BELL Us OF EVIL OMEN.
Four Steamboats, That Used 1t Meet
with Wreck and Destruction.
From the Chicago Chronicle.

From the Chicago Chronicle.
Louisville, KY, Nov. 2S-A bell with
fatal history hangs loosely on its stand
ards on the hurricane deck of the recent
ly wrecked Louisville and Cincinnati mail
line steamer Telegraph. Dolefully it tolls
with every wind that sweeps down from
the Indiana hills, every wave that rocks
the wreck of the once palatial steamboat.
-Four Inflated Ohio or Mississippi river
passenger boats have carried this signal
bell and one after another they have met
with disasters.
The bell was cast in 1855 by Coffin of
Cincinnati for the most famous lower river
steamer of that day, the Telegraph, No.
g. After plying the Ohio and Mississippi
rivers for several years one dark night
the Telegraph ran on rock between
Louisville and Cincinnati and before she
could be pulled off filled with water and
broke in two. The bell was recovered
from the wreckage and when the General
Lyle was built the bell was placed on
her. The Lytle exploded her boilers and
burned to the waters edge in 1866 near
Bethlehem, Ind, and many lives were lost.
The bell was about the only thing of any
value saved and it was pulled up by div
ers from the bed of the river.
For a number of years it's iron tongue
was silent and then when the City of
Madison was built the old bell was recov-
cred from a junk shop and placed on her.
For many years the Madison piled the
Ohio river between Pittsburg and Cincin-
natl, the old bell giving forth its signals
in as clear and melodious tones as when
first cast. In July, 1893 while taking an
excursion party from Greensboro, KY, to
Cincinnati, the Madison ran on the dyke
of the Indiana city, after which the boat
was named, and went to pieces.
Again the bell was recovered and when
the Telegraph was fitted up for the Louis
ville-Cincinnau trade it was placed on her.
On Nov. %, at o'clock in the afternoon,
the Telegraph took sheer when about
fifteen miles about this city on the way to
Cincinnati, and before she could be
enlightened out her bow had climbed fifty
feet up the shingly shore on the Indiana
end. To-day the old bell with the name
of her original bearer, Telegraph, No. 3,
cast in her metal side, swings to and fro
with every wind and wave, sending a dis
NAL signal of warning to passing craft and
a doleful ghastly knell to the farmers liv-
ing in the neigh bOrhood.
