ator turned his attention toa young mau who
was engaged in tho dangerous lnstime Of

SO many escaped Some of the workers had
already gpno home for the evening; tho
others had a few seconds warning and many
escaped. Curious to relate, nearly all who
got into tho tower, and many who only got
near it, were saved, MS the stout timhers fell
at an incline TO the tower and kept the debris
from crushing those below. In many
working mans home the supper was smoking
on the table and tho careful mother expecting
the arrival Of her loved one, only to be
reused from her fond waiting by the news Of
the catastrophe, or, rs happened in many
cases, by the arrival OF men bringing tho
man5lcd body Of husband or daughter. The
rush Of fren2iGl relations to the scene WAS SO
great that tho authorities were obliged to
call on tho local militia; those formed q
strong guard line around the ruins, within
which strong bands of men, frequently re-
linved, worked inccssantly at removing the
ruins, passing out the corpses as fast as they
were uncovered.
In Brooklyn, while tho real damage was
but slight--only two deaths are certainly
know19-the attendant phenomena were most
alarming. The narrow current of tornado
came in over Gowanus bay, struck and ex-
plodcd tho great tank Of tho Citizens Gas

buildings and slightly injured about 100 resi-

ibrl1n s. IIewitt's War Services.

Nhcn the war broke out Mr.. Hewitt placed
his services ut the disposal Of tho government
1T Washington. He vas not fitted either by
nature or training for military position, but
he possessed a technical knowledge OF iron
manufacture ind remarkable skill in diplo-
1nncy which mnde his services of far greater
vnluo to the government than If he had been
graduate Of West Point or Annapolis. On
two occasions he WAS sent abroad by Pres-
dent Lincoln rs the accredited representative
of the government. On both occasions Le
was the lcarer Of letters from Secretary
Stanton to Minister Adams in London, who
WAS directed to cooperate with Mr. Hewitt
in everything TINT tho latter did. 1Nhel.
Secretary Stanton came into office ho found
himself confronted with great civil war
and discovered to his CONSERVATION that
there was no gun iron made i'll tho country.
The position of tho government was Il p ril-
otls one. Mr.. 11ewitt's technical knowledge
of the manufacture OF iron made his services
in this juncture of great value. 1t was nee
essary to havc the gun barrels made here and
the secret of their manufacture must be dis
covered.
When he arrived in England Mr.. Hewitt
adroitly managed to effect M entrance into
the gun iron works OF the Marshall Iron COM
pany Visitors were not allowed to enter tho
works and he had TO resort to strategy IN
order to effect his purpose He watched tho
process Of making gun iron, mastered it, and
on his return home introduced it into the
United States.
With several large mills under his control
Mr.. Hewitt immediately set to work to make
gun iron, and with such success that lie pro-
duced all that was used during the last three
years of the war In the making of this gun
iron Mr.. Hewitt e1tricated the government
at Washington from an exceedingly cmbar
RAISING position and enabled it to place arms
quickly in the soldiers hands Not only did
Mr.. Hewitt mako no profit on his work, but
ho actually incurred u heavy loss. Tho secrc-
tary Of war offered to secure him indemnity,
but Mr.. Hewitt declined it, as he also did the
proposition that congress should tender him
