Al 2 o'clock the Constitution was head
ed back for Glen Cove under her own
sail. She carried no topsail and from
that IL was inferred that the accident
was TO the topmast.
About two miles before rounding the
first mark a sudden pun of wind struck
the Constitution and apparently carried
away her topmast. She swung around
into the wind Immediately. and those on
ehore thought her mainmast bad been
carried away. At the time OF the acct
dent the Reliance was leading her about
q quarter OF a mile.
After clearing away the wreck the Con-
s.itution headed for Huntington harbor.
Short repairs were made In the harbor

MOSES II. CROW IN INSANE WARD.
Man Who Founded Many water Companies
Said to he Pennaless.

Moses r. Crow, who came into promi-
nence when he started several water COM
panies In Westchester county dozen years
ago, was taken on Friday to Bellevue Hos
pital, from his home at Chatham, N. j.,
for examination as to his sanity. Although
he once spent money lavishly, he is now
said to be practically penniless.
Crow is now about so years old. He was
born at Elmira and began work in Penn
sylvania. Then he came to the New York
Law School and, after being graduated at
the head OF his class. began the practice OF
law. He was summoned to Mexico City
to consult with President Diaz about the
waterworks planned for the city and for
that purpose made a personal investigation
Of several European water systems.
On his return he started q water supply
company at Grand Rapids, Mich. He
later bought the old Mount Vernon Water
Company, and not long after that got in a
legal fight with Coffin 4 Stanton, who had
financed the scheme In this he came out
victorious.
To carry on his Westminster water supply
plans he got good deal Of money from
Mrs. Hotchkiss, the wife OF the gun in
ventor. II wasn't long before he got into
a legal difficulty with her. Finally his
were sold under foreclosure
and Crow lost practically all he possessed
