tice Morgan. last Friday Capt Hyde Of the

old quarters. She willingly consented and ac-
companied the captain 10 the boat that had
brought her 10 this city from Buffalo. The
news that she was on board spread rapidly
among the fleet Of canal boats and Capt Hyde
In honor OF the occasion. sent for beer and
liquors.
Ida Crater told her adventures for the past
few weeks. and kept her friends in continued
laughter as she set forth the interest that she
had awakened. She slept on board the canal
boat that night.
Saturday morning Capt. HYDE. on awaking
went to call Ida, but ascertained that she arose
early and had been gone several hours. He
wondered what could have induced her to leave
so suddenly and unceremon ousy He hastily
dressed himself. and then discovered that thir-
ty dollars in money and his watch and chain
were missing. He concluded that he had been
robbed by Ida Crater.
Capt Hyde is married man, and his wife is
in Buffalo. He knew that should he cause tho
girls arrest his wife would hear Of il. He
spoke Of II TO his friends. one Of whom reported
the robbery TO Capt. CARRY Of the New street
police. Saturday night Ida Crater was met by

THE SITUATION IN THE COAL MINES.
No Danger OF n General strike In the Potts
Vile and Hnxciton Regions.

PoTTsvILLE, Pa. Aug. 1.-THE Mining
on the mining situation in this region:
" At another meeting OF the knights Of Labor
OF this county. held last week. the subject OF a
general strike. which had been deter
mined upon. TO take place early
in August. was recanvasscd. The
employees Of the Philadelphia and Reading
Coal and Iron Company were almost unani-
mously opposed to n strike. They stated that
while the wages were not such as they thought
they ought to have. they had been gradu-
ally increased under tho operation OF Mr.
Gowen's plan OF making them particl-
pants in the advance OF tolls that they
were informed there would ha another advance
soon. which would bring their wages up to the
$3.50 basis. and that they had assurances Of
steady work for the balance OF the year at this
the present On a vote being taken II was
found that majority were Of this
opinion. and SO the danger of n general
strike in this region may be said TO have passed
for the present There will. no doubt. be local
strikes. as has been the case during the present
week. brought on by those who are not paid tho
same wages that are given by ths Coal and
Iron Company. Individual operators cannot
afford TO pay the same rate II wages as the com
pany at the present price OF coal for they are
not participants in the profits OF the advanced
rate of tolls. Some pay II under protest how
ever. in order TO keep peace at the mines
Others do not and strikes are the consequence
We are credibly informed that at meeting OF
Lehigh operators. held at Hazleton on Friday
night. II was determined TO pay the men on the
tent and leaves no pretext for strike in that
region"

STEAMBOATS, IN COLLISION
The Americas Receiving such Biow that
She was thought 10 be sinking.

The Rockaway excursion steamboat Amer
icus and the Fulton ferryboat Farragut were in
collision at about O'Clock last evening off jew
ellis pier. The tide was running rapidly up the
East river. and the steamboat. as usual. went up
on the New York side. and rounded to under the
bridge so as to approach her wharf on the
Brooklyn side against the tide. When she was
nearly opposite the Fulton ferry the Farragut
came out OF her slip on the Brooklyn side. and
would pass ahead OF the Americus. The pilot
Of the Americus answered with two whistles,
indicating that he agreed to that course and
caused his engines to back water as the Farra-
gut approached.
The passengers OF the Americus, however,
thronged TO the Brooklyn side. one wheel
was tipped nearly out OF the water, and
the speed of the boat was not sackencd
sufficiently TO stop her in time TO allow the
Farragut to pass. The strong tide swung
bow struck the bow of the Americus about four
feet below the guard. while both boats were
backing water. The crash carried away small
portion ofthe bow ofthe Americus. and knocked
down her flagstaff. As she slowly moved to her
pier. with her throng Of passengers. many i'm
agined that she was sinking. Prompt examina-
tion. however showed that no water was coming
into her hold. and after a slight delay she pro-
ceeded TO her remaining landings.
The throngs concentrating at Fulton ferry on
their return from excursions were with difti-
Guilty persuaded that nobody WIS hurt. They
fockod to JEWELS wharf In dismay fearful
that before the passengers OF the Amcricus
could land the boat would sink. Some of the
turn to the city by the ferry and ears. The ma
jority. however. remained on board. The Far
ragut was uninJured and the cost OF repairing
the Americus will be insignificant.

NEWPORT, Aug. 1.-THE New York Yacht
Club men have enjoyed the Dolce far niente"

the funnel-shaped entrance to the port. and
tempered agreeably the suns bright rays. In
the morning. services were held on the spacious
decks Of the pretty schooner Estelle. The
Hon. John Oakley. Assistant District Attorney
Of Kings county delivered an eloquent ex-
temporc address, and others furnished choice
choir music.
Afterward meeting OF Captains was held on

sail for New Bedford to- morrow at 9 A. VI. The
yachts will weigh anchor and rendezvous off
Brenton's Reef Lightshp. from which there

ceded by the flagship, port Will be entered. On
Tuesday there will be n sweepstake race be-
tween the bg-keel schooners Intrepid. Drend-
nought and Rambler and the postponed gig

dore Kane has initiated an agreeable change
by starting at a reasonable time OF day, instead
OF at the early hour at which the fleet was
formerly in the habit Of getting under way.
A naval cOurt-martial will probably be con-
vened at Oak Bluffs. to try charges preferred by
certain yacht captain against two of his
