DETAILS OF THE TKI1' .
The Leo loft Vickaburg Friday af-
.ernoon . lor New Orleans with 500
Dales of cotton and a good list of pas
sengers. While opposite 1'oint Ploas-
int , at 3:30 : a. in. , she was discovered
.o bo on Ore , and was immediately
leaded fur the Louisiana shore and
landed at Yucatan plantation , thirty-
ivo miles below Pittaburg. In a few
minutes she was completely enveloped
n fhmca. Twenty-one passengers uro
: > eliovod to bo lost , including many of
; ho crow. The steamboat J. M.White
passed the wreck about 0 a. in. and
iook the remaining passengers and
crow < o Vicksburg. S. 0. Kawlings
and filbert Smith , + lm pilota , were
both burned ard otherwise hurt. The
lire is supposed to have originated in
the pantry room and so rapidly did
the llamoa spread tlmt it was imp
siblo for pascongerc or ollicera to mwo
anything except what they had on at
the timo. Oapt. W. S. Cannon states
the steamer was owned by the estate
of hia father , John W. Cannon , and
her commander , Capt. Wm. Campbell.
She was valued at $100,000 and in-
aurod cr § 50,000 , mostly in local Com
panies. The crow was composed
almost entirely of men who had boon
on the river twenty or thirty years.
The boat , besides a supply of pumps ,
had now fire pumps with tourteon inch
cylinder and 700 foot of hoao. There
wore always three watchmen on dock ,
THE nilAVK 1'ILOT.
The saved ewe their lives to the ad
mirable courage of the pilot , Join :
Stout. Ho stood at the wheel anc
gave hope to all by his firmness , anc
as the steamer rounded at Yucatan
Landing , and the llamas wcro fast en
veloping the bravo man in the pilol
house , who despite the flames arount
him , with almost the last hope of escape
capo gone , remained at the post unti
ho had made shore , and not until this
was done did he for ono minute take
his hands from the wheel. Ho made
hia escape by the hurricane roof , dowi
the log chain to the lower deck , urn
from there ashore.
THE PROBABLE CAUSE.
Some think the fire was the workol
an incendiary , while others believe il
accidental. Engineer Perkins firs I
saw the flames issuing from the pastry
room , in which there were no lumps
at the timo. Steward llcnry Carrihan
states that no coal oil or combustible
material was over kept in tliu kitchen
pantry or pastry room , ffo thinks il
was of incendiary origin. Engineer
Porkine , instantly after the discovery
of the fire , notified the pile
and the boat was hoadcc
for the Mississippi side uud plungoi
with such force against the bank
us to become firmly fastened , The
passengers not cat off fioin the bow
escaped to the chore , The canuilties
occurred among those Juv jig bertlw
afi , Some of them , IIOALVI.T , wore
rescued after jumping overboard ,
Thoao who succeeded in getting
nahoro were many of them half clad
seine halless , others shoeless , ant
others still with scarcely enough cloth
ing to cover their nakedness. Mud
credit is given Wm , S. Perkins , who
was in charge of the engines at the
time of the disaster. Ho stood nobly
at his post until the boat landed anc
the pilot shouted and told him ho
couM go ,

Mr. OrvicoBoll , second clerk of the
Leo , who was up at the time the no

proof of the materialization of spirits.
Undoubtedly Mien Fay is an good nmo-
diunv ( ? ) as any , and yet her pnrform-
ancos nnd that of the lecturer were
very simple and easy of explanation.
A very little boy was with the com
pany but ho disappeared in the dress
ing room.
llisi Fuy had this little boy attached
by straps to her waist. Hidden be
neath the ample folds of her bustle
and skirts the little follow eat ficcurely
while the ii.dium was being tied.
When the curlaiuj iroro drawn ho
hopped out of the eling in which ho
sat and readily executed the simple
tricks assigned to him.
The lecturer ( ? ) tied himaolf as
Baldwin did and untied himself in the
same manner. That part of the show
has bean completely explained by the
spiritualistic exposes just named. Had
ho boon tied with twine , using Equaro
knots he would havu remained tied ;
but ho furnished his own rope , and
when tied by the committee I noticed
that "grannies" knots were need ,
which are slipped with the greatest
ease , and instantly too. Had square
knots boon used the same result would
have been had , but moro time re
quired. As it wan , it took a good
aoal of talking to cover the .delay in
undoing the fastenings made by the
committee.
The "threo " trick ,
pontons" was ex
posed by the awkward manner in
which it was executed ,
Thu hand soon belonged to Mias
Fay , us any ono that noted thu move
ments of her body and head following
the motions of thu hand oould readily
detect. Again , the hand was always
seen with the wrist towards Miss Fay ,
and the ipuaical instruments exhibited :
pointed in the same direction. The
crimson curtain was double , hence the
aria could not bo soon when the coin-
inittooman looked into the cabinet
from the roar ,
On the whole the performance was
very thin , and the only redeeming
feature of the show was the omission
of any semblance of superstitious , or
what our spiritualistic friends might
call religious , ceremonies in connec
tion with-it. The audience was told
to consider the show to be black art ,
scientific- spiritualistic. They niada
no special claims for it , and yet ( hey
who gave it announced themselves as
spiritualists and talked of "tho power ; '
but wo noticed that somo-
tiines the power ( ? ) was ordered in a
very imperative and uxacling manner ' *
in fact , a style that mortals would not . t
use in addressing immortals. Miss
Fay several times exhibited bad tem
per , and the jokes perpetrated by the
lecturer were in very bad taato for a
Sunday evening entertainment.
The expose was made to the mana
ger , and ho denied nothing and ad
mitted that the lecturer was "only put
on on a mediun to fill the time with. "
Ouwlm has no royal scientists to bo
gulled by Miss Fay , but aho haa a few
denizens of thu Great American 1
desert who can BOO through n millstone i
that has auch a stupendous hqlo in it.
