OTTO RIVER DISASTER.
Search of Two Days Does Not Reduce
 the Fatalities

Cairo, H., April 21.--After searching two days the death roll of the burned steamer City of Pittsburg has not been reduced at all from the first reports. Of the 145 people on board when it burned yesterday morning about one- half are still missing, and tonight no further hope for them 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 heat ed condition of the hull, search for those cremated in it has not been be- gun and very few of the bodies of those who were drowned have been recover ed, owing to the swift current.
 At the coroner's inquest to-day over the bodies of Captain Sylvester Doss and Miss Marie Hissim, verdict was rendered that the former came to his death by exhaustion, and the latter from inhaling smoke, and nothing was developed as to the origin, cause or re- sponsibility for the disaster. Captain Phillips testified that he could not &C., count for the origin of the fire unless an electric wire had started it. He stated that, so far as he knew, fifty-six were lost. The coroner was advised of other bodies having been recovered at distances from the city, but none of them have been identified
 Sensational reports have been circu- lated about an alleged quarrel between the officers of the steamer and the roustabouts and that the fire may have been of incendiary origin, but no cre- dence is given to them.

Hartford, Conn, April H.-The Board of Pardons this afternoon oom- muted the sentence of Andrea Laudano, the New Haven Italian, who was to have been hanged at the state prison at Whethersfield on Friday night, to imprisonment for life. Laudano was convicted of the murder of Policeman Hugh McKeon in New Haven July 31, 19O1 A special session of the board of pardons was held day at the request of his counsel to pass upon his peti- ton for pardon. It was urged in his behalf that he did not fire pistol on the night of the tragedy and also the plea of insanity was set up by his coun- sel, L . N. Blydenburgh, Sanford B. Martin and Paul Russo. States Attor- ney Williams and A. E. Wheeler oppos- ed the granting of the petition.
 All the members of the board were present, Governor Mclean, Chief Jus tice David Torrance, General Edward Hardian, Dr. Francis Bacon, Morris W. Seymour, and Ernest Cady.
 Laudano appeared before the board and was allowed to give his version of the homicide saying that the three po- licemen, who were present at the trag- edy, forced their way into his house, pushing him back He grappled with one of the policemen, but denied that he fired any pistol shots.
 Governor Mclean then questioned him in regard to his family and his conduct prior to the homicide.
 Warden Garvan testified that he first noticed on December l. last that Lau- dano showed signs of mental disturb ance. Laudano had delusions of hear ing voices. They were the most pro- nounced symptoms that he has ever seen in his experience of thirty years in dealing with insane people.
 I.audano was quieted by the warden talking to his and advising him to keep quiet. The warden said he believed Laudano was perfectly responsible for his acts.
 Rev. Father J. J. Duggan, chaplain at the prison, testified that Laudano told him he heard voices say on one oc casion: T am the Christ, follow Me and believe in Me" Father Duggan said Laudano has been regular at tendant at religious services on Sun day until the last few weeks when he excused himself on the plea of not feel ing well.
 Attorney Russo of New Haven tes- tified that in an interview with the prisoner during the trial in New Haven Laudano said he had a vision of the Blessed Virgin Mary, who told him not to fear, as by the following night he would be a free man. He also said he believed that his food was poisoned
 Dr. Fox, the prison physician, said he the prisoner perfectly sane.

 the Waters VIII Flow No Mole Over
messed" for Light aud Power.

Lork Kevlin spoke feelingIy in acknowl- edgement of the warm welcome extend- ed to him.
 After brief complimentary speeches by Dr. Webster vice president of the American Physical society, and Dr. Woodward, president of the American Physical Association for the Ad vancement of Science, Lord Kevlin arose to reply. He spoke in low tones, showing the feebleness of age. but with
 
 ton he and Lady Kelvin felt of the high honor of the occasion. He proceed ed to speak of divine, physical and philosophical questions, declaring that 'the great beauties of nature and the wonderworks of the world opened to the scientific men are an absolute refu- tation of the arguments of atheism" Lord Kelvin praised the works of Cyrus W. Field, Thomas A. Edison and other American inventors. Speaking of the development of the transmission of electrical power that has taken place in the United States Lord Kelvin said:
 ''It has been so great, so marvellous. that hope to live to see the day when dream I have had may come true. I fervently hope to see the day when we shall have the transmission of electric power over 300 miles with a voltage of 40,0 000 When. first talked of that fif- teen years ago I was laughed at. But with the wonderful transmission of power at Niagara Falls my dream looks to be near fulflllment in the close fu ture.
 And let me tell you, American peo- ple," said he, there may be time when the waters will flow no more over the great horseshoe but instead there will be a beautiful growth of vegetation far more superb than any water flowing in torrents over the precipice, water that will find it's way down countless turbines spreading light and power for hundreds of miles in all directions"

Oeputy Sher1n Exchanges ShOta
With Tennessee Criminals.
Florence, Ala, Aug. 1S.-Deputy
Sheriff 7. s. White of Waynesboro
Tenn, has had battle with five men
the Tennessee penitentiary escaped
convicts, at the head of Cypress creek,
twenty miles north of Florence.
The men were armed with "A caliber
Colts pistols and dressed in blue
Jumpers. White saw the men pass near
Waynesboro, coming south, and he fol
lowed them on horseback. Coming
suddenly upon the men sitting on a
lumber pile at cabin, he opened fire
with his pistol at close range. All five
men returned the fire, and White
jumped off his horse, using it as pro-
lection. Two men whom White rec
ognized as Gus Hyatt, the notorious
train robber. and John Doe, the bank
burglar, stood their ground until their
pistols were empty and then ran down
the road, joining the other three,
whom White says he recognized from
photographs sent out by the author-
ties as Fred Seguin, Robert Bridges
and James Simpson.
White has left with Sheriff Hill to
make another effort to capture the
criminals.
