THE RIVER QUEEN DISABLED.
Paddle Wheel of Excursion Vessel
Is Damaged.

The steamer River Queen. employed
in taking colored excursions from this
city to Washington Park. on the Mary
land side of the river. short distance
below Alexandria. disabled the big
paddle wheel on her port side as she
was on her way up the river yesterday
afternoon. The little tug d. NJ. Key
had to be called into service to tow her
to her dock. at the foot OF N street
southwest for repairs. The steamer
had made her trip to Washington Park
yesterday morning and was of the
steel plant pier on the return trip
when the accident occurred.
1t is supposed that some OF the big
bolts that hold the arms and rims Of
the wheel gave way as 1t pounded the
water and this caused the outer part
Of the wheel to trip. There was only
a few persons on the vessel and no
one was hurt. AS soon as the vessel
was docked Weber & Thomas put me-
chanics on the steamer and they work
ed all night in order to get her ready
to make her trips today.
