Off Long Island

Off Long Island
NEW YORK, Nov. 2S-Points in Eastern
Long Island which have been cut off from
railroad communication with this city since
saturdays storm are still without train
service, and the present prospect is that the
tracks will not be cleared until tomorrow.
The towns in Suffolk county, east of Baby
Ion, have had no train service since Friday
evening. The Montauli line of the Long
Island Railway is open to Babylon. From
Babylon to Greenport, distance of about
fifty miles, no train is running and none is
promised by the railroad before tonight at
| the earliest. There ARE two trains stuck in
snow drifts. Both were eastbound and were
canght on Saturday night. One ia on the
Montauk division between Babylon and
lsip. The other is on the mainland, and
when last heard of was at Farmingdale.
There were but few passengers and the rail-
road officials had them cared for in hotels.
The railroad cuts about the Shinnecock hills
are reported to have ten feet of snow in
them.
The storm was felt far out at sea- Many of
the regular liners and steamers which were
due early Sunday morning failed to arrive
on time, being obliged to keep at sea until
the storm abated.
The French liner La Tourane first en-
countered the storm on November 25 but
came along steadily until the night of the
26th, when the snow and wind became so
binding that at distance of seventy miles
from port the vessel was slowed down and
barely held her way. This was continued
until Oils pm. The vessel was anchored
outside the bar.
The Furnessa had to face the gale, as did
the Thingvalla; the latter reported the
strength OF the gale as IL, the highest the
Beaufort scale gives. Both, however, came
along without any difficulty, as they were
running near the end Of the storm.
Trains from the West on all lines enter
ing Jersey City are from l to hours late
This is true of the Pennsylvania, the Le
high Valley, the Baltimore g. Ohio, and the
Erie.
The train from Boston by the New York,
N. II. and II. Railroad, due here at am,
yesterday reached the Grand Central depot
twenty-five hours late. The passengers suf
fered greatly from cold and hunger.
A small topmast schooner is sunk just
east of Barkers' Bluff, L. l. She is Aose in
shore and well out of the water at low tide,

Snowbound Sheen

TACOMA, Wash, Nov. 2S.-Thousands of
pendleton, Or. Three feet of snow has
fallen in the foothills there and the sheep
cannot get through it to the valleys below.
This situation results from the fact that
sheep men have kept their sheep on the
mountain ranges as long as possible on ac-
count Of the dryness and the lack of grass
outside. Unless Chinook winds blow and
melt the snow sheep men will be unable to
bring their sheep out without heavy loss.

BOSTON, Nov. 2S.--It is known definite
ly tonight that more than seventy lives have
been lost in the wrecks OF tugs, schooners
and coal barges durin gthe storm OF Sat
urday night and Sunday morning and if the
steamer Portland has also gone down, as now
seems possible, the list of casualties will rise
to l40, with over 100 vessels of all descrip-
lions ashore, two-score of them total wrecks
and an unknown number probably beneath
the waves of Massachusetts, bay. There is
scarcely a bay, harbor or inlet from Penob-
scot to New London that has not on its
shores the bones OF some staunch craft,
while alpl along Massachusetts bay, and es-
pecially Boston harbor, the beaches are
piled high with the wreckage of schooners
and coal barges. The record, although
hourly lengthening, is still incomplete, for
that ocean graveyard OF Cape Cod is still
to be heard from.

railroad and street car embargo covering the
whole OF southern New England sunk into
insigniiicance before the story of destruction
wrought by wind and wave, yet it will be
many day before the full import of the dis
aster is known or even realized. The islands

barges known to have been between Cape
Cod and Boston are unaecounted for and
probably are lost. The upper harbors OF
Boston, Plymouth, Salem, Portsmouth,
Portland and other places where vessels
were supposed to be comparatively safe
were the scenes of numerous collisions be-
tween the ships and the wharves.
Every life-saving crew performed deeds of
heroism in rescung crews from stranded
vessels and tugboat captains risked life and
property in their endeavor to save life.

All Hands Lost

SClTUATE, Mass, Nov 2s.-The big
pilot boat Columbia of Boston is piled up
on top of wrecked cottage, broadside on,
dismastcd and total wreck, on the beach
here. 1t is feared that all ON board were
lost. One body, that of man apparently
80 years old, was found in the hold, but
diligent search failed to show any others.
1t is thought that the craft was beached
about noon, though none of the beach resi-.
dents saw her strike. She was in charge of
Boat Keeper Henry Peterson, with crew
OF three men before the mast and a steward,
and had taken the outer station early last
week with several pilots on board. Peterson
was returning to this port with the Column
bin after putting Captain Abbott on board
the Ohio, which dragged ashore on Spectacle
island.
Mrs. Wilbur of Rainham was drowned
here on Sunday while trying to escape from
her summer cottage Her body was washed
ashore and picked up in the street.

large barge at Ahumacock beach. It is
thought to BIZ the derelict J.. Tenney of
Boston. No trace of the crew has been
found

LITTLE TINY TOES.

When the Shadow Giant
Comes across the land,
Dropping seeds of slumber
From his dewy hand,
Then the household darling,
Little Tiny Toes,
Cries in winning accents,
AS to bed she goes,
Ere the slumber blossoms
All about her creep:
'STum an tiss me, mamma;
Den nell so to s'eep.'
Pretty little sly-boots,
Though she calmly lies,
She's not always sleeping
When she shuts her eyes.
Mamma may have kissed her
Many times before,
Yet you'll hear her pleading,
While her eyes once more
Through half-lifted eyelids
Ger the bedclothes peep:
"Tum an tiss me, mamma;
Den nell so to s'eep."
So the household darling,
Little Tiny Toes,
Fights the Shadow Giant
Ere she finds repose:
AS the tranquil twilight
Slowly disappears,
Pleads for goodnight kisses.
In the mothers ears
Sweet, all, sweet! the drowsy
Nestling's parting cheep:
"Tum an tiss me, mamma;
Den nell go TO s'eep."

The lusty orators who are forever
telling us how much we are oppressed
ought to be sent to Russia to have
a taste Of real oppression. Not long
ago, at Moscow, a volume was published
which contained some paragraphs in
favor of the people, and the author was
promptly arrested and the book SUI
pressed. The author was tried in a
summary way, and condemnedto eat his
own words. A scaffold was erected in
Il public square, and the imperial pro-
vost, the magistrates and the physicians
of the car were present. The book was
separated from the binding, and the
margin cut off. The author was then
served leaf by leaf by the provost, and
was obliged to swallow this unpalat-
able stuff on pain of the lnout, AS
soon as the medical gentlemen were OF
the opinion that he had eaten as much
as he could with safety, the unlucky
author was returned to prison. The
punishment was renewed until, after
several hearty meals, every leaf OF the
book was actually Standardization

There is a little Piety Hill girl who is
devout in her religious observances, and
opens each days campaign of her busy
young life with the Lords prayer. The
other morning, after repeating "give us
this day our daily bread" she hesitated
for a moment, as if in doubt, and then
departed from the text to say: can,
o Lord, ifs jus 'venient as not, we pray
Thee to make it gingerbread" conclud-

might not. be shaken. she had a good
deal more gingerbread that day than
was good for her, but sine received a
very imperative warning that the
prayer must lie repeated as it had been
taught her, for the Lord did not think
it right that little girls should have too
much sweets. Since that she has been
going into her closet to pray and the
mother is haunted with It fear that her
