NEW YORK, May lot was grue-
some sight on the Mallory line steamer
Leona to-day.
Fourteen bodies, bIackened by fire and
smoke, were lying in the steamers steer
age. The men and women on the deck
looked as though they had passed
through an awful ordeal.
Nobody was allowed either to leave or
board the vessel until after the Coroner
had viewed the bodies and given per-
mission for their removal.
Coroner Hoeder, as a matter of form,
placed Captain Wilder under arrest He
was paroled in the custody of Mr. NAL

detained until the inquest
Mr.. Doyle was among the steerage
passengers who occupied hunks on the
starboard side of the vessel. He said
that among the passengers who could
speak English was a young Irish girl,
Lizzie Sullivan, on her way to Los Ange-
les. Cal.
Doyle stated that he was lying asleep
early Sunday morning when he was
found that the apartment was filed with
smoke. He made for the companion way
leading to the upper deck At the en-
trance to the companion way the stew
ard was shouting Doyle started up
and found that two men preceded him.
He fell back, having lost his balance.
and when he started up again. he was
assisted by some one from behind, who
pushed him up.
On reaching the deck Doyle says that
his first thought was for Lizzie Sulli-
van. and he started into the woman's
side of the steerage to rescue her. but
was pulled back by members of the
crew.
The crew worked like beavers to put
out the flames.
The matches, burlaps etc, which
caught fire. Doyle says, were stored Il
short distance from the steerage apart
ment.
Samuel d. Schilecraut, from Hun
gary. who was on his way to settle at
Columbus, Tex, said: Many lives might
have been saved if the crew had done
anything to help the smothering pas
sengers"
Schillecraut said the general impress
sion was that the fire was caused by a
lighted match dropped into the cargo,
He declares that he saw members of
the crew smoking, and that they We're
very careless in throwing away match

Along the shore to-day it was thought
strange that the fire was not discovered
earlier. 1t must have been shoulder

TWO POSSES OUT TO INTERCEPT
The CRIMINALS.

PHOENIX. May 10.-Two posses, one
headed by Sheriff Orme left Phoenix
early this morning for the Bradshaw
Mountains to intercept the criminals
who escaped yesterday noon from the
Prescott Jail, shooting two officers in
their flight. 1t is believed the fugitives
are heading for the Tonto Basin far out
of the reach of the telegraph. The
posses from here are proceeding on that
supposition and they believe they will
run down their quarry this afternoon.
Lee Norris. the young Assistant Dis
trict Attorney shot by the prisoners. died
this morning. The jai!er will proba bly,
recover.
PRESCOTT, May 10.-A telephone
message just received from Chaparral
from eX-Sheriff J. r. Lowry, one of the
posse pursuing the outlaws who broke
jail, states that the posse struck the
trail early this morning, and the fugit-
ives headed towards Auga Fria Valley,
where are several ranches. and from
which they will secure fresh horses. The
posse thought Parker had deserted
Miller and was alone, the Mexican ap-
parently having left the other two yes
terday morning afoot. The horse rid
den by them had lost one shoe. and as
he goes lame easily barefooted, had
hopes of soon overtaking him, unless a
fresh horse was secured.
Deputy Sheriffs from different parts
of the country called at Prescott to-day.
anG another posse was organized and
started in pursuit on fresh horses just
before noon.
The feeling here is very much worked
up since the death of Norris was an
nounced and cool l-headed. conservative
men are talking of lynching the out
laws if captured alive. This feeling is
intensified on account Of the passage
by the last Legislature of a law which
virtually acquits all murderers where
the crime was committed prior to the
passage of the law.
Two prisoners now in Jail here who
have been convicted and sentenced to
death. We're afterwards granted new
trials by the Supreme Court. and an
other whose trial has not yet taken
place, will be cleared through the opera
ton OF this law. A new law was enacted
defining murder and providing the pun
ishment, and all former laws repealed
without a saving clause, excepting cases
then pending. From forty to fifty muir
ders have been committed in this county
in the last six or seven years without
adequate punishment.
Nothing has been heard from the posse
in pursuit of the outlaws since noon.
Deputy Bon Rybon and j. d. Moore left
this afternoon with bloodhounds for the
scene of yesterdays afternoons battle
where the dogs viii be placed on trail,
in hope of running down Miller. If the
officers theory is correct no trouble will
has deserted Miller. as he is known to
be wounded, it is thought no trouble will
be experienced in running him to earth.
