AND MAIN ToPMAsTs IN COLLISION.
The brig Nellie Pickup, which arrived here late
Friday afternoon from Demerara, had an exciting
experience at Quarantine that night and was
practically wrecked after being presumably safe
In port.
About O'Clock Friday evening the northeast gale
became SO strong that anchor thought in
sufficient and a second was dropped Nevertheless,
I'm a few minutes the brig began TO drag. In vain
chain was veered, in the hope Of securing better
hold upon the bottom. Just astern Of her lay the
Italian bark Enrichetta Accame. and before long
II became certain that a collision must take place
Captain Spur Of the Pickup, then tried by veer-
ing one anchor chain and holding the other TO pass
to one side of the bark and nearly succeeded in do
ing So Nearer and nearer came the ships, until
they rubbed each others sides. Then the yards or
the brig caught on those Of the bark. and for few
moments IL was a question which would fail under
the strain At last with crash the fore topnast
Of the brig gave way. The strong stays reaching
from 1t TO the main topmast dragged that 100 from
its place breaking 1t right across.
Next the two vessels bumped into each other with
terrific force breaking the briggs rail and STAYING
in her bulwarks Then her bowsprit went and she
looked almost a complete wreck; Both anchor
chains had now given way and both anchors were
lost. The brig chung TO the bark anu saver her-
self from further drifting until tug took charge
of her and towed her to Erie Basin, where she now
Is. The bark received only slight damage TO her

RAnRoADBRs SURPRISED.

Many Pennsylvania Railway Employees
Astonished by Raise in Wages.
NEW YoRK, April 17.-An exception
to the rule that railroad employees must
strike to get better wages has been
given by the Pennsylvania Co. The
baggage masters, baggage agents,
baggage porters and ferry engineers
of the Pennsylvania Co working in
New York and Jersey City are just now
convinced that there is no occasion to
strike Their salaries have been raised
without their asking it The engi-
neers got the good tidings a month
ago, when they received 500 each
in their pay envelopes, instead of
the expected 500 They were at first
benumbed by their good fortune. The
other employees congratulated them,
and the engineers hoped that the same
happy surprise was in store for them.
Their wishes were realized. The men
generally are paid on the 10th of the
month. AS that date happened to be
to-day Sunday, the men were paid
Saturday, the 18th When the bag
gage-masters stepped up for their mon
ey they received $e5 instead Of $50,
their former pay; the baggage agents
found their salaries raised from S45 to
s54, and the baggage porters were de-
lighted, to fnd that their monthly
stipend had been advanced from s41
to e45.
