_ Wind, Rain and Hall Destroys Pro.-
per’ty‘ in Every Direction.
Trees Uprooted and Vessels Torn
from their Anchorage.
r
The fiercest and most destruCtive
wind and rain storm of years, visited
this section about ten o’clock last night,
and raged with unabated fury up to
nearly nine o’clock this morning. As
wires are down in every direction, and
trains delayed, we are able, at this
writing, only to give details of local
happenings. The losses on the water
and along the shores must'be something
appalling, while great damage has been
done to buildings, crops, fruit and
shade trees all about us. Docks have
been swept, low lands. submerged, cel-
lars deluged, roofs hither-to tight, so
torn and rent as, to flood many resié
dences. The roof of one of the Clark
cottages on Prospect Avenue 'was so
damaged as 'to let in such a body of
water as to cause ruin to carpets and
furniture. The highways in all direc-
tions are obstructed by fallen trees and
branches, and railroad embankments
in many places on the Consolidated
are reported washed away and seriously
damaged.
AT Nonwanx.
The wind blew at a terrible rate and
the rain came down in torrents all,
Some of the houses rocked like cradles:
and the occupants sat up in mortal fear
that they would topple over. Electric
light, telephone and telegraph wires
were broken by falling trees. On Wall
street there were two live electric wires
down, one of them becoming attached
to the iron railing on the bridge charg-
ed the same with electricity and a lad
who happened to be passing this morn-
ing, placed his hand on the rail and re-
.ceil'fisl aslightshock, ,Heuooted as sur-
prised as if'someOne had given him"
a circus ticket. .. ,
Another electric light wire fell near
Adams Bros. store, and a horse belong-
ing to the South Norwalk Beef Co.’
stepping on it was thrown to the ground,‘
but escaped injury. Mr. Adams went.
out after the accident and cut the wire
in two, with'a cleaver. ' _ ,
Large and valuable shade trees in
front of the premises of T. S. Vander-
hoef, Charles F. Osborne and George
Ward. Selleck on East avenue were
blown down and for a time blocked
travel on that thoroughfare. Jarvis
Kellogg sufi‘ered the loss of a large may
ple tree and a peach tree laden with
fruit at his home on Center avenue,
and the awning in front of his store
was torn to pieces.
' The limbs of trees on Elm street.
School street, Belden avenue, etc.,
were snapped off and scattered about
the street. A 'tree near Grace church
was blown over and A. G. Betts of the
GAZETTE oflice reports the less of a
pear tree that was well filled with fruit.
A stately elm tree on the William
Mitchell place on the Rocks road was'
razed as was a large hickOry tree on
the Henry Kellogg place at the foot of
Spring Hill. 'An elm tree in front of
the residence of Joseph Beagan on
Franklin avenue was blown down. A
hinged window .was blown in at Read-
man’s gallery and the floors flooded with
water. A large pane of glass in the
O. U. A. M. hall was broken into frag-
ments by a gust of wind. During the
night the wires became crossed by the
gale and the fire alarm bell was rung.
One hundred feet of fence in front
of Selectman Daskam’s house was
razed, and a hickory tree on Union
Park was snapped in two.
On the new road leading from Winni-
pauk to Belden Hill a large tree blew
directly across the street blocking trav-
el for some time. Travel was also
blocked on the New Canaan road by
the falling of a tree in front of the
Tindall property. L .
There was an extraordinary high tide
and the piers were flooded, but the
damage done was nominal.~ Several
,boats anchored near the bridge broke
from their moorings and drifted down
the harbor. ,

Flnlsh Piping' First.
EDITOR GAZETTE :.—— So long as the
question of increased pipe service is the
most vital one, such increase being ab-
solutely necessary to bring even our
present supply down frOm the upper
reservoirs, a new reservoir wOuld be
useless without this increased pipe ser.
vice, and as such increase means legal
claims for damages on the part of .mill
owners on the Silver Mine stream, it
seems to be the height, of folly and lack
of business judgement to expend fifty
or seventy-five thousand dollars fora
new reservoir until the larger pipe al-
ready commenced to be put down, is
completely laid the entire distance so to
bring the water, we now have down,and
all questions. of damages are settled for-
ever. " Otherwise we place ourselves in
the power of the water right claimants
with thousands of dollars more invest-
ed in another dam and reservoir, from
which we can obtain very little benefit
The first thing a clear headed business
man would do in a case this kind,where
his ,persOnal interests were at stake,
would be to finish laying the new water
pipe and settle forever all claims or
gmages caused by such increase, and
en build another dam if needed.

