Two FERRY FR|GATS.
Princeton in a Double Collision,
and Now Laid Up for Repairs.
Passengers Knocked Down and a
Panic Narrowly Averted.
Struck by the Hudson City, Bows
On, Then Bumped the Kingston.

The Princeton, one Of the double-deck
palatial ferry-boats OF the Pennsylvania
line, Is laid up for repairs to-day at the
Company's docks In Hoboken.
The boat is pretty well used up fore
and aft, as the result of double col
lision which occurred about $50 p. NJ.
yesterday.
Fairly loaded down with passengers,
the Princeton had just pulled out of her
Desbrosses street slip. bound for Jersey
city, when the Hudson City, a single
deck dayboat of the same line, bore
down upon her at pretty brisk rate OF
speed
Passengers on both boats realized that
a collision was unavoidable, and a panic
was averted only through the cool
headed conduct of several gritty mem
Women and children commenced to
shrek, men swore and shouted, and
nearly everybody. sought safety by press
ing back upon the crowd In the cabins
and aft.
Then came the crash. Both boats had
reversed engines as soon as 1t had be-
be avoided, and consequently, when they
nearly as great as had been expected.
Still it was severe enough to throw
people off their feet, and to tear an
ugly breach into the low deck of the
Princeton. The Hudson city escaped In
When It was discovered that no great
damage had been done and that, at all
events, nobody had been seriously In
jured, the Princeton resumed her course
towards the Jersey shore, and was GID
ing along smoothly, when suddenly
shrieks and shouts once more rent the
air. this time from the decks aft.
The echo OF the first shrek had scarce
ly been drowned by the second one when
another crash sent the now thoroughly
pancky passengers once more sprawline
upon the fioor.
Again babel Of shrieks, groans
curses and commands ensued, and this
time II seemed actually miraculous that
none of the passengers jumped over,
board Everybody was badly frightened
and probably expected instant death,
"its ali right" shouted some one. "It's
nothing ut all. Just a rubbing OF noses
between our boat and the Kingston"
This was said so jocularly that The pas
sengers nearly all recovered their pres
ence OF mind and began reassuring their
neighbors.
The Kingston belongs to the West
Shore line and was probably swept by
the tide against the Princeton. The lat
ter had drifted considerably out or her
course after the first collision.
This at least. was the belief expressed
by Supt. Robert Bloomburg, OF the
Pennsylvania railroads ferry-boat ser,
vice, who said to-day that he would not
be able to give out the true reason OF
the collisions until after he had received
reports from l.iots Lowell NJ. Decker, OF
the Princeton, and William longstreet
of the Hudson City.

OPEN REBELLION IS FEARED.
Six Thousand Men Are Now on
Strike in Paterson, N. j.
Anarchists Held Responsible for a
Bomb Explosion.

