Coney Island in In a state of wrock and ruin
inch a makes tlio liaoc wrought in provious
Miiona of storms look like child's iday.
'" ltoadt have be on ripped up, breakwaters torn
(e apart and oarrled out to pea and the furious
I,.) waters havo daubed up with such foroo at to
le. destroy part of the Marine llailroad at Drightou
ic. and to totally wreck the bathing pavilion.
c. An Evshdto WoiiU) reporter who visited tlio
island this morning had ocular proof of the dej
90 vastation wrought the people'B popular waturing
place.
The effects of tho itorm arc first seen at the
,e)l Junction of the road and the conconrse. Tlio
)g bcarr tar walk i torn and hai boen thrown
around. Chunks as large as a paving stone have
c. been waahod down to tho brink of th water and
totted around the beaoh like ao many fallen
10 leave.
Farther along, the tar road it split and
jn cracked in plaoaa, and great inatioi of It are
piled, no, one above the other, giving eloquent
proof or the foro of the breakors.
W A great cart of the road w buried out of tight,
and a little further along the trunk of a tree lies
30 half buried" hi tho sand. A hole in the ground
in twenty feet away thowa where it was ripped out
bythe foroe of the elements.
The post all J on st he boach have been ripped
" oat of their fastoniugs: tome have spilt in
twain ana the chains from polo to pole that
J8 formerly served as guards are twitted and
in broken.
The old breakwater of stone and stubble ha
been torn asunder and tho stuff thrown up on
ihobeaehin ashapolossmass, while part of it
ias been oarrled along the beaoh a dlstanoo of
ISO foet.
50 Hear the breakwater the sand ha boon washed
up by the ooean until at least eighty feet of
beaoh hat been added, but it is impossible to
build on this new ground, as it it only a question
JO of time when the waves will dash over it and
JO wash it all away again.
As the Urightou Hotel Is approached tho evl.
denoet of the horrible work of the waters are
more uotioeable.
A. breakwater here has been brokon and thrown
up in piles ten feet high, and the poles along the
walk at this point have been torn up and twitted
like to many toothpicks. About three lmndrod
feet from the Brighton Beach Elovntod Railroad
itatlon tho new ground ceates. At thts place
the wreokago is thrown up in an enormous pile.
The wavet have completely floodod tho grounds
of the Brighton Beach Kaolnir Association. In
fiont of the Ocean Hotel the sand has been
thrown up to a height of ten or fifteen feet, and
1 ing pell-mell, in all sorts of thanes.are bent
Bas-pipea, broken trees and other d5 In is.
The coffee stand which formerly stood about
fifty feet from the'walk is gone, and there is not
a trace of it left.
The big hotel at Brighton looks rather forlorn.
Mine Host Charles T. CnnuiuKham. who has
had chaise of the hotel for three years and is
practically reponsllle for its popularity, will
. not preside thero this year, and theie is said
" to be much dissatisfaction among theprospeo-
tivo guests. Sir. Cunningham will certainly be
'! missed at Brishtou, for he has been a very
la popular institution of the Beach.
41 .At this point traces of the Brighton road aro
entirely obliteratc.l. What has not boen washed
;JJ away is covered by sand and clam shells. All
J; the posts have been washed away.
.The station of the Elevated railroad running
ill from Brighton to the West End is a horrible
dj wrtok.tJThtairway has been swept away, the
.'root platform is missing and the spiles snp-
v porting the structure are in a weak condition
and liable to give way at any moment, tleverai
- I of them have already succumbed to the enqr-
I mous strain put upon them and the war of tho
elements, and nave broken off oloto to the
I Sfoupd.
I Th entire ttruoture Is In a very unsafe oondl-
I tion and will have to undergo a gTeai deal of re-
pairing before trains can be run with any de
gree of safety.
, The beaoh In front of the Brighton Hotel has
been eaten away until only about 40 feet of it
remalus in front of the lawn.
The ground on the side of the hotel towards
tho fireworks inclosure is also in a very bad con
dition. The walk loading to the inclosure is in
5 a rickety way and Is piled up with wreckage.
Probably the greatest wreck on tho island It
the Brighton Bathing Pavilion. It was formerly
about two hundred and fifty feet in longth.built
on spiles. The centre part of it is all that is left
now. the wings having yioldcd to the wavei.
The apilei have been broken off short, and even
the part of the building that remains ttanding
It in a dangerous condition.
, The platform of the Marino Railroad which
formed part of the pavilion is also gone, and
about one hundred and fifty or two hundred
feot of the railway has gone with it. Tho piles
supporting the railroad ties wero broken off
into splinters, and the tracks and ties are now
I burled in the sand. The timbers floated around
for a time and were the means of doing greater
' damage. Fully one-fifth of the railway is to-
tally destroyed by the waves.
-T Great damage is also reported at Manhattan
Beach. The great storm has torn up the walks
in front of the hotel, oarrled away part of the
music stand and seriously damaged the bathing
pavilion.

