DREADFUL ACCIDENT ON THE
GULF.
A Steamer With an Excursion Party
ExplOdes Her Boilers.
Fifty or Sixty Killed.

MOBILE, Ala, August %.
The low pressure steamer Ocean Wave,
exploded her boilers at halEpast 8 O'Clock
Sunday afternoon, at the wharf at Point
Clear. There were about two hundred
cxcursionisls on board, fifty or sixty Of
whom were killed and wounded. A por-
tlon of the bodies were brought to this city
by the steamers Fountain and Annie last
night The others will be brought here
to-day. Efforts are being made for tho re.
cOvery Of the bodies OF those that were
drowned. The cause of the disaster has
not been asCertained, but an investigation
will be made. Seven persons, comprising
one creole family, were killed. The Cap.
tain, engineer and pilot were also killed.
Only three Of the officers escaped.
The steamer Ocean Wave left this city
Sunday morning, with about 200 persona
on board for an excursion to Fish river,
about twenty miles from hero. On the
return trip the boat reached Point Clear
at . r. NJ. and was made fast. Tho band
and part Of the passengers went ashore,
and after lapse Of mn hour tho whistle
was blown and oil repaired TO the boat.
They had just got aboard when the boiler
exploded with great force, followed by
rumbling, kissing sound, and the frag-
ments OF timhCrs and metal OF the boiler
were blown in every direction. The for.
ward part OF the cabin was carried away
and the chimney fell upon the after cabin
and crushed II. The boat almost imme-
llatcly sunk. Her bow Is now submerged.

Those who believe in the cycle theory
must conclude this part Of the world has
recently entered cycle of disasters by
steam explosions and railway collisions
Close on the slaughter by the Westileld
Explosion were couple oil steamer expln'
sions on Long Island Sound, the "Star.
buck" and tug Carrie" Just on the
heel of these comes the awful disaster by
rail near Boston, and aim ost simultaneous,
| ly collision on the Erie s. Philadelphia
road, equally frightful though less fatal
Now comes the blowing up of an exCur-
sion steamer in the bay near Mobile,
whereby about half q hundred lives are
lostand a large number are mangled and
scalded.
The remedy for all such accidents lies
in prevention, As they are invariably
traced to criminal carelessness some
where, it is Obvious that more stringent
regulations for the employment OF steam
on vessels and for the running Of railway
trains, and n more rigid enforcement of
the responsibility OF those in charge, are
needed If the driver of locomotive or
the engineer on n steamer knew that 90
years in the State prison would be the
penalty Of Carelessness resulting in Scci.
dent, accidents would be far less frequent
than now. But men will be careless
anywhere, so long as their responsibility
is only nominal, and so long us they are
careless these periodical slaughters will
