Forty Lives Lost.
Owensboro, Ky, Jan. 20.-The
b,g New ORLEANS packet, the State
of Missouri, struck a rock on the
Iudia,a side Of the Ohio river near
A ton. 1rttiaua. about SIX o'clock
st ts'.trg, and went down in
ii y tert "f water. She gave
,ravy lurch forward and rapidly
s4uk. Four passengers Of the City
of Oweusboro passing here this
vening We're picked up near the
Kentuckey shore They swan for
life on planks and reached the vii
lows. One reached the shore and
the others remained in tree many
hours until rescued. They were W.
G. Leathers from Hopkins county,
Kentucky, and man named Gregory
of Cave in Rock, Ill. The names Of
the other two could not be learned
These passengers report that the
boat struck rock near the stern,
and gave sudden lurch forward. A
yawl was launched, but SO many
people crowded into it that il was
soon sunk. As the boat lurched
again a second yawl was put off
from the sinking boat, in which four
women passengers and some Of the
cabin passengers managed to get
places. Leathers never SWAN before,
but managed to keep atloat until he
reached the Willows. He saw four
men drowned near him, but was
powerless to act. One chamber maid
was picked up by boat from farm
house near by and several rescued
passengers were picked up further
on and taken up to Louisville by
the steamer Tell City. One yawl
that was upset by frantic passengers
was full of women and children, and
all are thought to be lost.
| When the vessel struck the rock
she ripped the starboard side open
from one end to the other and in
less than five minutes she was a
complete wreck. The crew and
passengers, nearly 100 in all, were
paralyzed at the shock and before
anything could be done the vessel
was almost completely under water.
The upper deck broke away and
floated off. Nearly everybody jump
ed into the river and made for the
shore some 100 yards away
The State of Missouri was built at
Madison, Ind in 1890 by a Kansas
City syndicate for the Missouri river
trade at cost of $4,000. She was
one of trio of fine steamers built
by the same company-the State Of
Kansas and the A, l.. Mason being
the others. She was $50 feet long,
with forty four fost beam and six
foot hold. She was neyer launched
on the Missouri, but placed on the
Ohio and Mississippi, plying between
Cincinnati and New Orleans, with
occasional trips to St. Louis. The
, syndicate was compelled to sell the
State Of Kansas to enable the com
pany to continue business.

The record-union. [volume] (Sacramento, Calif.) 1891-1903, 1895-10-26
TIE OTHER CANDIDATES.

The policy of the Record Union is, has
been, and will be to refrain from
personal assault upon the candi-
dates for Mayor who are opposing the
election of Mr.. Wilson. The Record
Union does not believe that there is any
strength in vituperation-it knows there
is none. Neither does it hold il to be an
essential of such a campaign as this in
advocating the election of the Republican
candidate for Mayor to rail against the
characters of the men who are in the
contest against him.
We deem it the right policy to present
the claims of the Republican party and
of Mr.. Wilson, and trust to the good
sense of the people to judge of such
claims. We are for Mr.. Wilson because
the place. because he is the nominee of
the most responsible party, and because
he is representative of the judgment of
the party expressed in its regularly
called and fully representative conven-
ton.
The Record Union criticised and will
criticise. 1t believes the present divided
and warning administration should be
supplanted by Board Of Trustees and a
Mayor working in harmony and respon-
sible to strong party. so long as party
and municipal government are TO have
part and lot together. Those who hold
to the campaign policy of assault upon
the character of reputable candidates may
pursue such mean and contemplate

representation snd assault upon char
acter and personality are the chief feat
ures, we have respect for the former.
