Reports of the Storm from
Many Points.
The Most Severe Experienced at East-
port, mm, Since the Famous Bliz-
zard of 1888—No Loss of Life Re-
ported Yet—Trains Delayed and
Conunun ica ti on Interrupted.
EASTPORT, Me., Jan. 31.——The easterly
storm, which began here Monday night,
with possibly one exception, is the most
severe that has visited this section since
the famous gale of 1869. The possible ex-
ception was the blizzard of March 13th,
1888, which played such havoc on the At-
lantic coast, especially in New York city.
The gale began about 8 o’clock, when the
wind recorded 30 miles per hour, which
increased rapidly, reaching 54 miles from
the northeast at midnight and still in-
creasing. It was soon blowing a mile a
minute, reaching at an early hour yester-
day morning the maximum Velocity of 7;”:
miles per hour, the barometer during the
24 hours having fallen from 30:50 to 28:84
inches, and continued falling. The snow
fall was not very heavy butnvhat fell
drifted in the streets. "What few ves-
sels were in port pounded hard against
the wharves. The big freight barge,
J. N. Todd, of Calais, was lying at
Union wharf and she pounded so hard as
to upset one of her coal stoves, setting
her on fire, but by prompt action on the
part of the crew the fire was extinguished,
, thus, no doubt, saving the city from a dis-
astrous conflagration. Anderson’s lum—
ber wharf was nearly destroyed by the
heavy sea and east wind. Small schoon-
ers were badly damaged one having
her stern badly damaged. On shore sev-
eral windows were blown in——3:>me in the
stores on Water street and some in dwell—
ings in different parts of the city, and
several chimneys were blown down. The
damage along the coast further cast-
must be considerable, but as yet nothing
has been heard from that quarter. The
gale, although somewhat abated, raged
all last night. ‘
Fierce Storm on th’e Sound.
NEW LONDON, Conn., J an. Sl.—Tne
storm last night on the sound was the
most severe since the hurricane of Oct.
14, last, when great damage was wrought.
by sea and wind all along the coast. At
this station the barometer was down to
28:90, the lowest since Feb. 28, 1893, when
the same point was reached. The velocity
of the wind here was 53' miles an hour,
but at intervals it came in pufl's and
showed much greater power. The storm
showed increased energy as it left the
coast and proceeded to sea where it will
go on record as one of the great storms.
\Vorst Blizzard in Years.
AL‘l‘OONA, Pa., Jun. 31.——Tlie blizzard
which set in Monday night has proved to
be the worst experienced in this section
for years. '\Vet snow has been driving in
blinding sheets and wet as it is huge
drifts are quickly formed. Trains have
been running somewhat late but thus fa r
have been able to get through. A stable
belonging to Dr. S.L. McCarthyin this city
was burned yesterday and the flames
communicated to three dwelling houses
which were also practically destroyed,
rendering the three families homeless.
A Schooner in Danger.
NANTUCKET, Mass, Jan. 31. —The
weather bureau display man at Sankaty
reported a small schooner, probably a
fisherman, anchored in the ice of Bass
Rip. “'hcn last s'een, in spite off the
heavy sea, she was making good weather
of it, but last night the gale increased al—
most to a hurricane, and it is feared that
she will part her cable and go ashore on
the network of shoals lying between her
and Open water.
Storm in the Mohawk Valley.
FORT PLAIN, N. Y., Jan. 31.—A severe
blizzard raged in the Mohawk valley
Monday night, Tuesday and last night.

Big Derrick Blown Down.
WEST POINT, N. Y., J an. 31.—-Durin'g a
heavy gale of wind yesterday afternoon,
a derrick standing 103 feet high, which
was intended for hoisting the Battle mon-
ument, was blown down. The loss is a
serious one to the contractors, as the con-
struction of the derrick required many
. weeks of labor.

steamer Pueensmorc, hence from Liver-
pool J an. 29, went ashore near Cove Point,

\Vorst Gale of the Season.
PORTSMOUTH, N. H., J an. 31.—-Thc worst

Danger on Jersey Coast.
ATLANTIC CITY, N. J., Jan. 31,—The

How to Cure Ia Grippc.
About aiyear ago I took ajviolentfat-
tackofla grippe. Icoughed day and
night for about six weeks; my wife
suggested that I try Chamberlain’s
Cough Remedy, At first I could see no
difference, but still kept taking it, and
soon found that it was what I needed.
If I got no relief from one dose I took
another, and it was only a few days
until I was free from the cough. I
think people in general ought to know
the value of this remedy, and I take
pleasure in acknowledging the benefit I
have received from it. Madison Mus-
