LOST IN THE BAY The Drowning of Many Women and Children. don toward searching the wreck. The boatmen at hand found the body ot Mrs. Braudell and those of two children floating over tho wreck. Whothor they might or not have boon resuscitated was not tested.

They were put at once on the little steamer and taken across to Canarsie with the survivors and placed on tables in King's Hotel. Nothing moro was done. The tide came up In the night and carried the capsized Bloop up against the Barren Island pier and kopt her pounding against it until morning. At tho very first streak of dawn, lust beforo 4 o'clock, the sloops Veto, II. E.

Homan and Kate Kavanagh, manned with forty bay mon, Including Captalp O'Brien, who ownod the Mystery and the Kavanagh; Captain Smith and Captain lloman, who dlrooted tho work; Captain Lawrence, Captain Denton, Coptoln Jacobs and Captain Freeland. They found that tho sloop's maBt had been carried away by tho crashing agaluat the dock. They cut It clear and, tangled In the rigging, found the body of tho little Lowonborg boy. The eloop waB on hor beam ends and was righted with difficulty. At last, after six hours' arduous labor, chains wero go undor hor and lashed to the Veto and tho Homan.

Then the Bteamor Edith Peck took the three in tow tho wator logged craft betweon. A look down, her dark hatchway showed a floor covered with bodies aud most of them wore thoso of little children. The hatch was stopped with an old overcoat, and Bay man Ed Mills sat upon the half sunken stern and stoerod tho Mystory iu. The Journey was long and todlous, the Peck pulling against the wind and the tide. A thousand poople watched from tho Canarslo dock, and when the flotilla came alongside thoy swarmed to tho pier edge.

Baymon and many women made up the throng. There were few peoplo on baud to Inquiro about the dead. Captain O'Brien, ownor of tho boat, whose whole family perished with her, sat on the cabin roof ot the Koto, haggard and worn. Up and down on tho deck kind hearted Landlord King led Charles Botor, of 452 Atlantic avenue, whose 12 year old daughter, a "little girl in a rod dress," ho said, had perished. Ho was InBane and deslrod to die.

Constant watch kept him from jumping Into tho bay. Tho boats wero made fust and the work of getting out the bodies was at once begun. Stout Honry Harvor wont down Into tho flooded cabin and groped amid tho dead. His hand foil flrst on tho body of a girl, Llzzio Ouornior, and as bayman boro hor out in his orms a moan went out from tho crowd. Somo women wept and a sorrowful scone began.

Quickly the baymon carried out flvo moro children, ono girl aud four boya, only one being theu Idontifled tho llttlo son of Captoln O'Brien. Four men followed oftor with tho mother of the lad. Thoro was a rush of confusion on tho sloops and a dozen mon surroundod O'Brion. Ho had tried to throw himsolf luto tho bay. His friends carried him away to his empty house.

An Infant another boy and Miss Bader woro carried out, aud then tho work came to a halt. Ten bodios wero tho total found In hor, makiug an aggregate of thirtoon with tho numbor found tho night before. Tho acos woro black and tho bodies rigid and distorted. The forward bulkhead was stove In and moro bodio3 wore thought to bo In tho bow. THE COKONEH'S JUBY.

Thoy viewed tho bodios found last evening and tho Coronor gavo permits for their removal. The same order will be followod regarding tho remainder. Then after a few days whon the witnesses can be colloctod tho formal Inquest will bo hold. SOME OP THE SCENES.

All during tho night a lino of twinkling lights Btretchod from tho lauding at Canarsio over tho dark waters of Jamaica Bay ovor toward Barren Island, marking tho course followod by boatmen hurrying to the scono of tho accident On tho beach sndnoss reignol supreme and tho throng of 2,000 people, nearly all ot whom remained until this morning, was hushed into whispors aud was soparalcd into groups, anxiously awaiting furthor news from those who had gono to tho place whore Mothers Who Perished With Their Babies in Their Arms To day's Shoeking Scenes at Canarsie The Gallantry of a Colored Hero Twenty seren LiTes Believed to Have Deon Sacrificed The List of the Survivors and the Bead So Far as Ascertained What it Cost to Carry a Fall Sail in a Lively Breeze. The Ghastly Joko of the Captain of the Mystery A Statement From the Owner of the Wrecked Yacht No Help From Barren Island A Woman Who Saved Another's Child and Lost Her Own. Fathers Insane With Grief Some Heartrending Spectacles at the Wharf. Last evening about 6 30, when the tide wns fuelling out and gray clouds alternated with bluo ky and the wind was lltful and treacherous, two Bloop yachts, bowled alone undor full sail from Bmlth'3 Grovo, on Rufflo Bar, steering westward toward the northoaat point of Barron Island. One of the boats was MW with mon, women and children all In gala dross and all ob merry and lively as thoy could bo.

