The New Jersey Central terminal*
was wrecked; three ferryboats in the

Manhattan, across the river, was
shaken from the street level to the
top of Ibe Singer tower; severe dam
age wa$ done in Brooklyn and Statetf
Island; and to the {migrant detention
station on Ellis Island; the shock
was felt a Amltyvllle, L. I„ thlrty-flve-
mll* s distant, and In New Jersey, at
Long Branch forty-five miles away.
The damage is so widely scattered-
that it is impossible yet to more
thun roughly estimate It, but In Man
hattan alone It is placed at $100,000;
on Ellis Island at from $10,000 to $2b,«
000, and in all, $750,000 appears to be
a fair estimate.
The lighter receiving the dynamite,
the Katherine W., owned by James
Healing of Jersey City, vanished ut

cluding the master, Edward Traver..
Alongside was the lighter Whistler,,
which was so badly shattered that

the Swedish steel Imrkcutlne Ingrid

of one man's head were found swing
