 SUNK DURING STORM
No Trace Found Of Steamer Re- ported Grounded Off HattcraS.

Norfolk, Va, April 5.-Every pos sible effort, both from land and sea, was being made today to learn the fate of the Royal Dutch West Indies company's steamer Prins Maurits, believed to have foundered off Hat teras with a loss of about fifty per sons in the great storm that lashed the South Atlantic coast Saturday.
 Coast guard cutters, warships and oher craft searching for the Maurits yesterday found no trace of the ves- sel near the spot from where she sent out wireless calls for aid, and it was feared crew and passengers shared the fate of fifteen of the crew of the tug Edward Luckenbach, drowned off False Camp when the storm claimed the tug as victim. No news of the Maurits had come early today from coast guard stations.
 Bargcs Driven Ashore.
 Barges fared worse than other yes seis in the storm. Many broke away from tugs and were driven ashore. IAghtships were torn from their moorings and driven before the wind. shore resorts were swept by wind and waves and beaches were strewn with wreckage of small craft.
 In shipping circles it was feared thirteen men aboard the barge Tam pico, which broke from a tug last Tuesday, were lost.
 Many Thrilling Rescues.
 Many thrilling rescues are report ed. The captain and crew of six of the schooner Alice Murphy were taken from their waterlogged vessel by the steamer Lenape's crew after they had been lashed to the mizzen- mast for thirty-six hours. A small boat made the perilous trip from the Lenape to the Murphy and back again with the seven men.
 The Morgan Line steamer Comus rescued the crew of the barge North western, adrift for more than twenty four hours. The crew of the schoon- CT M. F. Greasy was taken from their vessel by the Diamond Shoals Lightship.
 Ten Men Lost. Ten men were lost orr the Delaware Capes when the tug Cumberland lost barges it was towing.

BURGLARS KILL THREE
 MEN IN NEW YORK
Bodies of Restaurant Proprietor and Two Employees Found in Cellar
 by Police.

New York, April 5.-Otto Finn, a restaurant keeper, and two of his em- ployes, Ronann Held and Stephen Bovorisky, were killed early today in Zinn's restaurant, supposedly by burg lars Finn and his wife who slept over the restaurant, were awakened by a crash down stairs and the pro- prietor went down to investigate. When he failed to return, his wife called policeman, who found the restaurant keeper and his two em- ployes dead in the cellar.
 In the cellar was found also safe which had been moved from a place on the floor above and evidently thrown down stairs. It had not been broken open.
 Besides the dead man lay three bloody cleavers with which the burg lars had battered in their victim S heads. The police found also a re- volver and a set of burglars tools.
 There was evidence that the men who committed the crime had se- creted themselves in the cellar after eating a meal in the restaurant. The porter and the cooks had been sur prised and killed when they came down to get coal. The proprietor ap- parently had surprised the thieves at work trying to open the safe.