They lncludod family partlos which had been spending the day at Rufflo Bar picnicking and were on tholr way back to tholr homes much tho hotter in health and spirits for their outing Bnd tho fresh air. Tho Mystory, of Canarslo, was carrying tho Woraon and children and two mon, while on tho Christina, of the same place, wore several male friends of the merry group on tho other boat. Nearly all the pleasure seekers woro Brooklyn Jtes. Both yachts mako regular trips between Canarslo and Ruffle Bar. Tho boats woro carrying about as many as they could hold packed together, but more was no thought of dangor as they skimmed along.

Tired babl03 had gone to Bloep in tho arms of smiling mothers; children Wore sitting watching tho big waves curllug by; youths wore laughing and singiug, and eagorly watching the progress they wore making, for the two yachts soemod to bo testing oach other's speed. The Mystery was leading a staunch boat usod iu tho Winter for codllshltig. At her helm was Cnp taln llinriche, of Canarsie, and hor crew consisted of Ills son aged 9 yoars and a man named Scheldt. Tho mon wore careful and experienced, and had weathered many heavy gales when thoy usod tho Mystery for codllshing in tho Wintor tlmo. The destination of both yachts was Canarslo, but to reach that point thoy had to tack, as tho wind was blowing wost nor1 wost, and tho tldo was running out strongly.

A llttlo whllo hoforo tho steamer Julia, of tlio Canarsie and Rockaway Boach Hue, had passed tho yachts, and Captain McEvoy, of tho Bteamor, had offered to take their linos and tow them to CanarBie, but tho pleasure seekers declined with thanks. They wanted tho sail and woro in no groat hurry. Tho Mystery was carrying two roofs In hor main sail and though she had hor ib drawing all it could hold tho Christina was gaining a llttlo. Shake out those roofs," shouted Captain Tlin rlchs. It won't do to lot tho mon beat us.

Wo will whlp tho Christina in to Canarsia If wo have a MHjjMfblown HBRBp women laughod and wavod their handker SBBis at their husbands and brothers as tho Mys tery nnswerod the additional pressure of Bail and flow faster, throwing up tho foam from hor bow. She led tho Christina by 200 feet when she reached tho end of hor larboard tack and the womou wero In high gloo over tho discomfiture of tho rival boat. When within a quarter of a mile of tho northeast point of Barron Island tho Mystery luffed and attempted to put about on tho starboard tacit. As Bho swung Into tho wind again a suddon squnll Btruok her, her centerboard caught on a shoal, tho tide threw its whols weight upon hor, and with a chorus of screams that could be hoard at a long distanco sho koeled over on hor starboard side. Before her crow could touch a lino tho thirty eight poople who had so lately been making merry wero In the water struggling for their lives.

A spoctitor Bays that horror scorned to freezo tho energies of those who manned tho compauion yacht, but tho mate of tho Christina claims that prompt and successful efforts to savo life woro made. Although so closo to tho shore, thoro was llttlo hope of rescue from tho laud. Capsizing with all sails BOt as the Mystory did, whllo putting about on tho starboard tack, tho great majority of thoso on board viero undor tho mass of cordage which lay Will There be a Compromise Hetwcea Hclleyand Tallntadffe Colonlol Gulyer, of tho Board of Education, says that Mr. Tunis G.

The nomination will bemannoro as a compliment to Mr. Bergen than from any hope on tho part of tho Republicans of electing tholr candidate, which will only bo possible In case of a split botwoon tho Democrats over their candidates, Messrs.

A report Is In circulation that in tho event of tho failuro of the Democrats to agrco on ono of theso two candidates, an arangement has been made by tho friends of Secretary Tallmadge to secure tho support of Mr. Kolloy's followers In return for a guaranty of reciprocal backing.

EPISCOPAL IRE. Was it the Cause of Father ElcCabe's Eemoval? The Iiiflnenco of Dr. McGIjnn's Rebellion Beginning: to be Felt on This Side of the East EiTer Father Ualleis Defend. Himself. The Rev.

