LAST WEEKS STORM.
The Greatest ana Most Damaging in
the History of the Coast.

The Greatest ana Most Damaging in
the History of the Coast.
The storm of last week was terrific. While
March, 1888, it lasted longer and resulted in
the destruction of more property. The re-
port from the ocean by vessels which ex-
perienced the full force of the gale were full
of hardship and peril to life and property.
The storm had its origin in tie West In
dies and for few days it simply skirted the
coast, with little rain but plenty of wind.
1t finally broke over New Jersey, and be-
came general up to the coast of Maine.
At Coney Island the japanese pavilionwas
wrecked; the Oriental Hotel flooded Pain
fireworks display hoated; the Manhattan
Hotel, lawn and grounds were completely
destroyed; the music pavilion washed away,
and the marine railroad was covered with
six to eight feet of sand
Rockawav escaped with slight damage,
Atlantic City, n j., suffered worse, per-
haps, than any other place on the coast. All
roads and steam lines were flooded and no
communication could be had with the place
for two or three days. Journeys to the city
were accomplished only by perilous risks.
Supplies were cut off, and the city suffered
for milk, vegetables, and meat
Nearly all the bathing pavilions at the
shore were wrecked.
Staten Island came in for its share of
damage, and private property suffered great
damage.
The Sound boats were delayed, and also
all the coast mails, to say nothing Of the in
reference to telegraph wires,
Trees were uprooted and buildings un-
rooted in Brooklyn, and similar damage
was done in New York city. The tide flood
ed the Delaware beach just up to the abut-
at ba of
thirty feet from the Verdin House the water
was twelve feet deep. 1t was the highest
tide since 1867. Thirty vessels were piled
upon the beach.
Boston and adjoining points did not fee!
the storm as severely as the places just
mentioned although considerable damage
was reported at the shore resorts, Crescent
Beach coming in for the lightest share. The
shipping at all points was sadly int nrfered
with and oc an steamers We're delayed from
one to three days. Mariners report the
storm as the worst ever known.

A Wyoming Territory prosecuting at
torney being asked to proceed under the
territorial law against an Indian murderer,
refused on the ground "that he did not
think, if arrested and held to appear,
that any grand jury could be found that
would report true bill against one In
dian for killing another, as such act was
not particularly Objectionable or unpopu-
lar with the white people of Stevens or
the adjacent counties. Hence it would
be incurring too much legal expense
without any beneficial result. In fact he
could not see that it was matter Of any
concern to the taxpaying citizens, SO
long as no white person was killed" It
seems to the disinterested spectator, says
the Detroit Free Press, that the logic of
the official leads inevitably to the con-
cIusion that the Indian should be prose-
cuted and hanged so that two birds may
beskillsd with one stone,

A Wild Horse in a Grooery.

Meyer Yaroslabsky, New York express
man, left his wagon and two horses in front
of his house while he was up st ,irs eating
his dinner, Suddenly there was an uproar
In the street below. Looking out of the win
dow he saw that one of his horses was
plunging and rearing. When he rushed hat
less and coatless out of the tenement door,
the horse was half block away tearing like
mad in the direction of the East River
Everybody escaped except 16-year-old Esta
Hinschfield, and she was only slightly in
jured by being thrown to the pavement.
The horse tore on another block, and
plunged through the open shop door of
Meyer Hauptmans grocery and bakery.
The half doors were about three quarters
open, and were taken off their hinges in a
jiffy. The glass in them was smashed to
flinders. Hauptman's wife and two young
daughters were behind the counter. There
were several little children and baby in
arms In front of the counter All were par
alyzed with fear as the horse plunged
in and made for the passageway between
the counters. He went through in hurry.
Once behind the counter he made for door
leading to dark little room ten feet away.
There were only three feet between the back
of the counter and the wall, but the horse
quickly made wider passageway. He over.
turned the counter, battering the coffee mill,
which tumbled from it ON the floor under
his feet and shot through the door into the
little room. There is only one window in it
looking out on Attorney street. There wa,
an old-fashioned bedstead in it with a straw
mattress, and the horse made one last plunge
and landed with his forelegs on the bed, 1t
was crashed to splnters in an instant.
The horse was exhausted aud penned in. He
lay on the straw mating snorting There
was the widest commotion outside in the
shop and great crowds in the street. Yaro.
slabsky by this time had come up, and he got
Policeman Rott to venture into the dark
the runaway subdued but how to get him ouI
of his pen was the problem. The door was
about seven feet high and three feet wide.
He detached the pole and the harness, and
after great difficulty backed the gray out
into the shop. Once out In the shop his head
was pointed for the street and his owner
led him docile and submissive back to hii
stand

Must Have Steam for pilot Boats.

1t was said among the shipping men of
the Maritime ami Prodneo Exchanges at
New York that the recent storm more than
any other In recent years had demonstrated
that the time had come for q chan ye in pilot
boats. Mr., Radcliffe Baldwin, agent of the
state line of steamships says: during all
this storm the steamship companies have
been greatly DELAYED by the pre- ent system
of furnishing pilots, A number of pilots
have been carried out to sea by steamships
and have had TO be transferred to incoming
steamships eau sing delay all around. The
incoming Wisconsin had to get pilot from
the outgoing Adriatic, or she would have
been forced to wait outside until a pilot
could have reached her. The State of
Georgia was off the Highlands, and didn't
get pilot for two days. The time for the
steam pilot boats has come. If we had steam
pilot boats there would be no delays such as
thave referred to-"

Greater advance seems to have been
made in Russia in the displacement of
wood and coal as fuel than in almost any
other part of the world. Naphtha dregs
are used everywhere, and the railroads
and manufactures have adopted the new
fuel to the exclusion of the usual articles.
1t is fully 30 per cent. cheaper than
either wood or coal, occupies much less
space in storage aud can be handled more
readily. It's use has already become
common for domestic purposes, and it is

has been supplying the place of the regular
baggage master on the train for few DAYS,
and one of his duties was to bring to the
treasurer's office of the Old Colony road in
Boston the proceeds of ticket sal IS at diff

had about 500 in his charge, but instead of
delivering it to the treasurer he quietly
walked out of the station, and that was the
last seen of him by the Old Colony people,
He belongs in New Hampshire, and, so far
as can be learned by the officials of the Old
Colony, has been perfectly honest He is
about 80 years of age and is understood to
be bemarried Although the sum taken by him
is comparatively small, the officials feel par
ticularly bad about the transaction, bee iuse
it is the first time that the road has suffered
from embezzlement by any of the employees
