THE XORMAXDIE CRrITES INTO THE CH AJtLOTTE WEBB. A Sad Plettiro of Sa Life in a Henry Fok the Frenchman Itnns Down a Little Pilot The Remone of a Part of the Crew. Sad Scene. New York, Mav 20. The fog which made navigation difficult and dangerous for three days, and which delayed many vessels entering or passing ont of the Pfrt, leaves behind it a record which includes three serious collisions one of them involving the loss of two lives.

Saddtut of all the accidents is that which' befell' the pilot boat Charlotte Webb, Not which now lies at the bottom of the ocean. The Webb showed her staunchineM and the brarervof her pilots and crew several weeks airo in the fearful hurricane oft Ilatteras which proved fatal to the steamship Conservative. It was she which picked np and brought to this port one of the ill fated craft's life boats. She left her anchorage at Clifttnn, S. at noon.

Saturday, with four pilots, a steward and a crew of five men. The pilots had in vited Mr. Cireen, of Brooklyn, a friend of Captain Malcom, to join them on their cruise. Even at tlmt time the fog was very dense, but the pilots could, get about the channels with their eyes shut, so the niiet did not deter them from K'nS straight for tliA fM.Ain In c.u Co ti inwarilJintinil tanin. ships.

When The Webb put to sea she parsed the log bound ncct ot liners which had huddled together about the barand near quarantine, waiting for the rise. The pilot boat rather drifted tliun sailed, for much motion vita dangerous for anything afloatin such a fog. Ly night fall the Charlotte Webb was sailing about near the Sandy Hook fftrlit ship, out as there were no indications that any vessel would get through the fog Captain Malcolm decided that he wool sail to the eastward and try to get out of the bank. Hail was clapped on and the stout little boat went forward with a will. At 8:30 o'clock thepilots had their upper anl were feeling rather comfertabje save for the still heavy fog.

After 11 o'clock the bout was about eight miles' to the eastward of the light bhip, laying to because it seemed almost impossible to get Lout of the fog. She had all her ugnis Durning ana at intervals tne wjitch used to nasli lights' as signals. Hie sound of a big steamer's engiues was heard at brief intervals, but it seemed to be some distance to the eastward, and the bout was headed in that direction. The throbbing came very much nearer, however, and the ebb crew had not only used their lights but also their foghorn to' wurn off the ap proaching vessclr It was impossible to the last moment to tell how near er in what direction this ship was coming. At 11:40, according to John Anderson's statement, Captain Malcolm was on deck with; Charles Fitzgerald, the boat keeper, and three of the seamen.

Like some huge mountain a lorm appeared through the mist on the Webb's starboard side and though a great cry of warning went up from the pilot boat, the prow of the incoming steamship never swerved. The splash of the water as it was thrown Irom the bow of the big could be heard distinctly, as though xhe was going at full speed. In a minute the crush came. The iron prow of the French Steamer 'omiandie struck the Webb about seven feet forward of the fore rigging und ground through her like an adz into a plank'. Captain Malcolm, it is said by bis friends, was standing near the place of collision, and he Was hurled tiy the force of the impact over the low bulwarks into the sea.

In the excitement of the moment no thought was given to save him. The boat was bobbing ominously forward, pitching her stricken bow under the water. The men who had been below decks scrambled up and tried to climb aloft, all while calling for help. The Korniandie was not checked immediately, though her engines were reversed and boats were lowered. Before the rescuers got to the spot where the collision occurred, within three minutes after it had taken place, the Webb was sunk and the men were striv ing to keep themselves afloat by means of the wreckage.

hen the men were. taken out of the water some little time after the boat had sunk, it was found that Charles ltzgerald, the boat keeper, was missing as well as Captain Malcolm. Both were drowned. These were sum ivers: Pilots James Hemes, Robert Haninier, Alexander Scott; Steward, Ansel I Freeman; seamen, Dagbert Olsen, Samuel Larsen, John Anderson and E. D.

Bradley. Captain Malcolm's guest. Mr. Green, was also saved. The Normandie was not injured a particle not even showing a dent in her plates.

According to the rescued sailors were no sooner taken on board the Frenchman than her Captain and chief officer approached tbem, and instead of giving them every assistance in their power, began swearing at them "because $hey had been in the wav." They kept up" this billingsgate until several of the passengers on the steamer interfered, and suggested that the men should be treated more like human beings. "They ought to be glad they are alive," trie French Captain is said to have remarked. It was some time after this that they were taken below and given facilities for drvintr their 'clothine. The wrecked men say the fault of the collision is entirely with' the Normandie, and a suit will te begun lor damages. STJXDAY TEACHERS GRADUATE.

