When the news reached this city that the

would shortly begin a searching inquiry into
the methods by which q grant vas Obtained
for the Broadway Surface railroad by Jacob
Sharp, several members of the board OF 1884
suddenly LETT the city. Among them were
Aldermen Miller and Dempsey, who are nov
in Florida. Miller has written to Judge
Gildersleeve that he will go before the grand
jury and 81 all that he knows about tho
bribery business,
The receipt of this letter has caused con.
sternation in the ranks of the aldernan and
local politicions. Since the news spread this
morning they have been flying from one
chief to another with private messages, and
there is every appearance that q general
whipping IN of the board of 1884 is now in
dulged in by the leaders in order to brace up
the weak ones and buldoze the terrified. The
leaders all take bold stand. and say that
Miller may go before the grand jury if he
likes, but cannot tell anything about the
bribery, fer he knows nothing. 1t is fact,
hs~ever, that he will shortly leave Jackson
vile, Florida, and appear before the grand
jury now sitting. The news has created no
little excitement, and present indications
point to "squeal," the result OF which. il 10
declared by some of the knowing ones, will
land some of the boys in Jail" A gentleman
who has had very close relations with the
board of aldermen OF 1854, states that he and
others know positively that the aldermen
were bribed.

A TUG BLOWN TO ATOMS.
Fearfal Scene in Boston Harbor-The
Entire Crew Perish in An Instaut-A
Bath Enxinesr Among the Missing.

BosroN, March To-
At about o'clock this morning, the tug
boat John Markee left her dock in Boston for
her usual trip down the harbor on the look
out for vessels. At 7.l5 O'Clock when off
Long Island Head, the boiler of the tug ex-
ploded, blowing the vessel into atoms and
killing the entire crew, composed of q cap
tain and four men. They were: Capt. c. A.
N;ckerson, married, of West Dennis, Mass. !;
Mate Charles F. Hopkins, unmarried, of
East Boston; Engineer Dennison H. Crooker,
unmarried, of Bath. Me {; Fireman F. H.
Crooker, brother of the engineer, married,
and residing at Hyde Park, Mass; Steward
Albert ID. Smith, unmarried, of East Boston.
All were young men OF exceptional character.
Capt. Nickerson has been in the tow-boat
business for about Is wears.
Steamer Fremont of the Boston Tow-boat
Company, was within short distance of the
Markee when the explosion occurred. Eve
witnesses state that the Markee was stand
ing still at the time and that the fireman was
unloading ashes. He had just entered the
hre room when the explosion occurred. First
a column of black smoke arose, then cloud
OF steam, and in an instant the upper works
OF the doomed steamer were hurled 200 feet
into the air, and shivered to fragments. The
hull was blown to pieces and when the tugs
Fremont and William Sprague, which was
also IN the vicinity, reached the spot there
was nothing left of the boat but floating pieces
of timber, wedged among which were found
the mangled bodies of Capt. Nickerson and
Fireman Crooker. They were brought to
Boston. No vestge of the other men was
found and it is the general opinion among
watermen that their bodies were blown to
pieces.
Capt. Dolan, of the Fremont who witness
ed the explosion, states that in the ascending
blast of steam. smoke and debris, he saw an
object which at the distance of about two miles
bore resemblance to hogshead. and which
was probably the boiler. 1t described a par
abolic curve, rose nearly l5O feet into the
air and fell into the water some 200 yards
from the wrecked steamer.
The Markee was fine tug, about eight
years old, of about go tons, and valued at
$4,000 She was insured. She was owned
by Timothy Sprague, Capt. Nickerson, Fire
man CrOcker and others. The Markee was
in very good condition anC the owners knew
nothing which would even justify q specula-
ton as to the cause of the accident.
The accident which is the first of the kind
that has ever happened in Boston harbor, has
cast feeling of gloom over the rivec men,
who may be seen in knots along the water
front discussing the sad fate of the crew, who
were very popular among their fellows. All
the tow-boats, ferryhoats and vessels lying at
the wharves are flying their colors at half mast
in honor of the dead.

AN INVESTIGATION
senator Who Professed One Thing and
Did Another.

New YORK, March 10.
A special to the Tribune from Columbus,
O., refers to the Payne investigation as fol-
lows:
Some unofficial information regarding the
Payne investigation reveals the fact that the
committee is after ex-senator Elliot of Ham,
ilton county, and that the trail is hot. Chair
man Coggswell is considerably close
mouthed about the testimony which is accu-
mulating against Elliott, but the anxiety of
the Pendleton democrats to give Elliott
trouble has revealed some facts about his vote
for Payne. 1t was reported Tuesday that Ell
liott's bargain with the Payne managers was
to take ballot prepared BY Payne man in
the caucus, held tightly between his thumb
and finger in full sight, take it to the hat and
drop it in with the remark, II vote for Dur
bin Ward" Thus the ballot counted for
Payne and the reproach of being ''coal
oiler" could not be raised against the voter.
The Payne crowd has lately asserted that
Pendlston dared not squeal, - some similar
sins might be laid ct bis door. The commit
tee admits shadow Of the truth in this. but
insists that the money was expended isgiti-
mately.

THE GREAT STRIKE.


Sr. LOUIS, March 10.
Not pound Of freight has passed over the
great bridge in or out of St. Louis since
eince the employees of the Bridge and Tun-
mel Co. struck at the command of the Knights
of Labor, except over the St. Louis G. San
Francisco line, and its trains can penetrate
the city only as far as Grand Avenue depot.
From thence to the Union depot, a distance
of about two miles, they are obliged to use
the Missouri Pacific tracks if any, and this
the strikers will not allow. Outside mer-
chants are now beginning to understand at
points along the Gould system that shipments
have entirely closed, and in very urgent cases
orders are filled by express. Many promi-
Dent business men express the opinion that
the diverting of trade from this city on ac-
count of the strike is not only temporary, but
will be permanent. Passenger traffic has
not been interfered with, except suburban
travel, which has been almost entirely sus
pended. All through trains are made up by
the officials of different roads and those of
the Bridge and Tunnel Co. The Knights of
Labor have offered to furnish men to do this
work, but their offer has been refused by the
officials on account or their unwillingness to
trust the property in the hands of green hands.

to come to the rescue of their down-trodden
brethren. The Knights call upon all the
employees connected with the railroad men,
toned to lend their aid in driving convict and
Chinese labor from the road.
Ats A. NJ. perfect quiet reigned at all the
railroad depots owned by the roads whose
employees have struck. All passenger trains
left for their accustomed positions at the
Union depot yesterday morning, and most OF
them on time. At the Iron Mountain yards
no force is on duty except that sufficient to
make up passenger trains. All engines there
have been placed in the round house except
one used for switching purposes. No dis
turbance of any kind has occurred at that
place. At the Missouri Pacific yards the
same Quetness prevails.
