A Great Storm.
THE DROUTH RROKEN

The beginning of the great storm
was on, while running off our edition
last week, but it was only beginning
The rain began to fall at the close of
the day, the wind increased with the
hours, until it reached the dignity of a
hurricane, the fiercest part being be-
tween midnight and day. The houses
trem6Ied under the ferceness of the
gale, and continuing as it did for hours
lett evidence of its effects everywhere.
Things in the gardens were blown
about but there was little damage to
the trees besides blowing off branches
and whipping off leaves. In the coun-
try the effect has not been as desastrous
since the tidal wave" storm of '78
Inc corn was mostly leveled in the
nelds and the resisting fodder ribboned
and thousands of baskets of fruit whin.

stacked with peaches, the loss in this
particular would be hard to calculate
but fall pears and winter apples covered
the ground, and this could not beother
than positive loss.
1t was the edge of a West Indian
hurricane that struck us. and the
coast, from the capes of the Delaware
10 70, massachusetts, is strewn with,,Wrecks.
Inc loss OF life has been appalling and
the list of disasters is probably still in
complete. At least rs persons are be-
lleVed to have perished in different
vessels that went down or were driven
aground along the coast during Wed. |

chance to live through the furv of |

the Hon, William Grants orchard Of
Mlddletown were blown down. Mr.
Grant expected to pick over 1000 has'

snlps were impossible on account of
the trees that lay across them and
people are compelled to drive across

are badly damaged by washouts.
THE STORM IN NEW ENGLAND
All along the coast it was one of the
widest that has been experienced in
sever, several years. Four pontoons and a
schooner were wrecked two miles
north OF Narragansett Pier and William
Oooian' driver was drowned. All the
small boats in the bay at Hartford

safe to assert that never was a finer
consignment of the luscious fruit placed
before the public gaze. They were
stored on the rear porticO of the Della

day thousands of wistful eyes feasted
greedily upon them and as many long

shippers of this fruit-among whom
were A. N. Brown, DIR. Henry Ridgely,
Hon. E. L. Martin, II. G, Pennington,
Henry P. Cannon-gave this industry
the most widespread and practical ad.
vertisement. The good condition in
which the fruit arrived was, of course,
largely due to the fast train service
that transported them-they were ship
ped in baggage car and came on the
fast western express-but A. N. Brown
tried an experiment that should COM
mend itself to those desirous eff seeking
