THE WEATHER DURING AUGUST.
Gales That Prevailed in the North
 Atlantic Raafn.

Gales That Prevailed in the North Atlantic Basin.
 BOSTON, Sept. 6.-The resume of August
 published in the Photographic map is inter
 esting because it is directly the opposite to the pleasant weather that wes generally ex- perienced. The report states: The weather was unusually stormy. During the first week gale from moderate to heavy was prevalent over the entire north Atlantic, north latitude 40, few vessels near the coast of the United States experiencing it as far south as latitude 35. From August Il to 16 moderate to strong gales were encountered in the trans Atlantic route between 15 and 50 west lon gitude. August 17 8 continental storm passed off the cosst nee- Boston, the effects being felt as very heavy gale in the trans Atlantic route as far east as longitude 40. This gale wes very destructive to buildings and shipping in St. Pierre and Newfound- land. The fishing fleet on the banks suffered severely. From August IT to 20 the effects of a tropical cyclone were felt at Havana e1d Key Vest and along the cost of Texas, the destruction of lie dnu prOpoIVy OeluS uedVy III 0dlHosIou and adjacent points. During August this ice belt retreated fer north, deseIting the backs, but filing the Straits of Belle Isle with dangerous bergs. The Grand bar-s were then for the fist time this year nearl" free of Dergs. For September marines are especially warned to be on the lookout for tropical hurricanes i1 the Gulf stream, as such may be expected between the 10th and 22d. Otherwise generally pleasant weathet will prevail Along the coest of the United States north of the latitude Of Bermuda gales may be expected once in ten days. Several gales may be looked for in the route of the Atlantic steamers. The fogs on the banks will begin again to appear in volun }. Whales are reported in unusual numbers :. very low latitudes. They seem to have deserted their ususl grounds to sport in the gulf. This is possible clew to the mysterious absence of wheles f1cm their accustomed feeding grounds. What cause has driven them south is unknown.
 The meekerel catch is almost total fail ure. The total amount landed at all ports of barrels of salt macierel up to August 26 for the pact five yeas was as follows: 1886, 34,516; 1885, 212, 1899; 1881, 202, ,5s4; 1883, S7,054; 1882, 251 1850. Receipts of ha1ibut have continued light from most of the fish ing banks.

 WEE RIv ER JUNCI1oN, Vt., Sept. G. Both the Republican end Democratic parties will poll a large vote for an off yer at to- morrows election. The relative strength of the parties remains unchanged. The ques- tions of interest are, how large a vots will the Prohibitionists poll end how large ma jo1ity will Edmunds have in the les stature. MT. Edmunds is supported by e'l the Repub- ican papers in the State and by the corser- vative element in the party. His election is conceded by his opponents, who claim that he has betrayed his country and pc y and ssks re election es vlndication.

 Prof. R. c. Loveridge, of the New Haven Business college, has received letter from a clergyman in Jackson, Missouri, announc- ing the death and burial of Sturges B. Bsld- win, brother of Mrs. Loveridge, aged 43. MT. Baldwin spent several summers of late and most of the past year in New Haven, and when he left here April 25th last he was in- tending to go to California for his health, his lungs being affected. He died at the house of brother in Jackson, and yves bur jed from the Presbyterian church. He was born and brought up in Fairfield county, and was son of Deacon J. B. Baldwin, who died in Fairfield twenty-five years ago, and who was for many years deacon of the old South church, B1idgepoa5. MT. Sturges B.

THE FREE LIBRARY CONTRACT. Objections to some of its Provisions A Lengthy Discussion Probable and Hts Fate Doubtful.
 The proposed contract between the city and the Young Mems Institute for the estab- lshment of free public library provides for | the tuning over of all property of the Insti- tute to the city under conditions and restric- tions which will form basis of objection when the matter comes up for action before
 the Board of Aldermen two weeks from last night. This cropped out last evening in the brief discussion on the subject, when Alder
 man Daley objected to certain sections of
 the contract. Among the objectionable sec
 tions that will probably be opposed are the following:
 G. All the books, and bound works fur nished by the Institute, or on it's account,
 shall be kept separate and distinctly marked
 so es to be identified as a part of the Insti-
 tute library.
 7. All said books and bound works and
 said periodicals shall, at the expense of the
 city, be kept reasonably we'll repaired, and
 when book or set of books shall have be-
 come worn out it shall be replaced by the
 same work or other works of equal value to
 that fixed by the orig ginal inventory or ap-
 prasal.
 There are probably other sections that will
 meet with more or less opposition and it will not be surprising if favorable action for free public library is deferred for the consideration of the next generation. Alderman States stated to the Board last evening that the present contract had been | drawn after careful consideration by the representatives of the city and those of the Institute, and the conclusion had been reach ed that it was perfectly fair to all parties in interest. He said there was no disposition to cover up any thing, nor had there been any. He wes surprised that any opposition tor the scheme should crop out now as it had been
 supposed that the general plan Of transfer
 was thoroughly understood and the contract
 had been drawn in accordance herewith.
