10 WIND AND RAIN Effects of the August Storm Along the Coast. Long, Branch Property, fn- jured but Slightly NEWPORT AND SARATOGA. New Yorkers Muffling in Cloaks Along the Hudson. Phenomenon and Loss of Life in Pennsylvania. The Effects of the Storm at Lgng Branch, Lone BRANCH, N. J., August 14, 1873. ‘The past thirty-s:x hours have worked a tempo- rary revolution in Long Branch life. The flerce breath of the tempest has blown away all the fashion, the pelting rain has washed off all the gilding and the snow; warm shawis and water- proofs have taken the place of silks and brocatels; the gay equipages have disappeared from the road; the silvery laugh and boisterous mirth of the bathers has been changed for the roar of the wild waves and the dash of the foaming breakers, The storm upon the coast has been severe, probably as stiffa nor’easter as has been experienced here for some time; but it has done little or no damage in this locality beyond the temporary incouventence and trouble to which it has subjected the bathing house keepers along the beach, and the loss it has entailed upon hackmen, livery stable proprietors, landlords and express companies. There has been some slight injury to the railroad from Sandy Hook, but not of sufficient importance to occasion delay to more than a sin- gie train, and not severe enough to take more than a gang of men and a few leads of earth to repair it. There has been no disaster at sea so far as we have learned to excite the sympathy and regret of the humane, no loss of property to bring mortifica- tuon to any person, hence the people at Long Brauch have been able to enjoy the fierce strife of the elements as a pleasant change from the ordinary enjoyments of Summer seaside lle, and have been well pleased to renounce for a few hours’ their Pleasant occupations of riding, airing, walking and bathing in order to witness one of the grand- est scenes in the shifting panorama of nature that the human eye can behold—a genuine storm on the ocean. Those who suppose that the last two days have been lost at Long Branch, or even that they have not been enjoyable, are greatly in error. The correspondents and reporters of some portion of the press who appear to be too dull to under- stand that the plain facts would make q recital Anteresting enough, conjuted up terrified gtesta and narrow escapes to gratify their readers, and in defiance of the iaw and without the fear of its penalties before their eyes insisted upon tearing up railroad tracks, casting bathing houses into the ocean and overthrowing buildings. The truthis that except in the splendor of the sight of Old Ocean lashed into fury the storm has lacked anything oi an rt character. A lew bathing houses here and there have been taken to pieces and hauled up the bluff out of the reach of the upusually high tide; one or two Summer houses erected on the sands below the bluif have been treated in asimilar manner; a few Indian tents have been blown down, and this tells the whole story of the terrific effects o1 the gale. The lady guests of the hotels, so far irom being in any terror, have enjoyed the novel fun of the wind and the rain, and, tobi Lag 4 themselves up in all sorts of muftling apparatus, have boldly made their way to the beach, and stood for hours watching the foaming waves roll in and exhaust their fury on the shore. ‘the bands have played nearly all the day in the ariors instead of on the lawn, and morning danc: i, a8 Wellas the evening hop, has been kept up until the feet of the dancers grew Weary and de- manded rest. This was the true condition of affairs here yesterday and to-day, and this 1s the plai nvarpished story of the storm. The sur- prising regularity with which the trains have been running on time and the excellent trips made by the Long Branch steamers during the whole period of the ‘empest have served to show that the line is noi intended for tair weather only and that its safety and efficiency are assured. ‘To-day the storm is virtually over. We have its legacies left in the shape of intermittent rain, a cold wind and heavy seas, but these are gradually disappearing, and at five o’clock the setting sun made a bold at- tempt to vindicate its rights and struggle into sight. The most experienced weather prophets pre- dict a fine, warm day to morrow and a succession of hot days thereafter. Experts in the bathing line agsure me of a greatly improved bottom and sSpiendid water after the storm, and hopetul lana- Jords confidently caiculate upon larger crowds and an extended season as the effect of the temporary interruption interposed by the gale, so that the Jate