rest of the structure weakened. 1t is
feared that it will all yet be washed
away. The waves swept over the
pavilion, carrying small building
that was used for an oyster saloon
and lOosening the floor of the pa
vilion.
The approach to the Boardwalk
at the upper end was broken through
by the waves.
A large part of the wreckage from
the yachtsmen' IS wharf drifted against
Young's ocean pier, knocking down
the steamboat landing and carrying
away some $50 feet of the pier deck.
The outer end OF the Texas avenue
pier succumbed to the storm and
fioated down the beach. The loose
planks and piling washed up against
the supports of the Boardwalk in
Chelsea knocked a hole in the walk.
The waves finished the work and the
walk was knocked down for about
six blocks. The new steel walk did
not sustain the slightest damage.
Through the city the wind did con-
siderable damage. Chimneys were
blown down, trees uproOted and
roofs taken off. Buildings in course
of erection suffered severely. A new
house at the upper end of Atlantic
avenue was blown over and reduced
to kindling wood. Four brick
houses that were being built on the
Moore tract undermined and fell to
the ground. The walls of some
brick stores on Arctic avenue We're
SO badly washed that they will
probably have to be torn down. 1t
will require several thousands Oi
dollars to repair the havoc.
Some of the damages are MOOre's
three cottages, $500; Guthrie's cot
tage, $500; six squares of Board
walk, $4,000; Inlet pavilion, $1,000;
yachtsmen's wharf, $1,000; Sacred
Heart College bulkhead, $500; jetties
torn out, $1,000.
The railroad beds are damaged to
the extent of many thousand dollars
but it is impossible to estimate the
exact amount.
There were many narrow escapes
from drowning and many frightened
people when the tide rose to such an
alarming height.
The storm swept the coast for sew
eral hundred miles with great fury,
and it is feared that there have been
many serious marine disasters-that
will be heard of later ON.
AS we go to press, Tuesday even
ing, the wind is still fresh from the
northeast, and the prospect of a
night tide high enough to inuudate
the meadows and Turnpike.

A Hint to "Henfarmer.n

To the Editor of the Pleasantville PRESS;
Please allow me space in your paper

That he procure Hart's Composition
and Rhetoric and use his valuable time
in studying Pages 1O4 to 145.
As the impression seemed to be general
that he, in his first article on the school
system, was rejecting on the Saluta-
torian and his last article he states
that he is too much hurried to arrange
his facts in logical order. A TEACHER.
