CLEVELAND, OHIo, April 30.
While the steamer Anthony Wayne was passing
from this city towards the town of Vermillion, she
burst her boilers nearly opposite the latter place,
and from thirty eight to forty persons were killed.
The explosion occurred about one O'Clock yester-
day morning. An extra Of the True Democrat gives
the following account Of the terrible affair:
The first mate of the Wayne states that she came
to Sandusky with ten steerage passengers and
twenty in the cabin. From Sandusky she took
twenty four passengers, and her crew, numbering
thirty more, making in all eighty four souls on
board. Nineteen of the crew and thirty of the
passengers are saved, likely to recover
The total loss in killed and missing, as far as
could be ascertained, is put down at from thirty
1--WE to forty passengers.
After the explosion the schooner Elmira was
hailed. The killed, wounded, and those saved,
were put on board of her and tai ken to Sandusky
The Anthony Wayne old boat and not in
the regular line with the Buffalo and Sandusky
steamers She was owned by Charles Howard, of
Detroit, and insured for ten thousand dollars.
The accounts vary as to the number on board at
the time of the explosion.
