presented scenes of devastation to-
day, with gaping holes in seine of the,
main thoroughfares as the result of'
yesterday's subsidences caused by the!
terrific storm, while tlle population of'
the entire city was deprived of water,,
gas and electricity, cut off as a pr u-‘
tionary measure against floods, explo-
sions and iires.

Several lives are known to have been
lost last liigllt through vehicles fallingl
into cavities in the earth, but the total
was not known this morning, as some
bodies were believed to have disap-l
poured into the sewers. ,

flieavy rains today 'added to the dif-
'tlculties of the search for the bodies
of persons believed to be buried be-
neath the debris.

Strict precautions were taken to
prevent thepuhlic approaching spots
.when mandates danger-outtakes sub
bidenoo owing to washouts caused by

. burst sewers and water mains. Many
streets were barred to wheeled traffic
and pedestrians were kept at a safe
distance.

A street collapsed early today in the
northern district of Montmartre be-l
hind the great cemetery, far from the.
other cave-ins. Efeople in the vicinity
pcurried only as the ground began to

walnk, and all managed to escape.

nal and delightful affair, much enjoyed
by all of those present.

Nf'neteen sheath sat down together
at the table. numbering ten members
of the faculty a nine seniors. The
table was decorabd with exquisite red
roses, the class flower, and at each
place was a plaod card in the form of
a Hillside IH.. bearing on it each per-
son's name and the school seal. with
the date. i

A regular part'of the senior supper
consists in the vlng and taking of?
Jokes against one another. Great:
amusement was caused by the many:
funny gifts received by the seniors and3
the bits of imprmnptu acting cleverly:

Biblical quotations, right to the
point, lent a certain churchiy air to

court proceedings, yesterday morning,
Ibefore Judge 'l‘uttle, as befitting an
action in which a minister is involv-
ed, as defendant.

Dr. George F. Pentecost, the
famous Presbyterian divine, is con-
testing an action which involves sev-
eral mechanics' liens upon the fine
home which he built for himself at
Rowayton. The plaintiff in this
action is the Hubbell, Hall & Ran-
dall Co., lumber dealers of Non
walk. They hold alien for mate-
rial furnished. Parties defendant,
also holding liens, include the Green-
wich Hardware Co., Michael La-
vin. Arthur S. Beno'lt and a half
a dozen more. The amount involv-
ed is about 35,000.

Contracted for Home.

Dr. Pentecost contracted to have
a home built at the cost of about
$10,000. Owing to some mistakes
ill connection with the certification
for the work many of the people
furnishing material did not get their
pay.

it was while
on the witness stand yesterday morn-
ing that very interesting biblical re-
partee passed between the reverend
gentleman and the lawyers.

“Way of the Tranogroucr."

" Dr. Pentecost was being examined
by Mr. Beers and was being ques-
tioned on some transactions quits
closely. He seemed to think he had
answered the questions several times
dyer. With a little asperity be re-
marked that he did not see why he
should be called upon to answer such
questions over and over again. ‘

Quick as a flash came this from
Attorney Beérs: “You know. doctor.
the way of the transgressor is hard,"
and the doctor had t6 join in the
laugh as it went around.

Many Lawyers Attend.

There was a host of lawyers at
hand for the various interests. John
C. Chamberlain and Stanley T. Jen-
nings appeared for the doctor. The
plaintiffs were represented by George
H. Vosburgh. ‘Others were represented
by Attorney Beers. Judge Charles D.
Barnes and William C. Bungee.

Architect Paddock. whose certifi-
‘cations caused much of the trouble.
was on "the witness stand for some
time. He had a rather uncomforb
able half hour while cross examined
by Mr. Chamberlain. He intimated
that Dr. Pentecost had directed him
to falsify dates on the certificates.
Mr. Chamberlain tried to get him to
show Where such request was made
land he could not do it.
