A Man FRieHTEsEDro DEArn.-Loyd's
forthcoming Steamboat Directory gives a
singular account of a man being frightened
to death on board the steamer Jas. Robb,
during her trip on the Mississippi River in
1882 The boat took FIRE IN the night, and
the cry of fire, fire, fire, soon aroused all the
passengers, and the widest excitement pre-
vailed. Women were running TO and fro in
their nightdresses, screaming at the top of
their voices for assistance. One man, Mr..
j. c. Dent, OF New York, in his excitement
rushed into his sieteroom, snatched up bis
trunk, which contained $4,000, carried it
few steps and then fell dead in the cabin
from excessive fright. The fire was SUBJ
dued.
