TIE STORM IN PORTLAND.
The Coast Lashed by a Fierce North.

The long period OF comparatively pleasant
weather was broken Tuesday night by violent
storm of wind and rain that was general, not only
along this coast, but across the ocean few days

about IT inches in this city. The storm was
quite general along the coast, the rainfall at Bos
ton and other points south being nearly ia
inches on an average. The full force Of the
storm had not reached Eastport yesterday morn
ing, but it was raining there.
When the rain ceased, yesterday morning the
wind breezed up and for time blew young gale
from the north, at intervals reaching a velocity of
thirty-two miles an hour,
There was little damage done in this city, al
though the fall of leaves was tremendous.
young tree on Vesper str eet was upset by the
gale and broken off short.
The culvert on the corner of Deerng ana State
streets now In process Of construction. was filled
with gravel and water and the forenoon was lost
in balng it out again.
In the height OF the storm two yachts parted
their moorings and rapidly drfted before the gale.
One was the Spray, lately owned by Capt. Horace
Davis, struck on the beach at Mill Creek, Cape
Elizabeth, where she now lies, high and dry. The
other brought up on the flats farther out Both
