and elegant Louisville and New Orleans steamer

take a supply Of coal; twas her first trip this
season, and she had heavy load on board. Capt;

as follows: 700head of sheep, 30 head of cattle,
| 92 horses and 81 mues-most of this stock was in
sured. After the boat had been at the landing
nearly one hour, sheet of flame was discovered
| by the engineer, about the size of mans hat,
among some hay that was slowed near the furnaces.
The engineer attempted to get the doctor at work,
so as to throw water on the flames, but was unsuc-

storm which ragged with great violence from {
o'clock in the evening until near davbreak th
morning The wind blew in fitful gusts, at times
raging with tornado-like violence. In different
portions of the city chimneys were blown down
and in almost every business street up town avn
ings were ripped and torn to tatters. At brief in
tervals during the night, rain fell in torrents
flooding many downtown cellars and causing
heavy damage to property. Numerous basement
and cellars in the lower section of the first ward
occupied by poor families, were flooded, and the
occupants driven forth into the pitiless Storm
Several persons sought refuge the station houses
and were kindly cared for. In the city parks
, many of the trees were despoiled, and the tori
, branches scattered in every direction.
The shipping was badly chafed, and several yes
sells broke from their mOorings, but were secured
before drifting into the stream. At midnight nj
reports had been made at police headquarters o
