EVENING OF A STEAMER ON THE
OHIO RIVER
Loss of Twelve Lives.
[From the Pittsburgh Post of Saturday.]
* t: OH Thursday afternoon ; the steamboat
Financier, commanded by Capt. jno. Dar
ragh, left he Monongahela wharf of this
. city, for New Orleans. She had proceeded
down the river as far as Remington, near
Rochester, in Beaver county, when a fire
broke out in one of the state rooms, and de
fying all efforts to quench it, resulting in
the death of ten persons and the destruc
tion of the boat. As near as we can learn
the particulars they are as follows: Among
thepassengers, was a Mrs. Rothschild, who,
with her husband and two children ,was start
ing for her home in Texas. When the boat
was about eighteen miles below the city,
near Crow's Island, Mrs. Rothschild ap
proached her state room door with a lighted
lamp. The chambermaid requested her not
to go into the state room with the lamp as it
was against the rules. Mrs. R. said there
was not the slightest danger, and to show
her confidence, commenced shaking the
lamp. In a moment the lamp exploded,
scattering the burning oil all over Mrs.
Rothschild, and enveloping her in a sheet of
flame. Several persons ran to her to help
extinguish the fire, but before they reached
her she had rushed into the state room.
After a short time they succeeded in extin
guishing the burning clothing on the unfor
tunate woman, bat not before the had been
frightfully burned about the face and neck.
In the meantime the fire from her cloth
ing had caught among the bed clothes in the
state-room, and by the time that the atten
tion of the passengers was somewhat re•
lieved from the suffering woman, thefiames
in the room had gained such headway that
all efforts to check them were in vain. See-,
.ing this the officers of the boat took imme
diate measures to save the passengers from
the fiery death that impended. As we have
said, the boat was about opposite Crow's
Island. There is about ten feet of water
there, and the captain gave immediate or
ders to have the boat run ashore. While
still some distance from the shore the boat
grounded, being so heavily laden that she
could not get any nearer,
and even had it
been otherwise, the heat had become so in
tense that the pilots were forced from their
positions, and the boat would have had to
take care of herself. Despite the efforts of the
officers and the cooler passengers, many
among the passengers, in their frantic
terror, leapect from the boat to the water.
An attempt was made to launch a staging,
and at last the effort succeeded and a num
ber of passengers were placed upon it. As it
floated away, however, others attempted to
jump upon it, and it was capsized, throwing
all who were upon it into the water. The
wife and daughter of the captain were upon
the staging, and were lost, but Mr. Russell,
the clerk, Mr. Joseph Darragh, the engineer,
and some others who were also upon it suc
ceeded in swimming ashore.
There were but thirteen passengers,
among whom were Mr. Emanuel Rothschild,
his wife and two children, who had been
visiting Mr. Kauffman, of this city, and
were on their way home to Texas. Besides
the regular passengers there were the wife
and daughter of Captain Darragh, and the
wife of Mr. Joseph Darragh, the engineer.
The tow-boat Coal Bluff and the Lenti Leoti,
rendered most valuable aid to the sufferers
from the catastrophe. The latter brought
the survivors to this city.
So far as we could learn eleven lives were
lost by drowning. The following is a list of
the lost :
Mr. Emanuel Rothschild, his wife and
two children. They were seen to jump into
the water, and before they could be rescued
were all drowned, Mrs. Capt. Darragh and
her daughter, aged about fourteen. This
was the first trip ever made by Mrs. Dar
ragh. A colored man named Thomas
Bolder, employed as pantryman; also two
deck hands and a fireman whose names we
have not learned.
In addition to these, we a.,8 informed that
there was on board a gentleman who was so
sick as to be unable to leave his berth. His
brother-in-law succeeded in placing him on
the staging, and when he fell from that he
got him on a plank. The sick man, how
ever, was too much exhausted to eep his
position, and fell off and was probably
drowned.
The boat and cargo were entirely con
sumed. The cargo consisted of agricultural
implements, wagons, iron, nails, glass, etc.,
on board, for the Southern market, and
principally owned by manufacturers in this
city. Among the heaviest shippers were
Messrs. John Hall ik Co., Hall & Speer, J.
C. Bidewell, Spraft, Jones it Co., Phelps,
Parke it Co. and Shoenberger & Co., all of
whom are aeleast - pa , tially insured.
The Financier was built in April, 1864,
and was owned by Captain John Darragh,
who was in command, Cal Stain James Ras
-sell, chief clerk, and Joseph Darragh, first
-engineer. She was a side-wheeler, one hun
dred and fifty-three feet in length, thirty
five feet in breadth, and had six feet depth
of hold. She was valued at about $32,000,
and was insured for $25,000, all in Pittsburgh
. offices, the amount being divided equally
:,among the following offices: Pittsburgh,
EureEa, Citizens, and Monongahela.
