Sndden Cullapséinra Floating Cofiin in North River, New York, An Unknown Number Blown Up and Out or Gathered Into the Whirlpool. Two Bodies Recovered and Several Scalded and Maimed Turned Over to the Dootors. The Top and Bottom Blown to Pieces and the Sides Disappear Under Water. New York, August 28,—At about ten minutes to four this afternoon people who were in the neighborhood of the foot -of Fourteenth street and North River were startled by the sound of an explosion coming from the direction of the river. Looking out in midstream they saw the hull of the steamer River- dale enveloped in steam. In less than six minutes she keeled to the side and capnized opposite Sixteenth street, she having floated that far. Instantly about fifteen different tugs steamed from this city and Hoboken to where the sunken vessel lay. There were over 100 passengers on board of the Riverdale when she left the foot of Farrison strect for Haverstraw. Some of these were HURLED INTO THE AIR and then fell back into the water, and others were compelled to jump into the river to cscape the hissing stean that had filled all parts of the vessel, or to avoid going down with her. The cause of the isaster was the explosion of the boiler which was placed amidships. When the boiler burst the air was filled with flying debris and broken wood work. The pilot hovse snapped like a pipestem and toppled over into the water. About FIFTY PEOPLE LOST THEIR LIVES, some being blown into eternity, and oth- ers met their death by being drawn down with the whirlpool, caused by the sinking of the vessel. Those who were floating or swimming about in the river, were picked up by the tugs and row bonts that came to_ the rescue. Three dead bodies were also brought in by the boats. Mrs. Sisson, of Tarrytown, N. Y.,an unknown man, whose body was taken to the morgue and a boy whose identity has not been ascertained, was also taken to thc morgue.

HFELPING HANDS, The ficemen of several engine and hook and ladder companies stationed nearest to the scene of the disaster were called out, without their apparatus, how- ever, and did good service, as did also members of the steambont squad. Police- man Michael Killila, of Charles street station, was the first to help the wovnded firoman, George A. Dimes, on shore from the boat at the foot of Twelfth street [ never saw a man in such suffering,” said the officer, “‘and I hope I may not witness such another sight again. The poor fellow squirmed and his flesh was peeling off in blisters. led at once an ambulance driver nearest me and had the unfortunate man sent to St. Vinbeut hospital. I then went in search of other injured persons and when I came to the fout of Fourteenth strest I saw a man pulling rapidly to the wharf. His boat contained the body of a woman whose legs were evidently broken. She must have been crushed by falling timbers while sitting on the deck and then blown overboard.” . Of the passengers aboard the River- dale some were blown up with the explo- sion, but from the best accounts obtain ablg the number was smull, as there were few in the cabins at the time. No exact idea can at present be gained asto the number of lives lost. Accounts of the number of passengers vary from 50 to 200 and of the killed from 10 to 50. The most trustworthy accounts place the number of killed from 4 to 6. There is reason to believe that nearly all had a chance to escape when the explosion oc- curred. The engineer was about entering the engine room to slow up, as another steamboat was at their landing, when the ominous rumbling was heard, proceeding from the boiler, and in a moment a terri- ble explosion occurred, blowing out the entire inside of the vessel, leaving only a helpless sinking hull. The torce of the explosicn was downward, the apparent rapidity with which the vessel sank showing the bottom was blown out. Hardly a minute elapsed between the ex- losion and and sinking of the shattered Eull in the whirlpool into which the struggling swimmers were driven. The river was strewn with wreckage. liceman who was standing at the K?ot of Bloomfield street had his attention a‘tracted by the sound of ESCAPING STEAM, Looking out on the river he saw the Riverdule going up stream partly envel- roar from her side. He saw people rush from the lower to the upper deck and make ready to throw themselves into the river. The next minute the explosion came. *The Reliance,” a coal far hoat, was near the Riverdale when the blew up, and immediately began thg work of rescuing the drowning people. Hercrew drew nearly 40 from|the water. Others steamers and tugs hastened to the scene, and so quickly did they reach it that it is thought none of those who s caped injury by the explosion had time to drown. The rescued were taken ashore, d sent to their homes. The injured nd dead were taken to the foot of West hirteenth street, where the entire am- bulance force of the city had been sum- moned. Tne following is a list of those known to be KILLED OB INJURED. Mrs. Julia Sisson, aged 68, of Tarry- town, drowned; body recovered, Thomas Gregg, aged 82, this city; body found wedged in on the port side of the vessel. Theso are the only ones positive- 1y known to be lost. John Crevet, firemen, is missing, be- lioved to be killed. It is feared others who have not yet been reported were also lost, but the number is not believed to be large. The following were injured: Georgo A. Dimes, aged 24, fireman, scalded, cannot live, Orvillo Gardner, the Evangelist, aged 56, Brooklyn, soalded badly, not thought fatally. Thos. J. Sauls, aged 26, badly scalded. Nicholas Salais, aged 40, right thigh broken. Wm, P. Henry, aged 18, hands and feot brui-sl Tzeral Lazarus, deck hand, badly bruised, James Tobin and Nelson McGee, scalded and bruised. Edward Tallman, engineer, said he could not explin the cause of the acci- dent by any theory whatever. The boil- ers were new four years ago, when the boat was entively rebuilt and refitted. The explosion was_apparently the result of some hidden defect. The Riverdale was built thirty-five years ago. S — SPORTING NOTES. Another Victory for the Omaha Boys. Special dispatch to THE Ber.
