Her stem was twisted, and great gaping Boles had been torn in her bow. Ther,: was one almiuet at the -water tine, and another a few feat above. Only her water -tight compartments kept her from sinking. The French vessel left Glasgow 120 days ago, bound for this port. She Was in ballast and consigned reit Fred- erlck Henry. Her captain lied little to say regarding the disaster, except that' Ids vessel was closely follow- ing the rules of the road. when the steamer came under the bows Of his barque. EI& detelared that the lights orf the Miax were property burn- ing and displayed and. teat the men of his crew saw the steamer fon a long time before the collision. He mid: "We could think of no reason wliy the men on the ereeamer did nott- see us, and as the vessels approach- ed we became anxious. Then it was too late. The steamer had tried to cross our bogs, but had. failed. Just before the crash came the steamer swung slightly to pont as though an effort was being made to pass to our stern, but the( change) Dane too late. The barque struck the steamer almost amelsltips on the port side. For a moment they hung together and then drifted apart. Our vessel was so, badly damaged we thought she would sink, and under the circumstances we had all 'we could do to take care of ourselves. By daylight we had beaten, well out to- ward the sea and were safe from the breakers, but our .vessel was tot u, great measure unmanageable. On Saturday morning we accepted a tone from the steamer Acme which lister was aided by the cutter Mc- Culloch." SHE, RISKS A FORTUNE. Miss McComb Weds Man of. Her Choice, WILL NOT. STARVE ANYWAY, Now York, Jan. 6.—With only two ;friends as witnesses, Louis E. Herzog, of Philadelphia, and bliss Fanny Rayne 1VIcComb, of .Dobbs Ferry, were married by the 11ev. Henry C. Van' Dyke in the Brick Church, in Fifth avenue, at Half -past three o'clock yesterday altos -neon,. By this marriage the bride may forfeit a one-fourth interest in the estate of her father. The estate is estimated at 415,000,QUd. It will re• main for the courts to deet le whether the clause in thrA wili cutting liar oil with an annuity of $15,000 shoulu she marry Mr. Herzog is to stand. The tnarrlage, which Was the eul- mination of a most complicated courtship, was as simple us it could be made. It was said on good authority yes- terday that a bui,L 1:o teee the valid- ity of the will will be begun as soon as the necessary legal steps can .be taken, now that blies McComb has married the man of her -choice. `" One of Mr. Ilerzog's intimate friends said yesterday that the bride- groom was opposed to attacking the will, except as a matter of justice to: his wife, and would 'be only too glad to escape any further notbriety as a victim of an "incongruous mieturo of sentiment and snobbery." It is the plan of Mrs. Herzog to 'sue the estate for the full sltaro to which she was entitled before the marriage, ,basing her contention on tho alleged invalidity of. the oodieil designed to prevent the marriage. If Iter claim Is sustained, it is intimated her sli.Lre of the fortune will amount, to more than $`2;000,OJ0. In reaching her decison to -marry the artiet Miss McComb disregarded the wishes of her living relatives as Well as the expressed intention of her father, and they stili wero trying to diesuade her from the 'step when she decided to wallah" the Brick Church with Louis Herzog.

Attorney J. N. Seeig of Spring. CLeld, who acted for Mrs. Watts when she secured lier divorce, told how 11 was obtained. It was the intention, be said, to ask for the divorce on the ground of infidelity, but- as this would reflect on the child it was do• Diced to simply charge extreme cruel. ty. It Was; arranged between the parties, be said, that no defence was to be made, and titers was also an understanding with the court. Mrs. Watte and her sister, the attorney satrl, swore to enough 'lb secure the divorce when it was not contested, although ho adm3,tted it was alto- gether improbable it could have been secured if a defence had been made. 'Wo often do that sort of thing in our .courts,'. sated Sneig. "Wo fix things up beforehand. Why, I even knew what fee the court was going to allow me." Joseph M. Grout, the attorney who acted for Watts, cor• roborated Snotg's evidence. "Well, that certainly is the most remarkable condition of alfa:.. s 1 ever heard of," commented the Magic• trate.

Ri Roundhouse at Owen Sound Demolished, ONE MAN DIES OF HIS BURNS, Owen Sound,..Ont., Jan. 3.—With a detonations that was heard for miles, an acetylene gas generator: at the Canadian Pacific roundhouse explod- ed to -night, causing tate death of one victim and injuring another. For blocks in the C. P. It. district win- dows were shattered by the expiate sten, nearly every pane in the front of the Pacific Hotel, a block away, being destroyed. The ,-tory of the explosion is as follows: At seven o'clock, engine No. 599 entered the yards, and the engineer, entering the roundliouse, asked for more bgl>!t. A young man named Alex. Bennett said that he did not understand the geuerator, and Thomas Gordon, an employee of the mechaneetu'department, tuld him to go over and he would show him haw to operate the valve. After Gordon 1Lau explaineii the working el the generator, Bennett left i>i.m, and walked out of the roundhouse as far a,s the turn -table, whole a terrific explosion took plaoo. Bricks were hurled high in the air, and the wood- work was shattered and the earth and buildings tor blocks around rook- ed with alae force of the explosion. A flying pleco of boaeel struck young Bonnett; rnflieiing injuries which are not considered dangerous. E,o,ttutt' £err•tlrly „urned. Fearing a second explosion; it was several minutes before anyone dared to venture into the wrecked round- house. A party finally groped through the piled -up debris, and found Gordon lying in u pile of wreckage with els clothes torn from his body, which wee burned about the legs and abdo- meu in the most frightful )canner, An alarm of fire had been sent in from Mot 34, and the brigade responded, promptle subduing the flames in the wreckage. Gordon was carried into the C.P.R. bunk -house which adjoins the round- house, and five doctors worked over the unfertunato man, but without avttll. He died at nine o'clock. Royal '1 rater Damaged. A feature of the explosion is the fact that the Royal train, which was standing on the trucks only a short distance from the gas generator, suf- fered considerable damage. Nearly all the large plate -glass windows in the oar "lurk," were shattered, and several lights In the oar "Cornwall" were also broken. With Agent Coran, ri correspondent inspected the train '1101 found that little damage had been done to the interior. The generator which exploded was part of a lighting system installed in the various departinentseof the C.P.R. at this point last June. This Was the first accident connected with it.
