seven and eight O'Clock. The city was en-
veloped in . thick cloud of dust. which

Who were on the incoming trains, and the
wind blew with frightful violence. The
steamer Mountaineer was at the hank
Of the river, about eighty rods above the
bridge, secured to the railroad track and
other fastenings, by eight cables, two Of
which were new, and four and half inches
in diameter. At the first big blow these
lines parted, after tearing uo potion o.. the
railroad track, and the steamer turned head
down stream; the wind kept her close to
the St. joseph shore, and she
driited down and struck the east end
of the bridge draw. Several Of the iron
guys Of the bridge were sprung from their
boits, and the damage to the bridge is from
S., 900 to $40, 900 and it will require twenty
days to make the repairs.
The Mountaineer was terribly wrecked in
her forward part in the upper works. The
roof or hurricane deck was smashed up,
clear to her cabin, and reduced to the 6nest
kind of kindling. and the freight-hoister was
ruined and the chimneys knocked over and
considerably mashed. The loss to the
vessel will be 81 200, upon which there was
no insurance. At the time Of the accident
Chas. johnson, first mate, Jas. BUTLER, first
clerk, Chas. +. Payton, first engineer, and
J. Nash. steward, with number Of the deck
crew, were on watch. The MOuntaineer
belonged to the Missouri River Packet
Company, and was built in 1866,
at St. Lonis, at a cost of $5,l70.
The steamer Elkhorp. moored below the
bridge, broke loose and foated five miles
down the river, where she lodged, and was
brought up this morning. She was damaged
to the extent of $500. The tornado took of
