EXCEPTIONALLY HIGH TIDES.
Momauguin Pier Destroyed Man

Momauguin Pier Destroyed Many Boats Washed Ashore. The tides for the past week have been unusually high and low but yesterday afternoon was a record breaker for a high tide. All along the shore comes the report of the water doing more or less damage by running up much higher than several years past.
 At the Moinauguin the fine pier which was recently built and has been a source Of much accommodation, was torn entirely away. The wood was dashed on the shore and some of the debris carried way upon the green. The water even found it's way into the basement of the hotel, but did little damage.
 fine steam launch owned by Abner Hendee. the well known local feed man, who is residing at Cosey Beach, was anchored out some distance from shore. When the tide began to come in, the anchor was loosened and dragged So that the launch was washed up on shore. It fortunately came up inlrne- diately in front of the Momauguin, where the shore is very sandy, and was not badly damaged. A number of men endeavored to get the craft off the beach but they were last night upsuc- cessful It is thought that the boat will be pulled off her high abiding place when the tide is high this morning. Many other small craft were washed ashore. but none Of them are reported as being badly damaged

DEATH WAS ACCIDENTAL.
Coroner Mix completes Inquest in. Au

Coroner Mix Completes Inquest m Au-
 tomobile Case.
 Coroner Mix yesterday morning an- nounced that he had completed his in quest into the death of three-and-one- half-year-oId Katherine Belleca, killed last Monday by an automobile driven by William H. Richards, of 54 Kensing- ton street.
 q find that the death was entirely accidental said Coroner Mix yesterday morning. Richards was not driving his machine at excess speed or at even
 high rate within the limit of the city ordinance. The child dove in front of the machine when it was exactly oppo- site her. and there was no possible way in which the machine could have been stopped, even though it was going slow ly."
 I The evidence in the case heard at the inquest shows that the little girl was standing in the gutter when the ma chine approached As it came up she took step forward, whereupon Sar- gent and Smith, who were on the front of the auto, shouted to her. She stepped back and then deliberately started across in front of the machine, running | into the front wheel of the vehicle. All of her playmates who witnessed the af- | fair testified at the inquest and the tes- | timony of each was corroborated by that of the others.
 The automobile that killed the child was Stevens -Duryea, of the horseless carriage rather than the heavy touring lear type. It is the property of Colonel Frank Bigelow. son of the late Cover nor Bigelow, who was not in it at the | nor BigeloW, who was not in it at the time. The four occupants of the auto at the accident were all employees of the BigeloW company, and were returning home from the factory in Fair Haven. when the accident, the first fatility of it's kind in New Haven this year, oc- cured
 William H. Richards acts as Colonel Bigelow's chauffeur. The other passen- gers were all young men-Starr Bar mum, son of George F. Barnum, secre- tary and treasurer of.the Bigelow com pany; William F. Sargent and Curtiss F. Smith.
 It was reported that two of the pas SoH6ct S VI lilS dulO, #AiGSSIS. boiIlltllf dilu Sargent, ran away On the contrary, they rendered all the aid in their power in the sad case, going to the nearest drug store and telephoning to Dr.; Rob- erts, who arrived too find the little girl dead After this they remained for a half hour at the scene of the accident, and, finding that they could do nothing further, took the car home.
