"The Right. Hon. Sir Michael Herbert, Ambassador to hington from Great Britain, arrived in New York this morn- fmg on the Campania, accompanied by Ris wife and his son. He was met at the pler by his father-in-law, R. T. ‘Wilson, whose guest he will be during his stay in this city, which will last only until Monday. Sir Michael does not appear to be nearly so robust as he was in the days when he was Secretary of the British Bebassy in Washington and boxed with President Roosevelt, who was then Civil fervice Commissioner. He looks old and rather worn. His first inquiry was ‘ene concerning the President. Asked for Mr. Roosevelt. “News of the injury to President ‘Roosevelt worried me," said the Am- bassador. "I have the highest regard for him and am deeply gratified to hear that he is progressing #0 satisfactorily. I knew him well during my stay in the ‘United States from 1888 to 1893 and look forward with pleasure to a renewal of my acquaintance. “In fact, I may say that coming back to America is one of the pleasantest ex- periences of my life.

DYNAMITE SEIZED BY POLICE IN RAID, ‘Five Men Arrested Say They Used Explosive Making Bombs, but Police Think They May Be Anarchists. CROKER PROVES THEORY AT FIRE. Chief Arriving Quickly, Demonstrates Truth of His Defense in Wicke Charges. LADDER TRUCK WRECKED In responding to an alarm of fire early to-day, Hook and Ladder No. §, one of the oldest in the Department, ran into an obstruction about the subway exca- ip-| Vation at Elm and Wihite streets and the old apparatus in a second went to Pleces, much as the one-hoss shay is waid to have done, Springs, wheels, Jadders, iron rods, axes, hooks and helmets flew in all direa- tions, and from among the debris Charles C. Park, who had been steering the rear tiller wheels, was picked up unconscious. At the Hudson Street Hospital it was found that he had concussion of the brain and possibly @ fracture of the skull. The fire, which was in the five-story factory building at Nos. 142 and 14 Worth street and which did $40,000 dam- age, was fought by the firemen under the direction of Chief Croker, who was on the scene before @ line of hose had been attached. An Incident of the fire, which may be used as evidence in his behgif at hi trial, was the action of the water tower. In his trial, tt was alleged that he was Incompetent to handle the Wicke cigar factory fire because he did not call out enough engines to supply the tower with water, although he had six engines at- tached to It. Croker's defense was that there was a scarcity of water. His de- fense was corroborated to-day when two engines, which were also pumping to other lines of hose, easily supplied the water tower with all the water it could handle. There was plenty of water to- day. The first floor Heffernan Paper floor by the New was occupled by the Company, York Aluminum Com- pany, the third floor by Charles B. Read, printer, Charles Chonbach's pattern works were on the fourth floor, and B. Gottberg had metal goods on the fifth and top floors. The fire was first noticed on the second | floor and Policeman Duffy turned in an} alarm. After the arrival of Chief Croker, who came with the first en- gines, the second and third alarms were turned In. In a window of the top floor of tha the second | HARNESS LESSON BY PROF. STURGIS Daily Punch and Judy Show Opens on that Subject at Fire Head- quarters To-Day. DID-CROKER EAT THEM ? Fire Comnilssioner Stursin took « plunge into the harness-making bui ness to-day. In his efforts to oust Chief Croker he has performed many amus- ing stunts with the serious demeanor of @ trained geal, but thus far he has done nothing so funny as what he set ‘out to do this morning at the opening of the Punch and Judy show he is con- ducting at Fire Headquarters. With the able assistance of “®potted Town" Leary, his secretary, the Com- missioner took a pick and shovel and mined in the reconis of the department until he discovered that in two years Chief Croker had caused seven sets of single nd enough parts of har- ness to make four other sets to be bullt in the harness ehop. From this the Commissioner manufactured specifica- tion No. 1, In charge 5, alleging that the Chief used the department har- ness shop for his private ends. This charge and specifications were brought up at the opening of the so- called trial of Chief Croker this morn- ing, John M. Haas, a grizzled veteran, who 1s foreman in the harness shop, was called to the stand. Aasistant Cor- poration Counsel Cosby, one of Mister Rives's bright young men, an expert fire-fighter, theologian, economist, finan- cler, horse doctor, cook, bottle-washer, tallor, hose founder, engine polisher, nozzle grinder, pressure gauger, vacuum tester, author, poet, mathemat|cian and diplomatist, began the examination. He got out the harness shop books and dug up every item relating to re- pairs made for Chief Croker. He went through them ail, from bridles, tugs, straps and buckles to full sets of har- ness. After he had been raiding awhile Lawyer Delaney, who goes through the form of protecting the legal interesta of Chief Croker, objected acinls charge is the only one that re- fleets in any way on the honesty of Chief Croker,” sald Mr. Delaney, “and We degire a full and free examination, We want all the material facta b to light, ‘There Is a plaky specificagion, however, and we demand that the A sistant Corporation Counsel confine him- all around the country and the books of | ganization, and Col. | to Enlarge His Great Work | Here and Further Help the Poor. The veteran founder and leader of the Salvation Army, General William Booth, arrived In New York to-day a passenger aboard the American Hine steamebip Philadelphia. and was received amid a salvo of cheers and “amens” as he walked down the gang-plank to the pler. Hundreds of the Army's laddies and lassies in uniform grected the aged commander ‘and strove energetgally with each other for the honor of kiss- ing his hand. He appeared to be in ro- bust health. On the trip across he was accompanied by Commissioner Pollard, chancellor of the exchequer of the Salvatfon Army or- Lawley, who is the leading singer of the English forces, and who personally assists the General in all of the campaigns in which he pa ticlpates, Twenty .tugs—a footilla. of Salvation enthusiasm—laden with hundreds of the rank and file of the New York branch of the Army, met the steamship down the bay. While the General and his party were disembarking the tug flotilla hovered off the pler's end and gave him three cheers to the accompaniment of steam whistles.

COOPERSTOW®> Oct. 4—Hundreds of villagers, friends of the bride and others curious to see the wedding, gath- ered around the pleturesque church yard of Christ Church at noon to-day, as Bishop Potter and Mrs, Alfred Cor- ning Clerk passed along the gravel walk between the time-worn tomb- stones and nto the palm-encircled ves- Ubule of the church to be married. Very few were admitted, only ¢he members of the Bishop's and Mrs Clark's immediate famiMes and a few representatives of the oldest families of New York. The bride entered the church with her son, Lieut. Robert Sterling Clark, of the Ninth Infantry, United States Army, who gave her away. Mrs. Clark was attended at the altar by her niece, Miss Chaffee, as mald of honor, and Mrs. D. F. Wood: of Philadelphia, one of her clo: friends. Bride Looked Happy. The bride looked more youthful and more handsome than her age usually allows a woman, and smiled with genu- Ine happiness as sha stood beside the Bishop at the altar. She was dressed in a gown of white satin crepe de chine, trimmed with applique lace. : Her bridal dress was lovely in its simplicity and she wore no jewels, but a brooch of Gtamonds. Over her head was spread a fichu of point appilque lace, which, tn place of the customary bridal bonnet, substituted a softened aspect for the haughty dignitysof the average bride. In her arm she carried a shower bou- quet of lilies of the valley ana orenids. The ceremony was conducted by Hey. Dr. Grosvenor, rector of the Churoh of the Incarnation in New York. Rev. Dr. W. W.
