J., Sept. 11.— Telegraphic communication Is now open, and railroad cennections will probably be restored to-day. No lives were Jost iu Atlantic City, nor was any serious destruction wrought there by the storm, except along the beach. The greater portion of the boardwalk and most of the structures along it were damaged or destroyed, and at one {ime pearly the whole of the city was flooded by the high tides, Early yes- ierday morning Lee's Ocean Terrace oroperty, alrezdy damaged by the waves, was destroyed by fire, The restoration of railroad communication will bring great relief to the people at :he seaside, as provisions are beginning :o run short. A number of yachts are re- ported to have been wrecked in the :horoughfares and creeks at Atlantic ity. It 1s learned that at Sea Isle City two hotels and about a dozen cot- tages were swept away, and some of the cottages were fooded to their third stories. Efforts are being made to re- pair the railroad so as to get provisions to the place. Reports of destruction and damage to property come from all portions of the New Jersey and Long Island Coasts, but the only serious loss of life is reported in Delaware Bay. Three schooners have been wrecked on Fouirteen Foot Bank, and it 1s feared that 21 lives have been lost. The ship W. R. Grace is ashore on the point of away. Sixteen vessels are aground at Lewes, : AspUuRY Park, Sep. 11.—The de- structive wind and rain storm contin- tinues to rage, and with increased fury.

Since Monday night the storm has raged without abatement, Yesterday's dawn showed a hundred vessels which had sought the refuge of the Breakwater. The refuge was insuf- ficient. By 11 o'clock the sea broke over the Breakwater, wrecked the tele. graph station, carried away the big fog bell and rushed shoreward, sweeping away the steamboatl pier and dashing the Italian bark *II Salvator!” aguinst the iron Government pier. The piers of Brown & Co., and Lence Bros, gave way and were swept to sea, The United States Marine Hospital was dashed from its moorings and sent spin- ning down the beach.

The first boat came ashore at 0 A, M. Then came anotner and another. The life-saving crew, reln- forced by the Henlopen and Ieboboth crews, went to work, and have labored almost unceasingly ever since. The crew of every vessel that struck was taken off by these daring men, and not a life was lost among the scores of men handled The total number of lives lost will probably exceed forty. Five of the eight men who composed the crew of the E. & L.

The provisions, which had fairly held out, were getting scarce, especially te fresh beef and meats and the vegetables, but the ship- ments made and received to-day replen- ished the almost impoverished stores of the hotels and cottages, Along the beach, from the Inlet down to the Excursion House, but little is left of the large number of pavilions, bath houses and booths that In the early part of the week lined the board- walk. Nothing can be done as yet to repair the damages, the only work ac complished being the completion of trenches dug on the cross avenues from the beach westward toward Pacific avenue. This has proved of great bene- fit, draining the streets, some of which were flooded as far west as Pacific avenue. “The reports yesterday of the damage done at Sea Side Park was greatly ex- aggerated. ‘The Sea Side Park Hotel is situated only about 50 yards from the surf, but although the sea swept over the boardwalk and at times during the highest of the tides even up to the pilazzas, the hotel has sustained no damage whatever. A small pavilion under which the surf usually rolied at high tide was washed away, also por- tions of the boardwalk. The fierce wind blew off part of the tin roof of the Berkeley Hotel, and the piazza of a small cottage. Otherwise no Injury to cottages, or even the bathing houses on the beach, has been done, nor the beach itself seriously cut.

The morning was ushered in cloudy, with the rain that fell all of Wednes- day night continuing to pour down In torrents, that did not cease during the day.
