FULL SPEED IN TIE FOG|
Outgoing Ocean Liner Narrowly
 Escaped Hitting the Nubia.

Only for the Quick Work of the Man
 at the Wheel There Would Have
 Been a Crash-The Incoming Steam
 CT Was Preparing to Anchor Until
 the Fog Raised.
 New York, Aug 12.-The Hamburg American line steamer Nubia, from China and Japan, which has reached this port had a narrow escape from collision with the great transatlantic racer, Kronprinz Wilhelm, yesterday afternoon. The Nubia was feeling her way in the dense fog. Captain Von Hoff estimated that he was about eight miles east of Sandy Hook ightsAip and he decided to anchor.
 The Nubia had barely changed her steam whistle fog signals to those of bells when a steamer loomed up in the fog, blowing hoarse blasts, and a col lision was imminent. Almost instantly the approaching stranger appeared to see the Nubia, gave a short sheer to port and passed close under the stern of the anchored vessel. The passing craft was the Kronprinz Wilhelm, going at full speed outward, bound from New York for Bremen.

THE COW BROKE AWAY.
Raised High links for Time and Al
 But Jumped Over the Moon.

Raised High links for Time and All
 But Jumped Over the Moon.
 A COW that was being led by small boy broke away from him on North Elm street this forenoon and raised high jinks for quite a while. Such fun and excitement was not witnessed on that street in a quarter of a cen tury. The animal was turning the corner of Kingsbury street when it took fright and made straight for q small grocery store few doors above Culhane's saloon. It made off with a pair of child's shoes that were on the sidewalk, kicked daylight out of a toy express wagon, scared the wits out of the store keeper and brought the cob bier on the opposite side of the street to his door in such hurry that he stuck his awl into the side of a wo- man who was apparently paralyzed with fear. The woman would not stand for such tickling as this and gave the man a jab in the ear. The COW by this time was raising ructions in Con- tractor Delowry's yard and all the children of the neighborhood were ;n the greatest excitement. Women were screaming to their progeny to get home, while the progeny were scream ing at the distracted bovine which was knocking splinters out of Contractor Delowry's lumber. One small boy, braver than the rest, went nearer the excited animal than he afterwards found was good for his safety for he went home roaring with pain from a swish of the cows tail across his eyes. When the contractors yard had no J more attraction for the COW it chased itself up the street and reached the corner of North Elm and Maple ave nue as the factory whistles were blow ing. The unusual noise and the rush of humanity frof1ssbehind the factory gates evidently scared the wits out of the COW for it ran up the street as fast as it could go.
