The Brown lost twenty-seven OF
her boats, while the Horner lost
five. Just as the Horner was
landing the wind came up but
she was able to save most of her
tow. The Brown was in the
mindle Of the river when the
wind struck her, and she lost
control of herself and floated
downstream some distance be-
fore she landed. Her barges
were badly wrecked by the
wind. The men on the boats es-
capped in skiffs and, SO far as is
known, no lives were lost. The
accident happened at the same
place in the Ohio river where
the j. B. Finley lost a big tow
of steel rails two years ago. The
coal is valued at 100000 and
the barges at $4,000.
