MYSTERY Disaster-The capsizing of the sloop Mystery in Jamaica Bay 
has proved a most heart-rending affair. To-day Canarsie was filled with 
people and with friends and relatives of the people who were lost on the 
ill fated pleasure vessel. The Nystery yesterday had thirty-seven 
excursionists on board when she capsized off Barren Island Dock.
	The party on board consisted of members and friends of 
the Cresent Yacht Club, whose members mostly reside in the sixteenth 
ward, this city. The club had for a long time been making preparations 
for a grand chowder party to be held at Ruffle Bar and yesterday the 
event was celebrated.
	At 10 o'clock in the morning the club members with their family 
and friends numbering in all about sixty persons, left the sixteenth ward 
and made their way to East New York and thence by train to Canarsie.
Two boats, the Mystery and the Christina were waiting at O'Brien's Hotel, 
Canarsie, and the whole party embarked. At 11 o'clock sail was set and 
the course made for Ruffle Bar.
	At 6 o'clock the party left the bar and started for home.Nearly 
all the women and children were on board the Mystery, while the
 Christina carried the male excursionists. The Mystery was directly in
 the channel when she tacked to go about, and struck the bar. The 
Christina was about 200 hundred yards away when she capsized.
	Andrew Robinson, who is employed on the coaling schooner 
Joseph C. Woodstock, of Amboy, which lay at Barren Dock, got out 
to the wreck and started picking up men, women and children. He had 
ten persons in his boat when the tugboat,George C. Dean, arrived.
	The water where the Mystery capsized was about 20 feet deep. 
The tide was running slowly at the time. The rescued and the dead were 
brought to Kings Hotel. As near as can be estimated there were 37 men, 
women and children on the Mystery.

DEATHS AT THE SEASIDE HOME
Bodies brought to this city by grieving parents
on railroad trains.
	The discovery has been made that while the poor sick children
of the city are cared for at The Seaside House of the Children's
Aid Society at Coney Island, no provision is made for the disposal
of the bodies after death or their transportation to the home
of the parents. Instead, the parents are requested to remove
the body of their infant as soon as possible and in the
majority of cases their poverty prevents the expenditure of a
carriage and the dead child is conveyed by the city by one of 
the railroads, the matron of the home, furnishing the tickets.
The railroad companies object to being made public undertakers.
	At the office of the society in Poplar street a Standard 
Union reporter was informed this morning that the management 
of the home was vested in Matron DOUGLAS and the records were kept 
there and the number of deaths could not be given
	General superintendent PHILLIPS, of the Prospect Park & Coney
Island Railroad, said that the subject of transporting dead infants
had been mooted before the trustees, but no action had been
taken. He knew of occasions where the bodies had been removed in 
carriages.
	Undertaker and Morgue Keeper STILLWELL, of Gravesend, stated 
that he had never been called to remove a body from the home.
	The society claim to have no more money than they need and if
the public respond with the necessary funds they are ready
to make the provisions for removal of the dead.
