New York, November 24-A heavy northeast gale has been raging along the coast for the past twenty hours. The storm set in at sunset last evening blow ing with great severity all night. accom- panied by heavy rains.
 In the upper and lower bay the storm blew with great fury. and an unusually high tide washed upon the Staten Island shores. doing considerable damage to docks and other craft. The Staten Island Rapid Transit Railroad track between Tompkinsville and Stapelton was ob- structed by wreckage from pile drivers and a small schooner which was driven ashore. and the wreckage piled upon the railroad track A heavy sea ragged in the upper bay. Two steamers which arrived during the night remained at anchor off the quarantine station until noon. when the health officers tug succeeded in boarding them. These steamers were the French liner Panama from Bordeaux, and the fruit steamer Donald, from Jamaica. The only arrival up to noon was the Mall | Tory line steamer San Marcos, from Gal weston.
 The storm did considerable damage in the city. Windows in the upper rart of the city were blown In and a few roofs taken off. The greatest damage was along West street. fronting the North river. where cellars were flooded. The Rapid Transit tunnel also was flooded in many places.
 The Western Union Telegraph Company reports having suffered most in the Po- conc mountain district, near Strouds- burg, Pa. Sleet broke poles and wires for nearly a mile. Some of the Long Is- land wires were broken. The Postal Com pany reports heavy damage across the river between sufferne and Guntenberg. Both companies expect to have all re- pairs made by morning.
 The wind here blew from ss to 40 miles an hour this afternoon. The gale sent shipping scurrying to shelter In spite of the dropping of anchors and putting out of additional hawsers, many small boats and other craft were damaged or driven ashore
 In the East river tine tide rose to a height not remembered by tine oldest in- habitants. Great danage was done on all the islands lying in the river off the Herlem shore piers Icing carried away bathing pavillions washed off their foun- dations and outhouses swept into the flood and washed to rieces in .he waters of Hell Gate
 Asbury Park Injured.
 The storm struck Asbury Park, N J., with more force than any in recent years. The wind during the night at- tained velocity of seventy miles an hour and did much damage to cottages The great waves rolled across Ocean avenue and the surf rolled across the beach and into Wesley lake. overhowing it-some- thing that has never occurred since As- bury Park was located. The waters of the lake flooded cellars and made the streets in that vicinity almost impass- able.
 The Metropolitan Hotel, one of the largest at Asbury Park was left with out its roof and the rain ccured down into the rooms. causing n.Vch damage. The building is considerably damaged No trains reached Seabright today and none may for several days. A new inlet from the ocean to the Shrewsbury river has formed near Navesink and an exami- nation of 1t this afternoon indicates that it is deep enough for river steamers. Fifteen fishing boats were wrecked.
 Seabright is in darkness, as the high tide flooded the electric light plant.