Edward J. McOabe, for mnnj years flrst assistant rector of St. Vincent do Paul'i Churoh, on North Sixth stroet, was last wcok trans, ferred by Bishop Loughlin to St. Cecelia's Church, at Herbert and North Henry streets, whore he is as. Blatant to Rev.

Michael Malone. St. Cecelia's Is th church which tho late Rev. Floronco McCarthy, whu becamo so notorious iu connection with tho charges made against him by Miss Cronin and his servant girl, hnd cRarge of lor many years. Tho parish is by no means a desirable ono, while Si Vincent do Paul's Is regarded as the richest and boat one in tho diocoso; bo tho change was scarcely intended as a compliiuont to the clover edi tor nud propriotor of tho Catholic Youth.

It hai causod a gool of comment among Fathor McCabe's frion Sovoral reasons aro assigned by St. VIu cent de Paul's parishioners for tho bishop's action. It is agreed on all sidos that tho latter took olTenso at soma position assumed 01 words spoken or written by tho priost. Somo persons attribute what is termed the clergyman's set back to his well known sympathy with Rev. Dr.

McGIynn beforo his excommunication at least. Father McCaho and Father Sylvester Malono pastor of Sts. 1'otor and Paul's Church in Wythe avenue are on tho most friendly torms, aud they sharod pretty much like opinions in tho McQlynn case. Ihshop Loughlin, howevor, did not publicly expreis himsolf one way or tho othor In the contro versy hotweon tho ox communicated priost and his eccloslastical superior; so it is reasonod ho would not punish his subordinate on account of any sympathy ho might havo had for Dr. McGIynn, unless somo great pressure was brought to boar on him.

The aggresslvo position taken by tho autl povorty leader's frionds in the Eastern District may have promptod tho bishop to show his hand in a mild way so ns to warn young clorgymou that sympathy with tho excommunicated priest or his doctrlnea would uot be tolerated. Thoro Is another reason advanced for Fathor McCabe's transfer and ono which Grand Army men regard as tho corroct one. Boforo and after last Decoration day the priest causod his superior a good deal of anuoyaneo and unwittingly subjected him to unpleasant criticism by telling tho members of Mausflold Post that ho would deliver the oration for thom at tho Soldiers' and Sailors' In Calvary Cemetery the Sunday bofore liecuration day. Bishop Loughlin was appealed to for permission, but ho roferrod the commltteo to tlio Xow York Diocese, which controlled the comeleiy. Monsiguor Proston declined to accept the responsibility and relegated the committee to Bishop Loughlin.

The latlor was subjected to a good deal of unfavorable comment in Grand Army clrclos and the newspapers devoted considerable epaco to the case. The result was that Fathor McCabo did not speak at the cemotory and no exorcises wore conducted thoro, but Instead sorvlcos were hold In Grand Army Hall two Sundays which Fathor McCabo delivered tho oration and Iiabbl Wlutnor, ol tlio Temple Both Elohim, and Rev. Mason Gallagher mado addresses. It Is thought that tho revorond editor's action in placing his suporior in the unpleasant position ho did on Decocration day was tho real cause of his transfer. Fathor McCabe's friends expected that he would by this tlmo have beon given chnrgo of a parish Instead of bolng sent as assistant to St.

Cocolia's Church. During Dr. McGIynn's address at tho Now York Academy of Music last night, tho excommunicatod priost said somo bitter words In regard to a Brooklyn priest. He referred to him as "au old buffoon, who has a kind of a barn of a churcii." llo de scribod him furthor as a "cross between a Dane and au Amsterdam Dutchman," and snid that hli congregation "got not only his wordi but a circus every Sunday." Tho animus for all this abuse was oxiiHiuod lurLhcr ou In Dr. McGIjnn's remarks by tho that this "old follow'' said that the trouble Willi McGIynn was that ho wantod to tako a wlfo Thoro was another period ot epithet slinging before Dr.

McGIynn concluded his remarks about thi Brooklyn priost, in which ho said that Blshoj Loughlin "toloratoa this buffoonery Sunday aftor Sunday, and, If anything, oncouragos this scoun drol and blackguard." Tho priest reforrod to In such uncompllmentarj terms by tho formor pastor of St. Stephen's Church Is tho Rov. Nicholas Ballels, of the littlo Gormai chapol, known as St. Francis, at 212 Putnam ave nuo. Father Ballola la probably the oldest pries In Brooklyn In point of years, if not in Eorvico.

vigorous old framo is bent and his voice tromblei with ago. The agod Rov. Sylvester Malouo, oi Sta Totor and Paul's Church, who Is credltod with I largo amount of sympathy with Dr. McGIynn anc his theories, appears quite youthful in comparison with this venerable priest. Father Ballois usually celebrates morning mass In a quaint littlo chapol but this morning, in addition to tho foobleness ol ago, the agod priost was racked with rheumatism nud unable to porform tho Borvico.

