Sunday arrived promptly on tlmo. It was
about 5 o'clock in tho aftornoon when It
began to rain, and from that tlmo it began

working up to a very high pitch. Almost
a nillo a mlnuto was tho velocity it had at
tnlnod by 10:80 p. m., and tho oitects were
percoptlblo on all sides. Tho shipping in
terests in tho harbor, having received suf
ficient warning, had ample timo to pre
pare for tho approaching storm, and it is
not likely that any great loss will occur.
Although tho wind blow at a hurrlcnno
rate along tho Now Jersey coast very littlo
damage has been reported so far. Through
out tho country districts of Now Jersey
nothing more than telegraph poles and
trees aro reported down. Accompanying
tho wind storm was a heavy rain, which
in many parts fell in torrents for hours.
At Asbury Park and Long Brunch most
of tho damage was dono by tho great
waves which wore dashed up along tho
plors and beaches, but as preparations had
been mado for tho storm tho damage was
not heavy. At thoso placos the wind at
tained a volocity of about fifty miles an
hour, and those who watched tho ocean
from tho shore said thoy had novcr scon an
angrier sea or moro tcrrillo waves.
At Sandy Hook tho gnlo was experienced
at its worst. It blow great guns all day,
and continued throughout tho night.
Several coastwiso steamers which sailed
on Saturday returned yesterday and an

Looks Over the Wall in Sympathy With
His Neighbors.
THEY ARE FLOODED BY SEWERAGE
a Sequel to tho Case Which Has Worried
the Boara of Health and Borough Coun
cil For Many Months Threats of
Suits For Damages.
Thoro is war in tho First ward over a
nuisance created on .1 number of properties
by tho blocking of a creek which has been
a part of the natural drainage system of tlio
borough over sinco its incorporation, and
long boforc. Tho blockade has been estab
lished by ox-High Constable Anthony Flynn
and what the ultimate result will be no 0110
can at this time conjecture.
Tho creek flows from tho northern part of
town, in tho vicinity ot ll.iird's field, nnd
takos a southoast course until it strikes an
other creok at the suiithcrn end of Emerick
street. As the town has developed people
havo built heusos along tho banks and over
tho creok and so much has tho water eourso
been hedged that many people do not know
of its existence Of course ndvantago has
boon taken of tho creek for drainage pur
poses and its contents to day are notdesimblo
to havo flowing over any property and,
therefore, it is not surprising that tho resi
dents of tho First ward affected aro up in
arms. Tlio only question is, who is respon
sible for tho condition of affairs ? Somo
peoplo say Anthony I'lynn, others say the
Borough Council, and still others Maine, the
lawyers. Time, alone, will tell.
Years aso Flynn purchased a property on
South Emerick street. Tho creek mentioned
passed through the property, tlio dwelling
being so constructed as to leave a passago for
tho flowing waters beneath, and in tho yard
tho creek was covoied by old railroad sills.
Nobody complained about tho creek until
somo mouths ago, when tlio sills bceamo so
rotten that they caved in, partly Mucking
tho creek and allowing offensive odors to
make tho surrounding atmosphere unbear
able. Mr. I' lyun complained to the Borough
Council and Board of Health, claiming that
tho creek was a public sewerage and the bor
ough should cover it. Tho complaint fluctu.
atcd between tlio Board of Health and Bor
ough Council until it becamo a chestnut, and
finally it was thrown aside on an opinion by
tho Borough Solicitor, who stated that the
creek was a natural water course, and not a
public sewerage ; and, as the break was on
privato property, the borough was not liable
Mr. Flynn said it was a public sewerage, as
tho borough had given parties permits to run
sewerage lines to tho cieek. This the bor-
oueh otticials denv. Tliev sav thev hare
given permits tS havo tiie streets dug up for
tho laying of sewerage pipes, but at no timo
does it designato where the lines shall dis
charge, only in cases of public sewerage.
Mr. Flynn then appealed to tho law and,
through George J. Wadlinger, Esq., brought
suit against the borough for damages 111 tress
pass. This suit is still pending. Pecciitly
Mr. Flynn's lawyer advised him, so it Is
claimed, to build a stone wall across tlio creek
so as to stop it flowing ovor his property and
then lay such sewerage pipes as would servo
his own purpose. Mr. I-lyun decided to fol
low the advice, but first told his neighbors
what he proposed doing. They became
greatly alarmed and called upon tho Iloroggh
Council. The Borough Solicitor adhered to
his former opinion aud said tlio best thing for
tho Council to do would bo to await tho re
sult of Mr. Flynn's suit for damages, as that
would settle tho question as to whethor tlio
creek was under the jurisdiction of tho bor
ough. Mr. Flynn waited a few days and then
started work on his wall. Ho filially suc
cooded in putting up an effectual breastwork
and the rain of last night did tho rest. The
water and sowerago first formed a pool, then
swelled by degrees until it became a dam.
Tho wall is a high ono. Tlio water had to go
somo place, how over, and it has llowed over
the adjoining premises, Tho basements on
tho J. 11. Moiiaghau property are Hooded to a
depth of two and a half feet, ami Michael
Graham, Health Ollicor Conry, Edward Mc
Guiuness aud other adjoining property
owners aro driven to desperation. Cleary,
the bottler, has several wagons in tho yard
next to his establishment aud this morning
it looked as if they would soon be filiating.
The languago the afllicted parties are using
has given the atmosphere of tlio vicinity a
sulphurous odor aud it Is hardly safe for any
body having anything to do with the manage
ment of tlio borough affairs to go within gun
shot distance of tlio scene. Meanwhile Mr.
Flynn looks ovor his stono wall with great
coinplauccncy, but occasionally deals out bits
of sympathy to his alilicled neighbors,
whobe only hope of satisfaction lios in suits
against tho borough. Should the court de
cide that Mr. Flynn is responsible for tho
condition of affairs they will only havo a
pour man to call upon for damages, Tho
First ward will no doubt be well represented
at tho Borough Council meeting next Thurs
day night.
