4 THE RECENT STORM Its Effects in the City and Vicinity. Loss of Life and Damage to} Property. SUDDEN BAROMETRIC CHANGES. Another furious rain storm, the third within a week, swopt the city and saburus during Tuesday night and early yesterday morning. The rain tellin torrents, ‘aud was blown with irresistible force im heavy dritts before a violent gale. Commeneing in its full force about nine o'clock at mght, the storm continued with slight intermission until about daybreak. The rain coursed down in boiling streams from the housetops | and poured in floods along the streets during the night as if the waters of the river had been let loose upon the city. Any one who did not actually feel the fury of the wind which drove the drenching rain before it, can readily imagine with what an almost incredible rap:dity the channels of relief were overcharged and the sidewalks covered, Wherever precautionary steps had not been taken the | Storm left distinct traces of its passage over tne city. | For halfan hour before the rain storm began in earnest the wind blew furiously, banging loose shutters with loud repor. Down town, where the telegraph wires from all over the city converge toward the main offices, the driving wind howled mournfully. A notable feature of the storm was the suddenness with which itstruck the city. While it was by no means an unexpected visitor, few thought it would come so suddenly. The barom eter, which had gradually fallen for some hours, varied with peculiar rapidity at one time, Between eleven and twelve o’clock it recorded 29.3} inches, anda few | minutes afcerward, with a bound, 1t went up one-tenth ofan inch, showing that the air had become suddenly denser, As suddenly it dropped back again to about 29.36 inches. At the same moment that this move- ment of the barometer was noticed ail the gas through- out the city was seen almost to die out avd not to ro- | turn for some minutes thereafter to its ordmary | brightness, This circumstance fs accounted for on the theory that the electric commotion then disturbing the Atmosphere had momentarily deprived it of its proper measure of oxygen. The following diagram shows the course of the barom- tter during the storm:— BAROMETRIC OSCILLATION AT 11 MaKcu 28, 1 inches. Ov.a. 10rM. Ilew. { PY, M. ON TUESDAY, The storm was first noticed far to the westward, and it travelled toward us at the rate of thirty miles an | hour, Not only were swinging signs, shutters and awnings carried away by the gale in its passage, but roofs were blown off, and even houses that previously considered safe, substantial structures were laid in ruins. But the ravages of the storm were still greater in the suburbs. The wrecks that mark its pas- gage are seen on every sido, Trees that have been dlown down lie across the roads and path- ways, The frames of unfinished houses were overturned, and houses lying in low quarters were cut off from access by the floods that surrounded them. Tho money damage caused by the storm cannot readily be estimated and it will take no little time to repair the injuries done to private prop- erty. Apart from this view of its effect the incon- venience and discomfort to the public generally cannot tasily be overstated, In Brooklyn several houses were blown down, one trushing in the ruins three of its unfortunate inmates, Some buildings in course of erection were blown down and the roofs of several other buildings carried off. ‘The storm assailed Staten Island about the same time it struck New York and resembled a tornado in its force, The following reports of the storm were made to Superimtendent Walling yesterday by the various Cap- tains of Police:— Shortly before nine o’clock yesterday morning the front of the unfinished four story brick building No. B48 East Seventy-sixtn street fell to the ground, Although no person was injured considerable excite- mont was caused in the neighborhood, many believing that a catastrophe had occurred. The crash of tho failing wall resounded with mach force. The rain ot the night previous .having loosened the mortar, the first gale caused the fall, Fe A tree in front of No. 5 Washington place was blown own, The telegraph pole at the corner of 100th etreet and Second avenue was blown down and the wires wero broken, A large fence in the rear of Gibson’s building on Thirteenth street, near Third avenue, was blown down. Several windows were broken on Third avenue, A number of fences and old trees in different parts of the city fell beiore the gale. FATAL ACCIDENT. Aone story frame house in Dean street, near Roches- ter