Steamer City of Pit
tsburg Went Up in
Flames.

Carlo, Ill, April 21.-Although nc
complete list Of either the victims or the
survivors is yet obtainable, investiga-
ton to-day indicates that almost one
half the $50 people on the City of Pitts
burg were lost when that ill-fated
steamer was burned at Ogden's land
ing. between this city and Paducah.
Many Of those who were brought TO
this city are suffering from injuries, ex-
posure and fright. The numberaboerd
was about equally divided between
passengers and crew, the latter suffer
ing greater loss in casualties. The
names OF many of the "'roustabouts'
were not known, and the number
drowned or burned is not likely To ever
be ascertained.