wind, despite its flerceness, has not been with- out its good. Passengers by the train due at six o’clock have just arrived (twelve minutes to seven), ali safe and sound, about three-quarters of an hour betind reguiar ume. There were no trouble ou the road, ‘The steamer Hoyt is said to have had a rough cone on the Bay to-day, but got through all righ Aboat one o’clock this morning watchers at the Ocean Hotel bathing station saw lights from a large steamer close inshore, about opposite the Mansion House, evidently unaware of her danger- ous position, She probably saw the lights on shore or heard the roar of the breakers, as she suddenly stopped her headway, reversed engines and stood away to the northeast. Had she continued on her course she must have gone ashore about opposite the Metropolitan Hotel. Getting Warm Again. LONG BRANCH, August 14—9 P, M. The weather is now calm and cloudy, and getting warm rapidly. The storm has entirely passed away. The Loss ef the Block Island Packet Denied. Newport, August 14, 1873. The report of the sinking of the Block Island mail packet, Nathan F. Dixon, with 100 passengers, 4s pronounced untrue. The rumor arose from the fact that the schooner Susan and Mary, which was capsized near Point Judith last Thursday, was seen by & passing vessel and reported here. From the fact that the mail boat was due, this craft was taken for ber, and the report spread like wildfire that she was lost. It is true, however, that no news can be heard from the island until the storin bates, but no one, even those having friends on bourd, anticipated that she ever leit port. A Greenport Steamer Delayed. Providence, R. 1, August 14, 1873, ‘The steamer due from Greenport yesterday after- Qo0on did not leave because of the heavy weather. Whe Saratoga Races Postponed to To. Day on Account of the WeathermA Winter Scene ut the Springs. SARATOGA, August 14, 1873. The storm which swept over the southern por- tion of the State yesteruay reached here aggiy this morning, and by eleven o'clock the rain was pour- ing down in torrents. It was preceded by a keen, blood-chilling wind, that compelled even the most altra fashionabies among the ladies, who always affect low-neck dresses in the morning, to come fiown to breakfast well wrapped up in shawis, Spring overcoats, and even Winter overcoats, were brought into requisition by the gentlemen, and were found to be by no means uncomfortable. It is not everybody, however, who comes to Saratoga to escape the heat of the city, and comes ell provided with light clothing, Who is thought- ‘al enough to give an overcoat or AN ENTIRE WINTER SUIT, ‘or that matter, a place in his trunk; and the con- sequence was this morning that the majority of dhe gentiemen visitors went about in their wer gear, looking for all the world as though they ud just been taken out of an ice house after an hour or two’s involuntary sojourn among the ice blocks. I know of one gentleman who came here ‘two weeks ago with a big Saratoga trunk contain- ‘ng not less than two dozen suite, every one of which was of duck. Early every morning on the Plavze Or at the races he was wont to burst into View in aii the immaculateness of @ fresh suit of mate ‘ ped Med wen her was alittle warm i -4 r Fareuens, eiectable young man was simost as A COLD AIR BATH, He always seemed so much at uy eage, so comfort ‘NEW YORK HERALD, FRIDAY, AUGUST 15, 1873—WiTH SUPPLEMENT. ae — “sf skers were sweltering and complain- aeat; and I think the rascal knew it, warm he red promenading, in the pias? ‘up and down the au do for an nour or two at m 42 this U1 ) im white, when nine-tenths fentiemen were in dark attire, When SRST ER out on the jAZZ88, well wrapped up their overcoats, buttoned to the chin. He didn’t walk much on the piazza to- day, I noticed, and, as he disappeared very sud- denly after breakfast, 1 have a strong suspicion that he spent the whole day in bed, at least tocked 4 in his room. This I concede was not a neces- sity in order that he should have escaped the se- verity of the weather to which his dainty white clothes were not exactly suited, for there are any number of tailors in the village who cou!d have cheerfully furnished him with a heavy sult at city prices, Still, the suit would not, I confess, judging irom several of them that I saw worn to-day by hapless fellows who had to BUY OF THE VILLAGE GOOSE-WIELDERS, do to supply the Winter deticiency in their ward- robe; anita [suppose my friend of the plentilul duck deemed a day imprisonment in his own room referable by {gr to an exnibition of his manly form in clothes not “built” to make that form look per- fect.

