A Heavy Storm Great Havoc Wrought
 by tho Elements.
 LONG BRANCH SeIt. 11.-A storm of great fury broke along the southern New Jersey coast last night It has continued all day and at D. m although t rainfall has di- unfinished somewhat, the gale increased in vio- lence. Most of the remaining summer visit tors made 8 hasty retreat this morning and Long Branch is deserted to night except by the cottagers. The only hotels are the West End, Elberon and Brighton, and these will probably close as soon as their guests have an opportunity to leave the place after the storm ceases. All along the bluff the exceed ingly high tide has done considerable damage, The beach IS also cut up badly in many places. The Shrewsbury boats have been compelled to abandon their trips on account of the storm, and all boat travel to the iron pier has been discontinued for the season. A schooner is reported ashore south of Point Pleasant, but no authentic account has yet been received of any marine disasters. The wires are in poor working order all along the shore. The supposed wrecking reported from Point Pleasant is believed to be that of the schooner Echo sunk near Long Beach, Ocean county, Bayhead, N. J. The severest September storm known in years has been sweeping this portion of the coast for the past eighteen hours, infieting much damage upon property and badly injuring the beaches. two masted schooner, name un- known, was stranded off Point of Rocks about daylight and will probably go to pieces Passengers on north bound trains from Long Beach report the saving of 8 boats crew of five by a volunteer crew of life saving station men. The crew had de- serted the schooner Echo, bound for Port Elizabeth with cargo of coal she having sprung aleak, and this is supposed to be the vessel discovered off the Point of Rocks None of the life saving stations in this vicin- ity are equipped with crews, because of the neglect of Congress to make sufficient ap. propriation

EGYPT.

WoIseley Delayed i'm His Advance-A
 Statement of Arabi's Strength.
 IsMAIL1A, Sept. 1.-The deadlock at the front continues. Despite his repeated an- nouncements of an immediate advance, Gen. eral Wolseley has not really gained foot of ground since he occupied Kassassin Lock on August 26th, all his efforts to advance beyond that point having been frustrated by the boldness and activity of the rebel leader. The fact that the British position there has been strongly entrenched under the super vision of engineers, making of the advanced post of an invading army what is paradoxic- ally termed "a camp of dsfence," and the further circumstance that it was found neces- sary on Sunday to begin the construction of additional rife pits nominally to prevent the Egyptians from approaching near enough to
 shell the British camp, but in reality to
 strengthen the English lines and afford better
 protection to the Hanks in order to protect
 against a repetition of the surprise of the
 9th inst. leads to the belief now prevalent here that the confident talk of an advance on Tuesday is quite premature. The doubling of the cavalry outposts and the posting of strong bodies of infantry in close proximity to the vidette lines indicate that some appre- hension is felt lest the Egyptians should re-
 new the attacks in flank, in which the British so narrowly escaped disaster on Saturday, when General Wolseley was compelled to
 bring his entire available force into action. deserter from Arabi, who reached Kastara yesterday, reports that Arabi has nearly 12 = GOO men at Sahilieh, of whom about 8, GOO are regulars, and states that the battalion to which he was attached had been stationed at l Tel ell Kebir, but was transferred to Sahili. h 1 on Friday and took part in the attack on the British right flank on Saturday. He says i Arabi has forty thousand men at Tel-el Kebir,
 mostly we'll armed. This man is a Coptic | Christian and more intelligent than any of | the deserters previously questioned. He | states that many of his co reigionists are vol l untarily in Arabis ranks. as they are strongly l imbued with the Egyptian nationalist feeling. l KAssAssIN, Sept. 1.-The main column of 1 the British troops is bivouacking six miles be- 1 yond Kassassin, while the Indian contingent
 is advanced one mile further OR the south i bank of the Freshwater canal keep body by means of pontoons.

 have sent the enemy twelve tons of tobacco. i LONDON, Sept. 12.-Lord Granville has in

