cEmhs TO His Terrible Injuries.
The Death List Now Numbers
Seven, and Two Others Are Not
Expected to Recover-Engineer
Murray Testifies at the Inquest
That the Walker Had Been
Racing With the Dauntless, the
Opposition Boat.

STOCKTON, Nov. ZS.-AnOther deatn
tonight makes the list of killed by the
blowing out of the steam drum of the
steamer T. c. Walker on Sunday morn
ing reach seven. OF the injured now
at the County Hospital it is said that
two will probably die, Jimmie CorcoIan
and G. Foppianno.
The last one to succumb to his terri
BILE injuries was Louis Brizzolara of
San Francisco. who did not recover
from the shock, and died tonight at
7:30 o'clock on the steamer Dauntless,
now on the way to San Francisco. The
sufferer was carried aboard the Daunt-
less at the scene of the accident Sun
day morning, when the opposition
steamer came along, and it was feared
then that he was seriously hurt. Ar
irving here the attending physicians
would not consent to removing him from
the stateroom on the steamer, for fear
he would pass away, as he had not re-
covered consciousness. To-day when
it was proposed to remove him the doc
tors said no. but they would accompany
him on the downward trip of the
steamer.
Doctors Fitzgerald and Oliverial re-
manned with the man constantly, and
endeavored to revive him, but he passed
away two hours after the steamer left
her wharf in this city
The deceased was a coal merchant
at 1915 Washington street, San Fran
. cisco, and was on a trip to Stockton
Sunday with his wife and his son-in-
law, Charles Maggini, of the firm of
Garcia & Maggini, commission mer-
chants of Washington and Drumm
streets, also Mrs. Maggini and a young
er sister. The party was standing on
the forward part of the upper deck of
the Walker when the explosion came,
and the old gentleman was the only one
hurt. He was struck by some part of
the woodwork, and received a stunning
blow on the right side, just above the
hip, and was cooked adj up the back by
the escaping steam.
At the inquest held to-day Engineer
Murray was the most important wit
ness. He took the engines from En-
gineer Henry, who with his wife was
killed, at midnight Saturday and had
the engines in charge at the time of
the explosion. Murray said that when
he relieved Henry the latter said they
had been having a spin with the Daunt-
less, the opposition boat. Murray said
further that they had discovered leak
in the steam drum that exploded a week
ago. and were waiting for Sunday to
make repairs.
Jerry Daley, who was one of the first
employees to die, leaves a wife and eight
children in Oakland, and his remains
will be shipped there in the corning.
w. A. Blunt, the passenger who was
killed at the time of the accident, leaves
wife and four children on the Moss
Tract near this city.
The case of Mrs. Carl Simon, wife
of a well-known business man of this
city, is an unfortunate one. She and
her little daughter had a front room on
the Walker, and the force of the explo-
sion threw the key out of the door. Mrs
Simon was in darkness when the cleo
tric lights went out, and imprisoned in
the room with steam all around her
and the shrieks of dying and wounded
she was SO terrified that when she was
rescued she was unconscious, and she
remained so until this afternoon In
her spells of delirium she has constant
" called for help for herself and child,
and cried over the dreadful scenes she
witnessed. Careful nursing and con-
slant care will bring her out. the ply
sicians say. but the shock is a very Sc
rious one for the lady, and has caused
her relatives great alarm.
Bob Fyfe, Deputy County Clerk of
San Joaquin County, who was a pas
senger on the Inflated steamer T. c.
Walker, gives a very graphic account
of some of the tragic incidents that pre-