avenue, Brooklyn, was blown down toward morn- ing, burying in the ruins the cccupauts, who were in bed at the time, The house was occupied by a colored man named Elijah Benedict, with bis wife, son aud daughter. The littic house was built on spiles, and was located in a hollow formed by the cutting through of the thoroughiare. While the storm raged fearfully the heavy wash caused by the flood of rain, combined with the force of the wind, overturned the house and smashed it into a pile of ruins. An alarm Was at once sent tothe police precinct, No, 1,608 Fulton avenue, and the Sergeant in charge went with his reserves to the scene of the disaster, They rescued Benedict as soon a8 possible from the wreck, and be wag found to have been only slightly tnjured, His little daughter was the next one rescued, and she, too, was not much injured, The lives of tho lather and daughter had been saveu by a fortunate ac- cident, The shock threw them out of the bed, and the falling beams formed a protection to them by slanting | over them, Mrs, Bundics was found dead. She was about to become a mother withina short time. The little boy was the last removed, not quite dead, but so erushed by the débris that he died while being coi veyed to the station house. The Coroner was prompt summoned to igvestigate the manuer in which the vi lims met their death, and on his arrival a jury was em- panelled, who, afier ‘viewing the body, adjourned the Inquest until next week. : Another building in the same street was also @estroyed—ihe two y frame house in course of erection at No, 1,729 Dean street, owned by Bartholo- mew tooney, The owner places his joss at $500. The storm swept the roofs oif three other m houses, not cuite dnished, near Reid avenue, between Falton avenne and Broadway, Brooklyn, The damage | to these is estimated at about $1,000. A small two story frame Louse in Ralph avenue, Brooklyn, was also damaged by the storm to the ex- lent of $175. Another building, two stories high, in the same ave- Que, was destroyed, causing $500 damage. In Staten isiand the storm broxe down quite anum- ber of trees, overturned grape arbors, destroyed fences, and even blew over wagous, A carriage, the property Of a brewer in Stapleton, was several times rolled over and destroyed. A new house in Edgewater was blown from its foundation, and a canal boat at the Stapleton dock, loaded with iron ore, was sunk, the crew barely escaping with their lives. AN JERSEY CIty. The gale swept with great violence over Jersey City. Severa) accidents occurred but only one ‘ile was lost. ‘Trees were torn up apd many houses more or jess in- Jered, and in general the eflects were the same asin | ‘other places around New York, Wil u obie and Anne Curtis were blown over. board from a i boat lying off Stearns’ dry dock, ir the Central Katlroad depot at Communtyp iT great exeriions on the part of boatmen who wit. occurrence, Nobie was rescued in an shausted condition, but the girl was lost, rt summer boarding house tn course of erection, 126 feet by 25, with a wing 60 feet by 32, at Ocean Grove, N.

M. yesterday, as the Fulton ferryboat Fulton was nearing the shpon the Brooklyn side, the pilot observed the pilot boat No. 13 coming down the river under a full press of canvas, as Over’ none foot since morning | Sho was insured for $50,000 in | though about to cross the track of the Fulton, He | blew the whistle several times, as a warning to the ptlot boat to change its course, but no notice was taken of the cautionary signal, and the crash came. The bowsprit of the pilot boat dashed through the rear ot the men's cabin of the Fulton, through that portion known as the hood, tearing away the planking and three windows and scattering the splinters in every di- recuon. Part ot the root and stanchions were also demolished, Mr, Joho Martin, of No, 361 Clinton avenue, who was standing in the after part of the gen- Uemen’s cabin, was struck by a piece of glass on the head and severely cut. An unknown man Was also cut on the face by a splinter, while one or two others re- ceived scratches, It fortunately happened, however, that nearly all the passengers on that side of the boat were in the forward part at the mom the Fuiton was nearing the Brooklyn slip, were about 800 passengers en board at the time. In the ladies’ cabin, when the crushing of planks and glass, accompanied by the sudden lurch of the boat occurred, the wildest confusion and screaming pre- vailed, but th the Fulton reac! dos about $1,000, ithe slip, The damage to the pilot Her bowsprit was carried away and ber vo tarted badly.

