FERRY BOAT SINKS WITH OVER

of way was the cause of the disaster.
Captain Abraham johnson was in
charge of the Mortified and Captain
s.. c. Griffin was in command of the
Mauch Chunk. Each lays the blame
for the collision on the other.
The Mortified, with n load of pas
sengers. %variously estimated Mt o and
1900, at 6:01 p. IN. started Il of the
west slip Mt Whitehall street for st.
George, Staten Island, and at 5:53 p.
m. the Mauch Chunk left the railroad
slip at Communpow for Whitehall
street. The latter craft was abreast
of the barge office at the Battery when
the Ncrthfield came u of the slip,
An exchange of whistles between
the boats was follwed by the crash.
AS the humping of the ferry boats ls
not unusual in this harbor the passen-
gers on the Mortified did not for n
minute or so realize the seriousness of
the collision. When, however, two
firemen ran up on deck to save them
selves from the inflow of water and
the Mortified was being driven Mt full
speed up the East river instead of
down toward Staten island, and all the
time screeching for help, they knew
that something serious had happened.
Then commenced the panic, which
continued until the Mortified went
down. At no time was the Northheld
more than 800 feet out in the river be
yond the bulkhead line, but the tide
was running with the velocity of a
mill race, and had the vessel sunk out
in the stream only the tugs would
have been able to give assistance.
Captain Abraham johnson of the
Mortified was arrested about mid
night on n charge of criminal negli-
gence.
Captain Griffin of the Mauch Chunk
went to his home in Jersey City not
long after the accident occurred. Off
GERS of the Jersey Central railroad
gave assurances that Captain Griffin
would make his appearance in court to
answer to Il technical charge of man
slaughter.

There were twelve teams IN the

News Spccial.)-Snow shovels We're got
out by business men in that portion

terday afternoon to clean from their
sidewalks two inches of hail which
came down in about twenty minutes.
In some places the hail was driven into
drifts that reached n depth of eight or
ten inches. Streets, sidewalks and
roofs were so covered as to give the
appearance of midwinter. North Of
the river there was considerable hail,
the storm sweeping in from the west
and travelling southeast. Some of the
haiIstones were as large as marbles

from ranchmen having berries and 9TH
err small fruits.
Reports coming in last night from
ranches east of the city along the Ar
kansas, in the highly cultivated sec
ton around Nineland, Artman and Az

result than east of the city.

put to sea with a st%upendous, unwield-
ly raft and successfully tow 1t almost
a thousand miles: but the trip has been
accomplished a number of times and
promises to become a regular business.
The logs are principally for piling and
posts and one raft will contain as much
as 500. 900 llneal feet. The RATS are
built somewhat in the shape of a colos-
sal cigar, and each log is fitted care
fully into it's place, The whole is fast
ened together witt o n OF chains, till
the danger of going to pieces at sea
is reduced to a minimum.
