made the fourth victim.
Caused by Natural Gas.
GREENvIIIR, o., May 2.-Last even
ing an alarm of fire called the depart
ment to the stableof Mrs. Creager. After
half an hours work the flames were ex-
tinguished, when terrible explosion
took place and was heard all over the
city. Crowds gathered and great ex-
citement prevailed. Upon investigation,
o terrible spectacle was presented.
Where fire engine and many people
hau stoou D gaping chaSm was pre-
sented.
Everything was confusion, and the
facts could not be learned for some time,
when at last the truth came out that
natural gas had collected in fire cistern
and ignited from the engine. The force
of the gas raised the engine eight feet in
the air then dropped it into the yawning
chasm. Cries Of pain rent the air. The
front of f s. Rotl's grocery yas blown
in.
The wounded are: Truman Southern,
fatally injured internally Engineer
Boyer, seriously bruised; Charles Hagis,'
bruised; Thomas O'Brien, badly hurt by
horse Many others were struck by fly
ing debris. One boy is unaccounted for
yet, and it is rnmored that he is in the
bottom of the well under the engine
Work is going on to rescue the engine
and ascertain if anyone is under it. The
origin of the fire was incendiary.

The conversion to the Greek Church of the
Crown Princess of Greece, About this the
Hamburger correspondent writes from Athens:
According to what the "Acropolis" has learnt
from best authority, the Crown Princess has
already for a long time he'd the intention to go
over to the orthodox church, a voluntary deci-
sion, the accomplishment of which has been
promoted by the late conversion to this church
Of the Grand Duchess Sergius. The Crown
Princess acts in full agreement with her
family. Her imperial mother, when the
daughter expressed to her her wish to adopt
her husbands religion, even confirmed her in
it by these words: This is fright and good
as the children will baloag to this religion,
the mother ought to do the same" According
to the "Acropolis' the Queen of England has
given her grandchild her blessing in regard to
this step.-Transloted from a Danish paper.

The Helena independent. [volume] (Helena, Mont.) 1875-1943, 1891-03-23

THAT which we call a rose by any other name would smell as
sweet
No more beautiful name than Helena can be found in the v-
cabulaIy OF proper nannes---is SOFT musical, euphonious.
It would almost seem as if some kindly fairy. mourning over
the dehcIencles OF the town in other respects, had sought to make
amends TOR her neglect by bestowing upon it a beautiful name.
Helena--pronounce it, and it fingers on the ear like a lovely
symphony.
It is classical too, as well as beautiful and calls up in the mind
the grandest of poems, the Iliad---the fairest and frailest of wo-
men, Helen.
Gaze upon it, no, don't do that. If you would preserve the
spell which its name conjures up, do anything else bullock att, or
dwell in it.
The Helena independent. [volume] (Helena, Mont.) 1875-1943, 1891-03-23
H LARK.

The lark above our heads doth know
A heaven we see not here below
She sees it, and for joy she sings:
Then falls with Intellectual wings.
O soaring soul! faint not nor tire!
Each heaven attained reveals a higher.
Thy thought is of thy failure: We
List raptured, and thank God for thee!
w f. B. in Spectator.
The Helena independent. [volume] (Helena, Mont.) 1875-1943, 1891-03-23

Turn now to another and different place.
"Bozenan" is neither a beautiful nor a CLASSICAL name. It sounds
somewhat harsh. It does not ravish the ear as does the name Of
Helena"
But here, again, some kindly fairy, guarding the interests Of
those she loved, seems to have made amends for her neglect in
withholding a beautiful name, by bestowing upon the city and its
inhabitants all else that was beautiful and lovely.
The clearest sky, the loveiest scenery, the most delightful sur
roundings.
A place where:
THE tnts of the EARTH
And the hues of the sky"
In color though varied"
In beauty may vie."
Can you hesitate in which of these places YOU would dwell . q,
where the capital of the state should be located?
