FIRE SWEPT ROCKAWAY
The Loss Estimated at One
Million Dollars.
TWO LIVES KNOWN TO BE LOST

Mrs. Philips and Her Daughter Perished
in the Museum-Jndignation Among
tine Residents over the inadequate sup
ply of Water Firemen Injured.
RocKAwAY, N. Y, Sep. 21.-The most
disastrous con6agration that has ever
visited this seaside resort was finally mas.
tered at o'clock last evening, after sew
eral hours of hard fighting. For a while
1t seemed as though the fire was beyond
all human control, and the general belief
was that it would burn while there was
mate rial to feed it. The local fire depart
ment was badly hampered in its, efforts
by the lack of water. When the firemen
attached their hose to two or three of the
hydrants in the vicinity of the fire the
pressure became so low that it was i'm
possible to throw a stream further than
half dozen feet.
The residents here feel indignant over
the revealed state of their water supply.
and assert that Supervisor Smith, of
Hampstead, who is president of the
Queens County Water Works, which sup
ply Rockaway with water, was RESPONSE
BILE for the insufficient supply. 1t is as
serted that when Rockaway contracted
for the water supply it was stipulated
that pressure enough would be furnished
to throw a stream 40 feet high at all
times
The area burned over is from 20 to 80
acres, and where, formerly, there was n
long line of hotels, bathing houses.
carousals, etc. is now a mass of smolder-
ing ruins. 1t was not until the reinforce
ments from Long Island City, Ozone
Park, Woodhaven and Morris Park had
arrived that any headway was made.
The following is a correct list Of the
buildings destroyed:
Kingsland's Casino, Meissner's Hotel.
Collins Hotel, David Fileo's Hotel
Murray & Datz's Hotel, Sam Myers Ho-
tel and Iron Pier, Simpsons Hotel, Shu-
ber's Globe Hotel, Garrison's Bakery, st.
James Hotel, George Burchell's Grocery.
Linwalls Hotel, Weiskoff's Hotel and
Morrison's Hotel
The only loss of life, so far as can now
be ascertained, is Mrs Phillips, the wife
OF the proprietor of the Seaside Museum,
and her 6-year-old daughter. This was
the building in which the fire originated,
and so suddenly did the flames spread |
that before the woman could escape. all .
exits were cut off.
The woman appeared at the window for
a minute, while the flames surrounded |
her on all sides Firemen shouted for her
TO Jump, but she refused, and fell back
into the flames. Several of the frenen
were injured more or less seriously. They
were attended by several physicians who
had come here to lend their aid
The loss is estimated all the way from
S5OOO 600 to $1,000, 600, but conservative
estimates place the sum at about
81, 200, 600.

NEW YORK, Sep. 21.-Such of the -Four
Hundred as have returned to this city.
or are still lettering at their Newport
villas, are profoundly stirred by the re-
port that Mrs Hayward Hall McAllister.
daughter-in law of the diplomatic leader
OF society had come North with the in
IGNITION OF securing a divorce from her
husband.
Young McAllister caused great deal
OF excitement early in the year by tn
publication Of his marriage to handsome
Alss Jennie Garmany of Savannah, Ga.
Hayward's father objected to the mar
riage on the ground that the young man
had no income with which to support n
WIFE The young woman's brothers,
VINO are well known in New York city,
took hand in the affair, and in a very
short time everything was arranged
amicably.
Park Commissioner Albert Gallup of
New York and Francis B. Peckham of
Newport are Mr.. McAllister's counsel.
while Lawyer Theodore Steele of New
York, has been retained by his wife.
Friends of the couple are pretty well
satisfied that a divorce will be applied
lor IN a snort time. If this step is taken
Mrs. McAllister VIII in all probability
take the initiative, as McAllister calls at
tentlon to the fact that the present
trouble is not of his making.
AT the same time he expresses the
opinion that his wife has been badly ad-
vised.
Mr.. Frank Garmany Of New York had
received no word from his sister saving
that she proposed to secure divorce, and
said that he knew absolutely nothing of
the latest development.
Hayward Hall McAllister was married
twice to Miss Garmany. The first cere-
mony was performed in 1884 and the
second on Aug. %, 1887 McAllister was
young fellow when he met Miss Gar
many in 1884
A short courtship was followed by
marriage, which they decided to keep
secret, as the young man was afraid he
would be disinheriUed by his uncle, from
whom he expected fortune.
This all happened in Savannah. AS
Miss Garmany grew old she became very
beautiful and had many suitors, but. of
course, rejected them as as fast as they
came, while her husband occupied the
position OF man constantly hearing that
ms wife was engaged to be married to
some other man. This led him in May
last TO make the marriage public.
