Two SchOOners Thrown OH the Jersey
Sands, Battered to Pieces and Fiji
teen of the Crews Drowned.
MANY SMALLER CRAFT LOST
Great Damage to Piers, Railways
and Telegraph Companies.
Portions of New York State and Penn
sylvania Covered with Six to Thirty
Inches of Wet Snow.

NEW YORK, April 1.-THE Atlantic
coast was swept by a storm of great Sc
verify last night and to-day, and several
vessels were wrecked and their crews
drowned. The air filled with
and sleet. In nearly all OF the Atlantic
States there was a heavy fall of snow,
varying in depth from six TO thirty inches
making the storm, in some respects, the
worst in years. The tide reached the high
est mark in this harbor for many years
At 1045 the water was within two feet of
the edge of the barge office pier at the Bat
terry. The storm conferred on the New
Jersey coast, moving rapidly TO the east
ward 1t was attended by dangerous and
northeastery gales all along the New Eng
land and middle Atlantic States. The wind
at o'clock al Block island was blowing at
the rate of sixty miles hour. At Sandy
Hook the gale was stronger. At o'clock
it was blowing at sixty-four miles an hour.
and at 10:15 1t had increased to sixty-eight
miles an hour. In this city, however, the
winds highest velocity was forty miles an
hour. In this immediate vicinity and south
to Virginia there was both snow and rain.
Notice was given yesterday Of the ap-
preaching storm, and signals were dis
played last night and to-day. Accompany
ing the gale was a very dense fog, which
extended all along the coast, anw was very
dangerous TO navigation Fortunately the
fog did not cover the harbor, or ii might
have been responsible for unusual
amount of trouble and vexation among
the many craft of every description which
ply the harbor and the East and North
rivers, and probably some accidents. The
ferries are always more or less affected
by this weather. traffic in general is
impeded.
Incoming steamers this afternoon report
that a tremendous gale has been blowing
outside Sandy Hook for the past twenty
four hours. The wind came from east
northeast, quickly increasing and blowing
with hurricane force. The waves were
high. and were accompanied by hard
squalls from northeast. and heavy snow
and hail. The health officer and his staff
experienced much difficulty in boarding in
coming steamers, owing TO the strong
northeast gale and the high that was
running in the bay, and the attempt TO
climb aboard the steamers was attended
with no little danger. There is every pros
pect of continued blow which may last
all night.

Six Lives Lost.

LONG BRANCH, n. j., April u.-For
east gale, with heavy rain and snow, in
fourteen years has prevailed along the
coast causing much damage to the bulk
heads and shipping. At Morgan, along the
road, the tide to-day was higher than has
been known in ten years. AT Matawan and
Keyport the tide backed up TO such an ex-
tent that the meadows surrounding these
places are all inundated, and some of the
smaller vessels which have been lying at
their docks have broken loose and drifted
out upon the meadows so that when the
storm abates and the tide falls they will be
left lying high and dry. At Normandie-by-
the-Sea the ocean and the Shrewsbury river
have joined forces over the land.
The New Jersey Southern trains running
between Seabright and Highland beach
have all been abandoned, and all passen-
gers from that section for Atlantic High
lands and intermediate stations are being
sent via Matawan. The tracks of the COM
pany between those two points are a total
wreck. and portions Of the road have been
washed To sea
Directly opposite the Highland Beach sta
ton the thrse-masted schooner Kate Mar
KEEL came ashore this morning at the outer
bar. 1t was at first reported that the crew
of eight were lost, but later reports show
that two of the men were saved.
A number of people residing at Seabright
are standing in readiness 10 leave their
homes. fearing they will be surrounded by
water from the ocean, which is threatening
to flood the town.

Crew of Nine Perish.

MANASQUAN, n. j., April 1.-THE gales
and high tides which prevailed last night
and to-day have left their mark all along
the Jersey coast. Along the Jersey Cen
trail railroad to Toms river the high tides
have done enormous damage and the sea
has overlooked the shore and formed little
lakes for considerable distance. The
beach far down the coast is strewn with
light wreck. The wind has blown a full
gale all day, the high seas roaring and
pounding and foaming with mighty rage.
In the height and fury of the storm the
three masted schooner Albert w. Smith
was driven ashore at a point midway be-
tween Seagirt and Manasquan. In lessthan
half an hour after the vessel struck she
was pounded into kindlng wood by the
seas which broke over her. what was left,
a portion of the hull. was carried up about
a quarter of mile south of the iife-saving
station. Nine men composed the crew of
the Albert w. Smith, and not one of them
has been seen since their boat wrecked,
and it is unlikely that any Imam OF that
crew has survived to tell the tale Of his
experiences in the awful gale of last night
She was commanded by Capt. Samuel r.
Berry. Her crew consisted of Mate L. 5.
Barber, of Narragansett Pier; cook George
Lopez, seamen Manuel Silver, Peter Pine,
Andrew Deioruta, A. Deioruta, Anieiti Da,
rogueZ and Berie Caesar Gomez Captain
Berry has wife and two children in
Providence, r. l., where the vessel was
owned.
Captain Longstreet, Of the life-saving
service, says: There was no sign of liv-
ing person on the schooner when we got
to her. The wreck drifted with the sweep.
ing current a quarter of a mile south of
the station. In the binding sand and snow
storm we dragged our gun to her and made
shot at her, but before could get
time to shoot the second shot there was
nothing TO shoot at. Among the wreckage
was the quarterboard, and on this was
painted the name of the vessel, Albert w.
Smith, You can see,' said the Captain,
as he hitched his rubber boot against a
piece of the hull of the craft, that she
was old and rotten" Without the slightest
effort he kicked huge chunks of the wood
apart.

A SUICIDE.
Frank Jacobs Shot Himself in

In a Crowded Ward, Yet the Report
Attracted No Attention.
How Did He Get tho Pistol Which
He Used?

Frank A.. Jacobs. n machihist. sixty
nine years of age. who formerly lived
at q Delaney street. committed suicide
in Bellevue Hospital. where he was
under medical treatment, by shooting
himself through the head with "A 80
calibre Colts revolver this morning.
The circumstances surrounding the
case are peculiar In n number OF ways.
In n large public institution like Belle

loaded revolvers in their possession.
Jacobs shot himself at 4 O'Clock. 1t

charge of the ward discovered the oc-
currence, n II was 6 O'Clock before
Warden O'Rourke was notified. The
name of the nurse is withheld by the
Warden, who says he fails to see that
he is in any way to blame.
Jacobs was taken to the hospital
three years ago by Herman W%oerner. OF

from a fractured hip, the result of "A fall.
