COLLIDED IN THE FOG.

FIagler's Yacht Alicia Rammed the Con.
 solidated Roads Transfer Boat Express-
 Two Men Overheard.
 New York, Sept. 5.-Henry M. Flag ler's big white steam yacht Alicia, while running down the East river just before 10 o'clock this morning, collided with the New York, New Haven and Hart ford's transfer boat Express going up
 The bow of the yacht was badly stove, and the forefoot was carried away, while the Express had her for ward guard splintered. A heavy fog hung over the river at the time, and during the excitement two of the Ali cia's sailors fell overoard. They were rescued.
 Both boats were in midstream at the time. Two long lines of freight cars were on the Express. Two ferry boats were crossing at the same time in courses at right angles to those of the yacht and transfer boat.
 One ferryboat, the Warren of the Grand street line, was pointing direct for her slip, and the other was making for the Twenty-third street dock. The steersman of the Alicia saw the War ren and veered off in an effort to cross her bow, seemingly forgetting all about the Express, which was coming up the river in course parallel with the yacht.
 The steersman of the Express evil dently saw the boats peril and sig nailed in 8 hurry, but it was too late. The two boats crashed together, bows on, with a noise that could be heard across the river.
 The Alicia's bowsprit tore through the guard rail of the Express, and was itself carried away, along with a DOT tion of the forefoot and big piece of the forward railing. A lifeboat hanging on the yachts forward davits was hurled fifty feet through the air and landed in the water.
 This was off the foot of Broome street. Tine Express kept on but the Alicia an- chored. Finding no material damage the yacht also moved away in few minutes. A tug picked up the Alicia's boat. The blow was glancing one, and thus prevented what might have been a disaster to the yacht and it's pas sengers and crew. 't''t!s ''''' \
 MT. Flagler was not on board his yacht at the time, but had left her at the New York yacht landing, at the foot of Twenty-sixth street, after the trip from his country place at Mama roneck.
 The yacht is a splendid type of! the modern pleasure vessel. She is of steel, schooner rigged. and 18o feet over all. She is 2 speedy boat. and carries triple expansion engines.
