50 to $7; limas, 17c to 174c. - • PoULTRY MARKET.

The market was weaker gen erally, with the exception of hogs which were strong and advanced. Cat tie teading was slow, and prices sehed uleccfor a decline. Attendance of buy ers was small, and the big increase i consumption of poultry to the 'exclu sion of meats probably accounts fo the general weakness. Lambs wer porninent, declining fully one dolla per 100 pounds. A large number o country killed lambs are being shippe in, which sell in the neighborhood o 22 cents. Charges are much. less on the froen stock, alloeving them *0 se] at nearly cents under the live stuff which has „curtailed buying. There have been a number on the market for several days past but no one seemed disposed to buy. This morning. some choice lambs offered at $16.50 did no get any' enquiries, although a number sold at $16. Sheep the steady, $11 to $12: per 100 pounds, and calves also at $7 to $10 for grass fed and •milk fed at $14. Onli/ a very few were offered. Hogs were strong, sell- ing at $19.50 for choice selects, .and • other grades proportionately. Canners' cattle was in fair demand at $5.25 to $6.50. At the C. P. R. yards offer- ings were 250 cattle, 350 sheep and lainbs, 300 .hogs and 50 calves. Union Stock Yards, Toronto, Jan 1, --This -morning's was the first real marketat the yards for over a week.

A few loads of extra choice steers found values between 11.25 -an• d to $12. Mediugood butchers were a much stronger representation and sold from $9.50 to $10.25, Best epws • and bulls went forward in fair num- bers and cashed in from $9.50 to $10. Several extra choice cows cashed in at $10 .25 and one extra nice bull at 11 cents. Canners and cutters- arid • bologna bulls were active and steady and practically everything in the kill- ing line was cleaned up. • Half a dozen loads of stockers and feeders which cdst from $8 to 9.75 • were sent out.
