Gale on Lake Erie.
BUFFALO, September 25sh.-A fearful gale
set in last evening, which is still raging furi-
Oasly from the southwest. A number OF ves-
sells on the lakes have suffer severely. Toe
Sea is rolling heavily. and has swept over the
docks and su bmerged the whole of ths docks
in the lower part of the city several feet. The
yards of the Central, Hudson and Erie rail
roads are under water, and the track of the
Buffalo Creek railway is submerged. The
wind is driving the water of Lake Erie up in
greater volume, and the prospect of very
heavy loss seems imminent. In the city the
destruction Of trees is very great. The win
dows of several churches were also wrecked.
The public bathing houses at York and
several private bathing houses were washed
away by the high tide. Lumber piles were
blown across the street, damaging houses and
fences About 100 feet of the side track Of
the Niagara Falls branch Of the Central
rosd, at the foot of Georgia street, was
washed away, and four Blue Line cars tum-
bled into the lake and their contents carried
of by the waves. Four OF the six telegraph
wires on the Central road we're disabled, and
three of the Lske Shore, and all of the
Grand Trunks rendered useless. The water
in the canal slips and harbor ross to level
with the banks. There was q tremendous
D. u. &,-f- Il
tugs to tow one vessel to place OF safety.
Vessels coming in did not try to make the
inner harbor, aud were lucky to ini shelter
under the new breskwater, over which the
waves dashed to terrific hight. The pro-
psllers Chicago and Irou Chief, and the
schooners David Dows and Jame5 Couch,
were torn from their fastenings at Niagara,
and tugs went to their rescue. The high
water subsided as quickly as it rose, falling
two feet in less than half an hour. The mas
ters of vessels coming in this morning report
the wind terrific on the lakes.

THE NORTHERN PACIFIC.
ST. PAUL, September 25th.-W. P. Clougb,
attorney for the Northern Pacific, who is sup
posed to speak with authority from his close
relations with Willard, says: This downward
movement in the Northern Pacific is entirely
without legitimate cause or reason. 1t Is but
simply ths work of msnipulators in Wall
street. directed at Willard and his associates,
VINO hold Northern Pacific stock, with the
1is~ of breaking up the combination, and
has no other cAus, Whatever. There will be
an election of Directors in few days, and
the obi sct of all the pounding is to frighten
Wizards friends into parting with their inter
est, and in doing so to see that nobody else
may step in. That is all there Is in it. The
road is in good condition, and earning money,
with the prospect Of rapidly increasing its
business. AS to who is doing the poundl ng,
L cannot say can say, GnOHbuy positl'ol1I
that the published report that some Of Viii
Iard's own shares have been bought up on the
market in New York is sheer fabrication.
All these statements regarding the sale of
stocks by Willard or other prominent stock
holders are false, and entirely without
foundation. IL fact, nearly all the transac-
tions which it is alleged are taking place are
purely fictitious, gotten up to sffscs the value
Of the stock. A great part OF the howl is in
relation to the enormous expense which it il
alleged will be required for the completion
of the road and in this matter Mr.. Oakes
is reported as having had something to say.
The fact is the road is practically completed:
the expenditure of $500, 900 or $500, 600 will
do sll that remains to be done.
St. Louis Drinking water.
ST. LOUIS, September 2Jth.-Missourian
never stop boasting of the unequsled purity
and healthfulness of the combined mud and
water supplied them by the stream which
gives the State its name Yesterday, how
ever, the Health Commissioner was startled
by discovery which rather disproves the
sanitary excellence OF the waters Of the Mis-
souri, bottom lands. NJ. A. Pell resides on
Howard street, near the river. He called at
the Health Commits sioner's office with large
bottle hlled with hydrant water which he
wanted to have examined under microscope.
An oval mass of what locked like brown moss
DAY at the bottom of the bottle A closer ex-
animation revealed the fact that the ball was
composed Of 8 consolidated mass of brown
worme. Viewed through microscope they
looked like horrible bundle of snakes that
had been knotted and were making violent
efforts to break loose The worms are all
about the size Of an eyelash, and restless.
sctive specimens. MIR. Pell stated that the
bunch came out Of his hydrant Yesterday
morning with large number of single
healthy fellows. He said they came out
with the water every morning, SO much so
that the first few basins of water are filed
with them and the water had to be thrown
away. The Health Commissioner insisted
that the snakes must be generated by the hy-
dsant.
