Marriage of Stanley and Miss Dorothy
Tenant,

The marriage of Henry Morton Stanley
and Miss Dorothy Tenant occurred at
Westminster Abbey, July II, in the presence
of many notables and half fashionable Lon
, don. 1t was one of the most interesting
events in many respects that has taken place
lin the thousand years of the abbey's history.
Up to late hour on the night previous to
tie wedding it was feared the marriage
might have to be postponed, owing to the in
disposition of the explorer. All arrange
ments were carried out as planned, however;
\ although Stanley came up the aisle of the
abbey leaning heavily on a cane, accompa-
Spied by the Count d Arocne, who represent

The bride entered the abbey on the arm
of her brother, quite ID minutes after the
groom and his party, and proceeded up to
the altar with the court train of her heavy
white satin broidered costume borne by her
two young nephews, dressed as pages of the
Charles /. period. The great organ played
softly while the marriage ceremony was
performed by the Lord Bishop of Ripon, a
brother of Henry Barnard Carpenter of
Boston, and Dean Bradley and Canon
Farrar.
After the ceremony the bridal party and
several hundred guests out of the thousands
who were present at the Abbey proceeded

We're preeipitated into the water.
The steamer backed OF and life preservers

the work of rescue Immediately began.
Five bodies have so far been recovered.
Many Of those rescued We're severely injured,

Officers of the boat and the chief of police

attempted to jump from the float on to the
deck of the Annex.
As far as known eight persons are missing,

| The explosion occurred in the Chicago river
at the foot of Washington street, in the heart

shock of the explosion brought people run

Tue explosion occurred in the hold, not in
the machinery or boilers. and was probably
caused by some combustble freight stored
there.
Occasionally wounded man was being

mitted the police and tiremen to close in to
