BOATS COLLIDE,

Due to a misunderstanding of SignaIs-Sev-
eral Persons Thought to Have Been
Drowned.
New YORK, Sept. 16.-The big Hud-
son river steamboat Catskill and the
larger excursion boat st. Johns. coll
hded Wednesday evening on the North
river off this city. The ST. Johns had
1000 eXcursi onists and the other
boat had started on it's regu-
lar night trip with 80 passengers.
The collision was due to a
misunderstanding of the signals which
passed between the two vessels The
st. Johns struck the Catslill, which was
heavily loaded with freight, on the
starboard side, 50 feet from the bow of
the boat, cutting hole in the hull be-
low the water line. The crash extin-
guished the lights on the Cats
kill and caused panic among
the passengers, some of whom drop
ped overheard. Great excitement
also prevailed among the excursionists
on the st. Johns. When the steam
boats parted, the Catskill was turned
toward the Jersey shore while the
crew of the st. Johns lowered small
boats and rescued the people struggling
