New York, Oct. 24. A terrible storm
is prevailing m and around this city. Con-
Biderable damage has been done the ship
ping in porl, and varions buildings in the
city. The large and elegant glas3 in Tif
fany's show window, whieh cost thousands
of dollars, has been shattered. Last night
while on myvway to Booth's theatre, I saw
no premonitory symptons of this tempest
The stars were ont and the streets gay
with throngs of people. Miss Genevivrc
Ward acted Lady Macbeth. Her support
was not very gooa. i ne theatre is very
"l- m . . ,
handsome, the drop curtain, a marvel of
beauty, and the frescoes superb. Miss
Ward is quite popular in New York. For
eight successive nights she has drawn full
houses. In the sleep walking scene her
acting was peculiarly effective.
The electric light in Fison's laboratory
is attracting a great deal of attention
Edison is very courteous and obliging to
those who visit him there, for the purpose

Ctrccuback and Republican Campaign in

Cojrconp, N. H.. October 22. There is
no more ceriauuy in the political situa
tion than when 1 last wrote, inst after the
Maine election. The Urecnbackcrs were
full of hope for awhile, and organized dobs
and filled up their ranks rapidly, but have
taken a chill from the Western elections.
The old eachems of Democracy became

well as the Republicans, and to prevent

The Contest In Massachusetts.
Philadelphia Timet Corretpondetict,
Tlie canvass in Massachusetts over Gov
ernor creates more interest and speculation
here than even our own. lsutler is a na
tive of the State, havincr been born in
Dearfield. I have formed 6ome opinion of
his strensth among Republicaus by his af
parent strength among them here, which is
more than pae in foujf1 who express any
opinion. From private reports and from
reading the Boston pa pc opposed to him.
I get the idea that Butler is working sys
tematically ana has large and enthusiastic
meetings, while on the other side they are
slimly attended tfnd lacking in vain. His
Boston opponents say that he will he
beaten by 25,000. I shall estimate Butler's
strength from the , Democratic party
at 88,000, leaving 92,000 to go for Judge
Abbott or Talbot. I should also say that
a quarter part of the 150,000 Republi
cans would vote for Butler, and that he
would be elected but for the repressive in
fluences which will be brought to beaf by
the corporations upon their workmen and
the efforts to get out the last voter against
him. Allowing Butler 30,000 Republi
can votes arid 88,000 Democratic, and he
wonld have 118,000 to 120 for Talbot, or
2.000 short of an election. The Abbott
Democrats will increase this majority if
they think it necessary to vote for Talbot
to defeat Butler. On , the other hand, if
the corporations are not able to control
their employes, as it is now supposed they
will be, BuUer will be elected. The natu
ralization mills are manufacturing voters
in Massachusetts at a rate never before
witnessed, and a good many sons of Erin
are being coached in reading and writing
so as to be qualified to vote for Butler.
An Interesting Kxpcrlmeut.
'An experiment looking to the improve
ment of the navigation of the Ohio river,
it being the application of the Chamoin
system of dams in that, river, a few miles
south of Pittsburg, Pa. A government
appropriation of about $400,000 is to be
exnended on the work the design of which
is primarily to. give Pittsburg a harbor of
navigable depth at all seasons, and further
to show the feasibility of rendering the
whole length of the Ohio navigable at the
lowest water by a succession of these
dams. The peculiarity of the dam is
that it. consists of a series of wickets
which can be raised or lowered at will byby
drantic powej. "When the stpeam is high
the wickets bend low beneath the, flood,
and boats pass over them ; when the water
falls as mid-summer approaches the wickets
n l.nistpd. and the confined waters oe-
pome of sufficient depth lo float the river
craft, which will pas3 the dam by means of
a lock. 1 his dam is a t renen msuiuuon,
and is successfully apvlicd to many of the
Euroiean rivers CoL Mahan, who is su
perintending the construction of the Pitts
burg dam, stakes his proiessionai rqm
