STEAMBOAT EXPLOSION.

OD 1uuTSudy dlt6T IllluulSnt as the Delld
Mac, raft boat owned by Mcdonald s.
Bros, was ascending the river, and was
about opposite Brownsville, Minnesota, the
boilers of the boat exploded. The shock
was terrific in its effects; the boat being
blown into fragments, the hull immediate
ly sinking. Reports place the total num-
Der Of killed and drowned at nine. The
names known of these are: F. Mcintyre
(who is a cousin of the Mcintyre family in
Davenport who was clerk and second pilot,
R. Martin, VIM. McCamish, George Ne
Camish and John Nolan.
The scalded and wounded were D. Nc
Camish, badly burned and may die; Morris
Lesser, dangerously: Thomas Rice, prob
ably fatal; Charles L. Monahan, James
Lalley, Captain w. w. Gordon and Henry
Tolley, slightly.
A special to the Dubuque Telegraph says
that the wounded men were taken to the
hotel, and medical aid summoned from La
Crosse. To-day they are getting along as
well as could be expected, and except d.
McCamish and Thomas Rice; all may re-
cover.
The three McCamish victims were broth
ers, one of whom attended Commercial
College in Davenport about year ago.
The terrible event has created great ex-
citement along the river, and universal
sorrow.

CUT RATES.

The Grand Trunk has been accused OF
cutting freight rates, but emphatically de-
nies the charge. The strength of the ac-
cusation lies in the fact that the Grand
Trunk is getting an undue and dispropor-
tionate share of the freight traffic, and
officials of other roads say that if this con-
dition of affairs continues a freight war
will certainly ensue
