COMFY ISLAND wRECKEp.
Costly Buildings and Improvements swept
Away by the Tidal Wave.

Away kAlN AAaAAA NtAN0s
New YoRK, Nov. 2S.-The destruction
by the storm of property on Coney
Island will not be covered by 100000
The Concourse may be said to be total
wreck. The expensive concert roadway
lies ia heaps of irregular fragments that
show where the waves swallowed up
$4,000. Kearns' Ocean Hotel, which
had the addition containing the kitchen
swept away by the waves, stands totter-
ing upon a few piles, and even moder;
ate gale accompanied by high tide will
destroy it utterly. Kearns estimates his
loss variously from $4,000 to $4,000,
fair weather alone making 1t possible TO
keep the loss at the lower figures. The
Coney Island Gas Company is out about
5000 by the gale, through damage to
Its stables and mains along the Con-
course. The Marine railroad officials
have rs yet done nothing beyond view
ing the spot once occupied by their ex-
pensive station and breakwater, AS not
a vestige even OF the foundations re-
main their loss will probably foot up to
$4,000. The quarters OF the Brighton
Beach bathing pavilion was carried
away, and the portion that remains is
almost sure to 80 when it blows hat
full Of wind.
Between Manhattan Beach and
Brighton the sea made a clean breach
across thebeach and has partially opened
the old inlet. The Manhattan Beach
hotel was not injured, but four of the
large bulk-heads that project into tue
ocean were knocked into worthless
heaps OF stones and splintered timbers.
The beautiful flower gardens that
away to the beach in front Of
the hotel were washed away and heaps
OF sand and debris left in their places.

Who Turns Out to he waidron the Run.
away Hnlsdale banker.
NEW York, Nov. 2S.-Amorning paper
says: Slowly sad-eycd careworn man
approached the clerk at the desk Of the
Metropolitan hotel Sunday, and said he
wished to engage room. He quietly
said he did not want to register, as such
action would give him notoriety that he
did not wish to encounter Just now. All
the time he glanced nervously about,
evidently fearful that be might be recog-
nized. The clerk said he could not grant
the request, as it wns against the rules Of
the house. The stranger sighed, said
he might as well reveal hisidentity and
then told the clerk that he was G. w.
Waldron, the banker, Of Hillsdale, Mich,
who last summer ran away with Mrs.
Binwell, the wife Of man living in a
neighboripg town. Waldron also grim.
ly said that he took with him about
$50, 900 in cash and that as he bad some
of the money left he thought he could
pay for such accommodations as might
be given him. When reporter called
upon Mr.. Waldron Sunday evening, the
whilom banker said he did not feel dis
posed to make any statement concern
ing his escapade, nor would he say but
little about his home, family and busi'
ness, except that he was on his way
back from London. Yesterday he left
this city for Detroit, and will go thence
to Hillsdale. Waldron said that he de-
posted enough money with New York
bank to make his creditors claims against
| him good.

1856. An act has since been passed
which prevented the Indians, its lawful
owners, from occupying the land. The
question must soon be settled, and am
sure that all the tribes would release
their claims for q fair sum from the
