age and Had the Storm Con-
tinued IL Hours the City Would
Have Been Ruined

New York, Nov. %. = Reports of the
damage done by the storm of Saturday
night and Sunday continue to come in.
There are not many new facts coming to
light, but the details from points on the
Jersey coast and the upper shore of Long
Island Sound show that the destruction
was widespread and the monetary loss
much heavier than first supposed
Long Branch reports tonight show that
hardly a building there escaped some
damage 1t is figured that if the storm
had lasted another IL hours the result
would have been a ruined city.
An instance of the great force OF the
wind is shown by plank from the roof
of the pavilion on the shore end of the
pier This plank is about 20 feet long,
seven inches wide and two thick. 1t was
torn from the roof and appended appar-
emily whirled into the air and clear
Lenox Hotel end on 1t was driven into
the side of the building to depth of four
or five feet at a height between the sec
ond and third stories. 1t still sticks out
OF the wall.
The wreck of the tug Haddon at Long
Branch is complete. But almost as
staunch as the day she was Launched the
ship Flottbek stands almost upright in
the sand. Considerable work was done on
her today. She will be unloaded as she
wreckers are getting ready to kedge her
out into deep water
The Long Branch Railroad got one
track into working order today and re-
sumed traffic to New York. The big
washout at Morgan's was repaired. The
Southern Railroad has not yet gotten its
track in order, and all travel to Seabright
and vicinity is cut off.
On Long Island many portions of the
Long Island Railroad tracks are still
submerged Besides the loss resulting
from stoppage of traffic, it will take many
thousands of dollars to repair the breaks.
Temporary repairs are being made as
fast as possible. Huntington, l.. L., suf-
fered most severely, yachts and boat
houses having been swept away, while
piers went out to sea by the hundred In
that vicinity.
The wealthy New Workers who have
summer houses on the upper shore of the
sound visited them today, to find wreck
and ruin in all directions The shore i'm
provements are destroyed, the fine shade
trees and the extensive lawns, and sand
and wreckage are piled up everywhere:
Reports still come in from points In New
Jersey, on Staten Island Sound and the
surrounding inland waters. 1t will take
days to figure out the loss.

LITERARY NOTES

Lillian Whiting, author of THE
World Beautiful in Books" writes:
TT would, l suppose, be indiscreet to
divulge the real name that is hidden
pnder the nom de plume of Clinton
Dangerfield,' but that America has a
poet-a ned poet, real poet-in this
Individual (1ndividual is safe and
nom commital, is 1t not?) is fact that
will soon be generally recognized. But
1 shall indulge myself in one revela-
ton. The little book called Behind the

peared anonymously from the Little

NEW BEACON BIOGRAPHIES.
The new volumes which Messrs.
Small, Maynard & Company are add
ing to their Beacon Biographies this
autumn promise to be unusually val
liable and interesting. The first to APP
pear will be Mr.. Schouler's Life of
Alexander Hamilton, a subject which
must have been particularly accepta-
BILE to the. eminent historian, and which
seems to be happily timed as to its
appearance. With Mrs. Atherton's new
novel based upon the life of Hamil-
ton, and the interest which Blenner-
hasset is awaking among the great
mass of readerss of fiction 1t would
seem quite possible that the Hamilton
revival, which has recently been pre-
dicted is at hand.
A notable Life Of Longfellow by
Prof. George r. Carpenter of Column
bia, Is to be published on the same
date as the Hamilton. A good Life Of
Longfellow in brief.
The third volume of the new Beacon
Biographies will be the Life of Edwin
Booth, by Mr.. Charles Townsend Cope
land, critic. lecturer, and editor Of
Letters of Thomas Carlyle.
The fourth new volume is a life of
Samuel Finley Breese Morse, written
by John Trowbridge, Rumford Profess
sor of Physics, Harvard University.
which tells the remarkable history of
the great American, who after spending
half his life as an artist, suddenly be-
came famous to the world by the in
vehtion which has perhaps done more
to revolutionize the history of the
world and it's business methods than
any other achievement of the human
intelligence.
The authors reputation as a scien-
fist will give great weight to his deci
sion as to how far Morse was entitled
to the credit of the invention Of the
telegraph. And, while his opinion on
the point may be attacked by some
jealous partisans Of Morse, 1t will be
apparent to the unprejudiced reader
that he has been entirely just to the
subject Of his volume.

