Fall River Steamer Narrowly Escapes
 Wreck on Newport.

Fall River Steamer Narrowly Escapes Wreck on Newport. NEW YORK, June 21.-Occupants of thirty staterooms on the starboard side of the sound steamer Rhode Is- land narrowly escaped death or injury when the vessel was in collision with a coal barge in Narragansett bay.
 The woodwork of three decks for a distance of 125 feet was torn away, but the officers declare that not single person aboard was hurt.
 The Rhode Island, which is owned by the Neptune line, plies between Fall River and New York. The steam CT was proceeding through Narragan- sett bay in thick fog at night when the crash happened.
 E! The momentum of the steamer car Iried her along with the projecting Ibowsprit of the coal barge tearing at her woodwork. All woodwork as we'll as metal supports for the three decks as far back as the starboard paddle wheel was carried away.
 The doors of more than thirty out side staterooms were ripped open and carried away. Why score or more of passengers were not victims of the collision was one of the fortunate phases of the collision.
 ] Prompt operation of the pumps alone kept the water from gaining and sink ing the steamer.
 There were about seventy-five pas sengers aboard the Rhode Island.
