New York, Sept. 17.-Following We'd nesdays story came another severe storm to-day. In New York the wind blew at the rate of sixty-seven miles an hour, which was stronger than yester- days gale. The damage was not so widespread, however, because the storm did not last so long.
 Fishing schooners that arrived to-day brought tales of disasters from all along the coast. At least half dozen men were drowned from these boats, and it is feared that many more met simi- lar sate. Several schooners are miss ing, some oe which are known to have foundered. Eight smacks which form ed part of the fleet overtaken by the hurricane at Five Fathorn Bank ar rived to-day, but the Sunshine, Daisy, Mercedes, Gaffney. Emily F. Wright, Orient and Lillian Fernald are yet to be heard from.
 Among tSe men who were drowned were Captain John C. Morgan and Fish, erman Ned Petersen of the schooner M, A. Baston and Captain Silas Latham and Fisherman Peter Barr and Lewis Wilcox of the schooner Esther and An ita. Both Captain Morgan and Captain Latham hail from Noank, Conn.
 During the height of the storm, one of the U. s. s. Chicago carrying the paymaster, an engineer and four men put off from shore at Tornpkinsville, s. I. Out in the stream the launch was swamped and all the men went over board. The paymaster had with him a satchel containing $27,0O0. but according to regulations it was attached to a buoy. The lighthouse tender Daisy put out from shore and saved the men when al- most exhausted and a boats crew sent out from the Chicago went in search of the money. which after long search was found.

 Portland Me. Sept. 17.-A storm of such intensity that it's parallel is not recorded in .he local weather bureaus statistics for any previous September, swept along the Maine coast early to- day leaving death and destruction in it's wake. Thus far fifteen deaths and two schooners totally wrecked as a direct result of the storm have been reported, dozens of vessels wholly or partly ex- posed to the gale were more or less ser iously damaged, hundreds of shade trees were dismembered and growing crops in the narrow path of the storm suffered severely.

Ed munds of Gloucester, Mass, and the Sadie and Lillie of Machias were cast upon the rocks of Pemaquid in hopeless Wrecks and fifteen of the nineteen men composing both crews lost their lives.
