statenood WORK at Hur.n.

huron, July 1.-THE attendance at
the statehood convention was increased
to-day by the arrival of large number
of delegates on the noon trains. The
morning session was occupied by dis
cussion OF the report OF the sub-commit-
tee to formulate plan of work. Their
report was:
L. To urge upon the people the vital
Importance of making division snd the
admission OF the two states of north and
south Dakota the controlling issue above
and beyond every other issue for all rep.
resentatiye officers in the fell elections
2. To urge upon the people the es.
peoial Importance of electlpg for the
legislature honest men, brave and de-
termined men who will pledge them
selves to sweeping reform OF the
abuses which flourish under the present
administration, especially in its finan-
oial departments, and to take from the
governor eli the despotic and unusual
powers which have been bestowed upon
him by the Legislature of the territory.
3. To pass laws Immediately during
the first days of the legislature convok.
ing two constitutional conventions, one
for north and one for south Dakota, il
deemed expedient.
~. Who will pledge themselves ir
cane the results OF the coming presiden
tlal election shall be adverse TO Dakota
and shall place In power men and part
les whose policy and measures ahall
threaten Dakota with perpetual or in
definite colonial vassalsge, to enact suct
other measures ns they lawfully may for
| the relief of the people OF these two
states.
Many of the speakers believed IL un
necessary to call constitutional CON
| vention for south Dakota for the reason
| that it had already constitution ap
proved by the people. The report was
adopted by the general committee.
In the afternoon the advisory com.
mittee reported to the convention The
above. When the matter of the two
constitutional conventions was reached
q general discussion ensued, lasting ovel
an hour. Finally this was adopted as
substitute: "To pass laws immediately
| during the first days OF the Legislature
convoking constitutional convention
for north Dakota and to take such step
for the establishment OF state govern.
ment for south Dakota as the people o.
south Dakota may demand and the exi
gencies OF the case may require"

MARRIED AGAIN.
John DuHnci Welded to His First
Wife. G. II Rossteuscher's widow.

John Dunacik Welded to His First
Wife. G. II Rossteuscher's widow.
The following is from the Seattle
(W. T. Enterprise OF July 1st:
MIR. ]. j. DaGack. we'll known mereh-
ant of this city, and Mary Rossteuscher,
of Yankton, Oak, were married by Rev.
CLARK Davis yesterday afternoon at
o'clock. The ceremony WAS private.
The happy pair have commenced house
keeping on Front street.
Yankton readers will recognize these
parties. They are both old residents of
this city. The romance of their lives is
not unfamiliar to our people. Very
many yenrs ago the aforesaid j. j. Duf-
fack welded comely young woman and
q daughter was the product of the unlon.
By and by the temptcr arose in the per-
son of U f. Rossteuscher and elienated
the affections of Mrs. Dnffack. There
were stormy scenes in which mob
figured on the streets of Yankton with
the purpose of hanging MIR. Rossteus-
cher. But he was man of great per-
sonal courage and in the end he sue
ceeded in marrying Mrs. Duffack. Mr..
Duffack married again, bat not happily,
and few years ago was divorced from
his second wife. Something more than
a year ago Mr.. Duffack left Yapkton,
gong to Seattle. Shortly afterwards
his first wife's husband, Mr. Rossteuscher,
died, leaving his widow in possession OF
considerable estate. AS soon as Mrs,
Rossteuscher could settle up her affairs
| and lease brewery which was portion
of her possessions she too left Yankton,
and 1t appears, went also to Seattle.
The conclusion of the romance is given
10 the foregoing extract from the SEATTLE
paper. The parties have returned to
each other and will probably forget the
long interval of separation,

THE SENATOR BURNED.

a Xsnkton Ferry Boat Long Ago Laid
up. Destroyed by Fire and Buried In
the Missouri.
Sometime during yesterday the dis
coyery was made that between the hours
OF l and 2 6. m. yesterday the steam
ferry boat Senator, belonging 70 Robert
Wssson, which, when the sun went
down, 10y fastened securely to the Da-
kota bank of the Missouri river, about
one mile east of this city, had caught
fire, burned her fastenings asunder and
after floating down the river a mile had
sunk nearly out of sight. Investigation
proved that these rumors were only too
true, sad the long litigation and CON
troyersy OF which the Senator has been
the innocent cause is now decided more
emphatically than any court could have
decided. The origin of the fire is q
mystery. Captain Wasson saw the boat
at 6 o'cloez on Tuesday evening and
every thing was all right at that time !.
He advances two theories. One is that
some one went fishing on the boat and
when smoking accidentally dropped q
spark or burning match into some dry
corner, and that the south wind
famed up blaze. The other theory is
that some one deliberately set fire to
the craft. There is but one other theory
which seems reasonable, and that is
that the boat caught fire from sponta-
neous combustion. Greese and rags
abounded on the boat and few days
exposure to this heat would start fire.
The blazs of the fire was
seen in the city, but it was sup
posed that at some one of the brick
yards east of town, kiln of brick was
being burned. The men working at the
Pattee yards did not discover the fire
until the boat drifted by the yards down
the river, and she whs then on fire from
end to end.
Whether or not the hull was destroy
ed cannot now be asceftained. Her ap.
pearance where she s.ck ia suggestive
w tWO iuShS. AOOfS Ln6 WINTER HDOuU
four feet of the lower portion OF the
smoke stack, the safety valve and a
steam chest are visible, and rs these are
stationed on top of the boiler, it cannot
be told whether the boiler still stands on
top of the deck, or is resting on the bot.
tom of the hull. None OF the wood
structure ia visible, but along the shore
pieces OF the raillDg which ran along
two sides of the boiler deck, are to be
found. This railing is generally not
burned, but portions of the boiler deck
which are fast to the railing are oharred
and burned. The boat is sunk in deep
| water, ana is total loss.
The Senator was insured for $1,000,
OF which 81 SOC was written by the
Springfield Fire and Marine, of Spring
field, Massachusetts. and $500 by the
German, of Freeport. Illinois. The
Mortgage bank is the Yankton agent
for both these companies, and to-day
the loss was reported to the home Office
Captain Wasson had $1,000 IN the
boat, which it cost about $4,000 &c
build. Mr.. Wasson was out OF town dur
ing Tuesday night and he did not know
OF his loss until yesterday.
