THE MUSIC OPENS AT HALIFAX.
HALIFAX, n. s., March 10, 9:15 p. m.-
The water is breaking over some of the
wharves and is on level with others. In
half an hour it will probably reach lower
Water street. The wind is blowing with
terrible violence and rain is still falling.
Great excitement prevails and fears for
property on the water line increase. Re-
ports from the eastern province state that
the storm is commencing in that region.
The storm drum is on the citadel staff.
SHORT HORSE.
HALIFAX, March 1O-During the morn
ing the sky was overcast, with light south
west wind and mild temperature. Shortly
after noon, the breeze shifted to the south
east quarter, and gradually grew in force.
A few minutes after 1, the storm signal
was up at the citadel station, and people
began to prepare for the storm. Steamers
and sailing vessels in the docks were Sc
cured to the wharves, with extra hawsers,
and merchandise in places of insecurity
was removed to higher and
safer quarters. No remarkable change
occurred the following two hours
but about o'clock the wind quickened
a light rain and hail commenced to fall,
and the clouds overhead grew ominously
dark. Half an hour later the wind in
creased doubly in strength. and the rain,
andhail were falling quite heavily. The
following two hours this state of affairs
continued, the breeze increasing to gale
and howling overhead. Fear began to be-
come greater among the wharf owners
and proprietors OF property on
the water line, and great excitement
prevailed. At o'clock the ferry steam
ers to Dartmouth closed their trips, the
last one occupying four times the usual
time, ana being made with difficulty. From
that hour until o'clock the gale blew with
terrible fury, causing vessels IN the docks
TO strain their fastenings and almost tear
from them and drive into the harbor. The
her moorings is the schooner -Four Broth
ers lying at Market wharf, smashing her
bow-sprit and tearing some planking
from sths wharf. The vessel was again
secured. The tide rose during the blow
the highest known here since the Saxby
gale. At s o'clock it was nearly on level
with the wharves, and at 8, when the high
est, the sea washed over. Many barrels of
-four. meal and other merchandise IN ex-
posed places were swept about, but no
serious damage resulted. The steamers in
port held we'll to their fastenings without
injury. Considerable fear is felt for the
safety of the steamer Newfoundland, which
S allied from ST. Johns, n. F., for this port
Tuesday, and was due to-day.
Between and o'clock, when the storm
was at the highest, the barometer, which in
the morning registered 3O.40, and at 2
in the afternoon 3O.1O, stood at 1888, and
was yet falling rapidly. The wind was
then blowing at the rate of thirty
miles an hour, and apparently gaining in
velocity. About 8, however, it calmed
suddenly down, and the feelings of prop
erty owners and people began to be more
confident, a breeze springing up from a
more easterly direction, though not with
as great strength as before. The tide IS
now falling, and no more heavy weathsr
is expected tonight, but in the morning 1t
is said by old fishermen and observers OF
the weather, with the incoming tide the
wind Will rise again and blow with sq ual,
IF not greater violence.
