SERGEANT BARwIcK's REPORT.
Sergeant Barwick gives the following
facts relative to the storm and other mat
tiers:
The total velocity of wind for the six
hours yesterday, from a. NJ to P NJ. was
ZIG miles, or exactly 81 miles per hour
between l and 1870 P. NJ. yesterday the
highest velocity was reached, which was a
maximum of A miles per hour; during
ilye minutes there were 4 miles made
which was an average of IS miles per hour
and on several occasions during the six
hours blow there were miles made in
two mlnutes-or an average of 90
miles per hour. The official
maximum velocity was Al miles
This is the highest velocity ever recorded
since the Signal Office was established
here, in July, 1877 The nearest to "A
miles; December, 1898 miles and De
cember, 1SS0-40 miles The following
shows the highest hourly velocity for each
year since 1878: Highest velocity in 1873,
40 miles-in May; in 1879, 80 miles-in
December; in 1850, 10 miles-in Deem
Der; in 1881, 81 miles-in January: in 1882,
80 miles, i'll April in 1888, 36 miles-in
January; in 1884, &c miles, in December :;
in 1885, 36 miles-in November in 1886,
II miles-in January The pressure or
force of the wind at a velocity of Sc miles
per hour, on one square foot of surface is
GAS pounds; 40 miles per hour, pounds:
Al miles, 9.6S pounds; As miles, IL 50
pounds; 80 miles, 1850 pounds; and 60
miles, IS pounds.
The barometer was rising rapidly on the
10Th, and continued to rise until A. NJ.
yesterday Goth, after which time it began
falling, and in eight hours had fallen DO
quite a rapid fall. From noon
yesterday it began to rise gradually, with
southerly winds travelling from y to Is
miles per hour and clouds moving rapidly
from the southwest Low scud and MIN
bus yesterday afternoon were moving rap
idly from the south, and as they began to
come from the southwest there was break
in clouds, when higher and thicker clouds
were seen moving slowly from some south
erly point. The rain began about
A. NJ. yesterday. and at NJ. there
had been is of an inch deposited:
from \. NJ. to noon .53 of an inch, and
from noon to : P. NJ. rs of an inch making
a total rainfall yesterday of .43 inches and
3.43 inches for the month, and total of
2O.63 inches for the season, as against 65S
inches for the entire season of 1885.
Telegraph wires down, and no Signal Serv-
ice reports received at noon or last night
either, therefore we are unable to say what
the weather is along the Pacific slope but
hope it has not been any worse than at this
point. This can truly be said to be the
worst wInd-storm ever felt here during
the last eight years.
