Now Brunswick, Sept. 17.—The
Board of r*reotiolders, yesterday, at a
furtnei; hoaring given upon the matter
of a ffanchiso for the right of way of
the bentral Jersey Traction Company
over the Cheescqnake bridge, took up
he ordinance by sections and adopted
i " it and then ordered it engrossed for a
third hearing at the first meeting in
October. Lawyer Silzor, for the com
pany, said they objected to only one
or two things. They desired the surety
bond reduced from $10,000 to $5,000
and asked the board to let them have
ho If flirt onxr nc fn f.hn bind nf hridtrn
that should bo built when a now one
was put up, inasmuch as they were to
pay half. He said the board should
uot deal with them harshly as they
had saved the county $5,000 in grading
in their fixing up the road between
Keyport and the bridge tor a width of
fifty feet which the board would soon
make a county road. They had also
raised the grade of the approach to
the bridge which was before under
water at every high tide.
The board declinod to reduce the
amonnt of the bond but did agree to
remove the forfeiture clause in tiie
section where the board declared that
unless the company repaired.the bridgo
when required thoy would do it and
collect from them and if they failed
to settle within ten days that their
rights would be forfeited. Solicitor
Willis said this bill’could uot be col
lected under sueli circumstances. The
board then agreed to take the matter
up in Ootober for final passage.
The board will meet bore on Sep
tember 2ii at 1 o’clock to confer with
Jthe Somerset county board over the
^^■bnilding of a road to Franklin Park.

When the Sylph weighed anchor the
skies were dark nnd Sbrblddlug, and as
the vessel drew out of the bay a light
rain fell. Less than an hour after the
Sylph had entered Long Island sound

ATLANTIC CITY, N. J., S. pt.'.U.
The tropical storm which struck the
New Jersey coast was one of the se
verest experienced for « long time. The
wind blow with hurricane force and
while it lasted kept up a speed of sev
enty miles an hour. The storm was
terrifying to a degree, but the damage
was not ns grent ns at first was be
lieved. A conservative guess places
the entire damage at $25,000 or $30.
000. The telegraph and telephone lines
leading out of the city are down, and
the fact that the city was cut off fro:n
connection with the outside world
started wild rumors that the great re
sort had been entirely swept away.
Great damage was done along the
board walk, where the one story pa
vilions suffered to a considerable ex
tent. The storm’s fiercest attack was
made on the MeClay apartment build
ing nt Fncifle nnd South Carolina ave
nues. The roof was more than half
torn off, entailing a loss of $2,.">00.
The other largest damage was done
nt the Hotel Strand. situated on Penn
sylvania avenue, dose to the beach.
This hotel’s handsome brick nnd frame
I torch was completely ripped out and
demolished by the wind. Outside of
these places the damage otherwise con
sisted of broken plate glnss windows,
tin roofs curled up. awnings blown
down nnd trees uprooted, while in the
inlet district, nt the upper end of the
city, a number of boats were torn from
their moorings and sevcrul boathouses
were blown over.
The state camp nt Sea Girt was ex
pos<>d to the full fury of the storm.
Tents and flooring were lifted bodily
and carried over n hundred foot.
Big bulk windows gave way under
pressure of the storm, nnd pieces of
the glass flew in all directions. At this
point I)r. Richard Pancoast, aged sev
enty years, of Philadelphia, was blown
down by the wind on the board walk
nnd suffered a fracture of the hip. Hi'
was hurried to the City hospital.
Among the hotels whose roofs were
damaged In the storm was the Marl
borough, Metropolitan. Kuenhler, Ken
ilworth nnd Richmond. None was very
seriously damaged.
Railroad trains left on schedule time,
and a largo number of timid visitors
hurriedly left town. The 2 o’clock ex
press was the longest train out of this
city this season.
