A-4ROD STORM
New Jersey Coast Ssruck by
Terrifying Hurricane.
ATLANTIC CITY WIRES WERE CUT OFF
Hotels, PaviliOns and summer Resi-
dences Suffered Severely Down
by the Sea-State Camp re-
ceived Winds Full Fury

ATLANTIC CITY, N. j., Sept H.
| The tropical storm which struck the
New Jersey coast was one of the Sc
! verest experienced for u long time. The
wind blew with hurricane force and
while it lasted kept up a speed of sew
enty miles an hour. The storm was
terrifying to a degree, but the damage
vas not as great as at first IA be
lieved. A conservative guess places
the entire damage at $25 900 or $50
900. The telegraph and telephone lines
leading out of the city are down. and
the fact that the city was cut off from
connection with the outside world
started wild rumor that the great re-
sort had been entirely swept away.
Great damage was done along the
board walk, where the one story pa
vilions suffered to a considerable eX-
tent. The storms fiercest attack was
made on the McClay apartment build
ing at Pacific and South Carolina ave-
nues. The roof was more than half
torn off, entailing a loss of $500.
The other largest damage was done
ut the Hotel Strand, situated on Penn
sylvania venue. close to the beach.
This hotels handsome brick and frame
porch was completely ripped out and
demolished by the wind. Outside of
these places the damage otherwise con-
sisted of broken plate glass windows,
tin roofs curled up, awnings blown
down and trees uprooted, while in the
Inlet district, at the upper end of the
city, a number Of boats were torn from
their moorings and several lighthouses
were blown over.
The state camp at Sea Girt was ex-
posed to the full fury of the storm.
Tents and flooring were lifted bodily
and carried over a hundred feet.
Big bulk windows gave way under
pressure of the storm, and pieces Of
the glass flew in all directions. At this
point DR.. Richard Pancoast, aged sew
enty years, Of Philadelphia, was blown
down by the wind on the board walk
and suffered a fracture of the hip. He
vas hurried to the City hospital.
Among the hotels whose roofs were
damaged in the storm was the MARI
borough, Metropolitan, Kuenhler, Ken
ilworth and Richmond. None was very
seriously damaged.
Railroad trains left on schedule time,
and a large number of tlmid visitors
hurriedly left town. The 2 O'clock eX-
press was the longest train out of this
atty this season.

FreehOIders to Give Central Jer-
Sey Traction Company PERMITS
sion to Cross Bridge.
FOR THIRD READING.
Lawyer SlIzer Representing the Company
Objected to the Amount of Bond Demand
ed, but FreehOlders Refused to Reduce
the Sum-Company Wants a Say as to
the Kind of Bridge.
Special TO The E0entng NesOs).

New Brunswick, Sept. 17.-The
Board of Freeholders, yesterday, at a
further hearing given upon the matter
of a franchise for the right of way OF
the Central Jersey Traction Company
over the Cheesequake bridge, took up
the ordinance by sections and adopted
it and then ordered it e%ngrossed for a
third hearing at the first meeting in
October. Lawyer Silzer, for the COM
pany, said they objected to only one
or two things. They desired the surety
bond reduced from $40, 900 to IS, 600
and asked the board to let them have
half the say as to the kind of bridge
that should BIZ built when a new one
was put up, inasmuch as they were to
pay half. He said the board should
not deal with them harshly as they
had saved the county IS, 900 in grading
in their fixing up the road between
Keyport and the bridge tor a width of
fifty feet which the board would soon
make a county road. They had also
raised the grade of the approach to
the bridge which was before under
water at every high tide.
The board declined to reduce the
amount of the bond but did agree to
remove the forfeiture clause in the
section where the board declared that
unless the company repaired the bridge
when required they would do it and
collect from them and if they failed
to settle within ten days that their
rights would be forfeited. Solicitor
Willis said this bill..could not be col
lected under such circumstances. The
board then agreed to take the matter
up in October for final passage.
The board will meet here on Sep
tember 23 at 1 O'Clock to confer with
kthe Somerset county board over the
building of q road to Franklin Park.

