DISASTER NEWS ABOUT EXHAUSTED

There are no more bodies. so far as
is known, to be found as a result Of
the Goloonda disaster. Last night
Mayor Lang received a telephone mes
sage from wickliffe that the body of
a child had been found floating in the
Mississippi river below wicklife.
From the description Mr.. W. A.
Hogan was confident the body was
that Of his ten year old son, Ira, and
instructed those in charge at Bardwel
to ship the remains to Paducah, and
as soon as they can be prepared, will
arrive, probably by boat tomorrow.
The body Of Mr.. John Meohan ar.
rived today from Cairo by rail The
deceased leaves a wife, and had been
a resident Of Paduoah for many years
Captain o. Bauer. Of the ill-fated
steamer, is out today, and nearly re-
covered from his illness. He stated
to a reporter today that he wished to
make a correction of report relative
TO the relief boat Mary NJ, witch
went to the wreck soon after il was
first reported. There seems TO be a
report abroad to the effect that Mr..
Joe Bishop, superintendent of the To-
cal branch Of the st. Bernard Coal
Co, at first refused to let his boat,
the Mary N, go to the wreck. The
statement is false, as he was more
than willing to have his boat make
the trip, and even furnished the boat
and all the crew free Of charge.
I The report might hurt Mr.. Bishop,
and | wish to have il known that it is
untrue and l appreciate the kindness
Of Mr.. Bishop and his men more than

There is nothing new Of the wreck.

1t is claimed that Capt Harpham,
of Cincinnati, will adjust the loss on
the boat as soon as he reaches Louis
willie. The statement that he would
not allow anything on 1t is denied. He
held a meeting with Capt. Bauer at
Commissioner Puryears office last
night, to formulate a report, and he
will prob ably return to Louisville to-

A DRUMMER THE SUPPOSED VICTIM

Fulton, KY, August "a. There has
been great excitement here over ho-
tel murder mystery. It is thought
by the police that a horrible crime
was committed in the Leland hotel.
one of the most notorious resorts in
this section of the state.
A few days ago the manager Of the
hotel. Ben Parker, closed the hotel
and suddenly aud silently left for
parts unknown. Yesterday it became
noised abroad that murder had been
committed in the place, and the police
were sent to investigate.
The place fairly reeked with filth
and the officers could scarcely breath
for the foul odorc. When the place
was entered no body was found, but
there was every evidence that crime
had been committed. The grip of
William Short, of Lexington, KY,
travelling for knight and Brown, med
ical and scientific publications, New
York, was found, and on the bed
there was large pool of ! blood, and
prints of bloody hands and fingers on
the covering and door.

A dispatch from Lexington states
that there is no such man there named

the name Of Short.
Sheriff -stubblefield, of Fulton,
was IN Paducah at noon en- route to
the conclave at Louisville, and stated
that the report about the murder was
regarded in Fulton as a pipe
dream" and no one placed any cred
ence in it. He said the blood had not
been accounted for, but that there
were many ways in which IL could ba
without attributing 1t TO murder. 1t
is probable that what excitement
there is will quickly die out.
