Great Damage Caused by the Cyclone In
 Atlantic City.

Great Damage Caused by the Cyclone In
 Atlantic City.
 ATLANTIC CITY, Sept. 23.-The 10, ,OOO win- ter inhabitants of Atlantic City are rapidly preparing themselves for the oold season. The hotels, which will remain open for the accommodation of visitors, have all been en- closed in glass. Atlantic City suffered more damage from the great cyclone than any other resort on the coast, not excepting Coney Island. The pride of the place, the great board walk, five miles in length, is now mass of ruins. The music halls, the merry 9o-rounds with one exception and the bathing houses were swept away by the floods. Noth- ing now remains but the terrific tobogean slide and one merry -go.round, owned by Young & McShea. On Sundays this machine is stopped and the great enclosure is used by the Young Women's Christian Temperance union free of any charge or rent. It was be- cause of this kindness, so say the supersti- tious, that the merry -go-round escaped wreck ing in the storm.
 The first thing that the visitor sees as the train approaches Atlantic City is great three-masted schooner lying on her side. Her sails are all set. Her boats are swinging at her side. From tho distance the schooner appears as good as new, yet in her side is an enormous gaping wound. She went ashore in the storm and is now worthless. She is only one of many wrecks
 The cable cars which run along Atlantic avenue, the principal business street of the city, in ten minutes take one up to the light house and Life Saving Station. The occu- pants have had little to do since the great storm. A walk down the magnificent beach reveals the great damage done by the storm. The enterprising show and shop men have al- ready begun rebuilding their establishments Where once stood enormous buildings noth- ing now remains but piles of broken and splintered wood. The rubbish has been piled up in solid wall about fifty feet from the sea.

 Temple By Pitched Ball.
 NEW YORK, Sept. 23.-At the close of the ten-inning tie game between the Keene Baae- ball club and nine of the Staten Island Ath- letic club, at West Brighton, s. T., Saturday afternoon, Thomas J. Godfrey. short stop for the former club was struck by a pitched ball and received injuries which caused his death at eleven o'clock Saturday evening He attempted to dodge back to avoid a swift ly thrown Gin shoot," but was not quick enough to escape the ball, which struck him on the left temple.
 Young Godfrey was a man of determined pluck, and after the accident insisted on walking to the club house, 100 yards dis- tant. A physician, Dr. Walker of New Brighton, was immediately summoned, and the sufferer was removed to the Richmond hospital, where it was ascertained that his skull was fractured. At nine o'clock God- frey rapidly grew worse. He desired that a priest should be sent for, and on the arrival of one the last rites of the Roman Catholic church were performed. The last thoughts of the sufferer were for his mother, an aged widow, whose sole support he was, and who is heartbroken by her sudden afaction.
 Godfrey was twenty-four years old and was said to be the best short stop that has appeared on the Staten Island diamond. He was we'll known throughout the island and was very popular.
 The Staten Island Athletic club has start ed subscription for the benefit of Godfrey's mother. Nearly $500 has already been pledged or paid in, and it is expected that the final sum will approximate $1 1000. This will be increased by sympathizers not be longing to the club. Many members of the Staten Island Athletic club will attend God frey's funeral, which will be under the di rection of the club.

RIG FAILURE.

Relford, Clarke d Co. of Chicago Go te
 the Wall-The New York and Brook
 lyn Branches in the Sherif's Hands
 Nominal Assets Less Than $20O, 900
 -Indebtedness over $4OO,OO0.
 CHICAGO, Sept. 23.-The mammoth pub fishing house of Belford, Clarke 6 Co.,, which has large establishment here and branches in New York and San Francisco, went to the wall to-day. Judgments were entered against them in the circuit court for $e9, ,ss5 in favor, of the First National bank and for SIS, ,000 in favor of s. A. Maxwell & Co. Attachments were issued, but shortly after the place was seized by the sheriff and 8 receiver appointed by Judge Shepard. The failure of the house,. while surprise to the general public, had been expected for some time by those who were familiar with the firms standing. Bel ford, Clarke s. Go. started in business here about ten years ago and were perhaps the l, largest publishers west of New York. They were extensively engaged in publish ing standard works and in this respect were one of the largest houses in the United States. Lawyer Newman, attorney for sev- eral creditors, and also for their receiver, said that three things were responsible for the failure. In 1886 their entire plant was destroyed by fire, causing net loss to them of over $30, 1000. MT. Newman said shat in his opinion the assets of the company, con- sisting of stock, plates, cuts, dies, copyrights, etc., would amount to about $400, ,000 and the liabilities te about $350, ,000 or $400, 900. The principal Creditors are the Grove Print ing company over $15, ,0OO, Donohue & Hen- messy $75, ,00e. The First National bank of Chicago $50, 1000, s. A. Maxwell $13, ,000.
 The1e are, also, heavy creditors in New York and San Francisco. MT. Newpsn said the receiver would continue to issue Bel. ford's Monthly, magazine the firm has been publishing for sometime which mas sub- scription list of over 25, ,000. Another lawyer discussing the causes of the failure says An- drew McNally of Rand, MoNally & Co.,, who is MT. Belford's father-in-law, has been back ing the firm for sometime and that his re- fusal to endorse the firms paper prompted the First National bank to enter judgment. The attorney thought if Mir. McNally had not discontinued his support the firm might have pulled through:
 Thomas 0. Hammon, @ member of the firm of Walker. Oakley & Cook, leather $100, ,000. Prior to the appointment of the receiver, Donohue & Hennessy, who are among the largest creditors, filed bill in which it is stated that the broken corpora tion's capital was $3O0, 1000, of which only $2O0,0 had been paid in. The nominal assets, according to this bill, amount to less than $200, 1000, while the indebtedness will exceed $4O0,00O.
 NEW YORK, Sept. 23.-The sheriff to-day took possession of the store of Belford, Clarke & Co.,, book publishers at No. 22 East Eight. eenth street. An attachment for $25, 1000 was assigned by the First National bank of Chi cago. The attachment was granted on the ground that the firm are foreign corpora. tion, the headquarters being in Chicago. The branch in Brooklyn was also seized.
