FROM t Savsrai Lives Ars Lost--Railroad* y Are Badly Interfered With-- | Telegraph Wlree Down.; , | Boston.--New England was In the embrace of a terrific northeast storm Sunday that caused great -damage to property, much suffering and some deaths. Train service and telegraphic communication ware' demoralized. The gale drove a tide into Massa­ chusetts bay, which nearly equalled that of the famous storm of 1851, the wet snow prostrated wires, telephone, telegraph, electric lfght and trolley, and railroad trains were stalled. Thres persons lost their lives in Everett and Chelsea by the Budden rise of the tide. The storm's destructive powers were unusually extensive and severe. Its center was somewhere off Nantuck­ et, but the gale swept over the greater portion of New England and was ac­ companied by a heavy fall of snow. In this city the tide went across At­ lantic avenue on the water front, and filling hundreds of cellars, caused an estimated damage of over |1,GOQ,OO0.; Fallen wires ,for a radius of twenty or thiry miles around Boston and throughout southeastern Massachu­ setts and Rhode Island made it nece* sary to cut out completely electric lighting plants in those communities that were served by the overhead sys­ tem. Large cities, such as Cambridge, Somervllle, Lyon, Brockton, Provi­ dence, Fall. River and New Bedford, were in darkness except for the light afforded by the full moon* Newport, R. I.--The wind attained a velocity of over seventy miles an hour' Sunday, and at high tide the waves broke against the life-saving station at Price'B Neck. On Nantasket beach, in Hull, the damage to property is es­ timated at 9100,000. New York.--New York and its en­ virons were practically storm-bound Sunday for the first time this winter. The west wing of railroad service was almost wholly cut off, wire communi­ cation in every direction was crippled, metropolitan streets were blocked with snow, and shipping, even within protection of the harbor, suffered con­ siderable damage. A small tidal wave swept into the harbor and with occasional fury dashed over the battery sea wall and flooded many cellars. * Three deaths In the city were charged to the severity of the storm. The victims were men who had spent the night vainly seeking shelter and food and finally succumbed to ex­ posure. More than fifty persons were Injured by falls.

P e n n s y l v a n i a : tJt.'lS , ' Maine. • v 'r * "" " it ^ Boston.--With the news of tie prob­ able loss of the big five-masted schoon­ er Davis Palmer with her crew of 12 men, off Boston harbor, and of (he wrecking of nine other vessels along the Massachusetts coast, the opening chapter of the toll taken on the sea by •the great storm which swept, Sunday and Monday, New England was bare to the world. Capt Cod is still cut off and with the restoration of communication there It is feared that a tale of marine disasters and' storm damage un­ equalled in years will be related. Fifteen lives are known to have been lost in New England, three , lit Chelsea and Everett and 12 through the wrecking of the Davis Palmer. Five million dollars' loss is the esti­ mate made of the havoc wrought in and around Boston by the blizzard which swept New England, and. drove a record tide over the cost. Thirty-two cities and towns were plunged in darkness, owing to the cut­ ting off of the electric light service. The storm was easily the greatest that New England has experienced in 11 years. All along the coast, phe­ nomenal tides were reported. In many places sea walls were 'battered to pieces, boulevards ruined and curbs and houses along the shore destroyed. In Boston the tide swept over the wharves- across Atlantic avenue, afid as far Inland as the Chamber of Com­ merce. It is estimated that the dam­ age in this section will reach at least $500,000. The worst damage was In Chelsea and Everett, where, it is believed, it will be several weeks before the tide- gate on We Island End river can be repaired and the flooded district re­ claimed. Having escaped through the snow, scantily clad, and many of them bare­ footed, the residents of the submerged section of Chelsea had to stand for hours in the blizzard waiting for wa­ gons to take them into,shelter. Hun­ dreds of the homeless were taken care of in relief stations established in public schools and churches. New York.--The severest storm Ex­ perienced In the east in 20 years tied up traffic In cities from Pennsylvania to Maine and disarranged train sched­ ules in half a dozen states, according to reports received here.
