FOUR SHIPS SUNK.
Waterspout Causes Disasters
 Of New Jersey Coast.
TWELVE SEANES REPORTED DEAD.
Vessels at Anchor Near Port Mon- mouth Capsised In Midst of Ty- phOon and Hailstorm-Play-
 cd Havoc Ashore.


 NEW YORK, June 25.-Twelve sail ors are believed to have perished in four vessels overturned by terrific northeast gale and hallstorm that swept western Long Island and Staten Island and swooped across New York bay and the Now Jersey coast.
 With sea and sky uniting suddenly on Sandy Hook, the waters of New York bay were torn by veritable ty- plloon, in the midst of which a giant waterspout, black as indigo, thirty or forty feet wide at its base, reaching high into the air and revolving rapidly, rushed upon group of vessels an- chored in the channel
 The doomed craft were two masted schooner from Red Bank, N. J.; three fishing sloops of the New York and New Jersey oil and Guano company and large mud scow. They were lying to the eastward of Port Mon. mouth.
 rlie hapless men aboard the vessels were unable to make move for their escape. The waterspout spinning like some huge and hollow top, swallowed one sloop after the other, seized upon the schooner and the scow and after tossing them about like cockleshells turned them turtle, with their spars sticking in the bottom of the bay.
 Spectators of the tragedy at Port Monmouth. \. j., two miles distant, declare that for distance of one mile from Sandy Hook point across the bay to where the vessels were anchored the sea and sky suddenly became black as midnight.
 The waterspout ,encompassed the de structlon of the boats in fifteen min utes time and then broke with a thun- dering crash that resounded from At lantic Highlands to Port Monmouth. The storm already had worked ter rife havoc at Coney Island, where the hailstorm had driven tens of thou. sands of holiday visitors to shelter.
 Thousands of panes of glass and sky lights were broken, and number. of frame structures were unroofed. The storm then struck Staten Island and caused more than s15,0oo damage.
 Eighty-two window panes were bro- ken in the railroad station house at Tottenville. and the lightning set fire to number of houses.
 The gale gained it's full force of some sixty miles an hour, when it had clean sweep to the southwestward across the lower bay, which is divided into New York and. Raritan bays.

'Who was he?" asked Karl.
"Some one that the wind carried away once.
Have you never heard the story?"
NO." said Karl. "Ten it to me, won t
your
eyes," said the Brownie. "If you are going
to be shoemaker you ought to know the
story. long, long time ago, in an old, old
town in Ancientland, there lived cobbler
named Rupert. That was his real name, but
almost all the town people knew him by the
name Of the Selfish Cobber."
why did they call him that?" asked Karl.
Because he was never known to do any

Selfish Cobbler, would never throw them a
farthlng from his window and they never
came there unless to sing some song that
would remind him of his selfshness. This
made the cobbler very angry, though he knew
more and more to dislike everybody.
"One day as Rupert was sitting on his
bench, making a pair Of shoes, boy came In.
to his shop. He was thin, poorly dressed
child, and Rupert looked at him very scorn
fully.

could hardly obey; but he managed to measure

been shown a great pile of leather, he set to
work.

1t was a small place, boarded around to keep
out the wind and rain, and just above it was
the great water tank, over which the old wind
mill whirled and creaked Many a night
Karl had lain awake and listened to the sound,
and felt drops from the overflowing tank
splash through the cracks of his little room.
Hans VANDERBILT was shoemaker-at least
that was what his sign said about him; but
Karl really did almost all the work in the
shop, for Hans had an idea that he was to
be great poet, and felt above working at
his trade.
"Why should man tie down his soul with
shoe-strings?" he used to say To his neighbors;
while Karl cobbled shoes and helped make a
living for all the little Vanderketts.
But for all his work Karl received but little
besides cross words and poor fare, SO it was
small wonder that he said to himself, How |
wish l did not work for Hans Vanderkett!"
"He is a hard MASTER indeed" said little
voice. as Karl threw himself down on the
floor of his room.
Karl looked around in amazement. Who
could be there besides himself?
"Don't be alarmed" said the little voice
again. II am only the Windmill Brownie"
And as Karl looked in the direction from
which the voice seemed to come, he saw q
queer little man, not more than few inches
and wore pointed brown cap on his head
"Why, where did you come from?" said
Karl. IL thought l was all alone"
II came from the windmill overhead" said
the little man., with smile. IL thought you
might be lonely, and SO concluded I would
make you a visit"

Karl felt quite embarrassed at being praised
to his face, and he did not know what to say.
The Brownie did not seem to be at all dis
concerted, however, but skipped over to where
Karl lay, and sat down on the window-ledge.
Presently the Brownie began to sing to him
self 1t sounded something like the wind
whistling.
What are you singing% asked Karl.

Death of John B. hdnSfield

John BARLEY Mansfield died in
Glenwo ood Springs last Monday morn
ing after an illness of but one week.
The Mansfield brothers of which
John. or Bart as he was familiarly
called, was the eldest. :. have been
prominent factors il. the development
of Garfield county and many have
complimented them upon the perse-
verance with which they have pur-
sued their various undertakings. Sew
eral years ago John B. Mansfield,
associated with his three brothers,
opened what is known as the Dia
mond mine. They worked this prop
erty some time but, on account of
litigation, were obliged to abandon
it. Recently they reopened this mine
and it was in connection with this
work that deceased contracted a Sc
we're cold resulting in pneumonia.
The evening preceding his death
his friends considered him out of
danger. The crisis had been passed
and his recovery seemed more than
probable. but during the night the
muscles of the heart suddenly became
paralyzed and it then was evident
that death was near.
John BARLEY Mansfield was born
near Hopedale. Ohio, October Is,
1856, and was therefore forty nine
years, five months and eleven days
old at the time of his death. He
came to Colorado twenty years ago
since which time he has been engaged
in farming and mining, principally
in Garfield county. He leaves to
mourn his loss wife aud three small
children, his aged mother, five broth
ers and three sisters. The funeral
was held Tuesday afternoon from the
Presbyterian church, Rev. J. Wilson
Currens conducting the services. In
terment was in Rosebud cemetery.
