Owing to the severe storm Lieutenant
Walker, in charge of the armory, took down
the state flag which was suspended from
the armory flagstaff and replaced it with q

completely wrecked by the furious wind.
A small part of the flag was left on the

1t Was n slippery Night.

The streets were slippery during the
course of last nights storm, as many
found out to their cost. The falls of hur-
to jump from from moving cars were
numerous. One Yale student, in endeav-
oring to jump from one of the Fair Haven
and Westville cars in front of the New
Haven house, missed his calculations and
landed on his back instead of his feet.
He was not hurt, though his clothing was
in slightly demoralized condition from
the effects of the mud which lined Chapel
street at the time He pulled himself to-
gether and retreated into the corridor of
the hotel, from whence he issued in the
course Of few minutes smiling and as
"clean as q new pink" -

ceased was buried Tuesday from his late
home in the rear of 1874 Hamilton street
at st. Bernard's cemetery. He met with
an accident at the rolling mill ON Thurs

fell on some red hot metal at the rolling
mill.
Undertaken Sisk had charge of the
funeral and although the body was buried

noon. The certificate was signed by DIR.

THE STORM.

The Steamboats, Delayed En- Route
Long Distance Telephone Wires
Sufer-Other Efects.
The severe storm of yesterday prevailed
quite generally throughout the entire
state. No steamboats, arrived in this city
during the day, as the wind was 80 bolster
GUS on the Sound that the captains con-
sidered it unsafe to attempt the regular
trips. Communication with New York
from this city and other eastern points by
long distance telephone was interrupted
by the blowing down Of poles on the line
near Danbury From the difficulty in
te1ephoning hast evening it was evident
that several wires were crossed in this
city.
The clerks in the city stores had COM
paratively restful times during the day,
there being an almost complete cessation
of holiday shopping.
At the matinee performance at Bunnelrs
Grand Opera House much larger audi
ence was present than would have been ex
pected. This was also the case as regards
the Stoddard lecture. The principal bust
dess thoroughfares wore nearly deserted
appearance after the theaters were closed.
The violent wind abated at about 10
o'clock, as also did the rain, being the first
abatement of the storm in many hours.
The old Green needed no more flooding
from the fire department. Last evening
the lower Green looked like small lake.
The high waters from the meadows
along the shore have done much damage
to the roads and adjacent property. The
water was higher last night than it has
been known for years. Washington
street, at the bridge, was covered with
four feet of water. On Kimberly avenue
the entire street was submerged between
the two bridges and horse cars and
teams made the passage with great diff
Guilty At high tide the waters which
covered the meadows washed over into the
roadway and did much damage to the en-
bankment.
Along the east and west shores, particn-
larly at West Haven, the waves dashed
with unusual fury and caused some dam
age to wharves and bathing houses.
Throughout the highways over the hills in
Woodbridge, Bethany and other towns the
roads were badly washed by the storm.
South of Philadelphia the telephone and
telegraph wires were crossed and broken
in a manner that made communication
very difficult
DAMAGE TO STORES.
WATERBURY,, Dec. 1.-THE storm was
very severe here and the wind blew a gale.
Three plate glass windows were smashed
in by the violence of the gale, one at
Turner's dry goods store and two at Hud-
sons millinery store. Many signs were
blown down. A bill board in front of the
opera house blew down. injuring four
year-old boy who stood by it in its descent.
