sTEAMERSIN COLLISION.

In broad daylight and bright sur
shine, collision which might have re-
suited in a dreadful calamity occurred in
New York harbor yesterday afternoon
between an incomingpassenger liner and
an outbound freight steamer. The Mail
steamship Liguria, of the Italian Royal
Steamship Company, with over !, ,lOo
persons on board, WAS run down III tn,
Narrows by the British steamer Peconlc.
of the Mediterranean and New YORK
Steamship Company, bound out for ports
in the Mediterranean. A succession OF
whistle blasts, just how many blown
could not be learned, was followed by a
tremendous crash, and the Peconic' ;
bow smashed into the hull Of the Ligurla
lust forward of the foremast. The ltil-
ian liners hull was cut to the water 5
edge and water poured into the aper-
ture. The Peconic, as she drilted away,
scraped the white hull Of the Liguria
and carried away the companion ladder
The bow of the Peconic on the port side
was stove in and the stem turned to
starboard. On board the liner all was
confusion for few mi lute', but Cap
tain Montana restored order promptly
and forced the steerage passengers over
to the starboard side, in order to
bring the hole, cut by the Peconic,
above the water. This effort was so
successful that very little water entered
the liner. The pilot who brought the
Liguria into port, Frank Kramer, was
little disposed to talk, but said that the
fault was all with the PecOnic. lie SAID
the Liruria was coming along slowly
towards the Narrows. The Peconic and
tbe British steamer Antillia, bound out
for Nassau, were steaming to sea a short
distance apart when the Pecomc blew
two whistles and then changed the sig
mails. The Liguria sheered to starboard
and then back at full speed. The
impact came with terrific force, the SOUND
being heard on the shore. The Peconi'
was so damaged that she returned fol
repairs. The Liguria after the inspec-
ton of passengers at quarantine proceed
ed to her dock. On board the ltallar
liner were 2l saloon, 20 second cabin
and 965 steerage passengers. There
were no casualties on bord the Ligurla
nor on the Peconic. The latter vesse
was in charge of Pilot Charles Thompson
and was deeply laden.

They take their gowns and their fur

as a matter Of course. They are I'M

and they expect every one else to be
equally SO. IF they see an intimate

their comment with an apology Their
