The Loss at Atlantic City.

ATLANTIC CITY, y. j., sept l2.-It will
take months for this city to recover from the
loss the storm has caused. The winu still
blows thirty-dve to forty miles an hour,
and it is still raining. The beach tides
have not. been large to-day, consequently
unaccOmpanied by further damage. The
meadows are till three and four feet under
water.
There were many exciting scenes during
the storm Tuesday morning. The summer
visitors became panic stricken and rushed
half clad from the hotels 10 the railroad
depots. They tumbled pell.mell into the
cars and forced the trainmeu 10 make up
the train. Finally four trainlOads were
made up with locomotives in front and in
The rear, and started for the mainland.
They went slowly, for the water was sew
erai feet deep over the tracks, and the waves
dashed against the ear windows, smashing
them in and drenching the occupants.
Finally il became evident the mainland
could not be reached, and the trains started
back They mad only gone a short
distance when the fires in the locomotives
were extinguished and the trains brought
t. a stand still in the midst of the raging
waters The scene Is indescribaole. Re-
lief engines finally arrived and succetd ded
after much difficulty in dragging the trains
TO a place OF safety.
Late Tuesday night the whistle of q
steamer was heard and she went aground,
but the waves were so great the life saving
crew could do nothing toward rescue. 1t
is supposed She has gone to pieces and all
drowned. The wTecsege came ashore
yesterday bearing the name Philadoux.
Five sections of a train loaded with peo-
pie left here for the main land this morn
ing. The water is still so high il almost
reached the fires in the engines. Fifteen
thousand people will leave here to-day
and tomorrow.
1t is estimated that $4,000 will cover
the loss to Atlantic City and her interests.
Great JOY was manifested this morning
when a messenger was dispatched through
the city to announce the first train since
Monday afternoon would start at 10 O'Clock.
great rush was made for the Camden *
Atlantic railroad station, and In less than
half an hour il was crowded. Five sections
were sent out The first section bad eight
passenger coaches and q baggage car
Every car was crowded even 20 standing
space The trip across the meadows was
one not soon TO be forgotten Hundreds of
pleasure boats of all sizes and descriptions
we're packed close 20 the roadbed. The
masts of many of these had 70 be cut away
10 permit the trains to cross the long beach.
The new Inlet cut through the Sandy
Hook peninsulAr above SeaOright Is being
rapidly widened and deepened by the
assaults OF the surf. The streets on the
west side OF Seabright are still under six
feet of water.
