Now Known That Mrs Mckeen
 is Dead.

Passenger on the Ill-fated Steamer
 City of Statement Made by
 Mrs B. Grant Clapham-Another
 Victims Body Recovered.
 Philadelphia, Aug BOA statement made to-day by Mrs B. Grant Clap ham, who was a passenger on the City of Trenton with her two daugh- ters. Edna, aged [, and Amanda, aged ., establishes beyond reasonable doubt the fast of Mrs William H. Keen who had been reported among the missing. Mrs Clapham was in the cabin of the steamboat when the explosion oc- curfed. She was severely hurt and scalded by escaping steam and became separated from her children. While making a frantic search for her little ones Mrs Clapham says she was ae- costed by Mrs Keen, who said-she was badly injured and begged piteously for assistance. Mrs Clapham was forced to leave. Mrs kean to search for her children. She found both of them scalded by steam, but she succeeded in getting them to a place of safety from which they were taken by the rescuers. Until to-day Mrs Clapham was too much prostrated to make her statement regarding Mrs Keen.
 William H. Keen, the husband of the woman now placed in the list of known dead. took his wife and their daughter, Fanny D. Keen, 20 years, on the City of Trenton for a pleasure trip. He was found crushed to deaTh in the ruins of the steamboat. The daughter was terribly burned and the hospital physician says shs cannot re- cover
 With the death of the daughter the entire Keen family will be wiped out of existence. MT Keen was superin- tendent of a large Philadelphia dairy.
 Philadelphia. Aug 3O.-The body of another victim of Wednesdays steam boat disaster was recovered from the Delaware river by the police this morning. 1t is supposed to be that of Harry Johnson, 3G years, d grocer of Hulmeville, Pa. who was on his way home from Philadelphia. He leaves a widow and five children.
 This makes the tenth body recov- cred. of which eight have been iden- | tified Twp bodies, those of woman and a small girl. are unidentified. Nineteen are missing and it is almost certain that all of these are dead. Of | the eight persons remaining in the | hospital two will probably not recover. | Thus the net result of the awful ax- | plosion will be in the neighborhood of ! thirty deaths.

water freely, with milk for nourlsh-
