the damage sustained in this yard until
the extent to which the machinery is
damaged is asceriained. Along the wharfs
the damage was also considerable, the pill
ing being broken and one of the slip
badges almost demolished. One of the
wheel-houses of the steamer George Ledry
WAS blown off. 1t is probable that $4,000

The lumber and coal yards along the
creek also suffered considerably some
lumber floating off, and the yards being
Uttered with mud and drift.
The carriage factories over Market

some cases on the first floor. At. S. d.

Cyclone on the Atlantic Coast.
STORM ON THE CHESAPEAKE.
DAMAGE TO SHIPPING

From the Baltimore Sun.
A cyclone, the severest known in this
neighborhood for some time, swept in
land from the Atlantic coast early yes
terday morning, leaving destruction in
Its trail on all sides. The gale came from
the tropics. AT II o'clock on the morn
ing of the Goth the signal service ordered
up signals at Key West for storm south
of Florida. Oa the morning of the Dist
the storm was to the southeast of Key
West, and on the morning of the 22d to
the east of Southern Georgia. At mid
night of the 22d it was, with greatly in
creased velocity, central near Cape Hat
teras, on the North Carolina coast. The
maximum velocity of the wind reported
was sixty miles an hour. From midnight
to nine or ten o'clock yesterday the storm
rapidly increasing in energy, was central
near Baltimore. The pressure at the
centre yesterday morning was below 299
inches. The storm was attended with an
unusually heavy rainfall. In Washing
ton the fall was 354 inches; at Baltimore
PA Norfolk, 2S6; Lynchburg, POI, and
at Smithville, n. O., 4.32. From Will
sent to be bulletined at New York and
Boston to look out for heavy storm. 1t
is hoped that the warnings sent to New
York and Boston and distribute along
the coast have been needed. In any
event It's is feared that great damage has
been done to the shipping and property
in the storms track. 1t course, it will be
seen. was northerly. The vortex passed
over Baltimore at about 2 O'clock in the
morning. At o'clock the wind blew a
mile minute, as registered at the signal
service office, but on the bay it was twice
that velocity. At one time the barome-
ter was down to $780, which Is the low
est ever recorded since the establishment
of the signal office here. The storm flag
was kept up all day indicating that
trouble was not yet over; but soon after
| nine o'clock the sun came out and every
thing lookd serene. At 5 o'clock in the
afternoon there was "A rainbow of prom
Use. During the SIX hours or SO that the
storm lasted 1t was prolific of damages,
but the disaster to city property was not
so great as on some other previous occa,
sions of the kind.
The daily gazette., 1878-10-24

The New York Sun rejoices thus wise:
-"Philadelphia had shaking up yester-
day, compared with which own expert
ences seem trivial. When the wind was
blowing at the ate OF fifty miles an hour
here, it was blowing at the rate of seven
ty miles an hour there, and sad havoc it
made. Steeples snapped like pipestems;
churchs, sohoolhouses, warehouses, and
private buildings were unroofed; large
buildings were reduced in a moment to
heaps of rubbish vessels were blown
from their moorings. The loss in mon
ey is large, but there is worse loss than
that. Many persons were Injured, and
seven were killed"
