strongly to the suicidal conduct Of many OF tho
American roads, and the present seems fitting op.

ceiver Of the road empowered to enter upon the

THE GRAND REPUBLIC.
Details or the Grandeur aud Capacity OF
the Lost steamer.

The loss by fire of that pride and won.
der of the western waters-the steamer
Grand Republic---the grandest craft that
ever piled the Mississippi, continues to
be a leading topic of interest among our
people.
The magnificent vessel will never be
likely to have her counterpart in point
of grandeur, size and elegance for a gen.
Grafton, and perhaps never again as long
as the western rivers are nayigated. The
cause and incidents of her destruction
will, therefore, be a matter Of interest
to the people here, where the fine vessel
may be considered to have partially be-
longed, as she was destined to be New
Orleans and Memphis packet during the
cotton carrying season.
A man named John Prather, who was
the boats watchman, reports that about
half-past II o'clock, last Wednesday
night, he was on the lower deck of the
Grand Republic, and smelling smoke, he
went up stairs, and found that it was
rslling through the panels and flooring
of the bridal chamber in the ladies' cabin,
from whence the flames speedily broke
through. In less than ten minutes the
whole cabin and upper works were one
mass of furious flames, and to keep from
being roasted alive he had to get ashore
as rapidly as possible, losing trunk full
of clothes. The engineer and carpenter
also, lost their baggage. The vessel was
totally destroyed, and the wreck sunk i'll
| very brief space of time. There had
been no fire on the boat, except under
the niger boiler, and this had all been
put out before dark. The watchman
had no knowledge OF any fire being about
the ladies' cabin, and he could not give
any reason as to how it originated there
The boats seven new steel boilers had
been tested during the day. She had
Just come off the docks and was to have
started south on the 9Th day of October
The gorgeous vessel was fitted out with
all modern improvements and inventions,
fire alarms, soundings and speaking
trumpets, wire tiler ropes, wire bell
cords and complete steering outfit. 1t is
estimated by experts that this nonpareil
steamer could not be duplicated in even
these times of depression and cheapness
for $250,000. The original cost of the
first boat was over 100000, and the
various alterations to machinery and
hull, together with the new hull de-
stroyed, was in all over half million
dollars. To such a public spirited com
mander as is Capt. Thorwegan, who
solely owned the splendid craft, the los'
fall. heavily, and the sympathy of a larg5
number of friends is extended him.
