A sociated Press Dispatches to the HERALD
PHILADELPHIA, September 13.-Trains
over the Camden and Atlantic, to and
from Atlantic City, commenced running
on schedule time today. The exodus
from the sesshore is great. The train
which left Atlantic City at 6:55 this
morning consisted of seven cars, all
heavily loaded. The one which left at
7:30 brought the same number of cars,
and following the two early trains was
one of two sections, which left Atlantic
City at 8 80 a. m. 1t consisted of six
teen cars, all heavily loaded with pas
sengers.
The water has almost entirely subsided
aud the rosdbed is clean. Until this
morning no definite idea Of damage to
the West Jersey road could be gained,
but as the mist clears away and the
spray disappears it is seen that the road
bed is in terrible shape. Possibly
the Reading road, taking the entire
stretch into consideration, is the
most completely wrecked. The
West Jersey officials have dispatched
heavy repair trains to the scene of the
disaster, and will push the necessary re-
pairs to speedy completion. The Read
ing road has also several hundred men
actively at work on the meadows.
DAMAGED MAILS.
The mails along the New Jersey and
Delaware coast, which have been accu-
mulating since Monday last, owing to
trains being detained, commenced arriv.
ing at the postoffice last evening, and

ter, particularly that from Sea Isle City,
was in a very moist condition on account
of being carried some distance on boats
through the storm.
A GERMAN SHIP AGROUND.
The German ship Gestermunde is
aground at Alesecon Beach. The sea is
very heavy and the crew will be obliged
to abandon her to destruction.

verify Of the storm in loss OF sails and
rigging. The fog which enveloped the
lower bay for several days has cleared
