Another Terrible Steamboat Disaster.

--.s CINCINNATI, Jan. IL, z. NJ.
The steamer Blue Ridge, from Kanawha
for Cincinnati, when near Gallopolis, ex-
ploded on Saturday night, about / o'clock,
ourtng severe snow Storm. The plosion
was most terrific. reducing the boat to 4
perfect wreck. The cabin over the boilers,
together with the hull, sunk imnedi ately.
The after portion Of the cabin floated off.
with all those who had escaped from the
explosion. They were taken from their
slender portion Of the wreck abou. eight
miles below the scene of disaster. -.5'
We are unable to arrive at any Just con.
clusion, in reference to the number lost.
There were 10 persons On board, Of whom
20 or 80 persisted, mostly passengers from
kenawha and Galliopolis. But few, per-
sons were able to save any thing, in. the
hurry and anxiety for personal safety
Many were forced to go ashore in their
night clothes, not having sufficient time to
hunt up their apparel. The cause of the
explosion undoubtedly was that of defec-
tive boilers, those on board having been
used for nine vears.-PIks. Post.
