1.-The officers of the Gig Of Madison
left word at our city on Saturday that the
Kate Nay had been destroyed by fire about
l o'clock that morning, while taking on
coal at Cannelton. The fire was occasioned
by sparks from the steamer Union igniting
the cotton on the bow of the boat. The
flames spread with such rapidly that the
boat and entire cargo were conumed, the
money and papers in the safe alone being
saved. Fortunately, the boat being at
tached to the wharfboat, the passengers
were enabled to make their escape, without
any lives being lost. < ..-.1 ....t
The Kate Nay was from the Arkansas
river, and had on board at the time of he
fire, about 700 bales of cotton, which she
was taking to Cincinnati. She was owned
principally in that city.
Newcomb's wharf-boat also took fire
from the Kate Nay, and was consumed be-
fore the flames could be extingushed
What the entire loss is we did not ascertain.