THE HIPPODROME CONVENTION. ME. MOODY INSTRUCTING THE MINISTERS HOW TO WoRK. Yesterday was a remarkable day at the Hippodrome. it was the first day of the Christian Convention, and there were delegates present from nearly every Stato in the Union. The meeting commenced at ten o'clock inthe morning and continued, with but two hours intermission, till five in the afternoon. In the even- ing the regular services were held from eight till ten. At all the mectings the Madison avenue hall was packed» and in the evening the crowds that had to leave the doors for want of room inside would have filled another ball as large. The crushing and jostiing of those who were trying to gain admission at the main entrance was equal to that of the first night of Mr. Moody’s and Mr. Sankey’s appearance in New York, The Convention opened in the morning with a prayer by Rev. Dr. Ormiston, and after the singing of tho hymn, ‘I Need Thee Every Hour,” the venerable Dr. Plummer, of South Carolina, read a portion of the Seriptures, Mr. Moody followed him, and stated the object of the Convention. 1t was to promote Christian work throughout the country, and it was his intention during the two days they would be together to discuss the best means of doing that work, The tirst sulyect to be taken up was “Evangelistic Services—How to Conduct Them.” He said; —‘'l have not asked anybody to speak to-day, but I want you all to ask questions In every church there are three kinds of services—worshipping God, teaching and preaching. In preaching you must interest people. If one method won't work try another. If you want sue- cessful meetings you must have more life, Interest people in your congregation, wherever it may be, to work themselves, The reason that Jobn Wesley was so successful Was that he gave every one something to do—put every one at work, Some say that makes people spiritually proud. Well if they don’t work they eeotne spirituaily lazy, and I don’t know which is the worst,” (Laughter. ) Mr. Moody then called for questions, A gentleman in the centre of tho hall jumped to his fout aud said, “Would you advise the hoiding of special meetings when there is no interest??? “Certainly; that’s the way to get up an interest. God is ready any time, They don’t keep a calendar 1m heaven.” ‘A number of other questions flowed in from all parts of tho hall, and when ey could not be heard distinctly the audience would ery out, “Question! Question! and Mr. Moody would repeat them for the beneilt of the Among the questions were somo very pertinent. The following are the most important:— Q. Suppose the congregation of a church is alive, but | the minister 1s dead, how would you get up special | meetings’ A. Go on without the minister, Q But if difficulties arise in the church, how can you hold a revival? A. God can remove all difli- Q. Christ could not work im Nazareth, A, The troubie there was with the world, not with the church, Q If the pastor and some of the members want meetings, but the trustees object. A. Pray tor the trustees, In the first place don’t elect unconverted trustees. Q. If two or more members have scandalized the chureh, would you advise some church discipline be- | fore holding special service f A. Yes, certainiy; don’t have a single bad man amomber of the church, Q When there are two excitements going on ina place at a tiine—for instance, a political and a religious excitement—how would you act? A. I don’t know much about politics; that's a worldly matter und the world can take care of it; but I tell you what I do dread—that is these miserable church fairs, those ba- zaurs, (Loud laughter.) Q. Would you encourage preaching by women? A. Well, tnat is a controverted point. I won't touch that, Iknow that I shouldn’t want my wife to go around preaching. This ‘finished the first subject, and after prayer by Dr. Armitage and the singing of the hymn, “I Have a Saviour, He's Plouding in Glory,”” Mr, Moody took up the next subject, ‘OW TO CONDUCT PRAYER MERTINGS."? Ho said bofore hearing any questions he would make a few remarks. It was a subject of the greatest 1m- portance; for a man who can lead aprayer meeting | well is often more Successful than he who can preach, But let your prayers as well as your preach- ing be ‘short’ and to the point. Encourage alobbyist fora railroad stockholder. THESTATE CAPITAL The New York Salary Bill Passed in the Assembly. COMPTROLLER GREEN AGAIN DEFEATED. The Canal Board Bill Passed the Senate. . Auuaxy, March 29, 1870. The bill to empower the Caual Board to take up the thread of investigation dropped by the Canal Commis- sion finally passed the Senate to-day. The republican side appeared bent on so overloading the bill with amendments asto make it practically useless, for no better reason than depriving Governor Tilden of any share in the prospective glory the Board may win in its campaign against canal corruption. Mr, Cole offered an amendment, that wisely failed of adoption, to make the taking of testimony so tedious and cumbrous that the investigation of fraud would be like hunting for a needle in a bundle of