The storm the first of the week. termed

The storm the first of the week, termed
a West India hurricane, prevailed gener-
ally along the Atlantic seaboard, being
the most destructive on the New Jersey
and New England coasts. The wind
attained a velocity of eighty miles an
hour. Great destruction was caused at
Atlantic City, along the board walk, and
the meadows were overlooked, so that no
trains reached or left the city for a day OF
two. Great damage was also caused at
Ocean Grove, Asbury Park and Long
Branch, the piers and board walks being
demolished. Not 80 much disaster is
reported to shipping as during some other
storms, as warning was given of the
approach of the storm by the Weather
Bureau SO that ample precautions could
be taken. In this section there has been
considerable rain and wind, but nc
damage from either. We are a favored
community.

Signal Notes.

Friends and co-workers will be glad to
know that, after her long, self-imposed
and arduous labors, Mrs. Mary H. Hunt,
life director of the National Education
Association, International superintendent
of scientific tenn perance instruction, and
editor of the School Physiology Journal, is
now enjoying q few days rest at Sugar
Hill among the White Mountains. Her
address at. Ocean Grove in July was
received with the closest attention and
approval. In the report of that meeting
it was said that she was entitled to be
called ''the leading woman statesman" of
the great temperance reform.

A famous Londoner, who has recently
made the world trip, says the American
spirit come to a head in Chicago and
San Francisco; they are eager and great.
Boston, in his opinion, is "stilted and
conventional" lives upon the past and
initiates Eng land in its manner, speech
and in others particulars. New York is
a great heterogeneous hurry. burly, largely
European, but Chicago has the true
western flavor and San Francisco the
breath of the Sierras.

Ex-senator Winton, chairman of the
gold Democratic State Committee, says
that Palmer and Buckner will poll at
least 5000 votes in the State and the
number would be much larger only that
thousands of Democrats had concluded
to vote for Mckinley and Hobart before
the indianapolis Convention was held.
Mr.. Winton says that the National DEM
ocratio ticket will receive /, 500 votes In
Hudson, 1900 in Essex. 500 in Bergen,
and will do nearly as well in proportion
to the Democratic voting strength in
other counties of the State.

Senator Quay has given out a statement
that the Republicans already have the
election won, and will hold it. He
claims, and it is the Judgment of the
Republican executive committee, after a
careful survey of the field, that Mckinley
and Hobart will receive 270 electoral
votes, and Bryan ITO, leeving 81 electoral
votes doubtful. The Bryan people have
practically given up the East, and the
middle West, the real battle ground, is
to the effect that the sound money cause
is making heavy inroads on the free silver
craze. Prediction estimates are not
often very reliable, bat a leader with the
experience of Senator Quay has oppor-
~tunities for forecasting the result that
entitle his predictions to some weight.

His application was "for the future

granted, as it should have been, and, as
our contemporary remarks, it is to be
