HIGHLAND LIGHT, Mass, Jan. 6.-The
gale that developed here yesterday in
creased to the worst northeast storm
thus far this season. During the night
the sea thundered against the cliffs the
entire length Of the coast. Two barka
and the schooner Alma Cummings were
driven southeast seaward. The steamer
Chatham which passed out for BaIti-
more at noon is laboring heavily. One
steamer, one equare-rigged vessel and
FIVE schooners are storn-bound near
Provincetown. There is no Sign of
change in the weather. The train due
from Boston at p. m. had not arrived
at 9 O'Clock, the tracks being badly filed
with snow.
BLACKSTONE, Macs, Jan. 6 6.-Eighteen
inches of snow fell on the level in the
towns of North Bridge, Bridge, Milvillc
and Blackstone, being the heaviest fall
since the blizzard of 1888. Railway
travel on the Consolidated and New
England railway ia delayed.
FAR-RoCKwAY, L. l., Jan. 6.-The high
tides which accompanied the storm dur
ing the past 36 hours almost over
whelmed Hog island. Franks pavilion
and Gipson's bathing house were
washed out to sea. Cafrey's pavilion
and other buildings were damaged. 1t
is feared if the storm continues other
buildings on the beach will be washed
away.
New YoRK, Jan. 6.-Not since the
terrible snowstorm of five years ago has
New York experienced anything go
nearly like blizzard as that which has
been blowing here since last night.
Traffic on Broadway ie almost suspended,
while on some of the less promi-
pent streets the blockade is COM
plete. The snow drifts are from four to
five feet deep. Snow fell ftfully all aft
ernoon with gusts of wind. Early in the
evening it began to fall fast and furious,
Driven by the gale, it soon became as
| fine as powder, increasing in violence,
| and continued throughout the night,
with the reeults given above.
| Signal Service Officer Dunn says the
snow storm netted New York IL inches
on the level. OF the level there are
varying numbers of feet and it is mostly
| off the level. Some surface lines kept
snow plows running throughout the
night and were thus able to run out
four horse cars to accommodate part oi
their regular early travel, but not the
! overflow. An army of men were al
work today making the streets passable,
and the snow is rapidly forming into
we'll regulated lumps along the curbing
preparatory to being carted away. There
was but little disturbance in the sched-
ules of the railroads. Tonight the
weather ia clear and cold with little
wind blowing.
The storm and wind did much damage
in and around Jamaica bay. Several
yachts we're torn from their anchorage
and blown heavily on the meadows
where number of them were complete
ly wrecked.
LONG BRANCH, N. j., Jan. GA fierce
snow and windstorm along the Jersey
coast has wrought terrible damage to
property. A heavy sea ia running.
The Shrewsbury hotel at Seabright is
being undermined; the street being
washed away by the raging sea, has
caused the stoppage of trains to High
lands. The bnlkhead and bluff at that
place are also going to pieces here. The
fsmous iron pier is total wreck. The
entire bluff on Chelsea avenue is gone.
! The bulkheads on other portions of the
| bluff are greatly damaged.
