.word,o,he Generous.

Information has reached us from a re-
liable source that Thomas Kirk, who was
killed on Tuesday, had no means but his
labor to keep himself and family. His
popularity MS first class mechanic was
rapidly building up business for him,
but an al wise Providence saw fit to
take him TO his long home
before he realized any advantages there
from. His death therefore leaves his
wife and two children destitute, with no
relations or friends to come to there
assistance in this, there hour OF great
trouble. Is there not some proper per-
son, or persons, in our midst who are
ready and willing to insugurate some
plan by which ptcuniary assistance can
reach them. Let tire good work be well
and quickly done.

IIMighi Have Been.

One of the oldest and most astute
attorneys at the Ohio county bar had his
equanimity greatly disturbed the other
morning in house near at hand by two
dire and mortal enemies to each other,
stepping INTO the room and taking seats
on either side of him. One of the gen
tlemen had his seven shooter on his lap,
his index finger toying with the trigger,
with as much nonchslance as II
he were manipulating pretzel,
The other gentleman was similarly armed
he thought, and the fear OF a cross-hre,
with him between, SO shocked his nerves
that he was compelled to insist on one OF
the gentlemen Withdrawing while he
transacted some important business with
the other. This ruse probably averted u
flow of gore.

almost Married, but Not.

For some time past young gentleman
from the East has been keeping company
with q young lady on the South Side.
He led her to believe that she was the
girl of his fancy and went so far as to
engage himself TO her After the en-
gagement had been made, anC the day
appointed to celebrate the nuptlsls, the
young lady began to make her wardrobe.
The man had promised to have invita-
tions printed where he lives in the
East and ssnt out to friends. Everything
went sm, othly on until last Tuesday
evening, which was the time set for the
wedding. The gay Lothario failed to
put in An appearance, and the young
lady is now puzzled to know why his
stay is 50 prolonged. To make long
story short, she had told her host OF
frieRds that she was going TO be married
and had invited many to see her sal
upon the ship of mstrlmony. Doubtless
this young lady has learned lesson.

that the steamer is now lying near the
Ohio shore with her head turned toward
the IVES Virginia side, with ABOUT d
foot and n halt o water III her cabin.
After the explosion took pace Inc Com
fort foated down fully ono hundred ana
fifty wards before sinking. The mall Dag
taken on at Pipe creek, and when
is said to have been the largest, was
lost. There were seven ladies on board
the steamer ut the time OF her expo
sion, but fortunately all were saved
MIR. Suppers, who was one OF the killed,
owned a mill Just back Of Sunhsh, and
was between sixty and seventy years OIL

The Comfort, a small low water craft,
was built at Matamoras in 1874 by Capt.
Kirkbride, her present owner, ahd one
OF the victims of The disaster
She was sternwheeler, worked
bv belt instead of shaft, and
was furnished with saw-miil boiler.
The boat for some time has been plying
between this port and Matsmoras, ono,
except when the river WAS too low for the
larger boats to run, she was generally
chartered to take their place. Capt
Thee. DAVIS owned half share IN the
boat until last week when he sold out
his interest to Captain hlrkbride.
Capt. Kramer of the steamer Tempest,
which arrived ut the wharf yesterday
afternoon, reports that he arrived at
the scene of the disaster about O'Clock,
and rendered all the assistance possible.
The wreck Is lying in about II feet OF
water near the Ohio shore. Engineer
Klrkbrlde, who WAS on watch stated thai
there was plenty of water IN the boiler
and was running under the usuaI
pressure of steam (sbout 80 lbs). Many
Of the passengers were not registered,
and up TO last accounts the steamer s
register mad not been lound, therefore
it was not known to a certainty new
many passenger were aboard or who Is
missing.
Inspectors Wilson and Young OF this
city departed yesterday morning tor the
scene of the disaster.