August! THE POSTPONEMENT OF THE RACES on account of the storm does not seem to create any disappointment even among the betting men, and toe general verdict on Mr. Wheatly’s decision is “Weill done, thou good and faithful servant.” It is true that, when the postponement was first an- nounced, the gentlemen—at least those of them who will go to see arace, no matter if they have to wade knee deep through mud and water to do so—were actively preparing to start for the course. J actually saw several of the fair sex, too, wrapped in waterproots ready to £0, but 1 think, had the sport not been postponed, there would have been but very few of the ladies present. The rain would have been bad enough, truly, had the races taken place, even with a goodly gathering of gen- tlemen in attendance; but, if to the discomforts of the storm there had been added the absence of those pretty faces which have every day so far made the grand stand a sort of terrestrial paradise for mreentleriey to roam through, the day would in- deed have been a very gloomy one at the course, If the weather should be fine the races that were bookea for to-day will take place to-morrow, aud on Saturday the racing season will close as far as Saratoga 1s concerned, A FULL DRESS BALL. We had a full dress ball at the Grand Union last night, which was attended very numerously by the lady visitors at the Union and from the other hotels. In point of attendance and the general brilliancy of the scene I think Mr, Breslin can safely fatter himself into the conviction that he man- aged to get up the most elegant bali of the season, ‘As the affair was given asa benefit to Mr. Lander, who wields the baton o! the Union orchestra, it is needless for me to add that the music was mag- nificent. Gilmore, the leader of the orchestra of the Grand Union, takes a benefit on Friday night, and it promises to be a bumper. Effects of the Storm Along the Hudson. CORNWALL, N. Y., August 14, 1873, Rain! Not sifting gently down in the heat of an August day, nor glittering in the sunshine through- out that long distance intervening between the eye of the beholder and the far off distant bow. Not rain tender, gracious to cool the air, lay the dust and wake to bloom the parched and withered petals of the fowers. Not rain such as suddenly overtakes us in these Jonely mountain passes, wet- ting our new coats, dancing a lively little jig upon our new hats, and driving us indoors, after somany falls, If most hilarious and demonstrative govd humor;.not rain coming after patient watching, in answer to earnest prayers, whose advent even little children clap their hands to see, while the more speculative portions of humanity smile com. placently as their eyes wander over their reviving gardens; not rain such as this, but rain that is heavy, constant and unseasonable—rain which rattles upon the waves of the Hudson like hall amid cornfields, and which dashes against the shaggy breast of OLD CRO’-NEST until the trees upon its sides toss their green heads in wild and terrified confusion. The oldest inhabitant is utterly astonished, and declares that this thing is entirely without precedent. One cloud after another sweeps grandly up from .West Point, until the tempest lays open its side, when down comes the water in torrents. Eight thousand people, almost all of them New Yorkers, are caged indoors, and almost every one of these has his or her own opinion as to the cause of this fearful storm. It is grand. Great streams Tush down the mountain sides, carry turf and moss, Wild flowers and creeping vines upon their flood, until they tumble headlong into the Hudson below. For the moment every rock forms the summit of a precipice, over which the water bounds in hundreds of roaring falls. ‘The opposite bank of the river is undiscernible in the murky fog, while the wind rushing up through the gorges of the hills roars like a perfect hurri- cane. Imagine all these people thrown upon their own resources for their own amusement—and yet all these people are in the best of moods. Parlors are crowded and every window 1s filled with dainty and wondering faces; bright wood fires have been kindled in the grates of the hotels, and their draw- ing rooms are lull of youthtul figures. That element of humanity which prefers the mountain to the seaside is almost always quiet and good-natured, and the faces which make this element show less signs of fatigue and dissipation than those which we see upon