Such achievements as these during a period of general financial depres-

The growth of no financial institution il. the world car equal this. The
company shows an increase n assets of over s16 100000 during the financial
panic of 1894. Every dollar of the Equftable's assets belongs to its policy
holders, of whom all get their share of interest and dividends. The Equt-
able has the largest amount of insurance in force, writes the largest annual
business and has a larger amount o surplus than any other company in the
world. They also placed more business sin udrafn County last year than the
combined amounts of all other companies. The payments Of death claims,
endowments, annuties, etc, aggregate S19,4 73,S52s7, which represents the
savings of many thousands of prudent people, multiplied in the hands of the
company and repaid to the insured and their heirs. They also rejected over
$780, 900 900 of insurance applied for and which the company did not consider
desirable risks. This goes to show that its management h conservative and
only issues policies OF first class risks. Truly the greatest company is the
company that does the most good and the Equitable Life answers that descrp-
ton. For information life insurance, terms of the various policies, rates,

BUILDING PARTLY OOLLAPSBS.
Eighth Floor Gru...s Through and
Kills Many People.

NEW YORK, Aug. s, 1895.-At eleven
O'Clock today two floors of the new
building at the corner of West Third
street and West Broadway collapsed
carrying down all the workmen en-
ployed on them, and resulting in the
killing of several and woundng of many
others.
Park Policeman James Livingston saw
the accident from his station in Wash
ington Park and ran to the rescue.
While engaged in assisting some of the
wounded from the debris, he fell into
the cellar and was badly hurt. 1t is
feared his back was broken. Ambu-
lances came to the scene from all the
downtown hospitals and as fast as the
wounded We're removed from the build
ing, they were taken away.
The first removed was the body of
John Burke. plasterer who lived in
Brooklyn. The feet of four other men
could be seen by the rescuers
The wounded who have been recovered
are: James Kenny, William Fox and
Charles Smith. The missing supposed to
be in the rims are: Jack Murphy. Charles
O'Rourke, Michael O'Hara. all of Brook
lyn, and several Italians.
There We're u men employed in the
build, which is being erected i5s by Con- m
by John ireland. 1t is said that an
eighth story was added to the building
The building, which partially collapsed,
was originally intended for a seven story
fire proof mercantile building, but as
it neared completion it was decided to
add an eighth story to it. The build
ing is a massive one, with steel beams
and uprights.. The sides, and back are
of stone and brick. The builder is John
H. Parker the architect, Charles A.
Behrens. The added weight OF the eighth
story is believed to have been too much
for the uprishts. The central portion
fell with a crash, carrying roof, up
rights and beams through the entire
structure. The walls are still standing.
1t is thought that a dozen workmen are
in the debris. One, a laborer, named
Burke, who resided in Brooklyn, has
just been taken out dead. Four others
have been sent to Bellevue and New
York HOSPITALS.

DEFENDER VS.. JUBILEE
Light Wind and Heavy Sea for
the Newport Races Johnny
Bulls Racing Craft.

BRENTON'S POINT, Aug. g. 1S95.-An
attempt at racing after the disbandment
of the New York Yacht Club fleet re-
suits in a great amount of uncertainty.
Today's race for the Newport cups is
no exception and while there were some
ten yachts entered there was last night
no show of a very startling event, and
it was even questioned what would
show up for the start this morning.
The fleet in the harbor hauled their
sails alift early in the morning not as a
preparation for the race but to dry the
sails since the heavy rain Of yester-
day had thoroughly wet them through.
A visit to the committee boat at $3.50
the time set for the start, found no one
there, and it did not appear as if she
would carry large crowd. AS the fleet
put out of the harbor they at once
sighted the North Atlantic Squadron.
There was a light breeze from the
southwest, and a heavy roll on, when
the big yachts, Defender and Jubilee,
the principal contestants in todays race,
put out for the starting point.
At 1920 o'clock the yachts Were work.
ing out toward the lightship. The De-
fender led the Jubilee out. The commit
tee tug Winsiow was lying off the light
ship, having come to anchor.
The third, fourth, and fifth class sloops
were to run over the course but once.
At II o'clock but half dozen steam
yachts were out and the rest of the
fleet did not number over thirty sail
The sight off shore was hardly that of
a racing day. Signals were set for the
sailing of the leg toward Point Judith
first, giving seven mile thresh to the
windward as on Tuesday.
At 11;15 the preparatory signal was
blown frcrn the committee boat.
At 11:25 the starting signal was sound
ed, but not a single craft was within
five minutes of the line.
At 11:S1 the Emerald crossed the line.
At 1:31:45 the Marguerite crossed the
lire. Both boats stood off on the star
board tack, the breeze freshening.
/, At 1929 the Defender turned the first
mark, the Jubilee turning at 12:42.
Neither of the boats had SET their ba1-
con topsails. Both still had up No. 2
jbtopsails The Emerald and Marguer-
ite both turned for the stake boat in
turning, but the mist was too thick to
take their times
AT 1:1S:10 Defender rounded the second
mark and off shore stake. She started
on the reach to Brenton's Reef light
ship. Jubilee being nearly three miles
astern.
At 1.26 P. NJ the Jubilee rounded the
second mark seven and a half minutes
behind Defender Both boats set their
balloon jibtopsails.
