cold air dash directly in upon the lungs. chilling

Terrible Gnkr,nifu-

PHILADELPHIA, March l6-A terrible disaster
occurred on the Delaware river last night, oppo-
site this city. About halfpast nine o'clock, as the
feuyboat New Jersey was crossing the river from
this side to Camden, she took FIRE when in the
middle OF the stream, and, after great difficulty,
owing to the floating ice, was run upon the bar
opposite Arch street.
There were about 100 passengers on board
among whom the widest CONSERVATION prevailed.
Many jumped at once into the river-some cling
ing TO the floating ice until rescued by small boats
from the city--whst Others, not few, il is fear
ed, were drowned. The boat was burned to the
waters edge in a short time. How many lives
were lost it is impossible vet to ascertain Steam
ers were sent out Immediately to rescue the pas
sengers, but when they reached the SPOT all that
were able to keep af1oat in the water had been
saved by the small boats.
Among the missing are SaIe Carman, of Cam
den; little daughter OF Samuel Grierson, of Phil
adelphia; Edward Messchamp, formerly conductor
OF the Amboy Railroad; John Fdell, of Camden,
and large number of colored persons. The boat
belonged to the Philadelphia and Camden Ferry
Company. The loss of life resulted from the boat
not being provided with either small boats or life
preservers. &
Matthew Miller, Jr. broker; Mr. Howard, clerk,
and Mrs Shade and child, are also reported as
missing. ..-e
Captain james Robinson saved eight men and
two ladies in boat which he launched with the
assistance of another person. 1t is feared that the
loss of life will reach fifty. Many persons leaped
into the water with their clothes on FIRE. Miss
Carman was last seen with her clothing in blaze.
PHILADELrHIA, March Is, p. M.-Only one
additional body was found this afternoon, making
but three recovered altogether. They have been
recognised as Abraham Jamie and John Little OF
Camden, and Francis Fitzpatrick, of Philadelphia.
The two former were workmen returning home to
their families, and the latter was on visit to his
brother at Camden.
The origin Of the Are is not known. II burst up
suddenly from the fire ROOM and spreading to the
wood work the pilot house was quickly consumed
and fell in as the boat was nearing the wharf. rem.
dering her unmansgesbe from the dssrran cement
of the tiller chains. The head sheered off from,
the wharf, and the engine could not be stopped
because the engineer had been driven from his
post by the flames. The boat thus carried the few
remaining passengers on board away from the land
The number Of dead and missing Is about 80
The persons dead and missing mostly belong to
Camden. Very few belong to this city, and there
are no strangers missing.
