board were allowed to go on the steamer
A very large proportion of the crowd were
negroes, and friends of the wounded rousta-
bouts. While many of the Fifty or sixty per-
sons on board are injured by fractures or
burns, only eleven are in anything like a
serious condition. These are pretty badly
hurt about the face, hands and feet, and come
of them will carry lifelong scars to remind
them of the terrible. scene they passed
through. Captain McCord and two
or three others were able to leave
the boat alone, and went to their houses, but
the remainder of the badly hurt were carried
ashore on stretchers, and conveyed either to
the Marine or City Hospitals. Lem Gray,
one of the pilots, was taken to the home of
Captain Carter, in the suburbs, where be will
be carefully nnrsed. He is badly hurt, but
injured are Lem Gray, pilot; Henry
Evans, fireman; Thomas Beck, deck-sweeper;

gerald Waterman; Sol Rice, mate, and
James WEIGH, Peter Rudolph and two others,
names not given. John O'Neil, deck-hand,
and another of the crew, name not obtainable
died on the way up.
Numerous interviews were obtained by re-
porters, but they throw no light on the cause
of the explosion and gave no information
not already published. The officers of the
Anchor Line are doing everything in their
power to alleviate the sufferings of the
wounded, and will take good care of them
until they recover.

down crops and gardens over considerable
extent of territory. Thirty bridges were
swept away in Holmes county. Oats were
totally destroyed; potatoes nearly all ruined,
and corn greatly damaged. Whole farms on
the hillsides are denuded of soil well as
crops. Deesying vegetable matter on the
bottom lands has already become offensive
and is producing sickness. Barns in many
places were struck by lightning and burned
with their stores of harvested crops. Losses
of this character are numerous and very
considerable in the aggregate.

WASHINGTON, August 9.-Tbe department
o. state is in receipt Of sdvices from Consul
Tanner, Lieg, Belgium, showing that the
crors OF England and Belgium have suffered
severely through protracied bad weather
The farmers of Belgium only hope at best to
secure half yield. The wheat crop ADD
market gardens sustained heavy damage,
and Irish potatoes taken out OF the soil are
so wet that they commence to rot week
after they are gathered. Large importstions
must necessarily follow, and American farm
ers are strongly urged to devise means for
placing their Irish potatoes on the market
in Brussels and Antwerp, where they will
meet ready sales the coming winter. At the
date CT the consul's writing (Juns 20th), the
prospects for a good yield in England and
other European States were gloomy IN the
extreme, the persistent vet weather having
produced bad feature, leaving only hopes
that bare half crop may be secured.
