The Champion had about 1000 worth
Of pork, furniture and other light
freight on board, small portion Of
which may be saved. Not the least OF
the loss resulting from the destruction
OF the steamers Champion, Robinson
and Abeona, is the fact that they are
the last of class OF boats which were
fitted for the trades in which they were
employed, and it will be difficult to sup
ply their places. The total loss is estl'
mated between 100000 and 100000
Later.
CINCINNATI, March THE reports
in regard to the loss Of life by the
steamboat fire last night, are very con-
flicting. The most careful inquiry,
however, has failed to obtain any def
mite information. Several persons re-
port that others were behind them
when they escaped, and that they
watched in vain for their appearance
by the only means of egress. Others
report that they saw persons on the
St. Charles after escape was cut off and
that they must have perished. The
captains and officers of the different
boats report that as far as their knowl-
edge goes, all connected with the boats
are safe, and have reported to-day, so
that if any one was lost it must have
been some stragglers who slipped on
the boats to sleep or else went on after
the fire started with view to plunder
The insurance loss on the boats and
cargoes will not exceed one hundred
thousand dollars and is all in Gin
cinuati companies, with the exception
of twenty-one hundred dollars in
Wheeling companies.
