CoLLIsIoN wIrH THE sERvIA.
A Ferryboat strikes the Ocean Steame
ut Her Pier.


There was dense fog over New York
city and the East and Husdon rivers,
Wednesday morning. The ferryboat
Hackensack, of the HoDoken line was
crowded with passengers, composed most
ly of laooring people, when she left her
slip for Barclay street shortly after 7
o'clock, and the two pilots could not see
fifteen yards ahead. The vessel was
run at moderate speed and the whistle
blown at intervals of one minute.
For upward of twenty minutes the
boat proceeded upon what was consider
ed direct line for the lower section of
this city. Then the two hundred passen-
gers commenced to grow impatient and
anxious Suddenly the after part of the
Cunard steamer Serva and string piece
of Il huge wharf doomed up only II few
yards away. The passengers on the for
ward part of the boat saw that col
the saloons. All had not succeeded in
reaching the entrance when the Hack
ensack struck the stern of the
steamship. The force of the collision
was sufficient to throw II number of
the passengers from their feet, and
for some minutes there was panic on
board The bow Of the fcrryboat was bad
ly damaged. The Servia was lying at her
wharf at Clarkson street. The latter was
uninjured, but II panic had also ensued
among the crew, and several of them in
terror Jumped overheard. All were res
cued by their colleagues, and the deck
hands of the Hackensack, save John Mol
10y, aged 30 years, who was drowned. His
body was atterward recovered. The pilots
of the ferryboat say they had not time TO
signal the engineer to reverse the engines
before the collision occurred.

They were working a machine drill which
penetrated into an old hole where there
was cartridge supposed to have been
discharged long ago, but which exploded
with such force as to throw the drill upon
the men, crushing them to death. Since

duct commission Il few days ago adopted
resolution instructing the chief engi-
neer to make Il full examination into the
cause and report with recommendation as
to the best measures to be taken to lessen
the number of accidents in the future

THE NATIONS BLIGHT.
REPORT OF THE UTAH COMMISSION.
The AntiPolygamy Law Better In Theo-
ny Than In Practice Adherents of the
Lecherous sin will Oppose the
Government to the Last.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 3t.-The Utah com
mission have submitted to the Secretary
of the Interior their annual report upon
the proceedings of the commissioners.
They say that i'll practice no polygamist
was allowed to register or vote at the last
election, nor was any such person elected
to any Office. No name of a polygamiSt
can be found upon the registration list
and none of this class are holding Office
Nevertheless, it is true that nearly all the
officers chosen in the last and preceding
elections are MOrmons, who, while they
do not actually live in polygamy, sub
scribe to the doctrine of polygamOus
marriage as Il divine revelation. The firm
attitude of the government and faithful
execution of the law, sustained by public
sentiment have eXertPd in the past year
a REFRESHING influence upon the Mormon
people never before experienced.
1t is believed that there have been very
few pUlygamous marriages during the
present year, but it is not regarded as pru
dent to look upon this fact as indicating
anything more than a suspension of the
practice resulting from vigorous enforce
ment of the law, and not as an actual
surrender attended by u general and de
cided change of sentiment The hope has
been INDUCED that the Mormon people
would finally see their line of duty and
yield willing acquiescence TO law. but
the result .has been disappointing as
far as the leaders of the church and the
principal part of their following are con
cerned. \ declaration was often repeated
during the past wear by the chief officers
of the chulCh, that 1t is their settled de
termination to refuse obedience to law,
and to defeat all efforts from every direc
ton to put an end TO polygamy. They
who
desire to obey the law and this has con
WINGED the commission that some more de
clsire plans TO reduce the polygamOuS ele
ment, and COrrespOndingly increase that
of federal authority in the civil govern
ment Of | tain, should be presented to Con
gresS.