He. was preparins to leave the island for Belize, and had sold his property, receiving; for it in gold. Shortly before his intended departure a neighbor called to bid him farewell. Ilje knocked at the door, and, receiving no artf swer, entered tbe house, the door being unlocked. Finding no one.

in the hull ar parlor, he called. Again there was no re. sponse. Alarmed, he searched the house, and upon opening; the bed room door a sickening spectacle, met his eves. Mr.

Iloblis, his wife and child were dead, with theirj skulls smashed in. Their heads were nearly severed and their bodies covered with wounds. They had evidently been murdered in their sleep, and the wouuds were inflicted with a machette. The bodies were cold, and blood ran in pools oiv the floor. The niurde r.

nitist have been committed two duys before. The money had disappeared, and the object, therefore, was rubJcry. A ship wrecked sailor, a Jamaican named BurrclL who had been taken in out orf charity and cared for by the family, also disappeared about the same time, and was. arrested just as he was about leaving the inland on a fishing smack, three days after the discovery of the murder, lie obstinately Uecmred his innocence, but a portion 'of the missing coin was found upon his person, and he has been fully committed for trial.

Twenty fbnr Cadet Dropped Friim too CI am Bmmm of Xo Vacant lee AnmRit For Tonager Offlo oer to Sail the Mt Be, 10. The Times Wuh tegton special As dropping from tb Mvy, because of vacancies, of twenty four naval cadets from the class just relumed from its two years' cruise for examination for promotion is looked upon by naval officers 'as a result of that condition of affairs now affecting the whole personnel of the service.

Although the reduction in the different grades of 'the Navy has been somplished in all out the pay corps, the promotion is still Terr slow, and the prospects beld ont to an Ensign or Lieutenant Just entering the grade are not brilliant. The Secretary of the Navy perceives what Is needed in this direction, for he is reported as saying the personnel of the nary requires the most careful organisation, and that means should be adopted to infuse new life. into it. As regards promotion the service is at a standstill. I Many officers who are Ensigns should be Lieutenants, Lieutenants should be Lieutenant Commanders, the Utter should be Commanders, and Commanders, Captains.

"A Captain," said the Secretary of the Navy, "should be able to reach the grade of Bear Admiral by the time be attains the age of. fifty two years, so that the Government eould obtain some service from him in that grade. Under present circumstances it often happens that an officer goes upon the retired list as soon as he is promoted to the trade of Rear Admiral having attained the age of sixty two years. Xb officer should be over forty years of. age when commissioned a Captain, or fifty five when promoted to be Commander.

The officer In the lower grades should be young men in robust health, active and energetic to enable them fo perform the varietl duties of their profession, and should not be allowed to remain too long without promotion. The men who commanded our ships and squadrons In the war of 1812 were of ages between twenty and thirty eight years and the results of our naval operations during that war are a fair argument in favor of young men for such potations. I will not pretend to say just how such a desired end can be attained, but the necessity for some notion in this direction is moreap parent every year. Some offices will have to be made for the general good of the service, but the navy can not continue and be thoroughly efficient under the present the new styleof fighting demands that every department of a ship shall be 'managed "by men of vigor and ability. law nrovidintr that commissioned Offi cers of the navy with 'good records be I aiiuwcu iv rtura lruin ecuve uuij aiier thirty years' service with promotion to then next higher grade would aflord a great relief, and help bring about a more rapid promotion, so that in the coarse of a few years might expect to see a more hopeful feeling among the younger officers.

The ones have the goal o( their ambition or may hope ultimately to reach it, but to the younger ones at the present time the 4 prospect is not cheering, some or the more aspiring arc seeking in private employment the advancement they fail to receive in the navy."

Thty employed (Jchiltrcc to defend tbem ore tbe United States authorities, and gave him a note for 100 as Dayment.

The de.eodants. Darticularly Howery, are well to do. and the note Is therefore good. But the defendants' friends were not satisfied with the: arrangement. They prevailed on Howery to employ Judge llord and Htanton J.

Peelle, and to day Howery was endeavoring: to ret au note back from ucnu trae. The latter was not disposed to give it UD. The matter becomes public bv reason of ucniiiree petition lnis morning to be permitted to practice before the Federal District Court. It anoears that he is not an attorney at that bar, and unless the special permit were framed ne could not represent nis clients, irom wnom ne naa already taken nay. 1 tie court was disinclined to bestow toe tavor.

for reasons. When a Federal officer went to Kusbville to make the arrest of Howery and Y'oung, Ochiltree made him the unwillinir witness of an injudicious criticism of Judae Woods.

Ochiltree declined to or deny the statements In this dilemma and a spirited scene ensued. The inlerence is that if Ochiltree radioes before Judge Woods he, win no so alter passing tne usual ezamma' tion. Late this afternoon Mr. Ochiltree did the fair thins bv ivina uv the one hundred dot lar note. Howery and Young gave $1,000 bond ana were released.
