New YORK, Oct. 24.-New York was
pelted last night and today with one OF
the most pitiless storms which it has
endured in many day. A fierce north
oastterly gale drove the heavy rain in
almost horizontal sheets, rendering UNI
brellas of no use, and the wind through
out the night ratified signs and shutters
till unbroken sleep became we'll nigh
impossible. This morning stories of
damage along the coast began to come
in, but it is feared the worst will not be
known until tomorrow. Along the New
Jersey coast the wires are reported down
and several vessels ashore, while others
have been driven from their course. Very
high tides have resulted from the storm.
Several small boats were capsized
of Long Branch, but the occupants were
rescued. The marine wires that are
strung between this city and Sandy
Hook, parted about midnight, and today
the members of the maritime exchange
had to depend upon the single wire from
the quarantine station at Staten island.
Damage in Brooklyn.
The storm did considerable damage in
Brooklyn. A four-story brick building
in course of erection on Hallway street,
was blown down. John Lindsay,
passer-by, was buried in the ruins. His
injuries are thought to be fatal.
Along the Jersey Shore.
AsBURY PARK, N. j., Oct. 24.-The
New Jersey coast towns are receiving
their full share of the severe northeast
erly storms. The damage done to shore
towns from Sandy Hook to Barnegat
inlet by the storm and heavy tides, will
amount to thousands OF dollars. The
most severe damage was done at Mon
mouth Beach. The sea cut large gap
into the bluff, and made clean sweep
across the driveway, thirty feet wide.
At Seabright the waves dashed up over
the breakwater, and into the basement
of the h Stel. All along the Shrewsbury
river, on the other side of the driveway,
the high tide has wrought sad havoc.
Everything in reach has been swept
away. Boat houses, summer houses,
stables, could all be seen, either adrift
or standing in from eight to ten feet OF
water. The New Jersey Southern road
is washed out, and traffic is suspended.