the beach. Young and old alike crowd the halis, while ladies are grouped in gay little parties here and there, ventilating their wits in order to contrive means to pass the dismal day. It would be difficult to imagine a more satisfied and jolly set ot people than we see before us in the parlor of our present temorary abode—every one 1s either laughing, talking, telling a story or essayingapun, Now and then, at some unusually brilliant flash of wit, the whole crowa bursts into a roar, until it really becomes dificult for an outsider to imagine that most of these persons planned picnics, sails on the river, waiks in the mountains and drives over the hills for to day, and that ail are rendered victims of the weather. At Poughkeepsie. POUGHKEEPSIE, N. Y., August 14, 1873. A violent rain storm commenced here at daylight this morning, and still rages with great severity. This is the first heavy rain since March last. As yet no damage is reported. All the trains on the Hudson River Railroad are running on time, Great Rain Storm Near Philadelphia. PHILADELPHIA, August 14, 1873, The amount of rain which fell in the late storm in this section exceeded seven inches, More than three feet of water is now passing over the dam at Fairmount. The first foors of the mills at Mana- yunk are flooded and business there is partially Suspended. In tne city @ boy was rescued with dificulty trom drowning, near the mouth of a cul- vert, and John L. Major was drowned while at- tempting to rescue his horses from a stable which was flooded. A Fall of Ice—fhree Children Killed and Four Injured by Lightning. Sr. Maky’s, Pa., August 13, 1873, A portion of Cameron county, Pennsylvania, was visited by a severe storm on the afternoon of the 12th instant. At Emporium the cloud with the usual accompaniment of lightning, thunder and wind made its appearance at five o'clock. Rough, jagged pieces of ice, about the size and shape of the ordinary “stove coal,’ some of them weighing upwards of two ounces, fell fast and furious, rattling about the heads of those of the citizens who happened to be exposed to them, causing them to flee precipi- tately Jor shelter. The storm came from the north, and the violence of the wind was such as to cast the ice pellets with damaging elfect to the glass on “that side of the buildings. The air was thick wiih the whirling and fying particles, and the roar, as they rattled on roofs, awnings and — sidewalks, was described as deaening. Several horses took fright and ran, being unable to face merciless iting, and although th Le were badly broken, no injury to life or limb 18 on record. Much damage was done to rut trees and growing crops, tae peculiar ed shay of the icy grapeshot cutting like a knife. Such an unusual storm was never known in this vicinity before, At Earlyville, a small settlement in Elk county, during a severe storm two children of Mr. Lusk were instantly killed by lightning and two others, it is feared, fatally injured. A child of Patrick Quinn was killed, and two other children, names not ascertained, were mjured—all by the game stroke. They were aged trom eight to thirteen years and had taken retuge under a tree almost in signt of their homes when the fatal bolt descended. Much sympathy is ex- pressed for the afflicted families, who are nearly frantic with grief at the sad disaster which has brought serrow and desolation to their homes. Electrical storma have been unusually frequent at) severe im this locality for some weeks past. Along the Eastern Coast, New Bepporp, Mass,, August 14, 1873. A heavy easterly gale and rainstorm have pre- vaUed here for several houra. * Afshipg smack which arrived here early this morning reports that it was exceedingly rough in the bay. The "8 wee steamers have not made any trips and their deing so is douptful. High Wind and Heavy Rain at Boston. Boston, August 14, 1873. ‘The rain storm commenced here at eight o'clock this morning, with @ strong northeasterly gale. Disasters on Lake Erie. CLEVELAND, Onto, August 14, 1873. About ten o’clock last night the lumber barge J. D. Morton, Captain Peter A. Fick, one of #ix in tow of the steam barge Sun, broke from the tow about twenty miles down the lake from this city and in @ short time went to pieces, the lake being very Tough. Captain Fick, his wife and little girl, and one seaman, took to the small boat, and were saved by the schooner Marysburg and brought to this port. Two scamen, Jesse Maloy, ‘of Sarnia, and