PANIC AMONG PEOPLE.
Excursion Boats Collide In New York
Harbor-1,5o0 Lives In Peril, but
There Were No Fatalities.

New York.-Two crowded excur-
sion steamers were in collision
Thursday night In New York harbor
of Staten Island, imperilling the lives
of 1900 persons, but neither In the
crash itself nor In the wild panic
which followed was anyone seriously
injured. The vessels we're the Per-
seus, bound for Coney Island with 500
passengers on board, and the Thomas
Patten, from Long Beach to New
York, carrying 1000 passengers. The
shrill whistles of the colliding steam
ers soon brought assistance from
boats In the bay and the frightened
passengers were transferred as quick
ly as possible and brought to this city.
The Perseus and the Patten interlock-
ed and neither sank.
The lower harbor was covered with
a dense fog at the time of the collision
and the two vessels we're running at
reduced speed.
When directly off st. George, s. L.,
the Patten crashed with terrific force
into the port side of the Perseus,
smashing the paddle wheel and box
and tearing away much of the joiner
work. The Patten's bow and upper
foredecks were badly damaged. The
impact was so great that the vessels
remained fast together. No effort was
made by the Patten to break away,
however, for 1t was felt that safety
from sinking lay in vessels remaining
interlocked.
When the Patten loomed suddenly
out Of the fog bank and 1t was seen
that a collision was unavoidable, the
passengers on the two vessels became
frantic with fear. Just before the
crash one man on the Perseus jumped
overheard. He was quickly rescued,
A hasty examination indicated that
neither boat was In immediate danger
Of going down and the excursionists
were assured of this fact. Meantime
the whistles we're calling assistance,
and while the passengers were rush
ing about the decks seeking relatives
and friends, the excursion boat Com
modore and a Staten Island municipal
ferry boat ranged alongside. The
transfer Of passengers was quickly
made and all were brought to the city.
During the panic many women
tainted and some were bruised, but
not seriously.

BURTON GIBSON HELD.
Verdict Of Coroner's Jury In Khan
Murder-Unknown Person Killed
Mrs, kinan.

New York-Burton w. Gibson,
formerly counsel for Mrs. Alice
Kinan, who was mysteriously MUIR
dered on the night of June in the old
homestead in the Bronx occupied by
her mother, Mrs. l.. NJ. Stenton, and
herself, was Tuesday night committed
to the Tombs by order of Coroner Nc
Donald in default of $25,000 bail. This
action followed the close of the coro-
ner's inquest Tuesday night, when the
jury brought in a verdict that Mrs.
Khan was murdered by a person or
persons unknown and recommended
that Gibson be held for examination
by the grand jury.
Gibson occupied the stand during
the greater part of Tuesdays session.

him to defend squatter proceedings
which had been instituted against her
property and establish her right to
title. After prolonged litigation the
property was sold in September, 1905,
for s65,000, ostensibly to Archibald NJ.
Mcfarland, but in reality to Gibson,
and nine months later was resold for
$4,000. 10
OF the profit Gibson admitted $780,
900 was to go to himself and the re-
mainder to his father, Mcfarland and
John Kelly, who were associated in
the deal. 1t appeared that the only
money received by Mrs. Stenton was
$4,000, given to her by a lawyer, Ash
ton, who acted with Gibson In the
legal proceeding.
Gibson admitted that after the MUIR
der he had visited the Stenton house
and had removed certain documents
and articles Of value. This, he claim
ed, he had a right to do, and declared
that he had notified the police at that
time,
