STEAMERS COLLIDE.
Clyde Liners IreQuois and
Apache Run Together in
Charleston fiarbOr.

Charleston, s. c., October 9.-The
Clyde steamers ~Iroquois and Apache
collided in this harbor. of Cummings
Point, shortly after 2 o'clock this MORN
ing. The latter vessel received damages
that forced her captain to run her
aground on Morris Island to prevent her
sinking. The bow Of the Iroquois was
badly used up but the ship was able to
turn about and return to her dock after
the accident. The Iroquois was out
ward bound for Jacksonville and the
Apache was inward bound for Charles
ton. The night was clear and there
was only a slight breeze. A mistake in
giving signals by Captain Bearse. Of the
Apache, or Captain Chichester, OF the
Iroquois, is said to be responsible for
the accident. No n was injured and
there was comparatively little excite
ment among h passengers. Neither
captain would say anything for pUbli-
cation regarding the accident. The
big ships came together with 8 tremen-
dous crash that could easily be heard
two miles away Many people on Sulli-
cans Island were awakened by the jar
ring and grinding noise as the powerful
timbers were shattered to splinters.
The Iroquois drove her sharp stem n
the other vessels hull on the port side
just at the break of the forecastle deck,
STAYING a gaping hole in her twenty
feet wide and extending below the wa
ter line. The bows of the 1rOQuOlS ten
feet on the ~starboard ali two feet on
the port side were wrecked and from
the hawser pipes up the stem was twist
ed and wrenched out of shape.
When the ships eXtricated themselves
from each other Captain Bearse shout
ed to the other skipper hat his ship
was filling rapidly and to prevent her
going down at once he ran her on the
sand at Cummings Point, about three
hundred yards distant.
This morning tugs and lighters went
to the relief of the Apache and began to
bring her freight to this water front,
where it will be slowed and shipped to
New York.
1t is yet impossible to estimate the
damage to the vessels or their cargoes.
The Apache lies easily and is in no
danger u a wrecking ship may be nee
essary to loaf her, as the efforts o. the
tugs today were of no avail The lro-
quois is being repaired here and will
sail in a few days for Jacksonville or
New York.
Captains Bearse and Chichester have
been sailing to this port for many years
and have a fine record for eamanshl
The Apache was on her second trip
since her recent remodeling. She was
heightened by fifty feet n otherwise
imporved to meet the needs of the SER
vices.
The Iroquois is one of the old vessels
of the line but she is still a first class
boat.

Goldsboro, n. c., October 9.-The pro-
fessional safe crackers is abroad in the
land and country merchants would do
we'll to sleep with their ears open. The
town of Dover, about 40 miles below
this city on the A. & n. c. railroad
was visited during the midnight hours
last night by burglars who are no
novices in the business. The wrecked
safe in the store of a Mr.. Wilson this
morning, is ample proof that profess
SIGNALS did the work. Clothing was
strewn over the store this morning
when Mr.. Wilson came down to open
his doors. Upon investigation, it was
found hat the SAT- had been demolish-
ed by dynamite and hat $3.50 was miss
ing from the a drawer. The bur-
glars did their work we'll and escaped
without having left any trace of their
identity.
There are a number of fake shows
and other attractions taking part In
the street fair at New Bern this week
and it is thought that some of the
fakirs who are following up the shows
are responsible for the safe cracking
which took place at Dover last night.
