Ferryboat Smashes q Steam Launch
Exciting scene.

Exciting Scene.
The ferryboat Fanwood of the New
Jersey Central Railroad ran into a steam
launch this morning and smashed it
like an egg shell. 1t sank. 1t happened
about II o'clock this morning, when the
ferryboat started from her New York
pier. Just as she emerged from her dock
a small steam launch, headed up Ire
river, ran directly in front Of her: The
men on board the launch had no time TO
change their course or get out OF the
way.
The Fanwood struck her amidship-,
and she went to the bottom like a stone.
Three men were on board or the
launch. All three Ieaped into the water
the instant after the collision occurred.
A number of tugs and several ~ferryboat.-
were in the vicinity at the time.
The Fanwood stopped her engines I'M
m~ediately. She was loaded with pas
sengers at the time. After the collision
there was a good deal of excitement
among the
All three men seemed to be able swim
mers. They had no difficulty in keep
ing themselves a1oat. The tugboat Bar
rett was the first to arrive on the scene.
Ropes were thrown from the deck OF
the Barrett, and all three We're dragged
on deck without much difficulty. They
were badly frightened, but none the
worse for their ducking.
Meanwhile every trace of the launch
had disappeared. AS she lay directly in
front of the dock it was feared hat she
might obstruct the ferry traffic.
The water just there, however, is ex-
ceedingly deep.
on board the Barrett the excitement
among the passengers on the ferryboat
subsidized.
The men were carried up the river on
names of the men nor the launch were
known.

CLEVER WORK OF AN ooULIsT.
Damage Suit Defeated Through
KnoWIedUe of 0nficS.

Damage suit Defeated Through a
knowledge of optics.
Here is an interesting account of a very
clever bit of detective work by an oculist:-
1t appears that in a large factory, in which
were employed several hundred persons, one
Of the workmen. in welding his hammer
carelessly allowed 1T to slip from his hand.
1t few half way across the room and struck
a fellow workingman in the left eve. The
man averred that his sight was blinded by
the blow, although a careful examination
failed to reveal any injury, there being not
a scratch visible. He brought a suit in the
courts for compensation for the loss Of half
of his evcsight, and refused all efforts of
compromise.
Under the law, says the Sheffield England
Telegraph" the owner of the factory was
responsible for an injury resulting from an
accident of this kind, and although he be-
lieved that the man was shamming and that
the whole case was an attempt at %swindling,
he had about made up his mind that he
would be compelled to pay the claim. The
day of the trial arrived, and in open court
an eminent oculist retained for the defense
examined the alleged injured member and
rave 1t as his opinion that it was as good as
the right eye. Upon the plaintiffs loud pro-
test Of his inability to see with his left eye,
the oculist proved him a p~eriurer and salts
fed the court and jury of the falsity of his
claim.
And now do you suppose he did ita Why.
simply by knowing that the colors green and
red combined to make black. He procured
a black card on which a few words were
written with green ink. Then the plaintiff
was ordered to put on a pair of spectacles
with two different glasses, the one for the
right eye being red and the one for the left
eye consisting of ordinary glass. Then the
| card was handed him, and he was ordered to
read the writing on it. This he did without
hesitation, and the, cheat was at once ex-
posed. The sound right eye, fitted with the
red glass, was unable to distinguish the green
| writing on the black surface of the card.
While the left eye. which he pretended was
| siehtless, was the one which the reading had
| hean done Press.

CHINA IN THE REAR.

It is the policy of Ii Hung Chang to never
put China in front. The French found this
out to their cost in Tonquin. when Sofici-
ally' they only had to contend with "Black
Flags and yellow Flags"-that is to say,
with pirates; but behind these pirates stood
China, supplying them with arms and am
munition. So now behind the SCoreans are
the Chinese, and perhaps behind China is
England. 1t is this that ends gravity to
what is going on at Seoul,-Philadelphia

Their has been no attempt on the part
of the company to defraud theGovern-
ment in any way. The whole amount
involved is not over 5000. 1t is not I'M
usual to do just what has been done in
this particular instance-that is, fill or
plug the castings in the rough. In the
finishing process castings are considera-
bly, reduced in size, and the plugging or
filling entirely disappears.

the Government to make, and If it is
not established our company will have
an action for heavy damages against the

new POLITICAL MOVEMENT
The National Independent League Comes
TO Life In Kansas.
THEY STAND FOR 4 LAND CURRENCY
The Government Asked 10 Issue Money On a
Basis Of Land Values, and 10 Do
Away With Coin.

EMPoRIA, Kan, Sept. 20.--"The Ma.
tional Independent League" new po-
litical movement claiming to be nonpar-
tisan, was inaugurated and the first num-
Der Of its official organ, the Independent
League. made lite appearance yesterday.
The father Of the movement Ia j. ID. Hol.
den, author of much reform literature, es-
pecially on money matters. He was the
first national president of the Citizens
alliance chosen at the Ocala convention.
The new movement exacts written
pledge of each member not to vote for
any candidate for the legislature or con-
greas who will not pledge himself in
writing to support "lsnd currency bill, "
a copy OF which appears in the paper,
The purpose is to have the government
iseue money ON basis Of land value
alone and to do away entirely with coin
or other basis. A personal canvass is
being made of each voter in THE con-
gressional district, and this canvass will
he exte nded throughout the union. The
movement is spreading like prairie fire,
especially among the populists. Repuh-
Leans, however are fighting shy, and,
while many favor the idea, they fear it is
IA populist trick to defeat the republican
candidates.
