Boston, Oct 24.-An old-fashioned
northeast storm has prevailed in this Sec
ton since last night, the high wind making
it the most disagreeable and aggravating
storm for pedestrians that has occurred
for many q day. 1t was most violent along
the water front, although no damage is re-
ported within the city limits At Revere
Beach wind and high tide played sad
havoc The Woburn house, built on the
shore at the north end of Crescent Beach,
was lifted from it's foundation and settled
deep in the sand. A photograph building
was wrecked by the waves and thrown up
against the railroad saloon building. The
lattice work of the Palace baths was torn
away, and the rear portion of the Oak
Island cafe and Waverly house suffered to
| some extent.
This forenoon small sloop yacht was
lifted bodily by the wind and waves and
| deposited on the bed of the Boston, Revere
Beach and Lynn railroad. The bowsprit
| projected across the track and was struck
| by Boston train. The boat was thrown
| over in such position that the projecting
| mast was struck by another train SO forci-
| bly, as to throw the boat back into the wa
| ter, whore she sank.
All along the south shore the storm is
reported as the most severe since the big
| storm of November, 1888, and it seems to
be increasing in intensity tonight. At
Provincetown this forenoon the schooner
Folly broke adrift and is now ashore in
| the harbor in an easy position. Aside from
| this no disasters are reported, but it is
| feared that if the gale does not soon sub
| side number of wrecks will occur before
morning. The coast is closely patroled by
men from the life saving stations tonight,
but the tremendous seas would render
| their efforts at rescue almost unavailing
should their services be needed.
The storm has been unusually heavy in
southern Vermont. Brattleboro reports
| 24 inches of rain and still raining. Hill
towns report from two to five inches of
snow, and some of the afternoon stages
were unable to make their trips owing to
| swollen streams.
The easterly gale beside OBTAINING fleet
of more than 100 sailing vessels, which
anchored in the harbor and roads, caused
the various lines of coastwise steamers to
postpone their sailings to-day, and at mid
night the Portland, Bath and other boats
were lying at their piers. The steamer
City of Savannah proceeded as far as
quarantine where she anchored. During
the afternoon and evening sloops An
ME, Daganarra, Arrow, Eva and Con-
stance broke from their moorings in Dor
chester bay, and were blown away. At
Scituate tonight tho wharves were flooded
at high tide, and part of Front street is
under water. The schooner Active filled
and sank at her wharf, but all other craft
in the harbor are in safe quarters. 1t was
reported this afternoon that brig or bark
was wrecked at Fourth Cliffe, but the ru-
NOR cannot be confirmed.
NEW YORK, Oct. PA dispatch was
received from Far Rockaway, l.. l., to-
night saying that a large ocean steamer
was ashore beyond Long Beach. The
| wires along the shore are down and no
particulars can be obtained. The steamer
was reported to be a four-masted vessel
| and it is thought she may be the OLDHAM of
the Netherlands American line which was
| expected to arrive on Wednesday. The
| only other transatlantic liner due is the
Circassia, but she is not n four-master.
| The OLDHAM sailed from Rotterdam on
| October II.
AsBURY PARK N. j., Oct. 24.-The New
| Jersey seacoast towns received their full
/ share of the severe NORTHEASTERN storm
that began yesterday. All day to-day it
| has stormed with no abatement. The
damage sustained by the shore towns from
| Sunday Hook to Barnegat Inlet by the
severe storm and heavy tides will foot up
| to thousands of dollars The most severe
damage was sustained at Monmouth Beach.
| The sea cut big gap into the bluff and made
| clean sweep across the driveway about
thirty feet wide. At the Galilee Fisheries
| just south of Seabright the sea made clean
sweep among the fishing houses, carrying
destruction with it. In front of the big oc-
| tagon house at Seabright the heavy sea dash
| ed over the breakwater and into the base
| ment of the hotel. The bulkheads at this
place were badly damaged. All along the
Shrewsbury river on the other side of the
driveway the tide wrought sad havoc.
Everything within reach of the tide was
swept away. Boat houses, summer houses
and stables could be seen either adrift or
ter.
At Normandy-by- the-Sea the ocean
swept over the tracks of the New Jersey
Southern railway and made. such bad
breaks that railroad traffic had to be sus-
pended. Much of the bluff at Asbury
park was washed away and at Ocean
Beach the boat houses were carried off.
