 NEW YORK. March 1s-The damage and work ot destruction of property on the beaches along the Jersey coast and the Long Island coast by the storm which began on Saturday night was continued yesterday The damage was especially severe at the places of summer resort on the New Jersey beach, and at the morning tide yesterday the destruction continued.
 At Highlands tho sea broke through the hulshead Aong the ra ilroad track at the high lands, and the railroad track was torn up, the rails twisted and curled and thrown up for half a mile, cutting of all communication by rail The low beaches were submerged and cut away the entire line of the coast
 At Seabright two of MT. Shipmans beauti- Iul cottages were cut out underneath, and at high water were surrounded. They stand on the piling in great danger The bulkheads are badly damaged, and some of the most costly have toppled over in the surf.
 The surf is making great destruction on the beach front. Many buildings must be moved back for safety. So much sand has been taken away on all this coast lne that it will be almost impossible to fill, and if the build ings weathers the next tide it would seem that removal is the only thing that could place them in safety.
 Long Branch suffered more from the loss of valuable beach front and buikheads than from buildings Some of the costly bulk heads are washed out to sea, with numbers of summer houses and bathing booths At least ten feet of the valuable front has fallen down in the surf, and the elegant drive is in danger. The sea cut thirty feet into the beach in front of Howland's hotel
 At Asbury Park about 100 feet of the north end of the fine promenade was carried away, and considerable damage was done to Bradley's beach walk. The damage is esti- mated at $3 ,OO0
 At Spring Lake the beach is badly injured At Squan the south end of the beach was completely submerged, within few feet of the life saving station cutting off all comnl,l. nication south.
 From Balnegat City to Little Egg harbor, a distance of twenty miles, oil the flat beaches were overhowed. The railroai track is ill. jured and bath houses were taken from their foundations. The high beach hills are cut perpendicular and stand thirty feet in places upright.
 Atlantic City suffered greatly The rail road track down the beach is washed out and no train can run. All communication is cut off from the mainland, and the Camden and Atlantic, the West Jersey and Reading rail road tracks are under water at high tide In Atlantic City the water was up to the floo1 of the cottages and the low part of Holly Beach Tho board walks at Atlantic City and Cape May are badly broken up and washed away.
 At Highland Beach the track of the New Jersey southern division of the Central rail- road was torn up for nearly mile. Heavy stones from sea walls were swept upon the station platform. Three feet of sand covers the tracks for half mile.
 All along Rockaway beach the sands are strewn with bathing suits and other articles which go to make up bathing pavilion. The beach is filtered with the debris of the life saving station No. 34, and tho blanks from Patrick Craigs pavilion, which have been swallowed up by the sea. Another sufferer is John Walstead, who loses $500 in bathing houses. Gilbert, Lockwood and Smith, whose bathing pavilion and houses were swept away, are losers to the extent of S1o,OO
 Another storm of considerable intensity and magnitude is creeping eastward from the Indian territory. It now extends from Da. kota to the gulf, and is part of the severe storm felt on the Pacific coast. It will no, reach this city for day or two.
