Much Damage to Fine Trees
by Wlnd-Rev. Mr.. Chrlsty
to Speak Other Matters.

The high southeasterly gale attained
the propositions OF gale creating very
heavy sea in the harbor and causing
many boats to drag their anchors. In
all parts of the town the streets are
covered with broken limbs and branches
OF trees.
At the factory OF the Byfeld Rubber
company about 40 feet OF the smokestack
was blown of. In front OF the post
office two large limbs OF a horse chest
nut tree were blown of, one OF them
taking the electric hight wire with It.
Several trees were blown down on the
grounds of the Linden place. The ma
jestic elms seemed but trifes before the
force OF the wind and bent TO and fro
as though they would fall at any mo-
ment. At intervals the rain came down
In torrents.
The electric current was shut OF dur
ing the forenoon caused by large tree
falling across the wires at Maxhelds
corner, harrington. About noon the
heavy wind uprooted large elm on the
west side OF High street. just south OF
Court street. falling upon the roof OF
dwelling house and leaning partially
upon another tree. Four trees were up
rooted on High street In front OF the
Congregational church. one OF them
rested on the Suburban electric car wire
so that the cars could not pass that
point.
On Bristol Neck opposite the Gibson
homestead, a large tree was blown over
on a field OF onions owned by N N Cole.
thrilling experience was that whs,h
occurred TO two sailors in the harbor and
they were watched with much interest
by the people along the water front. A

and many thought that they were taking
big chances for their lives A sloop be-
longing to Frank Pardee broke away
from its moorings OF the Pardee place,
south of Walkers island and went up TO
the harbor at n fearful clip. Two sail
ors from one OF the yachts at Walkers
cove put off in a small boat and before
they had reached the sloop their light
craft was swamped.
BY swimming they managed TO get on
board OF the sloop William Finley, put
of TO them In a skin and captured their
boat, and later reached the sloop and
took the men OF. The sloop was towed
to the steamboat wharf and the men
came ashore in the yawl. AS a Subur-
ban car was entering town a large tree
fell across the track before IT, The car
was compelled 10 wait until the tree
could be removed. Many people say
that nothing has happened OF SO serious
a nature TO the streets since the Septem-
Der gale OF 1869, which uprooted many
elms.
