THE WRECK.


During the morning q number of per-
sons visited the levee in this city as well as
Davenport, to secure ayiew of the Inflated
steamer.
4 number of small boats filed with
human freight also put of from the Illinois
shore on tours OF inspection. These boats
visited the sunken steamer, and then made
their way to the points below, where the
different articles were found floating in the
river. It was also supposed that the cur
rent would float the bodies of the passen
gers who had been drowned. to the shore
about tire lower islands. During the
morning these islands were watched care
fully. but aside from few boxes and other
freight which was found floating on the
water, the search was not very successful
or exceedingly profitable.
The Viola took run down TO the barge
mo. s, and during the afternoon towed
it back to this city.
This afternoon report was current that
a female body had been found on Big
Island just below this city, but the truth of
the statement could not be ascertained.
A number of persons having friends or
acquaintenances on board the steamer are
making enquiries Of the newspaper Offices
as to their friends whereabouts.
1t is certainly hoped that an effort will
be made tomorrow to send down a diver
in the cabin of the sunken steamer and
ascertain whether any bodies have become
lodged in that compartment.

BROKEN MACHINERY.
The Cause of the Accident at
the Bridge.
A Steamer Sinks and Several
Passengers Lost.
Graphic Description of the.
Midnight Disaster

Last night at about II o'clock fearful
accident occurred just above the bridge,
by which the steamer Jennie Gilchrist, q
small craft utilized during the high water
as packet between this city and Port
Byron and intermediate points, was wreck
ed by colliding with the bridge, and num-
Der of lives lost. The mishap was due to
many causes, the most Immediate cause
being the breaking of the camn rod, por-
ton Of the machinery used in reversing
the wheel. The boat was towing two
barges mp the stream, enc of which was
loaded with freight. This tow, in connec-
ton with the broken machinery, rendered
the craft unmanageable, and the terrific
current OF the river, confined to narrow
limits, soon caused the boat and her barges
TO shoot down stream and against one OF
the bridge piers. The obstruction struck
the boat just aft of the boilers, and the
steam soon spread itself over the sinking
boat rendering the accident more terrible
han would otherwise have been the case.
A few of the passengers and portion of
the crew escaped onto one of the barges
while others jumped into the water and
were rescued by their more unfortunate
companions. The night was dark in the
extreme, and although number Of boats
were aechored at this port the news of the
accident did not reach Rock Island until
some moments after the affair had occur
red, as the sinking boat did not sound the
alarm whistle. The steamer Evansville, as
soon as steam could be applied, started to
the rescue, and proved of great assistance
to the passengers and members of the crew
who had taken refuge on the barge. They
were taken to places of shelter and left
this morning for their respective homes up
the river.
The officials of the Jennie Gilchrist are
severely eensured by the surviving passen-
gers for their lack of ability to cope with
with the accident.
The officers with the exception of the
clerk made their own personal escape g
matter of the first Importance and allowed
the passengers to look out for themselves.
1t is also admitted that the boat was over
loaded with passengers and freight, carry
rying more than she could successfully
handle.
The most serious charge, however, is
made by one of the surviving passengers
to the effect that the crew including the
second pilot were under the influence OF
liquor, and to this fact is attributed the
lack Of management after the first accident
to the machinery before the bridge was en-
countered.
The accident is certainly worthy of the
closest scrutiny and if the chargest prefer
red prove to be the case, punishment
should be meted out to those of the crew
and officers who SO far forgot their duties
as to start on trip, in dark night, with
q swollen river while In an inebriated con-
dition.

and the result was that a warrant was
taken out under the city ordinance In
which Mcintosh Is charged with violating
the peace and quiet of the city. The little
affair occurred last night and this morn
ing the case came up before Justice Crop
per but was taken on a change of venue
to Justice Cooke where il was still in pro-
gress at q late hour this afternoon.
