DEATH 1N lllllCEGALES

A Terrific CyclOne Cuts Through From
New Jersey to Long Island.

AT LEAST SIX LIVES LOST.

More Are Believed to Have Been Killed, and
Hundreds Were Injured—Cherry Hill,
a. New Jersey Village, Wiped Out.
Gotlien and Union Course Swept.

HACKENSACK, N. J ., July 15.—A terrific
storm swept over this section Saturday
afternoon, doing great damage. At Cherry
Hill, a small village a few miles from this
place, it developed cyclonic fury, attended
by- the demolition of the village and a
number of deaths. Cherry Hill received
the full sweep of the Wind’s fury, and.
within a minute after the storm broke 27
houses, nearly the entire number in the
village, were wrecked.

The cyclone made a clean path through
the center of the place, carrying everything
before it. Houses were unroofed or thrown
down, trees were uprooted and the crops
in the fields leveled to the ground. At the
present time it is known that five Were
killed, and the injured are numbered by
scores, many of them, it is believed, fatally.

The dead are: Conrad Friederman, h0-
tlekeeper; three unknown Polish laborers
and a child of William Ahrens.

The storm came from the northwest,
heralded by great banks of clouds and a
stirring breeze. The atmosphere was warm
for a. time and then cold, and after a sec-
ond rush of warmth came the cyclone, car-
rying death and destruction in its course.
The storm center was about 300 feet in
width, and the strip over which it passed
is a mass of ruins. N ot a building in its
path was spared. Those that were not
completely demolished Were unroofed or
moved from their foundations. Great
masses of wreckage were carried through
the air by the gale, adding to the destruc-
tion. ‘

Lives Crushed Out.

Among the buildings wrecked was the
Dutch Reformed church, a brick structure,
recently erected. The depot, standing be-
tween the’ tracks of the New York and
New J crsey railroad, was demolished. The
wind first tore the roof from the building
and landed it 100 feet away. Then the
walls fell. The station agent was taken
from the ruins later badly injured. The
freight depot was also wrecked and the
big platform carried several hundred feet
from itsplace.

Opposite the depot VVGB the-hotel of the
village. kept by Conrad Friedcrman. In
the hotel at the time besides the proprietor
were his wife and three children. Just as

' the storm broke he hurried them into the

street, fearing that the building was un-
safe. Then ho returned to secure some
money in the cash drawer and had reached
the door to the street when the whirlwind
struck him. He was caught up and hurled
15 or 20 feet to the ground. As he lay
there the building toppled over upon him,
crushing out his life. His son Willie was
fatally injured by the falling timbers.

The infant of the Ahren’s family was
lying in a crib when the crash came. The
house was unroofed, and a flying stick
struck the child on the head, tearing off
one of the ears as cleanly as though sever-
ed by a surgeon’s knife, and causing death.
When the husband, who is a New York
business man, returned, the sun was shim
ing brightly, and his wife was sitting
amid the ruins with the body of her dead
child in her arms.

Two of the Polish laborers who were
killed were known as Hen and John and
were employed on the farm of Nathaniel
Zabriskic. They had sought shelter in a.
barn, which was carried away by the
storm. Half an hour later their mangled
bodies Were dragged from the ruins. The
third Polo killed met his fate in a similar
wa .

y Governor “'erts Asked For Aid.

Hardly a person living 'in the track of
the storm escaped injury. All are cut and.
bruised, and many, it is thought, are fa-
tally injured. Alexander Jones, the vil-
lage blacksmith, was buried beneath the
timbers of his shop. He was taken out
badly bruised and sent to the hospital. It
is not thought he will recover.

At the hamlet of Fairmount, a, few miles
from Cherry Hill, six houses were blown
down and a dozen persons injured.

The news of the disaster at Cherry Hill
was soon brought here, and all the avail-
able physicians in town were started at
once for the scene. Governor Werts has
been asked to send tents to the homeless.

The storm swept from Cherry Hill to
Underclifi; There its effects were not so
disastrous, for it merely grazed the vil-
lage. Many trees in that vicinity Were up-
rooted, and the roofs of several houses bor-
dering on Undercliff were started from
their foundations.

