Says Engineer Left His Post.
A. A. Peck, the pilot, claims the en-
gineer deserted his post, and that he
could not manage the boat with the
engines helpless. The engineer denies
this and claims that he remained at
the throttle until the water was waist.
deep.
Frank Enders, one of the passengers,
corroborated by several others, de-
clares that the effort to land brought
the boats side around SO that the wind
struck it full force. There had been
almost gale blowing for ten minutes,
and one man, who could not swim, went
to the pilot-house and begged the pilot
to land. When he did finally consent
to land, the hurricane, visible as a
huge black streak sweeping across the
river, struck the boat as it swung
around in position least able to re-
sist it.
Searching for the Dead.
Early Tuesday morning the work OF
searching for the remains began, the
party being led by Charles Graham
county clerk, and Luther Graham, his
brother, whose sister was among the
dead. Three bodies were recovered in
the forenoon, those of Miss TriXie
Grimes, Miss Lucy Barnett and Mrs
David Adams. Miss Ba1nett's face was
badly lacerated. In the afternoon the
bodies of Miss Graham and Mrs. w. A.
Hogan and Lucille, her six-year-old
daughter, were recovered. The posi-
ton of the limbs and the expression on
the faces, as well as scratches and
bruises, indicated fierce struggle
when the prisoners were caught in the
little cabin like rats.
All the bodies were brought here and
prepared for burial. The reason the
work of recovery is SO slow is because
the furniture is piled up on the bodies
The boat is being dismantled, as she
lay in 10 feet of water, in order that
the dead may now be reached. A sick.
ening odor already emanates from the
wreck and hundreds of people are on
the scene as spectators and volunteer
assistants. The crowd is so thick that
the wrecking Grew has great difficulty
in wreoking, Groups of sad-visaged
people dotted the wharf here all day
awaiting tidings from the rescuers
while the parlors of the Richmond no.
tel were filled with weeping women.
Mr.. Philip Boulware, a travelling
salesman of Paducah, and Mr.. Archi.
bald Lewis, travelling man for George
d. Barnes & Co., of st. Louis, had mar.
row escapes, and when they were
thrown into the water caught several
posts on the boat, which successfully
broke, They finally got on top of the
inverted hull and there found farm,
er, who was not even wet. He ex-
planned this by saying he "just kept
climbing"
The Only Woman Saved.
Mrs. Charles Hayden, of Metropolis,
ILL.,, the only woman saved, is badly
bruised. When she went down she
chung to her child, and both were final
ly saved by rousters. She was sitting
on the lower guards, SO she could be
near her husband, the engineer, when
the boat turned over.

down in the wreckage and a drowning

The case of Charles Tobin of Wales
against the town of Brimfield to recover
for personal injuries was placed on trial
in the superior court Monday morning.

that his injury was due to defect in the
highway. Tobin testified that on the

desired to go to the latter place. He
took the main road between the two
places and reached Fiskdale and left his
companion soon after 10 o'clock. He
testified that on the way home, at a point
about three miles from Fiskdale, one Of
the front wheels of the carriage went
down into a hole, and he was thrown
forward and wedged between the wheel
and the shaft. Tobin stated that the
horse kept on, and he was carried in that
position and after a time lost conscious
ness. He told of his injuries, which con-
sisted of cuts on his legs and the scrap
ing of the side of his face, and other
parts Of his body and injury to his left
wrist from contact with the hub Of the
wheel. DR.. E. F. Ross, Chas. E. Burns,
