on Thursday a week ago upon the open-

FOG BOUND IN HARRoR.
Vessels Held Motionle IS for Half an Hour
by the Impenetrable Mist.

New York, November 22.-One of the
heaviest fogs ever experienced by marin
ers at this port settled over the harbor
at abou t O'Clock last evening. 1t was
so dense and came upon the barbor SO
suddenly that the greatest caution was
necessary to avert serious accidents.
A bout the Battery it seemed to hang
spread over the water, craft of all kinds
were blowing toward the East and North
rivers. just back of the barge office the
Shackanaxon, which carries passengers
to and from Ellis Island, was about to
make her dock. At the same time tug
Of the New York Central q Hudson
River railroad Company, the ferry boat
Middletown, OF the Staten Island Heet,
and about six other tugs and SAILING
vessels were passing. When the almost
impenetrable mist shut out the view OIL
one another, the various vessels became
mixed up in dangerous manner. opeeu
was decreased, and there was begun
b lowing of fog whistles that did not
cease until late at night. In attempting
to make his dock the captain OF the
Middletown was deceived by the req
light which is always hung back OF the
bargeoffice. He made directly toward
it under. one-quarter speed, thinking IL
indicated the slip of the Staten Island
Ferry Company. The Shackamaxon
was also driving, slowly toward the light
and the two boats got SO close together
that collision was nearly the result.
Had the boats been going at greater
speed, they would surely have gone to-
gether. While they were doing their
best to get apart, several tugs, Win
5arges in tow, arrived on the scene. FMS
increased the danger of the situation. IL
was necessary for all to make compieIe
stop until distances could be surveyed.
This took at least half an hour. Not
understanding the use of lights the YES
sells could not be sighted. The tugs ard
ferry boats rubbed against each other,
but no damage was done.
The fog moved out to sea about 70
O'Clock in the evening, and rendered the
progress of incoming steamers difficult.
OF the thirty vessels that were due at
their docks, only the Rhaetia, of the
Hamburg American line, and the CO.
lumbia, of the Pacific mail line, were
able to move in after 5 o'clock. The fog
was dense along the docks of both riY-
ers. All ferry boats were delayed for
more than an hour. The fog did not
lift until aftar midnight, when naviga-
ton was practically safe.
The small passenger steamer Victor,
that carries passengers between the Bat
terry and 65th street, Bay Ridge, ran on
to some rocks at the foot OF 4Sth street,
while hugging the South Brooklyn
shore for safety in the fog. The boat
was south bound and had only six pas
sengers With the assistance of tug
she gained her berth at Bay Ridge,
without serious delay. Her hull was
damaged to the extent of $500. ~ a

Boston, Mass, November %. -One
more days practice and the Harvard
eleven are off for Springfield. The fnal
arrangements for the game have been
completed. The students will meet in
front of Leavitt & Pierce's..to cheer the
team off. More interest than usual has
been manifested this year, and the send

Springfield the cheering will be led By

sspectively, and as everything looks now
both will line up against Yale.

DOUBT IN TENNESSEE.
Not known Yet Whether Republicans or
Democrats Have Elected.

Nashville, Tenn, November 22-Up to this
time, it is not officially known whether
Peter Turney, Democrat. or H. Clay Evans
has peen elected governor of Tennessee.
According to footings made at the party
headquarters and in the newspaper o.hces
the unofficial returns show Evans 10 have
sscarrfed tile STATE by something over 10000.
= 1t has been understood that returns from
every county in the st ate have been in the
hands of Secretary of State Morgan for
several days. Tuesday there was consulta-
lion of secretary Morgan, Attorney General
Picklead other and officials, and it was deci-
ded that the returns should,not be made pub
lie until the poll books had been sent infrom
every county. This delay in announcing the
returns, following upon the recent an
nouncement of Judge McCorry that the
election of Evans would never be conceded
until the election frauds charged against
the Republicans had been thoroughly inves-
tigated, has excited the Republicans.

BANKERS NOT EAGER.
The New Bonds Will Be Taken Largely by
Private subscriptions.

New York, November 22.-Up to noon to-
day, none of the leading bankers had re-
ceiyed a call for conference in regard 10
the bond issue. Some think that there VIII
be neither a formal nor an informal meet
ing and that no concerted action Will be
taken. The impression is that private sub
scriptions will be heavier than some OF the
bankers, who are giving the loan but quasi
support, think for. The inquiry for sub
scription blankS.at the sub-treasury con-
-tiuues large.