Lady Thorne's Mya.erious NiIe-DId She
 Equal Maud SIS Best Record.
 From the Spirit of the Timesl
 We presume our readers have all heard of that very private trial, in the year 1870, when Mace drove Lady Thorne a ghostly mile in the gray of the morning, and only two others, John L. Doty and William H. Saunders, tim. ed the mare. In regard to thls trial, her driver said: "I never saw Lady Thorne trot full mile at her best but once, and there are two other men living besides myself who can tell how fast that was, but shall never tell, and it is probable that they will not. It was so fast that it would not be credited by the public, and so agreed that we would never mention the time. But I will say this much; it faster gait for the whole mile than I ever saw kept up by any other horse for single quarter" For a round dozen of years did Dan Mace maintain his determination to "nsver tell, but ill an unguarded moment, a short time age, out popped the secret. On the occasion to which we refer Dan had be- come much interested in conversation with a gentleman about that year, 1870, when Lady Thorne was to meet Goldsmith Maid at Buff falo. She had beaten the Maid whenever they had contended on eastern tracks, but the party of the little bay mare were quite confident of a victory at Buffalo. Dan, after ths .rial referred to, felt abundant confidence himself. and he related, on this recent oo- casion, how he met MT. Smith, the owner of the Maid, and told him he would beat her.
 ''But," said Mir Smith, "we can trot three heats better than 2:2O."
 ''So can I,' said Dan.
 "We can trot three heats better than 2:19 |"
 "So can l." said Dan
 ''We can trot three heats in BIG"

Tha Mystery of a Fire.


 NEW YORK, Sept. 11.-William Tracy and his wife Mary were arrested at Flushing l.. I on the charge of arson in the first degree. The charge is made by William Ewbank, and though the evidence of their guilt is circum- stantial it is considered overwhelming. Tracy and his wife have kept shoe store at the corner of Main and Amity streets, the premises being leased of Ewbank. The stock and fixtures of the store were insured for $2 ,6OO in the following companies: Niagara, $1, ,OOO; Westchester, $500; Queens, $550; |; and in the Commerce for $55O. At an early hour on Friday morning tho building was discovered to be on fire. Mrs. Tracy gave the alarm at three 8. m. After the flames bad been extinguished partly burned kindling wood and paper saturated with kerosene were found in four different places in the store and in the room back of 1t also occupied by the Tracys. The curtains to the windows of the store and rooms were closely nailed at the sides in order that persons passing along the street could not see into tho store. Mrs Tracy says that she and her husband were in the upper part of the house at the time of the fire and that she was awakened by the smell of the smoke Tracy himself did not give any alarm, and while the firemen were extin- gushing the flames and saving stock he stood looking on and inactive. hearing will be had to night, when District Attorney Downing will be present.

Tho British Teamss Practice.

NEW YORK, Sept. 11.-The British team, with the exception of Private Boulter, who is ill., were at the range at Creedmoor this morn : ing and shot few times over the 500 yards distance for elevations in case the weather on the days of the match should prove stormy. No scores were taken. This is their last day of practice before the match. Captain At. kinson, of the American team, coached the Pennsylvania regiment team at GOO yards. Some surprise is expressed because Captain T. w. Grif1iths was not made Q member of the American team. Captain Griffiths says he made good scores right along until asked by Colonel Bodine to change his Sharpe rifle for Remington Hepburn He told Bodine that his scores would be low with the new gun and received the reply that ''they knew
 what he could do." Captain Griffths' scores fell as he expected. He and Colonel Bodine are friendly, as he was the first to propose the Colonel's name for captain of the team. After the selection of the team he asked Bo dine why he had not been chosen and was told that he ought to be glad, as they were going to be beaten in the match.

 BANGOR, Sept. 1.-The Fusionists of Ban- gor concede that the election is a Waterloo for their party in the whole State. The prin- cipal towns in Penobscot have been heard from and the returns show that the Repub- licans have recaptursd the county with every office. In the city of Bangor the Republi- cans have majority of 400, being gain of 26O over two years ago. Boutelle ran ahead of his ticket in Bangor and kept even with it in other parts of the county contrary to all expectations. He is undoubtedly elected with three other Republican Congressman. The cause of the Fusion defeat lies in the profuse use of money on the part of the Re- publicans and the indifference of the Demo- crats. It is great victory for Blaine and points to him as the next Presidential candi- date.
