A MAN Kl LIED IN: BROADWAY Struck by a Broken Banner Pole Navk fiatlon in the Bay and Rivtra DSftV eult A Farry boat'a Pll.hi. -V" New York got lis share yesterday of lb storm that wrecked Galveston.

Luckily (or tb inhabitants of Manhattan Island, tbo character of the storm changM entirely -after It had Ml a trail of death and destruction to Southern and a It swept through tho northern part of that State, and through portions of the Middle WesL It was aa a sephyr In comparison with the hurricane of 'a few days before. Th storm1 struck the city Throughout Tuesday night It -was sUll and sultry, with a high humidity that made the atmosphere tike Blue. At 923 yesterday tnorplnf the wind fresh-' encd a bit, and was bowline alone at nliteji-mll-a-betir clip. Ten minute It bad Just doubled Its velocity and was blowing- at miles an hour. In another, ten mlautes It bad Increased to .48 miles, and at 10 o'clock It reached a maximum of 85 miles an hour.

Then It let up a little and started la again to work up to Its record, so that several during- the day It was going at a aUty-flve-mile clip, and pedestrian found It difficult, to get about the streets. In the afternoon the velocity of the wind varied trom 40 to 48 miles. Just enough to make swirling skirts a nuisance to the women, and hat that would not catch the bead firmly a trouble to the men. One of the most unpleasant features of the storm was the damage that It did to beadgear. Hats were whirled hither and thither.

Where the wind swept with great velocity through the narrow lanes between the high office buildings this state of affaire was particularly noticeable. Hats popped out of cars, and their owners bounded down the streets In bot pursuit. clutched their bats, that were peered to their chignons, while endeavor ing to keep their lock from blowing into their eyes. One ut the strangest things about th storm was that it did not lower the tem- Erature a bit. Bo far as the thermometer concerned, Kew Yorkers ought to nave en Just as hot yesterday aa they were on Monday, but the Is the natural enemy of humidity, and whereas the moist-tire registered as high as Wl on Monday, It was forced yesterday to lower its colors to about half way down the mast, ranging from 63 at 8 clock In the morning to 44 at 6 o'clock In th afternoon.

The thermometer, however, ranged from 81 to degrees. On the street four more degrees of heat were registered than on the top of the building where the Weather Bureau is Situated. A DEATH CAUSED BT THE STORM Th storm was responsible for one death In this city yesterday. One of the upright poles supporting a Bryan and Stevenson banner stretched across Broadway at Du- an Street snapped shortly before 10 o'clock and the broken end bit Charles Durfleld, twenty-three years old. of Birmingham, killing hint Instantly.

soon as the wind began to blow bard It was feared that the potaa were too light to resist the pressure put on them. Superintendent Hasen of tn Mutual Reserve Building determined to cut down the banner. Ma hl itiat V. I i wen it snapped and the broken end, Wind, came down with terrific force. Durfleld.

who was a bookkeeper for Ca-peen Company of Birmingham, was pass-" me company with his brother, VHlllam. twenty years old, and William Latham, also of Birmingham. The man who was struck was in the centre and-the broken end of the pole caught him squarely on the head, crushing his skull ilka an- eggshell and killing him Instantly. Latham and the younger Jurf leld were also struck and rendered unconscious. The body was carried Into a store and afterward taken, to the station house.

The Coroner later issued a permit for its removal to an undertaking shop. It will be sent to Birmingham this morning, and William Durfleld and Mr. Latham, who were not badly hurt, will accompany It. three men were here on their vacation and had made this their last stoppinc place before returning home. They arrived rwe in the early morning froth Niagara Fall and had visited Cincinnati and other Western pities.

They were on their way tn their hotel when the accident occurred. iHirfteld father Is connected with the Louinvtlie and Nashville Railroad In Birmingham, and Is well known to railroad men throughout the South.

In sli part of the city awnings were (typed from their fastenings and sent whirl-lug away before th wind. Many of the attachments became a menace to life and limb, and during the day the police ordered many of the awning supports taken down. rersong who bad twinging signs In front Of their establishments were also warned the danger and of their responsibility tor any accidents that might Some e.r those warned took their signs down At Fire Headquarters' the glass-roofed partment which la used by the Fire Alarm Telegraph Bureau was covered with a heavy canvas, some 30 feet square, which was fastened with galvanised wire. The wind managed to get under this canvas. and the last thing the department saw of St It-was being-whirled down-town-to -a more or Use shreflded condition.

JTHE WATEK HIGH AT THE BATTERY. The full effect of the wind was most ap parent at the Battery sea wait Many of the old boatmen, said they remembered few times when the. tide, and wave rose so' high as during yesterday. The walk along the wall was rendered lm passable and pray was thrown up continuously, drenching th lawns 30 feet away. Th walk trom the Barge Office to in Aquarium' looked like a Long island beach after a storm, the waves having brought up all kinds of tiebris and deposited on the park walk.

The Industrious Italians were busily at work gathering up the driftwood In spite of the spray that dashed over them. There wa. enough wood there to supply a num- ber of families for som time. Kraal! craft found -navigation perilous. The Haael Klrke.

one -of the small atde- from ocean liners to tne Barge Off lc with Immigrants, started Wand, and was swept Into the Js'orth River far out of her course. Ihe Little Silver of. the Patten Lin and the Bay Ridge of the Liberty Island Line were compelled to cast off from th Battery to avoid getting crushed against th wall. The Statea Island ferries kept gunning, but were drenched with the spray. When the Elberon arrived at the Battery from Long-Branch, several of th women passengers landed there were suffering Iron seasickness.

