3 WE R's. KorroB Burraio Manv oersons not savins seen or Derhans heard very much about the TtfTt Farm tn re-a ceat years would no doubt be surprisedSss the changes that it has already undergone, should tbey chance to pay a visit in that locality. The large lumber yards, five in number, planing mills, Lehigh Valley freight bouse and coal docks, together with the Buffalo Creek railroad make as lively a scene of commarQal activity as one could wish to see upon any of our more central business thoroughfares. The recent storm struck about half past nine or a quarter to ten Monday morning with tbe suddenness of cyclone, man aud beast peeking shelter hurriedly. The waters in Buffalo CTeek and Blarkwell canal at once began to wave and rise perceptibly.

The wind raged at such a high rate of spaed as to threaten death to the one who should thrust his head out of doors. Planks, and hoards flying through the air were the general order of things. A man walking along tbe railroad track was blown completely down and found mother earth oiore agreeable to embrace, so he continued along on all fours. An engine drawing a train of Central freight cars broadside to the wiud was relieved of some weight by the roofs of four cars being carried completely away into an adjoining field. Tbe writer was an eye wituess to both these sights.

To the prudent it seemed decidedly bet to remain indoors, even that being risky enough for fear (est tbe roof over our very-beads should come off, or a target pole near by should snap off and come crushing in npon us. Those of you who were protected in comfortable offices sheltered by high walls, (especially as the time of the storm) the writer wishos to congratulate, for never in' his history has he witnessed so severe a gale. Sitting in the office of one of the prominent lumbermen of the Tifft farm and looking as far as the eye could reach, in any direction, was one raging sea, scarcely any land being visible save the roadbed and tracks of the Buffalo Creek railroad directly in front. Tbe water was across the tracks to the depth of three feet, between the Buffalo Creek railway office and Noyea Sawyer's yard, which was afloat, water coming into the bouses near by, which were on piles. Tbe turnpike leading to the city was entirely submerged and an engine that bad been sent down to the Oamon street yards being unable to get back, showed that means to escape to the city by that route were entirely cat off.

The large tracts of meadow to' tbe creek were flooded so that tbe topmost boards only of fences three boards high, were "risible. A good sised yawl boat could be propelled where the withered grass and weeds were but two hours before. Tbe wind, bursting forth as though old had loosened tbe shackles from all his messengers, caught np the spray and burle.l it on and on until one doubted whether he was experiencing a heavy rainstorm or stood beneath a foaming cataract in the midt of the spray. Apparently all means of escape from our island home were cut off until the water (which seemed as though it never wonld) should recede. At lost, seizing the opportunity, the writer escaped on an engine which passed, there being one hemmed in with us, and taking the way where the water seemed most shallow, made a break for liberty.

Finally landing at East Buffalo, he sought the nearest conveyance citywards. Talk almtit Idowing sim down, overturning chimneys, breaking plate glass and laying low ito be sure this is bad enough), why, t-rvdity residoote of Buffalo, including th- oldest do not kuow what blow is until some such gale is experienced as the Tifft Farm can furnish, with the wind blowing 90 miles an hour. So tjulckly did the storm arise that there was not time enough to get iuto one's conveyance and drive home. The force of the wind would have overturned a coach. The water flooded Dewitt Plavter's mill, came into the Buffalo Planing Mill and was up to the boxes of the cars in the I.ebigh coal yards.

The beats moored in the locality $htre not damaged by the rise and fall of the water, K. The above subscriberj having recently entered the lumber business, found the experience such a novel and exciting one to him that he considers it worth while to let the Commercial know about it. The full force of the gale could only be seen and experienced to le appreciated. K. Keal Kstate Transfers.

About Var loos Topics of XwOcal I Interest. A MASKSTI BUCK1KSTIOK. There Is a "good deal ot controversy, over the assessments for the Elk-stree: mu-ket improvement. Now, I amoae of those who don't believe the improvements were necessary or desirable," remarked a critical citizen to a CosMEsexu. listener today.

'Why do yon think so! "Because I don't think that in the bsst interests of the pommunity that the market should be maintaineiat all." "But a market of that kind is a necessity." Certainly, but not a market located and surrounded as the Elk-street one is." What are your objections to it! it is poorly located to meet the wants of the city. Just take the map of Buffalo and you will see what I mean. It is away off in a corner of the city- In other large cities like Paris, London. Brussels, Philadelphia. St.

Louis and even Chicago the markets are centrally located. Just look at tbe approache to tbe Eilt-street market. To get there from tbe west the terrors and delays of ths grade crossings have to be encountered and then there is tbe stench of the Hamburg canaL 1 am told that the market is pervaded with sewer gas which nju-t necessarily more or less affectthe produce, meats and fish exiiosed for sale. The city could very weli aiford to tear down the market, sell tbe land and acquire laud further west, say on Exchange street or Seneca street, and build a first-class market, with all the modern improvements. It will be a splendid thing for the city to do and it would pay in more ways than one.

THE ACTINO-SEnOEAXT'S PRKIMCTIONM. "How is it," remarked a member of the Merchants' Exchange this morning, that the predictions of our local signal service office have hit the weather so nicely of late; Can Acting-Sergeant Williams be given credit for the only predictions which have reallysbeen worth paying attention to during the past three months? Last Tuesday his forecasts were rain for Wednesday, turning into snow during the night and colder weather for Thursday, Today he ays decidedly colder weather for tomorrow and Saturday reaching 10 above zero oi' lower. Thi.i prediction will be watched with considerable interest by the produce an3 grain men here." ALL AT HEAtXJ CARTERS. What's tbe matter around here;" inquired a citizen this morning, on entering tbe office of the police commit sioners at headquarters. 'bn't there anything going on I The building seems as quiet as a because everybody is behaving so well at present," replied one of the veterans of tbe service.

