the German states, but he did not extir-

CAIRO, H.. May S.-One of the worst
catastrophes which has occurred in this
region for years has taken place on the
Mississippi river at Wolf island, twenty
four miles below this city. The rear end
of one of the boilers of the steamer Ohio,
Cincinnati and Memphis packet, blew out,
filling the deck cabin with steam and boil
ing water. Several Of the deck hands and
deck passengers, who were eating break
fast at the time, were literally cooked
alive and "A large number seriously burned.
The follow ing is the list of the dead:

Newport, Ky, and nine others, names not
known at this writing. The widest con
sternation reigned on board the boat and
the screams of the passengers and the
groans and appeals of the injured made
the scene terrible one. The boat could
proceed no further and for several hours it
lay at the bank while the unfortunate VIC
tins lay on the deck writhing in agony
and calling aloud for aid.
Expect Ten More to Die.
At last the tug Egeus hove in sight. She
was hailed and the sufferers were trans

as possible. Before they could be removed
from the boat some of them We're dead.
The balance were transferred to the United

after reaching there. The surgeon de
clares that ten of the sixteen now in the
hospital will die.
The Death of Mate Meyers.
Cyrus Meyers, the second mate, was ter

and to relieve himself jumped into the
river. He went to the bottom at once and

LAFAYETTE, Ind, May S.-The worst and
most orrible railway accident known in
the history of Lafayette. both in fatalities
and in damage to property has occurred at
the Union station. The Big Four train
from Chicago came in on time, and its
gine, baggage car, two postal cars, and one
express car We're totally wrecked at the
south end of the passenger station. The
accident was caused by a failure of the air
brakes to work properly. The train came
dashing along the track near the station at
a great speed, and when it reached a point
about 100 feet from the station the engine
left the track and dragged the cars with it.
The engine was dashed to pieces, the bag
gage car reduced to splinters, the mail cars
were overturned, and letters, papers, etc,
scattered far and near.
A Scene of Wreck and Ruin. 4,
The trucks of the first passenger coach
were derailed and the rear coach was
knocked into fragments, but miraculous
to state not a passenger in the coach thus
partially demolished was killed. The en-
tire east part of the mammoth train
shed was carried away and that portion
south OF the StaLlOn was OeNOISneu, the
shed roof and twisted pillars Gaping the
heaped up ruin of the big Mogul engine
and the cars. Part of the brick wall of
the railway side of the station was also
carried away. Engineer Mike Walsh, of
indianapolis, was seen by fireman of
Big Four train that was lying on the west
track near the station the express
dashed by.
Met His Death at the Throttle.
He was at the throttle, apparently re-
versing the engine. He had evidently dis
covered defect in the ir-brakes while on
the Wabash river bridge just after the
train left a steep down-grade, for he
sounded alarm whistles, but the trainmen
on the cars were equally unsuccessful in
applying the air, and when the engine
struck the sharp curve at the station it was
derailed. A conservative estimate of the
damage to the Big Four property is $780,
O0t. The three Chicago mail distributors
aboard the train escaped uninjured.