Mr. Russell, the clerk, was in the office at
the time of the explosion, and had sufficient
. presence of mind - to lock thesafe, so that the
money and valuables will probably be
recovered. The books and papers of the
beat, and the clothing of the officers, how
ever, are all lost. The cargo was insured
to the amount of $43,200.
Search for the bodies commenced yester
day morning at an early hour, and at about
ten o'clock the bodies of Mr. Rothschild and
Mrs. Darragh were found near the scene of
the accident. Neither was much disfigured.
Mr. R. had his arms open, as if he had died
clasping his infant children. His remains
were brought to the residence of Mr. Hauff
man, Robinson street, Allegheny. Coroner
Clawson was summoned to hold an inquest,
but having no jurisdiction in the case he
declined. The Coroner of Beaver county
has been sent for.
WIRTSEMENTS.
BROUGHAM AT THE WALNUT.-Mr. John
Brougham begins an engagement of six
nights this evening, being succeeded by
"Edwin Booth next week. His drama of
"Playing With Fire" will be produced to
night, and on each evening the bill will be
changed, pieces like "David Copperfield,"
"Pocahontas," "Flies in the Web,""Meta
inora," &c., following each other. Of course
the house will be crowded each evening.
Those wishing eligible seats should secure
them in advance.
MISS MAGGLE MITCHELL AT THE CHEST
/TOT.—This evening Miss Mitchell appears
for the first time in five years in this city.
She will present her greatest impersonation
-Fanchon, in the pay of that name. We
are glad to learn that she will be supported
by Mr. J. W. Collier. It is also stated that
Mr. G. H. Clarke has recovered from his
recent illness and will appear. This will
be good news for the admirers of this ex
tremely able actor.
BARBETT AT THE Anca.—Mr. Lawrence
P. Barrett appears at the Arch this evening
as Lagardere in "The Duke's Motto," sup
ported by Robson, Marlowe, Tilton, James,
Wallis,Xiss Price, Mrs. Crease. Mrs. Wor
rell, We hope this play will be followed
by some of Mr. Barrett's efforts in higher
branches of dramatic art.
THE RAVELS.—The three Ravel brothers
appear this evening at the Academy of
Music, and the programme presented is one
of the most superb yet offered. Now that
Frangois Ravel has joined the troupe may
we not hope that they will give us that most
fascinating dance, La Jota Aragonesa ?"
Those of the theatre-going public who re
call how well the Ravels performed this
during a former engagement at the Walnut
Street Theatre, would hall a repetition of
"La Jota" with Pepita and Frangois Ravel
well supported, sailing like swans, or, dart
ing like swallows,through the slow or swift
measures ef this lovely dance.
AT THE AMERICAN a very popular bill
will be given this evening, including the
vutire strength of the huge company.
SIGNOR BLITZ appears each evening and
cm Wednesday and Saturday afternoons at
Assembly Building. The Sphynx is still
the main wonder.
MittiFRANK. MORDAIINT.—We have here
tofore 'alluded to the close of the engage
ment of Mr. Mordaunt, the popular
"leading man" at the Chestnut. He made
his last appearance on Satuday night in
his justly celebrated character of
McClosky in "The Octoroon," and,
goes, we believe, to Pittsburgh for a taster
star engagement. In respect to power and
breadth of conception we know of no young
actor who is his superior. He is fall of fire,
energy and life, and he never undertakes a
character into which he does not infuse
intense vitality. He has a bright .career
before him and we wish him the most
aundant success and a grand laurel crown.
CITY BULLETIN.
WEST PHILADELPHIA.—Yesterday was
almost a gala day in that section of the city.
Unlike the previous Sabbath the air was soft
and balmy, and the ladies turned out en
masse. West Philadelphia; like Brooklyn,
abounds in churches, and this time the
reverend clergy were blest with a goodly
auditory. We only looked in at some four
or five of the sacred edifices. The "New
Baptist Church," Thirty-sixth ands Chest
nut, Rev. J. H. Castle; the "Walnut Street
Presbyterian," Rev. J. G. Butler, D. D.;
"St. James's" (Catholic), Thirty-eighth and
Chestnut, Rev. Fathers Martin and O'Mal
ley; the "Berean" (Baptist),Chestuut, above
Fortieth, Rev. Mr. Cooper, with the "As
bury" (Methodist Episcopal), Chestnut,
above Thirty-third, were all exceedingly
well attended. The afternoon services to
the insane, Philadelphia Hospital were
unusually imposing, the Rev. Mr. Schoele
and Rev. Francis C. Pearson officiating.
