- ANOTHER STEAMBOAT MURDER.--On Sat-
urday last the steamer Empire, on the Hud-
son, came in collision with s!oop about six
miles above PoughkeePsis. TIE boilers Of
the Empire exploded. and six or eight
persons were instantly killed, and some
twelve men were badly wounded. The
boat was crowded with passengers. Had
the catastrophe occurred, says The Herald,
at any other time than when most Of those
on board were asleep, no doubt the loss OF
life would have exceeded that produced by
any similar disaster on the same river for a
number OF years. '-' a..t -s-
