Early yesterday morning the wind lifted a temporary staging oh the roof of the Prospect st side of the town hall an- i tossed it to the ground with a crash. Fortunately no one was passim? at the time. Bass Point with a large hole in her sl.ie planks ripped oft and lull of water. Further along toward Lynn, near Little Nahant, is the Mattie, owned by James Harris of Lynn: an unknown sloop rigged yacht, with the stern torn away; the Lulu owned by Bart Spurr of Lynn, and the Winifred, owned by Ernest Howe.

In the hight of the storm Shirley Ellis, the Harvard athlete, started in a small boat to the assistance of several of the yachts, and finally succeeded in reaching the Passdon just as the anchor rope parted. He guided the boat safely to a sandy beach and ran her high and dry, and then returned snd put out kedge anchors on other yachts. All along the West Lynn flats boats are ashore ranging from small dories to sloops, but none are total wrecks. Telephone and telegraph wires were blown down all over the city. On Leigh-ton st a large tree fell down across a mass of wdres and completely paralyzed the telephone business in West Lynn.

ing cross." A "swinging cross" Is th moat unsatisfactory condition to have a wire In. and the operator who is "up against it" frequently says things under his breath that he wouldn't want the woman operator sitting near hear him say. Although the wind played havoc with wires to a degree of partial paralysis, there was little delay to the general business. The wires between Boston and New York, especially those running through Connecticut, were quite badly affected during the hight of the storm. Up in New Hampshlre.between Nashua and Manchester, auite a number of Western Union poles were blown down, while between Lawrence and Andover three poles were leveled.

Men were sent from Boston and the wires were last evening. This company will start out 50 men early this morning to repair breaks and erect new poles where needed, i Although the velocity of the wdnd down cape Cod way was furious, the wires suffered very little interruption. In and around Boston, where most of the wires are under ground, of course there was no trouble. The Long Distance telephone company did not have any trouble to speak of. interruptions being few and far between.

Considering the severity of the wind storm all of the companies feel gratified at their escape from serious damage. by Capt Marley of the Mosquito Flee yacht club, was picked up, and While being towed to Lawley'n yard Fhe knocked against the 16-foot Violet, and the latter sank. Off the end of the pier was the Cy-preis buttlnr the Iron railing and evidently endeavoring to carry away her bowsprit. A woman was aboard and in danger of drowning-. The life-saving crew first took her to a safe position on another yacht, and then looked after toe Cypress.

Coastwise steamerg from the eastward arrived and sailed on schedule time, and shipping was not Interfered wdth to any great extent.

The Dominion line steamship New England, Capt James, and the Lyland liner Cestrian, Capt Farrlnfrton, sailed for Liverpool shortly after noon. The New England, how-eveis anchored oft the quarantine station, and as late as 6 o'clock had not continued her voyage. The big flve-masted schooner John B. Prescott left the harbor in the morning' for Philadelphia, but was forced to anchor in the narrows. Turs went down to her, and towed her froni her exposed position to a safer anchorage in the roads.

Among the yachts which parted from their moorings during the gale was the schooner yacht Raven, which was being fast driven to sea when picked up, just below Thompsons island, by the tug Irving Ross, which towed her to the Kastern packet pier. Sloop yachts Wayward and Wasp were picked up adrift by the tusr Joseph Ross, and were also taken to Eastern packet pier. The latter tug also toweu a cutter from off Thompsons island to Commercial wharf, where It wan made fast. Two men were on board. The steamer Cape Cod made her regular trip to Provlncetown yesterday, and arrived there safely at 2.30 hour.

Fortunately for shipping, the gale was forecasted, and no casualties are reported hereabouts. Trees and fences wer blown down, but no serious damage done. MANY ACCIDENTS iiT CAMBRIDGE. Lineman Phelps Hat Narrow Escape From Death Wind Causes Serious Runaway. Robert D.

Phelps, a lineman of the Cambridge electric light company, is thanking his lucky stars that his presence of mind did not desert him while at work on a pole on Lee st. near Harvard, Cambridgeport, yesterday afternoon. The high wind had disarranged some of the wires of the company on that street and he was sent on top of a wooden pole 35 feet high to repair them. The pole swayed dangerously as he reached the top, but as he had secured a firm leg hold he did not anticipate danger. Suddenly a fierce gust of wind broke the pole short within a foot or two of the ground and it toppled and fell.

As he felt the first tremor Phelps Jumped for the branches of a tree some feel away. He struck one of the branches and grasped it with his hands as the huge electric light pole shot past him in its descent to the ground. The limb broke under his weight and he fell to the ground. Hi3 fail was broken, however, by the tree and he struck squarely on his feet. He was immediately taken to city physician Bryant's office, where it was found he was suffering from the shock.

