Two Bodies, Those of Woman and "a
Small GEl, Were So Badly Charred
That They VIII Probably Never BE
Identified.
PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 30 - Another
body of victim of Wednesday s steam
boat disaster was recovered from the
Delaware river by the police this morn
ing. 1t is supposed to be that of Harry
Johnson, aged 36 years, a grocer of
Hulmville, Pa, who was on his way
home from Philadelphia. He leaves a
widow and five children.
This makes the tenth body recovered,
of which eight have been identified.
Two bodies, those of a woman and a
small girl, are unidentified. They are
so badly charred and decomposed that
they will likely never be identified posi-
lively.
Nineteen are missing, and it is almost
certain that all of these are dead. OF Is
persons remaining in the hospital, two
are almost certain to die. Thus the net
result of the awful explosion will be in
the neigh borhood of 30 deaths, when
the melancholy returns are all in.
A statement made today by Mrs. B.
Grant Clapham, who was a passenger
on the City of Trenton with her two
daughters, Edna, aged Z, and Amanda,
aged 5, establishes beyond reasonable
doubt the fate of Mrs. William H.
Keene, who had been reported among
the missing.
Mrs. Olapham was in the cabin of the
steamboat when the explosion occurred.
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. Chapman says she
was accOsted by Mrs Keene, who said
she was dly injured and begged pite-
ously for assistance. Mrs Olapham was
forced to leave Mrs. Keene to search for
her children. She found both of them
scaIded by steam, but she succeeded in
getting them to place of safety, from
which they were taken by the rescuers.
Until today Mrs. Clapham was too
much prostrated to make her statement
regarding Mrs. Keene.
William Fl. Keene, husband of the
woman, now placed in the list of known
40S1N' COoh LIS WL46 anu Iu6lE dauSnUeE,
Fanny l. Keene, 20 years old, on the
steamer City of Trenton, on pleasure
trip. He was found crushed to death
in the ruins of the steamboat. The
daughter was terribly burned and scald-
ed and the hospital physicians say she
cannot recover.
With the death of the daughter, the
entire Keene family will be wiped out
of existence. Mr.. Keene was superin.
tendent of a large Philadelphia dairy.
