Two Lives Lost and Much Property
Destroyed.
OCEAN GROVE, August "a. Especial. )-The
widest summer storm that ever visited this
place broke upon US about 8 o'clock this
morning. The devastation is unparalleled
for years.
The boardwalk and pavilions are q
wreck. Tents were lifted bodily into the
air and collapsed, exposing the shivering
and scarcely clothed inhabitants to the
drenching rain. Trees snapped like pipe
stems and crashed into windows and
tents.
The intensest excitement, however. was
among the tents. About half hundred
cottages now lie on The ground. The gale
broke off the posts and in many cases the
tents collapsed before the occupants could
escape
CONSERVATION prevailed among the wo-
men. Many of them ran screaming through
the streets, bewailing their fate and asking
to be taken into shelter The more fortu-
nate neighbors, who live in frame houses
gave ready assistance to the homeless sum-
mer visitors.
The greatest damage in Ocean Grove was
at and near Lillagore's bathing establish
ment and among the tents along Fletcher
Lake.
The most of it was done within half an
hour after 345 o'clock in the morning.
The boardwalk between Lillagore's and
the fishing pier is entirely swept away. It
lies scattered along Ocean avenue and up
the streets as far as Central avenue, two
blocks away.
Lillagores establishment is a complete
wreck. The proprietor conservatiyely
estimates the loss at $4,000.
The Mary F. Kelley. a fishing smack from
New York, was wrecked. Four souls were
washed overheard and lost. Seven ter
rifed seamen were rescued after thrilling
experience.
Several tons of the wreckage are strewn |
up Broadway for two squares. Broken
chairs, pieces of roofing and flooring and
fragments of tables are promiscuously
mixed in the debries.

and ransacked The thieves removed q
pair of handsome gold cuff buttons that
were in Bishop Coleman's cuffs, which he
had left lying on the table in bis study
before retiring,
The offertory funds of the early morning
and evening services atSt. Johns Church
were also taken by the robbers. It was by
chance that the offerings were at the
Bishops house. The treasurer of the
church was away and Bishop Coleman
offered to take charge of the collection
until he. returned. which he did to-day.
The thieves secured lot of silverware and
several small pieces of jewellery. The loss
to the Bishop and his family will amount
to several hundred dollars.
