Heavy Storm Sweeps the West Coast of France, Causing Damage to Shipping and Sub- | merging Docks. in ENGLAND. PARIS, Feb, 28.—A tempest raged all night long on the west coast of France! and caused a tidal wave, which flooded the St. Francois district of Havre, The French line steamer La Brotagne was wnable to leave the harbor. Waves swept over the quays at La Rochelle nd did considerable damage. LONDON, Feb. %.—Dhe storm has passed away toward the coast of Scan- Ginavia, but belated reports establish the widespread character of the hayoc mhich ft caused throughout the United Kingdom, No great disaster has benn recorded, but the material damake done fg enormous. Reports of wrecks con- tlue to arrive, but only a few persons were drowned, considering the severity feted incidents was the exciting experience in the docks at Barrow of the new Chillan battle-ship Libertad, ee British cruiser Niobe and a big go steamer which broke from thelr oorings and drifted around and doing much damage and dislodging a huge portion of the dock wall.

Loaded with Passengers, the New Jersey, of the Pennsylvania Line, Bumps Her Way to New York Slip, and Women Faint and Try to Jump Overboard. Three Men Are Painfully Hurt, avd Ambulances Come on Hurry Calls When the Boats Land, but Happily There Is No Loss of Life. While groping her way up the North River from Jersey City to the Desbrosses street slip in a dense fog to-day the Pennsylvania ferry-boat New Jersey crashed into three other ferry-boats, creating a series of panics among the passengers, three of whom were injured seriously, and doing damage that will cost $5,000 to repair. More than fifty passengers in the various collisions, most of them women, were so badly shaken up and unnerved that they were unfit to attend to business to-day and returned to their homes In New Jersey, The most serious collision was the one between the New Jersey and the Erie ferry-boat Passaic, the second in the New Jersey's list. The Passaic hit the New Jersey on the women's cabin side, tearing a big hole in the planking. Twelve women fainted, and when the New Jersey poked her nose into the Desbrosses street slip soon afterward twenty more tried to leap from the deck to a raft. For a time it looked as if there would be loss of life, but the deckhands jacted promptly and prevented the women from jumping. WOMEN CARRIED OFF UNCONSCIOUS. As the boat bumped into the bridge at the end of the slip Policeman (Gray jumped aboard and assured every one that all danger was past. In the ‘enbin he found five women fn a dead faint, Deckhands carried them into the waiting room of the ferry-house, while Gray telephoned to Police Head- |quarters for all the available ambulances in the neighborhood. Two were isent from St. Vincent's Hospital and two more from Hudson Street. One of the latter had already answered a call at the foot of Chambers | street, for passengers injured in a collision between the Ridgewood, an ‘grle Railroad ferry, and the New Jersey. | The clanging of the ambulance bells brought a big crowd to the Des- | brosses street ferry-house, and added to the intense excitement. The four ambulance surgeons went among the women who had fainted and after re- ; storing them plastrd up cut hands and seratched cheeks. A number of persons refused the proffered attention of the surgeons because their injur- Hes were slight. Every one suffered more or less from shock. { The heavy fog settled over the river just as the New Jersey left her slip | on the other side, bound for New York. Fog bells were ringing all along the jriver front. The pilot of the New Jersey reduced her speed one-half and ‘kept his whistle tooting. He'could not see twenty feet away. A DOUBLE COLLISION. When off Chambers street the New Jersey was rammed by the Erie ferry-boat Ridgewood on the men’s cabin side. The two boats drifted apart |and swung around with the tide, the heavy ice floe forcing them together ‘again, jamming the bow of the New Jersey into the side of the Ridgewood, \tearing away part of the men’s cabin, Men aud women on both the crowded boats ran about in a panic. They trampled over each other in their endeavor to get life-preservers, Deck hands ran about the cabins calling upon the passengers to keep cool. Both vessels blew danger signals and tugs came hurrying out, The Ridgewood was towed to her slip at Chambers street, while the New Jersey continued on her way up the river tooting her whistle, Aboard the New Jersey the only injuries to passengers were a few (Continued on Seventh Page.)