Jehn Kennedy, irom near London, Ontario, preserred re- maining, ‘on the barge, and, it is supposed, were drowned. The J. D. Morton had on board 250,000 feet of lumber, and was bound trom Saginaw to Erie. When last seen, Captain Fick says, two or three other barges were laboring heavily and it may be that other disasters have occurred to the same tow. The Storm in Maryland. BALTIMORE, August 14, 1873. The rain storm which commenced in this vicin- ity on Tuesday night raged with unexampled fury. Last night the streets in various parts of the city were submerged and a large number of cellars flooded. Jones’ Falls overflowed, and a portion of the old flooded district was again inundated. The water in some places was four and five feet deep, but in no instance reached above the first floors of dwellings. The utmost con- sternation prevailed for a time among the dwellers in Harrison and adjacent strects; but about one o’clock this morning the waters sub- sided. All the railroads running to this city nave been more or less red, and the detention of the mails has been general than on any pre- vious occasion for ye Un the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad last night small land slides occurred at Red Cut and Vinegar Hill, and a wash at Elk Ridge ed which threw the Cincinnati express, bound West, off the track. The train was not damaged. The St. Louis express, due here at ten o'clock P. ., Was delayed at the same point. A culvert was washed out and one or two minor washes took place between Elk Ridge land- ing and Annapolis Junction, There were two land slides on the main stem west of the Relay House, between there and lilchester, and minor breaks between Illchester and Point of Rocks. “The Wash- ington branch was in running order at ten o’clock this morning. Mr. Sharp, the transportation mas- ter, states that the aggregate loss to the road will not be heavy, and that the main line will be in running order by five this P. M, The track at Savern station, on the Baltimore ann Potomac Railroad, is submerged, delaying all rains. The officers of the Northern Central Railroad state that their road is not affected by the storm. In consequence of the bursting of a portion of the Harford tunnel, between twelve and onc o'clock this morning, the dividing walls of the dwellings Nos, 270 and 272 Bood street gave way, causing the destruction of two back buildings, All the kitchen and dining room furniture were precipitated into fhe stream. The inmates barely escaped with their ves, The county bridge over the turnpike at Elk Ridge Landing was washed away, during the storm last night, carrying with it five wires of the Western Union Telegraph Company. Business is not, how- ever, interrupted, THE STEINHARDT SHOOTING, The Past History of the Culprit—Evi- dences of Hereditary Traces of In- sanity. Several theories are current respecting the motive of young Steinhardt in the late Vesey street shooting. His relatives still deny that there was any dificuity, other than has been revealed, between him and Mr. Schonlank. They hintata tendency to insanity in the young man, and that will be the defence in case he recovers and is brought to trial. Two or three years ago, it is al- leged, Steinnardt, who had been a spendthrift and an idler, was ejected from his home by his father. Fora year he travelled about, getting temporary employment in Chicago and other Western cities. At last he turned up in Louisville, where he has relatives. While there, for the purpose of annoying his father, he caused the report to be telegraphed to New \ork that he had been killed in an affray with some roughs in a barroom. The hoax was not discovered until his object had been ac- complished, and his family had been plunged into the deepest grief by his supposed dis- graceful death. mania tor suicide, in- citable by trouble or any mental excitement, seems to exist in the family. A daughter of Mr. Benja- min Steinhardt, the iather of Ephriam, poisoned herself nearly two years ago. Upon learning that she had become engaged to marry a young man whose poverty § was in_ contr with her own weulth, the father exer- cised his authority rather peremptorily, and the engagement was broken off. A short time afterward, in compliance with her father’s selection, she married. Altera few months of un- happy married lite she swallowed a fatal dose of Paris green. Two years ago a sister of Benjamin Steinhardt, living in Louisville, also committed