the disaster 10 the steamer Pat Rogers,
near Aurora. Indiana, are coming in
slowly. About five o'clock this morning
several bales Of cotton which formed part
of the cargo caught fire, it Is supposed,
from sparks from the chimneys, and the
boat burned To the waters edge. The
boat and cargo, the latter consisting Of
cattle sheep and hogs, are "A total loss.

not been asccrtained. The names of

More Of the Rogers Disaster.
Mr.. Holmes, the engineer Of the Steam-
or Pat Rogers, burned at Aurora, arriv-
ed in Cincinnati ON the noon train and
was intervied hy Cincinnati reporter,
and gives the following account of the
burning, II was Just about six o'clock
when just opposite Longherry creek,
that flows into the Ohio river two miles
below Aurora, that | noticed bright
light among some bales uf cotton in the
after part of the boat. | fastened to the
spot and found the cotton to be- burning
rapidly and beyond any possibility of be-
ing Immediately cxtinguiShed. | hasten
ed to the hurricane deck and told the
pilot that the boat was burning, and
told him to run ashore. The pilot
AT once turned the boats head to shor"
and Immediately she became unmanage-
able. The pilot stated that h" could
turn the wheel, but the steamer would
not answer 20 her helm: he thinks the
tiller rope had been cut; from this fact
il is thought that the FIRE was the work
of AN ncendiarv Another theory i
that il was from some sparks which fell
from his pipe. When the boat became
unmanagrable she driftcd into sand
bar, and there grounded. The flames,
instead of spreading along III" lower
deck, at once shot up to IN" cabin and
pilot house, and then swept across th"
hurricane deck. The passengers were
all aroused and boats were lowered
and many were carried tu
shore. but others in their fright jumped
in the water. and those who were not
drowned reached II safe landing plac"
after drifting long tim" with the cur
rent. There was nearly one hundred
people on board, but whH, proportion Of
this number were actually lost l. not
