Z A-'c'iiLfS ciEAAiboAT DISASTER.
4 FIFTY Or SIXTY LIES Losr,
I The painful intelligence OF The blowing
up OF the boilers on board The steamer
General Brown. Is Confined by accounts
received IRON the Empress and Con.
HARRISON, which arrived yesterday morn.
ing. The explosion occurred on the 18th
inst. al Helcaa, where the Broxn was IL.
ing To for freight or passengers. and is at.
tribuled to the neglect Of the Engineer in
not letting OF the steam IN sufficient ouan.
h,ies. The effects OF the accident v ere
tngh'fuily and awfuliy destructive. The
ioree oi The explosion was 30 great as 10
throw the boilers out of the boat upon
The bank. The other boilers were torn 20
fragments and scattered in every direction.
and the entire boiler deck, extending an
as far as the door OF the main cabin wa.
carried away and tossed into the river and
upon the shore. The number of killed
and missing. and the names Of the suffer.
es' are stated IN the list subjoined.-
Here ~e have another example OF the ef.
iccts OF steamboat raeing-a pernicious
and atrocious practice. which con,it ues
To make havoc OF human lille on our wa.
ters. IN spite of the restraints and penal.
ties imposed by the law and the denun.
cations OF the public Press. A. the affair
VIII become subject Of legal inyestiga.
hon. we refrain from further comment.
ltnow appears that the sacrifice of hu.
man lite vas much greater than was at
h'st stated. the killed, dro~ ned and
wounded being conjec,ured to amount 10
hitv or sixty persons, or more.
len OF those very dangerously wound
ed. were found aud taken care of. Mr.
Long, one of the victims, leli through IN.
skyi'ght Of a boat at tho wharf and died
on being picked up. The greater number
OF the horses were killed. From the Sc.
cond state room in the cabin forward all
was blown up, and all parties agree in
me TACT that the explosion arose from the
Engineer holding on TO the steam, with
the intent, II IS supposed. OF overtaking
The Empress which was passing quietly
on Der way.
or 10 Gerna, laborers intended for
The ticksburs Rail Road, Only 3 were
found alive after the accident.
One way passenger, an inhabi,ant of
Helena had scarcely put bis foot on board
before the explosion sent him into eterni-
" even while his wife. family. and
menus "cIc otuuibS MN farewell. -
Owing TO the fact that but few OF The pas
sengers had registered their names. il is
Impossible 10 come al an accurate list of
the sufferers. Among them is Mr.. Ho.
race Blanchard, an esiimable citizen Of
Vicksburg, whose BODY was found stript
10 the waist and floating near the bank,
about mile aud hall below On hi,
person, sewed into his linen, was found a
sum OF money amounting To SlI 900.
which with other valuab,es were given 10
his friend and iownsman MI. George. who
