CYCLONE DESCENDED OUT OF A
'CLEAR SKY YESTERDAY LASHED
WATERS OF THE BAY INTO FURY

In the meantime Captain Isaac Far
roat had put out in the gale, in his
power boat, to assist Captain Liddle.
He went around the bluff with his
boat riding waves eight and ten feet
high. He thought Captain Liddle
would be behind the dock in frsnt OF
the Miller residence. He was not
there, however, and in the teeth of
the gale the power boat was turned
and headed back up the sound. 1t was
risky work and its progress was
watched by an anxious crowd. Captain
Farroat reached shore in safety, but
was wet through.
Captain Liddle was able TO be out
this morning. He said he had been
on the water seventy years this month
and he had never known storm to
come so suddenly that he did not have
some little time to get ready for it, as
was the case yesterday.
DeHart Bros, of Tottenville. lost
four large skiffs loaded with oysters,
while Joline Bros. of the same place,
lost five skiff loads.
The gale did not last long buG
while it was at its worst many large
and small schooners were caught un-
aware as we'll as the oystermen and
they were compelled to make for the
shelter under the Staten Island shore.
In New York harbor the two-masted
schooner w. Fl. Barnes, well known
here, was caught in the gale while
she was sailing along. under full sail
and before the crew could get her sails
down she had turned turtle.
Last night and this morning sixteen
boats OF all descriptions We're picked
UP in the sound by oystermen and they
will he held until the owners call for
them.
Henry Odlum found a iitteen-foot
bateau floating at o'clock. 1t con-
tanned pair of oars,Ea rake and sesae
oysters. 1t was lead color.
a small boat was picked up between
the borough dock, South Amboy, and
the coal docks yesterday afternoon dur
ing the heavy wind. The boat con-
tanned bushel basket of hard clans,
a clam rake, shinnecock rake, and
several short bundles. Also some
clothing A party employed on the
hard coal piers claims to have seen
the boat on the beds just after the
blow started. He watched it till it
came ashore. AS there was no one
in the boat and the clothing appar-
emily belonged to two different men,
it was thought that the parties might
have been drowned.
Douglas McFarlane, who had started
for South River and who was reported
drowned yesterday, was blown across
the bay and succeeded.in landing on
the south shore.

Refusing to Pay.

stable Brown tried to arrest him yes

lice have been notified that they are

The deputy got another dollar-and-
a-half from another employe at the

morning was as warm as summer
day. The air was still and the water
exceedingly calm. Shortly after din
mel black cloud appeared TO the
northwest. 1t swEng around TO the
eastward. gathering in size all the
time. Suddenly it was due east and
came in from the ocean with u rush,
tearing up the surface OF the bay,
making waves eight and ten feet
high. The change took place in a
twinkling, The boatmen had hardly
noticed the cloud. Suddenly. however,
they heard roar. and, looking down
the bay, the cyclone was approaching
like fog. sThe next moment, what
had been perfectly calm surface
under warm summer sun. was roll
ing billows, mountain high. with the
wind hewling ut ninety miles an hour
and the sky was covered with lnky
blackness.
Nearly all OF the. oysteraen OF TINS

filled aud they we're making for home
when gale broke.
Walter Woglom and Fred Odlum, in
big power launch, were towing two
skiffs filled with oysters. The sudden
gale lashed the water into fury and
both skifs filled so suddenly that the
men had only time to cut the line
which held thsm to the power boat
before the skiifs sank.
Captain Abe Woglom. Louis Pate
man and william Reed were out in a
skiff, hal. filled with oysters and were
towing small bateau. The latter
filed and sank. The three men were
kept busy hailing and throwing their
oysters overheard and thus managed
to reach shore They were completely
exhausted. t'l
Captain Tom Liddle, the Oldest boat
man on the bay, was at work in skitf
off the bluff. The first he knew his
hat went sailing through the air.
The next moment his boat was tossing
like an egg shell. He could hardly
stand before the gale. He managed to
reach his oars, but he was powerless.
He was carried before the wind
through sea seldom seen here. He
was blown helplessly up the river and
his skiff ran upon the beach at the
foot of Brighton avenue. Captain
Liddle managed to get out OF his boat,
bnt he was so completely exhausted
he coulu not walk. Some men stand
ing near assisted him and an express
wagon was summoned and he was
taken home.

THE CRIDlRON
M'NALLY IS DEAD
Plucky Bridgeport Boy Succumbs at Last to Injuries Received
 Thanksgiving Day.

