THE PEQU0T DAMAGED.
In New York Harbor Last Evening
She Struck Floats,

The ill-starred freight steamer Peauot
of the PROVIDENCE line, Captain Racket
In command. was again in collision, this
time with float in New York harbor
late yesterday afternoon while on her
way to this port.
She was on her way down the East
River, which was filled with shipping
when several tugs with floats in tow were
encountered. One tug with q car float on
either side was approaching her OH the
starboard quarter, while anot her was on
the port bow, headed for a point beyond.
The usual signals were exchanged with
ont, however, averting the collision
One of the car floats crashed into her
starboard side. nearly opposite the wheel
house, and scraped along forward to the
bow, crushing in and carrying away
about 25 feet Of the guards and stanchions
abafL the hawse pipes. In getting clear
Of the first float the other float bore
down from the port side and struck the
Pequot full on the stem, several feet
above the water line, making gaping
wound and breaking the stem iron.
No seams were started fortunately and
no leaks were found when the hold was
sounded, so Capt. Racket continued his
trip to this city.
II will be remembered that last year the
Pequot was on fire at her docs in this
city and was badly damaged. Several
months later she went ashore in a fog aud
was gotten off not without great difficulty
and WITHIN n few months she coiiided
with heavily laden car float in New
York harbor.
A combination of unfortuitous circum.
stances seems to have followed the Pc
quot since she was placed on this line. A
large force Of men were set at work this
morning on the arrival Of the steamer
here aud they are now removing the
broken tim bers and will have her In
ship shape" again before sue sails.

feet in height and of the same width and
thickness AS the sample box. II will hold
about 1000 ballots and registers every
ballot inserted,

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1.

In regard to the New York and New
England Mr.. Mcleod says: "Of course the
main feature is the alliance between the
Boston and Maine and the Reading, but
as the New York and New England will
necessarily be used as connection be-
tween them with great advantage for a
considerable portion of the traffic,
" Friends and others of the Reading
have deemed it best to acquire a large in
terest in the stock Of that company"

were present with Mrs. Harris and her
son Albert at Undertaken Hoska's parlors.
and bestowed the most thoughtful and
helpful kindness. The widow seemed
overwhelmed with grief Her son was
also greatly affected. The coffins were
similar, the one containing the remains of
Miss Harris being strewn with numerous
floral offerings. Not sprig or bud was
placed on the fathers casket. Finally the
absence Of flowers on the dead mans coffin
became so noticeable in contrast with
those heaped on Etta's bier that two
bouquets were taken from the beautiful
offerings on hers and placed upon his
casket.
ID. Kaufman, of Seattle; Mr.. Blum, Mr..
Robinson and Mr.. Rogers, of Tacoma,
were the pall-bearers. They placed the
casket containing the remains of the murd-
cred young woman in white hearse and
that containing the remains of the father
in black one. AT the cemetery the I'M
fortunate, sad circumstances became even
more trying for Mrs. Harris. The wishes
of those who thought it an indignity to
the memory of the dead girl to bury her
in the same grave with her father. as he
requested, was respected and they were
buried in separate graves. There being no
rabbi OF official of any order present there
was no one to lead in the last ceremony of
burial rites. Harris coffin was first low
cred into the outer covering at the bottom
of one grave. Mrs. Harris, supported by
friends. deposited a few handsful Of earth
upon the lid. and then several of her
friends did likewise. Mrs. Harris seemed
moved beyond expression. Then the
casket containing Etta's remains were
lowered, and the last scene in the awful
tragedy was over.
