She refused medical attention ana took
the next boat back TO Hoboken
The f. j. Berwind is the property OF
the Berwind-White Coal and Mining Com
pany OF Broadway. She was proceeding
slowly up the river with a heavy tow and
hit the Hamburg at right angles. The
heavy guard which rurs around the ferry
boat at the deck line prevented the tugs
PROV from hitting into the Hamburg, bat
the shock Of the collision threw her heavily
to port.
The Hamburg is a double-decked screw
boat. The blow on her guard sprung the
deck sufficiently to crumple the lightly
built side of the cabin, breaking four
of the big windows and splitting some Of
the woodwork, A hole was punched in
the cabin floor, but the hull was unchanged.
The weather was perfectly clear at The
time of the crash. Capt. Marsh Of the
Hamburg lays the blame Of the collision
on the Berwind's pilot who, he says, tried
to cross the Hamburg's bow contrary to
his signals.
The ferryboat was safely in her slip before
the passengers had time to get scared.
After unloading the boat proceeded under
her own steam to the company's repair
shops in Hoboken.

found dead Yesterday morning In his studio
IN tho Knickerbocker Building, at 2 West
Fourteenth street. He had committed
suicide by inhaling gas, and had been dead
for about two days, Those who knew
Wilson said that he had become discouraged
by his failure to obtain fame as an artist,
a magazine editor having rejected the first
sketches which he had submitted. He
had broken his brushes and scattered his
drawings on the floor before he killed him
self.
Wilson, who was a graduate Of the Uni
versity Of Kentucky, came to this city from
his horne in Russeville, Ky, last year,
Yesterday morning when Charles S, Rosen.
a fellow artist, who shared the studio with
Wilson. returned from few days outing
in the country. he found the studio door
locked. He knocked repeatedly, but got
no response. Then he summoned the
janitor, who forced open the door.
They found the young artist lying dead
on q couch in the room. with rubber tube,
one end of which was attached to an open
gas Jet, in his mouth. In front Of the couch
on a chair were the sketches which had been
rejected by the magazine editor, his other
drawings being scattered all over the room
Wilson had put on hi1 best clothes before
turning on the gas. Five cents was all
the money found among his effects A
sealed letter addressed to Mrs. Briggs Of
R,lsselviIle, Ky, his sister, was also found,
az was note requesting that in case Of
acc ident J. B. Briggs, Jr, Russeville, ny,
