counts of the frightful catastrophe which
occurred at the launching OF the new iron
steamship Saratoga, at Chester, Pa, on
Tuesday. confirm the original assertion
(which has been denied in a statement of
Mr.. Roach. the builder, telegrsphed to the
press) that it was owing to the vessel s start
ing prematurely. The stout cradles, on
which the ship rested on the ways, were
held together by long chain passing IN
der the keel. At the PROV were two plapks.
intended to retard the launch after all other
distractions were removed. Two other boards
were so placed as to show by their parting
when the ship began to move; one of these
being fast to the STOCKS and the other to the
ship. The very warm weather melted the
grease on the hull and cradles sooner than
was expected. Mr.. Fountain, the superin-
tendent of the yard, suddenly observed that
the tell-tale boards were parting, and this
meant that the ship was moving. He knew
that the momentum gained BY the slightest
movement would make it impossible TO stop
the launch; so orders were at once given in
loud voice for all to stand from under
At the sane time the men were ordered to
cut the planks holding the cradles, as. if
this was not done promptly, there would be
danger OF the vessel, frame and all, top
pling over. The planks were sawed, and
the vessel glided into the water with the
velocity ot liz htning. Miss Fountain raised
the bottle of Saratoga water prepared for
the christening, and was about to break it
over the bow when a scream arose, and ter
rihed beyond measure, she dropped it over
hoard. and as the screams that terrified
Mics Fountain reached the ears of the spec
tators their eyes were greeted by sickel-
ing sight. The great chain holding the
cradles was dragging along in the wake OF
tie ship. carrying in Its folds men. iron bars
and wooden blocks. One man was cut in
half: another was mashed beyond recogni-
tlon Others we're iimbless; some were car
rled INTO the water with the vessel. Three
men were instantly killed. four MORALLY in
Iured and died two hours afterwards, and
three others were seriously but not danger

cept one had families Mr.. Roach has given
each suffering family $50.