4 ' Deo. i, 188, the front door of a small house
' . in h itreet near Bloomebury Hquare waa
' opened cautiously and a gentleman came out
j and walked briskly away in the dlreotion of
A Charing Cross. Tr.e policeman on duty was
up at the top of the street, ond he remem

, ' other inmates, who might be asleep. It waa
till dark nt the time, and tho policeman, who
d was turning the corner, just caught sight of
ne man ooming out, and that was all.
si At 8 o'clock a nervant girl rushed to the
j door of the same house and soreatned " Mur

night.
"I am a doctor," he. said, and accom

upon the scene, he followed the distracted
girl into the house.
As soon as they had entered the door was
olosed in the face of the now rapidly increas

forward to ascertain detail of the tragedy.

by the servant, made their way to a front

agony. It wanted but a glance to see that
the poor creature had been foully murdered.
The bed clothing was saturated with blood,
which bad evidently oozed from a terrible
wound in her breast.
A short examination was sufficient for the
doctor. "She has been stabbed to the
heart," he said. "There wasn't much of a

YThtr th light of early morning alway

I oan see the roomy barnyard, with it tow'rlng
stack of straw,
The cattle, and tho swallow In the eaves,
The spacious old barn floor, and through tho
open door
Bee tho chickens scratching 'round among the
leaves.
I can see the mossy well, with 'Its bucket and its
sweep,
The bonch upon the poron bv the hack door,
The ttep-ttnnea white and g'ay and in placet
worn away
By feet long tlnco nruwu weary, at i est forover-

Th large, old-fashioned kltohon, with it fire

Th floor kept white by patlont, tolling hands.
The small and darkened parlor wrier silent

When death at laat bad loosed the silver bauds.
But that dear, old-fashioned kitchen! what a
oharin for all it had,
When the ttormt of Winter beat against the
panel
How we gathered "round the fire and piled tho
wood on higher,
Til It reached th Iron kettle on the orane.
Thero was mother bythe table mending stook
Ing for her boys.
Here was father o'er hi paper half aalsep.
And old Watch upon tho hearth with his
note between his pawt.
Giving now and then at all of us a poep.
In tho shining oandlestlok burnad the home
made tallow dip.
With tho tnufftri lying near upon a tray.
And their tottandmellow light, blended with the
flames so bright
In the flreplaoe, made the kitchen light as
day.
How tho Iron kottle sang, as the name oaressed
its sido,
Filling with its oosy sound the ears of all,
And within the glowing ooalt what strange pic
tures did unfold.
While our shadow danoed grotesquely on the
wall.
What cared we for sleet or snow let the winds
of Winter blow I
'For as sailors in a storm-defended bay
Wake to hear the angry main roar afar, then
sleep again.
In that harbor on life' ocean we were gay.
With apples from the cellar and elder in the
pitcher.
With ourselves and all the world wo felt at
peace.
While tricks and games we played, but we loved
the best of all , ,
The good old-fashioned game of' "Fox and
Geese."
Through the toll of wintry day how our thoughts
would often stray
To the pleasant hour In (tore when night
should fall.
And to us the picture bright, made the burdens
seem moro light.
And with strength and ' courage tilled tha '
heart of all.
Oh I i long to stand once more within the open
door.
Where I spent the bright, hours I ever
knew.
For that dear old-fashioned kitchen in the farm
house on the hill.
Is the dearest scene that memory holds to
view.
Oh, that dear old-fashioned kitchen 1 how my
heart to it doth turn

