TIDAL WAVE ON THE NEW JERSEY COAST.
ATLANTIC, N. j., Aug. 29.-There is not
| place on our beach front that is not
damaged to some extent by the high tide
and heavy surf to-day. The total loss will
not be less than $4,000. Long before
high water, which was at o'clock. the
board walk began to wash away and by
| high tide the beach along the center of
the city was mass of debris, both houses,
restaurants, photograph galleries and
| stores, with dwellings attached, which were
| built so far from the turf it was thought
no sea would reach them, were undermined
| and carried bodily into the ocean and beat
en- by the waves into fragments. Two
| hours after hig gh water, tonight, the tide
had fallen but little, and great anxiety is
felt about the next high water, as
| the wind from the northeast
is increasing, and should it con-
tinue until high water tomorrow
| the damage will be more tn an double that
| of to-day. The surf was by far the heaviest
ever seen here. The branch of the G. &
A. railroad company along the beach front
| from this place to South Atlantic City was
| badly washed, and passengers who took
| the late train to this place were compelled
| to abandon the train and walk five and
| one-half miles. All the railroad tracks be-
tween here and Absecom, except the Jer-
| sey are submerged.

Yonkers, and Mr.. Rose, Of Sing Sing a
crowd of curiosity seekers gathered to-day
| on the wharf, in front of the spot where
the Riverdale sank yesterday, and watched
the boats flying around wrecking and
picking up whatever foated. No bodies
were found since yesterday, and the belief
is strengthened that there are none in the
wreck, the full extent of the calamity hes
been oYerstated. The wreck will be
taken to Jersey flats, where a search can
be made for more.

FALMOUTH, Mass, Aug. ga life pre-
