THE CITY OF ELMS
Suffers From Terrific Wind Storm-Oys-

Suffers From Terrific Wind Storm-Oys-
ter Beds Heavily Damaged.
New HAVEN, Ct, Aug. 24.-Last night
and this morning New Haven was visited
by the most destructive storm which has
been witnessed here in 40 years. Rain fell
briskly about midnight, and at a. M, q
gale came up which developed into tenn
pest within an hour.
The velocity of the wind kept increasing
as time went on. At o'clock it was 80
miles an hour, and at 9 o'clock 1t had at
tanned the extreme velocity of 40 miles an
hour. Before day break wires were down
in all directions.
New Haven's stately elms seemed the
especial mark of the storm. More than 800
were wrested from their places and toppled
over and broken. The streets of the city
in general resembled forest. Street cars
failed to run till $50, when the efforts of a
large gang Of street cleaners proved eff
fectual. Two horses were killed by step
ping on a live wire which the storm had
torn down. The damage to the harbor is
the greateat known in years.
The oyster beds have especially suffered.
They are thought to be completely banked
In mud by the action Of wind and wave and
may prove total loss. If 30, the money
damage will be hundreds of thousands of
dollars.
The shipping in the harbor was also badly
damaged. The big Puritan OF the Fall
River line put in here last night because Of
the stress of the weather and remained to-
day.
There were many narrow escapes tc
to human beings, but so far as known
tonight no fatalities are reported

BUzzARD's BAY, Mass, Aug. 24-The
storm has ragged with great fury on this
portion Of the coast to-day. The position

magnificent spectacle to look upon. The

president did not venture on his regular
fishing trip, but remained within doors all
day.
