Had Premonition.

Divers are at work near the scene
OF the sinking Of the Saltillo trying
to rescue the bodies of the unfortu-
nate passengers The current is
swift at the bend in the river, and
they may be washed miles down the
stream. Relatives Of Fowler Post
received a telegram this morning
from Captain James Roger, who Is
vice president of the packet company
that no expense was being spared
to recover the bodies OF the passen-
gers and members Of the crew
Tn night Of the tragedy and al
most at the time II happened Mrs.
Edmund NJ. Post, mother of Fowler
Post, was seized with an almost un-
comfortable spell of nervousness.
which continued an hour or more.
She wept, but told those, who asked
her the reason that she didn't know
why.
Nashville papers say that Col.
Rhea, whose wife and daughter were
drowned, was in a nervous condition
and with his son was trying to walk

came.
Steersman Rush Arrives.
Tired out from the loss of sleep.
Herbert Rush, steersman on the ILL.,
fated steamer City of Saltillo, was
the nrst eye witness OF the disaster
near ST. Louis to reach the city. He
arrived last night and passed
through Paducah. en- route to his
home at Brookport. III
At the time OF the accident Rush
was in the pilot house with Ed Pell,
and was able to give an accurate des-
cription of the disaster He said
that the boat was going down the
river al a speed of about Is miies
when the smoke from the lime kilns
blinded the pilot. II was about 9:45
O'Clock. The crew discovered that
the boat was caught in the powerful
eddy caused by a bend in the river.
The engines we're reversed, but 1t
was useless.
Rush said the accident happened
so quickly that he scarcely realized
liz. He remained in the pilot house
until the boat settled and then
climbed out on the roof and began
assisting passengers to the life boats.
Rush left the scene Of the disaster
yesterday morning at o'clock.
When he reached the city last night
he was tired, but crossed the river
in a sklff to assure his parents OF
his safety.
Given Fowler, an uncle Of Fowler
Post, and Mr.. Cook Husbands left
last night for st. Louis to make ar
irangements for the shipment OF the
lbody home, when II is found.

CATION officials at once began an IN
yestlgation into the astonishing and.
in late years. unprecedented, loss OF
life which attended the sinking OF the
steamer City of Saltillo. Twelve
persons. seven OF them passengers,
were drowned within a dozen feet
Of the bank when, in the intense
darkness, the gang plank, or stage
on which they had crowded, struck
tree, overturned and threw them
into the Mississippi.
Capt. Harry C. Crane said Thurs
day that the passengers crowded on
the fitting gangplank by his permis-
sion as the pilot swung the boat TO-
ward land. His reason for permit
ting them to be there was the need
for haste in clearing the boat. the
