Special to The World:
Paducah, KY, June 15.-Quick work
on the part Of Captain John L. Lowry,
of the steamer John Lowry, saved the
lives of sixty-fve persons early today
when the boat burned opposite Smith
land, KY, in the Ohio river.
The boat was crowded with fifty ex-
cursionists and crew of fifteen. The
craft was slowly making its way up
stream in the middle of the river when
fire brobe out near the engines. The
passengers aroused from their sleep
crowded onto the docks in a near pan
is and only the GOODNESS of the boatman
prevented a heavy loss Of life Several
barrels of oil exploded but not one was
hurt.
Seeing the fire about to consume the
craft Captain Lowry made for the Ill
inois side Of the river with full speed.
BY the time the nose of the steamer
touched the shore the fire had gained
great headway but the passengers got
off without injury. A roll call of the
passengers showed everyone present
and none injured. 1t had not been de-
termined this morning whether any of
the negro deck hands had been burned
but it is believed that they too had es-
capped.
The John Lowry runs between this
city and Evansville. At this season
the excursion rates are put on for the
round trip, hence the large number OF
people on board.
The first reports stated that large
number of people had been drowned
and that the boats had been sent out.
