A TIDAL WAVE.

A Slight Earthquake Shock on the Atlantic
Coast, Followed by n Destructive Tidal
wave-vesse1s Riding at gAnchor the
Principal sunerers--An Ominous Find.
NEW HAVEN, CONN, December %.
Last night at eleven O'Clock, as Captain
S. p. Thrasher, Superintendent of the
Seaman's Bethel, was preparing to go
home, he felt distinct jar of the earth.
Looking out he saw lamp posts shaking.
The shock was more severe than that
experienced here last summer, although
it was comparatively unnoticed, oc-
curing as it did at a late hour. The jar
was also felt at the Central Police Sta
ton. 1t is now believed that there was
CONFUSION of the earth In Long Island
Sound directly off this harbor, or near
by, for at a quarter past eleven O'Clock
tidal wave, crowned with foam, and fully
eight feet high, came rolling into the bay
from the south, traversing the entire
length of the harbor, which is four miles
long. 1t had speed of about twelve
miles an hour, and moved with an omin-
Gus rushing sound, like the blast of
hurricane, carrying destruction in its.
path.
1t was dark and cold and rainy at the
growing denser ever since, was forming.
1t is impossible to ascertain the full ex-
tent OF the damage done. There are 200
vessels in the harbor bound eastward.
The first one to take the force of the
mysterious wave was the schooner Nellie
Grant, bound from Jersey City to Ports
mouth, n. H., with coal. The wave
struck her with such force az to tear the
windlass out, and part the chains on both
her anchors, sweeping her away to the
north. The Captain hastily rugged sail
enough to keep steerage-way, aud picked
his way with difficulty through the fleet to
the inner harbor, wheEe she is now re-
pairing. &.
Near astern of the Grant lay the
schooner Onrest, a Providence vessel,
bound home from Hoboken with coal.
One of the vessels crew heard loud
roaring sound, and throwing on his
clothes rushed to the deck. Just as he
did SO, a wall of water struck the bow of
the schooner, breaking over her and fill
ing her full of water. From the great
weight of her load, the vessel did not re-
spond and so literally buried herself.
The Captain was greatly alarmed, and
realized that unless the vessel parted
from her anchors she must sink The an
chors held, and the wave tore away the
matches and burst into the cabin. The
vessel began to sink instantly and the
Captain with his wife and four men hasti-
ly got into the yawl boat. Just as they
got clear of the vessel she went down in
about four fatSoms of water. The crew
lost everything.
Several coal barges and other vessels
were either sunk or badly shaken and
damaged.
An ominous find has been made at
Morris Cove, near. the eastern most point
of the harbor. 1t was a wrecked yawl
boat, a quantity of sailors clothing,
splintered spars and loose rigging, aud
thirty-two matches swept from vessels
decks by the waves. 1t is now feared
that other disasters have occurred.

NEW YORK, December %. =
The topic of conversation on Staten
Island the past three days has been the
marriage of Mrs. Emma Britton, the wild
ow of the late Abram Britton, to her
coachman, who is Familiarity known as
Tommy Mclaughlin. The Brittons are
very old family on Staten Island holding
their property through crown grant

of New York. Mrs. Britton was a men,
Der of the Vcirdonberg family, also one
of the old families of the island. They
were neighbors of Commodore Vanderbilt

RELATIVE OF THE vANDERBILTs
by marriage. Mrs. Britton had been
widow for several years. She had good
estate, and kept stylish coaches and
horses. Some months ago she engaged
Thomas Mclaughlin to care for the
horses. He worked few days and then
took sick and went to his home, a cottage
Ou InS nc HtlSuUOIS
noticed that Mrs. Britton was daily visit
or, and finally that she seemed to have
left her elegant mansion to reside at
the cottage. When reporter called
to ask ii marriage had really taken
place he found young Mclaughlin sitting
over the kitchen stove dressed in blue
flannel shirt and hand-worked slippers.
He is boyish looking and is thin and his
cheek had a hectic flush. He is about
twenty years old. He was unable to
speak above a whisper, and appeared to
be suffering from consumption. When
he was asked to call his bride the former

a blue checked wrapper and Bingham

She said:

ter-Stroke That Led to Fortune-Ten
Twelve Millions Left Behind.
Boston, MASS, December %.
Michael IL. Simpson, of this city,
the possessor of fortune of $10,000,0O0
or S12,000,0O0, died to-day of heart
disease. He was horn of poor parents in
Newburyport, seventy-tive years ago, and
came to Boston when boy. The millions
have since been piled up for Mr.. Simpson
by the Jacksonville mills and the Roxbury
Carpet Company, both great establish
ments being contracted by him. The bulk
of his fortune was
MADE BY A MASTER STROKE
during the war. In the early months of
the contest, when business of all kinds
was greatly depressed, his partners sug-
gested that they, like others, should cur
tail production. Looking out of the win
dows of his great carpet mills, Mr.. Simp-
son asked:
GLOW much land is there in that vacant
tract?"
SO many thousand feet was the reply.
every WE'LL" replied Mr.. Simpson, "to-
morrow we will begin to build ware
house to cover it. Then we will make
carpets to the full capacity of our ma
chinery. When that storehouse is full we
will build another and ill it," This pol
lev was followed and when the inflated de-
mand and pIices of year or two later
arrived, the concern put an immense
quantity of goods on the market at the
highest figures. Mr.. Simpson was twice
married. The second time about four
years ago to woman nearly fifty years
his Junior, who survives him. The we'd
ding is remembered on account of the im-
preston created by Mr.. Simpsons gift to
his bride OF 81 ,000,0 900 in bonds.
