The Telegraph Said To BE in Very Bad
Shape.

The Telegraph Said To BE in Very Bad
Shape.
The sinking of the Louisville and Gin
cinnati steamer Telegraph was the
main topic of conversation among river
men yesterday. The accident is greatly
regretted, as the Telegraph has always
been favorite boat among the people
who travel by river. Commodore Laid
ley left for the scene Of the disaster as
soon as possible after the bad news
was received. In conversation over
the long distance telephone yesterday
afternoon he gave it as his opinion
that the boat will be total loss. Her
head is out on the bank, high and dry,
and her stern is in over so feet of water.
The boat struck the bank at almost
her full headway. Her engines had
been reversed but her speed had not
been perceptibly checked. Fol tunate-
ly. she had only small passenger and
freight trip at the time of the accident.
None of the passengers were even hurt,
and much of the freight was saved.
Captain George p. Quiggan, Secretary
and Treasurer of the company, said
last evening that the Telegraph cost
oyer SEQ, 600. and she could not be re-
placed for that sum of money. She
was insured for about half her value.
