Wires Down as Florida Cyclone Meets Western Storm
A hurricane sweeping the Florida coast joined a northwest cyclone over Ohio and Pennsylvania. Telecommunication across the eastern states largely failed as wires and telegraph lines were cut or slowed. Washington to New York and Pittsburgh to New York routes were down or nearly useless, with limited relays attempting to sustain news transmission. A Baltimore entry notes severe winds and flooding, while Washington Justice Brown suffered a fatal injury from a window during the storm.
