The vessel belonged to Pendelton Brothers of No. 180 Poarl Street, New York. A roaring northeast gale came down upon the @chooner late last night when ehe was well to the eastward of Fire Island Light. All Bands were busy shortening wail and she ran be- ,|fore the blast wnder reefed foresail and migsen. Her big deck load made her hard to handie, but for a while she was comfortable. Something went wrong with the Plaster rock just before daybreak, and ag the schooner dived down the janting seas the cargo shifted ‘With every new heave of the vessel the loose rock slid further and further forward and the Chase began to settle by the head. She sank so deep forward that a heavy Dlast at 7 o'clock ripped the foremast out of her, Quick work with the axes cut away tho stays and the loose mast went drifting to leeward. Capt, Tuttle found that the wrench the acas. had etarted her seams and that sho wae aleak én several places.

Tuttle threw the echooner’s head up into the gale. Just before abe took the plunge he And Barry cut the falls and the yawl dropped into the sea, All hands jumped into it, followed by Ike, the ship's dog, about whose body one of the men had fast- ened a cork fife-belt. Exhausted as the men were by their @l-night fight with the gale, they still had etrength left to row, and they mede for the channel to pase in be- hind the point of Sandy Hook.

Overwhelmed by the high, gal driven sea which raced through Kill von Kul), the tug Elsie K. of the Kennedy Towing Company, No. 32 South Street, Manhattan, swamped off Constable Hook, New Jersey. Her captain, Albert Morrie, fifty years old, of Greenpoint, died later at the Crabtree Dock, West New Brighton, Staten Island. He was hurled into the sea when his tug foundered, but a deckhand on‘ a Standard Oil steamer dove for him and caught him as he was being swept away. The Elsie K., with a barge in tow, was on her way to Hlisabethport. She had managed to fight her way into the Kill von Kull when persons ashore, who had been watching her perilous progress against the high bead seas, saw that sbe was in grave bs ap ikipper of the steamship Ta- mele, loading case oil at Bayonne, was among the first to see bh 4 sent word to the captain of 81 Ol Steamer No, ter started out to the rescue the w Ue of the Elste K. began its shrieks Street. ‘There was a sight delay, but no tleup. Charles J. Gregory, an ea- «ineer of the Department of Sewers, sald he was surprised that the sub- way escaped #o easily. He added: “In fact, T am surprised that the city escaped #o easily. New York has an antiquated sewer system. That part of the city which is above grownd is chad years ahead of that below Our sewer syatem needs a) | eeeenss overhauling.” The storm struck New York yee- | terday afternoon, It was the easterly This gale piled up great volumes of | water into the bays and the Bast and | North Rivers as the tides came in| early this morning. | The water began flooding sewers. ‘Then came the Goods in cellars and) streeta, The lower east side of Man- hattan got the worst of this flood. At No. 64 Grand Street the collar of) Henry Schult's cafe became flooded. | Then the water began pouring into! the saloon. When two inches of it/ ere on the floor Schult closed the! place and nailed boards against the | lower part of the doors. Outside the street was filled with water and the Grand Street line was, completely blocked. Surface cars rua- ning on West Broadway also were! tied up by the flood. One of the cara which became stalied at Grand Street was filled with passengers. Boys yd hold of an old lounge, carried it te the street, ran @ plank across it to the car and charged the passengers 5 conte to “walk the plank” to ¢ place | of comparative dryness. The asphalt walk between the County Court House and the City Court Building was strewa with wrecked umbrellas. Crowds trom Brooklyn Bridge and the subway eta- on were caught fn the gale in this space as they rounded the corner of the City Court Bullding. By 9 o'clock there were so many broken umbrellas on the pavement that the foreman of 4. | the City Hall Park laborers detailed @ gang to clear away the wreckage, for help. The ocean-going tug Oscar Murray of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad also made for the was that Capt. the water. Robert Coons, the eng\- neer, just a moment before had cu adrift the hawser made fast to the barge, and as he struck the blow he was hurled overboard. ‘When all of the crew were flounde Ing in the water the two tugs pick them up. John beg dr., the tre- man, and Coons and the captain were feacued by the Standard Oll tag, and Anker Nielsen, the cook, was picked up by the railroad tug. Eli Heckman, tain of the coal pares J. J. Humphries, lying at Crab- , made a statement t ternoon to Coroner Vail that he had megaphoned tee pape of the Elsie K. to a New Yi low Haven and Hartford tug, but that the latter had fafled to go to the rescue. —— STREET CARS BLOCKED AS CROWDS FOUGHT THEIR WAY TO WORK All surface car lines in Manhattan, except those on Washington Heights, the highest part of the Island, were tled up by the great do ur, In the neighborhood of Grand Street and West Broadway, the lowest section of the city, cellars were flooded with water, which then surged up to the first floors of the buildings. Crowds of east side workers, most of them girls, were blocked by the @torm at Grand Street and West Broadway. They were “ferried” cross the streets for five cents a head by stevedores and truckmen, who finally got into a general fight over having a monopoly of the busi- ness thus built up from the misery of others. During all of that time the wind, which was from the east, blew at the rate of sixty miles an hour, Down around Coney Island and Sandy Hook it reached a velocity of sixty-five miles an hour. In this terrific gale electric light wires, trees and signs were blows down. The “itve" wires added to the Peril in the streets. At Stilwell Ave- nue near West Twenty-fitth Street, Brooklyn, a horse driven by Louis Fascher of No. 2273 West Wighth Street, Coney Island, stepped on a live wire and was killed. One girl who was injured in the storm is dying, She i9 Margaret Beale, nineteen, of No. 234 Tillary Street, Brooklyn. While she was walk- ing in front ef No, 602 Myrtle Avenue she was struck on the head by a piece of fence which had been blown from @ tenement roof and her skull wag frac- tured. She was taken to the Cumber- land Street Hospital, Emma Gunlar, twenty-four, of No, 2687 Decatur Avenue, the Bronx, was crosaing Twenty-third Street at Lex- ington Avenue, holding an umbrella in front of her. She did not see an approaching taxicab, was struck by it and bruised. George Skulovoak, No, 407 Hast Fifteenth Street, was holding an um- breila in front of him at First Avenue And Twepty-second Street when he was knocked down by an auto truck {and his right leg broken, He was sent to Bellevue Hospital, The police | reported that many other persons had | been similarly injured by automobiles or street cara. SUBWAY NOT AFFECTED BY RAINFALL. One particularly freaky feature of the storm was that while surfade cars put out of business, the subway |ayetems did not suffer. Three inches |of water got into the subway at One Hundred and Sixteenth Street and) ‘Lenox Avenue, It was pumped out, and traing were not delayed. Water also flowed over the tracks at Times Square and Fifty-fourth While the storm was at its height two trees in City Hall Park were blown down.

