FEARFUL BOILER EXPLOSION.
A Tug Destroyed aud tho Entire Crew
Killed.


CHICAGO, January 2.--The tug Admiral
had just let go the line of the barge d. M.
Wilson in Mason's slip, at Twenty.second
and Morgan Streets, Wednesday evening,
when terrible explosion was heard, and
the spot where the tug lay was marked
only by whirling debris and cloud OF
steam and smoke. All portions Of the tug
above water had been smashed Into frag.
ments and the hull sunk out Of sight. Win.
dows block away were broken and the
crew on the barge were stretched on the
deck almost senseless. The stanchions
and headgear Of the Wilson were carried
away, and It is thought many of her tim.
bers were started. The captain of the
schooner alongside the barge was thrown
heavily against the cabin, and I. Is feared
seriously injured. The owners OF the tug
say the only persons that could have been
aboard were Captain Andrew Green, En-
gineer Joseph Hogan and Lineman Bone,
but men who were working on vessels In
the vicinity assert that there were two
other men on the tug besides the crew of
three. The only traces Of tie five victims
are battered hat and boot containing a
stocking and a piece OF flesh, which were
found on one side of the riyer and on the
other side a mangled corpse supposed to be
that OF LIneman Bone, with the left arm
entirely blown from the body. The face
and chest were shockingly bruised and torn.
II seem certain that, the poor wretch was
hurled Into the air scross two huge steam
barges and striking the wall of grain ele-
vator dropped back TO the dock.

ain A MINUTE"
The Lesson by Which Bob Was Cured Of
His One Great Fault.

His One Great Fault.
Bob had one great fault, which
grieved his father and mother very
much. If asked to do anything he said;
"In a minute" and then forgot. II
he was going anywhere he was never
ready at the proper time. His mother
often talked to him about this; but it
did little good.
At last she said: "The next time
you are not ready to 60 with me shall
60 without you" This made him care
ful for long time.
His father and mother began to hope
he had improved; but one day sad
thing happened. 1t was Thanksgiving
Day. Bob was going with his father
and mother to spend the day with his
grandmother. 1t was quite a long drive
to her house; but 1t never seemed long
to Bob, particularly If there was snow
on the ground.
This year there had been no snow
until the day before Thanksgiving.
Then it t,snowed all day, and all night,
too. The next morning the snow was
several inches deep. Bob begged his
mother to let him go out and play
little while before getting ready to go
with her! He promised to come in as
soon as she called.
Bob had great fun tumbling about in
the snow. When his mother called he
had Just begun to make a snow-house.
He said: In minute" and went on
with his play. At last he remembered
that his mother had called him. He
threw down the shovel and ran in.
Bob found no one in the house but
Sarah, the maid. His father and moth
er had gone without him. Poor little
Bob! The tears would come, in spite
Of himself. The time passed very slow
ly He had no heart to play, but sat by
the fire, thinking Of the jolly times they
would have at grandma's-all the
uncles, aunts and cousins-everybody
but himself! And then the dinner!
Sob's heart was nearly broken when he
thought of the dinner.
Suddenly some one called him. 1t
was Edward, ths .coachman. He had
come for him with grandma's horse aud

can think. The horse seemed to fly.
They arrived just as dinner was ready.
Everybody was glad to see him. He

THE SHAKEMAKeRS.
Class Of Industrious People Who Are
Little Known to the World.

Class OF Industrious People Who Are
Little Known TO the World.
Living just above the foothills and in
the midst Of the virgin pine forests of
the Sierras are class Of industrious
people little known to the world. They
live an isolated, happy life far from the
busy world, of which they know little
and care less. These are the "shake-
makers" They exist usually in couples,
and make their home for the time being
where the finest sugar pine grows, and
whence the products of their labors can
be conveniently hauled away. They are
jolly, happy lot, these 'shakemakers"
of the Sierras. They work at will, and
by way of recreation divide their leisure
time between deer and bear hunting and
the nearest country store. The mode
Of making shakes" or clapboards Is
simple. The tree felled is sawed into
suitable lengths, and then is split into
thin boards or "shakes" by means Of a
froe and mallet. The shakes sell here
in the mountains at 81 to $3.50 per
1000, and are always in demand. A
shakemakers' camp is one Of the most
picturesque scenes TO be found on the
coast, and the voluntary recluses who
spend year after year in these mountain
solitudes are the jolliest lot of bachelors
on earth. A majority of this almost
unknown race of men are old miners
and young men from the foot-hill farms.
Wild, brave, uneducated and kind
hearted, they include within their nnm-
bers hundreds of the best frontiersmen
and the noblest types Of manhood

TOOK HIS OWN LIFE.
Charles DEAN, q BrickIayer, Commits Suicide
by Shooting Himself Through the Breast.

Charles Dean, residing at No. 90 Plum street
committed suicide this morning as is supposed
at about o'clock. DEAN was found in his wood
shed, at 10 o'clock, by his wife. BY his side was
large regulation cavalry revolver, Of the French
service.
Dir. DEAN was married man, and brick
layer by profession, and his wife states that
some months ago her husband proposed double
suicide by chloroform. She believes that the
suicide administered that anasthetic to her,
which prevented her awakening until a late
hour Upon arising, she discovered
the fires were unlighted, and the
back door was open. Mrs. Dean
was one Of the Atkinson heirs of Greenfield
and was devised the greater portion of the
paternal estate. Considerable litigation was had
over the matter and Dean always seemed TO
worry over the various complications arising out
OF the suit Yesterday he purchased a lot on
Plum street for 81 400, and had previously car
ried on other real estate negotiations but was
advised by legal COUNSEL not to purchase on nc
sonnt Of defective title These seem to be the
only immediate causes for the suicide Dean
was man of ordinary intelligence It was
quite evident froIn the position of the body when
discovered that he had knelt on the wood pile,
aud fired the bullet into his breast, holding the
muzzle close to his body. Death was evidently
instantaneous.

NINE MORE DOCTORS.
Commencement Exercises at the Central Col
lege Of Physicians and Surgeons.

The second batch of regular physicians, nine
in number. received their diplomas yesterday
afternoon, from the Central College faculty, at
the Grand Opera house
Rev. j. r. Doddridge invoked the Divine aid.
The exercises were interspersed with the sa:naa
class OF dreary band music, SO prominent in the
exercises of the Indiana Medical College the day
before but which goes far toward filing up
time and rendering the programme wearisome.
DR.. r. F. Stone made the address for the fac
ulty, covering the ground Of such addresses-the
history, progress and benefcence of the profess
sion of medicine; the advances in surgery,
relations of the physician to mind,
morals, religion, increase Of days and
the general welfare Of the state; the doctor
as teacher interpreter of nature and in brief,
educated inteiligence;" the present condition
of medical education in America and the
reasons why American medical schools are so
much superior to those of Europe In the
United States we pay attention to the art, and
ignore the science; the fact is more than the
theory with us-hence we turn out better prac-
teal doctors, and so Lawrence Tait's wish that
was justified.
Prof. Stone drew glowing picture Of the
time when the young doctors of the old world
will seek the medical schools of the new, and
showed in what respects the Central College had
attempted to conform with the demands OF the
"higher medical education
