IT? SWEEPS WITH, FRIGHTFUL VIOLENCD UP THE DELAWARE—HUNDREDS OF HOUSES DE- STROYED AND MANY FAMILIES RENDERED HOMELESS—-LOSS OF LIFS AND PROPERTY SERIOUS,

/sweeping np the Delaware this aflernoon, struck the city at New Greenwich Point, demolishing a portion of the works of the salt meunfactitring company, and injuring several employers. Then it took a course across the river, wrecking the river steamer Maj. Reybold and the ferry boat Peerless. The storm blew Pilot Townsend and Capt. Reybold into the river, drowning the form- er and paiufuily injuring the captain. The Peerless was swept. clean almoat to the water edge and a horse and wagon was hurled into the water and suuk, The storm then passed over to the Jersey side, striking John Dialogue’s shipyard and destroying ihe buildings of the establishment. Then it took a course along the New Jersey river front, demolishing all the buildings in its path up to Bridge Avenue, Camden. At this point the cyclone took an easterly course, sweeping the northern part of the city. Passing over the river, skjrhigg Petty’s Island, the storm passed over to a part of Philadelphia known as Richmond. In its ravages in Camden scores of dwel- ling houses wero unroofed and some blown down, and the damage to business property along the river front is enormous. Hun dreds of families are rendered homeless, and one victim was killed outright while another will probably die. The path of the storm through Richmond was marked with death and destruction. It struck almost due north from Port Richmond coal wharves. About 150 dwelling houses were wrecked or badly damaged, and 200 fami- lies were driven from homes. A uumber of poople were seriously and some fatally injured. It is possible that some of the passengers on the Peybold were swept overboard and lost, but no bodies have been recovered. As yet it is impossible to estimate the amount of damage done.

Sir Moses Montefiore. SCENES AT THE DEATH BED OF THE GREAT JEWISH CENTENARIAN—THE FUNERAL,

Sir Moses Montefiore died calmly, sur- rounded by relatives and friends, and conscious to the last moment. The Hebrew services were several times repeated to him, he giving answer correctly. His great anxiety was lest he should die and leave some good work uufinished through inad- vertance, and he several times asked his secretary and friend, Dr. Lowe, whether al! the work was done, moving his fingers at the same time to show he could still hold his pen to sign checks, After death his body was prepared according to the usual Hebrew custom, including the washing of the corpse by his eldest friends. For the last 24 hours the body lay in the coffin in a Hebrew dress,watched and surrounded con- stantly by friends, and with two candles burning at the head. No one was allowed to view the body after it was placed in the coffin.

At 2 o’clock the crowd was, with great difficulty, foreed back far enough from the porch to allow the friends and mourners to leave the house. Four priests of the Span- ish “Synagogue in London, with candles, headed the procession, chanting the Le- brew service. The coffin was carried by old friends of the deceased, who preceded the chief mourners, Mr. Sebay and Mr. Cohen, nephews of Sir Moses. Lord Roths- child, Roseberry and Dr. Loewe followed. Then came relations, friends and civic authorities of many towns, with troops and coast guards in the rear. For nearly a mile this procession marched from the house to the synagogue, through a lane lined by people of all classes and condi- tions, and having but one thought, which was to pay respect to the man so honored by religion and their town. As the coffin and mourners passed, the crowd scattered to find places on hills overlooking the grave and around the synagogue and tomb. So dense a crowd had gathered before the arrival of the procossion that for a time the advance was stopped. The coffin was

first taken to the Jewish school founded by Sir Moses. After a short service it was taken to the syna-

gogue for a few minutes, and thence to the tomb. The services included addresses by Sir Herman Adler and Dr. Lowe, with chanting by boys of the orphanage, which was particularly impressive. The coflin was then lowered in the place beside that of Lady Montefiore, and so placed thst the head rested upon a-stone brought from Jerusalem. In the coffin had been placed many relics of Lady Montefiore and the Holy Land, together with an account of the good works of deceased. Over the coffin, as the relatives and friends passed, each scattered a handful of earth from Rachel’s grave in the Holy Land.

By Fire and Water.

The steamer O'Kelly was burned to the water's edge one mile from Pembroke, Ont., on Saturday morning last. Three of the crew perished in the flames and one was drowned, having jumped into the water, and being unable to swim. Two of the others, who also took to the water, are very seriously burned but may recover. The names of the unfortunates are Louis Ricard, of Portage du Fort, Sidney Smith, ‘of Fitzroy harbor, John Gibson, of Deux Rivieres, and Kngilehart, of Pembroke. The seriously burnt are John Jeffrey and Aiex. Gauthier. The steamer had landed a tow of logs at the head of the rapids, about midnight, and went to a wharf to remain a few hours to give the mena rest, The fire is supposed to have originated in the engine room. The steamer was the property of 'the Upper Ottawa Towing Co., and valued pat $20,000, $6,000 of which is covered by insurance.

