STRONG WEST WIND.
Yesterdays Storm a
Severe One.
A DOwnpOur Of Rain With Thun-
der and Hail.
Loss To Shipping Was
Small.
One Barge Lost Without Loss Of
Life.

Boston, November 9.-From all parts OF
New England ami from even a greater
area came reports today of extremely IN
seasonable weather and storm OF sur
prising strength and varying elements.
In southern New England generally, this
morning, "a tremendous downpour of rain
was accompanied by electrical flashes vi
brating thunder and much hail. Along
the coast, the high course of tides made a
disagreeable combination and left much
wreck as a souvenir of an unexpected
aerial disturbance. The storm did not
intiict such heavy loss to shipping and
property which might have been expected
from its seeming violence. The hail shat
tered great quantities OF window glass,
the-wind tore OIL limbs OF trees, carried
away lightly fastened distractions In Its
path and crippled wire communication,
but there was no loss of life.
The wind being generally from the
westerly did not give mariners lee
shore, and what vessels vera caught out
in 1t had plenty OF SEQ room in which to
weather the blow. In Vineyard and Long
Island Sounds, however, whore there Is
always danger in navigation, vessels
crews were In trying positions owing to
the frequent shifts OF the wind. One
barge was lost in the sound, but without
loss Of life.
AT Bristol, X l., Cornelius Wander
bilt's 70.footer Rainbow went ashore, but
her condition is not serious, and 1t Is
likely that she viii be fioated before DAM
age is done to her hull. From Woods Hole
to Eastport, Maine, coastwiss craft as a
rule, held to their aachorages OF yester-
day. The United States steamer Vioks-
burg which is bound from Boston to Chi.
nese waters, was unable TO put to sea and
stopped at quarantine. The storm, how
ever, did not prevent the great ocean
liner Com monwealth from coming In
from Queenstown and the provincial
steamers ran as usual.

ORATORY UNDER DIFFICULT
TIES.
Comgressman Smith Addresses COnstit.
acnts While Glued TO Chair

The meanest scalawag in Michigan
lives over In Augusta township, Wash.
tenaW county, and we'll proceed to prove
1t, says the Grass Lake (Mioh.) News
Hank Smith was billed to spsak at a
schoolhouse near Whitoomb, when Re-
publican club was to be organized, The
room was damned full, OF men, women
and children, A little platform had been
temporarily arranged for the orator of the
evening, surmounted by a single chair
the seat of which some miscreant had
covered with fresh glue. In this chair,
to which he was conducted, Hank" sat
down, not knowing it was loaded. Mean
time, the burgherS proceeded with their
work, and an hour was consumed before
the officers were elected and the job
finished. The new president then stepped
forward and introduced 1.-THE present and
the next Congressman OF this district,
the Hon. Henry &. Smith OF Adrian
Mr.. Smith got up and so did the chair.
He tried to shake it of by hip wriggle.
This failed. He reached down and tried
to pry 1t OF with his fingers, but without
success. He pulled sturdily at the rear
to force 1t to let go, but it wouldn do
anything of the kind. He now smelt a
rodent. The president, seeing, his predic.
ament, stepped up and gave the thing
such a tug that Smith in alarm, but in
an undertone, said
f'Hold on, Ferguson you'll tear the
cloth away, and you can see my coat is
a short sack, and there are ladies pres
ent."
The audience now tumbled to the stu
alton, and instantly burst into thunder
ing outlaws. The room became a bedIam
OF 1au ter-convulsed lunatios. Women
screamed and children whooped while
the able bodied men lay down on the
benches and roared. The hiiarity was
catching, ana soon Hank, genial-hearted
and fun-loving as he was, sat down,
leaned back and joined the deafening
chorus. Finally, waving his hand, the
crowd became sufficiently quiet to hear
him say: II came here to speak my
piece, and I'll do 1t, though the whole
schoolhouse were glued to me-" Then
he got up again, and, half bent over,
with the chair dangling behind, waded
In. At every motion he made the chair
would bump up and down on the floor or
swing against the wall, or strike the
table holding the lamp. Or course, the
crowd laughed when he loked and
laughed when he didn't joke. At last
the speaker said:
Ladies and gentlemen, I must rest
My back Is about broken" and sat down.
AT this an old fellow ran out, and, trot-
ting across the way to his house, brought
over pair Of overalls. Hank" was
stead1ed of the platform amid renewed
yells of laughter. and. with a man hold
ing the chair away from his calves, wad-
died out doors, where he was .'un-
husked.'' He finished his speech in the
overalls
