BROOKva, Oct. 2: —-The boiler of the tugboat William Horrey, lying at the Standard .\s_ halt dock at the foot of Court street, early today blew up with a terrific report. and caused the loss of one life and the injuring of two of the crew, together with the loss of the boat. John Buckley, 21, a deckhand, and his brother, Patrick Buckley, 23 years, fireman of the boat, were blown overboard by the force of the explosion, but managed to swim ashore. John received contusions of the right thigh and hip, while Patrick was severely burned and scalded about the right forearm. They were taken to the Hamilton Avenue police station, where they were attended by Ambulance Sur- geon Sterns.‘ They were afterward removed to their home, 5312 Carroll street. Alonzo Lewis, the engineer and owner of the boat, who boarded with his brother at 533 Third avenue, is missing, and is supposed to have been killed outright or blown over- board and drowned. The body has not yet been discovered, but the missing man’s gold watch was picked up on the deck of a ooalboat which lay alongside the tug before she exploded and sank. The tag sank immediately after the ex- plosion, and is supposed to be a total wreck and loss. She was valued at $4,000, and was not insured. ' The coal barge Vim, owned by Frank McWilliams, 1 Broadway, New York, loaded wih 500 tons of coal, consigned to Kelsey & Loughlin. was sunk by the force of the explosion. Efiorts will be made at once to raise both boats and ascertain the extent of the loss. Search is being made for the body of Lewis, which is thought to be in the wreck of the tug. The Buckley brothers, who were on deck when the ex- plosion occurred, say that he was below at the time, and they believe he was in the . engine room. An investigation will be begun at once by the police and coroner, to discover if possible the cause of the disaster. Ivory In Court Again.

Sun) The general outline of dress is toned down to a moderate degree of fullness us to skirts and sleeves, which is a de- cided improvement, unless we look upon the new sleeve, so nearly tight, as the inauguration of an ugly, uncom- fortable fashion. It is not here yet, however, for there is at least enough fullness at the top to suggest the abnor'~ mal structure so recently discarded: and, as old fashions are rarely ever re- vived without some modern improve- ment, there is hope for the tight sleeve, which seems so imminent. , (L9 The elaborate costume in the picture is of fine green canvass. The plain skirt is made over a bright rose-colored silk, giving it a pleasing tone. The bodice is of white chirffon, over which is draped'pink and green silk. The gathered sleeves have small pufi-s; the folded belt and the collar are of silk. The peculiar fan drapery at the shoul der is of green satin. The fur-trimmed gown is of fine blue cloth.

Wood Fibre: A new process for manufacturing paving blocks, building materials and other objects from wood fibre is re- ported to have been patented in [Swit- zerland and other countries. The fibre is first rendered antiseptic by treat- ment with vitriol, corrosive sublimate, etc., and is then mixed with a suitable agglomerant having mortar as a base. The plastic material so obtained is pressed into moulds. The objects made are light, porous and tough, bad con- ductors of sound “and heat, and can be sawed, nailed, drilled and other wise treated like wood.
