NEW YORK. June 15.—Five hundred
persons, mostly children, perished today
by the burning of the excursion steam-
er, General Sloeum near Hell Gate in
East river. The Sloeum, with the an-
nual Sunday school excursion of St.
Mark's German Lutheran church of
this city on hoard, was proceeding up
the river to one of the many resorts
of Long Island Sound. When near 128th
street, persons on shore saw smoke and
flames spring from the tipper part of
the crowded steamer. A panic ensued
on the boat almost Instantly. Crowds
on the forward deck begun to spring
overboard br to crowd to the nft- r pert
of the boat. The screams of the terri-
fied passengers could l p-heard on ehor<
and hundreds of small boats imme-
diately put off to their rescue. Owing to
rocks on either side of the channel nt
this point, it hud been Impossible to
beach the vessel. The captain stuck
to his post nt the wheel and headed
the vessel straight up the river for
North Prother Island, where she was
put aground In shallow water. Several
hundred feet of open water still lay
between the burning steamer and the
shore and many persons perished eith-
er in the water or on the burning ves-
sel after she had been beached. It was
estimated that the steamer carried
more than 2,000 persons. She wus the
largest excursion steamer In these wa-
ters and could carry 4,000 passengers.
I An eye witness to the terrible catas*
throphe says:
"The steamer whistle was blowing
for assistance as she came up the river.
I saw several persons jump Into the
water Just before she was headed for
the North Brothers Island. Her posi-
tion in the water made It impossible
for those aboard to reach land except
by swimming. I saw fifty or a hundred
persons, mostly women and children,
jump over board. Most of the throng
was on the hurricane deck when tt.at
portion of It collapsed. Many must
have lost their lives."
The pastor of the church. Rev. Geo.
C. Ephass, was on board with all his
family and all are reported to be among
the lost. The boat caught fire in Hell
Gate and the flumes had complete con-
trol before any move could be made to
check the flames.
A frightful scene followed. It was
Impossible to run the boat ashore be-
cause of Hell Gate rocks on either
side. Nothing could be done In the way
of launching and as the flames advanc-
ed the passengers began to jump over-
board. They went into the river by
hundreds.
Many were rescued by tugs and oth-
er vessels, but hundreds perished. The
J steamer burned to the water's edge. Be-
tween four and five hundred are known
to have jumped into the river.
Several hundred bodies were washed
ashore, or towed or carried in boats to
Brothers Island. Almost every other
woman was taken away was calling for
her child. • The disaster was witnessed
by thousands of persons on shore and
as rapidly as possible, hundreds of
small boats and launches set off to
render aid. With the boat burning
under his feet, the captain stuck to bis
post in the pilot house jjnd the engi-
neer remained at his post below until
the boat was beached. Even then, the
passengers who had not jumped over-
board were not safe for they were some
distance from the shore and the boat
was a veritable furnace.
The greatest loss of life was due to
the collapsing of the heavy upper deck.
It fell with a crash after the fire start-
ed, crushing hundreds who bad gather-
ed on the lower deck. It was then that
the greatest panic ensued amid the
living stream of persons going over the
railing into the water. Parents In hos-
pitals on the Island became almost In-
sane from fright at the terrible scenes
they were compelled to witness. A
large part of the crowd on the steamer
were little children and there were lit-
tle hope for them after they went over-
board. The current wag strong and the
little ones were sucked in by the whirl-
pools at Hell Gate. At least fifty chil-
dren perished In this manner.
NEW YORK, June 15.—The following
were the first bodies to be Identified:
Mrs. Mary Balnter, 35; Infant of Mrs,
Balmer; Mrs. Agnes Dipptert, 62; Mrs.
Selma Orlmma, 34.
Ambulance Surgeon Krausko pf Har-
lem Hospital, said he professionally
treated not less than one hundred and
twenty-five persons, and the doctors
near him were as busily engaged as he
He said from w here he worked he could
see one of the paddle wheels of the Slo-
eum choked wlt^.thc ,byi;uiid bodier
of those who perished. Edward Weav-
er and Edward Van Wert, pilots of th-
boat, were arrested along with the ap-
taln.
The coroner's phylslclan, tVeston, this
afternoon notified the morgue keepers
thut one hundred and six bodies wer
on the way to the morgue. The super-
intendent of the JJixrleiu inurgoc I*'1*
asked the charities department for 20'i
boxes In which to put the boJ!c« of
those wh* iTrlsh*8 in tli« disaster.
The Sloeum had reached. "Sunken
Meadows" at the extreme east end of
Randall's Island when the fire was dls-
rovered.
By the time 135th street was reached,
the excursionists were driven to the
rail, many of them with clothing cn
