 | The welcome announcement was made last night that the center of the storm area which wrought so much havoc ill this city and state would pass over be- fore morning and it is thought that there will be a general clearing up from now on and that sunlight will appear again soon.
 | Another storm both of wind and rain but of much less energy and leaving in it's track much less evidence of its fury passed over the city yesterday after noon and in a number of cases slight damage is reported. Several trees were blown over in various parts of the city and where some repairing had been done during the morning it was carried away second time. l The Consolidated road has succeeded in establishing train wires over DOT tion of the New York division, over the Shore Line; the Air Northampton the Hartford division, but on the Berk- shire and Naugatuck divisions nothing in the way of repairs has as yet been accomplished, but it is thought that at least some of the damage will have been repaired by tonight and there will then be a possibility of all trains being on time, if not retarded for other causes. The wind and rain of yester- day afternoon tore down a number of the wires which had been repaired and replaced after the storm Wednesday and this will necessitate going over the work again, and consequent delay in getting the lines in shape.
 Regardless of the condition of the wires, on all divisions the trains yes terday were on fairly good schedule time and it is thought that the service will be back to normal before to-day goes by. This is the aim of the officials of the company and they are giving the matter their very careful attention. Everything on the line of the Fair Haven & Westville road is again in | good working condition and the cars were running along yesterday as regu- larly as though there had never been Q storm. While there was considera- ble amount of damage it has all been repaired and all things are in first class 1 condition.
 1 Word was received yesterday after noon at 1 o'clock that the two masted schooner Ruth, with Captain Charles Wedmore, which left here for Block Island on Tuesday noon with party of fourteen New Haven trolieymen for a ten days cruise, and about whose I safety much alarm was felt, had put | into New London last night at 10 o'clock and that the boat and all mem bers of the party were safe and the men were stopping at the Colonial hotel, New London. They report a very | stormy passage but thanks are due to the skillful handling of the craft by the captain and also to the fact that she was seaworthy in every respect and easily outrode the terrific storm Among the members of the party are: Motor 1 man Max Snyder. and Conductors P. J. Donahue, Charles Molloy. Charles Scully, G. Bohan, J. Kinsella, James | Buke, Thomas King and Edward Law | ton.
 The board of public works state that ! the storm of Wednesday caused the greatest amount of damage of any in | the history Of the city. Trees are down | in all parts of the city and a number | of extra gangs of men have been busy since yesterday morning in an effort to clear up the debris and restore the l streets to their normal condition. The central green was largely cleared up of broken limbs of trees yesterday Men were sent in all dieretions about the ', city to chop up the fallen trees and cart them away and it is said that the expense necessary to do this work will use up all of the money In the fund for this work. It is thought that the city will lose $4,000 by the storm. Over seventy-five trees of all sizes were up- rooted and twisted off in various parts of the city.
 | Inspector Henry Hopkins of the lamp l department reports that 200 of the city's lamps were put out of business by the storm Work on repairing them was begun promptly. The mantles were blown out of some, the globes were smashed of others and some of the swinging electric lights were hurled about like balloons.
 The storm interrupted the mail ser vice to certain extent. The Westville and West Haven mails were late as we'll as those on the Northampton
 Berkshire and New York divisions of the New York. New Haven & Hart ford road. Everything will be on time again to-day.
 There was 8 report from the East shore yesterday afternoon saying that a three masted schooner, light, and two master loaded were trying to ride out the storm about a half mile east of the Branford beacon. just outside Browns reef. From the shore, the water ap- peared to be kicking up fierce waves l and the schooners appeared to be in grave danger but they were securely anchored and rode the storm out in | safety.
 | At Woodmont Hardy Merwin's horse sheds were carried 150 feet by the wind. G. W. GoodselPs sailboat was pounded to pieces on the shore. Chairs were l blown considerable distances in tbo
