Result of q Severe Storm Along the New
England Coast.
Tidings of storm on the New Eng
land coast and inland have been re-
ceived from many points. At Birming-
ham, Conn, freshet in the Housatonic
River broke up the ice, and swept it
over meadows and under and through
bridges. Three hundred feet of
piling of the Derby Railroad was
snapped off like pipe stems. The pier
of one of the railroad bridge spans has
been taken and the iron span is topping.
Over l 600 tons Of ice must be removed
before travel can be resumed. Boat
houses and barns have been foated
away in the Naugatuck Valley. The
Derby Driving Park buildings are sub
merged and battered by ice. The
meadows are six feet under water, and
losses will be considerable.
AT Fall River, Mass, gales from the
south piled in the waters and the
wharves are flooded. Large quantities
of goods have been washed away, and
the harbor is dotted thick with cotton
bales, casks and goods boxes. Large
quantities of coal slid into the river
from pockets whose sides were burst
by the water. A large pile of lumber
was swept into the river and is floating
about. Two schooners were blown up
on Anthony's wharf. The American
Printing Company works and the
Metacomet mill have been compelled
to shut down, their fires having been
extinguished by the incoming tide.
At Providence, r. l., railroad tracks
and wharves are under water, and on
the east shore buildings have been
blown over. The tide was the highest
In fifteen years. Wharves are Hooded
at Newport, r. [.
At Highland Light, Mass, the high
southeast wind and rain which began
there last night developed into terrific
southwest to northwest gale to-day,
which continues tonight with very
high tides and low barometer. The in
dications point to bad night along the
coast
Heavy gales and extremely high tides
are reported along the Maine coast. At
Camden all the wharves were flooded,
and the water reached higher point
than eyer before known. At Eastport
the wind reached velocity of forty
five miles an hour, the barometer
dropped lower than for many years,
and the tide was the highest since 1869;
wharves were covered with water, and
damage was done in the lumber yards
near DY. In MaCnlaS the wafer WAS
the highest ever known, and much
damage was done to wharf property
and bridges. The worst snow storm of
the season struck Montreal last night
Reports from the country say that
traffic is generally imfeded. All in
coming trains are delayed.
At Allentown, Pa, rain has fallen
heavily. There is washout at Steu-
bens, on the Lehigh & Wilkesbarre
Railroad. At Slatington the water is in
a number of houses, caused by an ice
gorge at the Franklin dam. The Parry
Vile wire rod mill, Johnston & Swartz'
furniture, and the Adelaide silk mill are
idle. Three hundred people are not
working.
In Vermont bridges have been swept
away, and trains are delayed by storm
and freshet.

George Bancroft Passes Away at Wash
inQtOn.

George Bancroft Passes Away at Wash
ington.
A Washington dispatch of the 18th
SAYS: 1.-THE community was greatly
shocked this evening by the news that
George Bancroft, the venerable histo
rian, was dead. It had been realized
that Mr. Bancroft could hardly survive
much longer the increasing infirmi-
ties incident to his extreme old
age, but he had been in cheerful
spirits and apparently better health
this year, since his return from New
port, than for several seasons past, so
that his death was sudden and unex
pected to all, save few intimate friends
who knew of the attack of illness which
carried him off. Death occurred at $40
o'clock this afternoon. The end was
quiet and peaceful, and came after a
period of Inconsistencies, lasting ABOUT
twenty-four hours. Mr.. Bancroft, for
some years past, had been in the habit
of spending about five months in New
port and passing the winter and colder
seasons of the year in Washington.
Two years ago he had severe attack of
sickness which kept him in bed for four
or five weeks, and, as he was in his seth
year, grave apprehensions were felt for
his life. He recovered, however,
though never after that as strong as he
had formerly been. He came to this
city from Newport last October, feeling
better than for some time past. He was
in fine health and spirits, had an excel
lent appetite and a good faculty. for
sleep until last week, when he caught a
slight cold. He had always
lived carefully but generously,
and had said repeatedly within
the last six weeks that he had
L. 49, 4,
petite. Notwithstanding his cold, he
continued to seek outdoor exercise
every day until Thursday, when he
took to his bed as a matter of precau-
ton. His whole illness was less than
three days. He failed rapidly yester-
day and became unconscious in the
afterno On, in which state he remained
until the end His son, John G. Ban
croft, who, with his wife, kept house
for the historian, was with him in his
last moments. The attending physi-
clan, DR.. Wales, had left the house
short time before, as Mr.. Bancroft
looked then as if he would live through
the night.
Mr.. Bancroft was always fond of out
door exercise, to which, in a large
measure, he attributed his god health
and prolonged life and, after he discon-
tinued horseback riding, he regularly
walked about the city, attended by an
old servant. He lived here in a large
old-fashioned double house on H. Street,
in fashionable neighborhood, and his
garden here, as at Newport, was
filled with choice roses, in
which flower he delighted. He
regarded his life work as finished two
years ago, and of late had done no lit
erary work. During the last decade he
had revised his great work, the History
of the United States, going over it in a
severely critical style, and eliminating
the flowers of rhetoric in the earlier
work. His last production was history
of the formation of the constitution. He

cabinet he served as secretary of the