While Dr. McGIynn was culling out peals of laughter by Imitating tho old Gorman priest's voico aud mannor, tho latter was suffering and sloeploss. Father Ballels was shown an account of Dr. McGIynn's words regarding him by au attendant, and later on ho said to a reportor: "What I havo said in rogard to Dr. McGIynn wns not said on my own aulhoiity.

I was not tho originator of any statement that he was to take a wife. I morely said thai I had soon it stated on tho authority of an eminent ecclesiastic for so It was statod lu tho nrtloie to which I roferrod In my conversation that thore was a woman at tho bottom of tho troublo In which tho priost had involved himself." Tho pastor added that ho had nothing to snj in reply to Dr. McGIynn's attacks on himself. H( thought such talk answerod ltsoll" iu tho mindi of Intelligent people. Tho only reason ho could assign why tho excommunicatod priost should have made such a violent attack on him was that ho wai ono of tho vory fow priests in Brooklyn who had come out against him.

"Tho reason why I haue allowod myself to ha quoted lu tho publlo pross on this quostlon," con. cludod Fathor Is that it is so generally undoi Btood that very many of tho Brooklyn priesUt aro supporters of Dr. McGIynn. Thero Is undoubt. odly a sympathy for him, and I wished it to bs known that I was not to bo Included among hla partisaus." Father McCabo said this afternoon that ho was trnnslorred to St.

Cecilia's Church throe wooks ago, but that ho was now back at St. Viuceut do Paul's. Ho oxpoctod, howovor, to bo sont to St. Cocilla'B permanently within a wook. Ho would not say anything about the causo ol tho removal.

The threatened tie up of the drivers and conductors of the Klatbush avonue line, because of tho placing of Thomas Callaghan, a driver, on the extra list, has ended la smoke. An old driver said to day In reference to the matter: "It has been claimed that the fact that Callaghan Is Master Workman of the local organization, whloh prlnciply consists of the employes of this road, was presented aa one ot the reasons why he should get his car baok, that is not the oase nor did the members ever intend to present that foot as a reason for reinstatement Neither Is It true that we wanted Callaghan baok on his old car because he Is president of the labor organization of Flatbuih." "How do you account for the rumors of the tie up?" asked the reportor. "Well," answered the driver, "there are flfty three straight runs and the drivers and conductors who have beon together for some time did not like to be parted and a number of drivers expressed themselves of bolng in favor of giving away for that reason and allowing Callaghan to take his car back rather than be advanced a peg, and loosing their old conductors." With that view a petition was circulated addressed to President Lewis, asking that Callaghan be given back his car. On Saturday, Mr. Lewis hearing that such a potltlon was in circulation, called Mr.

Callaghan Into the office and told him that under no circumstances could ho have his car back, hut If there was anything ho could do for htm he would only be too glad to do It, and further, that if he, Callaghan, was to get his car back ovory man that was Jumped would want his car baok. Mr. Callaghan then causod tho petition to be withdrawn. This morning Callaghan's name was placed on the extra list with no signs of a tie up or other 111 feeling on tho part of the men. Matthew Sherlns, a conductor of the FJatbush avonue line, who took considerable interest In Callaghan's case, was thrown from a Flatbush avenue car at tho city line on Saturday evening while endeavoring to obtain signatures to the Callaghan petition, and was severely injured about the head.

Why Klngw County IBas Not Secured Fair Recognition From tbo State A member of tho Board of Assessors said to day that there wore several reasons why Kings County had not been able to socuro proper recognition by the State authorities in the matter of the equalization of valuation. One Is that the local Assessors do not make personal property boar Its full share of assessment, and the other that the valuations in the four county towns here are altogether too small.

These towns pa; only about one twentieth of the county's share of tho county and State taxes, and the total valuation Is about $7,355, 000. The valuation of Flatbush has beon a trifle over $4,000,000 for nearly twonly years, remaining practically unchanged during that period. That the Town of Qravosend Is not properly assessed Is attested by tho fact that the valuation thore Is but $2,687,900. Tho remedy Ho3 In tho hands of the Board of Supervisors, and It Is tho duty of the city members of that body to unite In action whloh will bring the town valuations up to tho standard In the city. Tho town property is assessed at from 20 to 25 per cent of Its real value, while In Brooklyn the Assessors claim that they assoss for the full amount The towns should pay more.

