The storm which began gently on Tuesday
night terminated yesterday afternoon. The
wind changed to the Northwest about 4 O clock
and at sunset the air was cool and autumn
like. The quantity OF rain which fell during
the storm IN this city was 44O inches. Of
course so large a body of water brought some
disaster with it, especially to the railroads.
The Presumpscot was said to be quite full yes
terday, but the nature of the stream does not
warrant any apprehension of danger. The
Saco, on the contrary, being mountain
stream, is more easily affected, and without
doubt we shall hear of some damage along its
banks. The scenes which the river will pre-
sent near its head to-day must be picturesque
and grand.
All the railroads leading out of Portland
were more or less affected by the storm. The
train from Boston, due at noon, was delayed
three and half hours by wash out in Scar
boro, but it was repaired in few hours and
the evening train was not much behind time.
On the Portland & Ogdensburg road there
were some light washes, OBTAINING the in train
about an hour and half. On the Grand
Trunk the road.bed was washed at North Var
mouth and above Danviile Junction so badly
that trains were unable to pass. The lilo p
NJ train yesterday ran out and exchanged pas
sengers and mails with the train from Island
Pond and returned to the city at O'clock. |
This was the only train over the road for the |
day after the arrival of the early morning |
train from South Paris. The damage wi be |
repaired this morning in season for the regular /
business. The Portland s. Kennebec and |
Maine Central Railroads present the same
spectacle. SO far as we can learn the damage /
was greatest east of Watervile, and the
through trains from Bangor were estopped.
Temporary repairs were at once made to enable
he trains to pass the breaks this morning.
rhe Portland & Rochester road suffered some
rom small breaks, but the trains from Roches-
err were not SO much delayed on some of
he other roads. In New Gloucester and Var
louth the meadows are overlooked and look
Ike large ponds, and in some places the rail-
Dad tracks are under water; but the incon-
enience is only temporary and the actual
amage comparatve]y light.

New YORK, Oct 12-The Times and Tri-
bune state that tremendous efforts are being
made by the Ring TO have Connolly removed
as Comptroller in order that Deputy Green
can thus be got out of the way, as the recent
developments connected with the forgeries of
keysey's name seriously implicate the most
prominent officials in the city.
The Times says that notwithstanding all the
lmpedments put in the way of investigation
by the New York Printing Company the com
mttee have unearthed ioDbery and plumber
beyond expectation.
The Broadway Bank, ring concern, has at
last opened its books to the committee.
Three applications we're made this morning
in the Supreme Court Tor writs peremptory
mandamus against Comptroller Connally aud
Deputy Comptroller Green, one being on be-
hall Of the Department of Public Parks.
Collisions and Probable Loss OF Life.
The fog and rain on Hudson River last night
was very Dense The steamer Connecticut
collided with schooner but no great damage
was done.
The steamer st. John ns rrowly escaped ser.
GUS collision.
The steamber Manesink which sunk by col
lision with the sunken crib near Pie. mont,
had about 100 passengers but it is probable
that most of them were saved, as they were
near the pier. Several were seen to Jump
overheard. The details are not received.
The Uspaid Workmen.
The 1000 laborers, after arriving at City Hall
found that they could not gain an entrance. A
dvpntation waited on Deputy Comptroller
Green, who told them 20 pay roll had b. en- re-
ceived for them from the department of Pub
lie Works (ot which Tweed is the head) when
the proposed to go there, but at that moment
pay rolls were handed in showing that the
men had not been paid since Aug 31st.
The deputation stated that many families
were suffering. Green told them he would do
all in his power to pay them soon. After the
interview one of the laborers addressed them
counselling order, and the assembly dispers-
ed quietly.

1t appears that the action tor a maudamus
