Boston-An equinoctial gale swept
over New England Wednesday and
caused considerable damage. In
southern New England telegraph poles
were blown down and trees uprooted,
while in the northern part of that
section and in New Brunswick there
was a considerable fall of snow, which
blocked traffic on both steam and elec-
trio railroads.
The storm was very severe through
the section from Greenwich, Conn, to
the Passamaquoddy, and we'll into the
maritime PROVINCES. The barometer,
which sank to 28.7, an unusual depth,
dragged after 1t gale that attained
hurricane proportions in some dis
tricts, notably Block Island, where
the wind reached velocity of a mile
a minute. The storm, which in.
creased in intensity as it moved
across New England, was severely
felt in New Brunswick Nova Scotia
and Newfoundland.
In New Brunswick the wind at.
tanned a velocity of 60 miles an hour,
and left foot of snow, which was
largely blown into drifts. In Nova
Scotia the storm still increased and
late at night returns from it's havoc
were still incomplete.
At s o'clock, eastern time, or 8
o'clock Atlantic time, the storm was
central between Nova Scotia and New
foundland, and the results of its Sc.
verify are still to be chronicled. 1t
was blowing hard at that time
through the gulf of st. Lawrence and
over the island of Newfoundland, and
a furious tempest was raging at st.
Johns, Newfoundland.
1t is expected that incoming liners
will have many reports of tempestu-
GUS seas from the Grand banks to
their ports.
The last day-officially--o winter,
is likely to be a dating point for fu-
ture generations as the day of the big
wind. For though the wind has
blown harder in Boston than 1t did
Wednesday it has seldom blown so
viciously or with more noticeable re-
suits. Accidents of greater or less
importance happened all through the
morning and early afternoon until the
gale somewhat abated in force as the
sun went down.
Falling states from the roofs. top
pling chimneys, great signs blown off
the fronts of high buildings, bill
boards lying over on their backs in
wayside meadows with their legs in
the air, capsized wagons, dragged an
chors and piled up vessels, and torn
and blown down trees on electric
wires hint at the dangers which the
wind blew into Boston. The minor in
cidents, the merry, merry chase after
wandering headpieces, the skirts
which clung and twisted, the people ac-
tually blown against buildings, the
madcap pranks that picked delivery
baskets out of grocers' wagons, were
too numerous to list.
A number of persons were hurt
more or less seriously.

Thrifty Soldiers.

The American soldier is not highly
paid, yet he is thrifty chap. Last
year 54,266 enlisted men saved and
deposited with the paymaster's de-
partment $1,495,228. This is a very
respectable sum, and represents about
10 per cent of the total pay of all the
enlisted men for that period Had

TOAD FISH IN OYSTER SHELL.

A toad fish about the size of a hui
man finger was received at the
museum of the fish commission at
Washington, with which there is
connected an interesting story. It
is stated that the fish was found in
a closed oyster shell, which was pur-
chased by Mr.. John H. Miller, of
No. 331 G street southeast, when he
secured a lot Of the bivalves in the
shell from a dealer. While opening
the oysters Mr.. Miller found the fish
inclosed between the shells. 1t was
alive and he carried it to the mu-
scum. It was placed in an aquarium,
and to-day is reported to be "well
and thriving"
1t is said the toad fish, which is
an ugly looking member Of the finny
tribe, can live several hours out Of
the water. The theory is that the
fish was Matched from an egg which
became accidentally imprisoned in
the oyster shell.
