His condition was pronounced as critical at the  hospital today.  The cause of the accident was fixed by a coroner J M Fadley a short time after the accident. The boat had been inspected a few hours previous by G G Thomas, federal steamboat inspector. Officers of the boat advanced the opinion that the throttle valve was blown out as a result of the live steam coming into contact with cold, condensed steam used in the inspection which had not been removed before the steam was turned on. Boat officers emphasizied there was no explosion.  Robert Hesop, manager of the Point Pleasant Machine works and John Burnett,, an engineer employed by him , left the boiler room a few minutes before the mishap. No other damage was caused to the boat which was preparing to make a trip to Pittsburgh when the steam throttle blew out.  The packett, Senator Cordill , is in the Charleston and Pittsburgh trade. A year ago the steamer ran aground in the Kanawha river just above the South Charleston bridge , and remained there several weeks before being floated. ____________________________________________________________________________ ________ Be a better friend, newshound, and know-it-all with Yahoo!