PRESIDENT IN PERIL
Yacht Sylph, With Roosevelt
Party, Braved Severe Storm.
WAS A HURRICANE Al HE'LL GATE
Landed at Navy Yard, where, as the
Storm Had Abatcd In Fury, 1t
Was Decided to Go ON to
Ellis Island.

NEW YORK, Sept. 1T.-While prcsi-
dent Roosevelt was III route from Oys-
ter Bay to New York on the naval
yacht Sylph he passed through II terri
flying wind and rain storm, during
which the vessel was in imminent dam
ger.
Shortly after 10 o'clock, nearly an
hour later than had been arranged,
President Roosevelt boarded the Sylph
in Oyster Bay. He was accompanied
by Mrs. Roosevelt and their son ker-
NIT, Mrs. Richardson, Il New York
friend of Mrs. Roosevelt; Secretary
Loeb, Professor Albert B. Hart of
Harvard college, Professor J. b. Moore
of Columbia university, G. Grant La
Fargo of New York and Jacob A. Riis
of Richmond Hill, Long Island. In adj
dition the guests of the president In
Guided members of the executive staff
and representatives Of the press.
When the Sylph weighed anchor the
skies were dark and Hrbiddipg, and as
the vessel drew out of the bay u light
rain fell. Less than an hour after the
Sylph had entered Long Island sound
she ran into a terrific wind and rain
storm. The storm increased In sever
fly rapidly, and off Fort Schuyler it de-
veloped into q hurricane. The wind
blew, according to an estimate made
by Lieutenant Preston, commander Of
the Sylph, at the rate OF siXty-hve
miles an hour. The Syiph, a compare
lively small! vessel. pitched heavily
and off Wiilett's point listed very
sharply 10 starboard. The president
and his guests had been forced to go
below, and, beyond q drenching, none
Of them suffered Inconvenience.
The storm became ever more severe
as the vessel n2ared He'll Gate. The
waves and wind swept the deck, max.
ing it almost impossible for the sailors
to remain exposed t. their force. The
baggage Of the party, consisting prin-
cipally of hat boxes and dress suit
cases, was swept about the deck, ana
everything movable az deck had to be

clewed down TO prevent its being swept
overheard. In Hell Gate, a quarter Of
q mile off the port bow of the Sylph,
q tugboat having In tow a large three
masted schooner was capsized by the
wind and waves. She sank stern fore
most, but did not settle completely out
of sight for perhaps five minutes. a
small boat from the tug put off with
the crew, except two men, who chung
to the bow until the vessel disap
peared. 1t appeared from the Sylph
that the two men were taken aboard
the yawl.
1t was the expectation that Mrs.
Roosevelt, Mrs. Richardson and some
of the guests of the president could he
landed ut T~wenty-third street, Mrs,
Roosevelt desiring to pass the day In
the city with relatives, Owing to the
| severity of the storm. which still
| was raging with furious energy, 1t
| was found impracticable to make II
landing at that point. Mrs. Roosevelt,
Mrs. Richardson, Kermit Roosevelt,
| Professor Hart and Mr.. La Fargo were
landed at the Brooklyn navy yard.
Rear Admiral Rodgers, comlnandant
of the yard, went aboard the Sylph and
after consultation with the president.
the storm meanwhile having abated
and the wind having yeered from south
east to west, 1t was decided that the
proposed visit to Ellis Island could be
made in safety. The Sylph weighed an
Choir and arrived off Ellis Island, where
the president and his party were
landed.
During the visit many interesting in
cidents occurred, the president acting
| upon his desire to go directly among the
immigrants themselves with n view of
ascertaining personally hew they were
treated. He was particularly interest
ed by the fact developed that forty-nine
out of fifty of the applicants for admis-
sion were supplied with American
money. The presidents interest was at,
tracted by II comely German woman,
| Adele Walter, from Leutendorf, who
| bore in a wicker basket a tiny seven.
| month-old babe. After chatting a mo
ment with her the president slipped a
| FIVE dollar bill into the hand Of Jacob
Riis to be given to the woman for her
child. She nearly tainted upon learning
that the gift was from the president Of
the United States.
