STORM IN AUSTRALIA.
SETTLERS FROZEN TO DEATH. EXTENSIVE DAMAGE CAUSED. By Telegraph.—Prew Assn —Copyright. Received August 4, 10.25 p.m. Sydney, August 4. Last night’s storm played havoc to the historic St George’s free Presbyter ian Church in Castlereagh Street. The upper portion of the tower, which is 120 feet high, canted, and displaced pieces smashed through the roof. The tower has a dangerous lean over the street, which is barricaded and tram traffic is stopped. Gales, rain and snow are causing extensive damage in the country. A teamster near Crookwell had his camp banked in by snowdrifts and was frozen to death. This is the second similar case at Crookwell, where a halfcaste was' frozen to death a few days ago.
