BOAT BURNS
Below Paducah, With Fearful
Loss of Life.
Victims Estimated at Seventy
Two, But Exact Number
Not Known.

Cairo. Ills, April 21.-The side
wheel steamer, City of Pittsburgr
en- route from Cincinnati to Mem
pbis. was burned to the waters
edge early Sunday morning al
Turner's landing near Olmstead,
Ills, IL miles from Mound City, Ills,
and "a miles from this city.
Seventy-two souls went to their
death. OF these 45 were passen.
gers and % were members of the
crew. Many slept on unaware OF
the fire till flames enveloped them.
Others we're aroused only to find
the stern of the boat far from shore
and ablaze forward and their only
hope lay in leaping into the water,
in which many sank never again
to rise by their own efforts.
The number is only an estimate,
but believed to be very nearly cor
rect. There we're l45 people on the
boat, and of these 73 have been ac-
counted for. The books Of the boat
and all the valuables are in the
ruins with the three score and ten
victims and the exact number may
never be known.
FIRE IN FORWARD MATCHES.
The story of the disaster is told
as follows: At 4:05 a m, at . point
three miles above Turner's Land
ing, fire was discovered in the for
ward matches. This was, appar
emily seen about the same instant
by the engineer or watch and the
first mate, Arthur Shriver. The
former directed a deckhand to oper
a valve which would turn on tn,
water for the purpose of flooding
the hold, when he exclaimed tha
the valve was red hot, indicating
that it's connection below was il
contact with the flames. Mate
Shriver was just going on watch
accompanied by his wife, who haC
got up early to keep him company
Seeing the flames and realizing th'
gravity of the situation, he rushed
to the roof and shouted to Pilo
Harry Doss that the boat was or
fire and to run to the nearest shore
with all speed.
ALARM is SOUNDED.
Then he hurried back to the
cabin and aided in arousing the
sleeping passengers. The big bell
was rung four times in quick sue
cession and then with one contin-
uous clang spread the news of the
dire calamity. BY this time, brief
though it was, the forward part of
the boat was in flames. Pilot Doss
remained bravely at his post until
the bow of the boat struck the bank.
! hen he rang the bells for the en-
gines to stop. The texas beneath
him was blazing and he was en-
yeloped in smoke. He leaped from
the pilot house to the "texas, "
thence to the roof, made his way to
the wheel house, leaped in the
river and swan ashore.
