As soon as the shooting was over

THE LIST OF DEAD IS SWELLING
Fuller Details Of the Pittsburg Disaster The
Officers and Crew Exonerated.

Cairo, Ill, April 22-The under
writers arrived today and will take
charge Of the wreck at once. No more
bodies have been recovered, and moth
ing has been done TO recover the bodies
from the wreck. Il has not yet been
determined whether or not there will
be any effort soon Of raising the bodies
and only when the river gives up ITS
dead will IL be known for certain how
many persisted, and it may not be
then, as some OF these on the wreck
may have been so burned that even the
remains will not be found.
The coroner's jury found that Gap
tain Wesley Doss came to his death
from over-exertion and exhaustion in
swimming from the burning steamer
and that Miss Marie Tassim's death
was caused by inhaling fame and
smoke. The verdict Of the jury con
oluded with this language: eve fur
Their find that the crew Of said steamer
City Of pittsburg are not responsible
and therefore exonerate them from all
blame.
An examination of Miss Tassha' 3
body showed that it contained no
water This and the fact that the
body was floating Immediately after
the accident led to the belief that she
did not drown, but died from the
causes given. A. f. Tassim Of Mem.
phis arrived yesterday after the re.
mains Of his sister, which were ship
ped to her home az Canneltou, lnd.
Mr.. Gibbs, Of the insurance firm Of

times in quick succession and then
with one continuous clang spread the
news of the dire calamity. BY this
time, brief though it was, the forward

Doss remained brsyely at his post until
the bow Of the boat struck the bank.
Then he rang the bells for the engines

blazing and he was enveloped in
smoke. He lesped from the pilot
house TO the texas, thence 10 the roof,

old-time pilot, who was making.a trip

years, swan ashore in safety, but
died few minutes later from exhaus-

Captain J. ~ Phillips, master of
the boat, cannot give any explanation
of the fire, but thinks it possible the

JUDGE SANDERS COMMENTS,

Last Friday, according to the testi-
mony sdduced in police court this
morning, he approached Mr.. Cunning.

tc show his pictures to Mrs. Cunning
ham. Mr. Cunningham told him he
did not want any of them, and if he
concluded he did later, he would call
at his, Woodburn's, boarding house.
The agent yesterday morning, how =
ever, went to Mr.. Cunningham S
home, and when Mrs. Cunningham,
who appears to be delicate, modest
little woman, opened the door with
her baby in her arms and informed
him that she did not want any of the
views, he told her Mr.. Cunningham
had sent him, according to her story.
She then consented to look at them,
and in showing them she alleges he
placed his hand on her shoulder, and
she shrsnk away, thinking it might
have been an accident. He said in his
testimony it was only to to turn her
so the light would better fall on the
views.
Mrs. Cunningham, however, said
that after the views had been put away
and he started to leave, he called her

Miss DeWOlle's Lingerie Baskets

One Of the newest and daintlest ac-
ouisitions to the feminine travelling
outfit is the lingerie basket" two
very smart examples of which are pos
sessed by Miss Elsie DeWolfe, the ac-
tress, who was seen at the Opera
House last night in "The Way
of the World" These are large tray-
cling hampers Of heavy wicker, cover
ed with gray canvas and smartly
strapped with yellow leather. The
interior of each is lined with corona
tion pink satin, the actress favOrite
color, padded with sachets of her IA
vorite perfume. The trays. which are
likewise lined and perfumed, are fitted
with long streamers Of satin ribbon Of
the same shade. at either of the four
corners. These hold the dainty gar
ment in place, being crossed and tied
in a soft bow at the centre. Smaller
fiat sachets of the satin are made to
throw about the various compartments.
Lingerie baskets will be much in vogue
for holding trOusseaus of the Easter
brides. Miss DeWolfe is especially
fortunate in having a wardrobe which
necessitates carrying ten large trunks
besides the aforementioned baskets.

vogue by that actress who was at
the Opera House last night.
The nightcap was regarded as an in
dispensable adjunct to the retiring
toilette in the days of our grandmoth-
ers. OF recent years it has been ban
ished owing to the fact that modern
young women regard such an adon-
ment as unbecoming. The fallacy Of
such opinion Will be illustrated by the
adjustment Of one of these dainty con-
fections. They are, moreover, a pro-
lection to the hair and a boon to the
girl with the curl-paper habit. 1t was
James Lane Allen who remarked
facetiously and with truth, that the
head of the woman in "curl-papers'
suggested the paper garnishes sur
rounding a leg of mutton II "a word
to the wise is sufficient" and the girl
who is dependent upon the nocturnal
Disagreement of paper-wrapped tresses
in order to achieve the matutinal curl
will cling to the restored nightcap and
sing paeans of gratitude in praise oi
the pretty actress to whom she owes
