Ferry Boats Collide In East River and
Many Lives Are Lost.
The wooden side.wheeler Mortified
which has been in the service Of the
Staten Island Ferry company for the
past thirty-eight years, was rammed
Friday night by the s~teel-hulled pro-
PEELED Mauch Chunk, used as a ferry
boat by the Central railroad of New
jersey. The collision occurred inst off
the Staten Island ferry slip, at the foot
of Whitehall street, and in less than
twenty minutes afterwards the North
field, which was crowded with passen-
gers, sank at the outer end of the Span
ish line pier. in the East river. The
Mauch Chunk, which was badly dam
aged, landed two dozen passengers
who were aboard her.
Over a hundred Of the passengers of
the sunken Mortified were dragged
ont of the water by people along shore
and the crews of the fleet of river tugs
which promptly responded to the ferry
boats call for help. A few of the
Northficld's passengers were hurt in

A windstorm struck Burlington train
No. 72 o%ne-1uarter of a mile west of
Dorchester about 9 o'clock Saturday.
The train was pulling into the station
when the storm center passed over it,
throwing six empty box cars into the
ditch and badly wrecking them. A car
load of merchandise was turned cross
wise on the track and wrecked. Other
cars In the train were damaged.
A tramp named James Randall, who
was beating his way to Omaha from
the west, was caught in the wreck and
injured. 1t is not believed his injuries
will result fatally, but it was stated
that he was badly hurt.
The main line was blocked about five
hours, OBTAINING all east-bound trains.
A wrecking train was sent out from
Lincoln to clear the track.
Railroad reports stated that many
small outbuildings were blown down
in the vicinity Of Dorchester. The de-
pot building there was moved six inches
from the foundation and the top was
blown from the water tank. The wind,
as seen by railroad men, was a power
full one, although 1t did not have Il
rotary motion. 1t Is believed that re-
ports from the country districts might
show serious loss. The center
OF the storm seemed to have passed
nearly half a mile west of the Dor
chester station.
The wires west of Dorchester were
down for some time after the storm,

Upton willing to Race.

A London dispatch says When
the attention of Sir Thomas
Upton vas called to a report that his
secretary had announced his willing
ness that the Shamrock III should race
with the Independent if a cup were Of
fered, he replied that he had made no
arrangements for such n race, but did
not say why he should not do so after
his engagement with the New York
yacht club was concluded. Continuing,
Sir Thomas said;
what | would like to do would be
to arrange a rae with the Constitution
across the Atlantic after the challenge
races, whoever wins. This would be
good sport and a fine test OF seamanship
and the stability Of a yacht under vary
ing conditions"

Doctor Dussaud OF Paris has in
vented a cinematograph, by means Of
which blind persons a experience the
illusion Of moving objects as people
with sight do an Illuminated screen.
The apparatus consists Of a machine
that cause q series of ~reliefs, repre-
septing trees, birds or other objects,
to pass rapidly under the fingers. The
reliefs are so graduated that the deli
cate ems OF touch possessed by the
blind translates their variations into
apparent movements of the objects
represented. Doctor Dussaud employs
the apparatus mainly for educational
purposes. He has also devised a sys-
tenn OF electric Vibrations for convey
ing to the deaf an impression Of musl.

Colonel Bola nos. with five officers
an , forty-one rifles, has surrendered
at Lipa, Batangas province.
The recent battle with the insur-
gents at Lipa, in which Captain Spring
was wounded and Captain Wilhelm and
Lieutenant Lee were mortally wounded,
was begun by the Americans. The
disproportion in numer Of officers hit
is said to be chargeable to the fact
that there were several descrters from
the American army with the rebels.
