tanned at Monmouth Beach. Inc sea cut
a gap into the bluff and made clean
sweep across the driveway about thirty
feet wide. The GaIilee fisheries just
soutb of Sea BRIGHT. were in a terrible
state, the sea had washed and made
clean sweep among the fishing houses
carving destruction with it. In front
Of the big Octagon House, at Sea Bright.
the heavy sea dashed ND over the
hraaLwater and into the basement of
the hotel.
All along the Shrewsbury river on
the other side of the driveway the high
tide had wrought sad havoc. Every
thing that was in the reach of the tide
was swept away; lighthouses, summer
houses. stables, could all be seen either
adrift or standing in from eight to ten
feet of water. At Normandie-by-the-
Sea. the ocean swept over the tracks OF
the New Jersey Southern railroad, and
made such bad breaks that at nine
o'clock yesterday morning traffic had TO
be SUSPENDED. Much of the BLUM at
Asbury Park was washed away, and at
Ocean Beach the lighthouses OF Mr..
Scofield were carried away.
The Asbury Park patrol OF Life
Saving Station No. had a difficult time
on their beats. The wind blew the rain
with so much force as to make progress
almost impossible, and added TO the
rain was the heavy spray from the
breakers which increased the confusion.
At kcyport the storm ragged with
| much severity. Many of the small
oyster sloops were driven ashore, and
, the unusually high tide was the means
of doing considerable damage. The
high tide caused much delay to travel
along the line of the New York and
Long Branch railroad.
At Bay Way the tracks for half mile
were submerged to depth of two feet
In the Raritan river draw the storm
ragged SO fiercely that extra guards were
placed along the tracks. Guards were
also put on from Morgan to South Am
boy to watch the tracks.
The Waters Encroach on New York City
NEW YORK, Oct 25.-The storm which
came down upon New York City proved
to be one of unusual severity. The wind
blew half gale (Which means thirty
miles an hour, and with it was heavy
rainfall. AS the wind was on-shore it
drove the waters of the bay up into the
North and East rivers and an ex-
traordinary tide was the result
When the tide was highest the water at
the Battery was on level with the
top of the sea wall, three feet higher
than it has been in years, and the
| water began running into the cellars
along West street as far uptown as
Chambers street Soon it was over
the bulkheads along the river
front A little later West street in the
neighborhood of Vesey street was
covered with water and, as usual.
Everett's Hotel, at the foot of yesey
street, was flooded. There was a foot
and a half of water on the dining-room
floor, and the walters were busy clean
ing it up. The West End Hotel cellar,
at No. 10 West street, was full
of water, and dozens OF men
could be seen at work with hand
pumps getting the water out OF
the cellars of the buildings along
the river front streets and some times
fifty or one hundred feet back in the
side streets.
West street was in shocking condi-
ton Below Dey street it is torn up
and but little pavement is left. The
street is perfect sea of mud with half
floating timbers, while paving blocks
and astings are scattered about in every
body's way. The black and Shiny mud
ruins every thing it touches, and
few people care to cross the street un-
less 1T is absolutely necessary. The
shop-keepers are disconsolate, and are
looking ahead to the next tide, with
fear for the consequences On the East
River it is the same story. Flooded
cellars and muddy street, with the
water over the bulkheads at high tide.
Pumps are busy there, and the damage
has been principally to the tempers of the
occupants of the buildings. The Hack
ensack river was higher than it has
been for long time, the water cover
ing the floors of the manufacturing es-
adjustments at Little Ferry. The
meadows were submerged and some of
the railroad tracks were under water.
Trains on the New York, Susouehanna
Il Western road ran through water
most of the way from Little Ferry to
West End.
