Bad Weather in New York.

New York, Dec. 25.-A driv-
ing snowstorm, accompanied by
furious squalls that at times rose
to almost hurricane proportions,
struck the city early today. Low
ering, black clouds pressing
down on a bank of sea fog and
the dense character of the snow
fall combined to produce for
nearly half an hour 50 deep a
darkness that lights were lit in
all the downtown streets and
along the river fronts. During
this period many ferryboats and
other craft lest their bearings
completely and the harbor re-
sounded with the whistles of yes
sells cautiously cropping their
way through the gloom. One
Brooklyn boat, heading for the
Manhattan side, found herself off
the Battery, several blocks away
from her slip. Ocean steamers
bound in and out were compel
led to stop and lie to until the
darkness lifted. The ferryboat
John G. Carlisle, carrying immi
grants from Ellis island, crashed
into the steamboat Taurus off the
Battery, but both vessels escaped
with slight damage. The dark
ness lifted almost as quickly as
it settled down and the snow was
succeeded by clearing skies, high
gales and rapidly falling tenn
perature, the mercury going
down 10 degrees, from 81 to 10,
within three hours. SO fierce
was the gale during the afternoon
that many pedestrians were
thrown and in some instances
were seriously injured.
Around "Cape Flatiron" at
Broadway and Twenty-third ST,
the wind ragged in gusts of almost
cycIonic fury. Here one man
was dangerously hurt by being
struck with fragment of large
plate glass window, blown out Of
an adjacent building.
Towards evening the wind,
which had at times attained a
velocity of 60 miles an hour,
died down, the mercury continu
ing to drop until at 10 o'clock it
touched 10 degrees above zero
with indications e still lower
figures during the night. In all
about dozen persons were re.
ported by the police to have been
injured by falls or flying pieces
OF debris during the day. The
total snowfall was only about
half an inch.
