And II wants TO start your tongue

From your forehead 10 your heel,
You are ready now for action

And your sordid love for gain,

And you hear that martial strain
You have got real friendly feelings,
And with Tom and Dick you shake;
Now. II you're inclined TO spirits,
It's a friendly glass you take.

A SERIOUS COLLISION.

An ocean Liner Ran Into and Sunk
 Barge-No Lives Were Lost
 Due-tO a Misunderstanding of Sig
 nals.
 PROVIDENCE, R. T.. Aug 16:-A serious collision occurred just north of Ssbin Point Light at 3:15 o'clock this afternoon when the large ocean liner steamer Berk- shire of the Providence and Norfolk line, in command of Captain Hooper, ran into and sunk the Norfolk and Western Road eompany's barge, No. 4, in about thirty feet of water. The barge at the time was in tow of ocean tug Norfolk and Western. No 1, Captain Baker, bound from Norfolk for this port. She had in several hundred tons of coal to be discharged at Wilkes barre pier. The barge was in command of Captain Burnett and aboard was crew consisting of five seamen. No lives were lost.
 The cause of the collision was probably due to misunderstanding of signals or the part of the commanders of the Berk l shire and the tug. The Berkshire wal not seriously damaged and proceeded south at 6:3O. The barge is valued a $15, ,0O0 and is believed to be insured
 Value of the coal is $5 ,000, also insured.
