AN EXCITING COLLISION.
An exciting collision occurred on the Lumoe
Market yesterday afternoon at O'Clock, al'e
came very near resulting disastrousty to the yes
sells engaged in it, aud particularly SO to tht
! tug Protection, which had been put in READINGS:
| for trip to Carlton and a~stcam-pump placed
] on board for the purpose OF getting the schooner
1ronsIdes off the beach at that paint, The FRO
| lection backed out from the coal~dork, near Inc
| foot uf North Franklin street, just as tue TUG
Van Schaick came down the rlycl with the schoon
| er Lumber,nan in tow. AS the Protection neared
| the middle Of the stream and was about to cross
| the Van schaick's bows, her engine stopped on
| the centre, and the last-named tug. which was
| going along rapidly at the moment, struck her
On tie port quarter, tearing away portion OF
her wearing piece anu very nearly careenin7 her
over. In an instant after the Van SchaiclS
struck the Protection the schooner bore down
on the latter and knocked her pifot-house out
snoke-s1ack. The Lumberman had her
fgure-head carried away The CAPTAIN
of the Van Schaick gave the signal
TO the engineer to shut down just before the
collision occurred, but did not attempt to re-
verse, and wisely let his boat 20 ahead. Had
he done otherwise, the result would probably
have been more SERIOUS all around. 1t 1Tas ln-
possible for the Protection to get out Of the
way, under the circumstances, but 1t is said she
board Of her at the time, Capt. J, L. Higgtc, OF
the Vessel-Owners' Towing Company, to which
both tugs belong, having temporarily taken
her in hand for the purpose Of moving her from
the north side Of the river to the loot OF Frank
lin street. The wrecked piiot-house was set in
place again and temporarily repaired. and the
damaged snoke-stack was fixed, so that the tug
WIS enabled to leave port at O'Clock last even
in. to go to the relief Of tho strnnded Ironsidcs.
Capt. William Kelley was placed in command OF
her, and Mr. Risley went along to attend to the
steam-pnmD.
The Van schaick was not injured by the
collision, having struck stem on. She was
going pretty fast, too inst for that
part OF the river, where vessels
about in all directions. The Captain of the
Lumberman was as mad as a March hare over
the occurrence, and expressed himself in terms
more forcible than elegant. he was bound out
ut the time, and was not delayed seriously by
the accident.
The collision was witnessed BY large number
OF men who were congregated about the Luln-
her Market, and for a short time caused consid-
erable excitement.
ALExIAE BROTHERS.
The report for the hospital of the Alexiau
Brothers for the year ending April 1, 1579 shows
the number Of patients treated at tile hospital
to hare been ia all 703, Of whom there paid their
respective bills 301 while the charity patients
were 402. During the same time 3,010 free pre-
scriptions for outside we're delivered. OF the
2,19 patients, 1,504 were gratuitously treated
BY the doctors Of the hospital. Since the re-
building Of The house DESTROYED BY the great
fire in 1871 some 3, 900 patients have been treated
at the hospital, and nearly &c, ,000 sick and poor
have been cared for outside the institution.
Since the income OF tile institution has not Is
yet been sufficient to cover the enormous ex-
penses necessarily arising, the Brothers have
been compelled, although reluctantly, to have
recourse to tie charity Of their many friends.
They expect no other reward for their labors
than the conviction OF having done good work.
Those who have assisted in the past, and espe-
cinly those who have been regular contributors
to the institution, will accept their most hearty
thanks; indeed, the Brothers feel themselves
deeply indebted to their many benetactors,
without whom they are not able in such hard
times to continue the work.
They are also thankful to the physicians who
have been in regular attendance for the past
year, and have given their services free for the
benefit Of their suffering brethren. They con-
f1dently hope to receive aid in the future as in
posed toward the sick and afflicted. They en-
treat our good friends especially in behalf Of
the many poor sick, whose number continues
from year to year to increase. Those who SYM
pathjze with this work of charity are requested
