A NKW YORK CVCLONE. In thc over SO IlOl'SIC AND NlvNATE. whlHkcd Tbluics Arouud Kallier Lively. Nkw York, Aug. 24. A cyclonic storm struck this city last night before mid night. The wind blew a gale and tbc rain fell in torrents. The storm was by far thc most severe experienced in this city this summer. There was no thunder ami no lightning, and there was not the brief, heavy fall of rain char acteristic of August storms in this region. Instead the storm was pre ceded by an overcast sky, occasional light shower and an atmosphere sultry to a painful degree. Then came the out break that startled those who were on the streets. A gentle breeze began to nlieve the sultriness just before 11 o'clock. Within 10 minutes it had in creased to a -violence that was cal culated to frighten thc timid. It whis tled round every corner; it caught every light object, a hat, umbrella, or stray newspaper and whisked it off. Thc rain came soon after the wind and it was not Uo'jO .w, but a deluge. The high wind carried lUc water through the air so that its volume was apparently great! v in excess of thc actual fall. It was driven into the streets and over the pavements, a.nd pedestrians had a hard time of it. Asm ky Park. N. J., Aug. 24 Thetwo masted fishing schooner, Mary F. Kelly of New York, Capt.
