A sleeping car filled with the
workmen of Miles Orten's Circus
was burned near Greedy, Col, Fri
day, in some mysterious way. The
train was stopped, but only few of
the miserable wretches were res
cued, and even these were MANNED
and crippled in being pulled from
the windows. Ten were burned to
death and seven others badly hurt.
1t is believed that the fire was caused
by the explosion of a barrel of gaso-
line which caught from the lamp.
Another barrel exploded during the
fire and the gas suflocated the burn
ing victims before they could be res
cued.

the captain take the boat shore, to
all of which requests Captain Smith
paid no attention. lie compelled all
the people to stay on against the

way went to the shore when the cy-
clone struck them, so no one was
hurt.
Charlie Wood, conductor of the
passenger train on the barge, acted
like hero and displayed great
bravery and self-possession. lie went
through the car speaking words of
courage and comfort to the terror
stricken passengers, while death
hung over them and their friends
were being buried in watery
grave. His bravery was highly com-

over.
j. l.. Burgess, of Hill County, Tea,
who with his wife and two children
was on the Belmont, had a miracu-

when the storm began. Mr.. Burgess
said there were two storms, only one
of which was severe. The second
turned the boat around, and getting
his family together he hurried to the
bow, where il was dashed to the barge.
All the passengers were running
about wildly, when suddenly the
steamer careened. lie pushed his
wife upon the barge and taking "A
child under each arm almost fell over
upon it himself. A moment later
the Belmont capsized and went down.

RECOVERING TIE BODIES.

At o'clock Friday morning the
Nashville train was run OH to the
barge transfer at Evansville, and
started on the fifteen miles trip down
the Ohio river to Henderson, Ky.
The barge was broad and long, and
had on it Il baggage and two passen-
ger cars and three heavily laden
freight ears, under the control Of
Conductor G. l.. Wood, of the Louis
vile and Nashville road. The barge
was drawn by the tug Belmont, Cap
tanned by Mr.: Jno. Ii. Smith Of Evans
vile, and was closely connected with
the lowed barge by huge ropes.
When Evansville was left the sky
was blue, the air cool and bracing,
but by9 O'Clock a dark cloud APP
pcared to the northeast, and in few
moments fearful Storm had come
up and the waves mounted high up
against the tug. The passengers
pale in the sight of the awful danger,
began TO leave the boat and go on
the cars on the barge, but number
remained, thinking one place as safe
as another. Finally IA mighty bill
low struck the Belmont amidships,
and it broke loose and was wheeled
over into the angry waves.
A few agonized screams, few
forms struggling beneath the resist
less hand of death as the waters closed
above them, the crash of the smoke
stack as it snapped from the boat, and
the lug lay bottom upward in the
midst Of the seething pillows. Capt.
Jno. II. Smith and thirteen others had
sunk 10 rise 40 more.
The barge was held down by heavy
freight cars on the windwarl side
and slowly drifted to the Kentucky
shore and. anchored on sand-bar. A
newsboy went ashore, procured Il
horse and carried the news to Hen
dersOn. ".