Both ankles were somewhat sprained and ha was sent to his home, 21 Magazine st. The storm was one of the worst experienced in Cambridge in late years. The dust penetrated almost every house In the city and considerable damage to fine furniture resulted. Orchards, where late fruit still hung on the trees, were almost denuded, the fruit almost invariably breaking as it struck the ground. Shade trees all over the city Buffered.

At 2 o'clock an unknown girl passing on Massachusetts av near Pike's stable was struck a glancing blow on the head by a dead limb of a tree, and was knocked down. She got up without assistance and started on the run for home. The extent of her injuries is unknown. Perhaps the most interesting point in the whole city' during the day was the corner of Inman st and Massachusetts av, just In front of the city hall. The object which drew the attention of pedestrians was the steeple of the First Universalist church.

From early morning until the wind died down in the afternoon knots gathered, expecting every moment to see the tower topple over into the street. During the morning the entire superstructure over the roof swayed to and fro, and the steeple is now Inches out of plumb. The chimney of the house, 308 Pearl st occupied and owned by a man named Wilkins, was blown down at 1 o'clock. It fell into the yard, damaging the roof and a fence in its descent. The damage will be about $100.

Several hundred dollars' worth of damage was caused by a falling chimney on the house occupied by William Krlsbie, 21 Rockingham st. Mr Frlsble lives in the flat in the second story. The falling bricks tore a jagged hole four feet long and 1 wide in the flat roof, carrying gravel, timbers, plastering and gaa pipes into the kitchen Just below. No one was injured. A large portion of the tin roof on the double brick house, 09 and 101 Washington st, Cambridgeport, was torn from its position.

A workman sent to cut away hanging portions narrow ly escaped being struck by several falling bricks from a near-by chimney. The winrl created havoc among the wires of the telephone company. The wires of the electric light company also suffered. Joseph G. Sinclair, foreman in the stable of Whiting Smith, on Green st.

was badly injured, by a horse, who became frightened at the wind. Mr Sinclair was seated in a carriage oistside of the stable when the horse attached started to run. Sinclair grabbed at the reins and they became entangled in his legs. He was thrown out and the weight of his body threw the horse, which toppled over on him. He was taken to the house of Julius Meyers, near by, and later taken to his home, Broadway.

It is thought he is internally injured. The horse attached to one of the city ofr'al wagons, driven by James Roper, became frightened by the wind and ran away. Roper was thrown out and fell under the wheels, which passed over him. He was severely injured and was taken to Cambridge hospital. He 11 es at 4C Cedar st.

GREAT FALL OF FETJIT. Leominster Farmers Suffer Heavy Loss from Gale. LEOMINSTER, Sept 12 The high wind which swept over this part of tha state today made ead havoc of the fruit crop and the loss to the farmer is a severe one indeed. In all bearing orchards the ground is covered with fruit and broken limbs. In some localities trees were uprooted and small buildings were in great danger of leaving their foundations.

Such clouds of dust and sand filled the air that for a time none ventured out of doors unless compelled by necessity. MANCHESTER FEELS ITS FURY. Wires Made Useless and Great Dam agre Done to Other Property. MANCHESTER, Sept 12 One of the most furious windstorms which has visited this city In years, almost approaching a c-yclone, swept over the city during the middle of the day and practically rendered useless wires of all descriptions, both telegraphic and telephone, for hours. Windows were forced from their fastenings and driven inward in many buildings, trees were broken olT short and street railway traffic was delayed.

The windstorm of yesterday created some little excitement in Chelsea, where a number of persons were badly frightened for fear a church steeple was going to fall upon their homes.

A lad's thigh was broken by a falling sign, and two small steam launches were damaged. The steeple of the Walnut st M. E. church has had a list to the north now for a few years, but it has several times been pronounced perfectly lu almost every high wind the steeple rocks a little, but yesterday It rocked and swayed in such a manner as to alarm many persons. All during the hight of the storm crowds gathered on the street corners to watch Its wild gyrations.

These people assert that the creaking BLOW OFF CITY POINT. and cracking of the timbers In the steeple could be plainly heard on the street below. One man living opposite to the church removed his family from the house to a friend's until the blow had passed over. The steeple late in the afternoon did not seem to be listed any more than before the storm came up. About 1.10 in the afternoon Thomas H.

Butler, a 9-year-old schoolboy, while on his way to tne city hall school from his home, 33 Williams st, was knocked down by a heavy bill board falling on Park st. The heavy wooden sign board was lifted by patrolman McGauley and a number of citizens and the child was released. He had received a cut over his left eye i and he also complained of a pain In his left knee. A physician found his left i thigh was broken and ordered his re moval to the Frost hospital. He was later taken there in the police ambulance.