Alfred Ouilette, until a month ago

missing from Worcester and his friends
hold strongly to the belief that some
injury must have befallen him. He
was always considered steady and in
dustrious until month ago when he
suddenly dropped out of sight without
saying word to anyone or taking
any Of his belongings with him.
Yesterday Mr.. Warren called at Sta
ton an dleft description of Ouilette
with Sergt. George H. Hill. Mr. War
rem asked the sergeant to do what he
could TO get trace of the missing man.

that the form of the compensation
does not matter SO much as its sub
stance. The list of amounts of property
in Clinton seized by the Water Board
are in the possession of the town and
have been laid before the commission.
A tax levied on the total sum at the
rate for Clinton this year would yield
$4,000. Clinton would be satisfied with
a perpetual annuity of $4,000, al
though that is a less sum than the
right of taxation demanded by Senator
ingalls, would give.
Assistant District Attorney James
Mott Hallowel has outlined the de-
fence he will make for the Water
Board. He will claim THAI the damage
suffered by Holden is the result pure
ly of uncertainty regarding what is to
be done, and that it will vanish when
the water works are finished. He will
claim that Sterling mill sites have not
been and will not be affected, and that
no restrictions will be placed on the
use of the waters of the town. He will
not deny the loss of market, but will
claim that Sterling ought not to be
compensated for that.
He will claim that Clinton has been
benefited, instead of damaged as fol-
lows: The taking of land has increased
the revenues of the town. the amount
of water power is increased, the in
come of the water department of the
town has increased, the rights of Clin-
ton to take water from the proposed
reservoir are valuable the town gets
an increase of revenue from the taxa
tion Of water power the dam and the
dixie will be scientifically safe and
nothing can happen to them; q large
sum Of money has been spent in Clin-
ton by the Water Board and its en-
ployes; manufacturing has been in
creased and will continue to be in
creased; liberal payments have been
made to individuals to settle claims,
better sewerage facilities have been
given the town. the town will be bene-
fitted by the more central location of
the Massachusetts Central Railroad:
Lancaster Mills Pond win be filled and
the people will have a place where
they can boat, fish and bathe.
The principal witness for the state
will be Chief Engineer F. P. Stearns,
who has assembled a vast accumula-
ton of figures and statistics.

THE BILL PROVIDING
AID TO IRRIGATION

washington, Dec. 15.-The committee
OF Il senators and members of the
House, appointed by the full congress
sionai representation from the Western
ard land states to draft a bill provfd-
ing for national aid to irrigation. has
completed the bill it was author
lzed to frame, but it viii not be intro
uuced IN either House of Congress un-
III after the Christmas holidays.
Ihe bill embodies some of the provis-
IONS Of both the Shafroth and the
Observation-Disclosures bills. Its CEN
tral idea is the devotion of the pro-
ceeds OF the sale of the public lands to
the reclamation of those lands. 1t also
increases the price of the public
lands to be benefited by the proposed
irrigation enterprises so as to make
settlers pay part of the cost of con-
StruCtiOn.
After construction. the lands to be
irrigated are to be subject TO home
stead entry in areas not extending so
acres upon the entrymans paying s.
per acre to the reclamation fund. This
fund Is to be used for the operation
and maintenance of reservoirs ad irri-
cation works until payments for the
land settled upon are made, when all
the irrigation works except the reser-
Nolrs shall be turned over to the set
tiers. who are required as a body cor
porate to operate and maintain them
The bill also provides that in the
event that there is sufficient water for
public and private lands. water rights
may be sold for the irrigation of pri-
Nate lands al price ofrnot less than
50 per acre. Power to make general
rules and regulations is vested in the
secretary of the interior
