Mr.. al. Croxall, the attentive and |
accomplished clerk of the Cora S.,
we have a note giving an, account of
an accident to the Dean Line steamer
Minneola. We get also full particu-
lars from the veteran pilot Joseph |
Smith, who was at the9 wheel when
the disaster occurred. Mr.. Smith |

siderable distance, but finally caught,
and, bringing the boat to suddenly, |
the line parted, and the anchor was
lost; the boat, in the meanwhile,
floating down the river in helpless
condition. The Cora S. was signalled
and assisted in landing her at Grand
view. Mr. Smith, her pilot, came by
the Cora s. to this, city, and tele
gra pied for the Clifton to be sent to
to take her trip. He left by yes

for towboat with which to. take the |
Minneola back to Cincinnati for re-
pairs: The Minneola had a splendid |
trip aboard. The damage TO the boat
will be readily repaired, but the loss
of the trip and the loss of time will |
be quite damaging TO the Company. /
We sympathize with Captain Miller
in his misfortune. Mr.. Smith left |
with regret last night, as he had got |
accidentally a peep at 1zorastre and |
his nymphs. and had strong desire
to see them more. but he remember
