of $500 tons of freight between Buffalo
and Milwaukee and Chicago with clock
work regularity. Her owners claimed
that she was the model freight boat
of the great lakes. With the
exception of the steamers Owego and
Chemung of the same line, the Toga
was the fastest boat of her size running
on the lakes. The first serious mishap
with which the fine steamer met was
last November, when she went ashore
on Grey's reef, near the Straits of Mack
inaw. She was released with much
difficulty, and taken to Buffalo,
where she e, was s. thoroughly repaired last
winter. The Toga was insured in En-
glish companies for $16O, 900 against total
loss and general average. The Tioga
has visited this port regularly every
week since she came out. The news of
the terrible accident which befel her at

NINE BODIES TAKEN OUT.
The Steamer Tioga Exp1odes her Boiler
in Chicago.

A dispatch Of the 18th from Chicago
says: A frightful explosion occurred
tonight on the steamer Tioga, one of
the largest vessels on the great lakes.
Thirty eight people were aboard the
steamer at the time. When the work of
rescuing survivors, which began almost
instantly, was well under way, only
two persons could be found who es-
capped unhurt. To make matters worse,
fire broke out in the wrecked vessel
and huge volumes of fame and smoke
impeded the searchers for the dead and
dying. Probably dozen men, includ-
ing three of the crew, were killed.
1t was in the Chicago River, at the
foot of Washington Street, that the ex-
plosion occurred. This locality is in
the heart of the business section of Chi
cago, and the terrific shock of the ex-
plosion brought people running in ter
ror out of the tall buildings blocks
away.
Most of the victims were Chicagoans,
stevedores who were unloading the yes
sell Only three of the Tioga's crew
were reported on the list The fire
proved stubborn one, and made it i'm
possible at the time to verify the report
that the boilers had exploded. A state
ment was current that the explosion
was due to another cause.-The &C
cidental lighting of a large quantity
of combustibles in the narrow confines
of the Toga's deep hold. Through the
bursts of fire could be seen a great
jagged cleft in the Tioga's decks and
cabin, and aloft on the tall smoke stacks
dangled huge framework of timber
Enthusiastically swaying backward and
forward, telling of the terrific force of
the explosion which sent it there from
thirty feet below.
The Tioga is steel steamship, meas

The expert also discovered ST 900 of

LOST ON LAKE PEPIN.
A Crowded Steamer Demolished by a


A Crowded Steamer Demolished by a
Storm.
The following st. Paul dispatch tells
the story of terrible disaster on Lake
Pepin: The report has reached this
city that cyclone or hurricane struck
the little city of Lake City, located on
Lake Pepin, about seventy miles
below here, and that large
number of persons were killed
by the sinking of steamer. The
steamer Sea Wing was coming no
the lake at about 8 O'Clock tonight,
and when nearly opposite the city the
storm struck it fairly and sent it to the
bottom. There were on board some $50
people from Diamond Bluff, and about
fifty more were on barge which was in
tow. The loss of life runs over 200 at
the lowest.
The steamer Sea Wing left Red Wing,
Mimi, this afternoon with 250 passen-
gers on board, bound for Lake City,
where the state encampment of the
state militia is in progress. At several
small towns along the shore Of
Lake Pepin enough more people
were taken aboard to make about
$50 when the boat reached it's destina-
ton. A barge was in tow which carried
100 of this number. Late this after
noon the party re-embarked for home
and was in the middle of the lake, off
Lake City, when the cyclone struck the
little city.
Anumber of bodies are already washed
ashore, and the citizens have formed a
voluntary police service to patrol the
shores and watch for the others. The
search will continue through the night.
The storm did great damage to property
in and about Lake City, but no lives
were destroyed on shore as far as re-
ported.
The boat became unmanageable at
once. The barge was utloose, and after
an hour drifted to shore with about
twenty people on board. The other 200
or more were drowned.
1t is impossible at this time to give
names, but among the dead are some of
the best known and most prominent
people of Red Wing and vicinity.
Midnight reports from Little Canada,
a village of 500 people miles from St.
Paul, indicate that the cyclone struck
that place with full force. Twelve
houses were blown down, three persons
killed and eight or ten injured. Those
killed Were: Michael McAfee, George
Burt, Hiram Nederstrom.
Only meager reports can be obtained
tonight, as two bridges between this
city and that point are washed out and
trees are blown down across the high
way in every direction.
At Vadnais station on the St. Paul &
Duluth road, six miles from St. Paul,
eleven persons are reported killed.
At Cohlman's at the foot of Coleman
Lake, eight miles north, hotel was
blown down and five guests killed.
The storm passed into Wisconsin in
the region of ST. Croix Falls. Wires
are down in every direction and it is ex-
tremely difficult to get definite informa-
ton.

recognition. The works are idle, and
as yet the company has made no efforts
