PRIDE OF THE OHIO
STEAMER IRON QUEEN DESTROYED
ny FIRE AT Antiquity.
All the Passengers and Crew, Except
Chambermaf<I, Sa~ed--TOtal
Loss Over 100000.

POMEROY,s o., April s3.-The Pittsburg
and Cincinnati packet Iron Queen, the pride
of the Ohio river, was destroyed by fire
at Antiquity twelve miles above here, at
5 o'clock this morning. A chambermaid
was drowned. There were thirty passen-
gers on board, four or five from Cincinnati,
some from Gallipolis and fifteen from the
Pomeroy BEND. Some of the ladies had to
be carried off. All the passengers We're
saved. with most of their baggage. The
boat was bound for Pittsburg, passing here
at a. m. At Racine, ten miles above, she
took on a lot of baled straw, and moved a
mile further up to Antiquity to tape on
more freight and it was then the fire broke
out.
A visit to the scene of the disaster this
afternoon revealed a complete wreck. The
stern of the hull is in thirty feet of water,
with the bow against the bank. Only few
pieces of burned wreckage show above
the water. The hull was not scuttled. 1t
burned to the waters edge before she sank,
consuming much of the valuable freight
below the decks. One hundred barrels Of
whisky, thirty barrels of lard and 40 tons
of pig iron were in the hold, besides other
articles. The disaster was caused by deck
hand knocking down a large brass lamp on
the after deck as he was about to throw
d
only lamp burning on the boat, the electric
lights having been turned out. The burning
oil fell among household goods The hose
was turned on in less than minute, but
served only to spread the fire more rapidly.
The flames leaped to the cabin floor COM
municating at once to the engine room and
sixty tons of straw. The cabin was con-
stunned in less than ten minutes. All the
passengers and crew rushed forward to the
head of the boat which was lying close to
the bank Mrs. Matte Maliey, colored, the
first chambermaid, Of Cincinnati, rushed
back to get some clothing. The flames had
enwrapped the cabin before she could get
back, and she attempted to climb down
a stationary stancheon the shore side
near the wheel. In doing so she fell into
the river and drowned forty feet from
boat was near shore the passengers were
easily landed without any unusual incidents
or narrow escapes. asi
Mate Shriver and second mate Hold
knowles had narrow escapes. The officers
lost all their clothing except what they
had on. The farmers near by took care of
the crew and passengers until they could
be sent away by rail. The deck crew
reached here tonight. Captain Calhoon and
his chief officers will remain on the ground
a few days This is Captain Calhoon's first
years. Mate Knowles had never before lost
life or had a boat burn.
The total Joss is over 100000 The Iron
Queen, which was the pride of the Ohio
river was built in Marietta in 1892, and was
valued at 10000 She is insured in Pitts
burg agencies for about half that amount

CONCERNING WOMEN.


The Ms-v York 73ibnne saws The habit Of
taking headache powders is increasing TO am
alarming extent among great number Of wo-
men throughout tho country These powders as
their name indicates. are claimed by the manu-
facturers to be positive and speedy cure for any
form of headache. In many cases their chief
ingredient is morphine, opium. cocaine some
other equally injurious drug having tendency
to deaden pain. The habit Of taking them IS
easily formed, but almost impossible to shake
of. Women usually begin taking them to
1ieve a raging headache and soon resort to the
powder to alleviate any little pain or ache they
may be subjected to, and finally like the NOR
phirc or opium fend, get into the habit Of taking
them regularly, imagining that they are in pain

In nine cases out of ten, the trouble is
in the stomach and liver. Take a simple
laxative and liver tonic and remove the
