FLOOD At ROCKANAY BEACH.
Effects Of One Of the SeVereSt Storms
in It's History.
rsPrc1AL TO THE EvENrNo woRLn. l


RoCKAwAY BEACH, L. l., July 31.-The
morning broke on scene OF wreck and dam
age such as has not been seen here before for
many years. The storm OF last night was one
OF the severest on record. The wind blew d.
rect on shore and sent immense volumes OF
water up over the beach, glllying and wash
ing out the streets and destroying walks to
an Unprecedented extent
The wind was accompanied by heavy rain,
and the temperature was reduced to point
that caused much suffering from cold.
on Seaside avenue the walks and parts OF
the roadway are so badly washed out that
boats are necessary to go from one place to
another. Many other avenues are badly
washed out, and all tranic is stopped. Water
is knec-deep on the Boulevard.
Electric lights In the hotels were extin-
guished at an early hour last night, the wires
having been rendered useless by poles being
blown down.
While It is not known that any lives have
been lost, 1t is said that two young children
were saved from drowning by employees OF
Brosnan's Hotel. Their names could not be
learned in the confusion.
Brosnan's and Tates hotels are much dam
aged by the flood. No estimate can be given
OF the amounts necessary TO repair them.
Bathing-houses and other structures near
the beach suffered much. In many Instances
the waves battered them 70 pieces, aud
washed away the debris The beach is strewn
with timbeFs.
The air Is very cola this morning, aad in
houses that the noyd las reached there is
much suffering

FELL OFF THE ROOF TO DEATH.
An Unknown Mans Tragic End
in a Park Street Area.
His Dead Body Found in n Pool Of
Blood at Daylight.

Early riSCrs In the crowded tencment-housc
IN the rear Of ~ Park street were hOrrifcd
when they looked out into the area this morn
ing and saw the body Of man lying face
downward In pool Of blood.
II was then about o'clock, and one Of the
tenants ran out and told PatrOlman welch, Of
the Elizabeth street station, who came to the
spot and ordered the body TO be left un-
touched until one OF the COroncrs should
come TO investigate.
II was Il long time before that ofIiclal pre-
scntcd himself, and everybody In Park street
journeyed into the little backyard and looked
the dead man over.
Nobody knew him. and there wasn't any
thing in his pockets to give anybody chance
to md out who he might be.
There was a clean, deep triangular shaped
wuond IN his head, just above the right tenn
pie. Otherwise he was unmarked.
1t was evidently this wound that had
caused death, and from his position in the
yard II was reasoned by Ward Detectives
Pike and sherman that the stranger had
fallen from the roof OF the building In the rear
OF 33 Park street and had been Instantly
killed
A spiral staircase winds up and around from
the basement, and where It leads out on TO
the roof II runs 80 close to the ledge that In
daytime, even, the chances OF walking on are
startling.
The supposition Is that the man was
drunk, and, although unknown TO the tenants
was acquainted with the premises, and made
his way to the roof 60 sleep OF his debauch.
| lie either rolled or staggered over the edge
and fell the 80 feet to the pavement.
The man was apparently about forty-lve
| years old with partially gray hair, closely
| clipped small sandy mustache, prominent
nose ana ive feet nine inches In height. lie
wore black cutnwny cont, black striped
pantalOOns, lawn tennis shirt aud Duttoned

Fighting tho Coroners' Salary Claims.
Comptroller Myers says that the courts will
have TO compel him to pay the salary OF Coro-
ner Schultze or any other OF the CorOners, for
he will not pay without an order Of court.
Corporation Counsel Clark has furnished
him with an opinion to the effect that his po-
sltiOn in the matter Is correct, and that all
fees collected by the COrOncrs while acting In
stead Of the sheriff in civil actions must be
covered into the city treasury.
For years the COrOners have acted In such
cases where the Sheriff was made party de-
fendant, and fees have been collected but
never accounted for.
y The reason Is that the COroners never acted
In the cases personally, but turned them over
10 a man In the Shc,ifT's Office who was gem
orally deputiZed by them TO do that sort Of
work which fell to their lot, and as cOmpen-
satiOn tOr his services he was allowed TO re-
tain the fees collected by him.
Comptroller Myers held that II the CorO-
'ners chose to have some deputy perform the
duty required by law of them, they should
reimburse him, as the fees belong TO the city,
under the provisions OF the Consolidation act
In this position he IS sustained by the
opinion OF the Corporation Counsel and has
