Leyland line from which the crew fed
so hastily that three were injured, was

works ablaze, The loss to the Boston

thought, bring the loss up to about
million dollars.
The adjoining pier, No, g. which was
burned last November, and which was
being rebuilt was slightly damaged,
while the steamer Dalton Hail. on the
opposite Of the pier from the Phiadel-
phian, backed outu nder her own steam

TOLD REMARKABLE STORY
Man Had Ear Cut OFF Without Know
ing It.

Charles McKenney. fifty-two years old.
who gave his address as 1881 New Ham,
shire avenue, told a remarkable story to the
police last night Of an assault committed
upon him while seated on the coping about
the Capitol grounds. While resting On the
coping near the Garfield statue, he told the
police. he fell asleep and when he awoke
he was surprised to find that more than an
inch OF the top of his left ear was missing.
Blood was squirting from the wound and
ii was hard for him to realize that so seri-
Gus an assault could have been committed
upon him without his knowing something
of 1t. The piece of his ear that had been
cut off was missing, but without stopping
TO make much of a search for 1t he COW
cred the wound with his handkerchief and
hurried to the Emergency Hospital There
he was placed upon the operating table
and the surgeons dressed his wound The
victim of the assault said he had had no
trouble with anybody and at a loss to
understand the affair. 1t Is hoped by the
police that the work was not that of some
crank who will repeat the assault upon
others. After the wound had been dressed
the victim was able to leave the hospital
and go home. He is disfgured for life.
