Grover ploughed into the Michigan. tearing her
from her fastenings and holding her fast. There
was great excitement aboard the vessel.
The collision was unexpected, and the crew were
demoralized. Splinters and ribs and flooring
Of the decks flew and the air was full of debris.
Commander Winder OF the Michigan estimates
the damage at $4,000. This includes the ruin
ing of two 6-pound Driggs-Schroeder rapid fire
guns of an improved pattern. and a whalebOat
valued at S400. Commander Winder at once
wired to the Navy Department at Washington.
He says that the ship will be out Of commission

THE STORM

Last Friday, the storm which

about on schedule time, and
caused considerable damage, par
ticularly to shade and fruit trees.
The electric light plant was par
TALLY disabled owing to the wires
being broken by falling trees.
Some parts of the town reminded
one Of the photographs taken
after the Galveston flood. Not
much effort was made to clean
up until Monday, and then it was
found that the lackness in clean
ing the previous snow off the
sidewalks and not opening the
cutters was responsible for a
great deal of trouble, such as
water in cellars, and the cross

Now that the work is completed
