Nn w OnLKANS, Doe. 26. The steamer John
II. II anna, loaded with cotton, from Ona
chitn, burned at Plaquemlne, nine-lire miles
north of here, yesterday morning. Tlio boat
and cargo are a total loss. The number ot
persons who perished la estlmatod nt thirty.
and the loss of life may bo much greater, as
tho boat had nearly 100 persons on board.
nnd only about a dozen so far havo been no-
counted for.
At tho timo the fire was discovered the
crow wero at their posts. Capt Jolles was
at the wheel, and In tho pilot house with hint
as Bob Smith, n famous Mississippi river
pilot, who was one of the men on tho Hobert
11 Leo when sho burned to tho water edge
some years ago. Hecnnd Engineer Merriman
as In the room on duty, and Capt. J, 3.
Holmes, ono ot the finest steamboat men on
the river, was In command of tho steamer.
The boat left Monroe Sunday morning well
laden with cotton, Sho picked up freight all
along, and when she got out of the Ouachita
and Into the Mississippi she had over 2,800
bales of cotton.
It was Just before Christmas day was be
ing ushered In when the fine steamer caught
fire. Sho had reached a point a short dis
tance above the town when a negro roust
about near the boilers ran aft and cried out
that the boat was all afire. John Cullen, a
Stoker, was near tho place at the tune, and
aoelng tho flames bursting forth from big
tiers of cotton near the boiler, ran hastily to
the engine room and gave the alarm. Imme
diately Engineer Merriman took In the situa
tion, and at once sounded the alarm by blow
ing the steam whistle and ringing the bells.
In an lnstnnt tho names shot through the
cabin and over the sides of tho cotton, WTap-
plng the entire boat in Bra.
Top Clerk Powell was up stairs at tho time,
and when ho saw tho names ho heroically run
through the smoko filled cabin and tried to
arouse tho sloeplng passengers. He kicked at
tho doors of tlio staterooms, and In a short
while everybody was awako.
Then there was confusion worso confounded
and tho frantic persons on the boat ran to
the dinerent exits to make their escape, but
the boat was piled high with cotton and the
passageways were tilled with blinding smoke.
Many dropped before they wero able to get
to the forward part of tho boat, and were
dead whon the steamor went down.
As soon as the fire was discovered Engineer
Merriman set the steam pumps working and
tried to battle with tho Haines, but the Are
swept through the boat like a blaze on the
prairie, and tho engine room was soon in
flames. Then, to add further to tho con
sternation, tho steam pipe burst and filled
the place with scalding steam. Merriman
5vas forced to abandon his post, and he, the
stokers nnd others ran to the sides and
climbed through the pitman, in order to save
their lives.
When tho smoko and flames began to shoot
over the sides of the boat Capt. Jolles swung
the wheel around aud headed her for the
shore. A full head of steam was on at the
time and the boat was soon run Into the
bank. Before sho did, however, she was
doomed, and there was scarcely a bit of
timber that was not furiously burning.
When the Ilanna struck the bank she
bounded away again and swung around,
drifting down as she burned. Then Capt.
Jolles jumped out over the cotton, and,
springing into the river, swam ashore.
Floating cotton, charred timber and other
debris filled the river, and many people were
struggling desperately In the water for their
Uvea. Some of them were able to swim
ashore, but nearly all were badly burned or
so exhausted that they struggled but a few
moments and sank to rise no more.
As tho burning boat struck the bank of the
river tho crew and passengers who had been
able to reach the forward end of the boat
sprang ashore, some of them with scorched
faces and bruised limbs, and many of them
5vith scarcely any covering. Among those
who mannged to get off were Capt. Holmes
nnd Bob Hmlth, the unfortunate pilot of the
ill fated Loo, who was a passonger on his way
down to this city. Both men were burned
nigh unto death. Whon tho captain jumped
ashore he was horribly burned, and in his
frantic desire to bo relieved of the pain ho
was suffering ho buried his face and hands in
the soft mud. and begged most pltoously for
some ono to help him. Smith was just be
hind, and lay down beside the dying captain.
Nothing could be done for the suffering men,
and tho two dlod together on the river bank
The death of John Crof ton was a sad one
Ho was in the upper part of the boat strug
gling to get near the front end. Tho flames
wero twisting and sweeping all about him,
and soon enveloped htm. He tried to reach
the bow, but he dropped and burned to death
lieforo tho eyes of persons who wero not able
to render him any assistance.
When the discovery was made that the
Hanna was burning the entire Herniation of
the town of Plaquemlne flocked to the river
bank and watched the vessel burn. Tho
struggling unfortunates who reached tho
shore were taken care of, and doctors und
others came to their assistance und tried to
alleviate their sufferings.
The following aro known to havo perlbhed
Captain J. S. Holmes, In command, burned
to death; First Clerk Samuel H. Powell,
drowned) Robert S. Smith, the old pilot of
the J. M. White: Miko O'Nell, Joo Crane,
Monroe Deck, Jack Duff, Jim Watson, John
Crafton) twenty deck lianas.
The engineers and pilots were all saved.
No reliable estimate aa to bow many people
wero lost can be obtained, uue ot the deck
hands who escaped says that they had a crew
of nearly 100, and only about a dozen can bo
Xotllld.
None of the men could say what w as the
origin of the fire. The general Impression is,
however, that some careless smoker threw a
cigarette among the cotton and thereby
caused the disaster.
J. W. Hanley, chief engineer of the boat,
arrived In this city with the rest of tho crow,
Hu ai,l the lire started in the cotton just aft
ot tholsjllersallttle before 11! o'clock. Hanley
continued: "I think that of the crew of the
Ilanna and that of tho Joslo W., who were
luuseugei'rt, the loss of life ls from twenty to
twenty-live. The boat, when burning, was
lying nt the bank of Plaquemlne, and tho
lieople of that town treated ns with great
kindness, and furnished us liberally with food
and clothing. Among the lost was a negro
child. Her mother and two colored women
were on the boat and were saved."

morning Mrs. Annie Kelly, 22 yean old,

The baby had died of exposure to cold In
th doorway of a Washington street tenement
house, where the parents had crept for shel

wrapped her shawl the only covering sh
had around the child, but It grew ooldei

The father, Joseph Kelly, when the pella
laid they would care for the mother and
tend the dead babe to the morgue, walked
away to renew his search for employment.
Mrs. Kelly, when her strength was some

given her by the matron, told her story.
She was married in Dunlin eight months ago,
her husband having a little work In Guinness'

He could got no work, though sober and

Kelly finally found work in a cheap lodging

she fell and received Injuries which caused
the premature birth of her child while shi