PHILADELPHIA, Aug 3.—A terrible cyclone |

Boston Markets.

Boston, Aug. 1.

Cuxuse—There has been a decided re- action in the Cheese market, and prices have declined at #: per ib. Trade is almost ,at a stand, and for the time being qne- | tations must be considered nominal, For the best New York 73s is all that can be quoted as 2 selling price, though few holders are willing to accapt that price for their finest stock. Good to choice rules at 7 to 7} per lb. Liverpool quotation 40s.

Eacs-—Strictly fresh Eastern Eggs are in good request and clean up readily at 15 to 15kc. Northern and Island command 14 io 145c. Marks net well known take a lower range. A large part of the receipts cre affected by the hot weather, and the shrinkage is very heavy. We quote :—P. E. Island 14c,

Fisu -- Receipts for the week at this port foot up 7,207 bbis, including 157 bbls trom foreign, and 7,050 from domestic ports and fleet. Upwards of 3,000 bbls included in the domestic receipts came from Bay fisher- men. This has been added to the New Eagland catch, which this week foots up to 27,69f bbls against 27,792 bbls for the cor- responding week last year. Total New England catch to date is 112,854 bbls against 111,318 bbls in 1884; and 48,214 bbls in 1883, The market continues de- pressed and prices are in buyers’ favor. Fare lots of Shore rule at $2.50 to $5 per bbl, with bbl. Inspected lots have been selling at outports at $2.50 to $2.75 for No 3; $5 to 5 25 for No 2; and $10 for Nol. Dealers are selling small lots at 50c to $1 per bbl in advance on above prices. Nova Scotia Mackerel are dull and nominal. There are no buyers at any reasonable price. Codfish are quiet and steady, with sales of large dry Bank at $3.50 to $3.75 per qtl, and pickle cured Shore at $3 124. Pickie cured Bank are nominally $3 per qtl, but very few selling. Canned Lobsters are firmer, and selling at $1.60 to $1.75 per dozen, duty paid.

The London Scandal.

Since the commission selected to hear tle testimony on which the Pall Mall Gazette based its terrible exposures has reported that the course of that journal in making the exposures was warranted, a number of mass meetings and conferences of religious bodies have also endorsed the Gazctte. Its editor has been proportionately lionized. Says a daspatch dated August 1 :—

The revelations have fairly convulsed the country. Immense meetings continue to be held daily throughout England, and the Wesleyan conference, at its session to-day, unanimously passed a resolution of thanks to the Gazette for the thorough manner in which it has performed its good work. Similar resolutions are adopted almost daily by bodies representing all sects and creeds. A meeting was held in Cannon street to- night to appoint committees and perfect other arrangements to organize a huge demonstration in Hyde Park, to take place in about a fortnight. Among those pre- sent, and foremost in promoting the object of the meeting, was Mr. William Stead, editor of the Pall Mall Gazette. Mr. Stead was introduced by the chairman, and was cheered for fully five minutes before he was able to make himself heard. When partial quiet was restored, Mr, Stead delivered a stirring speech, occupying about half an hour.

Widows of Ex-Presidents.

The death of General Grant leaves only two ex-Presidents of the United States among the living—Rutherford B. Hayes and Chester A. Arthur, and neither of them was elected to the presidency. Hayes climbed into it by a fraud that has stamped ineffacable shame upon his history, and Arthur succeeded to the presidency by the murder of Garfield.

There are now four widows of ex-Presi- dents living. Mrs. Tyler, who was married when her husband was President, yet lives in Georgetown; Mrs. Polk, who entered the White House as its mistress more than forty years ago, still lives in the Polk man- sion in Nashville, ripe in years and green in the affections of her people ; Mrs. Gar- field and Mrs. Grant are fresh in the memories of the country and the world.

It is now a custom that has become crys- tallized into law that the widows of ex-Presidents shall receive annuities of $5,000 during their lives. Mrs. Tyler, Mrs. Polk and Mrs. Garfield receive such antiuities now, and Congress will promptly add Mrs. Grant to the list.

A BALLOON ascension race between Pro- fessors Tollvert and Smith occurred on the 2nd inst., at the south end. Prof.,Toll- vert’s balloon collapsed when at a height of 1,500 feet. He hung on the trepeze and the ropes caught on some telegraph wires. ln the descent Tollivert’s spine was frac- tured and his recovery is doubtful. Prof. Smith landed four minutes later, avd received serious bruises on the body.

The late Frank Buckland, the naturlist, when only twelve years old,used to keep en owl, a buzzard, or a raccoon in one of the lockers in his bedroom, and to feed hun- dreds of tame jackdaws, led by a villainous magpie, twice a‘day with bread and milk. He made a very comfortable waistcvat of the skins of cats, bats, and moles, and liked to eat squirrel pie and mice cooked in butter.