The text was from the Saviol's Sermon on
the Mount, chapter v, verse 6: "Blessed are
they who do hunger and thirst after righteous
ness, for they shall be filled." Mr. S. was
very happy in his remarks, and was lis
tened to with much attention. The fine
choir of this institution turned out in fall
force, Miss Emma Pennell and other ladies,
assisted by Mr. J. E. Hope, leader of the
"Haydn Quintette," and other members.
The organist was Mr. Davis, Walnut street
Presbyterian Church, who officiates regu
larly every Sunday. The music was, of
course, very fine, almost an oratorio in
itself.
We noticed, during the latter part of the
afternoon, that quite a number of persons,
some thirty or forty, were engaged in re
pairs on the Pennsylvania State Central
Railroad below South street, laying new
"track stringers." They had over a square
torn up, and were progressing with much
rapidity, intending to continue the work
every succeeding Sunday until it is finished.
The whole of the extensive trestle work
over the meadows will have to be relaid.
'The track on the bridge, as well as that on
the city side, is in good order. Laborers
were likewise employed in repairs on the
West Chester Railroad between South and
Chestnut streets.
I So much has been said of the Chestnut
Street Bridge, and the probabilities of .its
early completion, that we determined to
make a thorough examination of the pre
mises, and found matters and things just as
we expected. On the West side only two
of the iron joists, which are to support the
floor, have been laid, and on the Eastern
side only eleven—thirteen in all. These
eleven were only put in place, on Saturday
afternoon, between the hours of four and
six, when nearly all the hands employed in
constructing the bridge, twenty-seven in
number, were dischared, only seven or eight
being retained, all blacksmiths, to tinker
away on the edifice, and keep up appear
ances. On inquiry, we found that the dis
charge of the hands was owing to the fact
that there was no material to go on with,
the Kaighn's Point foundry failing to far
nish the joists, according to contract. Of
course everything remains in obeyance until
they do. The contractors, however,say tha t
if they are able to procare the Iron hey will
have the bridge in running order early in
August. Thisis, however, extremely prob
lematical, as the whole flooring has to be
laid before a track can be put down. What
work is done on the bridge, however, is well
done, and when it is completed it will be
permanent and beautiful structure.
The fair of St. Agatha, at the Commission
ers' Hall, will be continued to-night, to
enable the beneficiares to dispose of the
balance of their stock.
The police business of this district was
confined, during Saturday and Sunday, to
ordinary cases of vagrancy and drunken
ness. Some eight or ten arrests were made
and summarily disposed of. This morning,
however, the station exhibited a little extra
excitement. The police, always on
the alert, took into custody a
German, under more than ordinarily
suspicious circumstances. He made a des
perate resistance, but was finally captured.
He was very.heavily armed. Quite a num
ber of knives were found noon his person
as well as the latest daily with the Sunday
papers, containing the account of the late
murder in the 'Neck." He violently
assaulted the officers. He was at once
committed by Alderman Allen.
Tho Saturday's business at the Alms
house amounted to—Admissions, 14; births,
1; elopements, 11, and discharges, 42. Sun
day—Admission, 2; births, 2; discharges, 3,
and escapes, 11. The census of this, Mon
day imorning, 1865—Inmates, 2,613 ; 1866,
3,116. Increase 98.
MYSTERIOUS a dUEDER.—On Saturday it
was announce in the BULLETIN that the
body of an unknown white man has been
found in the Delaware, at Pier No. 19, Port
Richmond. When an examination was
made it was found that the skull had been
cloven . with an axe or hatchet from the
crown down to the month. Deceased was
apparently sixty years old, was about five
feet eleven inches in height, and had gray
hair. There were no clothes on the
f b a o s d h y o — n a e r d o stock
the
he n corpses an old
was supposed
to have been in the water _about two
months. Coroner Taylor took charge of
the body, and will hold an inquest upon it
at the earliest moment that (witnesses can
be obtained. During the *inter the cap
tain of a coasting vessel disappeared mys
teriously and was believed to have been
foully dealt with. The body found may
prove to be his.
CITY MORTALITY.—The number of inter
ments in the city during the past week was
256 against 315 during the same period last
year. Of the whole number 122 were adults
and 134 children; 60 being under one year of
age; 126 were males, 130 females, 76 boys and
58 girls. The greatest number of deaths
occurred in the Twenty-fourth Ward, being
20, and the smallest number in the Twenty
first Ward, where only one was reported.
The principal causes of death were con
sumption, 34; convulsions, 14; disease of the
heart, 6;, scarlet fever, 11; typhoid fever, 5;
inflammation of the brain, 9; inflammation
of the lungs, 23; old age, 17 and suicide, 4.
