John Robinson Show.

For more than 20 years the Robinson
Show, which will exhibit here next
week, has had the reputation of being
one of the best of tented amusement in
situations. 1t embraces champion riders,
both male and female, the highest salar-
led aerialists, gymnasts and acrobats,
the funniest clowns, the largest and
finest collection of wild beasts, the finest
herd of performing elephants and hum
dreds OF other features. As has hereto
fore been stated, the distinguishing fea-

Cloud Dispersed.

The ultimatum of Mayor Simpson to
the officials of the electric railway COM
pany concerning the repaving of King
street and his order to the City Engineer
to begin the work of pulling up the cob
BILE stones at King and Royal streets
this morning has resulted in no III
junction or friction, and the company
has commenced the prosecution of their
part of the work by carrying improved
rails to the point as well as ties and
other material. Thus all anticipatiOns
of litigation have vanished and, so far as
can be seen, the company and city are
working together satisfactorily. Al
seven O'Clock this morning the con-
tractors for repaying the street stuck
their picks into King street at its inter
section with Royal and were soon hurting
the discarded cobblestones into carts.
Numbers of people had assembled IN the
meantime to see what steps the railway
company would take. The spectators
did not have to remain long to have
their curiosity satisfied, as in short
time carload of ties appeared on the
scene and later one Of improved rails.
This action was q decided relief to many
who feared litigation would follow and
the repaving Of King street be indeh-
nitely deferred. ALPS well that ends
well, and now may the work go on
rapidly to completion. The officials of
the company say that they are urging
the manufacturers to I'll their order for
rails and have been notified by the
that the rails for the
street will be shipped early next week.
The rails brought to the intersection of
King and Royal streets this morning
with which to begin work, were few
that the company had on hand.

The Number. of Lives Lost By the
Burning of the Steamer May
Never Be Known.
THE TOTAL MAY REACH SEVEATY-FIvE.
Many of the Survivors are Suffering
Severely From the Effects of EX-
posture and Fright-The Percent
age OF Loss Greatest Among Wom-
en- and Children.

Cairo, H., April 22.-Although no
complete list of either the victims
or Of the survivors is YET obtainable,
investigation indicates that almost
one-half of the $50 people on the CITY
of Pittsburg were lost when that Ill
fated steamer was burned, Sunday,
at Ogdens landing between this city
and Paducah. Many of those VINO
were brought TO this city are suffer
ing from exposure and fright. The
number aboard was about equally di-
vided between passengers and crew,
the latter suffering the greater loss
in casualties. The names of many Of
the roustabouts were not known, and
the number drowned or burned is not
likely ever to be ascertained.
The fire started in the lower part Of
the steamer, in the freight, or pos
sibly in the engine room, and shut
off the means of escape there, while
passengers jumped overheard from
the upper decks. Within ten minutes
of the discovery of the fire at a. M,
survivors say, the upper decks were
swept by flames, and passengers we're
penned in on all sides, even the life
preservers being cut off by the
flames. The panic that followed
caused greater loss of life than
would have ensued if the officers
could have Gained the terror-strick-
en- people. Some rushed through the
flames and perished; others tainted
and sank down to be cremated. Many
in their night robes, some Of them
afire, jumped overheard and were
drowned. Those that got into the
boats saw others drowning as their
overcrowded craft pulled to shore.
The barely-clad survivors on the
shore not only witnessed horrifying
scenes around the charred hull, but
also suffered from early morning till
relief came in the afternoon. The
captain says there were &c passen.
gers, not including a dozen babies
}There were as many women as men in
the cabin, and the Indications are
that the greater percentage of losses

was among the women and childree
ords, was burned, and the survivors
scattered in every direction, there is
great difficulty in getting a list OF
the survivors. 1t is conceded that
many bodies never will be recovered,
SO that there will never be a complete
list of the victims. 1t it thought that
many charred bodies will be found
in the hull Of the burned steamer
when the mass of embers ceases burn
ing so that the search for the re.
mains can be made.

Nearly a billion more postage
stamps have been issued to the
postofices of the United States
since July I last than were issued
during the whole of the previous
fiscal year. This Is not necessarily
indicative of a great increase In the
postal business. From lack Of
other facilities for the transmission
of small sums by mail, stamps have
come to be extensively used, which
is a strong argument for the postal
note plan now before Congress. A
system Is needed by which small
sums may be sent by the mails, and
this the postal note plan provides
1t would be a great advantage to
small business interests.
