At HOBOKEN

New York. Aug. s.-Inside Of thres
quarters Of an hour fire swept away
the Delaware, Lackawanna & Western
Railroad company's terminal in Hobo
ken, seized two ferry boats and prae.
tically rained them. and for half an
hour threatened the destruction Of the
entire water front in the vicinity, in.

| North German Lloyd steamship docks.
at which several big ships were lying.
The property damaged is estimated at
between 800, 900 and $500, 900.
50 lar Is known no lives were lost.
For over an hour huge tongues Of flame
leaped from the wooden structures on
the Lackawanna docks, lighting the
New Jersey and New York water
fronts. For time it threatened a loss
larger than that Of the big dock fire
several years ago when the North Ger
man Lloyd piers were destroyed with
great loss Of life.
The flames started from an unknown
cause on the old wooden ferry boat
Hopatcong, which had been tied up in
the open sea, between the Hamburg
American docks and the CHRISTOPHER
street ferry slips. Twenty minutes
after the alarm 1t looked as IL the en-
tire lower part Of Hoboken, including
the Hamburg piers would be destroyed.
The two burning ferry boats were
towed out into the stream by tugs.
The Hopateong sank later.
After few hours work the fire was
under control, the big steamship piers
had been saved, and a rough estimate
placed the damage ut $500, 900.

was built Of brick and stone, and oc-
cupied only two weeks ago, cost &7O,-

ATHENA, MARCH -. 3, 1905

The Salt Lake Herald sums up the
"Bufalo Bill" case as follows: From
the testimony in the Cody divorce case
now in progress in Cheyenne, we are
forced to conclude that Colonel Cody is
a drunken beast, too low for words,
that he is gentleman OF the highest
class, that he made the life of his wife a
perfect hell, and that he was tender
and devoted husband, kind and in
dulgent father, and general all-round
scamp, who loved his wife with all the
strength of his being, and cuffed her
around whenever the spirit moved him.
Mrs. Cody, we are given to under
stand, always acted the part OF good
and dutiful wife. She tried on several
occasions to poison her husband, she
always greeted him affectionately, drank
a great deal more than was good for her,
she was willing at all times to be recon
ciled to her husband and treated his
oyertures with scorn and contempt,
thus proving that he was the only man
in the world for her and that she loath-
ed him intensely. All these things and
more have we gathered from the highly
interesting testimony in the divorce
proceedings. The evidence is SO clear
that we do not see how the court can
hesitats for a minute. There is an
abundance of evidence to support any
decision that may be handed down.

Industrial combines in England are
not so numerous as in America, and as a
consequence the amalgsmation of the
Master Cotton Spinners' association,
which has Just been consummated, is
attracting great attention. The merger,
however, is large enough to attract
notice, even In the United States. In
fact, it is declared to be the biggest
combine of its kind in the world. Al
though already controlling nearly 3d.
100000 spindles, it will shortly be ma
terially strengthened by the addition of
nearly 1900, 900 Of spindles, many new
mills being now in course Of construc-
tion. The aggregate capital of the firms
included IN the combine is not far short
of $150,000,000, and IN some quarters it
is estimated that the total approaches
close to 5000, 100000.
