FIERCE STORMS.
DAMAGE IN WESTERN AUSTRALIA. WIND 100 MILES PER HOUR. PERTH, March 10. A fierce electrical storm swept the south-east agricultural districts. Extensive damage was caused to crops, houses and fences, and a strip of country twenty miles long and five miles wide was laid bare. At Pingelly, a hundred-mile-an-hour gale swept the town, unroofing houses and razing fences and hundreds of trees. Nearly every home in the district was damaged. Many creeks overflowed their banks. At Narrabeen thirty chains of railway were washed away.
