New Draped ScarfS.

From the Philsdeiphis Public Ledger.
Girls who do not care to carry scarfs
in brilliant colors around their shoulders
are now fastening them to the frock in a
picturesque manner.
They use them with the empire gown
and the medieval one with its broad
one-piece back. which hangs from the
shoulders The scarf Is made OF gold
or silver tissut, which most OF the shops
handle these days Il IS bordered with
gold or silver fringe, Is looped across the
figure at the back above the waistline and
caught al each shoulder with an ornate
buckle
One end usually hangs straight down
the back to the hem Of the gown, and the
other short end forms the sleeve drapery
that drops to the elbow.
Sometimes these scarfs are hordarnd
with fur and give a court-like look TO
splendid velvet or satin frock.

COLLECTOR HOLDS UP SHIP;
BUT FINDS HE IS MISTAKEN
Bryde Line Skipper Protests Against
Tonnage Fee and Gets Charge
Reduced.

When Captain Aamundsen or the
BRIDE Line steamer Noreuga appeared
at the local customs house after office
hours on Monday afternoon, Collector
of Customs j. 4. b. Stuart refused to
allow the vessel to clear until GER
tain amount of tonnage dues which
the collector was under the impress
sion should have been collected by
the Norfolk customs house when the
vessel cleared from that port on her
last trip to Cuba some months ago
were paid.
II seems that the snip entered at
the local customs house from Chris
tiana. Norway, from which port the
tonnage rate is three cents per ton
for entry into this country. Captain
Stuart was under the impression tha,
this rate was six cents per ton, ami
informed the captain that he cou'd
net clear his ship until that rate was
paid and when the skipper Informed
him that he had clea cd his ship from
Norfolk at the three cent rate, the COL
lector told him that he weUid nave
to paw the difference between tle
three cent rate and the six cent rae
which wss not collected in Norfolk and
held up the clearance of the vessel
Captain AamuDdscn protested
strongly against paying the six cent
rate and after some discussion Cap
tan Stuart called the Norfolk Customs
House up on the long distance phone
After a consultation with the collec-
tor of that port, he discovered that
the three cent rate was the correct
one and issued Captain Aamundsen
his papers.
When seen at the customs mousse
Captain Stuart stated yesterday alter
noon that the matter was simply a
mistake on the part OF the local once
force and that he was sorry It had
occurred. but that he was under the
impression that the six cent rate was
the correct one. He went on to say
that he regretted that the matter had
caused any delay in handling OF me

Car Float, Fatally Hurt.
STRUCK BY SCHOONER CREW
Craft Came Together OFF Old Point
Both Pilots Being Blinded by Search
lights From Fort-srcught to Yard
for Survey.

While bound out to sea enrOute from
this port to Boston in tow of the tug
Edna V. Crew, the big five masted,
coal laden schooner Baker Palmer,
Captain Smeed crashed into the New
York, Philadelphia and Norfolk Raj
road barge No. 2, which was bound
from Cape Charles to Norfolk in tow
of the tug Portsmouth, shortly after
dark near Old Point Tue sday night.
The bowsprit of the big sailing craft
struck the barge on the port side amid
ships and crushing her bridge and up
per works into a mass OF run and
tearing a big hole in her own bow
from the deck line to the waters edge.
Four of the cars on the deck of the
float were carried overheard and lost.
Captain Fatally Hurt.
Captain John b. Davis, who was on
the bridge of the car-foat at the
time of the collision was thrown to
the deck of the float, twenty feet be-
low and run over by one of the cars
which had been set in motion by the
collision. and was injured so badly
that he died yesterday in ST. Vincents'
hospital in Norfolk. His son, Shelby
Davis, who also was on the bridge
with him was seriously injured by be-
ing thrown to the deck by the force
of the collision.
According to the reports of the acci-
dent the search lights which were
playing about on the water from the
Fort blinded the pilots of the two
boats and they did not realize the TWO
vessels we're as close together as they
were until the crash came.
Both Vessels.
Both vessels were brought to the
sh.pyard yesterday for survey and re-
pairs and both seem to have suffered
severely in the collision. The big
scnooner's bow is torn up from her
forward rail to her water line, and the
port side Of the bridge and shell plat
ing of the float are badly damaged.
A survey will be held on both yes
SEES today TO ascertain the extent
o. damage sustained. and they will be
repaired at the local plant. Shipping
men who saw both vessels at the yard
place the approximate cost Of making
repairs TO the vessels at $4,000 Tor
the Palmer. and about $1,000 for the
barge.