hay. The bill passed, with the fourth section, enabling « committee of the board to conduct the investigation, stricken gut. The purpose of this amendment is to prevent the possibility of two members of the board who were on the late investi- gating commission trom being a majority of the sub- committee of three to whom it was supposed the work of investigation would be confided. VIRTUOUS INDIGNATION, There are several very virtuous gentlemen in the As- sembly this year, some of whom think that it Is an out- rage for any newspaper to criticise the doings of any member, no matter what he does or says. Ono of these members, apparently, is Mr. Hanson, democrat, from Fulton and Hamilton counties. Iam informed by one of the members of the Railroad Committee that “a ceftain member’’ came to him and urged him to introduce a resolution depriving the Henan corre- spondent of the privileges of the floor, on account of the course of the Heraup toward the committee since it reported adversely upon the “No Seat No Fare’? Dill, The member of the committee I allude to states that this indignant democrat himself had a bill before the committee, which was reported adversely, the same night that the ‘No Seat No Fare’ bill was reported. Now, a3 the committeo that night reported adversely upon four bills, two of which had been introduced by ‘Mr. Killian, one by Mr. Fallon and another by Mr. Hanson, and as Mr. Killian and Mr, Fallon deny that they suggested the resolution of expulsion, Mr. Han- son must be the party who urged the introduction of | the resolution, provided the statement of the member of the Railroad Committee is true, Mr. Hanson, it will be remembered, is the individual who introduced a resolution making certain charges against the Dela- ware and Hudson Canal Company, which was handed to him by a lobbyist. He is the same individual who made a great row about a railroad company charging $2a ton for transporting coal ten or twelye miles in his district, which statement was shown to bo up_ founded by the testimony given before the Railroad Committee by Mr. Heacock, the Presi- dent of the road, and the gentleman who had charge of the coal transportation. It might | be of beneilt to Mr, Hanson, in view of the apology he gave for having introduced the Delaware and Hud- son Canal Company resolution—namely, that the gen- tleman who handed it to him said he was a stock- | holder of the road—if a resolution were passed placing a special guardian over him during the session, so that he may not again mistake His anxiety to the members of your congregation to lead the prayer meeting and go around among them and ask them to | speak on certain evenings.

Dr. Fish, of Newark, to tell what he knew about ‘‘inquiry meetings.’ Dr, Fish said that | he thought the early part of his ministry was lost on account of the absence of the inquiry room, and for years he never had a meeting without an in- | guiry room. He intended to make it a steady thing. ‘uo his church the room was called the church parior: and alter service those who came were invited in Dest fitted for the work were instructed to sit down ulongside any who seemed in doubt and talk to them.

GREEN BEATEN AT ALL POINTS. The disposition of the Assembly to put their foot on every bill which Comptrolicr Green ts anxious to have passed and to pass every bill he is known to be op- posed to is becoming more and more manifest To-day he got tripped up in several measures. The Parade Ground bill was recom- mitted, and the bill whicn placed Fifth avenue under control of the Department of Parks was reported agamst and the Strahan bill, in relation to arrears of taxes in the city of New York, despite the Comptrol- ler's memorial, was passed by'a vote of 80 ayes, there being not a vote cast against it. In the opinion of many of the members the Fifth avenue bill was ap eminently proper one, and should have been reported favorably. jc this as it may, I mention the adverse report on it to show that even to support that measure the Comptroiler, through bis mts here, was unable to secure amajority of the Committee on Cities. Tho | Strahan bill passed to-day is not exactly the same as the Morrissey bill passed yesterda:; at any*time within one year It provides that filer the passage of the act any person in arrears in his ayments for taxes—real or personal— in New York may pay the amovnt of tax he owes to the Comptroller, with interest at seven per cent, to be calculated from the time that the tax was imposed to the time of the payment, The Comptroller, on pay- ment being made, must give a receipt in full and cancel the record of the tax, which shall then cease to ve a lien upon the taxpayer's property, It is the opinion of some of the members that this bill con- flicts with the Morrissey bill, which relates to the pay- ment of assessments imposed for local lowe winapi If it does, no doubt the Senate will straighten out the dificulty when the bill goes there for concurrence, But as the Morrissey bill deals with assessments exclu- ively, it is hard to see how there can be uny conflict between the two acts.
