good portion OF the audience Joined, and left them
Kissing hun with hearty good will. How the farce

EsrLosioS Board THE EDNA-we published yes
terday brief account of this disaster the Western
ters The following particulars from the ST. Louis
Bulletin and Republican OF the 4th inst.:-
The Edna reached the mouth ofhe Missouri river abou
onooclock on sunday morning and landed the outside
o. the steamboat atan which was ing a. the mouth. At
day light both boats made preparations to start but the
Edna lay in such position that il difficult for the
atan TO get away from the shore After waiting nearly
or quite hall an hour. the Iatan, with Difficulty got
away and proceeded onward The Edna shoy ed of i'm
medatey acrward and the bow was about one hundred
feet from the shore when both ues of her arboard boiler
collapsed scadng siNythree persons, and blowing over
board some two three.
The ues collapsed ore at tho forward and tbe tbor a
the after end OF the boiler sweeping the decks fore and
aft rhe latan Immediately dropped back to the Edna
and towed her 10 the Illinois shore when the Annawan
took her in tow and the laan tho city with DC of
the wounded in her cabin.
The Edna had been working her engine out of pear I'm
half an hour previous to shipping her wheels and it had
not been stopped than minutes at tho outside
when the accident happened The conclusion il rresis-
tbe that the water DISTRACTED in the supply pipe or
that the force pump was out Of order that the boilers
became short Of water.
Capt Eaton states that he is fully ofopnion that tho.
steam was not unnecessarily high he heard it escape
from the safety valve and did not make that appalling
noise which invariably attends the escape of bigb
Capt f. ia disposed to think that the accident is mainly
attributable to the unfncss of The rono which the ues
we're made He saws that an engineer GOOD iude
qualities OF iron had given his opinion the iron was
much too brittle for 1ues.
As the .atan and Edna lying together, and both
bound up the rver might be supposed that the accident
resulted from desire the part othe Edna to beat The
atan up Capt Eaton informs that it the ex press

the laan and for that purpose suffered atan to 20
ahead of herand as the Iatan light good run
ming trim, and the Edna heavily loaded is not sup
posed that the Edna would have selected time for trial
of speed when she labored under such dsadvan ages
Whatever blame (i was the result of csrelesness is to
be attached to this unfortunate disaster should be
table, in our opinion to the engineer duty-who in
nesecng to try the guage cocks, solely culpable
He has paid tho forfeit of his life for his neglect il was
! an act of carccssness.
F. s. II o'clock, P. M-We understand that 80 of the
scalded have since died.
The unfortunate sufferers by this accident were chiefly
German cmgrants; few OF the of the Edwin were
scalded among them the second engineer who is badI,
wounded; jumped overheard aAd from the confn-
sion and distress which prev allied eserday il is difficult
yet to tell how many were lost or who they None
OF the cabin passengers were injured The number
tanned to be badly scalded are SO men, women and Ii
childrn-l boy killed 1t is the opinion of some of the
| ply sicans that majority OF them will die.
The following is a list of the Germans They were
chiefly from Dusseldorf the Rhine Prussia and
what renders their case one OF peculiar hardship is that
this accident so fatal and serious TO all should have
Cured when they had braved the hour separation from
their friends and Kindred passed the and storms
