One of the Crew Dropped Lighted Sig nlRocket Among Remaining Rock-et Tno Deck Had to Dodge Incidents of the Rescue. Elevon of passengers, rorty-nlns of the crew, and two officers of the wrecked steamship Madiana of the New York-Bermuda service of the Quebec Line, which Vnt aground and was lost on a coral rett near' Hamilton, Bermuda, last Tues-ZY' 1n -w York on the steam-hip Pretc.rU yesterday afternoon. Every of the eleven pawners to arrive had nothing to talk about except tho wreck. lth0U8h very one of them had tome-thing to add to the stories of the other they all agreed In the main concerning- the disaster.

The principal topic, especially among tho men, was the heroism of the women pas-aenrers. According to their stories, the thirty-odd women and' girls who were aboard the Mndiana when she struck on the treacherous coral formation off the Is'orth Rock are about as brave a lot as ever a skipper transported between ocaan ports. Not a one of them, say the men. ot her nerve for a single Instant, and although they had to drop several feetfrom the lottom of the ladder that hung from tho ride of the wrecked vessel. In order to et within the lifeboats that transported them to the tug.

a little distance off. each made the descent with a smile on her face and dropped as nimbly from ladder to boat as any acrobat could have done on Jand. much less on a storm-tossed ocean. Kdv-lnr Ives of Montclair, one of the passengers who arrived yesterday, told a very complete story of the wreck. He aid that when the vessel grounded the officer jnotified the passengers of what bad happened and called them all on deck to receive and have adjusted the life pre-servers.

This was done, but hardly had the last of the passengers reached the deck when suddenly the lights went out.i The noise of the water as It rushed through tho great, jaaged hole In the Madiana's bottom could be heard plainly, he said, and that uncanny sound, together with the contusion due to the darkness, made the experience until the dawn of iay one that alll never be forgotten. The passengers ail knew, he said, that the vessel was on a reef, and many 5f them expected the ship any minute to slip off tho rock and sink beneath some thirty or forty fathoms of water. When the day finally dawned they were greatly relieved to see that the wrecked ship, owing to her position on the rocks, was In no Immediate danger of goln down.

a cat belonging to Bertrand Horoung. a real estate dealer ll1ng on Ocean Avenue. Jersey City, near the New Tork Bay Cemetery, had its tall run over by a hearse yesterday morning, and now that, appendage affects a depressing droop. In keeping with the funereal character of Its owner. Hornuog was regarding Tombstone with evident disgust ln the afternoon, wheo a witness ot the accident earlier in the day expressed regret that en such evident superiority should be condemned to wear a tail perpetually pointing around a corner.

I wish it had been Its neck that was broken." declared the real estate man with bitterness. It's the only cat I ever owned and it is the scandal of the neighborhood. That cat dotes on funerals. It would leave a mouse any time to run to the cemetery, and that is why I named It Tombstone. i a When the burial bell rings.

Tombstone stretches his neck and yowls ln a way to give you the horrors. The longer the tolling keeps tip the more mournfully he lU It out. I guess this Is the only family In the city that's glad to see the funeral procession approach, for as soon as It gets to the house Tombstone runs to meet It and exercises a general supervision over the subsequent proceedings, leaving us in peace. The more carriages and mourners there are th more he enjoys iC and he comes back here with such a self-satisfied smirk on his face when It la all over that I would like to wring his neck. I can give him away; he won't go away; and If the driver of that hear? had only made nlm fit for a funeral of hi own I have been obliged to him." BAD CHECKS TO CHURCHES.

From Robert Snelde fcr $5,000. Each, They Caused Elation and Then Disappointment. A man who Is thought "to be either a crank or a practical Joker has been fooling several Brooklyn churches by sending them worthless checks for large amounts, as New Tear's gifts." One church held a Joyful celebration, only to learn at the bank next day that the check was not good. The churches known to have been victimised In this fashion are. Plymouth.

Accompanying each of the checks was the following noie on the letter paper of the House of Parliament.

An amiable nanny goat, who displayed affection impartially for contesting claimants, complicated the proceedings yesterday before Magistrate Connorton. In Long Island City. He had been called on to decide between Frederick Buck of 60 Street and John each of whom declared the goat to be his and backed his assertion with the evidence of his family, relatives, and friends. Buck told the Magistrate that the mother of the animal In dispute, had been ln his possession for two years and that the kid had been born in his back yard. She had been reared with the tenderast care, and there was every prospect of her being the prop of his declining years whenSshe disappeared.

