New York, Nov. PA heavy north
west gale has been raging along the
coast for the past twenty hours. The
storm set in at sunset last evening,
blowing with great severity all night,
accompanied by heavy rain. In the
upper and lower bay the storm blew
with great fury and an unusual high
tide washed upon the Staten Island
shores, doing considerable damage to
docks, small boats and other crafts.
The Staten Island Rapid Transit
railroad track between Tompkinsville
and Stapleton was obstructed by
wreckage from piledrivers and a
small schooner was driven ashore and
the wreckage piled upon the railroad
track. A heavy sea ragged in the up
per 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
we're the French liner Panama, from
Bordeaux, and the fruit steamer Don
aid, from Jamaica. The only other
arrival up to noon was the Mallory
line steamer San Marcos, from Gal
weston.
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 greatest
damage done was along West street,
fronting the North river, where cell
lars were flooded. The rapid transit
tunnel was also flooded in many
places.

reports having suffered most in the
Pocono mountain district near
Stroudsburg, Pa. Sleet broke down
poles and wires for nearly mile.

tween Sutlern and Guttenburg. Both