fire, began to Jump overboard by twos
and threes. When 13Kth street was
reached, the heat from the fire became
so Intense that men, women and chil-
dren plunged overboard by the score.
When off lSSth street, the hurricane
deck collapsed . Many persons were
thrown Into the water, but hundreds
were precipitated Into the lower de"k
which was itself a mass of women \nd
children.
A tug of the New York Central rail-
road saved nearly a score through the
heroism of some unknown man. This
man stood on the paddle-wheel box c r
the Sloeum and passed women and
children to the tug until he was drlvon
back by the flames. He then Jumped
into the tug himself. Neither the po-
lice nor firemen when they arrived,
waited to remove their coats or clothe*
but Jumped overboard and saved a
great many who would otherwise have
been drowned.
Many of the bodies recovered were
horribly burned. It will be hours be-
fore the fire In the hold of the ship is
out and the bodies there can be re«•'je-
ered. Both firemen and wreckers «:iy
that the greatest loss of life extending
into the hundreds will be found in the
hold.
When the police headquarters fir.-t
received vague reports of the disaster,
every source of succor and aid was util-
ized. The hospitals each sent all the
available surgeons, nurses and amb i
lances to the scene. The police reserves
of half a dozen stations hurried our,
and more than fifty patrol wagons were
sent for assistance purposes.
North Brother Island where the SI 3-
cum was beached, Is occupied by mu-
nicipal charity hospitals and a consid-
erable number of physicians and nurses
were Immediately available.
Many of those picked up alive in the
river will die in the hospitals. Most
of them were frightfully burned, hav-
ing delayed leaving the boat until their
clothing was on Are.
Some died in Improvised ambu-
lances In which they were hurried from
the shore.
Every man on the boat who cou'd
swim went overboard loaded down wi*h
children. Many of these heroes lost
their lives, because the burden was
more than they could carry against the
overpowering swirl of the tide as it
rushes from East river into the soun i.
John Edell, 22 years old, one of the
survivors of the disaster, gave out th"
following account of his terlble experi-
ence. his mother and little brother be-
ing drowned before his eyes:
"When we left the pier the decks
were packed to the limit of their capa-
city. The band was playing, children
wer frolicking about and we were ail
having a fine time. As we neared Hell
Gate the children were called down ti-
the lower deck where ice cream and
soda water were served. The children
were falling all over each other in ati
effort to get to the tables which held
the refreshments. With my mother an 1
my little brother Paul, I went to th-
engine room to watch the machinery.
Suddenly and without the least warn-
ing there was a burst of flame fro n
the furnace room that rushed up
through the engine room and flashed
out about us. Flames spread with the
rapidity of an explosion setting fire to
the clothing of the women and children
who were grouped about the engine
i tom watching the machinery.
board against their will. At one time
it seemed to me as If the women and |
children were pouring over the side* |
like a waterfall. As \>>e made for the
shore the captain blew his whistle In
one continuous blast and soon boats of
all descriptions weiv making for us
from every side of the river.
"I was rescued by a launch Just as
the boat settled close to the shore.
"When she was grounded the flames
hud spread over the entire upper and
lower decks. There were only a few
spots on the boat untouched by the
flames and In these were piled up men
and women who had fainted and in fall-
ing pinned others to the deck.
"The men Int ugs who could get near
the steamer shouted for those on board
to Junfcp and then small boats picked
them up by the scores."
From all that can lie gathered no
alarm was sounded when the fire was
discovered, but the crew tried to ex-
tinguish the flames without alarming
the passengers. Those in the after poi -
tlon of the boat did not know it was
on fire until the flames had swept back
on them. Then there wus nothing to do
but Jump overboard or be burned to
death.
Scores huddled In an apparently safe
position on the hurricane deck with a
breeze blowing the flames and smoke
away from them, when suddenly the
deck fell in. After the cloud of smoke
had drifted away observers looked back
to where the crowd hud been standing
and the space was vacant. Many of
the children picked up by small bouts
were lashed to camp stools and other
light boat furnishings, showing that
somebody had tried to make the little
ones safe. These precautions provided
Inadequate means of safety In the ter-
rific current and In the whirlpools. Very
few of the children picked up bad on

I confess to you that one of the pleas-

Nothing that our city has accom-

that our city is a good place to live,
which I am convinced they do not yet