Nanny was finally found ln the possession of the Barber Is. It was In his back yard, not Buck's, declared Barberi. that this pearl among goats had arrived In life, to brighten the existence of all who knew her. With profound emotion he described how. when the kid mother neglected her maternal duties.

Ansa i Barberi nad brought up the neglected pet by hand. Witnesses for both sides had described the nanny with an elaboration of detail that showed an intimate acquaintance with goats. The more the Magistrate listened the more confusing the question of ownership became. Then a great light came to nlm. "Bring in the goat." he ordered.

While that was being done he explained his idea to the clerk. There's only one way to decide these animal cases, he declared. and that's to let the beast pick Us owner.

Woodbury Because of Garbage Crematory's Pro-. posed Site. Street Cleaning Commissioner Woodbury's plan for building a garbage crematory In the Borough of the Bronx brought out a vigorous protest at a public hearing held before Mayor Low yesterday. One resident of the Bronx district was more emphatic than the others, and his threats caused all the city officials to laugh. The speaker was 8.

S. Randall. "Why, Mr. Mayor, you have a fine residence up on the Sound, and 1 am sure you would not give your consent to the erection of a crematory near your home. In the South they don't go to the court over many matters, but apply lynch law.

Who knows that but some fine morning the residents of the Bronx will wake up to find Commissioner Woodbury dangling from the end of a hemp rope, if this crematory is established."

He said that one of the features pavlUon for consumptives, and that all Its usefulness would be 'ruined bv the and the lives of the patients would bo imperiled. State Senator Hawkins said that the erection of the crematory would make a plague spot of the section. Mayor Iow said that he had been Impressed with the statements made at the hearing, and said that he would favor the erection of a garbage crematory. If a situation could be found where no objection could be consistently made to Its erection. Order to Sell Orphan Asylum.

A new method of obtslnlng money from the credulous, built on the foundaUon of the goods game. was exposed yesterday by District 'Attorney Clarke of Brooklyn, during the trial of Samuel and Henry Faust. The two men are charged with having operated in the Brownsville district and on the east side of this borough.

Their plan, according to the District Attorney, was to offer to sell counterfeit money so closely resembling the genuine that the bills would pass examination by csshler; Real bills were shown as samples. of the work. The victim was invited to see the machine which struck off the counterfeits, and was taken to a room rented for the purpose. A copper box about two feet square, with a cover and a false bottom, was exhibited. The.

visitor was asked for two one-dollar bills. Faust, it is charged, took them, and after moistening' the back of one and the front of the other with what he called a secret chemical preparation, greased them In tha chemical preparation, placed them In the box under the false bottom. Resting above the falfe bottom were three genuine btUs. An electrical attached to the box was then put ln motion. When the box was opened three bills were seen lying In the bottom.

The customer secured tne good money, which he supposed to be counterfeit and was told to offer it at nearest bank. Faust ln that way. according to Mr. Clarke, found it easy to accumulate The cas Is still on. TO DIG WHERE KIDPTlVED.

Office Buildjng Will Be Erected on the Site of the Pirate's New York Residence. Public curiosity bid's fair to be aroused to an unusual degree by the excavation soon to be made on the property at the Junction of Pearl and Beaver 8treets, because on that spot, according td report, once stood the house where' lived Capt. Kldd, when he was not busy with his long. low. rakish craft." Not only will an excavation be made, but as a fifteen-story building is to be built on the site, caissons will probably be put down, so that If the late Kldd stored his treasure there, nothing ran prevent Its discovery.

In Kldd's time tife shore of the East River was between what are now Pearl and Water Streets all beyond that on the present map being made ground "and the present owners of the plot In question say that the report of Kldd's possession of It at one time Is well authenticated. The property has a somewhat more tangible bit of history connected with It In that It was the site of the old Cotton Exchange before that organisation moved to Hanover Square. The plot IS of tha now famous flatlron shape, which lends itself so readily to large improvements', and the proposed building will be a remarkable one tn regard to the amount of rentable space In proportion to the sise of the site. Owners of an ordinary rectangular comeplot are satisfied If a building can be laid out to show 04 per cent of actually rentable office space, but ln the case of this flatlron this percentage will be 72. The property Is owned Jointly by the Century Realty Company and William V.

Tho detectives arrived 'at the place about 0 o'clock. They were surprised to find that the doers of the suite of rooms occupied by the company were standing wide open, and bore printed announcements that the were for rent. Entering the premises, they found that all of the furniture of the company had been removed; not a scrap of paper remained to show what kind of business had been conducted there. From the janitor of the building they learned that about 7:.1 o'clock In the morning two large vans backed up to the building, and one of the employes of J. E.
