RIVER RlPLETS

tIuscatine, July 15.-Because of an
accident to the machinery of the steam
er Columbia, the excursion which was
to have been held here by the St Mat
thias Industrial did not take place.
Early il the morning the men were
about to blow out the mud drum, when
the packing gave way and it was nee
essary to shut off steam and allow the
boilers to cool down before the repairs
necessary could be made. This of
course meant that a delay of several
hours would be necessary in starting
the up-river trip to Davenport, and for
that reason the voyage was called off.
