The fire originated in the basement

smoke. The flames spread through the
fats on the fourth and fifth floors, and

BEAUTIFUL HOME WRECKED.
Unknown Dynamiters, Out of Re-
venge, Destroy Residence of
Banker Who Failed.

Rensselaer,, Ind, Oct 1.-THE feeling
that has been growing here since the
failure of the Mccoy bank last April
reached climax Sunday night when the
beautiful home of Thomas ]. Mccoy,
who was identified with his father in the
operations of the bank, was totally de-
stroyed by dynamite. The shock of the
explosion could be heard for miles.
Windows in residences for blocks
around were shattered and some of the
business houses suffered The Mccoy
family was not at home at the time, and
1t is believed that none of them are in
the city. The wreck of the house is COM
plete. The walls were blown outward,
precipitating the roof into the basement.
Fragments of the residence and pieces
of furniture were found hundreds of
feet away. The loss cannot be correct
ly estimated, but the residence alone is
known to have cost more than s25, 900.
1t was deliberately furnished. There is
considerable excitement In the city. No
arrests have been made.
The Mccoy bank failed last April and
the liabilities greatly exceeded the as
sets. Many families lost heavily, as the
bank was one of the best known and old
est established In this part of the state.
Thomas J. Mccoy is at present under
$40 900 bond on charges Of embezzle-
ment. The grand jury returned % in
dictments against him individually and
two jointly with his father and two
jointly with Walter NJ White, assistant
cashier. Recently the McCoys appeared
in court and petitioned for a change o.
venue, which was granted. and their
cases were set to three adjoining coun-
ties. The indictments against Mr.
White were quashed.

the president is not on a flying visit to
the city. Gen. Fred Grant is the living
image of his father. His coming to sue
coed Gen. Corbin as commander OF the
department of the east brings him to
that home of his young manhood which
he knows best of all. For Gen. Grant
has been resident Of the city, off and
on, for 30 years. II was from New York
that he was appointed minister to Aus
tria. He was for a time police commits
sioner of the city, like Roosevelt, and
with equal earnestness worked for the
regeneration of the department. His
home in New York was the narrow, deep
house on Sixty-seventh street to which
the elder Grant came from Washington
for the unhappy experience in high
finance" in which business ignorance
and knavish partner plunged him. The
present general will live on Governors
island, which was never his fathers
home; in the quiet commanders quar-
tiers where amidst the sea traffic of all
the world calm as II Of closter is per-
petual. The appearance Of calm is de-
ceptive II it were to indicate drowsiness.
The department includes great num-
Der of big harbor forts; those of New
York particularly are upon a scale little
realized by people who pass them every
day unthinking.
OF the great change made by modern
ordnance Gen. Grant will have re-
minder in so great cannon lying upon a
dock of the little island, almost in sight
of his house. They cost $10,00c,000 in
the time of his father; now they are not
worth ten,cents. Not even for old iron

derstand, even junk dealers DO not want

handle; perhaps the composition Of the
metal-huge rifled cannon OF the old

new rifled cannon that from unobtrusive
| pits in the sand guard the port are all OF
the modern type, firing at 12-mile
range pointed projectile that would
pierce If fairly hit the armor of any ship
likely to wander this way. There has
been great, though well-concealed
change in the defenses OF New York
since the Spanish war. Before that time
visitors wandered at will about the
forts Now Uncle Sam doesn't care
about company. And the work goes on.

Episcopal House of Deputies Rejects
Proposed Change in Divorce
Canon.

Boston, Oct. 15.-The house of depu-
ties of the Episcopal general conven-
ton. at the close of a four days de-
bate. on Friday rejected an amend
ment to the divorce canon, which
sought to prevent the remarriage of
divorced persons by clergymen of the
denomination. While the house of
bishops may yet act on the matter, 1t
is certain that no change will be made
by the present convention.
The present law of the church,
which has been in operation since 1859,
allows the remarriage of the innocent
party to a divorce granted for infidel-
ity.

WRECKED IN FURIOUS GALE
Schooner Elwood Burton Goes to Pieces
on Massachusetts, Bar and Four
Persons Perish.

Highland Light, Mass, Oct. 17.-In
furious northeast gale the schooner FL
wood Burton, Capt. Williams. struck on
Peaked Hill bar during Friday night
and the captain and three of the crew
persisted. The mate and two other sea-
men were rescued from floating wreck
age by the crew Of the Peaked Hill life
saving station. Although the life-sav-
ers were quickly on the scene, so rapid
was the destruction Of the vessel they
could do nothing more than pick up the
survivors clinging to wrcckase. Later
two bodies washed ashore. The gale
which the schooner encountered was
practically the same In which the
schooner Wentworth was wrecked
Thursday night at Chatham and many
drowned.
