Last evening between 12 and 1 o'clock while the tug Glide was passing the foot of Long Island two of her barges, the Nebraska and Toledo, coal laden, ran on a mud bottom. Capt. Martin says that at the time the barges struck there was a very dense fog, and he found it difficult to navigate. He brought the Glide back to Kingston this morning and took down two light barges into which he lightened the stranded ones. They are not injured.
