FIERCE VELOCITY OF THE WIND I At Sandy Hook It swept by at the Rato of Sovonty-flvo Miles an Hourr-dreat Damage at Several Watering Flacos Along the Coast. New York, Oct 13. A veritable hurrl- enno has swept over this section of tho country. Sundny nnd yestordny tho wind blow with tcrrillc forco, renching, nt Sandy Ilook, nvoloclty of sovonty-flvo miles an hour Sunday night. Tho tides roso to n height ninny feet groator than has boon soon for yonrs, ana trio wnvos all along tho Atlantlo const swept In with n forco that carried evorythlng boforo them and did dnmngo to tho amount of hundreds of thousands of dollnrs. Sandy Hook nnd points along tho Jersoy coast felt tho fury of tho storm most of all, but Coney Island oxpcrionceil, so far as hits yot boon lonrnod, tho most direful results. Tho lionchos wero swept clean, pnvllllons overturned nnd carried soawnrd, bathing housos nnd bonrdwalks, everything not far Inland on tho famous Island was torn up and piled high beyond tho coast lino or enrriod out to son. At Brighton Beach tho stono walks in front of tho big hotol wero undor water, and tho fomous Soldi concert hall was In undated nnd partially carriod nwny. Tho well kept lawns In front of tho Oriental ho tel and Manhnttan Beach hotel wero laid wnsto and tho lower portions of Uio hotels Hooded. Innumerable smaller buildings wero simply picked up bodily and enrriod awny by wind or waves. Along tho Jorsoy coast most of tho dam ngo dono was to piers nnd to breakwaters. Preparations hnd been made, as forewarn ing of tho storm had been glvon some days bpforo. As yet very llttlo dnmago to shipping has boon roported, for on account of wnrnlng nymy crafts delayed sailing, nnd othors that had cleared returned for a safo anchorage Far Hockawny exporloncod yesterday tho worst wind nnd wavo storm in its ex istence. Tho water, pounded up with tor rillo forco by tho great waves, pourod through tho streets, flooded cellars, washed over lawns nnd carriod away small build ings. Tho hotels and summer housos wero surrounded nnd threatened with destruc tion. Hog Island added anothor big sec tion to that portion that had previously gono to sea, and another such storm would wlpo It and several other adjoining dis tricts out of existence altogether. Tho ferryhouso dock, boardwalk nnd pavllllon of tho Far Hockawny Improve ment compnny woro totnlly wrecked. Tho Casino, tho United States hotel, tho Tnck apausha Houso and tho Dolphin hotel wero among thoso buildings with at least two feet of water on their ground floors. At Wavo Crest the damage will amount to about $50,000. Nearly all the Improve ments made by tho Lancaster Improve ment company near this placo within tho last two years nro washed away, piled up in brokon musses or burled undor tons of sand. A great deal of damngo was dono ot Edgemcro, and tho tldo has risen so high ns to threnten to undennino tho Edgo mero hotel. This huge structure was thought to occupy a placo of safety, but nothing soomed to bo safo In yesterday's rush of tho waves. At Averno soveral summer cottages wero lifted from their foundations and completely wrecked. In Now Jorsey all tho lowlands woro under water, and the uunl wnshouts of rnllronds lying nlong tho const nro re ported. In this particular tho eloctrio roads sufforod most. At Sandy Hook It was a fearful night for tho observer, nnd for all who had reason to venture within sight of tho seas. Tho wnvos broko higher than over before, and at ono time tho old tower, which Incoming and outgoing ships signal, shook and tottered as though It would bo blown over. Tho storm was tho most devastating that has visited Seit Islo City since tho great Etorm of 1889, which was accompanied by a tidal wnvo. Tho streets wero Hooded nnd many hotels nnd cottngos nlong tho nar row strip of sand between To wnsond's nnd Corson's lntots wero wrecked or badly damaged. Tho Brunswick hotel, tho finest structure on thnt portion of tho coast, fell In amass of ruins. North of Sea Islo City tho fronts of many of tho cottages have been undermined. Sumo of tho cottagos havo already fallon, and others are ready to fall. Sea Islo City has been entirely cut oil from train con nection since Saturday. Tho branch of the South Jersey railroad, which was in tho courso of construction to Ocean City, is washed away for fully half n mile. Long Branch was troatod to one of tho grandest sights over witnessed thoro. Groat rollers camo In from tho son and clashed themselves with torrlflo forco against tho bulkheading, with a sound like a bombardment of heavy guns. Somo of tho rollers crested tho piers unit pourod into ocouu avenue. fVAt Asbury Park thousands of people lined tho shore nnd watched tho fury of tho waves and the destruction that cams with overy breaker. Hour after hour tho pounding continued and overy movablo thing within tho roach of the waves was used ns n battering ram to break down tho structure on the boaoh. Tho grant boardwalk was pounded to pieces In many place. Tho marble monument, which marks the spot whero tho New Era wont down in the unrly days of Asbury l'ark, was undorminod by tho waves and top pled over Into tho seu. In Egg Harbor City many housos were unroofed, and ninny pooplo wero forced Into the streets. Atlantlo City Isolated. Atlantic Citv, Oot. la.

After singing by the choir tho Archbishop delivered an Impressive sermon setting forth examples for the children to use as guides. Upon the conclusion of the sermon His Grace asked tho children to the altar railing to iccclve the sacrament.
