Storm Warning by VennOr.
To the Editor of THE EVENING STAR.
In 1881 the latter portion of August was charac
teriZed by severe storms along the southern At
lanic states coast and in the vicinity of Charles
ton The most severe OF them occurred on the
26th or 27th OF the month. Present Indications to
my way or reckoning, point to a recurrence OF
these storms towards the end of the present
month, and in about the same localitiesIf not
slightly further nOrthward along the coast 1t
VItl nRa fnr,c
age by such storms In those places where they oc-
CURED last season, as well as along the New Jer-
sey coast The entry OF September is likely to be
accompanied by severe disturbances in MANY
parts OF the north and south Atlantic states.