Bridgeport, Dec S.-After long and hopeless fight for his life, the spirit left the body of Leo Nally Beers yes terday afternoon at 2:30 o'clock in St Vincent's hospital At his bedside when death came were his step-father, Philip Beers, and his aunt. Mrs Lar kin. His mother had just left the hos pital before he died.
 As stated above, the young mans name was Leo Nally Beers. He was called "McNally" by his friends, anG by the public press. It seems that he was nicknamed Mac" when in the army, and when he returned to this city after his term of enlistment the name stuck. He went by the name of his step-father, Beers, but was always called McNally. r.
 The general public was greatly in- terested in his brave struggle for life, after the fatal injury in the Thanksgiv- ing football match, and the regret was universal last night at the news of his death.
 A meeting of the combined junior football elevens of the city was held last evening. It was decided to nave the six captains of the junior elevens act as pallbearers. The managers of the elevens each agreed to have twen- ty men in line. The large delegation will march to the residence of the boys parents, 14S Thompson street, ill a body.
 The funeral will be held Sunday af- ternoon at 80 o'clock from his late home, and from St Patrick's church at ? o'clock. The interment will be in St Michael's cemetery.
 The proceeds of the dance to be held at Madison hall, December 13, will be given to the boys mother. The second lot of 1000 tickets for the danct have been placed on sale, and the friends of the dead boy find no diff culty in disposing of their tickets. There will be special meeting of the consolidated junior elevens tomorrow evening at Elm Donnelly's.

HART A FARMER
The Southern Heavyweight Titled His Own Farm Results of
 Battles in New York.

Throughout the major portion of the seven years Marvin Hart has been ill the ring he has had to contend with certain element at home which final ly had to acknowledge him cham pionship possibility. For long time contingent refused to accept Hart at his true value. Nearly every time he engaged in contest his certain defeat was predicted, yet, by his superb gameness and wonderful ability to withstand punishment and to admins ter it, he forced this unwilling coterie to rally around him and hail him as the coming chief among the mightiest of the big men.
 Notably was this true following his defeat in San Francisco of Jack John- son, the ''black Corbett," who was re- garded as a worthy opponent of lief fries. After Hart whipped Root and Jeffries declared that Hart was able to protect the championship laurels, Louisville sports and Kentuckians in general pinned their faith to the Marvellous One" and awaited results.
 Hart lost himself in the jungle and surprised not only his warmest follow CTS, but brought forth sarcastic con- ment from sporting writers and the sporting fraternity at large, He hunt ed for squirrels when he should have been hunting for a fight, watched his corn field ripen when he should have been reaping the benefit his position in pugilism justified him in receiving through series of engagements at summer parks, since he seems to be imbued with the show idea, and thus he spent the months since his battle at Reno last July.

SIX DAYS CYCLE GO.
P1ucIxy Frenchman Quits With BrO-

NEW YORK, Dec. S.-Louis Trous- salier, who has quit the six day bicycle race in Madison Square Garden, is at the Bartholdi hotel with broken rib. The doctors discovered the nature of his injury only after he left the track. The plucky Frenchman rode for near ly twenty-four hours despite the pain. He was injured in bad spill yester- day.
 The motor cycle race, which has been special feature, may have to be discontinued for the safety of the spectators in the arena boxes. Al though the management instructed Saunders. and.o Turgiae to keep the speed of the machines down, the mel have continually kept them up to the limit.
 The six day plodders began to hit up the pace at 2 o'clock, as the manage ment offered hourly prizes of $10 for the rider who led with the greatest number of laps every six hours. Ter teams now survive, with the Bedel brothers in the lead by lap.

BOWLING.
SPORT IN WOOSTER
Louis Madden and Pat Rooney in Novel Match Alley Records
 Smashed Last Night.

Either Louis Madden, the pianist at the Jacques or Pat Rooney, now per forming in that theater, will have the need of an athletic trainer after their game of pool at the Wooster pool and billiard rooms. Both are enthusiastic pool experts but each refuses to yield the matter of supremacy tonight when they cross cues in one hundred and fifty point game. It is the loser of the match that will need the athletic trainer for he must drag a four wheGNs ed buggy around the green and in tle buggy will be seated the winner of the pool match. The match tonight therefore will attract considerable at tention but it will not attract quite as much interest as will that trip around the little green spot in the center.
 That MT Pakulski, the proprietor of the Wooster, does not intend to let the grass grow under his feet Is very manifest from the prizes he expects to offer. Four $5 gold pieces will be awarded to the fortunate ones. Two of these will be awarded to the two men making the highest scores in three strings; one will be for the high est single string and one will be for the highest string in duck pins. The contest started yesterday and will end Christmas.
 The record of the alleys was brokeu last night when Kilburn rolled the big score of 634. The strings were as follows: POP, 19S and 234. Bostwick also bowled big score making 547. His strings were 203, 1S7 and 157.