Baldwin was awakened by' a, noise in
the bedroom. She remained perfectly
still and listened for a renewal of the
sounds when suddenly a man arose
from the floor'and stood by the bed.
After standing therefor a moment he
turned and'climbed' through an open
window. When he had disappeared
Mrs. Baldwin screamed arousing her
husband. , ‘ .'
A brilliantwedding. took- place in
Stratford last ni ht in the marriage of
Miss Florence . Curtiss, only daugh-
ter of Mr. and Mrs. E. O. Curtiss, to
John E. Judson, who is cOnnected with
the” Bridgeport Copper 00. The core-
money. wasperformed in the Congre-
gational church in .the presence 0
many friends of the contracting parties.
The-bride wore a White bengaline silk,
cut entrain. She was attended by Miss
M. Louise .Wolfe, in blue and Miss
Saddle B. Aspell, in pink, as brides-
maids. .
Wallace & Co., brass and copper wire
manufacturers with ofices at 29 Cham-
bers street and factory in ' Ansonia,
Conn., went into the hands of receivers
Wednesday afternoon. The liabilities
are $875,000 ;assets $2,000,000, of which
half ism the plant. 'The company was
compelled to ask for receivers because
it could-not meet its obligations owing
to _ the stringency of money. It is
thought it will get on its feet again.
The company was organized in 1848
and incorporated in 1853. It employed
from 1,000 to 1,400 hands. They were
laid off Wednesday night till further
no ice.
Others Hold Up. _
Since the attempt was made to “hold
up” Tommy Hopper, the Gamma is
informed of two other cases of a simi-
lar nature, and both occurring on West
avenue. Another case. is reported to
us, of a villainous looking man closely
following aresident of the Borough,
who came in on the-midnight express,
from near the M. E. Church up to Mer-
win street. 'When the party saw he was
being followed, he took to: the‘middle :
of the street, the scamp doing the same,
and opened » and iheld‘ the big blade of
his pocket-knife in such manner as to
be.seen‘ by his pursuer. . When he
walked fast or slow the rascal did the
same, but never uttered, a word or
made anyattack. When at the corner
of Merwin street-,- where the Morison
lights gave a more perfect outlino of
the villain, he_halted, took to the side-
walk again, and retreated towards South
Norwalk. If this thing is to go on, it
will be well to-police West (avenue 9.
little more thoroughly. ‘ . .

CLEVELAND’S HEALTH.
I)!"
It I!
In Suffering From Bright's Discos.
or Organic Trouble. ‘
WASHINGTON, Aug. 24.—'—Prlvate Secre-
tary Thurber, when asked this morning re-
garding the report that the president was
Inflering from Bright’s disease, unhesitat-
lngly stated that there was absolutelyno
truth in the report, and when asked as to
his general health stated that there was
nothing organic the matter with thepresi-
dent. When he left Washington, itéwas
under the advice of those who take a great
personal interest in his welfare, simply be-
cause he wanted the recuperation which
his. arduous duties of the past six months
had made necessary and to fit him toagaiu
assume the exacting cares ofhis official
position. ‘
Mr. Thurber added that the rest the
president needs is simply what any man,
however vigorous, must require when
overtaxed. Mr. Thurber received clatter
only yesterday from the president. in
, which he stated that he was rapidly gain-
ing strength and vigor. _
Assistant Secretary Hamlin, who has
.just returned from Gray Gables bringing ,
with him a number of official appoint-
ments for internal revenue collectors in
Kentucky and Virginia, states that. the
president seemed to be iuthe best of health
and pronounces as absurd the stories to
the contrary. _ ‘ ‘
. Secretary Lamont, who also has been
quite recently in the president’s society,
said: “These stories are absolutely base-
less. The presldeut is as sound as any one,
but like everybody else. he needs rest oc-
» he has no organic trouble of any kind.”
