RIME OF THE ANCIENT GROCER.
MAN.
(The Butter and Egg Board yester-
day established a new grade on eggs,
to be known as extra Market Re.
ports.)
Il is an ancient grocerman
Who stoppeth one of three.
by thy pale face and haggard eye,
Now wherefore stoppest me?"
The ancient grocerman replied:
Kind sir, | fain would talk.
IT'S dull; the cheese has taken out
The butter for walk.
Some fearsome thing hangs over me.
My dread | cannot hide.
My berry boxes all are filled
Upon the bottom side.
Il tremble with weakness that
cannot understand;
Just now | weighed some sugar out
And did not weigh my hand.
"Oh tell me-this | wonder on
And sadly mediate
I've overcharged gunpowder tea
Now, will it detonate?"
Back up" the stranger man replied.
IT'S not for this you grieve
Go on and tell The trouble that
You're hiding up your sleeve"
The ancient grocerman then sighed,
And sat and crossed his legs,
And said: It'll now | always thought
And said that eggs is eggs.
But now we have the extra grade;
The strictly fresh as well;
Also the new laid, guaranteed,
And fresh-laid eggs we sell.
we likewise have the cooking egg
He then uncrossed his legs
And lastly the uncertain sort
Retailed as simple eggs.
1T bothers me; it worries me;
| In sooth, can't surmise
When | should cease to charge for eggs
And sell them as spring fries"
| You're added" said the other man.
Your head is full of dreams.
! It's evident your intellect
Is going to eggstremes."
But. list, o patient reader. list:
AS sure as you are born
The egg he got for breakfast made
Him sad and wise next morn.

CITY Scare.
Reports of Great Losses Not Borne
ont bu FactS-PeOple alarmed.

Atlantic City. n. j., Sept. 16.-The tropical
storm which struck the New-Jersey coast early
this morning was of the severest expert
enced for a long time. The wind blew with
hurricane force, and while it lasted kept up \
speed Of seventy miles an hour. The storm
was terrifying to a degree. but the damage was
not so great as was at first believed. con-
sentative estimate places the entire damage at
$4,000 or $4,000. The telegraph and telephone
lines leading out of the city down, and the
fact that the city was cut off from connection
with the outside world started Wild rumors
that the great resort had been entirely swept
away.
The first train in from Philadelphia and other
points brought down excited relatives and
friends who were anxious after the welfare Of
their loved ones. and who found them happy
and telling amusing stories about the freaks
of the storm. Considerable damage was done
along the boardwalk. where the one story pa
vilions suffered 10 a degree. The storms ierc-
est attack was made on the McClay apartment
building. Pacific and South Carolina ayes.
The roof was more than half torn off, entaiing
a loss of $500 The other large damage was
done at the Hotel Strand situated in Pennsyl-
vania-ave., close to the beach. This hotels
brick and frame porch was completely ripped
out and demolished by the wind The damage
otherwise consisted of broken plate glass win
dows. tin roofs cured up. awnings blown down
and trees uproOted. while in the Inlet district,
at the upper end of the city. a number of boats
were torn from their moorings and several
lighthouses were blown over
When the roof OF the McClay Building blew
off. the fifty more families in the houses
were thrown into panic. They were quickly
pacifed, however. and all left the building.
One sick lad. John Flanagan. suffering from
fever. hurried to hospital
YOung's Pier damaged. The territory in
the vicinity Of the pier was made dangerous by
flying glass. Big windows gave way under
pressure of the storm. and pieces Of glass flew
in all directions. DR.. Richard PancOast, seventy
years old, Of Philadelphia. blown down by
the wind the boardwalk and suffered a
fracture Of the hip. He was taken TO the City
Hospital.
Among the hotels whose roofs were damaged
in the storm were the Marlborough, Metropoli-
tan. Kuehnle's, Wentworth and Richmond
None were seriously damaged.
Railroad trains ran on schedule time, and a
larGr number of tiYid visitors hurriedly left
town. The . O'Clock express was the longest
train out Of this city this season.