Caswell, director of music of the Brooklyn publlo schools, Boys tho reduction recontly made by tho Board of Estimate In tho appropriation asked for school music will necessitate considerable "battering out" to mako tho money meet Increased noods. No provision has been made for Twenty sixth Ward schools or for now Bchools. Tho Board of Estimate, he thinks, would have acted more consistently had they abolished musio In the schools or reduced tho tlmo nt present devoted to Its teaching. While no cojiplnhit is mado by music teachers In rogani to tholr salaries, Brooklyn does not pay ovor half or twe thtrds as much for either teachers or tho director as Boston aud othor smaller cltteB, and lias not increased the pay in Ave years. When a music teacher is sick a substitute must bo provided at a cost of $1 an hour, deducted from tho salary which la a higher rate than tho teacher recelvos.

Notwithstanding the rapid Increase In tho number of schools, which the law directs must bo supplied with instruction in music, no lucreaso Is mado in the appropriation. STOPPED SUNDAY BALL PLAYING.

How the Eleetrleal Subway Commission is Bound Hand and Foot, While the Polos Remain Standing A Great Waste of Time. Mayor Whitney to day sent the following communication to the Common Council: Mayor's Office, Brooklyn, July 11, 1887.

To the Honorablt, the Common Counc; Gentlemen Doubtless you know certain statutes require that the olectrical wire and conductors maintained by tho various companies In this city shall bo placed underground. To this end a Board of Electrical Subway Commissioners has been created charged with the duty of devising a plan of underground conduits and vested with the authority to compel the said companies to place their wires therein, from tlmo to time, as such plan shall be put Into execution. I am a Arm bollevor that a constant effort should bo made to fulfill these laws In letter and In Bplrlt; that the various wires should bo put underground as speedily as possible, and that our city street! should be freed Irom the poles usod for aerial suspension. Necessarily the work of transferring many miles of wire from the air to the earth must be graduaL We can look for no Instant general change of system, but we have a right to expeot, as we have the right to compel, keen activity and constant progress toward tho fulfillment of these laws. In answer to my inquiry the Subway Commissioners report that their plan has been so far executed as to now admit tho burying of tho wires on Fulton street from Its lower end to Nostrand avenue, on a largo part of Myrtle avenue, on Washington streot and on other thorough faros.

Tho Commissioners are oonAdent that, if allowod full opportunity without let or hindrance, they can, In the present season, provide underground conduits throughout almost all of the thiok ly settled portions ot the city. Your Honorable Body has heretotoro adopted an ordinance forbidding the Commissioner of City Works to Issue any permits for opening the streets for the purposes of burying the wires or continuing the conduits, without eiprosB authority emanating from you. I nolther question your charter right to control the streetsAof tho city nor the propriety of any resolufbns which you may adopt luthe lino of this control, but I ask your Honorable Body to take aueh action as will permit tho enforcement of these laws. You havo under your supervision and control an executive officer, the Commissioner of the Department of City Works, who, subject to suoh control. Is already vested with the care, charge and supervision of tho public streets.

If you had not adopted the ordluanco in question that officer, under his charter powers, would have been clothed with full authority to grant the necessary permits, but, in the faca of your direct prohibition, he naturally will refuse to act If your Board were to continue Its usual sessions thoro might be no reason for this communication, but you are now on the eve of tho midsummer adjournment and unless some action be taken thlsordlnauce will stand In the direct path of the oxecutlon of the law, during the whole of that soason bBst adapted to the work and In which the most material progress can be made. 1 deem it ray duty a duty that Is in strong accord with my own wishes to ask you to take further action undor this spoclAc prohibition, so as to permit the Commissioner of City Works to grant from time to tlmo such permits as may be necossary to put tho conduits already completed in use and to Anlsn those not yot completed. 1 do not ask you to forego your perogatlves or to cast a now duty upon your executive officer, but I do ask you to relax your specific prohibition and thereby leave tho Com mission eras free to act ou this matterin connection with our streets as ho is on other matters touching our public thoroughfares. The continuauco of this ordinance unmodlAed moans Immunity to these various companies for months to como. A large part of the conduit is prepared, tho Commissioners are ready to enforce the law aud 1 shall insist that there shall be no unnecessary delay.