suicide. Mr. Steinhardt now lies very sick at his residence, at Madison avenue and Sixty-fifth street, and has not yet been able to see his injured son. A RAILROAD ACCIDENT. Eleven Cars Burned and a Fireman Killed. PHILADELPHIA, Pa., August 14, 1873. An engine attached to a coal-oil train on the Penn- sylvania Railroad ran off the track near this city last night, setting fire to the cars, eleven of which were destroyed. The engine lies buttom upward ina pond. The engineer was badly injured, ‘The amount of loss by the burning of the coal-oll train last night is $15,000, The body of Robert Black, the fireman, was found beneath the engine ee pond in which it had ran after leaving the track, RAPID SEA VOYAGE BY A SAILING VESSEL. Baru, ME., August 14, 1873. The new ship Sterling, Captain Baker, built by E. R. Sewall, reported arrived at Liverpool, August 9, made the passage from this port to St. Stephens, N. B,, in twenty-four hours, and from thence to Liverpool in seventeen days, DOCK MATTERS. The Dock Commissioners met yesterday after- noon, Mr. Westervelt in the chair, The Executive Committee reported that the communication of the Board of Healthin regard to the removal of the dumping ground from the foot of Vesey street had been duly considered, and that they recom- mended to place it on file, as no further action was deemed necessary. The report was adopted. Repairs were ordered on several bulkheads and piers, and the Erie Railway was authorized to ex- tend the buikhead between piers 31 and 82 North River, and erect a sted thereon. Superintendent Turner was directed to erect a pier at the foot of Fifty-first street, North River, The owner of the small structures encumbering piers North River, were ordered to remove them. communication of the Board of Heaith requestin that the pier at the foot oi Thirty-eighth stree North River, be assigned to the officers of the Health Department, was placed on file, in consider- ation of the fact that Francis Swilt has now pos- session of the pier for the purpose of removing the offal and dead animais trom the city, A large number of petitions asking for permission to place sheds on piers, &c., were presented, and the meet ing then adjourned.

The Portland Fire. PORTLAND, Me., August 14, 1873. The wreck of the Dirigo was towed up this morn- ing and lies at the Franklin wharf. The hulk seems entirelely worthless. The machinery is standing upright, though rusted and somewhat broken. The boilers are broken in. There isa lot of spoiled coffee lying in the bow, but nothing about seems worth saving except vhe machinery and old iron. A Coal Oil Train on Fire. PaILaDELPHia, August 14, 1873, Shortly after five o'clock this morning a coal oil train on the Pennsylvania Railroad ran off the track into a pond near Mifflin street. The coal oil became ignited immediately after the mishap, and eleven cars, with their contents, were consumed, the loss of which will amount to $30,000.

HL HEAVY JEWELRY ROBBERY. Sr. Louis, Mo., August 14, 1873. A jewelry robbery of considerable extent has just come to light here, It appears that, about two months ago, John Sehuler and Clarence Swayne left the employ of Eugene Jaccard & Co., corner of Fitth and Olive streets, with whom they had served, one as salesman and the other as travelling agent, and opened a wholesale house in the in- surance building, corner of Olive and Fifth streets, directly opposite Jaccard’s store, Jaccard & Co., in examining their stock, discovered that a con- siderable amount of jewelry of various kinds had been abstracted. The matter was put into the sands of detectives, and yesterday morning several hun- dred dollars’ worth of jewelry, which Jaccard & Co, identified, was found ip the pawnbroker's shop of Samuei Keller, who stated that he had purchased it of Schuler. Schuler was arrested at his store, and, aiter being locked up several hours, acknowledged that he had stolen about four thousand dollars’ worth of property from Jaccard & Co, Swayne, who was known to be in Paducah, Ky., ‘was telegraphed yesterday, in Schuler’s name, to return home immediately on important business, ‘ived last night between ten and eleven ad Was arrested as he was getting off the cars and locked up. He had @ trunk with him, containing some ten thousand dollars’ worth of jewelry, none of which probably belongs to Jaccard & Co., as Schuler & Swayne have bee. constantly Feplen! hing their stock with the proceeds of the sale of the stolen goods.