PATERSON, n. j., March 16-Evidence
is plentiful that the chief Industries OF
this usually thriving municipality, to w.t.
the SILK dying and weaving business.
Is at a standstil. as is shown by the
grouping on every street corner of a
dozen or more men, who talk In sub
dued tones and watch all strangers with
furtive glances.
1t is certain that 5000 workmen are idle
In consequence Of the strike OF the silk
dyers and weavers, and that number IL
augmented by mechanics in other lines
who are holding Off from work because
OF strife between labor and capital.
Apprehension is plainly shown and felt
In this place that the vast army OF I'M
employed will spread out into open re-
bellion and commit deplorable acts Of
disorder.
An emphatic indication OF the inclina-
ton Of the strikers to do this was dem
onstrated last night, when he eastern
suburbs Of the city were rocked by a
Nineteenth street and Seventeenth ave-
nue..
The explosion which fortunately caused
no damage and Injured no person, is at
tendencies.
Capt. Bimson, of Paterson's police,
said to-day his men made careful in
vestigation, but could recover no frag-
ments of the bomb or any clue to the
throwers. He Is prepared at the short
est call to protect life and property,
and has his entire force of reserves on
duty In the police headquarters to re-
spond to every emergency.
a committee representing the strikers
called on Police Judge Van Cieve, this
morning, to demand the release of the
five strikers who were sentenced to jail
Wednesday for melting riot.
Judge Cleve explained that, although
he had committed the men for thirty
days to the county jail. any commuta-
together upon the manner in which the
strikers conducted themselves.
He was not inclined to be too harsh
hut ?a the other hand, he wished to be
that he might reduce the term or release
tno men altogether, II the strikers only
behaved themselves, and acted In an
entirely orderly way.
The 30o or 400 men who struck yester-
day at the Arnold Bros mills, In Haw-
Silk Dying and Finishing Company, re-
turned to work this morning with the
exception of a half dozen leaders.
trouble was expected this morning
James johnson. of Paterson, was at his
office before o'clock ready for a sum
mons to the Arnold mills.
He had prepared himself for an out
break. in view of the bomb explosion of
last night, and said he could get 100 men
ment's notice.
Word was sent to him, however, a few
minutes after 7 that the strikers had
weakened and returned to work.

frequent allnsions to it in the Bible.

"Can-t thou draw out a leviathan with
a hook, or his tongue with a cord which
thou lcttest down: CauSt thou put a

"French Canadians.

SkoWhegan Democrats single out one
class of citizens for special missionary
work and purpose to bring +. W. Clair
Esq. Waterylle lawyer, here to-mor-
row. Friday, evening, to enlighten
,.French Canadians" in democratic
principles. We know there are a good
number of citizens of our town who
either came here from Canada and have
taken the oath of allegiance and 50 be-
came American citizens or were born
in the United States of French parent
age, and have right to exercise all the
privileges of citizens, including the
right to vote at all elections, but the
application of the term "Freuch Cana
dians" to these citizens is a misnomer
1t is charitable to suppose that it was
unintentional. that they intended to say
French Americans, but it is little better
than an insult to single out these citi
zens as objects of special concern and
unusual effort, and advertise on glarine
llduublll>. I'idItu III INC NiHN'N9 vi
business houses about town, that they
are to be instructed in Democratic priv
eiples by man brought here for that cX-
press purpose. and we believe these citi
zens will resent this treatment.
Democrats in Maine have for many
years boosted that they control the
French-Americau vote. They evidently
think they have Il mortgage upon tho
votes of Frcnch-Americans in Skowhe
gan and presume that all that is neces
sary for them to do is to bring a lawyer
up from Waterville and foreclose thi:
mortgage and have them vote the Dem
ocratic ticket solidly on Monday next
But in this they are doomed to disap
pointment. Skowhegan French-Ameri
cans have always been divided as tC
parties which is right. \ good portion
of them have always voted the Republic
can ticket and this year the number i
likely to he largely increased, the eX
traordinarv effort of the enemy to III,
contrary, Notwithstanding.
These citizens in common with al
others have had specimen of Demo
cratic rule and Democratic times il
uncertain employment and reduction d
wages and this has brought the sub
iect close to them. They realize the
difference between Republican rule ant
adequate protection. and Democratic
rule, alleged tariff reform with genera
distrust and uncertainty, and it is hav
ing the effect to cause many to leave th'
Democratic ranks and vote the Republi
can ticket, not only in Skowhegan, bu
in other Maine towns and cities.
Therefore ii is not Il good year fol
Democrats to attempt to enforce thcil
bogus claim upon citizens of Skowhe
gan, and the Waterville lawyer may JUS
as well stay at home and try his tactic;
upon the people of his own city. The
citizens of Skowhegan are too Intelligent
and sensible to be duped by such meth
DDS. They know Il thing or two if they
have not the advantages of city life, and
if influenced at all by the special plead
ing of this smart city lawyer, it will bt
in direction contrary to that designed
by our Democratic friends.
