It is supposed that gun cotton exploded, although the army officers at Fort Hamilton are unable to understand why, if this is true, the entire fort was not destroyed. There were twenty-five men at work in Fort Lafayette when the ex- plosion occurred. None escaped entirely, although ten were working at points so remote from the scene of the explosion that they did not feel the force of it. They were blistered in putting out the fire that followed the explosion, and for a few moments threatened the whole establishment. STOREHOUSE FOR AMMUNITION. The ammunition stored at Fort Lafayette ts taken from warships that are sent to the Brooklyn Navy Yard, While the ammunition is there the shells are reloaded and improvements are made. At one time Fort Lafayette was considered to have a good strategic position at the entrance to the harbor, but there was not room enough on the Island to allow for extensive improvements and Fort Hamilton got the benefit of the appropriations. Fort Lafayette has fallen into decay, out- wardly, but the magazines are of the strongest fireproof construction, and to this {s probably due the fact that the accident of this afternoon was not more extensive. The fort was used as a military prison during the civil war, WOMAN ACCUSED OF FORGING CHECK Tradesman Says Mrs. Walker Got $30 on Worthless Paper from Him—She Is Arrested.

J. ‘The collision of the Golds- nd the schooner was quite a re- narkable marine happening, Some hours before the Goldsboro ap- peared on the Jersey coast the schoon- er was dismasted in the heavy gale and lay helpless in the trough of the sea. She was seen by the life-savers at Lit- tle Pge Harbor station, but the sea was so rough and the cold so intense that the men on shore could make no move toward her assistance. Just {t appeared that the schooner must go ashore and be broken when to pleces the Goldsboro camo tn aight. Signals were made from the schooner and the steamer changed her course and came in to render assistance, The heavy sea made danger In close quarters and also precluded the posal- bility of putting off a boat immediately. Nevertheless the captain of the Golds- |boro concluded to take a chance at get- tng alongside the schooner. In her disabled condition the big sall- ing vessel was bouncing around like @ beheaded ehicken, ‘here was a sudden twist Jn the gale, a succession of high waves, and before any steps could be taken to ayold It the schooner floated broadside against the prow of the Golds- boro. The crow of the schooner, seeing that collision was inevitable, stood by to boar dthe ateamer, but were thrown Into the sea when thelr vessel was cut in two. Boats were lowered from the Golds- boro and all were rescued. The Goldsboro steamed about until the captain of the schooner assured him- elf that all his men had been saved and then healed for Sandy Hook.

CHOICE INVOKES LAW ACAINST LOVER. He Deceives Her, Miss Kraft Says, and So She Would Have George F. Stein, of Steinway, Punished. LOVE LETTERS IN EVIDENCE. More than one hundred love letters were introduced as evidence to-day at the trial in the Queens County Court of George F. Stein, a wealthy young man of Steinway, L. 1., changed by Idilian F. Kraft, a beautiful heiress of ninethen, with having betrayed her under promise of marriage. Numerous letters in which Btein had used such endearing terms as "Dear, darling ducky,” were read to Judge Moore and the jury, and an engraved card announcing the engagement of the coupe was also submitted. ‘The court-room was packed with fash- fonably-dressed women, friends of Miss Kraft and Steinway, both of whom are prominent socially. Miss Kratt, a tall, graceful blond, ap- peared to feel her position keenly, Un- der cross-examination she broke down several times, interrupting the pro- ceedings with sobs. With much effort she told a story, intently Mstened to by ‘the perfumed, furbelowed audience, in which mercen- ary motives were mixed with romantic manifestations, The day of the wed- ding had been set, and she was look- ing forward to a new and happy life, she sald, when an Inoldent occurred which shattered her hopes She had told her lover that sho was to come Into a fortune. How large a fortune she was not quite sure, but she had mentioned that she believed it would at least be a million. She had been mistaken. When the settlement of an estate was effected {t was found that her share was con- siderably less than a munon, Stein's love cooled. The engagement was broken, A child was vorn. Cruei things were sald. ‘The girl suffered in silence, until she learned that Stein, too, had turned his tongue against her, Then her outraged feelings led ‘her to cause his arrest on a criminal charge.
