lie Storm
Damages to shipping in the Har-
Dor and other Property.

The wind and rain storm which set in
last night about 6 O'Clock, and continu-
ed with great force throughout the night
was one OF the most severest that has
visited this section for years. The wat
ers OF the Chesapeake and the Severn
river and Spa creek were like q boiling
cauldron and the tempest tossed waves
did great damage to the shipping in
the harbor, the bridges that span the
rivers, and the wharf property gener-
ally, were greatly damaged. The har-
Dor was filed with sailing craft Of every
description, which were driven in by the
storm for safety The steamer Kent
which left Baltimore last night at mid
night encountered the storm soon after
she got out Of the harbor, but continued
on her course, and arrived here about 3
O'Clock Purser GLENN says he meyer
experienced such a storm, and thought
every minute the little steamer would be
STAYED in by the heavy seas that washed
over her decks A number of passen
gers were on board, among them several
ladies, who were all more or less fright
ened There was no other alternity
but for her to keep on her course,
for TO haye turned back and face the
storm would have been destruction. The
Kent was not able to leave her wharf un
Ill after the 3 o'clock this afternoon, the
weather being too rough for her to ven
ture out on her route TO South and West
rivers. The shipping in the harbor WAS
much damaged, and several large bug
eyes were driven by the force of the
wind against Spa bridge, and we're CON
siderably damaged. The draw of the
bridge was blown open while q horse
and wagon was passing over 1t, and It
was with difficulty gotten of. The bug
eyes were finally made fast to the bridge
which so loosened the frame from the
piles as TO render the bridge dangerous for
travel, and sign to that effect was put
up at both ends this morning warning
persons from passing over 1t. An oys-
ter vessel belonging TO Mr. c. A. Dubois
broke away from her anchorage and was
driven into the oyster houses and among
the small batteaux, doing considerable
damage The Eastern Shore boat was
unable to make her landing this morn
ing on account of the great storm in the
bay, and in consequence there was no
train from the Eastern Shore this morn
ing. The telegraph wires were also
blown down in many places along the
line. Many houses suffered in town
from broken shelters and glass. 1t is
feared that much damage has been done
on the bay to vessels that were caught
out In the storm.

4 case Of destitution, by which moth
OF was compelled to leave her infant to
the care Of strangers was disclosed at the
Lechler Hotel. Baltimore Several days
ago, says the Sun. about o'clock in the
evening, woman drove up 10 the hotel
and engaged and paid fer room for the
night and her breakfast the next morn
ing. She went at once to her room and
remained there until s o'clock the next
morning when she went out. Five hours
later when a servant entered the room
she found bluee eyed baby boy about
ten days old lying on the bed. Mrs.
I.echler. wife Of the proprietor OF the ho-
tel was notified, and she made an exami-
nation OF the child and room with the
hope of obtaining q clue as TO the baby's
naturalization. The only thing found
was a note pinned on the childs dress,
saving: please take care of this dear
little boy, poverty has compelled me TO
leave him" This was signed His
Mother" The child had no clothiug ex-
cept what he had on, and Mrs Lechler
went out and purchased complete out
fit for the little stranger. Mr.. and Mrs.
Lechler are undecided what to do with
the waif They first thought Of sending
il to st. Vinceni's Orphan Asylum. and
had a commitment made out for that
purpose, but the day they were to take
the little one to the asylum was raw and
Geld and they have postponed his remov-
al from day to day. In the meantime,
Mr.. and Mrs. Lechler are becoming al.
tached to the little stranger. and may
eventually adopt him. A description of
the woman who left the child at the ho-
tel has been given to Marshal Frey, and
the police department have been search
ing for her but without success.