Mid-New Jersey caught an end of the
western visitor. Somerville felt a corner
of hit, and a hailstorm swept through the
Rockaway valley, stripping the fruit trees.
No one can yet estimate the damage done
in that section. In Somerset county the
grain crop is flattened and will probably
prove a total loss. .

Plainfleld caught a portion of the storm.
Skylights, conservatories and greenhouses
were battered in by the hailstones. The
damage in Plainfleld will amount to thou-
sands Of dollars.

THE STORM (_)_1_I__ LONG ISLAND.

One Woman Killed, Sixteen Persons In) ured
and Thirty Houses Wrecked.

Woonuavnn, N. Y., July 15.—Wood-
haven and Union Course suffered almost
as much as did Cherry Hill, N. J. Houses
Were unroofed and blown down. Only one
fatality so far ‘has fb‘een reported, but 16
are reported injured.

The storm at these points was similar to
that at Cherry Hill—re. whirlwind. Houses
Were blown down” 9nd trees uprooted in
the path of the storm. The tract over
which it swept Was: a mile long by an
eighth ofla mile wide.

The dwellings of Henry Wells and Wil-
liam Smith on Shaw avenue, Union
Course, were lifted from their foundations
and turned completed over. Harry Smith’s

hotel 'at Un’ion‘cdurse' station? nested!

Wrecked. The wind0ws. Were blOwn out
and the roof carried aWay. The big horse
sheds. were demolished». , Union Course
schoolhouse, a brick building, was blown
down. The wagon and ,igblacksmith shop
of Fritz Shifar, on the Rockaway road, was
completely demolished, and 20 wagons in
the shop were destroyed. '

Mrs. Jennie Petriquan, who lived at
Union Course with her husband and moth-
er, left her house just asthe cyclone swept
along. The air was full of flying debris,
and she was struck on the head by a rafter,
torn from the roof of the adjoining school-
house. Her neck was broken, and she died.

Thirig' dwelling houses were completely
wre'"0ke . They were mostly occupied by
poor people. The residence of William
Blue was damaged, and a stove was upset.
The house cpught fire and was burned to
the ground‘. _

' The roof was torn frcm the Catholic
schoolhouse on Third street, Woodhaven.
The roof of Smith’s hotel was found a
mile from the site of the hotel. The real
estate office of Henry Bennett at Union
Course was wrecked. '

Of those most seriously injured scarcely
one escaped a transit through the air. Missi
Ada Bainbridgo was in an outhouse when
the cyclone struck it. House and girl Were
carried,,several hundred feet, the girl be-
ing severely bruised, but not seriously in-
jured. Mrs. Henry Goodman of Union
Course was injured in the head by debris.
Mrs. James Fanning was seriously injured
about the head by the fall of an outhouse.

GOTHAM FELT THE BLAST.

It Is Feared That Several Persons Were
Drowned In the Harlem River.

NEW YORK, July 15.—The upper part of
the city, from One Hundred and Tenth
street to Fordham, was swept by a fierce
storm of wind, rain and hail. The storm
raged for 15 minutes, during which time
thousands of dollars’ worth of damage was
done. It was with a light rain that the
storm started. In a. few minutes this light
rainfall turnedth a downpour, accompanied
by a high wind. It had not rained more
than five minutes when hailstones came,
the size of hickory nuts.

Frightened people ran through the
streets, looking for places of safety from
the falling hailstones and the falling glass
and the bricks that were blown from the
tops of houses. Trees were uprooted, awn-
ings ,torn from their fastenings and carried
high in the air and signs blown down.
Horses dashed through the streets, being
left by their frightened drivers to care for
themselves.

Along the Harlem river the scene was
wild and fearful. Boats were capsized,
and sails were blown across the waters,
which were whipped into team by the fury
of the wind. Two boats; in the Harlem
river. just off the Madison avenue bridge,
Were seen to capsizo. J fist at that time
the waves were pitching high. Many peo-
ple saw these two boats go under the wa-
ter, saw many people on them that were
thrown into the water, saw them battling
with the waves, but were not able to give
them help. It is feared that several were
drowned.
