REFUSED TO LEAVE THE VESSEL.

In Declining to Risk Himself in the
Crowded Lifeboat Seamsn Castellsno
Signed His Own Death WARRANTED
Day and Night Of Thrilling Escapes.
Philadelphia, Oct.s7.--While the north
east hurricane on the middle Atlantic
coast has abated In fury, sharp squalls
are still blowing around the Delaware
capes and enormous tides are reported
all along the bay and river. The list Of
maritime casualties grows larger as
further details Of the gales havoc are
received. The italian bark francesca
r., which sailed from this port Oct. Is
for Oporto, went to pieces at Fourteen
Foot bank. eighty miles below the city.
The vessels master, Captain Calivano.
and eleven of the crew Of twelve men
reached this city last night after day
and night Of thrilling escapes from
death. The twelfth man Of the crew.
Marion Castellano. seaman. refused to
leave the vessel, and In all probability
Ia lost.
Owing to light winds the francesca,
under Pilot Bennett, anchored about q
week ago q short distance off Fourteen
Foot bank. All went well until Sunday,
when the storm broke about her, in
creasing in fury until about 10 o'clock
at night. The sea was running high
and the wind had almost reached hurri-
cane strength. The waves broke over
the deck and shook her from stem to
stern. Both anchors were out, and as
each sea broke they frightened and
ts,0 f0I1t NJ n
chains broke away, and the vessel
swung around and was pitched and
tossed about Soon after the second
chain went overheard, and then the
bark dfifted for short time. when she
struck heavily on the shoals two miles
of Fourteen Foot bank. As each sue
ceeding wave washed clean over her
she was fast going to pieces, and her
cargo of case and barrel oil was wash
ed overheard. The danger Of the POSI-
ton was fully realized, but 1t was de-
cided to stand by the ship until day
light. -.,
When morning broke the wind had
not decreased, and it seemed only a
question of an hour or so before the
vessel would break to pieces. During
Ine ulkHt her IIldSt6 WcHS Ny lhe podku,
and when 1t was time to leave her
there was scarcely any Of her cargo
aboard. There were but two lifeboats.
In an attempt to launch one Of these
1t was lost The other was all that was
left to carry the thirteen souls aboard
to an uncertain fate. Castenallo, at the
last moment, refused to go, saying all
would be lost. Nothing remained but
to leave him, and In the small boat the
thirteen mariners put off. After pull
of over seven miles the Delaware shore
was sighted, and soon after the wet
and exhausted survivors landed on the
beach. They were from daylight I'M
til nearly o'clock coming from the Ill
fated vessel to land.
At Cape May yesterday Charles Lo-
per and a mate, a Swede, started to
cross the meadow in the high tide and
were thrown from their yawl, which
capsized. They swan to a knoll and
there signaled their danger, while the
tide gradually rose around them. They
were eventually rescued In batteau
by George Roseman, who went out at
The peril Of his life.

It was the regular monthly meeting Of
the Liars club. The chairman, Lionel
Phibbs, introduced the guest Of the even
ing, Sergeant Brown Of the westher bu-
reau. His introductory words were very
happy-"T There 10 no man who has had
more opportunities for lying or who has
availed himself of them with more fire.
quency than Sergeant Brown, who will
now lie little"
"Mr Chairman and gentlemen Of the
Liars' club, said the sergeant with me,
as member Of the weather bureau, lying
IL business, and / cannot therefore tell
lie with the gusto Of an amateur, but
little incident that happened few sum
mers ago out in Indiana may possess some
interest for you.
"You may remember the summer Of
fearful drought In Indiana. Crops were
frizsled up, brooks lost their right Of way
and people who had reviled water as the
last thing to put In mans mouth went
about hunting for drop Of 1t. At no
place was water more needed than in the
manufacturing town Of Egerton, Ind. The
chief industry of the place is locomotive
building, and they had an order for ten
locomotives to be finished in a certain
time or they would not be accepted. The
lake that ran the factory had but seven
inches of water In 1t, and the owners were
in despair. II the machinery didn't start
inside Of three days, they would lose the
order.
"At this juncture the owners sent for
me to SEQ If something could not be done,
and went out there. To make matters
worse enormous black clouds hurried In
both directions across Indiana day after
day, to empty themselves into tho water
soaked neighboring states; but, as If they
had grudge against the Hoosiers not
drop fell there
"'H you can make 1t rain, we will give
you life pass good on any railroad in
the country said the president of the
company.
II acted promptly. ordered the local
artillery company to bring it's cannons
and plant one on each Of the four sides of
the lake, with the bores pointed ut an an
gle of As degrees and to get ready to fire.
Then l Issued q weather report prophesy-
ing clear day, and, Of course, that
brought the clouds. They Travelled from
east to west and wore very black and
heavy. got the men to train their guns SO
that when shot the four balls would meet
over the lake and not do any damage to
property, and then I waited for cloud Of
the right size. It soon came. 'Firer said
/. They fired and the cloud burst then
and there, and its contents filed that lake
bed as neatly as II the cloud had been
measured for 1t. In few minutes the
factory was running and the locomotives
were finished on time, and got my pass.
"What became of tho cannon ballsP"
asked member.
"Oh," replied the sergeant, "they were
welded together by the force Of contact
and dropped on an island in the exact GEN.
ter of the lake, and the company had an
inscription engraved upon them setting
forth the facts and giving me due credit
for my services. Charles Battell Loomis

The High Tide Recedes.

