THE FIRE LASTED
ONLY THIRTY MINUTES.

One OF the surviving members of the crew
gave the following account of the accident
The fire was discovered at o'clock. in
the forward hold. BY AIS the entire boat
was in flames. aud at 4:20 1t was a wreck.
The front stairways burned. cutting off any
avenue Of escape. We alarmed the sleeping
passengers bursting open their doors to
awaken them. They ran out without put
ting on life preservers. and crowded aft.
The officers held them back while the only
yawl was loaded with women and children
The scene was awful. About twenty or
thirty were taken of in the boat. and then
those in the water rescued. The water was
very cold, and the passengers were in their
night clothing Those who were not burned
UP In the boat drowned, except those who
were able TO swim. When We reached shore
We were unable TO stand. and had to be
helped out Of the water"
1t was not until $50 o'clock. ten hours
after the fire, that a passenger steamer. the
towboat Maude Gilgore passed. She brought
the unfortunates down TO Cairo. Among
those saved were Mrs. S. r. Leach of
Bridgeport, o., who was terribly burned
about the head; Mrs. Wennimore Of Ar
buckle, W. Va. burned on the hands and
face. and Mrs. Fannie McCullom Of Leay-
enworth. Ind, burned on the breast. Cap

HUNTER BEN JENKINS TALKS.
Recalls River Disasters and Tells
Of City Of Pittsburg.

Hunter Ben Jenkins Of the Eagle Packet
Company. who has been connected with the
river traffic nearly all his life, in speaking
of accidents in recent years, said: There
have not been many serious accidents for
several years. In the Cos and a little pre-
vious to that time they occurred much more
frequently.
About nine years ago the steamer State
of Missouri burned, January 10. near Wolf
Creek, KY, and forty lives were lost The
accident occurred in the Ohio River The
Bluff City burned about four years ago
near Chester. ILL.,, and about forty lives
were lost.
THE sinking Of the steamer City Of Pa
ducah has been the worst accident in the
last year or two. 1t sank near Brunkhurst's ;
Landing. about 120 miles below ST. Louis
Many lives were lost. Since then several
steamers have gone aground or struck
snags. but no lives have been lost
THE steamer City Of Pittsburg was orig
inally the City Of New Orleans and cost
s225,000. 1t WAS one OF the finest boats on
the river. When the Anchor Line Packet
Company was forced to Hquidate 1t was
sold TO Scott & Phillips Of Pittsburg and
a new hull built. 1t was then put in the
Pittsburg and Louisville trade, but this
proved Improbable, and recently 1t has run
between Cincinnati and Memphis"

REPUBLIC SPECIAL.

REPUBLIC SPECIAL.
Winchester. Ill, April a0-Republican pri
maries were held In Scott County Saturday
to select delegates to the convention to be
held here Monday. Very little interest was
manifested. There are no candidates seek
ing the nominations for county Office, as
the county Is about 400 Democratic. The
only interest taken is on the senatorial
question. No senatorial candidate has Wis
tied this county, but every prominent Re-
publican has received a letter or two asking
for his support.
Although this Is the adjoining county to
Governor Yates's former home, and was
one Of the first counties to indorse his can
didacy for the nomination for Governor, 1t
Is now q strong anti-Yates county. 1t
would be difficult matter to find a dozen
Yates men In the county. The feeling is
not on account Of his not having treated
Scott County fairly in the distribution OF
plums. but because they resent his leader
ship at the head Of the party, and do not
approve Of his taking part in the sena-
torial fight. The only two out-and-out
Yates men In the county. so far as can be
discovered, are Henry Miner and B. r
Bradley. Mr.. Miner is trustee Of the
insane at Jacksonville, a position with
very little pay and no pull Mr. Bradley
was promised place when Governor Yates
was elected. He received the Job last

Captain Dass was man with great

Pillow. Island 10, Memphis, Vicksburg and
Port Hudson. His face was blown nearly
of, carrying away the greater portion OF

He was at the wheel OF the ram Lancaster

Confederate ram Arkansas ran the gauntlet
of the Federal war vessels on her way
from the mouth of the Yszoo to Vicks-
burg, one of the most historic events per-
formed by the Confederate Navy. On May

small squad of men, marched from Young's
Point, La, to point opposite the lower
end of Vicksburg and conveyed the news

ter was in position to cooperate with him.

ESTIMATE OF GOV. DAVIS
BY ARKANSAS FRIEND.

Special Correspondence of The Republic.
Newport Ark. April 1s.-Jeff Davis most
admired by his people. is often called JET
ferson Davis II, but he himself prefers to
be called what most people term him. the
plain first syllable. JEFF"
Perhaps no man to-day in public life has
been worse misrepresented and less under
stood by the outside world than this mod
ern Hercules OF Arkansas political fame.
He is characterized by his enemies as a
simpleton, a fanatic and demagogue. He
Is neither of these, but, on the contrary.
he is the most tactful politician the State
has ever had since its organization in 1895.
He is a man Of destiny. who has the po-
liteness Of Clay, the finesse Of Lin
coin, and the force Of a Webster. To him
is due the honor Of defeating James KIM
United States Senate. Without Davis's
help, all concede that Governor Clarke
could not have been successful.
Governor Davis Is 81 years old and is
about feet inches in height and weighs
about 200 pounds. He has a well-developed
deep-blua eyes and a rather boyish face; in
disposition he Is gentle. warm-hearted. and
magnetic. He came from humble parent
age, and when a boy worked at hard labor

and has no patience with toadies or bogus
aristocrats.
On one occasion he was heard to say to

my duty is to look to the good of the peo-
pie at large. l think 1t more incumbent
upon me to use my voice In helping those
poor wood haulers yonder and In shielding
them from oppression than IN assisting any
OF you men to office.
In 1900 Davis ran for Governor Of Arkan-
sas on the Antitrust platform, with three
able-bodied politicians opposing him for the
same Office. Besides these three opponents.
Davis had all the newspapers. the insurance
against him. Many predictions were made
before this memorable campaign was begun
about how 1t would terminate. 1t seemed to
be prevalent in most minds that the coyet-
ed honor would fall either upon the head
