SCORES LOSE LIFE
 IN BURNING STEAMER
Of the 145 Persons on Board the City of PittSburg, Only About Half
 Succeeded in Escaping.

AdHOs lic., ARlli @l-AttCE SCctCitiu6 NWe Hays the death roll of the burned steamer City of Pittsburg has not been reduced sny from the first reports. Of the IA persons on the boat when it burned. about half are still missing. and tonight no fur ther hope for the is expressed. The books and valuables of the boat, crew and passengers are still in the ruins.
 The wreck is above water and still smoldering tonight. Owing to the heated condition of the hull, search for those crenated in it has not been begun. and very few of the bodies of those who are / drowned have been recovered. owing to the swift current at the scene of the dis aster.
 At the court of inquiry today over the bodies of Captain Sylvester Doss and Miss Maria Tissun. a verdict was rendered that tbe former ca me to death from exhaus- tfou. and the [atter from inhaling smoke. and nothing was developed as to the origin. cause or responsibility for the dis. ester. Capt ain Phillips testified that he could not account for the origin of the fire, unless an electric wire had started it. He stated that so far as he knew there were fifty-six lives lost The coroner was edvi.sed of other bodies being recovered at distances from this city, but none of them ans been identified.
 Sensational reports have been circulated about an alleged quarrel between the off, ficers of the steamer and the roustabouts, and that the fire may have been of incen- diary origin, but no credence is given to th2se reports.
 Many stories have been told today by survivors of their thrilling experiences escaping from the burning decks, and some of them are of a most startling character. The victims were from points along the Ohio Valley and they have left to the Mississippi
