two gangs on the East side. Hundreds

guig running away. They found a man
on the sidewalk, suffering apparently

body. When the police returned to the
scene of the fight they found that the
first victim had crawled away. Later
a man was picked up in. the Bowery

Following the usual custom among
the roughs who tire identified with the

refused to talk to the police about the
fight.

ment wrought damage on land and
water amounting to many thousands
of dollars. The gale culminated In a
wind velocity of 54 mile an hour. Ap
parently solid sheet of water drove
across the city and thsre wa a precip
itation of one and one-half inches in
two hour.
The t,ale wa especially severe at sea,
causing havoc to shipping down the

wreckel The worst damage waa re
ported from Staten Island. The entire
fleet ot the Staten Island Yacht Club
was either sunk or wrecked.
FItESIDENT IN A STORM.
New York, SepLli President Roose
velt is resting quietly on his train to
night after another day of strenuous
and varied experience. While enroute
from Oyster Bay to New York, on the

a terrifying wind and rain storm, dur
ing which the vessel was In immediate
danger. Subsequently be visited tho
Immigration station on EUls Island,
New York bay, and made a thorough
Inspection of the institution.

In Hell Gate, a quarter of a mile off
the port bow of the Sylph, a tugboat,
having In tow a large three-m:ited
schooner, was capsized by the wind
n,ul wavves. She sank stern foremost,
but did not settle completely out of
sight for perhaps five minutes. Lieu
tenant wished to stand by to render
such assistance as he could, but Capt.
Broinard, an experienced pilot. w"ho
was at the wheel, declared It would be
foolhardy for the Slyph to attempt a
rescue In such a etorrh. The president
knew nothing, of the capsizing of the
tugboat until nearly an hour after. He
then expressed the wish that some as
sistance might have been rendered.
