4 WSm D THE EAST
Swept Destructively Over New Jersey
Harlem and Long Island.
SEVERAL VILLAGES WRECKED.'
Many Casualties in the Wake of the Storm'
Three Lives Lost in Cherry Hill, N.'
J., and One in Woodhaven, I. I.'
Long Island and Hudson River Towns
in the Path of the Cyclone. i
I
A tornado that, it seems, originated in
New Jersey, east of Trenton, passed over the
upper part of New York City at 4 p." .mi,1
swept over Long Island, passing through the
town of Woodhaven, and then went out
into the sea via Jamaica Bay. It car
ried death and destruction in its path.'
The first fatal result of the terrific
windstorm was the almost total destruction'
df the town of Cherry Hill, near Hackensack,'
N. J. Three persons were killed there, and
the homes of twenty families blown into
f kindling wood. At Asbury Park, Long
(Branch and other seaside .resorts the effects
of the storm were disastrous. In the Harlem
part of New York City no fatalities occurred.
The air was black and thick. Hailstones as
large as walnuts fell, smashing- many panes
of glass, and the wind blew away awninga
and signs. Bicyclists were blown from theii
'machines, and a panic prevailed arcing tha
women. Horses took to flight, and trees that
had stood for years were uprooted by the
blast. The tornado visited Long Island,
scattering destruction in many places, but
worst of all at Woodhaven, where fifty
houses were demolished. One woman was
killed and twenty persons were injured. The
force of the wind then passed out to sea,- and
its last manifestation was a waterspout in
Jamaica Bay. About twenty minutes elapsed
from the time when the tornado made its ap
pearance until it went out to sea.
The tornado first visited Cherry Hill, N.
J., a small village two miles north of Hack
ensack, and it was almost completely oblit-'
erated. Not an entire building remained
standing after the storm had spent its fury.
At this place three persons were killed and
twenty badly hurt by flying timbers, crash
ing houses or uprooted trees. The wind
currents were violent enough to raise1
huge houses and carry them some distance.
One man was drawn through a window and
hurled to the ground, and the railroad sta
tion, with the agent in it, was moved one
hundred feet up the track. Its inmate
was uninjured. Many aver that the
cloud was funnel shaped -mothers add inter
esting variations in the way of red spots
flickering like jack o' lanterns in the
centre of it. Still others say that it
was a simple blow, and that there was
nothine cyolonio about it. However it
was, the result is the same. The killed in
Cherry Hill were Baby Ahrens, eight months
old, torn from its mother's arms and found
dead in the road; killed by the hail and the
flying debris of wrecked buildings. Conrad
Friedman, hotel keeper, drawn by the
wind from a secondnstory win
dow; he fell on his head, fracturing his skull
and died almost instantly. Anton Boleski,
employed as a hostler by August Mund,
crushed to death when the barn in which he
was at work collapsed. The most seriously
Injured are: Eugene Chinook, skull
ractured and otherwise injured;
Charles Cole, of Paterspn,- N. J., se
verely wounded "on the head, and eyes so
badly hurt by hail that he will probably lose
the sight of one eye. William Ely, 8quireof
the village; several ribs fractured. Anto
nio Hosfman, several ribs fractured and in
ternally injured. William Suttle, nose, arm
and one leg broken and Injured internally.
Andrew Santel, one arm, leg and nose broken.
Between forty and fifty thousand persons
visited the scene of the ruin and devastation
at Cherry Hill on the day after the storm.
Some of the unfortunate people whose homes
were wrecked sat around during the day
wondering what was in store for them.
