which, however, may be compelled TO
issue an appeal for charity. The same
can he said OF other places. On the sub
sidence of the waters there is serious dan

Biiou-"Uncle Toms cabin.-

After an absence of several seasons that
old favorite, Uncle Toms Cabin, :" has been
resurrected here, and is the attraction at
the Bijou this week. If the crowded houses
yesterday were any indication of the popu-
larity OF this drama of slavery days, its
hold upon the playgoer is as strong almost
as in It's early days. Manager Stowe has
surrounded his very strong combination
with a scenic frame that is most faithful,
and the many characteristic scenes of PLAN
tation life that he has interspersed here and
there during the course Of the play add

steamer Ahre

NEW YORK, May l0.-It was a grue- some sight on the Mallory steamer Leona today to see thirteen bodies,
 blackened by fire and smoke, lying m the steamers steerage. The men and women on deck looked as though they had passed through an awful ordeal. No one was allowed to leave the vessel until after the coroner had viewed the bodies and gave per mission for the removal of them. Coroner Hoeder, as a matter of form, placed Captain Wilder under
 arrest. He was paroled in custody of MT. Mallory. Thomas Doyle, aged 67, of Patterson, New Jersey, who was on his way to Vallejo, CalI- fornia, to see his uncle and aunt, wiil be detained until the inquest Is held. Doyle was among the steerage passengers who occupied hunks o.
 the starboard sid of the vessel. He said that among the passengers who could speak English was young
 Irish girl, Lizzie Sullivan, on her way to Los Angeles, California. Doyle stated he was lying asleep early on Sunday morning, when he was awakened by sufocating fee. ing. The apartment was filled with smoke. He made for the companicu
 way leading to the upper deck At the entrance of the companion way the stewart was standing shouting. Doyle started up and found two men precede him. He fell back hay ing lost hls balance, and when be started up again, was assisted hy some one from behind, who pushed him up. Samuel D. Sehillscraute, from Hungary, on his way to settle at Columbus, Texas, said many lives might have be9n saved if the crew had done any thing to help the smothering passenger. Schillscraute said he general impression was that the fire was caused by a lighted match being dropped into the cargo. He declares he saw the members of ! tlle crew smoking and they were very careless in throwing away the matches. Along the shore today, it was thought strange that the fire was not discovered earlier. It must {; have been smouldering for several 1 davs.