But If tho Commissioner stand commanded to Issue no pormlts for the streets to bo oponed, thou the companies have a cogent oxcuse at hand for not heeding the direction or the authorities, while tho Subway commissioners may even bo bouud hand and foot from au extension of their work. No hnrm can be done if your Board take tho action now urgod upon it, lor the work must bo done under the supervision ol your executive officer and in accordance with the plans of tho Subway Commission, thoso plans I am iuformed now admit tho burying of all wires save thoso of tho Electri" Lighting Companies; for these no prnctlcal conduit has as yet boon dovlscd. 1 have forwarded to your Honorable Body through tho hands of your president, the Honorable Theophllus Olona. a form of resolution which I trust vou will seo At to adopt, wheu he shall present It for your consideration. lam coa Adout that if thiB bo done, It will result In a speedy substantial compliance with the law, to tho rellof or a largo body of our citizens and with tho approval of the whole municipality.

If your Houorablo Body tako such action I shall ut once call upon the Subway Commissioners to compel all compiiulos to make use of tho subway already prepared, and to push forward tho work of completing tno conduit system to the eud. Respectfully, D. D. Whitney, Mayor. WAS KEVER DEAD LV HIS LIFE.

The Alleged Murderers of Jo hn Bfalone. Close of the Oyster Bay Inquest The Case Decided to be One for Investigation by the Grand Jnry.

Special to the Eagle. 0 T8TBR Bat, July II. The coroner's Jury upon the Malone case assembled at 7 o'clock this morning. Alice Bates tosfiQod that somewhere about 5 o'clock on the afternoon of the Fourth of July, she saw on the shore opposite Mr. Benjamin Swan's house a man apparently dead while threo or four men stood by him throwing mud upon the body.

Her flrst Impression was that they wore burying him. Afterward about 9 o'clock the same evening, she met four or Ave mon opposite tho Episcopal Church who were very much under the influence of liquor. Ono of these mon Inquired of wltnoBS the way to John Hasset's house. On starting, the Individual in question, who proved to be Malone, turned and said to the three or four men with him: "I will have you arrested In the morning." Mr. John Hasset testified that Malone did visit his houso about 0:30 o'clock on the evening of the fourth lnst, In a greatly excited condition and Intimated that he had had trouble with some one or more ot the men from the brick yard.

It Is believed that tho mon who were seen on tbo shore opposite Mr. Swan's residence on the afternoon of tho fourth Inst, are possibly tho same parties who are now under arrest, and this fact the prosecution Is attempting to establish. There Is by the prosecuting authorities to be little or no question that the difficulty which resulted, If the murder theory Is correct, In the aeath of Malone on tho 5th of July, had its boglnning at least a day previous to the 5th. It Is also bellevod that tho man Malone was tho same Individual whom Alice Bates saw on tho shore seemingly dead. The Jury this afternoon decided thut the case must go before the Grand Jury, aud the prisoners were taken to Long Island City and lodged iu jail.

The prisoners are Thomas Cosgrove, Andrew Harking, John Murphy, Ijhlllp McManus and Edward Cramor. THE JULY GRAND JURY. Impaneled This morning la tUe Court of Sessions.

He was removed to St Catharine's Hospital and dld from I loasof Wood shorUy after ht arrival then, tho ill fatod Mystory had gone down wun nor precious cargo of human souls. From tlmo to time a boatman wouia return ana ho would be Immediately surrounded by tho friends and agonized relatives of tno lost, wuo wouiu uo him for reassuring news. But of reassuring news thore was nouo, aud as boatman aftor boat on camo back with tho same story thoso on tho beach setllod down to the conviction that thoro was no hope for tho twenty flve porsons who had beon at nrst reported as having been drownod.

The bodies of thoso who had beon drowned and tha rescued irom tno watery ycuyua ncio groon lawn to tho cast of tho Bay View House, ponding tho arrival of tho coroner. Tho survivors, ten In number, woro suoltorod at tho Bay Viow House, byGeorgoW. King, tho proprietor, and woro fed and furnished with changes of raiment. Thoro woro comparatively fow porsons at Canar sio this morning, the news of the accident not seeming to have excitoJ gonoral attontlon throughout tho city. Tho trains took to the beach no more than their usual quotas of passengers.

The throng thai spent tho night at Canarsio wont back to town early this morning. Thero were many altoctlng scones ana inciaenis In connection with tho uisnstor. jars, wiumm Kring, who lives In Canarsie Village, was sitting on tho deck of the Mystery with her child, when tho sloop capsized. A baby, tho child of John J. O'Brien, was playing near her on the deck.

