Great destruction to property throughout this island colony has resulted. The storm, which reached Its height on Sunday, raged for six days, but to-day has abated considerably. All telegraph lines In the Interior of the colony are down, and reports from Inland points are slow In reaching here. The town of Plaeeutia was flooded for three days, and the principal business street of that place resembles an ocean beach, being piled high with flotsam that was cast up by the unusually high tides. The village of Blackhead, three miles from this city, was almost swept away.

Galvin, It is said, was asked to accept the place of city chamberlain, at $12,000 a year. It appears that he had sufficient experience In politics during the campaign and preferred to stay in his manufacturing business. Since Galvin declined, it is reported that Michael J. Drummond.

manufacturer and banker of Manhattan, has received favorable consideration for the appointment. Judge Gaynor, when the Tammany nominations were under discussion last full, is said to have expressed the wish that Drummond be nominated for controller. This was after Thomas M. Mulry refused to run. Mr.

Drummond was a guest at the dinner given at the Montauk Club last night to Judge Gaynor by his neighbors. Ha lives In Manhattan, Is not a member of the club, and was there by special Invitation. He is accounted a close friend of the mayor-elect. Whether he has been offered, directly or indirectly, the place of chamberlain is not known. It happens, however, that Drummond is a director of the Emigrant Industrial Savings Bank, of which Thomas M.

The visit of Chief Engineer Martin and Deputy Commissioner Little at Juiige Gaynor's Eighth avenue home to-day was as evidence that the mayor-elect is having serious difficulty in finding tho man he wants for bridge commissioner. He related last night at the Montauk Club dinner how two days ago he had offered this commissionership to a member ol the club, and it had been refused, for reasons of business and health.

He added that he had met with similar refusals. Klngsley Martin, as chief engineer of the bridge department, receives a salary of $10,000 a year, and does not want the commissionership.
