THE RICHMOND PUT BACK.
The Richmond, which should now be on
her way south, having started last Tuesday
night, put back. A storm was encountered
off the Hghtshp about mid light TUESDAY,
aud fearful of ven uring further to sea, the
anchor was left down in Gravesend bay.
Seeing that the storm showed no sign of
abatinz, and as the vessel was light, the
captain turned her nose back toward her
dock. The weather in the lower bay the

severe The wind blew at a territic rate,
while, strange to say, dense fog enveloped
everything and made navigation well nigh
impossible. Grayesend bay was covered
with ste ,ners and vessels of all kinds, wait

JOY OVER THE FIRST TRAIN.
Great JOY was mantle, ted at 9:45 o'clock
this morni when Western Union messen-

they were all sent. The first section had

Every car was crowded, even to the standing