Shortly after noon a small steam launch owned by Charlestown men, which had been moored close to the Chelsea side of the Chelsea bridge during repairs, dragged her moorings and banged against the bridge structure. Her deck house was partially demolished so that her engines and boiler were exposed to view. A second small steam launch drifted on the beach near the naval hospital grounds. She was pot damaged to any extent. EVERETT WAS HIT HARD.

Orchards Ruined and Two Wooden Structures Demolished Swaying Church Steeple Scared People. EVERETT. Sept 12 This city suffered severely as the result of today's wind storm. It was the fiercest storm of Its kind that Everett ever felt. The full force of the wind struck here about 1pm.

It made a total wreck of the fruit orchards In the Woodlawn section. An electric wire pole on Broadway near Chestnut st was bent to an angle of nearly So degrees. The polling booth, a wooden building of considerable size, provided for the voters of ward 1, was smashed to kindling wood. The building was in an open space near the Broadway railroad crossing of the Boston Maine, at the Junction of three streets. Timbers were hurled a distance of 40 feet.

Another partially constructed building in the Mt Washington district was demolished. Fences everywhere about th city were blown down. At the hight of the storm the steeple of the First Congregational church on Broadway was seen to be swaying slightly. This is the largest edifice in the city. The police watched the building caxefully and were prepared to warn passersby at the first sign that the steeple might give way.

Building Inspector Elisha A. Loring was summoned and entered the church. When he came out his report was reassuring. He said there was no danger of the steeple's falling, unless the wind increased to a marked extent. As the wind was even then abating in force, the spectators realized that the danger had passed.

There were many accidents of a minor character. Car conductors up all attempts to run cars on schedule time. Stops had to be made about every moment while this or that passenger rushed into the wind after a fast disappearing hat. SPRINGFIELMNO VICINITY. Wind Storm Causes Much Damage- Tree Crashes Through Window in' Bishop Beaven's Residence SPRINGFIELD, Sept 12-Springfleld and surrounding places were wind-swept today and much damage is reported.

Tt? trains were late and the telegraph companies reported loss of many wires. At noon communication with New York ceased, but was restored within an hour. The corner of State and Elliott sts was a storm center, a large limb on a tree crashing through a second story window in Bishop Beaven's residence. Almost at the same instant another large tree fell across State st. A motor-man on a passing car put on an extra burst of speed or his car would have ieen struck by the falling tree, which grazed a delivery wagon.

Trees were blown down on Water, West State and Wilcox sts. Assistant Marshal Wright and Inspector Quilty answered a telephone call from a young woman, who found herself imprisoned in the private office of the Arm by which she is employed. The wind closed the door and she had no key to the spring lock. The assistant marshal and the inspector raised a ladder and opened the unruly door. WIRES BLOWNJROM POLES.

Telegraph messages met with more or less delay yesterday, the heavy wind storm having in many cases blown the wires from the poles, causing a "swing PASSING BY WAY0F CAPE BRETON. Great Storm Fast Disappearing Wind "Velocity Ranging from 50 to 80 Miles an Hour Reported. WASHINGTON, Sept 12 The great West Indian storm which was the cen- SCENES AT HIQHT OF ter of meteorological interest for the past 12 days, is fast disappearing into the Atlantic by way of Cape Breton island, the barometer at Sydney tonight reading 29.02 inches. South to west gales have resulted from this storm, and today they extended along the entire coast from New Jersey northward, Boston reporting a maximum velocity of 50 miles an hour from the west and New York 64 miles from the west, while the wind velocity at Mt Washington was 80 miles an hour.

During Tuesday night a maximum velocity of 80 miles an hour was reported at Buffalo. But little rain accompanied this storm after it left the upper lake region. It has. however, except in the south, caused a marked moderation of the high temperature which has so long persisted over the eastern portion of the country. BLEW DOWN CAMPAIGN BANNER.

One Man Killed and Another Man Rendered Unconscious in the Streets of New York A Blockade. NEW YORK, Sept 12 One man was killed and another badly injured at 9.45 o'clock today by the blowing down of a big democratic campaign banner at Broadway and Duane st. The banner, which stretched across the street from the roof of the big sporting goods house at that corner, was torn from its moorings by the first puffs of the storm approaching from New Jersey. The big stretch of canvas with leaden supports fell into the street. One of the weights struck a pedestrian full on the head and broke his skull.

