TRe storm ia the East.
NEW YORK, August l9.-The
storm which yesterday morning
was central near Cape Hatteras,
has moved in northeasterly path,
developing greatly in energy, and
is now central near Eastport,
Maine. Heavy ram has fallen in
New England and the Middle At
iantic States. Newburyport expe-
rIenced the storm this morning,
which was the severest in ten
years. The wind blew hurri-
cane, wreuking four yachts, badly
wrenchiug steamers and schooners
in the harbor, and scattering ABOUT
twenty small boats. Truit-trees
were stripped, and tents on the
beach were leveled or blown into
the sea.
At Newport between twenty and
thirty sail boats are sunk or dam
aged. The Wanderer and Murrill
of the New York yacht squadron
parted their chains and went ashore.
Three yachts sank at the wharf,
while others dragged their anchors,
fouled and were damaged. Tie
crew of schooner. ashore at Cape
May, deserted the vessel. In the
evening their boats were capsized
and the men washed ashore in an
exhausted condition. The captain
remained on board, and life-sav
ing crew got q line out and remain.
ed on duty all night.
The velocity of the wind ut Cape
May was sixty-four miles. Total
rainfall, $4,000 inches.
The crew of q schooner, ashore at
Atlantic City, were taken from the
rigging at 3 O'Clock this morning
by life-saving crew. The vessel
will be total loss.
Norfolk had the severest rain
storm and tornado ever expert
enced. Many buildings Were un-
rooted and flooded, trees uprooted
and shipping damaged. Many ves-
sells dragging anchors went ashore.
Great anxiety prevailed during the
prevalence of the storm, and the
Mayor ordered out the entire police
force and fire department. The loss
is estimated at from 100000 to
$500, 200. The damage to growing
crops in the counties adjacent to
Petersburg is very great. In Surrey
county, the damage to corn Is esti-
mated at fifty per cent.
BOSTON, August 19.-The Steam.
ship Company's warehouses have
been severely damaged, the
wharves all along the river front
have been carried away and many
of the warehouses flooded. The
water was higher than ever was
known. The vicinity of Water
street was only accessible by boats,
the sight being one unexampled
even to the "Oldest inhabitant." !"
The handsome spire of Freeman
street Baptist Church was blown
down. The stating of Christ
Episcopal Church and cornice
and steeple ornaments of St.
Mayr's Catholic Church were torn
off, whilst the uenuliful grounds of
st Paul's are badly wrecked.
O.-au Grove Camp Grnuni, be-
low Long Branch, suffered severe
ly. AT Gloucester, Massachusetts,
several vessels dragged ashore last
night. AT other ports on the New
England coast vessels were beach,
q ed, but thus far no loss of life is re-
ported.
Excitement In UsHb.
NEW YORK, Aug. 49, A 1Ti-
bune Salt Lake correspondent says:
Old residents of Salt Lake say that
at no time since the coming OF
.Johnson's army to Utah, more than
twenty years ago, have the leaders
of the Mormons felt that they had
so much cause for apprehension a.
now, The city is in a state oil
unusual excitement, and Gentiies
and Mormons who, in ordinary
times, look upon one another with
suspicious and distrust, are now in
dulging In threats against each
other, and the community seems to
be drifting into q state OF feeling
which, to say the least, Is not as
> suring, and causes much apprehen'
sionamong the conservative met
of both clesses. The Tribune think
there is possibility of riot o.
street fight, but no more serious
trouble Is anticipated.