"No policemen up on charges, nothing for the board to do. The men are all getting lo be so good their wing- will begin to grow before long. I don't know what the, reason is, perhaps the grip has something to do with it, and perhaps its only the calm that precedes tbe storm, but tha fact is that its desperately quiet in police circle just at present." MANLY ART. "Manly art(i) received quite a set-back in Chicago last night," said a round towa man today while chatting with a bevy of admirers. How so: spoke up one of the party.

"Why, the police would not permit Billy Myer, the Streator Cyclone, who recently appealed before the Buffalo Athletic Club, and Harry Gilmore of Toronto, to light with anything but six-ounce gloves regular pillows. And even then they stopped tbe 'pugs' in the fifth round. Thigouts an end to boxing matches in Chicago ir some time to come." "Will there be any interference in the match between Jack Haaley of this city and Harry Gilmore at the Erie County Athletic Club on the 'Jilth of the present month "I don't know. Tho Erie County Athletic Club is incorporated and 1 have heard that a prominent lawyer has expressed his opinion that the Club could exclude the police if they detired. It is impossible to predict the outcome, but I do not think that there will be an3T interference.

The rough element will be excluded and everything will' be conducted in first-class order, I am certain." SEVEN STOBIES HIGH. Tt at will be an elegant building and a credit to tbe city," remarked one citizen to another while standing on the corner of Niagara and Pearl streets-today and looking at the new stone structure going up just east of Joseph Smith's place. What firm is putting it up, please!" put in a bystander. Dun Qo. It will be seven stories high and will put the adjoining buildings in the shade in point of architecture and convenience.

The upper floors will be rented for offices. Too bed that there are not mora such blocks going up in the business portion of tbe city. But tbe main difficulty is that tbe majority of the old blocks stand on leased lands. Take tbe Kremlin Block for instance, and those old places on Main street between. Swan and North Division streets, most all of tbe are 6n territory, and the former lease dates back to the sale of the property by tbe Holland Land Purchase Company to Judge Peacock.

The lease wili expire some day, aad then look out for buildings that will make even a Chicago man envious." HE "BLEW" IS FKOM fURAND ISLAV1). "I just 'blew' in from Grand Island," humorously remarked Mr. Ossian BeJell to a Commercial i alker this afternoon. "Have much of a gale down there the other day?" "Oh yes, quite a swifc breeze, but no damage was done to speak of." How's tbe new ferry enterprise progressing?" "Tip-top. Tbe stock is about all subscribed and with the coming of springtime we propose to hustle.

It takes us Grand Islanders to hustle, Building lots selling like hot cakes from the griddle. Going to have a little city of our own some Move down and we'll elect you an alderman. Better than living under a democratic administration." Shakespeare Won. The pool rooms about town were crowded this afternoon and speculations was at high tide. At tbe Guttenburg races, Shakespeare, ridden by Jockey Jones, won, after a nlp-and-tuckstruggle down the stretch with Japhet, who finished second.

The odds on Shakespeare at tbe start were 8 to 1. Died Suddenly. Coroner Tucker was called today to investigate the death of Mrs. Charles Herget which occurred suddenly this morning shortly after 6 o'clock at 163 Fifth street, where she had been visiting since Sunday. The deceased was 60 years of age, lived at 50 Meyer street, aud had been troubled with heart disease.

Third Baseman Joyce of last year's Toledo Club has signed with the Brooklyn Players' Club. He was signed by C-uniskey, who says he is the coming man on thirJ. Albany and nretalKei of as members of the Atlantic aahociatioa. Loca.1 games in those cities drew largely last season, and wih good nianogement clubs of the calibre of New Haven ano Worcester ought to pay witbont any trouble. The PWladelphin Players' League club has takeD a five years' lease of Forepaugh's park, with the privilege of buying the same.

Work wtyl begin next week, and it is expected to have the gTounds in playing condition by the middle of March. The league mathematicians struggle with figures to show how certain it is that the Players Ixwigiie will lose big meney. Yet they hbow a most earnest desire to continue in the losing business themselves, and will put up big money to do so. Everybody knows how the league magnates love to lose money. They ju? dote t-n blowing in their ducats.

Bennett, the great catcher, he says, will surely sign with the Boston I-eague team. Now we are sure of Fred Carroll and there Is nothing to fear," said Manager Han Ion, of the Pittsburg Brotherhood club, yesterday. I will have by the first of next seas one of the best batting c'ubs in the United States.

No jockey developed within the past three or four years has pushed his way to the front quicker than Bergen, and as he appears to possess a good head and some of the qualities of judgment that have made Hay ward and Mclaughlin famous in their profession, it is likely that he wil long retain his present prominence. John L. Sullivan yesterday received a telegram from the California Athletic club, offering a purse of tlo.000 for a tight bet ween Sullivan and Jackson. He said the club knew he would make no arraagements until be got out of tho Mississippi trouble. also said he had been offered as high as t.10,000 for a fight, but as this was a very good club he would go to tbem for 25,000, but not cent less.
