A Steamer COllides With Ferry BOAt-No
Lives Lost-Narrow Escapes.
Special to the Gazette.
NEW YORK, May Is An accident
which might have proved serious dis
aster occurred at $3.50 'clook this morn
ing in the East river opposite South
ferry slip. The steamship State of
Georgia had left her pier and was proceed
ing to sea when, at the point indicated,
she encountered the ferry boat, Pacific,
which was on its way from South Brook
Ign and about to enter her slip. When
the dangerous proximity of the two ves-
sells was noticed it was too late to
avoid a collision. The big steamers bow
crashed through the guard rail of
Pacific and into the cabin in the star
board side. The ferryboGt was filed
with passengers and q panic was mar
rowly avoided. No one, fortunately,
was injured although everybody was
badly frightened. Escape was little
short of a miracle. Several ladies
tainted from terror, but were quickly
revived. The damage to the Pacific
amounts to $1,000. she was laid up for
repairs. The state of Georgia, which
was not injured, proceeded on her way
to sea.

The Greek AngliciZed.
KARPHoRASfA VS.. KARPoRAMA.
Denton Chronicle.

Denton Chronicle.
The word karpos signifies fruit - The word
Drama signifies ''vision.'' Taking karp from
karpos and placing it before Drama would give
karporama. The rule, however. says that pl
mute before rough breathing must be changed
into its cognate aspIrate. Hence, in the above
compound karp must be karph, and the proper
compound is karphorama. This by way Of
modest suggestion to the scholars of Fort Worth.
W. H. B.
Editor Gazette:
What "W. n. B.'' says about the
"pi mute before rough breathing" is
the rule and would be the law had the
man who made the word karporama
been looking for Greek compound. He
was making an English word for an
American psopie-Texas people, if you
please. Let "W. H. B.'' try to pro-
nounce, and his vocal organs will soon
indicate the difference in the pronuncla-
tion-the effort to pronounce between
the two words.
The word was coined at the instance of
and for Gen. Cameron and Maj. W. L.
Malone. When submitted the next step
or question was, what is the plural? The
answer was, this you cannot use; the
people will not adopt it. It is karpora-
mata. 'W. 81. B." doubtless knows
that dogma has taken the plural dogmas
not dogmata-as the Greek rule would
indicate.
Articulation, pronunciation is the re-
suit OF the vocal organs. Thanking
"W. h. b. for his "modest sug-
gestion, - his real scholarly criticism,
the writer still, for the purpose, holds to
KARPoRAAIA.

CISCO, TEX, May 15.-At about 9
o'clook last night an alarm Of fire was
given by shooting guns. The home OF
Hugh Corrigan on Broadway was on
fire. The flames spread with great ra-
pldity, and soon enveloped the residence
on the adjoining premises occupied by
Mr. Ed Ray and owned by J NJ. Bar
rett of Georgetown. The furniture in
the latter building was entirely saved,
and by the extraordinary efforts of citi-
zens who had collected in the early stage
of the fire, most of Mr.. Corrigan 8 fur
niture was saved. The fire was pre-
vented from spreading to neighboring
buildings. The Barrett house was valued
at $4,000 and was insured for $500. Mr..
Corrigan had no insurance and
his actual loss is between
$1,000 and $500. When first
discovered by gentleman who happened
to pc passing, flames were issuing from
the kitchen stove as If some very in
fiammabIe material in the stove was
burning. Before assistance arrived the
fire had spread to the walls and was be-
pond the control of the limited means
Cisco has for "fghting fire." AS Mr..
Corrigan's family has been away from
home for the past two weeks and there
has been no fire in the kitchen, the origin
of the fire is matter of conjecture and

The Strike.

The bufiness men of the city are be-
ginning to feel the effect of the prolonged
strike of the carpenters, builders and
planning mill men. 1t has not only de-
layed building operations, under way
when the strike commenced, but has
postponed number of important build
ing and improvement enterprises that
were in contemplation. Real estate men
and merchants are becoming fearful lest
the labor troubles will give the CITY a
backset from which it will take some
time to recover. A cessation in the
activity of the real estate market at this
time would be a serious thing, and
would, in connection with discouraging
crop reports, work great injury to this
city. A popularity of the strike is that q
large percentage of the contractors have
expressed a readiness to grant the
demands of the men, both for nine
hours and for the scale of wages asked,
but the men refuse to return TO work un-
til the planning mill owners agree to their
terms also. The contractors say they
have no power to control the planning
mill men, and thus the matter stands,
Propositions and counter-propositiou
have been made almost every day, but
SO far nothing that is satisfactory to all
parties has been agreed upon. In the
meantime the men are idle and the mer-
chants and business men are complaining
that their trade is exceedingly dull.
