THE STORM OF YESTERDAY.

THE WIWO^COHTIHUKC TO-DAY—IMMENSE AMOUNT OF OAMAOK DONE. NEW YORK, September 11»—[Special.]— Tlie storm is subsiding at Coney Island, but the scene presented there to-day is one of wide desolation with wreckage strewn from one end of the Island to the other. Lawrra at the Oriental and Manhattan hotels are totally destroyed. Gilmore's Music Favillion is knocked out of shape. The destruction is even greater at Brighton Beach. Tlie lawn in front of the hotel is gone and the sand is piled high around. Seidle's Music Pavillion and the race track is under three feet of water/

The storm still continues with mutli severity from Cape Hattcras to Maine with a enter off Cape Henry. The indications are that the high northeasterly winds now prevailing on New hngland and the middle Atlantic coast will continue, to-day, increasing jn force north of Caie Cod and diminishing in force from New Jersey to the southward.

AWAITING THE DULL

DEMOCRATIC OFFICE ITOL.DEIT} KX I'ECTI SG IKC'APITATIOX.

WHAT EX-CONGRESSMAN JOHNSTON HAD TO FT TO THE SOLDIERS UP IN VERMILLION IF COUNTY. 'A

The article iu last night's NEWS create qnite a stir in political circles, in fact, tty information was of such a nature that J* caused a sensation. It occasionetl end of gossip of a political nature an* some new features were brought to th surface which have hitherto been occult Mr. Filbeck wants the eollectorsliip—b wants it badly and James T. Johnston said to have signed his application anjj no other of any applicant in this countv This u. the latest assertion regarding tli?

Faris is for Filbeck, and George has big "fluence." A special to ^he Indianapolis Journal says: »corg€ W. Funs anrl Vifts of Terro "fTante, left WashiHgton to-rlav for their home. fhe left Iridiaritt im nicfliatoly after the corner stone ittving lit InliannpoHn, and bavo been niaking a iour of the eastern stales. Tbey upent week jn the national capital, when* Mr. FariK went (fanning through the dejwtnients in search of some apjHjluttnenls for his Kcpviblican friends in the state.

The impression among the Democratic revenue department officials is that a change is soon to occur and that, thev must go. The manner of their removal will be in accordance with the plan which it seems has been formulated^ Ganger Jake White was removed, no cause being given. GaugerCrawf. Scott was removed the 1st of the month and a Ilepubliean from Shelbyvilleordered into this district. The gangers and storekeepers are expecting to be removed at any time without any cause being assigned, or they anticipate transfer to some other district where after a months work they will not be assigned to any work and in consequence will be compelled to seek another "job." Importations of Republicans are looked for from districts where new collectors have been appointed. By this means the Democrats can be ousted while ithe head remains untouched. Republicans here, however, do not encourage imiortation.

JOHNSTON TO THE SOLDIERS.

WHAT THE EX-CONGRESSMAN IS REPORTED TO HAV« 8AI»U* VERMILLI0»-^ A letter has been received by a promi nent Democrat of this city from a wellknown resident of Vermillion county, giving the substance of one of the excongressman's bright remarks. Johnston wants the Republican nomination for congress next vear. He stands in with those who usually do the preliminaries for each convention, and will probably be the candidate. A prominent Republican put it: "Why, nobodv else wants it." Johnston now wears a big G. A. R. hat with a gold braid but to return to the letter. He was addressing a soldier's meeting in Vermillion county not long since and said in substance: "Now, boys, you remember four or five years ago I had a jint discussion with Mr. Lamb, of Terre Hut. He said then that the Republican party was mighty loud in its professions of love for the Union soldier while the campaign was going on, but when it come

offices the soldier had to take aback seat, and I'm mighty sorry now to have to admit that for onct 1 believe Mr. Lamb told the truth.

While it perhaps, a pleasure to divert, munition occasionally to politics, and the movements that are going on, it is well to keep an eye on the Democrats. Voorhees Brookshire expects the rcnomination next year in fact, he is confident of it, for the reason that he has been elected but once and victory's reward is a second nomination. \rigo Democracy is a hungry set and it will not be surprising if this county does not present a carnlidate.aud knock Brookshire out of a nomination. The drift of Democracy at present seems to be in this direction.

C!ItOUND TO BE BROKEX AT ONCE FOR A NEW BUILDING.

THE ENROLLMENT MUCH LARGER THAN BEFORE—SPECIAL OPENING EXERCISES—THE FACULTY,

A special programme was prepared for the opening this morning, consisting of reading of scripture by Prof. Duncan, prayer by Mr. Stimson, two instrumental solos by Miss Eva Alden, a song by Prof. Belcher, of Indianapolis, who is cfirector of vocal music, and an address by Judge Rhodes, president of the board of trustees. Judge Rhodes, in his address, stated that the foundations for anew college building will lie commenced in a few days, and also said that the largest proportion of the money for the buildhad been pledged. The new college will be built directly east of the old and will IH* a handsome brick structure of twelve rooms, music rooms, recitational halls, laboratory and kindergarten rooms. The building will face the north and will be completed in sixty or ninety days. Judge Rhodes also stated that a gymnasium waa among the future advantages of the school. The trustees of the college are to be commended for their perseverance. When the college was opened it struggled along several years with scarcely a promise of a future, and now with a new building in prospect and an enrollment, of 100, little is left to be asked for. The corps of teachers is one of the best that the state affords and with Professor Duncan at the helm a brilliant future for the college is assured.

Kiss HIM AND LET HIM GOR

The story goes that a certain society young man, noted for his handsome bearing and winning voice, accompanied a young lady to her home and, as all true lovers do, lingered vet a little while at the gate to have a lover's tete-a-tete with his fair companion. The night was beautiful, no one near to intrude, and, above all, he loved! Why shouldn't, she kiss him? With true maidenly modesty she refused. He implored. She still withheld from him that which would till his cup of happiness. The request was repeated several times, and so engrossed did the young man become in wooing he failed to notice the approach of the parental step. The old gentlemen, who hail been there himself and did not care to intrude upon the happiness of the young couple, quietly stepping behind a convenient rosebush, waited, thinking the young man would soon leave. In this he was mistaken. The lover tarried over the reuuest until the patience of the old gentleman was exhausted. A voice the couple well knew aroused them from their happiness in a tone of immtient anger by saying: "Daughter, kiss tlie tool and let him go home!" It is reported that t,l«t young man onlv hit the ground in high places in his emleavor to comply with the old
