THE GOLDEN CITY.
All Hope of Recovering the Victims
from the Wreck AbandOned-The
Captain of the Watch Held Re-
spOnsIble.

MEMPHIS, April 1.-The Coroner's jury,
which has been holding an inquest for the
past two days on the remains of the woman
found floating 10 the water near the wreck
of the steamer Golden City. returned YER
dict this afternoon to the effect that the
woman came to her death by violent means,
to-wit: By inhaling flaming fire on the
steamer Golden City on March 30; that the
fire was caused by Wash Smith, colored,
captain OF the watch, handling lamp and
setting fire to lot of jute stored on deck,
and that the said 1ute was not covered,
as It should have been to avoid accidents BY
fire; that stored near the jute were q lot of
tar and oil barrels, and that the manner in
which the said iute, tar aud barrels were
loaded, the absence of proper coverings,
and lack Of specific orders In regard to
carrying lamps through the boat,
showed criminal carelessness on the
part of the mate aud other officers of said
boat, whose duty 1t was to look after the
loading and management OF the boat In such
way as not to endanger human life. Wash.
Smith, captain of the watch, whose arrest
has been mentioned, remains in jail to await
the action of the grand jury, which meets
Monday morning.
All hope of recovering the dead bodies
from the wreck Of the steamer Golden City
has been abandoned. No further attempt
will be rSade until the river falls sufficient
ly to allow the divers to work with some
chance of success.
At the request OF several relatives Of
those who lost their lives by the burning of
the Golden City another attempt will be
made on Monday to recover the dad
bodies United States Inspectors CARROT
and Ralston are thoroughly investigating
the cause of the disaster.
MEMPHIS, April 2 Several parties visited
the wreck of the burned steamer Golden
City to-day, but nothing of special interest
was ascertained. The water rushes swiftly
over the wreck, and the noise made resem-
hles somewhat the roar of a cataract.
! Dynamite has been telegraphed for and will
be used in trying to raise any dead bodies
that might be anywhere between where the
steamer took fire and where the wreck now
lies. The remains of Mrs. Annie Smith, Of
Springfield, Massachusetts,, one Of the VIC
Tins, were inferred this afternoon at Elm
wood Cemetery.

FALL RIVER, Mass, April Thirteen
spinners at the Sycamore Mill struck this
morning, and It is expected that others will
follow. The strike was caused by a diff
Guilty between the spinners and the manage
ment of the mills. Tee spinners claim that
they were working at a disadvantage by
reason Of bad cotton and fast speed.
FALL RIVER, MASS, April 2.-The spin
ners at the Sycamore Mill met this after
noon and decided unanimously not to 90 to
work tomorrow morning. AS there is but
little filling on hand this will throw the
weayers out of work and necessitate the
shutting down of the mill unless new spin
ners are secured.
LAWRENCE, MASS, April "A mass meet
ing of weavers and operators was held at
the City Hall this evening. About 200
persons were present. There was much Ell
thusiasm, and a number of addresses were
made. The strikers greeted with Kisses any
advice urging any return to the Pacific Mil.
and eheered the speakers who counselled
standing out. John O'Giliey, President Of the
Weavers' Union, read q resolution, which
was adopted, to the effect that the citizens
of Lawrence rendered their sympathy to
the strikers, and endorsed their action.
Among the speakers were Hon. John K.
Tarbox and several State Representatives.
Mr.. Tarbox's remarks were generally favor
able TO the continuance of the strike, and 1t
is thought that the meeting has banded
together more firmly the dIscontented opera
