DAMAGE AT SEA ISLE CITY.
Sea Wall and Many Cottages Carried
 Away and One Life Lost.

Sea Wall and Many Cottages Carried Away and One Life Lost. PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 13.-At Sea Isle City the lighthouse was tilted and the keeper and family were taken from it by the life saving corps. George Savers attempted to swim out and save his yacht and was drowned.
 This is the only fatality reported. The storm, which has demolished build ings, washed away railroad beds, destroyed bridges and beat down telegraph wires in a way never before experienced here, shows no signs of abatement. The sea wall, from which so much was expected on occasions like the present, has been washed away, except a small portion in front of the Continental Ho- tel. The sand piles, which extended along the beach like . series of bulwarks, are level led by the heavy waves, and the board walks have been carried out to sea.
 Just south of the Continental there is Q large gap which marks the spot where 6 mum. Der of houses stood before the storm arose on Monday. They were carried away by the force of the waves. The cottages of num- Der of prominent people have been entirely
 PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 13-The British brig Anglo from Tursks Island for Boston was abandoned on the 10th instant, totally dis- masted. The crew were rescued by the steamer Prussian and landed at Philadel- phia.
 PROVIDENCE, Sept. 13.-George Pulsifer, a young man supposed to be drowned from a small sailboat he reckIessly attempted to nav. igate from Mumford's Cove to Stonington Wednesday, surprised his friends by alight- ing from the train at Stonington this after noon safe and sound. He was headed we'll out into the Sound before he discovered the mistake he had made, and how well founded the warnings were. He could not turn back, as both wind and tide were against him. Nearly every sea broke over the craft, and in a short time it was full of water and he was clinging to the gunwale for support and sub- merged to his neck and being carried sea- ward. The men on three masted schooner anchored about half mile away picked him up and cared for him until this morning when a Hull in the storm allowed of his being land- ed. No one at Stonington expected to see him alive again.
 THE WRECKAGE AT SANDY HOOK. SEABRIaHr, N. J., Sept. 13.-The sea has closed the inlet 1t made two days ago through the Sandy Hook peninsula between here and Highland Beach. The inlet cut in about g mile north of the Highland Beach railroad station is still open. It is nearly one hun dred feet wide, but only from fifteen to twenty feet deep. In it is one of the wrecked passenger cars of the Central railroad of New Jersey. On the south side of the new inlet lies locomotive half imbedded in the sand. On the north bank is another pas- senger car which has been shorn of It's wheels and is half full of sand. The rail road track is twisted into all sorts of shapes and is entangled in mass of telegraph wires and debris of all kinds. For distance of two miles the tracks are covered deeply with sand. number of small ves- sells are sunk in the Shrewsbury river near Highland Beach. Opposite the north end of the hills of the Highlands of Nave- sink is small island which is owned by the government. A number of vessels are stranded there, but it is impossible to ascer- tain their names. No information can be obtained from Sandy Hook. Half dozen catboats and small yachts are stranded on the beach at the foot of the Highlands of NavasipE
