MANY IN PERIL OF DROWNING.
A SCHOONER RUNS DOWN a FISHING sLooP
IN THE LOWER BAY.


About twenty fishermen all Of whom said
TO be residents of this city, had narrow escape
from drowning in the Lower Bay off Swinburn
Island at an early hour yesterday morning. The
party chartered the sloop Elsie O.. commanded
by Captain Charles Schudt. and owned by John
H. Boldt, of Stapleton. Staten Island. and left
Stapleton about l o'clock yesterday morning,
break.
The sloop beating down the channel
abreast of Swinburn Island about 3 o'clock. when
Captain Schudt a large schooner heading
directly toward the Elsie Q. and only short
distance away. Captain Schudt says that he
had the right Of way, but, seeing that the
course Of the schooner was not altered, he
threw over his helm and brought the sloop about
in a vain effort to avoid collision.
The prov of the schooner struck the sloop a
glancing blow on the starboard side, tearing
away the sail and cutting the craft nearly TO
the waters edge. The mast broke off the
deck and fell to port. fortunately carrying the
sail and spars clear of the boat. Several of the
members Of the fishing party the majority of
whom were deck. jumped or were carried
overheard by the rigging, but all managed to
keep af1oat until hauled aboard the wrecked
craft by their companions.
The schooner swung clear of the wreck and
hove to until 1t was learned that the sloop
in no immediate danger of sinking The
scop f1oated on its beam ends for an hour,
when passing tug came to the rescue of the
unfortunate fishermen and toWed the wrecked
sloop to Stapleton. The fishing parry returned
10 their homes. Captain Schudt did not ascer-
tain the name Of the schooner.

WHERE IS OUR BOASTED CHARITY?

1T SEEMS incredible in civilized, Christian
community like this that poor, friendless boy,
whose only offense is poverty, should be sent to
prison for one month at hard labor and be required
during that period to penal uniform of stripes
such as is worn by hardened prisoners in State
penitentiaries. Still the fact remains almost
ashamed to admit, that in this city, Harry Williams,
lad of tender years. tried in the police court
and sent to the worhouse for 30 days under the
markable District vagrancy law. The testimony
showed that Harry, homeless, hungry and shvering
with cold had been found by policeman in the
vestibule of church where doubt, the beautiful
and Cody lesson of charity is often preached and
taught He had sought refuge there in the night.
The policeman did but his duty in taking the lily
clad boy to the stationhouse, where he made az
comfortable as possible But what of the court and
the socalled law which sent the unfortunate lad to
prison. there to prison garb and receive perhaps
his first lesson in crime from his caous companions?
There is something radically wrong somewhere in
the system which permits such inhumanities that
cited. If there is existent remedy for such cases
one should be provided, if it is necessary to
appeal to Congress.-W Washington Hatchet
