The steamers. Maryland and Tivoli,
of the Baltimore, Chesapeake and
Atlantic Railway Company's fleet
eollided on Tuesday night, about
o'clock, when about 40 miles out Of
Baltimore. The Ice WAS very thick
and the Tivoli was going down the
track broken by the ice boats, but
suddenly stopped. The chief mate
was in charge OF the Maryland, the
captain being at supper. He thought
the Tivoli was moving and In the
dark saw the steamer too late. He
rang for all steam backward but
could not stop the collision. The two
boats crashed together, passenger
stating that 1t sounded like cracking
thunder. 1t tore q space 60 feet long
out Of the port side of the Maryland,
and you could see all inside the sa-
loon Of the Tivoli. There were few
passengers on both boats and all
were at supper. This was fortunate
as some ststerooms were torn out.
The entire damage Is estimated at
between 5000 and $4,000. A serious
calamity was narrowly averted as
both boats were so stove together
that the freight had to be transferred
to the opposite sides and all steam
gotten on before they could be got
ten apart. When the Maryland ar
rived In Onancock harbor 1t was
thought advisable not to keep on up
the Pocomoke River, but to return
10 Baltimore.
