The steamer River Queen, with about
200 eolored excursionistaaboard, colliiled
with a barge in tow of the steam barge
Dauiel K. Jackson a shortdistance north
ol this citv sbortly before nine o'clock
r? irday ahrbt andtheexcursion steam?
er waa beached near the Magazine wharf,
on the Marvland side of the river, to
avoid sinking in the deep water. The
River Queen waa on her way down the
river at the time of the accident. There
wa- no panic. At an early hour yester?
day morning the steamer Pokanoket took
most of the excursionists oft the River
Queen and carried them to Washington.
Some of the eolored people refused to re
main on the steamer during the uight,
and wading ashore proceeded to Wash?
ington via Anacostia. The River Queen
remained on the mud until 9 o'clock
yesterday morning. An exceptionally
bigh tide came in, and with the
assistance ol the Randall line steam?
er Wakefield the boat was pulled
oft' and she proceeded to her wharf
in Washington under her own steam.
She will be repaired immediately.
The steamer Jackson, with the lumber
barge in tow, was connog up the river,
Capt. Hart, of the River Queeu, said
that there were lighta on the Jackson,
but no v ay of telling that the Jackson
had a tow. The Jackson gave a signal
to keep off, but when Captain Hart
thought he bad cleared the steamer he
awimg iu with the River Queen, only to
diacove* that be was upon the lumber
barge C.tpt. Hart, himself, took the
wheel at that moment, but was unable
to prevent the accident. The starboard
sponsoti <?! the River Queen was torn off
f,,r adistanceof 25 ftetand the water
rushed iatojtbe hull and dewn into the firc
room. ' Th'e engineer said that in a very
Bhort time there was a foot of water in
the fire room. Capt. Thomas A. Owen
Of the Jackson, said that be had the
proper ligbta out He was bringing the
barge, loaded with lumber, from Quan
tico, Virginia. The damage_ to the
River Queen is estimated at $75. The
loaa of the acow aad lumber cannot be
aoeorately estimated. There was board
40,000 ftet of lumber, aud much of this
floated down the river, Responsibility
foAbe accident ia a subject of disput^.
F.aeli captain accuses the other of turn
Ing in upon him. The River Queen
offlcera aay that tbe Daniel K. Jackson
carried ooly one light, and not two, m
dicatiog aoaaetbiag was iu tow, Capt.
Thomas A. Owen says he had up the
