THE GREW IN THE RIGGING.
Diver Found at the Bottom of the Sea
Men Still at Their Posts.

New York, September l1.-All doubt
as to the fate of missing. fishing smack
Empire State was settled yesterday, and
it is now certain that she foundered OIL
Squan Beach with all hands. The fish
ing smack Marie Louise went down to
Squan Beach with diver on board. The
masts of wrecked vessel were protrud-
ing out of the water, and the diver went
down to investigate. The first object
that met his gaze was the body of a sail
or entanged in the rigging, his eyes
staring wildly open. The diver freed
the body and it rose to the surface. 1t
was taken on board the Marie Louise,
and found to be that of Joseph Beeroch.
the mate of the Empire State. Every
soul on board had gone down with the
Inflated smack, and the diver saw sever
al of the bodies on the deck of the yes
sci. 1t was a gruesome sight, and
enough to make one's blood run cold.
Some of the sailors had been imprisoned
in the cabin and drowned before they
could get out, while others were dashed
to the spars and rigging. None of the
other bodies were disturbed by the diver.
The fishing smack Ella NJ. johnson also
went ashore during the squall and all
hands ont board persisted. An attempt
will be made to raise the Empire State.

Topeka, Sept. 9.--The race for homes
that will occur on the 10th inst. from the
north line of Oklahoma Territory and the
