OYSTERMEN COUNT LOSS. Find the Storm has Washed Away Many of their Bivalves. REPARING THE DAMAGE Will get the Sanded Lots Cleaned as Soot as Possible so as to Save the Oyster: —Market Continues Good with th< Cool Weather—Might have Beer Worse. Oystermen now begin to realize the foil extent of the damage done by the storm. They have had opportunity tc go outside and examine their beds and report considerable loss. The waves did much damage particularly by sand. Others find that the oysters have been washed away to a great ex , tent. All have suffered and some oystermen declare they will lose about half of their plant. The planters hope to save most ol their sanded oysters. By sanded, il is explained, they mean the storm has covered the beds with a coating ol sand, burying the bivalves. If left in this condition for any length of time they will soon smother. The oyster men have already commenced to dip them out. There must, necessarily, be a loss, however, aside from the extra labor. One oysterman who is about to take up his oysters finds a large number ol seed oysters washed upon his lot. He is at a loss they to know where they come form, but have evidently been washed from some other lot where they have recently been planted. With all their loss, the longshore men say it might have been worse, and are hard at work repairing the damage. As long as the cool weathei continues the market is good and thi planters are taking advantage of it. SOUTH APPROACH HAS BEEN STARTED.

Result of Storm’s Effect on Shipp ing—Declare that Horseshoe is no Protection. — Atlantic Highlands, Sept. 22.—Since the storm damage of Wednesday hae been footed up—and that was not possible till yesterday— an agitation uu» ueeu hiuriu'i in ltivui ui unu^uin about the erection of a breakwater. Nothing short of such a precaution, it is arguod, will serve to prevent the fury of the elements working havoc to the shipping hereabouts as well as to beach property. It is only within the past twenty four hours that detailed intelligence of the storm caused wreckage began to reach here. Just before the storm broae a fleet of about thirty large fishing schooners, with crews each of six or more, and a number of power clam boats from the Highlands went into the Horseshoe for safety as is their custom during a storm. But this proved to be no protection this time. Most of the boats broke from their cables and seven of them washed up on shore, and two wore battered to pieces against the old Sandy Hook dock and sunk, the crews having a narrow escape from drown ing.

Editor Evening News: Being asked my opinion on the Westminster question, I will give it as follows: The Belle of the day, Miss West minster, Is being courted considerably now Who ever would think she’s a spinster, The way they now do to her bow. The citv itself, wants to buy her And sayB; She is a relic, sure, She never did tramp in the mire, But was always so white and so pure. It’s a shame she Bhould go on the market Like in old “ante bellnm” days And, with blnsheB, beooming the target Of the speculators unloving ways. But in order to bny, you neod money, And the oitv has none of it now, But they all say, “Good gracious honey 1” They’ll trust us till Doomsday, my love. So the cry is just now, “Bond the Oity,’’ For all she is worth, Hurrah! Float or sink, wo’ll all sing the ditty, “Who cares bo long we got West minstra. ’’ Not being an antiquarian or relic hunter, I do not believe in bonding the city, in order to purchase the old Westminster, as long as we do no! need to. We oan not afford at present, to deal in antiquities, but must face the cold duties of the present day and we should arrange matters so, thal the taxpayers will not be burdened too heavily.

We all know that the building is not adapted for a school house, and as far as a park is concerned, give us one that is more centtally located. Sure, it is the poor people that need a park most. The rioh have their own yachts and their parks and gardens around their dwellings, which the poor are deprived of. That section of the city has its park already. Parks are a blessing, but let us have them in other sections of the city, more accessible to the masses.