New York, Oct. T.-The unusually
high tide. which caused much damage
along the Long Island and New Jersey
coast Monday, receded yesterday. and
further damage is not anticipated. The
railroad tracks are still submerged In
some parts Of northeastern New Jer-
sey, and trains do not yet cross the
meadows near Atlantic Highlands. No
trains were running yesterday on the
New Jersey Southern railroad near
Seabright, as sand and wreckage COW
cred the track.

accent. Both are expensive, but golf 10
not poor mans game, you know. Then
buy or steal your golf clubs. There are ex-
actly 2, 847, sos, 0O8 Of them, but one will
do to start with. As to the costume kits
should be worn II practicable, but the or
binary American or English golf suit will
attract sufficient attention to satisfy the
beginner. l
When you arrive on the grounds, you
will remember what you have come for.
In case you forget some one will probably
remind you that 1t wasn't to stand In his
way He will sometimes tell you this by
word of mouth and sometimes by meeting
your neck in the downward sweep Of his
club. Both arc impulsive movements, and
you will always remember II you live.
Don't be discouraged at hitting only the
atmosphere the first seven times you make
drive with your weapon, your toe the
next IA times and the seat Of bystander's
knickerbockers the next time after that,
but continue to persevere In month or
two you will be able to hit the ball and
land 1t into some bystander's mouth, and
then, oh, joy!
Never pick up your ball in your hand,
drop 1t in a hole when nobody 10 looking
and then shout, "By Jove, just look at
this beautiful shot Of mineW 1t Is gener-
ally regarded a. cheating. The etiquette
Of the game is thus described:
First.--It Ia considered very bad form
for player or spectator to talk, move or
breathe within 40 miles Of the ball when
stroke Is being made. 1t Is generally I'M
derstood that the earth stops spinning
around on Its axis when a game Of golf ia
going on for fear Of jogging the player.
Second.-Players should not appear on
the grounds with golf stockings previously
worn while bicycle riding. This would be
an outrage on the dignity Of the game. A
new pair of stockings, with different
plaid pattern, should be donned by every
player after each stroke at the ball. This
does not apply to the lady players.
Third.-Turf cut or knocked up In the
air by blow that misses the ball should
be instantly replaced, so as not to spoil the
appearance Of the links. Teeth Of specta-
tors knocked out or skin damaged by wild
blows do not matter very much-unless
they belong to members Of the same club
as yourself.
Fourth.-If q ball falls into pond,
: lake or ocean, the player who made the
stroke must immediately dive for it with.
out removing his golf costume, and must
stay under water until the ball is found.
The fine against this violation Of good
taste is forbidding the yiolator to turn
down the tops Of his golf stockings more
than half an inch. This punishment is
seldom enforced, however, as 1t causes the
offender untold anguish Of mind.
Fifth.-Goh should always be pro.
nounced gof by those players who move
in the best society. For ordinary persons
1t makes no difference. And on every o.
casion should 1t be spelled with q capital

Kick ON Weather Predictions.
Without any extra cost to our readers
we this week Issue supplement to tho
main sheet, which contains full &c
counts Of II cold blooded murders, fivp
ghost stories, four mine horrors an
three Indian bu!cLerics, and We are SOL
ry TO say that there were crowded OH
for lack Of space six beautiful incident
in which men were bitten by mad
wolves or rattlesnakes and died in the
most horrible agonies. While this isn't
exactly our style of literature our read
ers want 1t, and we defer to them. 1t is
our aim to keep in the lead. and If we
can find enough Of these stories and in.
cidents to make supplement- about
once in four weeks the same will be is
sued and our subscribers made happy.
A Missing Artist.
A young man named Grant, who
came out here few days ago to paint
mountain scenery and who was stop.
ping over at Pine Hill, has been miss
ing for the last five daya He went out
to sketch the mouth Of Black canyon,
and next day they found his easel and
brushes and paints scattered over the
ground. Tho general idea is that bear
with MS lair in tho canyon woke up,
saw a good thing in front Of him and
proceeded to take it in. He makes the
fourth artist who has mysteriously dis.
appeared in this section in the last two
years. The belief that Mr.. Grant is on
the inside is further strengthened by
the fact that bear which Joe Harper
shot at and wounded day or two ago
near the canyon spat several trousers
buttons and vest buckle out Of his
mouth as he ran away.
Tho Best We Can Do.
Wednesday noon Of last week band
of about 40 indignant citizens, headed
by Major Wharton Of the Cactus ranch,
surrounded The Kicker office and fired
about 200 bullets into the home Of the
greatest family paper on earth. The OBJ
ject was to rebuke us for posting weather
bulletins which did not pan out as rep
resented, and we were duly rebuked.
When we started our weather bureau.
we explicitly announced that all the
tools we had to work with were map
Of the world, two foot rule and a red
lead pencil.
In 90 days we have hit the weather
48 times, which we submit is doing de-
Gently we'll. In few instances we have
predicted rain which obstinately refused
to show up, and two or three times we
have overlooked high winds and frosty
nights.
We have done our best. however, and
II our people are not satisfied they must
turn in some other direction. End Major
Wharton come to Us personally and
alone and like q gentleman we would
have tried to give him the sort Of
weather he wants to grow jack rabbits
and tarantulaa, but under the oircum-
stances we'll be hanged if we favor him
over anybody else. M. QUAD.
