GALE IN NEW YORK.

The wind blew sixty-two miles an hour In
New York and men, women and children
were literally lifted from their feet by the
force of the gale In several instances down
town heavily loaded trucks were overturned
Telegraphic communication was interrupted
in every direction, particularly along the
coast. Boatmen say they never knew tho
water to be so rough.
A claiming sloop was capsized by the
wind near Fort Hamilton. 1t contained three
men. A gig from the cruiser Columbia put
off to their assistance but before the sloop
reached it it was das he'd to pieces. One Of
the men sank and was picked up by the gig,
and the third was carried by the waves tothe
beach, where he was picked up unconscious.

FLOOD IN PHILADELPHIA.

Heavy rain for twenty-four hours caused
big rise in the Schuylkill and Delaware rly-
ers, and great damage resulted. The baro-
meter at o'clock had fallen to $3.50, the
lowest ever recorded at the weather bureau
in Philadelphia. The SchuyIkill river left its
banks. and three feet Of water covered the
tracks OF. the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad,
which runs along tho river bank, and the
first floor OF the Baltimore and Ohio station
at Twenty-fourth and Chestnut streets was
under two feet OF water This is the highest
water since May, 1894. The rising waters
overlooked the first floors OF a number OF
mills along the river bank at Manayunk, and
the employees were set to work removing
goods to the second floors. The water was
unto within few inches Of the engine-room
of the big gas works at Twenty-fourth and
Market streets. Nearly al the cellars on
Delaware avenue were flooded.
The rise is general in the rivers in the In
terror of Pennsylvania.

Wind Slxty-Eight Miles an hour IN
New York-A Building In BROOK
Ign Blown Down and Two
Men Killed.

Besides bringing on terrific thunder
storm, that would have done credit to sui
try July day, the storm broke two records In
Baltimore, and, incidentally, did enough
damage about the city and suburbs to insure
its memory remaining for some time. The
barometer fell to 1888 inches-the lowest
Baltimore has seen since the Weather bureau
was established. The total rainfall was 3.4S
inches The rainfall was accompanied by
strong wind, and this, with the floods OF
water poured upon the city. did considerable
damage. The storm played havoc with teie-
graph wires, washed out roads. damaged
sewers and made itself unpleasant In every
way. The heaviest part of the storm was be-
tween eleven and twelve o'clock in the morn-
ing. when streets were flooded from curb to
curb. Several times during the morning
flashes of lightning and crashes OF thunder
were heard. The mercury in the thermom-
eter went up as high as SO degrees. Inc
minimum was 80 degrees, and the average
was 46 degrees, which is ten degrees above
the normal for February.
A double brick dwelling two stories high,
on James street near Carey, Southwest Bal
timore. being erected by Harry Stevens, col
lapsed at noon, as result OF che heavy
storm. Water filed the cellar and Iwashed
away. the foundation. The crash consider
ably alarmed the neighborhood. The car
penters and bricklayers had almost finished
their work. Fortunately, no one was work
ing about the place at the time. The collapse
will entail loss of about $4,000.
:. The storm did considerable other damage
in Southwest Baltimore. The bank along
Frederick avenue between the old grist mil
and the lane leading to the House OF Refuge
was washed away in several places. At Ben
talue street and wilkins avenue sand was
washed over the tracks Of the City and Su'
burban Railway Company, delaying travel
for some time.
The high wind tore the roof from Heine-
kamp's piano factory. Barre and st. Pete

landed it on the tops of some private dwell

flooding would have been considerable. In

The Worst of 1t.

If the best of life, as it is said to be, is but
anticipation, the worst OF it is surely worry
and yexatioD. They are the plows and har-
rows that furrow the brow and cut deeply
into the nerves. 1t is constant plowing OF
this kind that tears up the nerve tissues
The greater nerves, like the bigger roofs,
may resist for time, but the ploughshare
gets down to them. Worry brings all sorts
of other ailments Of torn-up system ana AT
