New York, June 2l.-The list Of
those who persisted on the General
Slocum is growing at an alarming
rate Bodies came 10 the surface Mon
day off the shores OF North Brother
island singly and in groups of two and
ihrees until at dusk ninety-three addi-
,onal had been re-, vered. Every
passing steamer seemed TO churn NJ
the water to such a degree that with
its wash one or more bodies would be
swept into the beach Between tbs
hours Of 3 and = in the afternoon forty
five bodies, some of them badly mutt
lated, were taken ashore by the search
ing parties. This brings the total mum
Der OF bodies recovered up TO 725, and
yet there are something like 800 per.
sons unaccounted for 4 number of
these are among the unidentified at
the morgue and at North Brother Is
land and the unacceptable that
have been buried in the Lutheran Gem
etery on Long Island.
The corOners inquiry into the dis
aster was begun Monday. Thousands
Of persons gathered in and around the
armory in the borough OF the Bronx
where the inquest was held. Among
those examined were Frank A. Barna-
by, president OF the Knickerbocker
Steamboat Co.; James H. Atkinson
the secretary Of the company; Mate
Flanagan Of the Slocum, and several
members Of the crew.
l.. . Tnl.v
j. Coakley, one Of the Slocum's deck
hands. at the coroner's inquest, ne
never had been instructed in a fire
drill since he became an employe of
the Knickerbocker company, at the be-
ginning OF last season. Coakley said
he first learned that the steamer was
on fire when a small boy called his at
tention TO smoke rolling down from
the bow He was below and could not
tell exactly where the boat was at that
time The last point he had noticed
before leaving deck was Blackwelps
island. He said ne ran up toward the
bow Of the steamer and found a blaze
in the locker where the oil for the
lamps was kept He dumped charcoal
on IL, hoping 10 smother the flames,
then cut down the hose and called for
assistance The fire was SO hot that
he and those who came 20 help him
were driven out Of the locker but they
got the hose in position and had just
directed a stream on the fire when
the hose burst No attempt was made
TO replace the ruined hose. as the pas
sengers were in a panic and made il al
mos; impossible TO do anything They
could not reach the other standpipe,
back near the stern Of the steamer.
When the crew found it impossible to
control the fire they turned their at
tention to the passengers. Coakley
said he took down many life preserv-
ers and distributed them among the
women and children SO far as he
could see, all the preservers were in
good condition
II was impossible 10 reach any Of
the life RATS because OF the panic, but
one Of the lfeboats was lowered. The
other boats were so surrounded by
struggling persons that the crew could
not get at them. The boat which they
succeeded in clearing and which was
filled with women and children, cap
sized while It was being lowered from
the davits.
Several members Of the crew corrob-
Grated Coakley's story in most of the
details.

The Young Giants Achievement
Against the "Pln1sy' Into
Pittsburg
SERVICE BEGINS TOMORROW.
Son Of llustrlons Father Might Journey
From Ogden to Pittsgurg and New
or Leave the Gould Estate.

Tomorrow is the day set for the OPEN
ing OF the Wabash railroad into Pitts
burg. Trains viii run between St.
Louis and Pittsburg in 20 hours, short
enng the time materially between Salt
Lake and the Smoky City"
1t may be difficult for the mind to
grasp the fact. but 1t is nevertheless
established, that with the victory won
by George Gould, in entering the Penn
sylvania city, II is now possible for him
to travel from Ogden to Pittsburg with
out stepping off his own property
The advent Of the Wabash into Pitts
burg marks the end OF one Of the great
est railroad battles in history. For
many years the Pennsylvania has been
a stern dictator In that territory, and
no corporation presumed itself strong
enough to get into that city without
the Pennsy's sanction, But George
Gould announced that he would do it,
and he knew that he was undertaking
a gigantic proposition. Some other rail-
road giants laughed at him, but Gould
worked on with that energy and deter
mlnaton that made his father famous.
and now he has won out, Only Gould
knows how many millions Of dollars
were required to get terminal in
Plttsburg.
In memory Of the fight he erected a
monument In the shape Of the finest
depot ever built by single railroad. 1t
stands in the heart OF the city, and its
site could be almost covered with the
gold II cost to buy II.
Western merchants are glad 10 see the
Wabash get into Plttsburg, for they be-
levu that the excessive rates which the
Pennsylvania is accused OF maintaining
will he materially reduced, on account
OF the competition.

Supreme Court Hands Down an
Opinion in ScOfeld Election
SquabbIe
LOWER COURT IS AFFIRMED .
Holds That Refusal OF Registrar to
Perform His Duties is Not
Vital,

Tho supreme court today handed
down an opinion affirming the Judg-
ment Of the lower court In the election
contest case In which II, H. Earl, Il. II.
Mereweather, A. Greennafgh, Lewis
jacobson and Louis Allant are confess
tants and respondents, and b. II. Lewis,
Nell NJ Madsen, Alfred Neuren and
Frank Broyles are contestees and APP
pellants, The contest Involves the of
fees Of president and members Of the
board OF trustees OF the town of SEQ
field, 10 which contestants claimed they
were elected last fan. In the lower court
the case was decided in favor Of con-
testants and the contestees, who were
members OF the old board, were oustod
from office.
The contestants were nominated by
the Republican party on oct. 10, 1908,
and late on the same day the certifi-
cate OF their nomination was taken to
the office Of the town clerk TO be filed,
that being the last day In which II could
be filed and comply with the law In that
respect The office was locked up and
no one was In charge 30 the certificate
was mailed to the clerk and received by
him the next day There was no OBJ
lection to the certificate being filed, so
1t was filed and the names Uf the nomi-
nees We're placed on the Official ballot.
At the election the regular judges re-
fused to receive any votes, claiming
that they had not been furnished with
a correct registration list, but they did
receive the votes Of five voters In addl-
ton TO their own late In the afternoon.
The electors who were refused the
privilege Of voting at once proceeded 10
elect other judges, who were immedi-
ately sworn IN and took charge OF the
election.
Both sets OF judges made proper re-
turns OF the votes received by them.
They were canvassed by the then menu
hers OF the board of trustees who are
the contestees in this case, and they de-
Clared themselves reelected, notwith-
standing the fact that they only re-
Celyed eight votes while the contestants
received from 76 TO SO eacn.
The opinion Of the supreme court,
which was written by Chief Jusiice
Baskln and concurred In by Associate
Justices Bartoh and McCarty, holds
that inasmuch as there was no obJec-
tlon In writing filed against the certf-
cate OF nomination within three days,
the clerk properly placed the names Of
the candidates on the official ballot. 1t
also holds that the failure or refusal OF
a registrar 10 perform his duties Is not
vital and cannot deprive a qualified
elector OF the right to vote, hence the
action OF the regular judges Of election
IN refusing 10 ALLOW certain electors to
vote was erroneous The Judgment or
the lower court Is accordingly affirmed,
