CAIRO, ILL.,, Feb. 14.-Capt. Hart states that
the Donnelly took fire aft of the larboard foot
box, and the fire spread very rapidly. The boat
was headed for the shore, and the fact that no
lives were lost is due to the GOODNESS and bray
cry of the pilot, VIM. Underwood, who re-
mained at his post until the boat struck the
shore, when the pilot-house was in flames, and
he descended through the wheel-house
jumped into the water and swan ashore. Sew
eral limbs were broken by those who jumped
from the boat to the frozen ground. One deck
passenger has both legs broken. The names of
the injured and the extent of the injuries is
not yet ascertained. The hull of the boat is
broken, bows high the shore, and stern sunk
in ten feet of water

R1oonY Row IN A SourH SIDE SALOON
On Saturday morning between ~ ano y
O'Clock. a bloody row occurred In hocnl q
saloon, Eighth Ward, which may perhaps
result fatally to one of the combatants.
There are conflicting stories concerning
the difficulty, but from what we can gamer,
the facts are substantially as tollows;ts
Thos. Roy and Chas. Roll, the princt-
nails in the ARRAY, were in koch's saloon
at the time drinking rather freely togeth-
ar. Row sat down at q table and went TO
sleep, when Rolf stepped up and playful
ly pushed his head against the wall. rms
was repeated two or three times, Roy each
time telling Rolf to let him alone, as ne
didn't wish to be disturbed. Rolf per-
sisted in his amusement, until Roy became
angry and pushed him roughly aside.
Rolf, thinking his playfulness had not
justified such treatment, seized brass
spigot, with which he struck Roy on the
head, penetrating the outer wall OF the
skull above the left eye, and inJurlng MN
very seriously.
The injured man was taken to Brlces
drug store. near by, where DIR. Hazlett at
tended him after which he was removed to
the residence of his mother, in Benwood.
The injury is considered of very
serious character, and may result Ia
tally. When last heard from, how
ever, Roy was doing very well, and
the chances were considered laVorap1e Aor
ni Justice Mix, whose oficeimmediately adj
journs Koch's saloon, was sitting in front
OF his office when the difficulty occurred.
He heard some loud talking in the saloon,
and presently a shuftiing noise: Roy came
out a moment later, considerably under
the influenceof liquor. Thinking there
was trouble brewing the s Squire saa advised sed
in a short time heavy fall was heard, and
some one halloed. Mr.. Mix ran into the
saloon and found the two men on the
floor, Rolf on top striking Roy about the
head and face with piece of brass spigo2tt
The Justice separated them, and immedi.
ately placed them under arrest. Roy was
SO badly hurt that he was removed to the
drug store, while Rolf was taken into the
Justices office, and there held in the sum
of $500 to insure his appearance at 1
o'clock on Monday to answer.
Rolfis young man of twenty-three, a
resident of the Eighth Ward, and is en-
ployed at Hobbs, Brockunier & Co.'S Glass
Works Roy belongs down at Renwood,
and is employed as a Waterman at the La
| Belle Mill.
