WILHELM DER CROSSE SAILS.
Crowds on the Pier When She Starts
for Hrcrncn.

NEW YORK. July 3.-Over 1000 persons
gathered at the Cunard Line pier, at the
foot of James Street, this morning and
shouted wishes of a pleasant voyage or
waved flags and handkerchiefs as the big
North German Lloyd steamship Kaiser
Wilhelm der Crosse backed out OF the dock
and started on her trip to Bremen. The
Crosse Kaiser" as she is affection
ately called by patriotic Germans. is one
of the most popular steamships in the
world and besides that she was the only
one of the North German Lloyd fleet on
this side of the ocean that escaped prac-
tical destruction in the fire which swept
a portion af the Hoboken water front last
Saturday In consideration Of these facts
the sailing of the German lsviathan this
was attended by one Of the largest
crowds on record. Those who comprised
il came from everywhere but principally
from Hoboken- Whole families were there
from that city. They overran the steam
ship and the pier and delayed the sailing
over half an hour. Lemonade. sandwich,
and candy stands lined one side of the pier
and the proprietors did holiday business
Those who came TO the pier expecting
to see some signs Of the recent fire about
the big steamship were disappointed. All
trace OF the damage sustained by the
Kaiser Wilhelm had been removed and the
portions Of the vessel which had been
scorched by the flames glistened with fresh
paint. Another thing which pleased Cap
tain Engelbart this morning was the re-
turn Of one Of the three men who have
been missing from the crew of the Kaiser
Wilhelm since the fire. The man who
turned up this morning was one of the
scullery hands. and he came aboard and
reported to the fourth officer as though
nothing had happened. There are now only
two men missing from the big steamships
crew, two able seamen.

TUGBoAT MEN INDIGNANT.
They Offer IA Rcwnrsi of $1,000 for
Proof of InhumnnIty.

Proof of Inhumnnity-
NEW YORK, July 3.-The tugboat men
of New York Harbor held a meeting at
the Maritime Exchange at noon today to
investigate the charges made that the tug
boat captains, in their anxiety to make
salvage, refused to save life at the big
river fire in Hoboken last Saturday. a
reward of $1,000 was offered for proof
against any captain or man that he re-
fused to save life.
Capt G. F. Morton. editor of the Ma
rine Journal presided. The tug owners
and towing companies represented included
the Dalzell Towboat Company, the Moran
Towboat Company, the New York Harbor
Tcwboat Company. the White Star Tow
ing Company, Barrett Towing Company,
Van VIE Towing Company, Eldridge Tow
ing Company, NJ. Schuyler Company,
Rogers Towboat Company. and the Mutual
Towing Company.
Nearly every man present spoke, and all
denied the truth of the published state
ments. Capt Eli 3. Cumine of the tug
boat Of the same name declared that his
property is worth $4,000. Il am ready"
he said. ito give my last shirt to convict
and punish the man who jabbed at a
drowning man calling for help with boat
hook
Captain Cumine said he had read that
story in a newspaper, but did not believe
il. If anyone did any 'jabbng with a
boathook,'' he said, he felt confident it was
in an attempt 10 save life.
In calling the meeting to order Captain
Norton said it was the first time in the
history of New York that the harbor tug
men had been accused of cowardice. They
had always and justly been regarded as
gallant life savers.
No charges against tugboat men for mis-
conduct during the river fire have reached
the office of the United States local ilspec-
tors of steam vessels. before whom sucn
matters should officially come up.

WRECKED BY FIREWORKS.
An Explosion in Philadelphia Blows
Out n store Window.

Out n store Window.
PHILADELPHIA, July with an ex-
piosion OF firecrackers and rockets the bay
window of store kept by Gerse Hanfitz at
II South Third Street was blown out
about o'clock this morning.
The cause of the explosion is not known.
Hanftz had gone to the back of the store
when his attention was attracted by an
immense racket near the window. AS he
turned he saw the whole front of the store
clouded with smoke, through which shone
the glare OF exploding fireworks.
The glass OF the bay window was shat
tered to atoms and blown into the street.
The fixings Of the store caught fire and
burned rapidly until a stream from
chemical engine was playing on them. The
fire was soon brought under control. but
not before most of the stock in the store
had been destroyed.
Mrs Hanfitz, who was lying i'll upstairs,
was so shocked by the noise and excite
ment that she tainted. The physician who
was called in pronounced her condition
critical.
The loss caused by the fire will probably
amount to $500.
