COLLISION IN THE BAr.

Middleton and the Transport Leader Go
 Together-An Exciting Time.
 New York, March 26.-The Staten Island ferryboat Middletown which left her slip at the foot of Whitehall street at 9:S0 o'clock this morning, for Clifton, ran down the Newark freight trans port Leader when she got to point off Robbins Reef.
 Both boats were badly injured. The Middletowns side was badly smashed, but all her injuries were above the water line. The freighter was the Leader of Newark
 It was different with the freighter Her injuries were disastrous. Both beats whistled for help and a few minutes after the accident the Middle towns sister boat, the Castleton, loom ed up through the fog.
 At that time the freighter was sinking fast. Her deck was already below wa ter. The Middetown was standing by her and the crew of the freighter had been transferred to her.
 The Middletown signalled that she was in no need of assistance, so the Cas- tleton continued on her way to New York.
 The Middletown had comparatively few passengers on board, but they made up in excitement what they lacked in numbers.
