EXPLOSION AND DEATH.
The Lake Steamer Tioga Wrecked
by a Boiler Explosion
While Lying Mt Her Dock In the Chicag
River-Firo Breaks Out and
Dozen Men Perish In
ss~. the Hold.

CHICAGO, July 10. - Tho steamer
Tioga, of the Erie Transportation Com
pany, was badly wrecked by an explo-
sion at 7:45 o'clock last even ing, while
lying at her dock at Randolph street
and the river. 1t is reported thirteen
people are killed. The explosio was a
terrific one, and column of smoke shot
200 feet in the air, succee eded second
later by whir.wind of flame, which
illumined bridges, buildings, water and
spars in a frightful glare.
The startled crowds rushed to the
river banks, docks and bridges, and soon
the vicinity was thronged with an inn
mense crowd. A general fire alarm had
been turned in and some fifty streams
of water from the streamers and fire
tugs were pouring inae the hold of the
big iron boat through the gaping hole
amidship, from which the flames poured
in torrent.
The Tioga, which was one of the larg-
est and finest propellers on the lakes, is
badly wrecked, her upper works being
nearly blown away, and her wooden
work badly burned. At ten o'clock the
fire was so far under control that the
search for the victims of the explosion
was begun. Three bodies were soon
brought out, blacSened and mangled.
They were apparently the remains of
unfortunate members of the steamers
crew, caught aboard at the time of the
explosion.
When the explosion occurred there
were between ten and fifteen men in
the fan-tail of the boat, while scores of
others were forward. There were also
several stevedores on the dock and in
the warehouses. Bridge Tender Gaynor,
at Randolph street bridge, less than a
hundred feet away, saw man whirling
upward into the air in the midst of a
tremendous mass of blazing wreckage.
The poor fellow fell into the river, but
was rescued in an unconscious sta to and
cared for.
The explosion did much damage to
surrounding buildings and windows
were broken nearly half mile away.
Up to midnight seven dead and wounded
men had been taken from the boat and
it was then believed that not more than
eight others were in the hold. These
men are doubtless dead, as ten fire en-.
gines have poured tons of water into tho
big hole just above the spot where they
were at work at the time of the eXplo-
sion.
1t will be at least another day before
the water can be pumped from the hold
and the bodies recovered. There is good
reason to believe that the explosion was
caused by gas generated from oil barrels
which were stored near the fan tail.

A GIGANTIC COMBINE.
Celluloid and Zylonite Manufacturers VIII
Form a Trust to Control Prices and Pre-

Celluloid and Zylonite Manufacturers Will
Form Trust to Control Prices and Pre-
vent Competition.
New YORK, July 10.-Celluloid and
Zylonite manufacturers will soon organ
ize trust. Rumors that a combination
was about to be formed by the Ameri-
can Zylonite Company, of Zylonite,
near North Adams, Mass; the Celluloid
Company, of Newark, n. j.; the Airing
ton Company, of Arlington, n. Y, and
the Lithoid Company, of Newburyport,
Mass, have been current in trade cir
cles for some time, and Tuesday it was
reported that the consolidation had al
ready taken effect. The encouragement
was premature, however. Owing to the
absence from the city of w. L. Brown,
of the American Zylonite Company, a
meeting that had been arranged by the
representatives of the various companies
was postponed, and the articles of agree.
ment will not be signed until later in
the week. 1t is said the Arlington Com
pany will not begin the deal.
According to authentic information
the united companies will be capital
lied for Sc, 900, 900 and the plants of the
Zylonite and Lithoid companies will be
abandoned, and all their patents, pat
terms, material and machinery will be
turned over to the United Celluloid
Company, which will hereafter exclus-
lively manufacture all the articles here
tofore made by the concerns.
