While Her Passengers Were in
a Panic.

| FOLLOWING remarkable series of
accidents and tempestous voyage.
the steamer Virginia, from Cincin-
nat, o., to Pittsburg, was finally
wrecked Thursday night in the Ohio
river at Wellesville, Ohio.

house In Wellesville and later reach
ed the warmth of hotel by means
of n police patrol wagon.
Today the passengers were sent
to this city by railroad.
The Virginia's trip from Cincin-
natl was without mishap until
wheeling was reached early last
evening. AT this point a severe
wind storm was encountered and the
big packet was tossed about in the
Ohio river like a small boat. 1t
was impossible to effect a landing
at Wheeling. and the Virginia con-
unued toward this city.
About II o'clock the steamer
which Is said to have been leaking
badly from an earlier accident. en-
tered the channel here. When vet
some distance from shore the steam
er struck an obstruction with ter
r1hc force. The passengers were
thrown from their berths. Baggage
and valuables were forgotten.
After the excited passengers had
reached the salon they were quickly
surrounded by crew of seventy-five
men and quieted. Boats were
brought into service and before the
steamer settled hll were safely
ashore.
Most of the passengers were from
southern points.
