caused a disastrous accident to the tow
boat Coal City Monday and now 100000
bushels Of Pittsburg coal block the cham
mel of the Ohio just below the Louisville

tow of twenty barges, and in attempting

the tow struck the channel span pier.
A jam resulted. A lot of empty, barges,

shells. In a short time six barges with
their valuable cargoes had gone to the
bottom. 1t is said two men were seen to go
down with the sinking coal, but as the boat
