EXPLOSION ON A STEAMER.
A Number Of stsvsdorss Killed While
Unloading a vesseL.

l y
CHICAGO. ILL.,. July 11.-A fright
| full explosion occurred tonight on the
steamer Tioga, ono Of tho largest vessels
on the great lakes.
Thirty-eight boatmen and stevedorcs
were aboard the steamer At the time.
To make matters worse, Are broke out
on the wrecked vessel, and hugo volumes
Of flames and smoke lmpeded the search
ers for the dead and dying. The bursting
Of the steamers boiler was the cause Of
tho catastrophe. ,f...
1t was in the Chicago River at the foot
Of Warrington Street that the explosion
occurred. This locality IL In the head Of
the business section Of Chicago, and the
terrific shock Of the explosion brought
people running 10 terror out Of the build
ings.
Most Of the victims were Chicsgoans--
stsvedorss who were unloading the vessel .
Only three Of the Tioga crew were reported
among the lost. .I..
Occasionally wounded mau was hauled
out Of the debris, - the flames permitted
the firemen and police 70 close In toward
the literally black hole in which the bod
les Of the unfortunate stevedores still lay.
The uufortunates were gang In charge
OF John Nellie, white man. Among
those supposed 10 b. In the hold were
Nellie himself, Osborn Polk, Henry Alex
ander, John Lewis, Thomas Lswis and
Alexander Smith.
The immense iron hull, painted for
bidding black, stretched 800 feet or more
slong thu piax, and q swarm Of police, IRE
men and reporters were clsmbering over
hcr sides. Eye-witnesses Of the explosion
were busy telling newcomers the CORY
particulars. 1t appeared that the explosion
occurred just after porter named VIII
liam Palmer had gono below with lighted
lamps. He had scarcely reached tho
decks again when the fearful shock came.
1t was said that 100 barrels Of oil wore
among tho cargo, aud that these had DO
come ignited. Others insisted that tho
explosion must have been due to = lack Of
water In the boilers, and that the second
engineer, who was known to be missing,
WA the man whose duty II would be to
start the pony pumps In such an emery
ency. This, IL was declared, would have
produced just such an explosion wrecking
only one compartment Of the vessel.
There WAS much conRrstulation on an
excursion steamer close by on the fnct
that the TioRs was purely . freight car.
rier, and that no passenger whatever
were aboard.
Up to 1880 niue dead bodies had been
taken from the wreck, and I'VE more
wounded had been conveyed To hospitals.
The victims were now more accessible,
the fre having been extinguished by the
inrunning Of the river when the Tioga's
stern finally settled to the muddy bottom
of the river. The stream is not deep
one, and the steamers decks wore still
several feet above the surface of the ikky
rivee.
