DEATH CAME SUDDENLY. CHRISTIAN WORKERS ALL SWEPT STORMS, The Hurricane from West India Devastates the Atlantic Coast. After a Week of Bard Work They En joyed the Day of Rest. THREE DROWNED. Three of a Crew Lost Off Cape Eenlopen Yesterday Morning.

Lewes, October 11. The schooner Mather A. Roby, from Schiverie, N. consigned to Philadelphia with plaster, came ashore at daybreak this morning in a heavy northeast gale below the point of Cape Henlopen, and almost immediately went to pieces. Three of the crew were lost and five saved.

Since yesterday a fierce northeast gale has been blowing along the coast. The life-saving crews have been on the alert, and last night patrolled the beach on the lookout for vessels in distress. In the early dawn the schooner was seen driving towards the beach. The life savers hastened towards the spot she was heading for, but she struck before they came opposite to her. Before the crew could get their apparatus into working order the vessel was pounded to pieces in the heavy surf.

The men aboard of her clung to whatever piece of wreckage they could grasp, and struggled through the whirling waters to the beach. Three of them never reached the other five, bruised and battered by the waves, were drawn ashore by the life savers. The wind blew a gale all day and every vessel in the harbor sought refuge behind the breakwater. Not a pilot boat ventured to sea. The bark Alice, which was anchored a mile west of the breakwater, began to drag her anchor to-day, but two tugs went to her assistance and towed her to a safe anchorage in the harbor.

The wind ia blowing a fearful gale from the northeast to-night and the tide is piling upon the shore. It ia feared that at high water to-night the life-saving stations on the shore may be swept away. A Point of Law Raised. PiTTsiiURG, October 11. E.

Ine porte continues its policy of exterminating the Armenians and devastating the country occupied by them.

The Local Aggregation Wins Oat by a Small Soore.

Additional foot ball news will he found on the sixin page ot this issue. tkibcnk.j The game between the First Altoona team and the Bellwood eleven proved to be a harder one then was anticipated by the locals. Despite their best efforts they could not make the score more than 10-0 a great deal lees than they had counted upon. A large number of "rooters" accompanied the expedition to the neighboring borough. Indeed Altoona people, if anything, predominated in the crowd that saw the game.

Bellwood kicked off and then the trouble began. The locals quickly found the best gains could be made through the opposing line. It was nip and tuck during the first half, which finally closed with but 4 points to the Altoona end, Hall having made a touchdown, Crozier missing a difficult goal. In the second half Dively, Altoona's young half back, made several brilliant games around the ends, and by a little fast work a second touch down was made by Hall, who afterward kicked goal, making the score 10-0. This ended the day's scoring, the half closing with the ball far in Bellwood territory.

Altoona showed itself weak in interference and signals. The line held good, though there were some changes in its personnel. Had the team played a faster and more snappy game, the score could easily have been doubled, since it has always been the case that Altoona Jilays best when it plays fast. Weakness in signalling was the cause. The line up: Altoona.

MUCH DAMAGE IS REPORTED At Atlantio City and Cape May the Wind Is Still Blowing a Gale Piers Washed Away and Other Destruction Done. THERE WAS SOME LOSS OF LIFE Atlantic City, N. October 11.

The northeast storm that has been traveling along the Atlantic coast struck this city this morning, and, in connection with an extraordinarily high tide, has done considerable damage. Two of the piers along the ocean front have sustained the greatest damage so far. About 200 feet of the iron pier at the foot of Massachusetts avenue have been battered away. A section of the wrecked schooner Met-calf, which was lying near the pier, was broken away by the for an hour or so it pounded with terrific force against the piling of the pier. The piling withstood the battering at first, but at last the middle section went down with a crash.

The mass of wood from the wreck is still floating along the beach front, and more damage may be done by it. The centre of the pier at the foot of Texas avenue has partiallv given away. it is expected that the weakened part will go out before morning. The bulkhead at Chelsea has- been destroyed. Railroad travel on the Camden and Atlantic railroad has been suspended, ow ing to the high water on- the meadows submerging the tracks.

The entire force of the life saving crew are out to-night on the beach watchiDg for any ship in distress. The cottages on the meadow side of the city have been surrounded by waer all day and the occupants have been compelled to use boats to get to and from iheir homes. The wind reached a velocity of fifty-five miles an hour today. Mi.uy railroad ties are floating on the beach io-night and it is believed that they indicate the washing away of the trolley railroad bed on Brigantine beach. The Wind Bl wing Great Guns.

Sea Isle City, N. October 11. The gale has raged with great fury here today, and to night the wind is blowing fifty miles an hour. The'ireadows id the rear of the city are flooded for miles and as far as the eye can reach there is only a foaming sea. The avenues apd streets are inundated by the heavy breakers that are washing in at the upper edd of the city.

Railroad travel is almost tireiy at a standstill and it will require some time and labor to repair the damage done to the washed out tracks. This morning a big three masted schooner, apparently disabled and riding under bare poles, was Jseen through the mist a short distance at sea. A ship's yawl boat, bottom up, was seen at sea this afternoon, which leads to the fear that some vessel has foundered. Many small yachts have been badly damaged. Ocean City is isolated, the railroad leading into the town having been badly washed out.

The storm appears to be blowing more furiously to-night and fears are entertained of the damage that to-morrow's high tide will bring. A Eoroio Rescue. Gloucester, October 11. Schooner Alsatin, sixty-nine tons, and from bath, lumber laden for Boston, capsized off Baker island this afternoon and is a total loss. When the vessel capsized the crew of four went overboard.

They succeeded in grabbing wreckage that came from the deck load. Captain George Young.of the steamer Helen May Butler, immediately started to their assistance. Upon overtaking the wrecked sailors, Captain Young and Steward C.E. Anderson manned a boat and put off to save the nearly exhausted men. With great difficulty, just as the victims were sinking, they were hauled into the boat.

Swo of the ship wrecked men were un-mscious, but soon recovered. Owing to the heavy storm that was raging the rescue was an heroic one. Captain Young and his steward nearly sacrificed their lives, as the boat filled three times before the ship wrecked men were got on board the steamer. The Storm Elsewhere. Cape May, N.

October 11. A northeast gale, which has prevailed here since yesterday, is still blowing with unabated violence. The tides over the meadows are submerging the railroad tracks. Much damage is occurring to beach improvements at bouth Cape May and the tide is threatening the trolley railroad. The indications are for a bad night and fuller tides.

Potion in Arkansas. Little Rock. October 11. The democratic and populist state committees met here yesterday and effected a fusion on the electoral ticket. Tbe fusion proposition came from Mr.

Bryan himself, who wrote Senator Jones, chairman of the democratic national committee, to use bis influence in bringing about a consolidation of tbe silver forces in Arkansas, i certificates of candidates for tbe state house of representatives should be filed with the county commissioners instead of the secretary of the commonwealth, the former provisions of the act of 1891 having been repealed by the act of 1893. If Mr. Brennen ia correct it is claimed that every nomination made for the legislature this year by both parties is invalid and as it ia too late to file certifi cates with the county commissioners. nomination papers would have to be re sorted to. A nice point of law ia in volved in the question and it is Btated that Mr.

Brennen will file a bill in court which will necessitate a decision. It is also stated that Mr. Brennen is so sure of his premises that he haa caused nominatian papers to be circulated in his own district and will on or before Tuesday next present such papers to the county commissioners for filing, and, in case they refuse to do so, will bring the matter before the courts on a writ of mandamus.
