During fhe month of June the boat made an upriver trip, and after unloading at this point she started down the river with a fair load. firct stop was made ut Nebraska v, where supplies were taken on, and during the night of Jun the hoat weighed anchor and started for St. Joseph. During the time that the boat was in this vicinity Weisenerder had conceived the idea of operating & rope ferry at Aspinwall and had stretched o wire from the Nebraska to the Iowa shore of the riv The ofticers of the boat knew nothing of this, and at 6 o'clock on the morning of June 23, going at full speed, the beat struck the rope. It slipped over the bow, swept the deck and carried away the pilot house, Captain Consollas was on watch, and as the rope came over the deck he tried to run, but before he could take half a dozen steps he was caught and nearly cat in two. The ship surgeon was called, but before he could get, out of the cabin the captain was dend. I'he boat was at once run ashore and re- pairs made, after which it went out of the river trade, An effort was made to settle with the owner of the ferry, but he refusing to enter- tain any propopostion, suit for 10,000 has been brought, $,000 for dumages sustained by the ferry company and the other §5,000 for the life of the man who was kitled.