This ie a complete victory for the union. All disputed points ae to wages were settled some time ago, and the only remaining matter of dispute had to do with discharged employees. Under the agreement signed by the manufacturers all discharged mem- bers of the union shall have their cages reviewed by a committees made up of one man from the union, ome representing the employer and a third and disinterested party. On this point the union members refused flatly to listen to any com- promise, and, ratber than face the etrike which was set for this afte noon, the manufacturers, at a meet- ing in the Bar Association Bullding, No, 42 West Forty-fourth Street, de- cided to meet the union terms.

Flooded atreets, submerged raliway | in tracks, with a consequent cessation of traffic, uprooted trees, wrecked bath houses and candy stands and Numerous emall craft adrift from their moorings was the price that Coney Island paid to the roaring wind and rain etorm of to-day. ‘The great downpour of rain eo taxed the sewers that they overflowed, and when the community stirred itself in small hope of doing business during the day on Surf Avenue, the main thoroughfare lay under two feet of water from Ocean Parkway to the breed depot, It was impossible for mmployees of the Municipal Baths s get to work unti! life guards, under the direction of Supt. Joseph Sack- man, got out their boats and ferried them across the avenue. At Sheepshead Bay the Ocean Ave- nue trolley line was put out af com- mission on account of the number of big trees which had been blown down acrosa the ratle near the race track. SMALL CRAFT BLOWN QUT TO SEA. At the Brighton Bathe, a fourteen foot motor boat, the Lillie K. was found broken on the beach. Whether any lives were lost ip her is not known at thia time, but the police believe that she came from either Sheepshead Bay or Gravesend Bay | Pri: as there were reports of many smal) craft having been torn from their moorings there and blown out to sea. ‘The storm brought up one body to- day and it ls expected that othere will come ashore whem the high tide comes late this afternoon.

Axel Jacobsen of Betmar, N. , skipper of a Gehing smack, lost hia ite ia the With a crew of six men he went out fm a brisk breeze be- fore the een began to rise, The gale increased to sixty miles an hour, and Jacobsen started for shore. Soon t! engine died, Jacebsen let go the anchor to keep the vessel from bel: swamped as she rolled in the trou; of the sea. The anchor fetohed @ eand bar off Seaside Park and the smack began to pound to pieces. Almost instantly the smack cap. sized, throwing all hands overboard. It is aupposed that the boom hit Capt.

ROME, Aug. 4.—In the most furious battle of the lower Isonzo campaign an Austrian regiment was entrapped and out to pieces by Italian bersa- gliert on the Carso plateau Monday bight. The enemy fought valiantly when they found their retreat out off, and but few surrendered.

Eighteen a week looked better to her than her wages as a domestic, so she wrote to Roehm, telling him that the “tabloid” musical show she was with was about to close and asking if there ‘wag room in his company for her and another girl. Mr, Roehm wired her that there was. ‘The other girl backed out, but Miss Rohl showed up last Saturday and in five minutes made it apparent that the requirements of a burlesque chorus girl were as foreign to her as the habits of the natives on the Congo.
