Soldiers tn the Rescue Of .Ammunition-
Death's Boom on Goodwin Sands.
At Liverpool the squalls blew OF the
roofs Of several houses, threw down
chimneys and tore up trees. The Mer.
sey flooded its banks on the Chester side
and deluged the shore district for miles.
Similar disasters occurred at Holyhead,
sunk at their moorings Scarcely a ves-
tige remains of the wreck Of Lord Nell
sons old flagship. the Foudroyant, long
fast In the sands OF Blackpool The
scenes at such popular resorts as Yar-
mouth and Margate were of great gran
deur. but the damage done was enor-
nous. Tremendous seas still invade the
gardens Of the hotels and residences,
wrecking the parades and buildings,
while much debris Is floating about.
Immense damage has been done to
the government property at the Sheer
ness dock yard and the Woolwich ar
senal. Seven thousand troops were
hurriedly ordered out yesterday to re-
move thousands Of pounds worth of
ammunition and stores from the
wharves and sheds to places Of safety.
The tide continued to rise and invaded
almost all its workshops, quenched
the engine fires and stopped
the electric lights. The workmen were
obliged to go home. wading knee deep.
Despite all the precautions damage to
the amount Of many thousands of
pounds has been done. At Sheerness
and Greensboro, two miles away, hun
dreds Of acres have been submerged,
scores Of cellars flooded and 200 yards
Of the Sheerness pier have been swep,
away.
The boom Of distress from Goodwin
sands has been almost continuous. Be.
low London bridge the low lying houses
and cellars are flooded and all work ID
temporarily suspended along the Thames
even as high as Charing Cross. The
continual rising OF the river is looked
upon as ominous, though as yet M
damage has been done above London
bridge. Six vessels were wrecked be.
tween Yarmouth and Bacton, only 9
few miles apart on the Norfolk coast
and twenty-five lives lost.

There are portions Of the north Of Ire-
land where nature assumes grand and
Wild aspect. On the coast Of Antrim
there is no ormistice in the furious bat
Tie that, since the first ages Of the ter-
restrial globe, was engaged between the
waves and the rocks. Columns Of basalt
like gigantic sentinels, stand on guard
to resist the invasion Of the ocean, and
the profound excavations made under
the granite rocks that protect this por-
tion Of the soil Of La Verte Erin prove
that the waves must have frequently
made most vigorous onslaughts and only
retired after they had mined Q land
which they could not conquer.
It is not difficult to imagine that this
majestic and des0late site should have
seduced one Of the vanquished ones in
life, one who had absolutely decided to
separate himself from the society Of
man. The real hermits are becoming
more and more rare-indeed. it was be-
lieved that they had completely disap-
peared-but if q vocation for that singu-
larly abandoned profession could still
be felt by any one it might be in the
presence Of the marvellous spectacle Of
that sea whose waves never subside, Of
those grottos whose pillars and vaults
possess q power which the art Of the
architect can never equal. Nature her
self seems to have created in those rocks
. refuge for the shipwrecked, for the
prescribed and perhaps also for those
who despise the vanities Of life.
About ten years ago a mysterious in.
dividual made his home in the grottoes
Of the coast of Antrim. The approach
Of any human being seemed to inspire
him with an invincible repugnance. As
soon as the cavern which he had select
editor his refuge was discovered by the
fishermen of the neighborhood he imme-
dately disappeared and took up his
quarters 30 or 80 kilometers farther on
in another retreat which appeared more
inaccessible. For a few months his

THE FIRST STEP.

As will be seen in our local columns, the
first step towards crystalizng sentiment in
Cecil county against the local stigma of
race track gambling, and making it effect
i've in the selection of Legislative repre-
sentativcs vino will respect that sentiment,
was held in Elkton ON Thursday.
The opinion SO emphatically expressed
by ex-senator Writ, that tine sentiment of
the county was overwhelmingly against
race track gambling in every form, and
which was so sucginctly formulated in the
resolution offered by Mr.. Constable, was
shared by every one present at the meeting.
Every impulse OF honorable Maryland
manhood, resentg the nllction of outawed
racing upol her soil. and the debauchery
and decentralization incident thereto.
The petty plea, that money is fair
consideration for the injury and wrong
inflicted upon our community, by making
Cecil county the habitual resort of gam
blers and sharpers who thrive upon the
profits of the race track, is slenced in the
indignant protest of her people against this
palpable wrong.
At the earliest opportunity they will
end it.

NEWSPAPER ENTERPRISE RE-
ELECTED IN THE STORY
OF A FICTITIOUS EN-
COUNTER.

The dearth of political news, and the
excellent, not to say humorous illustration,
III the newspaper Importance given an
alleged stormy interview which took place
very recently between two gentlemen, both
of whom have figured conspicuously in
Maryland politics-,ludge Louis L. Me
C0mas, of Washington, and Congressman
George h. Wellington.
The personal rivalry which may have
once existed between these gentlemen, in
the Republican politics of the Sixth Con-
grcssional District, doubtless has given
additional color to the published account
of their recent Washington encounter p,
but since both gentlemen have studiously
denied the belligerent character of their
interview, certainly upon the assumption
that they best know what really did occur
between them, we are to accept their state
ments as final, that the published account
of their bclligerent meeting, was Il pure
Pigment of the brain OF too enterprisiny
newspaper reporter.
Assuming then that no such tempestuou-
meeting occurred between these gentlemen
and which assumption is fortified by the
positive assertions of both Of them, as wei!
as the presumption of dignity and personal
decorum that are supposed to hedge about
the p..sDnS Of a Judge and Senator, the
marvel is, how much enterprising city
daily newspapers can make out OF nothing,
and what mountain of public gossipis
born Of the labor of little newspaper
mouse.
On Saturday last, that bright evening
daily the Baltimore NcmS, started the
sensational ball, in an article with these
scare head lines;