The Pleasure Bay. another of the Patten Line boats, la the effort to make fast to th Battery pier, war blown over so strongly that her le rail awash and she struck tho pier with a Bravjr thump. The Angler was the only one of the Fish, tng Banks boats that ventured out In th morning. Several of the racing seventy, footers, which are entered in the matches cheduled for to-morrow In the Lower Bay ccme down the Rast River In tow and anchored In the lee of Eolla Island for th ru'wester to subside, The tides in th East and Hudson Rivera tan like a mlllrace, and the pilots of th various ferryboats bad much difficulty In effecting landings.

were mad plaything by th wind. Many signs snd awnings in the streets of th borough were blown down, and In Uie suburbs a number, of trees were op-rooted. Travel on the open trolley -cars was made decidedly uncomfortable by the dust and fine sand which the wind picked up from the streets blew about In Clouds. The effects of the gal were most severe-, ly felt along the water front. Th ferryboats plying between Brooklyn and Manhattan, had difficulty all day long In making' their slips on the Brooklyn side.

On nearly every trip the boats were driven more or less out of their course by tb wind. Many yachts and other nleasura craft In Grmvesend Bay were torn from their moor ings and damaged. The schooner yacht Comet, owned by Col. William H. Langley, which was moored near the Atlantic Yacht Club house, dragired her anchor, and waa swung against the breakwater.

She was slightly damaged. The Misses Langley, daughters of CoL Langley, were aboard the boat at the time, and became greatly alarmed. A tug towed the yacht to an anchorage behind the breakwater, and the young women were taken ashore. The seventy-footer Yankee, owned by Harry Payne Whitney which waa anchored the clubhouse, was torn from her moorings and began drifting. The yacht was In danger of being seriously damaged when a tug got after her and took her in tow.

She was taken over to a Staten Island cove for safety. A heavy sea was running all day at Red Hook Point and at the North and South Piers. Atlantic Dock. At the Erie Basin gap the waves broke over one of the piers at Beard's Stores. Additional lines were put out to nearly all the aplps at Erie Baeln and Atlantic Docks as a precautionary measure.

The wind swept across Jamaica Bajrwltfe terrific force, and many small pleasur craft which had not been securely moored dragged their anchors. These boats were thrown against each other, and a number were driven ashore. About a score of these small boats were damaged. SAILING CRAFT SEEK SHELTER. Yachts and Catboata Driven Ashore The Direction of the Wind Saves Coney Island.

The Upper and the Lower Rav were Jashed Into fury by the wind yesterday. Balling craft sought the shelter of the bills of Staten Island, and rode out the gale on a lea shore. Steam craft found navigation difficult, and landings were made with difficulty. A number of Urge sailing vessels cam to anchbr rather than' brave the storm In the bay. Early yesterday morning the marine observer at Highlands reported that twenty sloops were anchored in the horseshoe at Sandy Hook, and that one had dragged her anchor and waa hard ashore.

Later It was learned that the yacht ashore was the schooner Fearless of Asbury Park. CapC Grant. When last heard from she was resting easily on a tnUd-bottom and expected to float off at Ugh tide. August Belmont's steam yacht Scout and the 70-foot racer Mfneola fwers at Sandy Hook at about 10:30 A. when the In.

creasing wind and sea, compelled them to leave. The Mlneola ran up the bay under ber Jib. and the Scout steamed for the New York Yacht Club station, at Atlantic Highlands. The wind was then blowing a gale from the southwest, with a nasty cross sea. At Coney Island the storm did less dam-sge along the beach -then was expected.

There was an unusually high- tide, but the gale atruck the young flood at an angle, thereby tending to check the rise. The chief marks of the storm were visible on the- beach, where in many places the sand "bad been gouged out and heaped Into seven or eight foot embankments. Had that storm come from the southeast Instead of the southwest the water would have come piling In here, and there would have been stories to tell of old Coney," said a bathhouse proprietor. As it was. we were all on the anxious seat When a fellow knows there's a hurricane loose outside somewhere and -he sees a blow like this one he's apt to think things are coming his way.

You can say we were al. mighty anxious about the outcome and watched the rising tide, not knowing when It would stop. The tide did not reach its record mark, but it was high ail the same, and for a time things looked dark. The only damage done along the water front wrenching and washing away of spile breakwaters here and there, but that Is rather expected this time of the year." Trolley cars were kept busy all day despite th storm. Hundreds of sightseers visited the beach to view the gale.

Beach was less fortunate than Coney Island. Many sailboats were driven ashore, among them the Marie, owned by P. Armour of the National Athletic Club. Two small sloop yachts went ashore at the Thirty-first 8treet, Bath Beach. At Ziegler'a bathing pavilion three small catboata were torn from their moorings and cast high on the beach.

While the wind was at Us height an extra heavy puff struck the pavilion. It broke a twenty by thirty foot bathing float from Us moorings Jf! an sent It high on shore. While one of the cat boats was being driven In shore Thomas J. 8mlth, a bathhouse attendant, tried' to save H. He Jumped into the surf, Intending to shove the boat off, but a plank coming in On a hug comber struck him on the head, rendering him hflpless.

W. a Shields, who had come to the beach to watch the storm, plunged Into the water, and. after a battle with wind and waves, succeded in brinaina' the unconscious Smith ashore. DAMAGE IN WESTCHESTER. Fruit Crops Injured by the Storm Shippino, Dangerous, on, the.

Trees were uprooted and several cattle barns blown down. There was a heavy sea on Long Island and the great combers which rolled shoreward made It so perilous for shipping that many craft sought shelter In Great Cow Bay, between Island and City Island.
