Two Of the Wrecking Crew Badly Injured
-Rumors of Spite Work.
CHICAGO, July 12.-To-night another ter
rife explosion occurred on the big freight
steamer Tioga that was wrecked last eve
ming by unexplained concussion in her hold.
Fire again broke out and in few moments
it seemed as if the huge vessel and cargo
were doomed. The fire department, how
ever, promptly arrived on the scene
and soon got the flames under
control. Two men were injured in
to-night's explosions: Hans Chrlstianson
and Thomas johnson, members of the
wreoking crew. Both were taken out alive,
but seriously injured, burned and bruised
The second disaster puts out of question
all attempts to learn to q certainty now the
number of victims in the first explosion. Up
to nightfall thirteen burned and mangled
corpses have been taken from the fatal
hold. One of the wounded in the county
hospital died. Conservative estimates put
the probable fatalities at total of at least
twenty. What caused the explosions was,
late tonight, still disputed question.
One theory was that a new supply of ex-
plosive vapor had gathered in the hold.
Captain Phelps expressed the opinion
however, that something else besides oil or
it's gases in the hold was the cause, but
what, he would not venture to say. The
coroner's jury adjourned until next week.
This was Capt. Phelps first trip on the yes
sci, and there are rumors of spite work cut
ting figure in the terrible affair, but the
gossip is impossible of verifcation.

SHE CONSENTED.
A Blonde Maiden of Fourteen Summers
Sought in Marriage.

A Blonde Maiden of Fourteen Summers
Sought in Marriage.
Yesterday morning while Deputy District
Court Clerk Thompson was busily engaged
in waiting on the people who have business
in the Office good looking Young fellow
approached the counter and asked for a
marriage license. This is something which
the good natured court clerks are happy to
do. But in this case their willingness to
help the young man toward the altar was
checked. There was no objection to the
young man. He apparently possessed all
the legal requirements demanded by the
statutes of the state, but his intended did
not. He gave her age as fourteen and pro-
duced paper purporting to be the written
consent of the girls parents to the mar
rage. Clerk Thompson looked it over and
came to the conclusion that the paper was
not sufficient. The decision of Mr.. Thomp-
son was not regarded as final by the would
be groom. He left the Office and soon
returned with the girls mother. who said
that she had no objections to make to the
proposed union. Atthis point the blonde
veloped for her age, took an interest in the
proceedings II don't want to get married"
she said. Here the interview with the clerk
was broken off and the mother, girl and
swain went out into the corridor. The
conference lasted but few minutes. The
party returned and the miss ended the
anxiety Of her sutton by saying II give my
consent to the marriage" Clerk Thompson
filled out the license and passed it over to
be signed. The young man was SO nervous
that he had to hold his right hand with his
left in order to write his name. Both the
parties are from Elliston. The girls name
is Nora Hunter and she is but fourteen years
old. The man gave his name as Spencer
Robinson. After securing the consent of
the law they went away in search of some
one to tie the knot,

UNION STOCK YARDS.
Good Prospects That Helena Win 0ecuE

Good Prospects That Helene win Secure
tho Location OF the Establishment.
Mr.. Higgs, representing the Helena inter
cot in the proposed union stock yards, and
Mr.. Crawford, of Columbus, Ohio, the rep
reaentative of eastern capitalists who have
subscribed to the stock are much encouraged
over their prospects after interviews with
our leading business mon. Mr.. HiRgs was
asked yesterday regarding the company's
plans. He said: 1--WE propose to start
yards here with the same facilities the
yards have in the east. Pens for cattle,
hogs and sheep will be 80 arranged that the
stock will have sufficient room for rest and
feed. The exchange bull ding will be erect
ed to accommodate the commission firms
and other business where offices are re-
quired. Another important feature Of the
yards will be to start horse exchange
with laRe corrall and track in connec-
ton with it. This will encourage the SELL
ing OF horses ready for either track or har-
ness.
HAS your company any other plans in
connection with this enterprise?'
Yes, we have several that we cannot
make public at present, but one Of the most
important is the erection Of beef slaugh-
tering establishment that will kill 100 cattle
per diem, supplying the demand at home
and shipping east. Strengthening cattle as
far west as this and shipping the beef prop
erly refrigerated is no longer an experiment.
and a company stands ready in the east to
build and operate such an establishment,
and with the building of the stockyards
it will tend to draw just these kinds of in
dustries.''
''In one or two years, if these plans are
carried out. what will be the employment
given by these various industries2s
well, that is hard to say, but il we have
good seasons and no drouth as we had last
season, it is safe to say that industries of
various kinds will be started that will give
employment to IS to 200 men-and one in
dustry alone, if started, will give employ
ment from 20 to 80 girls, women and boys.
am not at liberty to say what this is, but
facts and figures are being now gathered to
send east for this particular enterprise"
DO your eastern parties intend to come
here and live?'
''Yes, an equal number of them will move
their families here and build residences and
make Helena their future home.''
"What will be the investment made by
your people if these yards are started?"
"We have concluded to put in actual en-
terprises for buildings and real estate $780,
