ANOTHER DESTRUCTIVE WIND 8TORM Stamford, Conn., May 13.—The beautiful oountry residence of Ferdinand Ward, the ex-flnanciar, was told at auction yesterday, together with its elegant furniture and appointments. Tha mansion is situated about two miles from the Stamford depot on what (s known as Strawberry hill, where many wealthy New Yorkers have fine properties. That owned by Ward is one of the finest on the hill. It stands back some hundreds of feet from the road on a gently rising knoll, and is partly hidden by groupi of tree?. The house is a three-story frame structure with a tower. To the right of it are the flower gardens and well appointed stables. The grounds comprise about twenty-flve acres. The sale was not very largely attended, about 100 people being present Many of these came through curiosity, and wandered at their sweet will through the twenty-two spacious rooms admiring the costly furnishings. Several New Tork gentlemen were the most active bidders. The sale was positive and was Under the direction of the probate court of Stamford. The real estate was first offered, and the bidding was slow. It started at (1,000 and rose by easy stages to $38,000, at which figure it was knocked down to C. Fred. Richards, of New York. He was heartily congratulated on his bargain. The property is estimated to be well worth anywhere between $50,000 and $60,000. About fifteen minutes only were oonsumed in the sale of real estate. Tha auction of house furnishings, comprising on the catalogue some 400 articles, then proceeded, pieoe by piece, in a tiresome manner unenlivened by any Incident. The property offered consisted of pairlor, dining room and chamber suits, lace curtains, portieres, china and glassware, bric-a-brac, carpets, pictures, bronzes, candelabra, clocks, Japanese goods of divers kinds, books, vases, jewel cases, rugs and a billiard table, together with Sold at Auction. BY THE SENATE. ON THE MARCH. Tmklt Mmr Yet Grow Out of the Br teatlon ot tka Bchoouar David J. Adama—Statement «l Capt. Kfnney Contradicted by Opt. Scott. Diobt, N. ft. May la-Capt Kinney and J erow or the aeae.i schooner David J. Adams kave arrived her* from 8k John. As the at earner Secret approached the wharf a bod* put off from the government ship Laaadowne. When it had reached hailing distance Capt Scott, of the Linadowne, shouted to Capt Kinney on the deck of the steamer a demand -that he surrender to him the papers of the David J. Adams, which Capt. Kinney had taken with him after the vessel had been seised by Capt. Scott's men. Capt Kinney abou'ted back that he would see Capt. Scott in Sheol before he would surrender to him his ship's pap r*. As soon as the steamer touched the wharf another officer of the Laaadowne came on board and made the aa'.ne demand. Consul General Phelan, repr uniting the United States government, was there, and he told Capt Kinney to keep bit papers, which ho did. There was no attempt to take forcible possession of them. Consul General Phelan took Capt. Kinney's official statement of the seizure, which he will send to Washington. It is as follows: "We arrived in Digby basin on Wednesday night at 6 o'clock. and laid at a plaoe called Granville ti 1 o'clock the next morning, when we got u i ler way and started to leave the basin. Tue wind leaving us when we got outside alx iu one mile, the flood tide brought us back again After we got into _ the basin again we sailed around to different parts till aboat 4 o'clock on Friday morning, whan we started to again leave the baDln Shortly after getting under way we saw a l ost coming toward us from a steamer lying opposite Digby, which latter appeared to be the Lansdowne's beat. It came alongside of us after we had proceeded a mile and a half. The first offioer of the Lansdowne was in the boa*, and at once asked our hailing port, our name, the owner's name, the name of the captain, and what we were there for. I answered his questiona and ha went away, apparently aat lifted. Then we again proceeded on our course, but failed to get out of the basin. The wind leaving us, we drifted on to the weat ahore an hour before low water. There we lay for two hours, whan we floated again, and the tide brought ua back into the basin, where we were again hailed by the first officer of the Lansdowne, who came aboard, and, going below, searched our cargo, as he said, in accordanoe with the orders of the captain. When he returned on deck he said he had found barring on board and inquired how old they were. I told him they were tan days old, whioh f conaidered they were by their, alee. He than returned to the Lansdowne, and returned shortly after with a man whop,. I suppose, was Capt Da ken, who also