GALE ON ATLANTIC COAST.

Disastrous Floods Cause Extensive Damage to Towns. NEW YORK, Jan. H.--A terrific gale sweeping along the New Jersey coast today caused floods which did extensive damage, but as tar as known no lives have been lost. At Seabriglit, X. J., the Octagon hotel was partially destroyed by the high tide and a number of cottages inhabited by fishermen were washed away. A tidal wave flooded the peninsula laying between the Ocean Beach and the Shrewsbury river. Members of tiie Seabright fire department, headed by Mayor Geo. V. Elliott, worked all night to check the inroads of the flood and to save the abutments along the shore. The wind increased in volume and life-savers constantly patrolled the Xew Jersey coast from Sandy Hook to Barnegat, keeping a sharp lookout for ships in distress.

Presidio. Tex., Jan. 3. The whole rebel army of 7,500 men made a daring assault on Ojinaga early today. The advance was ordered shortly after midnight and the Constitutionalists attacked from three sides, in a desperate attempt to wrest the stronghold from General Orozco's federals. After four hours of fighting the rebels had gained a foothold in the outskirts of the town, w here the contending forces were fighting hand to hand, but the government troops still held firm on the hill where the main intrenchments are located. Natera Leads Attack. The attack which was taken here to be the final effort of the rebels to capture Ojinaga, was led by Gen. Panofil Xatera. who had superseded General Ortega as a result of the latter's failure to take the city in earlier attacks. The main charge was preceded by an artillery dufl during which both Federal and rebel shells were fired across the Rio Grande and dropped on American soil. This brought a sharp protest from Maj. McNamee, commander of the Fifteenth United States cavalry. Xo one was hurt on the American side by the explosion of the shells, as Maj. McXamee had ordered refugees -nd sightseers back from the river bank when he heard that the battle was on.

EDUCATION BOARD TO ELECT TEACHER

For the last week the Rev. Edgar Williams, an evangelist, has been working throughout the county to arouse interest in the revival at Richmond. Mr. Williams is accompanied by a singer, and together they have visited the towns of the county, preaching in the churches and halls, and are reporting very successful results of their work. Cambridge City, Dublin, Hagerstown, Cenferville, and other towns have been visited. The two workers are now in Hagerstown, working in co-operation with a college gospel team. The Rev. Mr. Williams and his assistant are tinder the direct supervision of the evangelistic committee of the ministerial association, and their work is chiefly to interest the entire county in the work of the Honeywell troupe in this city. In a week or two an attempt will be made to bring in large parties from the surrounding towns to attend the revival meetings.

The rainfall for the month of March is the greatest ever measured at the local station. In contrast to this record stands the fact that with the exception of .November of 1904, the month of December just past was the dryest month recorded for the past eighteen years with a precipitation of only .:;s inches.

As "estimaters" the post, office officials claim the title for Richmond. During the first part of December estimates were sent into the government on the probable extra expenses during the holiday season, in order that extra money needed would be available to pay bills. The amount asked for horse and wagon hire was ?;3. Having forgotten the estimates until the bills were sent in this week, Superintendent of Mails Handley found that the two amounts were equal. Xo attempt was made ro follow out the amounts asked for. The total extra expense of the Christmas rush in the post office is estimated at $250 including extra help and overtime work, with the horse and wagon here.
