GALE Sweeps NEW YORK
Damage on Manhattan Estim-
ated at $3.50, 900.
WREcKAeE sTREws THE SHORE

Terrific Storm Strikes Staten Island
and Extends Into the Metropolis
New Jersey Shore Resorts Sub
merged-Rases Tide.
New York, Nov. 25.-A heavy north
east gale, accompanied by heavy rain,
ragged along the coast yesterday. In
the upper and lower bay the storm
blew with great fury. An unusually
high tide washed upon the Staten Is
land shores, doing considerable dam
age to docks, small boats and other
craft. A heavy sea ragged In the upper
bay.
The storm did considerable damage
in the city. Windows in the upper
part of the city were blown in and
a few roofs taken off.
The effects of the storm are very
manifest at Brighton Beach and Coney
Island Breakwaters and bathing pa
villions, board walks and other acces-
sories suffered much damage. OFF
Manhattan Beach can be seen a cap
sized schooner. Whether her crew got
to shore safely or not cannot
| be learned.
The fullrigged ship, Flottbek, which
went ashore at Monmouth Beach dur
ing the gale, is resting on the sands,
apparently little the worse for her
experience and her crew are being
cared for by the life-savers.
The Tribune estimates the damage
done by the storm on the northern
shore of Long Island to the Connects.
cut line at S350,000.
Shore Strewn With Wreckaee.
Driven by the terrific northeast gale
| thl highest tide ever known along the
north shore of Long Island swept in
| land, leaving q ribbon of wreckage
that girts the shore front from AS
toria, in Long Island city, out to
Greenport on the extreme end of the
island. Thousands of dollars damage
was done. Docks, boat and bathing
houses were wrecked and fleets Of
yachts which had been drawn up in
supposed safe winter quarters were
ftoated off by the high tide and left
stranded in many instances more than
half mile inland. Traffic was sus-
pended on two branches of the Long
Island railroad.
Probably the greatest damage was
done at North Beach, where more
than 100000 worth of docks, pavilions
places of amusement and other prop.
erty was destroyed.
Asbury Park Badly Damaged.
The storm struck Asbury Park N
j., with more force than any in re.
cent years. The wind during the
night attained a velocity of 70 miles
an hour and did much damage to cot
tages. The great waves rolled across
Ocean avenue and the surf rolled
across the beach and into Wesley lake
overlooking it, something that never
occurred since Asbury Park was 10
Gated The water of the lake flooded
cellars and made the streets in that
vicinity almost impossible. The Me
: tropolitan hotel, one OF the largest al
Asbury Park, was swept of it's roo
and the rain soaked down into the
f.. rooms, causing much damage. The
piazzas of the Hotel Strand were tori
off and the building considerably dam
aged. Trees have been stripped anC
the streets Uttered with trees, part!
of roofs, verandas and shingles.
