here yesterday, show besides the ten persons

brought to this city. AT the hospital are the
second mate, the carpenter and the scrubber,
who were severely burned about the head and
body; also ten deck hands, who are terribly
scalied. The scene on the Eagle (towboat)
when she landed here was horrible. Physi-
clans and citizens 1t once did everything pos
sible for the sufferers.
The La Mascotte was steaming along with
the usual pressure when the explosion oc-
CURED which threw the fire In every direction.
The utmos confusion prevailed. The pilot
headed TO the shore, but the flames drove him
from the pilot house before a landing was eff
fectcd and the boat swung off into the current.
Her stern, however, swung near To the shore
and afforded the means OF escape to several.
The boat drifted to the Illinois shore, burned
to the water and sunk. A man with a skiH
from the Illinois shore did noble work taking
the ladies from of the stage plank and saving
the swimmers.
