THE HEAVY STORM

Delays Traffic on the Sound-DeIaYs

 of Rafn-The Reservoirs Through
 out the State Well Filled once
 More.
 At about 7 o'clock yesterday morning light rain began to fall and continued to increase until at g o'clock it poured down in torrents, accompanied by violent gusts of wind. Before noon the streets and gut ters were flooded with water, and people were enveloped from heels to ears in their Mcintosh coats or otherwise fortified them selves by extra clothing. No particular damage was done, except the flooding of several cellars and the breaking off of many rotten limbs from the elms and other trees. Day before yesterday it rained all along the Atlantic coast, from Connecticut to Florida. Off the coast the sea ran high, and navigation of smaller boats was unsafe. The boats of the Starin line were both overdue and were lying to at Cow Bay. The New Haven line boat, Continental, which left New York at Il o'clock of the 11th, did not arrive, and also laid in harbor waiting for the storm to abate.
 Traffic to and from this port has been completely at standstill. Small craft has for the main part laid in close to the shore. The rainfall was one-quarter inch The highest rate of wind recorded was fifty milas an hour off Block island
 The rain was most acceptable and we shall hear no more probably about short water supplies in the towns in Connecti- cut that have been scantily supplied.
 New Haven fared we'll as to water SUD- ply, although the water at Whitney and Saltonstall was getting rather low. Now, however, the supply is once more abund- ant.
 The c. H. Northam of Old Line steam boats started from New York yesterday at o'clock, arrived here at 9:1O last evening, being considerably shaken up by the storm. At midnight last night it was learned that the Continental was safe at Fort Schuyler, and that both the John H. Starin and the Erastus Corning of the Starin line were safe.

Funeral of Mrs. E. c. Beeche CT.

The funeral of Mrs. Edward c. Beecher, wife of the real estate dealer, was attended yesterday afternoon from Trinity church, Rev. Dr. Harwood officiating. A large number of friends of the deceased at tended the service.
 The following gentlemen were pail bear CTS: Hon. A. Heatoa Robertson, Thomas M. Prentice, James G. English, Isaac B. Prindle, John E. Bassett, Dr. w. D. Anderson.
 During the time that Mrs. Beecher's health was failing she went to California, hoping for beneficial results from the change of climate, which did not produce the desired improvement. She failed gradually until yesterday, when she breathed her last in Pasadena.
 Mrs. Beecher's death recalls the circum- stances of the sickness and death of Jap anese student who was formerly boarder at her home. As the student had but few friends in this city and as he was a very deserving young man of high character Mrs. Beeeher devoted considerable time and careful attention to the young man during his illness. His complaint was consumption, and it is feared that Mrs Beecher's health was undermined in con- sequence of her bestowing so much care on the invalid.
 Mrs. Beecher suffered an internal injury during her sojourn at Newtown some time ago, when she saved her mother from dangerous fall, and it is supposed that this circumstance tended to hasten her death, which is sincerely mourned by large circle of friends and acquaintances. The deceased was an excellent and accom- plished woman whose many admirable qualities made for her large number of dear friends.

FROM THE l., S. o,

At meeting of representative members of the association of L. S. O., held last evening, the following preamble and resolution were adopted: For the sixth time since our last annual meet ing the brotherhood of l.. s. O. is called to death of highly honored and dearly beloved Bigelow are reminded that the grim mes senger is no respecter of persons. With un- abated interest we have watched the career of Brother Bigelow from his young manhood to the day of his death. We have rejoiced in his business prosperity and have witnessed with pardonable pride hls elevation to the highest positions in the gift of his citizens of this city and commonwealth.
 From year to year we have been cheered by his presence and active participation in the annual meetings of the L. s. O., and we had fondly hoped that, together with those who still survive, he might be permitted next year to par ticipate in the fortieth anniversary of our or ganiZation.
 Be it resolved, in behalf of the association which we represent, the members of which are now scattered throughout the length and breadth of the land, that in the death of ex-Governor Bigelow his friends fellow citizens and the world at large sustain an irreparable loss.
 Resolved, That we extend to the bereaved fam fly our tenderest sympathies, well knowing that we cannot measure their grief by our own sad experience realizing also how futile are mere words at this time, and commenting them to that God whom the departed worshipped and who alone can afford adequate consolation in mans extremity.
 , CHARLES A. BALDWIN, President.

THE TOURNAMENT POSTPONED On Account of Rain-Hovey, Wrenn and Lee All Here-The Solid Silver Prizes-Harvard Probably Gets the Cup Again-Fourteen Colleges Rep.
 resented.
 The intercollegiate tennis tournament, which was to have commenced at 10 o'clock yesterday morning, has had to be post poned on account of the weather. This is somewhat unfortunate for many of those entered from other colleges, as their time is limited, but of course all such absences will materially increase Yale's chance Of success in the finals. This will be the sixth intercollegiate tournament that has been played on the New Haven Lawn club grounds, the first being played in 1885 with Knaff of Yale winner in the singles and Knaf and Shipman, Yale, in the doubles. Yale did not win first place again until 'S9, when Huntington won in the singles, the Parker brothers taking second place in the doubles. The score between Yale and Harvard is now as follows: In the singles Harvard has frsts and no seconds, while Yale has three frsts and
 
 present, though Yale had it in 'S9. The conditions are that it shall be won three times in succession to insure possession. There are twenty eight entries in the sin gles and fourteen ill the doubles. The number of colleges now in the league are fourteen, Yale, Harvard, Princeton and most of the smaller colleges being repre- sented.
 The prizes will be solid silver dishes for ! lo; ;,,f fhn fNr winners in the doubles a pair of elegantly ornamented clocks from Ford's. There will also be cut glass pitcher for consola- tion prize.
 Yale will be represented this year by Parker, Rowland and Fisher in the singles and by Sanford Shaw and Parker-Howland in the doubles. Hovey, who was cham pion last year, beating Campbell, will rep resent Harvard in the singles. Among the other prominent players who are now here may be mentioned Gee of the Varsity of Pennsylvania, who has beaten Hun tington, Yales former champion. Nc Mullen of Columbia, who is one of Columbia's one stand-bys and Brown from Amherst, who has been doing good tennis | this year. Yale hopes to win @ second in the doubles, and possibly one in the | singles. But little better can be hoped for l if Hovey is playing in his accustomed | form.
