Providence, r. l., Sept. 0.

There was a most terrific gale in this
city Yesterday afternoon. The river over
flowed into several streets, causing many
families to move hastily, and trees were
uprooted, and chimnies, steeples, roofs,
and walls of buildings blown down in all
directions. .... ....,
The shipping in the hafbor suffered Sc
verey. Two or three vessels are reported
sunk, while others have lost spars and
rigging, and are materially damaged. The
steamer City Of Newport was injured to
the extent of 81 600.
The lower story of the EreninJ Press
building was overAowed, the water being
upward'of a foot deep. About fifty la
dies, employed in bookbindery and box
shop in the upper stories, were taken from
the building in small boats, and conveyed
some distance before reaching dry spot
For nearly two hours the wind and rain
contiued, and when it finally subsidized the
water ran out as fast as it had previously
run in.
The Odd Fellows Hall on Westminster
street was Very severely damaged, the wal
of new building having blown down and
crushed in the roof of the former. The
roof of the Central Baptist Church, or
Broad street, was taken off; also, the roo
of the Oriental Mills, just outside Of the
city, and two boys, whose names coulc
not be ascertained, were killed at the lat
ter place by the walls falling in. The roo
of the Hope Iron Founder was likewise
taken off, but no injury to persons re
ported.
Considerable damage occurred to thu
new Thayer street School-house, and als'
to the Reform School, the fences arounc
the latter being blown down, trees uproot
ed and windows broken. A large thre'
story house on Cranston street was blow
down, and two or three persons injured
one of them reported fatally. The ircigh

The latest dispatches from the scene o.
the mining calamity at Ayonadale, Pa,
are dated midnight. All efforts to save
the buried missing were unsuccessful. 1t
IS now thought the plan adopted for the
rescue OF the men was based on false
theory and that the rescue by forcing fresh
air into the mines by steam fans really fed
the flames and caused the suifocation Of
their friends. 1t was supposed mp to yes
terday afternoon that the fire was extin-
guished and the flooding of the mines was
stopped, but the flames were still ragino
up to one o'clock this morning. AN hope
is now at an end, and all that can now done
