Thousands of baskets of peaches and bushels of pears aud apples were blown down. The money loss to the farmers will lie heavy. At Cape May, N. J., the lower deck of the ocean pier was washed away and much damage was done to the fish lug fleet at Jewell's Point. Many trees were blown down and great damage was done to growing corn and fruit in the outlying country. At Atlantic City, N. J., the lucky shifting of the wind to the northwest and con sequent blowing out of the tide was all that saved the boardwalk structures from harm. The roof of the Casino building at the head of Baltic avenue was blown oil while ail arouud town trees were uprooted or broken off. Over at Iirigantiue the electric railway was washed away while at C'helsiia telegraph poles fell victims to the highwater pressure. At Perth Amboy, N.

James Wallace, who started across the bay just before t he storm, hns not been heard from and it is believed that he has been lost. Around Flumington, N, J., the storm was very severe, a ail hundreds of basket* of peaches were blown off tlic trees. Fencos were blown down, large trees torn out of the ground and a vast amount of damage done (o growing crops. At Asbury I'nrk the greatest destruction Is recorded. There Founder Bradley's famous board walk is almost a complete wreck. Every one of the largo and small pavilions is more or less damaged, sumof them being so completely demolished as to required!tire rebuilding.

Wolcott of Jersey City, Stella, owned by Roland Pettitt of New York, Onelta, owned by S. 11. Crossley, u Vale man, and the schooner yacht Neta, belonging to John M. Musury of New York were blown ashore at Black Rock. They crashed into the George Hotel p!er, carrying It away ami then went to pieces upon una anoher. Gen. T L.

I., report says that four pontoous and a schooner that were in tow of a Merritt Wrecking Go's steamer, went ashore about two miles north of Narragausett pier. All five vessels are a total loss and the diver Wm. Coolan of Staten Island was entangled in the wreckage and drowned. The tow was ooming to that city to raise a sunken barge. There were nine men on tbe crafts eight of whom succeedad iu getting ashore much cut and bruised. The stornt was one of the wildest the Rhode Island coast has experienced in several years. At Hartford, Conn., the wind blew over fifty miles an hour. The various drills at camp were given np and the men flocked down to the shore. All the small boats in the bay dragged anchors and came ashore. The Morton Houso pier was destroyed by the battering of a sloop agaiust It. One large schooner was seen drifting and looked as if she had been deserted. New Haven's stately elms seemed to be a special mark for the storm. More than ilUtl were wrested from their places and toppled over and broken. The streets of the city in general resembled a forest. Street cars failed to run until !):00, when the efforts of a large gang of street cleaners proved effectual. Two horses were killed by stepping on a live wire which the storm had torn down. The damage to the harl>or is the greateot known in years. The oyster beds have especially suffered. They are thought to be completly banked in mud by the action of wind and wave and may prove a total loss. If tho beds are a total loss the money damage will ba many hundreds of thousands of dollars.

"The first continued story ever published in the United States came out in the Washington Era forty-five years ago, and was written by myself. I deserve no credit for it. however, for it was the merest accident. It was called 'Retribution.' and I had meant to make it about three columns long. New characters crept in, however, and I carried it through another issue of the paper, but I didn't eompleto it." The story ran through many numbers before it was finally completed. —H. II.

Ni:w Your, Aug. 25.—The storm of Wednesday night and yesterday inoruing was the severest known in yours and i.l14 great damage for hundreds of miles around New York, especially along the New Jersey coast and oil Loau mid Stat.cn islands. The barge was seen off the Southampton Life Saving station in a disabled condition. A short time afterward she drifted on the bat and commenced at one to go pieces. No sigu of life was visible about tho vessel and It is supposed the crew of five men were washed overlioard and drowned. The name of the barge is Lykens Valley, of Philadelphia, Capt. Scott. Six men from the towing steamer reached shore, three alive and three beyond resuseltion. The fifteen other men of the crews are belie veil to have been drowned, thus making a total loss of life of 18 persons. bad t> At; Tbe stonn did thousand* of dollars damngo to farm crops in Central New Jersey. All the peach trees in tho Hon. Wm. H. Grant's orchard at Middle town were blown down. Mr. Grant expected to pick over 5,000 baskets of peaches. The roads in some townships are impassable on account of the trees that lie across them and people are compelled to drive across the fields. A number of planted fields are badly damaged by washouta. Several washouts on the Long Branch railroad necessitated the suspension of ' travel. Repairs will bo made immediately and travel resumed in a day or two, At Long Branch the famous old ocean Iron pier Is a thing of the past. The storm carried away fully tour-fifths of It, and all that new remain* is about 93 feet from the shore out A large portion of the pier waa oast upon the beach just south of North Broadway and directly Into Coroner Van Dyke's fish pond.

The tide was (he highest ever known. A large amount of damage was done to sailing crafts. At West Brighton which is a veritable nest of houses, the damage is more marked. Palmer's mammoth bathing pavilion, the largest building ill the world devoted to such a purpose, Is a wreck, the sides having been beaten in by tho heavy wiuds. Rows of bathing houses were torn from their foundations and distributed along the lieach and carried out to sen. Small buildings were overturned and there was a general wreckage of shanties, sheds, merry-go-rounds and other apparatus used to amuse tbe holiday crowds that visit the island. The marine railroad running to Manhattan Beach is totally washed out, shutting off this section of the island from communications with the West End, tho Brighton licftrti hotel grounds are wrecked and the lawn and walk completely gone. An Idea of the height of the tide can be gained wheu it is shown that it swept up to the Electric railway tracks on Sea Breeze avenue, nearly an eighth of a mile from low water mark. At Rockaway Beach the storm raised havoc with the frame hotels and "cottages. Many of them weiv partially or wholly wrecked, but no loss of life has been reported. Over 300 feet of the iron pier was swept away and mnny roofs and chimneys blown off. Tho loss is estimated at between $10,000 and 315,000. The railway bridge over the tidal streams between Averne and Far Reckaway was washed out. Communication between the two places was cut off and It became necessary to Fend aH trains to Long Island City around by way of Valley Stream and Jamaica. Reports by incoming steamboats, from the surrounding localities and resorts, show that the storm has played havoc with the small sailing craft, and that the shon s are strewn with wrecks of schoonrtfs, yachts and tugs. South ami-ton, L. I., Aug. 25.—About 0 o'clock yesterday morning two vessels, a ccal barge and a towing vessel were wrecked off the ooast at this point, follow in the wake of the severe storm. Up to tho present writing six men from the wrecked vessels have been washed ashore out of total crew of 21 men on both vessels.Kricson. > All of the bonts vvere from New London and were owned by their respective captains.The <:rt»vr of tho Chocorua say that no small ho.it could possibly live in the sea that was running at the time and the dot ies on board could have been of no possible use to the crews of the two vessels.
