 CoNEY ISLAND, Sept. 14.-Shortly after midnight last night, there was a cloud burst directly over the island, the water coming down in tremendous quantities and doing almost as much damage to the lawns in the rear of the big hotels as the waves had done in front. It swelled the many lakes that have been made all over the island. This morning many of tho houses and all the small hotels were completely surrounded with from three to five feet of water. Some of the early risers had secured boats and were rowing around picking up hen coops, boards, barrels and other property that was floating about on tho new made lakes.
 The cloud burst did considerable damage to theBrighton Beach, Manhat- tan Beach and Oriental hotels.

 NEW YORK, Sept. 14.-The fury of the cyclone having somewhat abated, a large number of belated vessels have been enabled to take on pilots and make port. The coastwise vessels have been the greater sufferers from the elements
 While the situation on the whole is bad, it has been greatly exaggerated. Much damage has resulted, but most of the destruction has been wrought to fashionable summer resorts and is of a character that can be replaced. Most of the losses have fallen on people who can we'll afford the loss-wealthy sum- mer residents and proprietors of hotels. The loss to the poor people is not great.
 The destruction of vessels and loss of life on the sea, however, may provo to be very great.
 The big ansatlantic steamers are all safely in and the ones who are delayed by the cyclone are the coasters who have to face the storm during nearly the whole of their journey.
 The fact that not a sailing vessel has yet come into port seems to augur i'll for the safety of these vessels.
 At the ship news office this morning 1t was stated that none of the overdue steamers had arrived and that no sail ing vessel had yet entered port.
 Tho City of Columbia, which sailed from Havana on September 5. is already five days overdue and serious doubts are beeing entertained as to her safety.

 Several other coasters arc due or will be due in day or so and much anxiety is felt.

TURPENTINE MOVING UP.
a JUMP OF 7 CENTS A GALLON
SINCE A MONTH AGO.

The Seasons Receipts About Is Per
Cent. in Excess of the Same Time
Last Year and the Crop Expected
to Be a Large One - The Rosin
Market About Standstill.
The naval stores men speak encourag-
ingly of the prospects for a good trade this
season. A leading factor on the Bay said
yesterday that turpeatine has been advanc-
ing steadily for the last month, having
gone up cents and fraction, that is from
$40 to 412l cents. The advance represents
about the difference between the market
now and at the opening Of last season. The
product. also, continues to show a strong
tendency upward.
"How do the receipts thus far for the
opening season compare with these for the
same period last year"
The factor replied that the receipts so far
this season are about 10 per cent. in excess
of the corresponding periol last season.

Eyes, there IS an increase in the Georgia
crop of about Is per cent
''WiH Savannah get her share of the
crop|
''Oh, yes Savannah has no rival for the
turpentine output of Georgia. Some will
continue to 60 TO Brunswick, but this is the
market for the product. Some will be
bought for account to go to Brunswick, but
Savannah is the only market in the state
where the advances are made, and where
the turpentine farmers must come for their
money. The article goes on the market
here where prices are fixed. The money is
furnished by Savannah factors in the spring
and the turpentine must come here"
The naval stores business of Savannah has
steadily increased for the last twelve years.

the trade of Savannah for factors to close
their houses for the summer, aud 20 on
vacation, as there was little doing in naval
stores, and until the cotton began to come

there is much to be done and factors cannot
afford 10 neglect a trade which has made
this city the first naval stores port of the
world
The factor was asked if rosin had ad-
vanced proportionately with turpentine,
and he replied that it has not. In fact, he
said that owing to overproduction rosin has
been dragging the past year. Some think
that prices will rule little higher.

RAIL AND CROSSTIE.

I. ii. wilkinson, transfer clerk in the
mail service, has been promoted to clerk
ship on the Wilmington aud Jacksonville
route.
The little Barre railroad recently opened
IN Vermont Is surpassed by very few rail
ways IN the world in respect to steepness of
profile. The maximum grade is 264 feet
per mile and in less than four miles the
road makes an ascent of SO feet Curves
as sharp as 20 degrees radius are used on
some OF the sideings. The road was bull t
primarily to carry granite from the quar-
ries.
1t was announced in the Macon TeIe-
graph few days ago that the Central au-
thorlUles were about to extend the Columbus
and Rome railroad from Greenville to New
nan and to widen the gauge to standard.
The following surveying corps started on
the work yesterday: f. D. Miller, Ben

Rev. James Green's Love of Money
Gets Him into Trouble.
Justice Bevans sent Rev. James Green
colored to jail yesterday on a charge of
cheating and swindling. Julia Green, a
young colored girl, was the prosecutor.
From her statement and that of other wit
nesseS, 1t appears that Rev. Green was in
trusted with 81 rs, with which to send a
telegram to Charleston to the relatives of a
sick man, who was not expected to live.
Green came down town and sent the dis
patch for so cents, and kept the balance.
w hen he went back to where the sick man
was he told them that the amount was lust
enough to pay for the message The regu-
lar price, he said, was 81 80, but as he was

heard of the matter, and came to the city to
see about it. When they learned that so
cents was the cost of the mess
age, the minister was brought in
to the telegraph office, where the clerk told
them that 40 cents was the charge, and that
the company owed Green 10 cents. The
minister looked terribly embarrassed. He
acknowledged that he had kept the money.

the friends of the sick man. The girl who