Nearly every visitor contributed toward the
relief fund and several thousand dollars were
raised. Hackensack and the other towns
responded promptly to the call for aid. At
Cherry Hill the Rev. A. Duryea, pasto
of the Reformed Church, conducted servioes
in th9 lot back of the damage! church. He
used the ruins of the rear porch aFlhe puP
pit platform. Three thousand people were
present. The choir was seated under an
apple tree. An organ had Deen obtained
and a young lady played it. i
After the tornado had completed Its work?
at Cherry Hill it swept on toward the Hudj
son River. Fenoes and crops were out down
for three miles more until Teaneck, the)
magnificent estate of Willian Walter Phelps;i
was struck. A hundred trees were blown
down and part of the greenhouses wrecked,'
but none of the buildings was damaged.'
The tornado sailed over the Palisades and
?assed above Harlem, just touohing New4
brk City with its lower stratum. f
In the northern part of New York City.next
visited by the storm, considerable damage
resulted from the fierce shower of hall, andi
a number of accidents were reported. . The,
hailstone feature of it was so severe that it is
difficult to remember a worse one. The
damage it caused will run into many thouJ
sands of dollars. Considerable damage wad
done tojthe upper end of Central Park and
neighboring streets. - J
Leaving Harlem, straight over Cypress
Hill, Long Island, swept the storm, wreck
ing the numberless gravestones In the cem
etery and tearing down trees by the dozen;
At Crescent street the fury of the gale seem
to veer along Jamaica avenue for half
mile or so, and I in this distance the:
were but few telephone, telegraph, an
trolley wires left standing. Persons, fright
ened out of their wits, ran hither and
thither, shrieking! and seeking plaoes of
shelter. Two oars of the Brooklyn and But
urban Railroad were derailed. They werf
filled with passengers at the time, but no
body was seriously hurt. The ears wer
saved from the full, fury of the gale by th
surrounding houses.
Woodhaven. Long Island, was directly in
the path of the tempest, and here a greaf
deal of damage was done to houses. Many
were badly tipped and twisted, and hen
again the scene of fright and confusion,
were re-enacted. I A heavy hallfall added
to the general dismay. The approxi
mate dimensions of the cloud at this tlmt;
was about that of . two city blocks. Th
wind did not seem to have a whirl, as i
the case with true cyclones, but hit right
straight out in the direction it was traveling;
Many residents of Woodhaven and its Tioin
lty were injured by flying missiles and fall
ing objects. The air was full of them, ang
almost ' everybody j caught in the blow BUS
tained a bruise or contusion. The only per,
son killed at Woodhaven was Mrs: Louisa
Petroguien. Seventeen persons were badly
injured. j
The storm sweptjwith terrible force over a
strip of country about twelve miles wide la
the tobacco-growing region of Connecticut.)
The hail riddled the plants ahd the entire)
crop of the Suffleld region is reported ruined,1
causing a loss to Connecticut farmers of not
less than $200,000. i ,
At Asbury Park, N. J.. the race track
was flooded and drenched with hail,'
and the bicycle j races were abandoned.!
The storm evidently spent a great deal of.
its force before it j struck Sandy Hook. It(
seems to have traveled directly along the
coast, taking in everything from Atlantic
Highlands to Cape, May.
After practically wrecking Woodhaven,
the cyclone turned off toward the southern
coast of Long Island, where it passed out to
sea.
A FAMILY OF FIVE DROWNED.
One Child In the Mother' Arms and Ona
Entangled In a Toy Boat.
Perry Tuffts, iorty-flve years old, thai

xuuus scaneu oui in a smau Doac witn nia
family at 9 o'clock a. m. He intended to go
to Bluff Point topick currants and take a
day's outing. The boat had a small sail,
which probably was too heavy for it in the
high wind.
Nobody witnessed th accident, which is
supposed to have occurred at about 11
o'clock, as Tuffts's watch stopped at that
hour. People near Sanderson's dock noticed
In the water an object which proved to be
the toy boat that one of the children had
been towing. The string of the boat was
soon seen to be tangled round the body of
the child. A boat was procured, and the bod
ies of the family were taken from the water.
One of the children was in the mother's
arms. j
The water was about "sixteen feet deen
where the bodies Were found. The boat waa,
found afterward floating bottom up
