information from Cape Breton indi-
Gates that the recent storm has been
the most destructive experienced there
in thirty years. Great damage was
done at South Igonish and for
80 miles along the gulf shore.
About nineteen houses and three
stores were washed away. So great
was the force of the sea that large
rocks were carried through the frail
houses. The houses were soon under
mined, then wrecked and foated out to
sea with their contents. Everything
was lost, but the inhabitants escaped,
and no lives are as yet known to
be lost. Sixteen miles up the
coast is New Haven, another
cove of some thirty families. Here
the houses are built back on the shore.
but the fish houses and the stores are
on the beach. These buildings, with
their contents, valued at $40, 900, went,
as did those of South Ingonish, being
swept out to sea with all they con-
tanned. At Middle Head and other
places along the coast fish houses, huts
and fishing gear were destroyed.

SARANAc LAKE, n. Y, Feb 11.-Not
since the great blizzard of 1888 has the
Adirondack region been so completely
showed under. Friday the railroads
abandoned the idea of running trains,
and several trains were stalled for
hours by the tremendous banks of
snow. The situation for time was Sc
rious, and but for the hundreds of men
who were sent to the scenes of the de-
lay to dig out the trains much suffering
among the passengers might have en-
sued. After a great deal of labor the
trains were shoveled out.
