CRASH IN TIE FOG.
Two Crowded Erie Ferryboats
Collide in the North River
Passengers Slightly
Hurt.

During the dense fog, this morning, the
Erie ferryboat John McCullagh, crashed
into the Bremen of the Hoboken line, ,caus-
ing a panic among the passengers on each
boat
The accident occurred just off the foot
of Barclay street on the New York side.
When the boats came together the crash
could be heard for some distance Almost
every window ON the port side of the
Bremen was broken, and the upper works
on both boats were smashed and splin-
tered Many of the passengers were
struck by flying glass, but none were SER
iously injured They ran frantically
through the cabins and it was some time
after the collision before their fears were
heads and attempted to jump overheard
but were prevented by the deck hands.
The Bremen left her pier in Hoboken at
7:25 o'clock with an extra large number of
passengers aboard. On the upper deck two
lookouts were stationed and the fog whis-
tie was blown constantly. While the
Bremen was approaching her New York
slip the McCullagh left her slip at the foot
OF Chambers street. She was crowded
also and had lookouts stationed and her
whistles blowing continually.
Just as she left her slip. she swung
down the stream with the tide and few
minutes later crashed into the port side
of the Bremen. The deck of the McCul-
lagh struck the mems cabin on the Bre-
men and tore away part of the frame
work. Some of the men in the cabin were
knocked out of their seats by the collision.
On both boats wild excitement prevailed,
but the cooler passengers kept the others
from acting foolishly and prevented seri-
Gus results. The deck of the McCullagh
was somewhat splintered. The engines
had been reversed, however, a few seconds

Bremen entered her slip Immediately, and,
after unloading her passengers, returned
to Hoboken, where she was tied up for
repairs at the Fourteenth street dry
docks.
The McCullagh finished her trip and was
then laid alongside the Bremen to have
her deck repaired.

fired by Tuttle in the latters efforts to
shoot Boinay and Weeks.

UNION PACIFIC AGAIN.
JACKASS DINGLEY.

FFrom the Evening POST of Yesterday
1t appears from Mr.. Dingley's remarks
to our Washington correspondent yes
terday that people whom that statesman
calls the champions of the Wilson act
do not dare to make comparisons De-
tween the first months of the wilson
act and the first months of the present
act" We must confess our surprise al
the timidity of these champions, II MI.
Dingley has correctly described their
conduct Our own impression had peeh
that the critics of Mr.. Dingley's Dill did
not confine themselves to particular COM
parisons, because they were able to make
and prove the somewhat more striking
statement that the customs revenue pro-
duced by the Dingley law is thus FAR less
than the revenue of any four preceding
months in twenty years. However, we are
glad to oblige Mr.. Dingley in the matter
all the more readily because his interview
shows that the same people who induced
him, last March, to predict an annual
revenue increase of $113, ,G000 900, have been
again imposing on him. We subjoin the
comparative returns of customs revenue,
the record for the Wilson act beginning
with September, 1894, and for the Dingley
act with August, 1877

FORESTRY ASSOCIATION MEETS.
Secretary and Tresxurer's Reports
show Gains In Money and We eEn bers.

WASHINGTON, Dec. s. 1S97.-The
American Forestry Association held its
sixteenth annual meeting at Washington
today The meeting is mainly business
meeting to satisfy the requirements of
articles of incorporation for the purpose
of receiving reports and the election Of
officers. General Francis H. Appleton of
Boston presided. After a brief report
from the Board of Directors, the report
of the Executive Committee was read by
the chairman, DR.. E. B. Fernow The re-
port referred to the legislation passed in
the extraordinary session of the present
Congress providing an administration for
the forest reservations, as a result of the
educational work of the association during
the last ten years.
The owning of forest areas, it is said
is being recognized by various States as
an essential part of a State forest policy.
The tariff legislation was briefly
touched upon as influencing neither fa-
vorably nor unfavorably the forestry
movement.
With the new year, the association will
publish at Washington its own monthly
magazine, "The Forester" to be devoted
to the interests Of the forestry movement
and of all owners of woodlands, parks and
grounds, giving technical advice how to
treat them.
The report of the Treasurer showed a
considerable surplus at the disposal of the
association, and that of the Secretary a
constant growth in membership.

Wild runors have lately been circulated
that Mayor Hoos was making up his slate
for the appointments to be made by him
in April next How far this is true may
be learned from the following statement
made by His Homer his morning to a
News reporter:--
IT'S absurd to say that I am making
up a slate for the April appointments.
] OH can rest assured that nothing will
be done until the last week in March, for

things can happen before then. Anything

Asked if he feared going to the Reform
School, Anger said that the Larkins boy,
another of the gang, had read to him
last night that Judge Hudspeth refused
to send him and his companion there.
Such is the story of Joseph Anger, II
years old, who has been a professional
thief for nearly two years, and who is
believed TO be a typical degenerate and a
danger to the community. The police and
Justice Potts have both given him
chance after chance to reform and have
at last decided that there is nothing left
to do but send him to the Reform School,

time ago, when Anger was arrested on
another charge, that You might as we'll

! SPANISH CONSUL BROUGHT IN.
Testimony I'm the Teixeira BLACK :
mail Case

NEW YORK, Dec. 8, 1s97.-The examina-
tion of William Elford Gould and William
B. Turnbull, charged with attempting to
blackmail Eugneio Teixeira, the wealthy
Brazilian of this city, was continued to-
day After considerable testimony had
been heard the case was adjourned to
next Monday.
Turnbull, who yesterday testified for the
prosecution against Gould, resumed the
witness stand today. He swore that while
he and Gould We're together in their cell,
Gould asked him to say that he (Turnbul)
alone was guilty. Gould agreed that If he
would do this, Turnbull alleged, he would
bring suit for heavy damages for false ar
rest and look after Turnbull's family
while the latter was serving his sentence.
Turnbull further testified that Gould
said .sAll that the Spanish Consul was
to get out of 1t was a commission on
whatever we got, but Teixeira has prom
ised me- if / would implicate the Spanish
Consul, / would not be prosecuted
Turnbull said that he did not know
what the connection of the Spanish Con-
sui with the case really was.
A letter alleged to have been written
by Spanish Consul Baldasano, introducing
Gould to Teixeira, was read. In the let
ter, the Consul spoke very highly of
Gould and said that Gould's object In
meeting Teixeira was admiration for
Teixeira's artistic powers and desire to
discuss matters of art with him.
After testimony from the detective who
arrested the prisoners the examination
was adjourned.
