Accidents to the James Moren.

The dreaded Steubenyille bridge
scored another severe disaster yester-
day morning. The James Moren
bumped against the west pier, and the
worst towboat wreck in years resulted.
Four of the Moren's barges we're sunk
below the bridge, and the feet, scat
tered over the river by the contact,
kept four other towboats busy trying
to save them. I've more barges were
sunk opposite Steubenvllle, and two
went down at the head of Mingo Is
land. Mate Tom Moren was struck on
the leg by wire cable that snapped
in the wreck and sustained broken
leg. He is a brother of Captains John
and james Moren, of the Advance Coal
Company. He was taken to the Steu-
benville hospital.
Other accidents were as follows:
Raymond Horner hit the bridge at
Bellaire and sank a barge. The Hor-
net No. Q hit one of the piers of the
Pittsburg C Lake Erie bridge at Beav-
er last night and sank three barges.
The Harry p. Jones allowed two
barges of coal and barge of rails to
go over the dam at Lock No. / last
night. The coal was lost, but the
barge of rails was safely landed
