TERRIBLE NORTHEAST GALE.
GREAT DAMAGE DONE BYIT AT
ATLANTIC CITY.
Piers Demolished and Railroad Travel
on the Camden and Atlantic
Road Suspended.

ATLANTIC CITY On. j., Oct. IL
Ihe northeast gale that has been tray
eilng along the Atlantic Coast struck
THIS city this morning, and in connec-
ton with an extraordinary high tide has
caused considerable damage. Two of
the three piers along the ocean front
nave sustained the greatest damage so
lar. About 2OO feet of the iron pier at
the foot OF Massachusetts avenue has
been battered away. A section of the
wrecked schooner Metcalf, which was
lying near the pier, was broken by the
surf and for an hour or so it pounded
with terrific force against the piling Of
the pier. The piling withstood the bat
tering at first, but at last the middle
section went down with crash. The
mass of wood from the wreck is still
floating along the beach front and more
damage may be done by it.
The center Of the pier at the foot of
Texas avenue has partially given away.
1t is expected that the weakened part
will go out to sea before morning. The
bulkhead at Chelsea has been destroyed.
Railroad travel on the Camden and At
lantic Railroad has been suspended,
owing to the high water on the mead
ows submerging the tracks.
The entire force of the life-saving
crew are out tonight on the beach
watching for any ship in distress.
The cottages on the meadow side of
the city have been surrounded by water
all day, and the occupants have been
compelled to use boats to get to and
from their homes. The wind reached
velocity of fifty-five miles an hour to-
day.
Many railroad ties are floating in on
the beach tonight, and it is believed
they indicate the washing away of the
trolley railroad on Brigantine Beach.

BLOWING MORE FURIOUSLY.
ApprehensiOnS of Further Damage
From the Gales.

SEA ISLE CITY On. J), Oct 1.-THE
gale has ragged with great fury here to-
day and tonight. The meadows in the
rear of the city are flooded for miles and
as far as the eye can reach there is only
fOaming sea. The avenues and streets
are inundated by heavy breakers that
are washing in at the upper end Of the
city. All railroad travel is almost at
standstill and it will require much time
and labor to repair the damage done to
the washed out tracks.
This morning a big three masted
schooner apparently disabled and rid
ing under bare poles, was seen through
the mist a short distance at sea- A ships
yawl boat, bottom up, was seen at sea
this afternoon, which leads to the fear
that some vessel has foundered. Many
small yachts have been badly damaged
Ocean City is isolated, the railroad
leading leading into the town having
been badly washed out. The storm ap-
pears to be blowing more furiously to-
night and fears are entertained of the
damage that to-morrow's high tide will
