Morgan beach was badly washed
and some of the summer bungalows
there damaged. When the tide be-
gan to raise yesterday afternoon
people living In the house boats on
the South Amboy beach made ready
to move out at a minutes notice.
In fact some of the people stayed
out in the storm rather than VEN
ture into the boats which were sur
rounded by water.
Considerable trouble was expert
enced in keeping the coal barges
from drifting out into the bay at the
PENNSYLVANIA coal docks. In fasten-
ing ropes to the boats, two men were
washed or blown over board but
were rescued by others. a schooner
in the lower bay is reported as drag
ging anchor.
All street lights in the city were
out for considerable time last night.
This is supposed to have been due
TO the breaking of a wire. An alarm
of fire was turned in during the
storm last night. but the only blaze
discovered by the firemen was that
caused by the sparks from the brok-
en- wire. -.
The tin roof of the "Rippowan"
hotel which structure was recently
damaged by fire, was blown from the
ROOT and now hangs over in Augusta
street. 1t is a danger to traffic as 1t
is only held to the roof by a little
edge and may at any time drop into
the street. .
Many trees were damaged about
the city, some being entirely uproot-
ed. 1t is reported that what little
fruit remained on the fruit trees here

High Tide at Matawan

MATAWAN, May 5.-All COM
m%unication between this borough
and Cliffwood and other points north
by roadway was cut off last night
and again this morning by the ex-
IRENE high tide which accompanied
the severe storm that broke abou
4 o'clock yesterday afternoon. All
roads leading to the north across the
Matawan creek and meadows were
flooded and much of the traffic TO
and from Perth Amboy used what is
known as the back road. in through
Cheesequake, to South Amboy.
AS far as could be learned today
aside from a Number of trees being
damaged by the high winds, and the
roads being badly washed out in
some places, no other damage was
done.
Charles C. Hulsart, a well known
Grange speaker and farmer near
this place today stated that as yet
it is too early to tell exactly what
damage has been done to the crops
in MONMOUTH county and other sec
tons which had been visited by the
storm. He said that many of the
farmers had set out acres and acres
of their early tomato plants n
that these had been knocked down
ana lay lldl oH tut SIouhhs IL 10 ~
question whether oil not they have
been destroyed.
According to Mr.. Hulsart, the
farmers fear that the storm may be
followed by a frost and if this is the
case, the loss will amount to o
sands of dollars. Some of the fruit
that remained on the trees after
the frost of last month, was beat off
by the storm. but this was only a
small quantity of that which re-
mains.
TOTTENVILLE, May 5.-Staten
Island got the brunt of the storm
that swept up the coast yesterday
on a swift northeast gale that lash
ed the waters and turned small
streams into rivers. Although there
was no material damage done out
side of branches torn from trees and
electric light wires being blown down
Tottenville and vicinity was in the
grip of one of the worst rain storms
that has visited this section in some
time. The worst damage done was
made by the high tide which was the
highest seen here in years. The tide
last night al high water was up over
the tracks of The Staten Island Rapid
Transit at Richmond Valley and the
Mill bridge leading from Tottenville
Kreisch-rville was under water for
some distance making it dangerous
for automobile travel over that thor
oughfare. =
In the Raritan Bay Park section
the tide was SO high that 1t came
up over the roadway and for some
time the Shore House and a num-
Der of bungalows there were COM
pletely surrounded by water. A.
number of small boats broke away
from their ~fastenings but were re-
covered.
Timber in the lumber yard at the
foot of Main street, was only pre-
vented from drifting away by the
prompt work of the men employed
at the place, who went out in boats
towing the timber ashore. Several
barges in the Staten Island sound off
Tottenville drifted about dragging
their anchor from one side to an
other. The f%erryboat Perth Amboy
of the Staten Island Rapid Transit
was held up in the Tottenville slip
for about an hour last night because
of the high tide. A large truck on
the boat was unable to get off be-
cause of the floating bridge being
up too high to permit the truck be-
ing taken off the boat.
