TOwS OF COAL-BARGES DAMAGED BY HEAVY
ICE-SEYERAI. LIVES LOST.

ICE-SEVERAL LIVES LOST.
IBy telegraph to the Dispatch.l
PITTSBURGH. January 1.-Two tow
boats with heavy lows OF cOal-bargeS were
CO t.ht in the heavy ice and current, and
coll.ded with pier at Davis-Island dam
early this morning. Several cOal-bargeS
were wrecked. The tow-bOat I. y. Bun
ton caught fire from the collision. her fur
naceS ling broken down, and the crew.
numbering twenty men, became panic
stricken. and several jumped overheard.
Midway between the dam and Neville
island the boat carecned and went down in
shallow water. The companion boat not
bayin. been injured put out yawl and
succeeded in picking up sixteen OF the
BuntOl : crew. The other four are miss
ing. shortly afterwards the body OF En-
eineer Underwood was picked up. 1t is
POSSIBLE that the three still missing man
AGED to make the shore, but up to noon
they had not reported. The steamer Bum
tor was valued at $4,000, and the loaded
c0aI-bOatS which sank were valued at So
600. making the total loss $50, 1000, on which
there is no insurance.
THE CAUSE OF TIE ACCIDENT.
The accident is attributed to neglect TO
have the Government signals lighted. Sig
mas are required to be on the lock-wall
and dam. Ii this precaution had not been
neglected the pilots would have had no diff
fculty in holding their tow between the
lights. When the Bunton arrived within
the usual distance from the dam at which
the lights are supposed to he visible the
lookout was unable to distinguish more
than one light, which WAS discovered
TO be afterwards on the lock-wall.
1t was then too late to lie up OF even pre-
vent the tow from drifting, such was the
force OF the ice-capped current, and the
boats went crashing against the pier. As
nothing has been heard from the missing
it IS supposed that they have persisted.
