constable told her Mr.. Darling was acting
under written instructions from Mr.. Collier.
and she must not interfere.
The men took away a COW and calf, two
horses, some pigs and some poultry which
they have put up in barn in the village.
Mrs. Collier, except for the formal pro-
test made no resistance. She said her
husband was doing this simply to annoy
her. She said she would not get q divorce,
and that her husband could not. Later

lived in East 123d street.
The Delpha was making for City Island
when the fire started. First came an e1-
plosion that could be heard on both sides
Of the Sound, and in a moment the craft
was enveloped in flame. McClatchey and
hia three friends ran to the stern to get into
the small boat. They Upset 1t and all
four went under. When they came up
Rivet was missing. The three that re-
manned held on to the upturned boat and
kept it as far away from the Delpha as they
could.
Boats from both sides put Of to rescue
the men. A launch owned by Capt. Peter
Hanson Of 1892 Whiting street. Jersey City,
was the first to reach them Capt. Hanson

Joseph Mass OF sl2 East Seventy ninth
street and Philip Brine of 24l4 First
avenue, workmen employed in tearing
down the Plaza Hotel at Fifty-ninth street
and Fifth avenue, were busy on the side
wall Of room on the sixth floor yesterday
afternoon, when the ceiling fell in, burying
both.
Brine escaped with some bad bruises.
but Mass had fractured left ankle and
dislocated shoulder. DR.. Friar of Flower
Hospital attended the men on the sidewalk
after they had been removed from the
building. While he was dressing their
wounds. Michael McCarty OF IS Oliver
street. who was working on a scaffold on
the sixth floor. leaned too far out in trying
to see what was going on. He fell the
whole six stories almost on top Of the doc
tor and the wounded men.
McCarty wasn't killed outright. but
severe commissions OF the head and bad
internal injuries leave him small chance
Of recovery. The three men were carried
to the hospital in the ambulance which had
come for the first two.

but they fear that on account Of the In
tricacy OF the building and the speed with
which the flames leaped to points some
persons may have been overtaken before
they could get clear away.
An immense crowd gathered on the New
York shore opposite Hobok en- to watch
the fire. The crowd was 40 large and in
cfeasing 30 rapidly that the reserves Of
several OF the downtown precincts were
called out at II P. M. Twenty-Five police
men were sent to tho foot OF Christopher
street.
The fire, though one Of the fercest that
have taken place in these parts in recent
times while it lasted, was Of very short
duration. 1t was practically under con-
troll In 45 minutes.
As the police started to tabulate the re-
suits they ascertained. that the lower portion
OF the ferryhouse with its slips was totally
destroyed. The railway station Is a black
ened ruin, and only few charred beams
show where the old trainshed stood.
In addition, the new immigrant station
south Of the depot, which had been built
at cost of 1000, and which was only
opened last week, is absolutely destroyed.
The old Duke House, which has Of late
years been conducted by Martin Daab, Jr.,
Is a blackened ruin.
Three ferryboats caught fire. In fact
the police believe hat the fire originated on
board the Hopatcong. This boat and the
Montclair, which also caught fire, reached
the slips Of the company at the foot Of
Twenty second street with the fire on board
extinguished. The Binghamton the third
boat afire, was a new bat and one Of the
wiftest on the river.
The piers Of the steamship companies
north Of the ferry house were the scene Of
the terrific fire which broke out on June &c.
1900, and lasted several days. In which three
steamships were destroyed. many lives lost
under the most distressing circumstances,
and several million dollars worth Of property
ahoat and ashore destroyed.
These piers have since been rebuilt with
the nearest approach to freproof oon-
struction that the nature Of the case per-
mitted, and at enormous expense. The
work upon them has been completed less
than O year.

PANAMA. Aug. Judge Magoon this
afternoon presented his credentials AZ
Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Pleni-
potentiary to the Republic Of Panama, when
an official reception occurred. He said in
part:
MR.. PRESIDENT: The people Of the
United States are gatified that the republic
for which they stand sponsors before the
world has 80 soon justified it's establish
ment and INDICATED its right to member
ship in the family Of nations. With the
exception Of the American flag, there is no
flag upon which the United States looks
with such pride and favor as the flag Of
Panama. The prompt recognition by the
United States was largely instrumental in
establishing the sovereignty the flag repre-
sents, and in a measure devolves upon the
United States the duty Of protecting it If it
Is assailed by foes within or without.
-The construction Of the canal has brought
the two peoples together. Evidences ac-
cumulate that kindly consideration has
rpened into enduring friendship. 1t needs
not the gift Of prophecy to say that the
canal will not only unite two oceans, but
two nations. each preserving its identity,
yet both identified with the achievement
we wish the canal to be completed
during the administrations Of Presidents
Roosevelt and Amador II that is impossi-
BILE, we can hope that the work Of deciding
upon the type OF the canal selecting plans.
completing the organization and perfecting
the system will be completed within that
period When the enterprise reaches that
stage Of development real victory will
have been achieved and the canal will be
an assured fact"
Foreign Minister Guarda replied. He
said that the remarks Of Mr.. Magoon were
a stimulus to Panama to continue in the
path of progress and peace, with the as
Of President Roosevelt. Panama,
he added was making every effort to justify
her independence and merit the apprecia-
ton Of the world. The certainty that the
canal will be fact il rooted In the minds
of every Isthmian none having the slightest
doubt of the Incompatible pushing power
OF the United States, whose most classic
exponent, Mr.. Roosevelt, rules the des-
TIMES OF the United States and whose
eminence reaches all parts
Of the globe.
Senior Gusrdia referred also to the har-
monious relations inaugurated by Secretary
Of War Taft, which since have been further
cemented by Mr.. Magoon. He said that
these relations will exercise legitimate
Influence on Latin America.
