STEAMSHIP COLLISION OFF
HALIFAX.
The yiddrIngton, from New Or
lesnss Badly Damaged-She is
Aground at the Rharf--COndItfOn
Of the CargO-The COllidiDg SteaIn-
err Gamma not Seriously Damaged.

HALIFAX, January 25.-The steamer Wild
driDgton, from New Orleans for Hamburg,
which arrived here on Sunday morning, was
proceeding to sea yesterday morning, and
when off Georges Island was run into by
the steamer Gamma, which was just coming
in from New York. The statements
by those on board both vessels are
very clear, ard the accident seems
to have been the result OF mistaken
signals. The Gamma was steaming very
slo sly, and consequently could not answer
her helm quickly. The WiddriDgton ap-
peared to be under pretty good head of
steam and was crossing the formers track,
heading toward her. As soon as this
was perceived the Gamma reversed her en-
glnes under full speed aud ported her helm,
but before she could lose her headway she
ran into the WiddriDgton. The Gamma
had her stern twisted and few bo Splates
started, bat beyond this sustained no very
serious damage. The Widdrington run In
to the gas wharf with a crash that might
have been heard half a-mile off. She was
found with her bow two or three yards into
the wharf and apparently sinking her stern.
The vessel has settled aground her entire
length. As the tide has still two hours or
more to rise, she viii probably be covered
at high water. All perishable fixtures in
the cabin and elsewhere are Of course seri-
ously damaged, but tie full extent of
damages to the vessel It was i'm
possible to ascertain. Lighters were
sent for to save what was possible.
The cargo was loaded at New Orleans,
and consists of 65, 600 bushels Indian corn,
1900 bushels of which are in bags, and the
balance in bulk, and 754 bales cotton. AS
the vessel is full of water the corn will
be totally damaged. The cotton is the
most valuable part of the cargo, being
worth about so per bale.

was some distance away, and Is totally
ignoEsnt as to the Identity of the party who
discharged It. Fell, however, varies In his
statements as ~ his whereabouts at the time
discfedit upon his story. Ii IS possible, barely
possible. that the prisoner Is not guilty Of the
awful crime Of which hs stands indicted but
circumStantiRl evidence brands him the muir
derer HIS previous record as desperate
counts against him; he was evading arrest
had sworn thst he would never be taken elive
and has been hiding in the forests and swamps
ever since the night OF the murder. If he was
innocent or the crime he would not have
eVaded arrest and investigation"
Says the Oeala Banner: ssThe PeninsuIar
ksIifoad IS sill making It's approach nearer
st work on the read led and at least as many
more are engaged in getting out ties, while
others are laying down the iron. The grade is
nearly completed. and three or four miles of
ties have been delivered. Captain Agnew, who
has he contract for grading and who ia noted
for his fine judgment, says the road will reach
Ocaia early in March and he advises US TO urge
our farmers 70 begin planting vegetables for
early shipment. Persons along the Transit
road. who nave planted vegetables have gene
small fortunes We have advantages over
the shippers along the Transit road and St
John S river, because our lands are more eleva-
ted, our soil richer, and our temperature lust
a little wsTmer. The severe winter will re-
tard the growth OF vegetables in the States
north of us, and II our farmers take advau-
tage OF the opportunities that are now offered
them, we not see why they may not have q
bonanza in their keeping. Our advice is to
plant vegetables, and IL the road does not
reach Ocala by the time specified, thereby
causing growers to haul eight or ten miles, we
believe even then more money can be made on
vegetables than on any other crop. The mat
ter at least deserves consideration"
