The cars were crowded, especially in the afternoon and evening and the storm did not seem to make much difference in the tide setting toward the center of the city.

It was one of the best days imaginable to contract the grip, and doubtless, a whole lot of people in this part of the city laid the foundations of one of these severe grip colds.

!, FAIR HAVEN.

Yesterday was a pretty bad day
 'wn the harbor and there was not cry much oyster dredging. At about the time that the McWilliams line lost seven barges the dredge Luzerne Lud- ington was down on the oyster beds. The gale came up suddenly and the boat had to make a swift run back to its wharf. The captain says the gales came up very suddenly and the seas tumbled in in great waves The steamer X-Rays was to have been sent down the harbor, but valve gave out and this prevented making the trip.
 When the steam tug James McWil- Iams' danger signal blew yesterday morning the whistle was heard clear up to Fair Haven, and several re- hmarked that some boat was in trouble. As told in another column of this pa-
 er, seven boats were lost off the West
 seakwater, and the captain of one bat. Captain Scribner. and his wife were lost. The captain of the tug, who is well known in Fair Haven, did YaI in his power to aid in saving the people on the barges. and it is stated that had Captain Scribner taken his wife to the largest boat, as the cap tain told him to do, both would have been saved. This tug has brought in many boats for Fair Haven coal deal CTS. Had the usual number of Fair Haven dredge boats been at work some of them would doubtless have

that hour, as the church bells were
ringing, he attempted to get up and
dress for service and he fell pros
trate on the floor. DR.. Quin attended
him at once, and he rallied during the