examined tbo cargo, and then the boat and officers returned to ths Lansdowne. Then the same officer and crew that first boarded us came back and •ail we would be delayed for some time, and ordered us to Digby, and to anchor as near the Laaudowne aa poeaible. We obeyed the order, and the schooner waa placed in charge of the aeoond offioer and five men armed with revolvers and cutlaases. We were ordered to lower our sails and await the orders of Capt Soott, who was to investigate our caaa About four hours later Capt Scott himself came .aboard and examined our cargo, after which llie Fail -d the vessel in the queen's name for violation of the flahary laws. I do not renetnber the exact language used by him. Ho resistance was made. He then read to us his regulations that we would be allowed •w go aahore here or go to St John. I cakne sahcavto see the consular agent here, but did not find him, after which I returned to the Lansdowne and informed Capt Soott that I could not find the consul, and preferred to go to St John. He said he would start the next morning, and that I and my crew might stay aboard of the schooner, which we did, the veeael remaining under the care of the armed craw from the Lansdowne. I again iln the evening oame aahore and saw Consular Agent Stewart, and asked for Instructions regarding the course to be pursued. He advised me to go to St John, which trt did the following day. After remaining in St John four days I received instructions to naturn to Digby and report to the consul general I deny having purchased or caught aiiy bait for the purpose of fishing in English waters, or having concealed the name of the schooner. Of course there is a poaeiUlity that a piece ot canvas may have been Over the rail, covering a portion of the vessel's name, Lut it was not placed there intentionally. " Commander Scott reiterated his conviction of the guilt of Capt Kinney, and said tbo latter simply lied when he denied pur■cUsing bait. In reply to the question as to whether he had received any definite lnetrbctioin regarding the making of further •eiaures, or whether it waa the intention of the Canadian authorities to await further developments in the present case  ceeding to the bringing of new ones, Capt. Scqltsoid: "The seizure of the Adams will niuko no difference whatever. If I had a chance to seize half a dozen more vessels I would do so without the least hesitation." Consul General Phelan characterizes this latest procedure as nothing short of trifling by the Canadians with the affairs of a great nation. "For," aaya he, "have they not held th:s vessel since Friday without offering our government any explanation whatever? 1 cent a communication to Capt Scott Oiking him to explain the la teat turn of affairs, but he gave no satisfactory response. I asked Collector Viet* on what grounds th» customs authorities hold the vessel, and he re(MML. 'Violations of the customs laws, empowering a penalty of $400, and aha was held for that sumf How can these conflicting contentions be reconciled! On one side the assertion is that the Adams is confiscated for violation of the fishery laws, and on the other la the atatemSnt that she was seized for Infringement of customs regulations!"All the aaMafaotVm Mr. Phelan could obtain from Capt Soott waa that the latter  farred the consul to the Ottawa authorities. Sheriff Van Blaroom haa received from Halifax the writ against the David J. Adams, bringing tLe oaee before the vice-admiralty court in that oity. The document is one of Ifea greatest importance. It aaya that the action ia for the forfeiture of tbe veesel and Iter cargo for violation of the treaty of 1818, and of various acta of the Britiah parliament and of aeta at die parliament of the Dominion of Canada of 1888, 1810, 1871 and 1873.

The work of destruction began just as the train pulled into the station at Odell and continued for half an hour. A large livery atable just west of the station was wrecked, with a shed full of horses, carriages and farmers' t -ams. The hardware stgre of S. S. Cole, a large brick struoture, was totally demolished, and many of the flying bricks were dashed up against tho train, smashing the windows and driving the passengers wild with excitement Several young children were buried beneath the ruins of the Cole building and one is believed to be killed.

A well-worn card in his Rachel bears this address:For necessary expenses preparatory for removal of books, etc., of atate treasureHa office to the new capitol, $500. A moment after Cole'a stable toppled over, the wind swooped down upon the brick block occupied by Q. E. Dinet, dealer in dry goods and groceries; Axtle & Jones, boo ts and shoes, and a jewelry house.
