PANIC FOLLOWS A COLLISION.
Two Steamboats, Come Together
In a Fog in New York Bay.

Tried to dump overbUartl--A Fortunate
Ending without Casualties.
NEW York, Aug. 1.-THE steamboat
Waterbury. in her regular daily trip to
the fishing banks. ran into the Sandy
Hook steamboat Monmouth, belonging TO
the Central Railway of New Jersey, Just
below the Narrows, about o o'clock this
morning. A dense fog, which obscured
all objects on the water at that time, was
one Of the causes of the collision.
The Waterbury was crowded with sew
eral hundred eXcursionlsts from this city
and Williamsburg, and the Monmouth
was packed with the usual morning crowd
of business men on their way to the city
from the New Jersey coast resorts.
There was panic on board both boats.
-Four men jumped from the upper deck of
the Waterbury to the deck of the Mon
mouth and sustained light bruises. There
was general rush tor lifc-preservers and
only the GOODNESS Of the officers of the
Waterbury, aided by some of the pas
sengers. kept dozens from jumping from
the boat to the Monmouth or into the
water.
The force of the blow caused both YES
| sells to careen violently and many passen-
| gers were thrown, from their feet. Great
excitement prevailed on board the Mon
mouth.
A moment after the shock of the col
] lision there was q panic on board the
/ Waterbury. Women shrieked and tainted
children cried and men struggled for the
life-preservers. The boats drifted apart
and lost sight of each other in the fog
before either could ascertain the extent oil
| each others injuries.

There is no doubt that man is a fine
mechanism, but like every other machine
he wears out by friction. II is said that he
is born again every two or three years.
His body is virtually remade from food,
To retard this making over is radically
wrong as a man loses so much vitality in
the delayed process that it takes long
time to recuperate. The process of making
anew is so accelerated by purging with
Brandreth's Pills that a new man as il
were, may be made in two or three months
and the change in the mechanism is such
that the worn out part is replaced by the
new without the usual running down of
stop for repairs. Purge away with Bran.

ARREsrEID ON SUSPICION.
Two Negroes Who Are supposed to Have
Committed an Outrageous Assault
Upon White Woman.


PocoMoKE CITY, Nd, Aug. 10.-Ben-
jamin Brown and Joseph Holton, both
colored, were arrested and arraigned
before Justice j. d. A. Robinson this
morning, On Tuesday afternoon an
outrageous assault was committed on
Mrs. George w. Townsend, residing
three miles from this town. Since then
the authorities have been on the search
for the perpetrator. The two men above
mentioned were arrested upon suspicion.
Mrs. Townsend, in her weak and ex-
cited state, was unable to identify either
of the men as the party who assaulted
her, and they were both discarged.
Later in the day other evidence was
brought to the attention Of Justice Rob-
inson and another writ was issued for
Holden. He was arrested second time
and is still in the hands of the authori-
ties awaiting a hearing. The citizens are
still very much enraged over the affair,
and while there is no desire or intent
| upon their part to ill-treat an innocent
man, at the same time they are pro
nounced in their opinion that the guilty
party, if found, should and will suffer.

Street Yesterday Afternoon.
Two spirited horses attached to wagon
owned by Liveryman Charles b. Dough.
erty created lively scene by running
away on Front street Friday afternoon.
The animals were standing in front of the
stables at Front and Orange streets, when
they became frightened and started on
mad run along Front street. They crossed
Market at 2.40 gate and swung into East
Front street Just in time to avoid crashing
into an electric car. At Front and French
streets the poll OF the wagon crashed into
the door of the Grand Union Hotel, throw
ing both of the animals down and break.
ing the wagon pole to splinters. They
were captured and taken back to Mr..
Doughertys stables. No one was injured
| in the accident. A runaway horse later
| in the afternoon, owned by Amos Sharp
less of Ashland, wrecked lamp post at
| Front and Adams streets, where the steed
was subsequently captured without fur
| ther accident.
Mr.. Doughertys team knocked down q
horse belonging to Edward Robinson and
broke the ridge pole and hind wheels oil
the latters wagon and sprsined the fore
wheels OF Mr.. Robinson's vehicle.
