Bwrsfmg eSfhe ssesmer Pat. Rogers.
About five o'clock, on Wednesday morn

natl United States Mail Line steamer Pat.
Rogers, was burned to the waters edge, near
the mouth Of Laughery creek, one mile
below Aurora, Ind. She left Louisville at
315, on Tuesday afternoon, with about fifty
cabin passengers and few on deck, twenty.
two Of whom are missing and supposed to
have been lost.
The FIRE was discovered by Mr.. James
Holmes, the chief engineer, who was on
watch at the time, in the after part Of the
lower deck, among the cstton, and spread
with such rapidity that he was unable TO
make the hose attachment for water. He
Immediately gave the alarm to the pilot and
cabin watch that the boat was on fire. The
pilot, Charles Defour, at once headed the
boat for the Indiana shore, when 1t was dis
covered that her tiller ropes were "foul,"
and that the boats rudder would not work.
She was grounded on the shore bar just
above Laughery creek, about forty yards
from shore, and burned to the waters edge,
the wreck lying in about five or six feet Of
water. The flames, instead Of spreading
along the lower deck, at once shot up the
cabin to the pilot-house, and then flashed
across the hurricane roof, sweeping every
thing before them. The passengers were all
aroused and the hoats lowereI which ear

Local Intelligence.

A S4RDINE STORY, RATHER FIsHY:-Du-
ring the present season an uptown fire
company made its annual excursion to
Biloxi, most of the particulars of which
were narrated in the REPUBLICAN at that
time. However, one curious incident was
omitted. Mr. Policy w. was guest with
the company, and several days before
starting he ate box Of sardines fsrfunch;
also, wrestled with another, just before
starting for Biloxi. The party was a Jolly
one, and it is possible that several strong
drinks were INDUCED in during the excur-
sion. In fact, by evidence Of three bottles
in WIS fat sa1chel, it is firmly believed
that more go6d brandy was INDUCED in
than was necessary for the temperance
cause. Usually, after storm comes a calm,
but w. thinks that the reverse will suit his
case in this instance. Bracing up, after
taking too many toddies, w. consented
to take sail with some of his compan-
ions in a yacht in the bay. They had
not been out long before our friends
stomach began to turn on him, and having
