TERRIFIC CYCLONE.
A Number of Persons Killed and Hun.
dreds of Families Made Homeless.
PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 3.

PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 3.
A terrific cyclone swept up the Delaware
river this afternoon and struck here near
Greenwich Point demolishing a portion of
the works of the Pennsylvania Salt Manu-
featuring Co., and inJuring several employees
1t then took course across the river wreck
ing the steamer Major Reynolds and
the ferry-boat Peerless. The storm blew
Pilot Emery Townsend and Capt Eugene
Reynold of the steamer Reynold into the
river, owning the former and painfully in
juring the captain. The Peerless was swept
clear almost to the waters edge. Several
buildings on the Jersey shore were demol-
ished. In its ravaQes in Camden scores of
dwelling houses were unroofed and some of
them blown down. The damage to business
property along the river front is even more
Hundreds Of families were rendered
homeless and several persons
were killed outright or fatally
injured. About l5Oldwelling houses we're
wrecked or so badly damaged as to be rem
dered unfit for habita'ion. Two hundred
families were driven from their homes to be
cared for by their neighbors. The cyclone
is described by those who witnessed its pro-
gress on the river, where it could be seen at
advantage, as an immense black cone shaped
cloud, with its apex resting upon the water,
the base weighing with rain clouds, which
heaved dense masses from the sky. 1t is
possible that some of the passengers on the
Reynold were swept overheard and lost, but
no bodies have been recovered as yet.
SHENENDoAH. Aug. 3.
The most terrific storm known here pre-
vailed all day, doing much damage. Sew
eral of the collieries were compelled TO sus-
pend work.
BALTIMORE, Aug. 3.
Advices from various points throughout
the State shows the storm to have been the
most destructive that has ever visited this sec
ton. Houses. mills and bridges were car
ried away. Trees were blown half mile
and loaded freight trains with all the brakes
down were blown mile along the tracks.
Short Hayb's three story hosiery mill at
Richmond was completely wrecked and scat
tered in all directions.

The yachts at once went IN an easterlv d.
rection, followed by six or eight steam tugs
and several yachts. The race down to
Brenton's Point was devoid of special inter-
est. save it was very short time ere the
Priscilla got to the windward Of the Puritan
and obtained the lead, holding it securely
wei! for nigh half an hour. Meanwhile the
Oracle Tightening her sails had been doing
we'll, running well up to the Isis and soon
closing out the fourth minute start which the
latter had. The yachts bearing down towards
B-enton's reef and thence along the New
port cliffs made pretty sight, the chief fea-
ture of which was the struggle between the
Priscilla and Puritan for first place In
tacking, shortly after wrestling the lead from
the Puritan, the Priscilla lost the advantage
and the little white yankee, as yschtsmen
style the Puritan, forged ahead.
The friends of the Priscilla became
alarmed to see their favorite making unusually
long tacks to round Eastons Point. fearing
she would lose by so doing. In the mean
time the two leading schooners, Fortuna and
Montank, were keeping company, standing
off Eastons Poiut, but away to the rear OF
the foremost sloops, which were having
things much their own way. At IL 20 some
important changes took place, for then the
Puritan got well on to the port tack and for a
time heading directly towards Sow and Pigs
in her efforts to weather Easton's Point.
Shortly afterwards the Fortuna and Montank
tackled. The Priscilla, however, still headed
toward Easton's Point. 1t was the making
of this long tack, the delaying of putting
about so long after the Puritan had done so
that gave the latter the splendid advantage
and which the Boston men maintained to the
end. Some four or five minutes after max
ing the tack that brought her out from
Easton's Point the Puritan crossed the Pri.
scilla's bow, thus increasing her advantage
over the New York craft.
A few minutes before noon the Puritan made
another tack from Cormorant light. At this
point her advantage over the Priscilla was
absolute and it was conceded there was no
necessity for any special trial between the
Priscilla and Puritan to see which should
wrestle with Sir Richard Sutton's Genesta
over the possession of the Queens cup for
the superiority of the Puritan was manifest
and acknowledged by several of the Priscilla's
friends. From Cormorant light down to
Sow and Pigs the race was well contested,
the going being very fast. The two sloops
led the schooners so much that only the time
of the Puritan and Priscilla could be taken,
the former rounding at one hour and fifty
four minutes, and the latter at two hours and
seven minutes and twenty-five seconds. This
showed lead of nearly IA minutes.
The next stretch of fifteen miles before

NEWPORT, X. L., Aug. 5.

NEWPORT, Il. L., Aug. 5.
The Yacht race to-day for the Goelet cups,
excited more interest than any sporting event
that ever took place in this vicinity. The
honors both tor sloopS and schooners were
secured by Boston boats, and in a manner
that left no doubt that the laurels were fairly
won upon the merits of the boats, not the
least accident happened to either of the win
ners. Large crowds came from Boston and
New York to witness the contest. Notwith-
standing the heavy weather the hsrbor at an
early hour was fairly alive with boats OF
every description lsden with people anxious
TO witness the struggle
There was some betting done. The last
done and the bulk OF the betting was slightly
in fovor of the Priscills's winning, but when
the Boston people began TO put in an appear
ance and the wind was observed to be quite
strong, this was changed and the Puritan be-
came the favorite. The day opened with
fresh southeast breeze which soon afterward
settled into steady blow from east south
east At s 80, the tug Luckenback with the
regatta committee and newspaper men on
board, started out 10 Benton's reef light ship.
The course was from a line between the COM
mittee's boa, and Benton's reef iightship and
around Sow and Pigs lightship, thence to
Hen and Chickens lightship, and back to
Dichloh iSSif tAiahSuat SoutsS
of about IS miles.
The breeze freshening up gave the yachts
an excellent opportunity to run out rapidly
and the result was many of them had to beat
about waiting for the preparatory signal.
Gen. Butler, on his yacht America, and
Mr.. Weld, on his fine craft Wanderer, were
two prominent Boston yachtsmen who were
here purposely to witness the race. The en-
tries were 20 10 number namely:
Schooners. = Dauntless, Fortuna, Estelle,
Mohican, Clytie. Clio. Montauk and Gray
ling, while in the sloop class were: Puritan,
Priscilla, Ileen, Mischief, Bedouin, Athlon
Whileaway, Gaviota, Oracle, Isis, Regina
and Vixen.
The stiff breeze of to-day disposed of just
one-half of these before the start, for they
did not put in an appearance 10 only cross
ing the line, schooners and sloops. The
preparatory signal was given at 1918 and
the yachts began getting into line as near
the judges boat as circumstances would per-
nit. The start was excellent, no less than 3
yachts cross ing within seven and three-quar-
ters minutes. The Puritan was well handled
in starting. and managed to cross first lead
ing the Fortuna by ten seconds and the
Priscilla by 50 seconds.
The following is the list of Yachts that
started with the time allowance for each:
