Along the water front the waves were very high and atp Tomlin- sons and Chapel street drawbridges water dashed twenty feet or more in the air. Not many small craft ventured out and it is reported that Harry Leigh and Charles Rowe put in at Milford and came home by train. Many trees were blown down in various sections and at Railroad avenue a telegraph pole bearing several hundred wires snapped and fell across Grand avenue, l taking with 1t telephone, telegraph, trolley and electric light wires, thus blocking the Grand avenue line for hours and causing considerable incon- \ venience. At the corner of Grand ave- nue and Front, street portion of the | roof on Todd's block was blown off about o'clock and the clerks employed | in Warmers had a narrow escape from I falling brick. Captain Fred Linsley of | No. 5's engine house happened to be on | the corner when the tin fell to the street and he assisted a small gang of strong men 10 lassoo the mass with a rope and drag 1t to an open lot in the rear of Booths market. The damage to l the roof is not known but it is thought | that it will cost several dollars Co put I 1t in proper shape again.
