BLAME Will BE PLACED.
Startling Evidence Brought Out In the
Slocum Inquest.

Evidence OF a startling nature,
which doubtless win have an import
ant bearing on the ultimate result OF
the coroner's inquiry into the General
Slocum disaster was forthcoming at
the inquest in New York City, Tues
day. Perhaps the most unexpected
incident was the continued refusal to
answer questions of Henry Lundberg,
q United States steamboat inspector,
who was supposed to have inspected
the life-preservers and the hull Of the
Inflated steamer. His refusal was
based on the ground that an answer
might tend to incriminate him, and he
acted on the advice of his counsel.
The coroner committed Lundberg to
the house of detention, but later &C
cepted bail for his appearance at the
hearing
Daniel O'Neill, who, according to his
sworn statement, had never worked
on a boat until he was hired on the
Slocum a short time ago, admitted
that he had jumped into a rowboat
filed with people from the Slocum,
capsizing 1t. Referring to the efforts
to throw water on the fire when it was
first discovered, O'Neill told of the
bursting of the hose. He ran and got
the rubber washing hose, but the
coupling would not fit the standpipe.
This was some of the sensational tes-
timony brought out.
BY the use of dynamite and heavy
guns fired by men from the Second
battery, scores of bodies were brought
up from the bottom around the shores
near North Brother island Tuesday.
From sunrise to sunset the searchers
along the beach and in the boats
gathered in 112 bodies, bringing up
the number Of the recovered to date
to the appalling total of S45.

Abraham owen Woodruff, one of the
twelve apostles Of the Church Of Jesus
Christ of Latter-day Saints. died at Ell
Paso, Texas, on Monday, death being
due to smallpox. Mrs. Woodruff died
of smallpox at the City of Mexico
about two weeks ago. Her husband
had hurried to the Mexican capital
when informed of his wife's illness,
and was with her to the end. Believ-
ing full precautions had been taken
to prevent his contracting the disease,
he started for his home in Salt Lake.
He was Ill when he arrived at El Paso
about ten days ago, and stopped there
TO recuperate. A physician pro-
nounced his case one of typhoid and
he was given treatment for typhoid,
when 1t developed that he had small
pox. He was at once removed to the
isolation hospital at FL Paso. His case
did not appear to be severe one and
there was every indication that he
would soon recover. He ate a hearty
breakfast Monday morning and was
thought to have reached the GONZALES
cent stage, when he suddenly became
worse and passed away during the
night, the direct cause Of death being
heart failure.
