Scandinavian HAEE COLLISIONS, a Loaded with Passengers, the New Jersey, of the Pennsylvania Line, Bumps Her} Way to New York Slip, and Women Faint and Try to Jump Overboard. Three Men Are Painfully Hurt, avd Ambulances Come on Hurry Calls When the Boats Land, but Happily There Is No Loss of Life. While groping her way up the North River from Jersey City to the Desbrosses street slip in a dense fog to-day the Pennsylvania ferry-boat New Jersey crashed into three other ferry-boats, creating a series of panics among the passengers, three of whom were injured seriously, and doing damage that will cost $5,000 to repair. More than fifty passengers in the various collisions, most of them women, were so badly shaken up and unnerved that they were unfit to attend to business to-day and returned to their homes in New Jersey. The most serious collision was the one between the New Jersey and the Erie ferry-boat Passaic, the second in the New Jersey’s list. The Passaic hit the New Jersey on the women’s cabin side, tearing a big hole in the planking. Twelve women fainted, and when the New Jersey poked her nose into the Desbrosses street slip soon afterward twenty more tried to leap from the deck to a raft. For a time it looked as if.there would be loss of life, but the deckhands acted promptly and prevented the women from jumping. WOMEN CARRIED OFF UNCONSCIOUS. | As the boat bumped into the bridge at the end of the slip Policeman |Gray jumped aboard and assured every one that all danger was past. In the ‘enbin he found five women in a dead faint, Deckhands carried them into the waiting room of the ferry-house, while Gray telephoned to Police Head- |quarters for all tho available ambulances in the neighborhood. Two were isent from St. Vincent’s Hospital and two more from Hudson Street, One of the latter had already answered a call at the foot of Chambers street, for passengers injured in a collision between the Ridgewood, an ‘Brie Railroad ferry, and the New Jersey. The clanging of the ambulance bells brought a big crowd to the Des- | brosses street ferry-house, and added to the intense excitement. The four ambulance surgeons went among the women who had fainted and after re- ; storing them plastrd up cut hands and seratched cheeks. A number of |persons refused the proffered attention of the surgeons because their injur- les were slight. Every one suffered more or less from shock, The heavy fog settled over the river just as the New Jersey left her slip on the other side, bound for New York. Fog bells were ringing all along the river front. The pilot of the New Jersey reduced her speed one-half and kept his whistle tooting. He'could not see twenty feet away. A DOUBLE COLLISION. When off Chambers street the New Jersey was rammed by the Erie ferry-boat Ridgewood on the men's cabin side. The two boats drifted apart |and swung around with the tide, the heavy ice floe forcing them together ‘again, jamming the bow of the New Jersey into the side of the Ridgewood, tearing away part of the men’s cabin. Men aud women on both the crowded boats ran about in a panic, They trampled over each other in their endeavor to get life-preservers. Deck hands ran about the cabins calling upon the passengers to keep cool. Both | vessels blew danger signals and tugs came hurrying out, The Ridgewood was towed to her slip at Chambers street, while the New Jersey continued on her way up the river tooting her whistle, Aboard the New Jersey the only injuries to passengers were a few | | (Continued on Seventh Page.)

The present and former feather-weight champions will meet in the arena of the Hayes Valley Club, of San Francisco, on the night of March 31.

He telegraphed the Fort Erie Club, asking them if they would postpone the match which Mc- Govern had on with Bennie Yanger for the 16th of March. The manager re~ pled: “Yes, if you will let half of your forfeit go and fight Yanger in May,’* Sam Harris does not ilke to lose money but he thought It over and concludod that he could get more by accepting the offer of the Hayes VUiley Club to fight Young Corbett, so he agreed to let half his Fort Erie forfelt money ga. ‘Then he answered a cable from Eng- land concerning McGovern's match wita Ben Jordan. The manager of the Na- tlonal Sporting Club was anxious to know whether McGovern would come over or not, ready to fight, In the middle of April. Harris felt compelled to de- cline because he thinks Terry would need about six weeks to get acclimated and ready for such a contest in a strange country, The MoGovern party has shown their eagerness to fight Young Corbett. They have given up considerable to accept the date offered by the ‘Frisco Club. Young Corbett has already said that it will suit him, the conditions have all been talked over long ago and agreed upoa, so there remains practically nothing but the referee to be selected. This will be done when Harris and Terry arrive in San Francisco. Terry is in splendid shape now and can easily keep In good form.
