The Stages was ever an ill-fated
vessel and was regarded with
superstition by a number of old
riyermen. There is strange
story connected with this steamer
and the manner in which misfor.
tune has persued it. lis macbin-
cry and boilers were taken from
the old John w. Fowler, which
had a rather checkered career and
was finally burned at NewAlbany,
Ind.
From the time the Stages was
built some four or five years ago,
at Jeffersonville, Ind it has been
persued by some strange Nemesis.
1t was formerly owned by Capt.
A. r. Armstrong, and was engag-
ed in the upper Cumberland trade.
About three and half years ago
it will be remembered, Capt. Arm.
strong was fatally stabbed while
attempting to Quell drunken riot
on board. The Williams brothers,
of Celina, were arrested for the
crime, and though neither was
convicted, both of them have since
been killed.
Sometime afterward the boat
was sold to w. w. Hight and Co.
from whom it was bought by Capt.
THOMAS G. Ryman. Capt. Ryman
tcnt it about six months and sold
it to Capt. Jones and Capt. Lee

DANVlLLE, FEB,. y. Especially
The steamer p. ID. Stages,
freight and passenger packet owned
and operated by the Paducah and
Tennessee River Packet Company
between Paducah, KY, and Flor
ence, Ala, was destroyed at John.
sonville about II o'clock last night
by colliding with the railroad
bridge.
The boat had a large number of
passengers and q full cargo of
freight aboard. She was en- route
to Paducah. Owing to the intense
cold, the night was somewhat fog
gy, and just about the time the
boat was approaching the bridge
a large bank of fog accumulated,
obscuring the view of the pilot.
The river was high, aud rapid
current was running and much
drift afloat at the time, and the pi.
lot was unable to check the head.
way of the boat. She struck one
of the piers with fearful for ce,
swung around under n span, tear.
ing away the chimneys, pilo; house
and everything above the roof,
creating terrific noise and result.
ing in q panic among the passeng-
ers- that was indescribable. A
large amount of live stock was on
board, and they, too joiued in the
general panic and confusion, bel
lowing andsquealling until it seem.
cd that Bedlam had turned loose.
After the boat had passed un-
der the bridge Capt. Jones and
his crew, aided by the efficient
service of some raftsmen who
were near at hand, Immediately
commenced the work of rescuing
the people. Yawls were lowered,
loaded with people and sent ashore
as fast as possible, dropping their
precious loads in the darkness on
the river bank and returning for
more. Mate Frank Kennedy acted
with great GOODNESS and heroism
To prevent overlooking the boat,
Mr.. Kennedy stood guard with
pistol in hand ready to shoot the
first man who refused to obey his
orders. The skiffmen followed the
wreck twenty miles to Danville
and succeeded in rescuing all the
people. One fireman, called Fore
paugh, preferred to stay with the
wreck, and said he would take his
chances on reaching Paducah in
this manner.
The hull of the boat evidently
tore itself loose from the upper
works and sunk near the scene Of
the accident, the cabin being mp
held by a large cargo Of dry lum
Der, bales of cotton and bags Ol
peanuts. 1t was swept down the
raging current with the head lights
burning, creating a weird scene
and causing the few spectators on
shore to think that the wreck had
caught On fire. One pilot and
some others of the crew were miss
ing, and it was afterward learned
that they had climbed on the rail-
road bridge and, fearing to walk
the icy structure, had crawled to
the shore. The Captains wife and
two other ladies were on board
who, as is usual in such cases
acted with more sense and cool
ness than many Of the men. The
boat was valued at $4,000 and
insured. The steamer Clyde pass
ed down to-day and picked uT
the unfortunate victims of the
catastrophe. 1t is remarkable thai
all were saved under such circum
stances, a further proof of the

TWO suNEEAMS.


Straight through a easement, open wide.
sunbeam found It's way,
And down upon the cottage noor
A shaft of brightness lay.
Sent from the gay, glad outer world,
A messenger apart.
1t glorhed the humble room,
And cheered the matron's heart.
1t coaaxed the little one from play,
And mocked with true delight,
The vain attempts OF baby hands
| To grasp the lance of light.
"Catch If you can" 1t seemed to say
"Id willing captive be-"
And danced before the wondering eyes
To she tune OF baby glee.
Bright shone the little golden head
As ii nlttod here ard there,
AS though Ike sun itself had lent
OF it's shining store share.
And rnother caught her darling up.
In the rids; OF his frui;lcss chase.
And showored kisses, warm and soft,
On the pretty baby face
You cannot catch the sunshine,
Though you followed the wide world
through;
You're moiher's little sunbeam dear.
And she has caught you, too!
1.-TWO surbeaIns have | in my home;
Dark would 1t be, an1 Grear,
without the bright ray Oh the floor,
And the bright face shining here!
.'God owns the sunlight. but He gave
l This precious beam 10 mother.
j.. Content am l to cd.l che mine
And entertain the other"
Straight through the easement, open wide
i The sunbeam crept away,
n And twilight shadows, stealing through.
Foretold the end Of dry.
The outer world In darkness lay.
But mothers heart was light,
Fer a golden head and baby face
~ Kept home forever bright.