And in fancy still I tee soeneB and faces dear to

York. .Miss Hawtiiorupis still playing at the
Princess's Theatre in London, In support of
Wilson Barrot in " Nowadays.''
. .
Tho American rights for "Nowadays," by tho
bye, aro owned by T. Henry Fieucli, who seems
to get all the good things. ' ' Nowada u " is said
to he a very utiong nlay, with a stirring racing
scene. That settles it.
The " Llttlo Lord Fatiutleroy " tmer. instead
of derreastng. Is increasing. A weird little man
bearded a manager in his den yesteidav and
wanted to know if, provided he guaranteed that
the manager should not be Intirruptod or en.
iolned, he would handle another "Little Lord
"suntloroy" company. He declared that Mrs.
Hodgson Burnett leally had no rights In her
own play, and that even if she had the rights
she had no lawyer. The distinction between
" meuin " and " tuuui " iu the theatrical profes
sion Is absolutely nil.
...
This "Fauntloroy" fever makos lots of fun.
Yesterday tho rumor spread that Wesley Blsson
had the rights for Italy, M. B. Leavltt for
Japan and Harry Bockwood for the Handwich
Islands.
...
Fiederic do Belleville has been engaged to
play the leading part in " Hands Across tho
Bea." It is said to l.e a part of great strength,
suited to that style of acting that was made
famous by the late Charles It, Thome. In Bos
ton, when produced nt tho Museum, the part
will be played by Jack Mason.
Mansfield's lease of the Globe Theatre In Lon
don runs up to Dec. K. He may remain during
the intervening time. The production of
"Richard IIP. "has received great praise and is
a success. Mr. Mansfield, however, must pack
the Globe Theatre every night in order to re
oover the enormous amount of money Incurred
by the production.

Tha murdered lady was n lira. Clowburv.
She was the wife of Mr. (leorce Clowhury. a

The Insneottir looked aver tbe notes he had -9H
tuhen, nud thoucbt tbe matter over to him- .LDaH
self. So far as was known tbe house wa 1Sr99
olused at 11 o'clock with only these two fflH
wouion iu it. There were no signs of tha '
premises bavins been entered in the night, Um
but at 8 o'clock the next morning one of tha iHI
two inmates was found murdered. ' traa
Tho Inspector had, of coarse, duly
cautioned the u'rl before letting ber make
statement, hut be was convinced from .the lH
first that Bbo was perfectly innocent of tha jH
crimo. There was no sign of any thing having 'Bl
been taken. Tbe poor woman's ffold watch "TH
mid chain and her rings were still on the mSU
llttlo diesslni; table. It was no midnight 'j?P1
rubber who had douo tho deed. But it had 'froM
been done, and home one must have entered jH
tho house to do it. , Wl
Whilotholuspcttorwaa thlnkinc Ihe cir- .M
ciimstauees ovor in order to provide himself jg
with a tboory, n messenger arrived from the VBj
stntiun. The inaii who wus on night duty UP
had beeii couiuuiuicuted witb, and he had fBJ
f liveu tho valuable piece of information that 4
le bnd seen n man leaving tho house at 6.S0, M
but could not suv wbut he was like owing to m
the dnrkuess. The only other person he
uoticcd iu the street was a woman who was Qt
passing on tho opposite hide of the way. M
" Tho mu was tho murderer," said the In. tie
spector to himself. " He "was seen to eo out, jjj
but bow did be get in ?" jSt
Before trying to devldo the nuestion the 3g
Inspector returned to tho scene of crune. Ha
looked carefully about the room, but there iM
wasn't it scrap of anything that would senra W
him us a clue. When he had finished hut
search he drow ihe bed curtains back to hava m
ouo more look at bis victim. As ha did so bis 9V
