CARRIES A DRY DOCK AND MANY CARPENTERS DOWN WITH IT. The Ingalls Slips from Her Blocks In the Dry Dock at the Erie Basin, and Ship and Dock G Down In Fifty Feet of Water. .iNfcw i orK, June 14. While tho United States transport Ingalls was in the balance dry dock at the Erie basin, ooutn Brooklyn, this afternoon, wher she was about to undergo extensive rp pairs, she suddenly slipped from the blocks and capsized. One man is known to have been killed and many injured. mere was about 240 carpenters. chinists and other laborers at work on tne vessel and dock at the time. It is supposed that the vessel was thrown from an even keel by a ballast im properly placed, or by the shifting of the blocks on which she rested, causing ner to list to starboard, driving the shoring beams through the rotten walls of the old-fashioned dry dock in wnicn sne was cradled. Besides the mechanics and other workmen, which crowded the vessel and dock, arenar- ing her for a voyage to Manila, there were supposed to have been about 30 Italian laborers in the hold of the ship employed in shifting the iron bal last. While the workmen were trying to escape, the dock itself over balanced by the weight of the ship, turned on its side and sank in 50 feet of water. A number of men were borne down into the water and jammed under and be neath the wreckage which rose to the surface. How many were caught could not be learned to night. Martin An derson, a painter, was caught under the descending side of the ship and killed. Others were dragged out of the water badly injured or half drowned, and hurried to the hospitals. Added to ths horror of tonight was the uncertainty of the fate of the men in the vessel's hold.Some managed to get to the deck and leap intc the water as the vessel was sinking, but it is feared that the majority were less fortunate. The Ingalls went into the dry dock at 11:30 this morning, and aijout $30: 000 was to have been expended on her repairs. The lock in which she was placed was a very old one, having been constructed over 50 years ago. An ef fort was made to close the gate at thi time of the accident, but was unsuc cessful. No one could be found who could give any estimate of the amount of damage the disaster had entailed. In Memoriam. Mrs. Marks, who died at Proximi ty, was sick several week and she bore her sickness with all the patience a saint of God could until the even ing of June 8, just as the sun was go ing over the western hills the death agel came and found a soul that was ready to go, and bore her to that heavenly home where all is joy and lov and parting will be no more. She often expressed herself as being ready to meet Jesus if he should come in the clouds of glory or call for her. She was a true saint of God, and I have heard this saint of God often testify to the saving and sactifying power of God. She professed it and lived it. How blessed are they that die in the Lord. She was a good mother and leaves several children to mourn her loss. May God lead them in the path she has trod until: they go where she is, in the city of Gpd. , She was a sister of th sick and al ways ready to speak a word of comfort to the down hearted, to cheer them up, and there is no doubt but that her crown will shine with stars for those she has lead to God. She was 49 years of aee. It is parth'a loss and heaven's gain. " May the turf ever be srreen on the spot where this saint is laid. May the pearly dew and the refreshing rain fall gently upon the sod, and the winds of Heaven breathe over it soft and low, while in Heaven she is at rest. R. E. ANDREWS. Greensboro, N. C, June 14.

DISASTER Hi NEW YORK HARBOR FERRY BOAT SINKS WITH HUNDREDS OF PASSENGERS. A Staten Island Boat Rammed by the Cen tral Railroad's Ferry Boat ftlauch Chunk at the Staten Island Slip Between 806 and 1,200 People Were on the Staten Island Boat. New York, June 14. The wooden :sidewheeler Northfield, which has been in the service of the Staten Iisland Fer ry Company for the past 38 years, was rammed tonight by the steel-hulled propeller Mauch Chunk, used as a ferry boat by the Central Railroad of New Jersey. The collision occurred just off the Staten Island ferry slip at the foot of Whitehall street, and in less than 10 minutes after, the Northfield, which was crowded with passengers, sank at the outer end of the Spanish Line pier in the East River. The Mauch Chunk, which was badly damaged, landed the two dozen passengers which were aboard her. Over 100 passengers of the sunken Northfield were dragged out of the water by people along shore and the crews of the fleet of river tugs, which promptly responded to the ferry boat's call for help. A few of the N'ortfield's pasengers were hurt in the accident and the police believe that some lives were lost. Capt. Daniel Gul ly, of the tug boat Mutual, who saw the ferry' boats crash together, says that immediately after the collision be tween 25 and 30 passengers leaped into the water and that many of those per ished. Captain Gully also declares that he is sure over 100 of the Northfield's passengers were drowned. The captains of other tug boats who were early on the scene, however, are inclined to think that the disaster was not so ser ious as regards loss of life. Thus far no dead bodies have been recovered. The reason for such a differences of opinion as to the extent of the disaster is that the wildest excitement prevail ed on the Nortfield. The tug Mutual saved in all about 75 passengers from the Northfield, and the tugs Unity and Arrow saved between them 150 pas sengers. Two policemen of the Old Slip itation claim to have rescued nearly thirty people between them. As soon as the crowd which had followed the sinking ferry boat along the riverfront were able to render any aid, the work ed with a will and in many instances men sprang into the water to save life. The greatest service was rendered by the tug boats, which as soon as it was possible, circled around the Northfield and made a bridge to the Spanish Lin3 pier and men and women clambered over the tugs to the shore. The swift lunning flood tide and the question of which boat had the right of way was the cause of the disaster. Captain Abram Johnson was in charge of the Northfield and Captain S. C. Griffin was in command of the Mauch Chunk.Each lays the blame for the collision on the other. PETRIFIED APRICOT. One on Exhibition in Hisrli o Point Thought to be Over 100 Year Old. Correspondence of The Telegram. High Point, June 15. Mr. A. J. Croker, late of the 29th volunteer in- fantry.United States army.and on duty n the Philippine Islands from Novem ber 2, 1899 to March 23, 1901, arrived at his home here last week. In his possesion Mr. Crooker has a valuable and interesting curiosit'. It is a per fect specimen of of a petrified apri cot which was given to him by a Span ish lady at Catbalogan, province of Samar, Philippine Islands. One hun dred and three years ago the lady's great grand father had a orchard on the spot where the curiosity was found 23 years ago. The specimen though over 103 years old, looks just like it had been plucked from the tree, but is fs as heavy as lead itself. Mr. Crook er declined an offer of $250 In gold for it, and the Simthsonian Institute says it is worth $600. Probable this insti tution will get the curiosity. Mr. Crooker was with Gen Lawton when the latter was killed. He says that the opportunities to make money In the Philippines are many and that the cli mate is not so bad. Mr. Crooker has a good memory and relates in an interesting and profita ble ,way all that ame jCnnder his ob servation while in this part of Uncle 9 - T t Opportune Bargains.
