The insanity of John Collins, for
whom the police were hunting last
night took the form of a bloodthirsty
mania this morning and as a result of
his murderous activity himself and two
other men are in the Queens hospital
Collins probably fatally wounded and
both the others seriously hurt. The
maniac was shot down after a most
sensational fight with him, two bullets
from a revolver in the hands of Harry
Glass finally putting an end to his
efforts to kill both Harry and David
Glass
Collins called at the Makik fire sta
tion at about half past five this morn
ing, and asked for some coffee. AS a
former employee of the department, he
was well known, and Ben Foster the
cook, who was the only person out at
such an early hour, readily gave him
some coffee and breakfast. Though it
was known that Collins had been act
ing strangely there was no thought
that his mental arrangement was like
ly to take the form of homicidal mania.
Collins carried a hatchet with him
when he entered the fire station. He
was dressed in clothes which ne had
secured from an acquaintance in Ma
kilIi, after coming ashore from the
steamer w. C. Hall and leaving his
clothes behind. When he sat down to
drink the coffee given him he placed
the Matched on the floor under the
table The cook left the room while
Collins sat apparently quietly enjoying
the coffee and when Foster returned it
was to find Collins a murderous maniac
Collins struck Foster a frightful blow
on the temple, with the blade of the
hatchet 1t cut into the flesh and bone
and literally cut and knocked an eye
out. What happened Immediately af-
ter no one knows A driver of a milk
wagon soon arrived at the station and
seeing Collins with the bloody hatchet
in his hands asked him what he was
doing with it.
II have just done up one -" was
the answer, land l would just as leave
do up another"
The insane man started for the milk
man and the latter fled with Collins
after him, leaving Foster lying where
he had fallen when struck by Collins.
Foster managed to arouse the other
fireman at the station, crawling to
their rooms, and he was at once sent
to the hospital for treatment. His
wound will leave a scar for life and
cost him an eye but will probably not
prove fatal
Failing to catch the second man he
started after, Collins went to Beretania
street and entered the Glass home at
the corner of Beretania and PiikOi. He
broke a glass door in getting into the
house and once there he attacked the
first inmates he saw Henry and
David Glass We're there and both were
severely injured before the insane man

NIPPON's ROUGH EXPERIENCE,

The Nippon Maru experienced ex-
ecptionally rough weather on her trip
from Yokohama to this port. Heavy
seas boarded the vessel. Two compan-
ion ladders were carried away. A por-
ton of the deck cargo was swept over
board and the forward galley pipe was
broken. Captain Greene's cabin on the
upper deck was flooded by one unusu-
ally heavy sea. The Nippon will not
arrive at San Francisco until the morn
ing of February 21, a day behind the
time she is expected. She is discharg-
ing $50 tons of freight at this port. She

that the Discovery, which left Lyttel-

now be said to own three historic
homes in England town house in
London on Carlton House terrace,
which formerly belonged TO the earl of
Granville; Cliveden on the Thames,
and his most recent acquisition, Hever
castle, one of the most famous castles
in all England.
Cliveden, the country seat Of Astor,
cost him more than $1,000,000. For
that sum he expected to buy more than
the estate-he hoped that some of the
renown and social standing of its for
mer owners would go with the house
and grounds. The present mansion at
Cliveden dates back only to 1880, but
it is but a reproduction of the one
built by the duke of Buckingham dur
ing the reign of Charles H., which was
destroyed by fire at the end of the
eighteenth century. In the old man
sion there resided no less character
than Frederick, prince of Wales, the
father of George III, and many other
men noted in English history. Around
it clusters many interesting incidents
in English history, and there for the
first time, on August /, 1740, Britain's
national song, "Rule Britannia" was
first rendered. The English people
rather resented the purchase of the
famous estate by Astor, and for time
it was considered more of bar than a
help in achieving the social success
dreamed of by the family.
Hever castle, Astor's latest purchase,
for which he paid close to 100000
only, is one of the most ancient in
England. In it is supposed to be the
birthplace of the unhappy Queen Anne,
second of the six wives of Henry WILL.
and was her home for a number of
years. The story of Anne Boleyn is so
intimately connected with this old cas-
tie that the history of her life is but
the history of the castle while she
lived. Here she is supposed to have
been born in 1907, and here she lived I'M
til she was seven years of age, when
she was sent to France to the court of
Lewis XII. When she returned again

part of the supplies being bad, the of

geographical discovery made by the

Cook in 1878, when he succeeded in

minutes, a record which was not

James Ross penetrated TO latitude
1910. and this remained the highest
southern point ever reached until
1900, when Borchgrevink pushed his
way to latitude 1910. and constituted
another record. which has now been
broken by Commander Scott. who sue.
