nOrlZ0ntdl S0eetS, rendering umUrelIdS Oh
little use, and the wind throughout the
night ratified the signs and shutters till un-
broken 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 to- NOR
row. 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 resulted
from the storm. Several small boats were
capsized off Long Branch, but the occu-
pants were rescued.
The marine wires that are strung te-
tween this city and Sandy Hook parted
about midnight, and to-day the members
of the Maritime Exchange had to depend
upon the single wire from the Quarantine
Station at Staten Island.
The storm did considerable damage in
Brooklyn. A four-story brick building in
course of erection, on Hallway street, was
blown down, and John Lindsay, a passer by,
was buried in the ruins. His injuries are
thought to be fatal.

central yesterday morning over North Car
olina, is now south of Long Island moving

ern New England. Vio.ent northeasterly
gales continue from the New Jersey coast
to Cape Cod, and are anticipated to con-

South Atlantic and East Gulf States, in
Tennessee and Indiana, also in Missouri
and Iowa.
HAVOC NEAR BOSTON.

GREAT HAVOC.
AsBURY POINT On. J.), October 24th.-
New Jersey coast towns are receiving full
share of the severe northeasterly storm.
The damage to the 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 Monmouth Park. The sea cut large
gap into the cliff, 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 hotel.
All along the Shrewsbury river, on the
other side of the driveway, the high tide
has wrought sad havoc.
Everything in reach was swept away.
The at-house, summer houses and sta
bles could all be seen either adrift or stand
ingin from eight 10 ten feet of water.
The New Jersey Southern road is washed
out and traffic is suspended.
AS FAR SOUTH AS VIRGINIA.
NORFOLK (Va.), October 24th-A terrific
southeasterly gale has ragged on the Chesa-
peake bay. The wind blew at the rate of
60 miles an hour, lashing the water into
mountainous waves, which were so high
that they completely washed across the
new iron pier completed by the Govern
ment last spring. The passengers on the
steamer Virginia, which was coming down
the bay, were badly frightened when she
was struck by the storm. The waves
broke over the vessels deck. flooding her
down stairs saloon and wrecking the pam
try, and just before she reached Old Point,
tremendous wave struck the boat, crush
ing her port wheel house and shattering
the joiner work on the port side. All the
passengers had on their life preservers, and
frantic men and women begged Captain
Bohanner to beach the steamer. 1t is be-
lieved that the storm and high tide COM
bined did considerable damage 1t is feared
that numerous wrecks took place.

usage.
