EVANSVILLE. May l8.-The JoHrpali is
in FIRST receipt Of the following special
from Shawneetown, Illinois, 18th: The
steamer Pat Cleburne exploded her boil
ers at IL o'clock last night, six miles be-
low ShAwneetown, while landing along
side the Arkansas Belle. The Belle was
tied to the bank and disabled by a line
of coal fats fouled to her starboard
wheel and could render no assistancs.
The Cleburne aoated down about q mile
and burned.
Captain Fowler is lost, having been
caught in the timbers and burned. Dick
Partridge, express agent, is lost; Walter
McElhenny, engineer, blown into the
river and badly hurt, but will recover;
D. c. Moore, mail agent, blown over
board. but saved; John McCune, pilot,
who was at the wheel at the time, fell
through to the boiler deck, and was cut
and scalded; Alex. Porter, second clerk,
feet scalded and cut; Arthur Brown,
freight clerk, hands and face scalded.
All the cabin crew are supposed to be
safe. Urnback, q musician, could not
extricate himself from the timbers and
was burned. Albert Smith, barber,
hands scalded; Charley Cotton, second
mate, supposed to be lost. Passengers:
G. W. Smith, Evansville, slightly scsld-
ed; G. W. Nicholas, Of Terre Haute,
hands and feet scalded; John Harvey,
Cincinnati, scslded and face cut, but will
recover. An unknown passenger was
blown to the roof of the Belle and killed.
In the great confusion, and the officers
being all disabled, ] cannot learn what
other passengers are lost. The crew
not mentioned are saved.
The Belle is badly wrecked, her chin
neys blown overheard and state-rooms
badly shattered. She was on FIRE in
many places, the passengers and crew
working faithfully to extinguish it. The
striker and second engineer are badly
scalded. Charles Smith, of Cincinnati,
a passenger, had his leg broken. Capt.
Howard was knocked down and slightly
hurt. Perhaps ton persons on the Belle
were injured. Arthur Peters and j

The New York Times, one OF
most Radical papers in the country,
makes the following comment in
its issue of the 10th inst, on Mr..
Blaine's case. 1t is significant, to
say the least /:
The story told before the COMMITTEES
engaged in investigating Mr.. Blaine's
case is q singular one. Mr.. E Il. Rollins,
the Secretary and Treasurer OF the
Union Pacific Railroad Company, got
an impression some four years ago that
the Executive Committee of the Board
of Directors had sanctioned the
purchase of some seventy-6ve Arkan-
sas Railroad bonds in order to
obliee Mr.. Blaine. The bonds we're OF
little worth at the date of purchase. and
are all but valueless now. The price
paid for them was $64, 000-probsbly
$4,000 or $40, 900 more than they would
have brought in Wall street when the
transaction occurred. Mr.. Rollins has
enllrelg lOIRObeou hAhb WciG MS hCooOuo
for believing that a large bonus has thus
been extracted from the company's
treasury for the benefit Of Mr.. Blaine,
though he used his belief for the purpose
of staving off an investigation which
was threatened iRto this curious applica.
ton of the company's funds. Accord.
ing to the testimony of Col. Scott, it
appears that he was the man whom the
Union Pacific Railroad Company re.
lieved Of o bad bargain in Little Rock
and Fort Smith Railroad bonds. This
was done, first, because his salary as
President Of the company was far below
the value Of his services; aRd second,
because, inadequate as it was, it re-
manned unpaid. So il seems that the
company which was too poor to pay
Colonel Scott $4,000 a year was rich
enough to throw away $4,000 as q testi-
mouy to the obligations under which
their President had placed them. Mr..
Blaine comes out Of the investigation
with a character neither better nor worse
than before the ACQUISITIONS we're pub
lished, and, all things considered, the
same may be said Of Colonel Scott.

The Natural Republican OuIgrOwth


To the Editor of the Ledger:
In your issue, date Of General Bel
knap's appointment to the position Of
Secretary of War, your river editor Of
that date stated that he General Bel
KNAPP was an "old engineer aud ma
chinist," and had formerly had charge Of
some extensive works"
In FOUR next issue l contradicted the
statement, and said that he (Belknap)
never had charge of any extensive
works" except some Of Grants works
during the war" | knew the man, as |
did very many of the same kind who
Aoated to the surface during the war.
General Belknap, long before the war,
was an adventurer about st. Louis, and
early in 1876 became a land grabber
and Spectator in Iowa, where the war
found him.
Why does not the Senate proceed with
his impeachment Is it because it is
Republican, Partly that, but some.
thing more. They are afraid Grant will
be the next. Aud although the leaders
have 70 further use for the President,
exposure would ruin the prospects Of the
party in the next campaign. On with
the Investigations Give US light; anj