Mrs. Krlug grabbed hor child and tho O'Brien baby ana and sprang into tho bay. Just ooioro tue uuui capsized, and as she was careening, an tho children who had been playing on ti, ivr run Into the camn wnere muss oi tho womon woro gathered. Being an intrepid ami skillful swimmer, Mrs. King did not hesitate to en doavor to roach tho shore.

Finding this to be im possible In the rough wator, sho turned and made for tho upturuod sloop. In somoway ner own cnuu escaned from hor grasp and wns drowned. With truo maternal devotion sho clung to tho O'Brion child and it was savod with her. Tho llttlo thing was so much oxhaustod, howevor, that it dlod thl3 mnriuncr hortlv after bdlue taken to Canarslo Yil lago by Mrs. King.

Charles Boaior, of 452 Atlantic avonue, was ri.miiirn.1 tnmnorarllv Insane over tho 1033 of his little girl. 11 is other child, a boy, was savod. Mr. Boater bocamo violent and mado two desperate efforts to kill himsolf by umping from tho window ol tho Bay Viow Houso, and It was found necossary to nut him undor guard. He becamo more rational this mornitie, but wandered aimlessly aboat tho i.ntni irrnnn.ia and nlnne the beach crying and calling for his child.

Ho would not bo couUortod. Patrick Grimes of 13 Honry stroot, lost his who aud two children. His wlfo wantod him to go with her on the sloop, but ho decided to stay with his brother In lav, Mr. O'Brion, at his hotol ou the beach. Just before his family embarked on tho Mystery Mr.

Grimes kissed them all an nffeetion ato good byo. He was partly out of his mind wh on hn nnwa of tho accident was received. Ho cried liko a child and thanked God that ho had kissed his lovod ones good bye. He clung, among tho last, to the hope that many wero saved who had not been so reported. He said ho thought.

It possible his wife and the children might havo beon picked up bv somo boat. As timo woro on, however, and thoro wore no tidings of thom, he resigned himself to tho terrible Amone tho most disconsolate porsons ou tho beach this morning was Goorgo Braudel, of Bush wick avouuo and Barrett street. Ho sat in a shady corner of tho hotol piazza and big tears coured ceaselessly down his ruddy cheeks. Ho was in despair over tho loss of his mother, and he was surrounded by a group of his sympathizing follow countrymen, who tried In vain to comfort him. His mother had not Intended to go on the Mystory, but George's boat was too small to carry her, and so sho Joined tho fatal party of excursionists at the last moment Poor John Obornlor was almost frantic with grlo' and was as striking a spectacle of human mlsory as ould be imagined.

He mourned tho loss of his wife and threo chlldron, and his grief was so poignant that he was shut up in a room of O'Brlon's hotol for a little whllo. Obornler roproachod himself with bolng, In a moasuro, responsible for tho loss of his family, siuco it was only upon his urgent porsuaslon that Mrs. Obornler wont on tho Mystory. Sho said that Bho did not caro for tho Ball, but her husband thought thai it would do hor and tho children good. Mr.

O'Brion, tho propriotor of the hotol on the boach, who lost his wife and three children, was rendered insano for a time through grlof, and was taken to a room on the socond floor of his hotel, where he was cared for by his friends. Ho cried like a child and wrung his hands. Ho soomed uttorly unablo to roallzo tho full oxlont of tho misfortune that had so suddenly crushod down upon him. John Welha, of 736 Park avonue, was entirely ovorcomo by tho loss of his mother, slator aud niece. He walked up and down tho boach for hours, calling on his mothor to return, and although two of his companions woro constantly at his sldo en deavoring to comfort him, ho did not pay any at tention to thom, but kopt moaning aud wringing his hands.

Goorgo Wagnor, of 18 Graham avouuo, was among tho few of the party from Williamsburgh on tho boach who had cause for thanks that tholr loved onoB oscapod being on tho Mystery. His mother had made arrangomonts to Ball with tho rost on that sloop, but hor son induced hor, Anally, not to go, and he took her on auothor boat. Nicholas Scheldt, of DoKalb avouuo, who was on tho Mystery in tho placo or Goorgo Wagner, hor regular mato, had no rolatlvos on tho boat. Scholelt Jumped Into tho water when tho sloop capsized and swam around until he could got at tho top of tho mast, which was sticking up out of tho wator. To this ho clung until roscuod by Daniel Robinson, a colore 1 man, who put off to the scene of tho accident from Barren Island, and who saved seven lives In a heroic manner.

