condition, and railroads are also badly inter-
fered with by the storm Reports Of damage
come from all coast points. Ocean City is
almost entirely under water No trains can
get into or out Of Atlantic City, and as the

rather alarming. The place iso low ground,

its side on the Anglesea branch of the Penn
sylvania railroad and that the passengers
had to climb out of the windows, and are

The Damage 500. 900.

At West Brighton as the waves grew
larger and fiercer people fed in terror, hardly
hesitating TO secure their personal possessions
The damages on the island will not fall short
OF Sl00,OO0 in the aggregate The extent Of
the floods ravages may be imagined from
the fact that a strip Of the island 500 feet
wide and two miles long, extending from the
Oriental hotel to Garry Katen's, is under
water from three to twelve feet deep
Parts of Nanderveer's and West Brighton
hotel have already been carried away. The
Casino is completely wrecked, and the Man
haitian Beach and Brighton Beach hotels
were SO badly undermined that their entire
destruction is feared. Both the iron piers
are badly wrecked, the flooring being torn

Thomas Detina, cigarmaker, and Camille
Angerami, aged ls hired William Gallon TO
row them from One Hundred and Twenty
fifth street ferry TO Fort Lee. The water
was so rough that the boat capsized and An
gerami and Gallon were drowned. Defna
clung 10 the overturned boat and was
nearly dead from exhaustion when rescued
by a passing schooner.
Fire From Broken Electric Wires.
Early in the morning the wind broke down
an electric light wire in Grand street, setting
the roofs of two houses on fire and badly
frightening all the residents in the block
Along South street from the Battery to Peck
slip the street was covered by four inches Of
water over the sidewalks, blocking all traffic
Devastation at Coney Island.
Serious and impressive was the ruin
wrought at the Rockaway and Coney Island
beaches and along the New Jersey. Long ISL
and and Connecticut shores. Startling evi-
dence Of the storms fearful force was pre-
sented in the wreck of the marine railway
from Brighton to Manhattan beach. The
heavy trestles were splntered and broken
like kindling wood, the steel rails, where
bent like pins in the grasp of the storm god
The hoorings Of the stations were completely
demolished, and five passenger coaches are
piled in the sand at the Brighton end OF the
road. The beautiful lawn in front Of the
Brighton beach hotel was completely wiped
out, the basement of the hotel itself flooded,
and the music pavilion in which Seid and
his orchestra has held thousands entranced
is so badly undermined that it may topple
over at any moment.
Family's Narrow Escape.
The Shelter house, about half mile above
West Brighton, came near being the scene
of tragedy. W. f. Murray, bis mother,
wife and three children, occupied it Monday
night Early yesterday morning they were
awakened by the noise Of crashing timbers
that followed the thunderous beating of the
great waves on the shore. The house trem-
bled like leaf as each shock of the waves
on the beach sent the water up over it in
seething foam. The women rushed about
screaming and panic stricken. Murray bar
ricaded the front DOORS and quieting the
fears of the women and children, conveyed
them through the back door TO a place OF
safety. Twenty minutes afterward the edi-
flce fell in a shapeless mass Of wooden frag-
ments.
At the Brighton Beach race track 800
horses, including the famous Exile, were
rescued with difficulty when the track was
four feet under water. An English woman
with two babies was seen floating in a stall
upon the track and was rescued by a colored

mum at AhNAhaMhls
Rockaway beach and the contiguous re
sorts of Far Rockaway, Arverne and Wave
Crest also suffered severely. Old residents
say that the ocean has not manifested itself
so wildly along that shore In thirty years.
At Rockaway, Eldred's hotel and bathing
houses were washed into the ocean. The
East End hotel lost 1876 bathing houses. The
iron pier was covered, and all the houses
near the surf were swept away. The train
that left Arverne at 1917 q. m. only reached
Long Island city at II .55, after perilous
trip. Later in the day the bridge from
Arverne TO Lawrence was washed away
The tracks for miles We're submerged and
numerous washouts occurred, causing i'm

Ruin Along the Jersey Coast.
Along the Jersey coast the wind and water
have worked a vast amount Of destruction,
and from Long Branch timber and wreckage
are TO be seen for miles in every direction.
Thirty feet Of the bluff in front of the Allan
tic hotel slid into the sea, and along Ocean
avenue there are number of bad washouts.
The new bulkhead in front of the B. Percy
Dobbins estate is gone, and twenty-five feet
of the roof of the iron pier Small buildings
and bathing pavilions are strewn in piles
along the shore. AT Elberon the damage
was equally great.
Az the West End, Ocean avenue, between
the Depeyster property and Scarboro hotel,

for one carriage, and number Of people
have been driven cut Of their flooded cot

LINCoLN's MAIDEN SPEECH.

Judge Bell, of Mt. Carmel, ILL.,, furn-
ishes the following maiden speech of
Abraham Liecoln, delivered in Rapps
vile, near Springfield, ILL.,, nearly fifty
years ago. Mr.. Lincoln was not then a
lawyer and had no intention of becoming
one. He had then made up his mind to
learn the blacksmith trade. His genius
was recognized and he was suddenly
nominated for the Legislature. His first
speech is most interesting reading at this
time. 1t was as follows:
"Gentlamen and Fellow Citizens I
presume you all know who l am. l am
humble Abraham Lincoln. | have been
solicited by my friends to become a can
didate for the Legislature. My politics
are short and sweet l am in favor of a
National bank; am in favor of the inter
nal-imprOvement system and high pro-
tective tariff. These are my sentiments
and political principles. If elected, 1
shall be thankful; if not it will be all the
same"

QUAINT WORSHIPERS.

Pittsburgh Dispatch.
This was in the good old days of Meth
odism when the solemn congregation was
not supplied with hymn books, and in all
probability could not read them if they
had been.
At Wellersburg. a quaint old country
town in the heart of the Blue Mountains,
along the Maryland state line, the minis
ter, as had been his wont for full 40 years,
arose to read few lines of the hymn from
his solitary book, when it was the duty of
the wOrshlperS to sing the lines and await
their cue from the next.
The good and holy man appeared some
what nervous on this especial Sabbath
morn, but even his nervousness could not
cause him to deviate one single infection
in his see-saw- cracked intOnatiOn as he
leaned forward, as he had done many a
time and oft in giving the opening hymn,
and said with the Old-time drawl that
seems forever lost:
"Ay eyes are dim, 1 cannot see,
left my spectS at home"
The quaint, simple, faithful congrega-
ton dutifully sang:
''AIaw avs aw deem aw cav now saw etc.
This slightly ratified the dear old relic,
and his voice trembled somewhat on the
rising infection, but not enough to create
a suspicion in the minds of the slow
thinking congregation as he said:
81 did not mean that you should sing
i only meant my eyes were dim
Away went the congregation again to
the sweet tune of Old Hundred:
law deed nav meen thaw yaw shaw saw" etc.
1t has been many years since the little
three -cornered plot of ground back of the
old church has held the revered form of
r the faithful pastor, but even to this day
there is legend in those mountain wilds
that the quiet, holy man had once laugh
ed outright in the pulpit, and for nc ap-
parent cause.
