TERRIBLE CALAMITY.
llMiiao" H'rrr Exrttaloi Mttmr ExpUJea
lr Holler Opsonlts Nw York.
Kew Yokk, Aug. 28.--About 8:50
this afternoon, the people who wero
in tho neighborhood of the foot of
Fouxtecnth street and North river
Vere startled by the sound of aucxplo
8iou coming from tho direction of the
river. Looking out in mid-stream,
ti.nv saw the Hudson steamer Uiver-
dalo enveloped in steam, and, in loss
than six minutes afterward, she kttled
to one side and capsized, opposite
Sixteenth having lloated that fur.
About fifteen different tugs, from this
cily and Iloboken, hurried to whcio
the vessel lay. There wero over 10u
passengers on board when vhe left
the foot of Harrison street for Haver,
straw, Borne of these were hurled
into the air and fell back into the wa
ter. Others were compelled to jump
into the river to escapo tho hissing
steam that filled all parts o' l o v?
6el, or to avcid going dowa w .:j j.er.
The cause of the disaster was ai.
explosion of the boiler, which was
amidships. When the boiler burs,
the air was fulled -with flyii.g do oris
and broken woodwork. The plo-
bouso was snapped like a pjpo-sfcm
and toppled over into the water.
About titty people were killed, tcme
blown into eternity and others met
their fate by being drawa down with
the whirlpool caused by the linking
vessel. Those who were Uoatir.g cc
swimming in the river were picked
up by tugs and row-boats that came
to their rescue.
Of the passengers aboard the Iliver
dale, some wero blown up with the
explosion, but from the best accounts
obtainable the number was small,
there were some few in the cabins at
the time. No exact estimate can at
present be gained as to the number
of lives lost. The acccounts of the
number of passengers vary from 150
to 200, and the killed from ten to fifty.
There is reason to believe that nearly
all had a chance to escape. The
hour at which the explosion occurred,
between 8:80 and 8:45 p. m., the en
gineer was about to enter the engine
room to slow up, as another steam
boat was at their landing, when an
ominous rumble was heard proceed
ing from the boiler, and in a moment
a terrible explosion occurred, blowing
out the entire side of the vessel, and
leaving only a helpless, sinking hull.
The force of the explosion was down
ward, apparently. The rapidity with
which the vessel sank showed the
bottom to be blown out. Hardly a
minute elapsed between the explosion
and the sinking of the shattered hull
in the whirlpool into which the strug
gling and swimming were drawn.
The river is strewn with wreckage of
cabin doors, beams and boards. Fur
niture is floating about, and proving
the force of the explosion. Tugs and
small boats put out in swarms from
docks and Jersey shores and began to
work rescuing the drowning passen
gers and crew. The number saved
shows how efficient their work was.
The accounts of the manner of the
explosion differ. Those on the boat
agree that it was hidden, and entirely
without warning. A policeman fho
bad been a boiler maker was standing
at the foot of Bloomfield street. His
attention was attracted by the sound
of escaping steam; looking out on
the river he saw the Eiverdale going
up stream, partly enveloped in steam
that escaped with a loud noise from
her side; saw the people rush from
the lower t6 the upper deck and make
ready to throw themselves into the
river. The next moment the explo
sion came. The Reliance, a coal-tar
boat, was near when she blew up, and
immediately began the work of rescu
ing the drowning people. Her crew
diewnearly forty from the water. Other
steamers and tugs hastened to the
scene and so quickly did they reach
it that those who escaped injury by
the explosion had no time to drown.
The steam yachts of Jay Gould and
E. S. Jsilray were lying at the foot of
west Twenty-Second street at the
time. Both'Gould and Jaffray had
just gone ashore when the accident
occurred. Upon hearing the explo
sion they turned about, putting out
to the scene of the wreck in their gigs
nd ordered their yachts to follow
ithout delay; both engaged in the
work of giving aid whenever needed
with great zeal. All who were in
ght in the water bad been picked up.
The rescued were taken ashore and
sent to their homes in this city or put
on board the steamer Christen for
beir destination up the river. The
injured and the dead were taken io
die foot of west Thirteenth street,
when the entire ambulance force cf
the city had been summoned.

How Weapons First Came to bo Em
ployed. Popular Orient Monthly.
The idea of employing weapons
for assault or defense was a logical
result of the first contests that took
place between man and man. In
these contests tho strongest man with
his native weapons his fists was
unconsciously tho father of all arms
and nil armed strength, for his weak
er antagonist woxdd early seek to re
stoio tho balance of power between
tliem by the use of some sort of
wcf.ioii. The shorter-armed man
j lengthened his striding power by tho
J ueo of a stick, and found, after a
time, tho help its leverago and weigh
alforded him.
The first case in which tho chance
selected, heavy ended staff and club,
showed that weight or hardness had
its value, wns a first step toward f urn
ishing.it with a strong head. Hence
the blow of the fists was the forerun
1 1 of the flushing weapon.
In the sii me way tho pointed stick
became the lance or dagger; and the
thrown shaft, helped, as knowledge
increased, by the bow or "throwing
stick," was tho precursor of tho dart
and. arrow. The character of the
first weapon was largely determined
by the nature of the materials from
which they were derived, and their
shape partly from this and partly by
copying the forms of the weapons
possessed by the animals the . primi
tive men slew.
Hencearif es the general similarity
in character and shape of the earliest
tcols from all parts of the world.
A blundeeino compositor, in setting
up the toast: "Woman without
her, man would bo a savage," got the
punctuation in the wrong place, which
made it read: "Woman, without
her man, would be . savage."
The earnings of the Texas and
Pacific for the fourth week in July
were 171,482, against 117,248 same
week last year.
The Transcontinental Meat Com
pany at Kictoria has purchased 3,000
head of cattle for $90,000.