Another weight hit a wayfarer on the shoulder and knocked him down. The street cars were stopped and all traffic through the busy thoroughfare blocked until the banner was cleared away. Ambulances from the Hudson st hospital wrere summoned. Both victims were unconscious. The surgeon said that the man with the crushed skull could not live.

THREE FEET OUT OF PLUMB. Steeple of Old South Church at South Weymouth Twisted by the Wind. WEYMOUTH, Sept 12 In the blow today the steeple of the Old South church at South Weymouth was twisted and turned by the wind, until it is now more than three feet out of plumb. Its position at present is very dangerous. A small sloop In charge of two men in Hingham harbor got from their control and ran on a rock near Ragged island.

But for the timely assistance of a steam launch and several persons who put out to the boat in dories it would only been a question of time when the boat would have been dashed to pieces. CONNECTICUT FRUIT CROP GONE. Heavy Wind Storm the Last Blow to Suffering Trees -Whole State Affected. NEW HAVES, Conn. Sept 12-Th tail of the hurricane that swept and lashed Connecticut all day today was the last stroke that ruined the Connecticut fruit crop which had been endangered by the drouth.

The gale, which blew at the rate of 40 miles an hour, cleared the orchards of the fruit, which, owing to the drouth, was easily shaken from the trees. There is hardly an apple left on a tree in the entire state. Yesterday the trees were laden with the greatest crop In years. The wind did considerable damage all over the state. Vessels were driven into port with rigging -trees were blown down, and telegraph and telephone wires badly tangled up.

The tents of the county fairs at Orange and at New Milford w'ere razed and the exhibits of the farmers ruined. TIPPED OVER A WAGON. Brookline Grocer's Boy Was Tossed Out, but Not Hurt. The storm did comparatively little damage in Brookline beyond causing the untimely downfall of vast quantities of green apples and pears. In South Brookline, where the large estates are located, and the wind had a clear sweep, much wreckage was done to trees and shrubbery.

Large branches were torn off in many places, and autumn flower beds were unrecognizable after the blow. The telegraph and telephone wires received a very bad wTecklng in this district. The worst tangle was on Washington, near Warren st, where the wires were down for a considerable distance. On Winthrop road was the only broken pole which had been reported up to a late hour last night. A grocer named Bentley was driving in a light wagon on Huntington av yesterday afternoon.

At the corner of Tre-mont and Francis sts a sudden gust of wind lifted the wagon completely off the ground and tipped it over. Netther Mr Bentley or the boy wb.o was driving BROKEN 0FFAT RIDGEPOLE. Fayville Baptist Church Steeple Succumbs to Wind Farmers In Marlboro and Vicinity Lose Much Fruit. MARLBORO, Sept 12 The violence of the gale which harassed New England today wrought considerable damage in this vicinity. At Fayville the steeple of the Baptist church, which has withstood the storms and tempests of 66' years, was broken off at the ridgepole of the church and crashed heavily to the ground.

The steeple was 40 feet from where it joined the body of the church to the weather vane. Dwellers In the near-by houses were thoroughly alarmed, but fortunately no one was injured. In this city a number of chimnies were blown dovn and trees were uprooted. Considerable damage was done also to electric wires, and telephonic communication was slightly interfered with. But the greatest loss was sustained by the farmers.

Nearly every orchard in this vicinity, and there are many whose annual output is hundreds of barrels of fruit, is devastated. The damaged fruit lies on the ground. Peach, pear, plum and apple orchards suffered alike, and the financial loss is a very heavy one. A forest fire which raged over land belonging to Mathew Keefe. on Cedar hill, kept the fire department busy during the afternoon and evening.

Many ecres of woodland were burned over. The wind was the highest ever recorded in this city at this season of the year. ROOFS FLYING IN AIR. Nashua Buildings Lose Their Top Coverings-Extensive Damage to Fruit Crop In Surrounding Towns. NASHUA.

H. Sept 12 A gust of wind at 1 this afternoon lifted the tin roof from the Watananock house on Railroad sq and deposited it on the telo' phone wires. About the same time the roofs on the buildings on Vine st, occupied as wagon and brick sheds by George A. Willard. were torn from those buildings and blown into the street.

A section of the slate roof on the south side of the city hall building was ripped off and crashed down into the passageway between that structure and the county records Duiming. Trees on Railroad sa, Main. Palm, Temple and Auburn sts were blown over, and chimneys in every section of the city were demolished. While there were many narrow escapes from injury so far as can be learned no on was seriously injured. The McKinley and Roosevelt cam paign flag on Main st was torn into shreds, ana tne democratic nag was somewhat injured.

It is Impossible to estimate with any degree of accuracy the amount of damage that was done by the gale.