Scheldt said to an Eagle reporter: "I can't tell you ust how the sloop camo to capsize. Wo had Just mado a tack Whon tho wind struck us all of a suddon, and bofore I know what hnd happoaod tho sloop was overturned. It was all done In a twinkling. I took off my shoos and Jumpod in one of tho small boats, but it was so full of people it sank, and I swam to the masthead of the Mystory aud stuck thoro. I was not anticipating danger whon tho boat capsized." Captain lllnrlchs, of tho Mystory, who was drownod with his son, wns a splendid swimmer, and his frionds do not know how to account for his bolng drownod.

It was said that ho was pulled from tho capsized boat by somo drowning person. Scheldt says that, Just boforo tho captain wont down, ho asked Scheldt for a knlfo. From this Btatomont it would appear that the captain was entangled In the rigging In somo way and that ho wantod a knlfo with which to cut hi? way out. TWO GME1' STRICKEN FAMILIES. Mrs.

Llzzio of 506 Grand stroot, who lost hor three chlldron am', barely escaped with hor own llfo, was In a torrlblo state of excitement this morning at Cannrslo. Sho kept crying out la tho wildest despair: "Savemol Savo me, mama. My poor baby! Oh, that tho boat wculd como and I could ceo the faoos of my children once moro." Ilor husband and several friends tried to console hor but It was useless as the poor woman was crazod with crlof and her long flowing black hair, which was hanging loose to day, made hor ap. poar moro wretched. Her husband, Louis Lowborg said to an Eaolb reporter that he, his wlfo and three chlldron, named Dibble, Henry ana Philip, aged 12, 9 and 1 years respectively, left their home at 0 A.

M. yostorday bound lor uanarsie, where they wero to moot a fellow workman from on" top of tho waves. Others wero under the boat lteelf and many In the cabin, and oven tho stoutest BWimmors had little chanco to escapo tho death grip of tho panic stricken crowd who could not swim. There was a horo at hand, however, a colored man, named Dauiol Robinson, who took in tho situation. Tho surf was rolling high and tho tldo waB strong, but ho spent no timo In thinking about Ihoso things.

He launched a small boat, Jumped Into it and put his whole soul into his arms ho rowed to tho spot (chore tho Mystery lay on her side. Tho scene was a torrible ono. Mothers mado frantic efforts to got their Utile ones to whore thoy could hold on to a rope or spar to savo themselves. The disaster was witnessod from tho tug G. C.

eaue, which plies between Cauarsio and Barron Island. 3'lie Deano wn9 thou ovor two milos away and Captain Rhodo gavo orders to put on all steam and head for tho wreck. One after another of the dinging mothors and children Was swept away. It was fully twenty tnlnut03 hoforo tho Doano could reach tho sceno of tho disaster. Meanwhile Dauiol Robinson waa working nobly.

Ho had picked up fl'Je women and two children and his boat was full. Tho Donne took her load on board and then drew near tho mystery which was nearly submerged. Two little girls uucouscious but who afterward revived, wero pickoJ up and a woman who also came to Ilia again was taken from tho water. As the boat nearod tho wreck It approached another woman who was holding a baby In ono arm and trying to buoy up another child, 1 years old. A man aboard the Denne, who afterward proved to bo John Bwitzor, of 590 Broadway, suddenly exclaimed: "My God, that is my wifo." Tho next moment he had dived into the water and was swimming to her aid.

Tho woman had already lost her girp ou the older child when he reached hor and hold his Wife and baby above wator until they woro picked up by tho Doano. Tho oldest child sank boforo hoir eyes. Tho next groppel was a woman of middle ago, who was so exhausted that sho died a few momenta after being taken on board. Two othor chlldron who wero takon out of the wator also dlod Boon after being roscuod. Aftor cruising about for half an hour In Yankee Channel, as tho spot whore tho tragedy occurred Is named, tho Deano put on all steam and headed for Canarsie dock.

Five thousand peoplo wero on and Bbout tho landing. Bands woro plnylng and tho crowd was morry. As tho Doano touched tho dock a man jumpod nshorefrom hor and shouted: "'For God's sako stop tho bands tho Mystery has gone down and drowned twonty people." Thla Bhout was hoard by hundreds, many of whom wore Cuuarsio people who know that they had friends or relatives on tho Mystory. A hush fell over the crowd which deepened as tho cry "There aro dead aboard tho Doano" passed along. All was excltemont and tho sceno ono never to bo forgotten.
