Frank Martin and child returned home on (art evening's train, after a visit of two and a htlf months' duration with relatives in Utah.

Price, ore of the live business men of 8'eele. was in thi» city yesterday on l*nd and other business. He says the capital commission will do about the pr- per eaper if they P ufc capital at Steele, for he declares it's the hand- somest place be ever saw for such an institu- tion. At the rac* tra <k Wednesday in a half-mile dash, Proctor 's "Hlondy" defeated Branch 's "Gray Johnny." Purse, $20.

Mr. Weller has recently laid out a town at bia tanch and in a day or two the TRIBUNE will give some interesting facta in relation to its situation, aarroundings and prosp ets. There is no fairer land on the face of the earth than that about Weller. C. A. Smith a wholsale hardware merchant of Chicago arrived on last evening's train accom- panied by F. A. Bristol, a prominent merchant of Fargo. Mr Smith is lo king over Bismarck and studying the prospects of a whslsale center. He was here ten years ago, and of course notes with astonishment* the wonderful improvement. Mr. W. H- H. Mercer, one of th proprietors of Painted Woods City, arrived in the metrop- olis Monday. He reports the new mill aa ooing splendid work cutting from five to six thons -nd feet of lumber per day, which finds a ready sale amo»g the many settlers coming into that oommunity. Messrs. Emerson & Wakeman Monday se- cured the handsomest driving team in the ban- ner city. They are pnre blacks and are perfect beauties. The te m came from Oskaloosa, Iowa, and at the fairs held there have always taken first premium. They were pnrchased of Lau- rence, Thompson & Griffin for $600. Springfield, Mass., Republican: Lnxnan S Norton, who was appointed to tke Annapolis naval aoad< my from Vermont in 1876, where he ranked among the first in his class, haa been obliged to leave the servi- e by color-blindness, and has gone into business in New York. His father, Luman P. Norton, for many years a prominent manufacturer of Bennington, haa gone into the insurance business in Biamarok, Dakota. Captain John B. Le Barge, one of the oldest steaiiboatmen ou the Big Muddy, was looking over the oity Saturday with a view to casting anchor here. The cat'tain has for the last forty years plowed tbe wild Missouri. He has the honor of saying that be took the first boat (the old Key West) to Fort Benton in 1861. C»pt Le Barge ha*- seen all the towns along the river, from St. Lou-s to Bitmarck, start, bnt he thinks the banner city is indeed the "promised land." Geo. H. Soott, representing the nursery honso of W. T. Smith, Geneva, N. Y., arrived from Helena last evening, and will spend a few days in the c ty after which he. will go oust, return- ing agsin to Bismarck in about two weeks to take order* fer next year'a delivery. Mr. Scott says that all the treea he has sold |in this region are doing well. He represents a go jd house and will doubtless do much better this year than last. The country surrounding Bismarck is alive with plovr and snipe, and o-.r sportsmen are having grand t mes in the field. Ducks are quite plentiful in the various creeks and sloughp. A member of the ' BIBUNE force was east of town about three miles yesterday and from his buggy killed twenty-eight plover in_ a vbry 8'iort spnoe of time A boy in the city claims to have killed sixty-eight in one day's hunt this week. J. S. Veeder came down from Washburn yes- terday, accompanied by Judge Bowen, who has been at that point surveying an addition to the town. The proprietors of this new candidate for public consideration have found it necessary to plat an addition The original plat contains but a few blocks, and tbe addition makes tbe town in much better shape, Washburn will be a town of importance, or else there is no virtue in enterprise, a good country and a good loca- tion. The Press and Dakotaian says of W. C. Brown, a son o> ix>l. E. M. Browo of this city: W. C. Brown, a graduate from the Press and Dako- taian composing room, has issued the first num- ber of his Turner County Herald, at Hurley, the new railroad town. The paper would be a credit to any to^n eaat or west, both in mechan- ical appearance and editorial excellence. Mr Brown MM a thorough knowledge of the busi- ness, is n bard worker, wnd if he does not make a suewss of tbe Herald it wiil not be his fault. E. H. Blv last evening received the cheering information that at last all his ties were safrly corralled in the boom at the Little Missouri. He has b en three years getting those ties down the river and he ia tie-rd of tlm business ss matter of course. The contract bas, under the circumstances, been a losing one, and at times be baa had over (6",0fl0 ti- d up and a gang of forty men waiting all summer for providence to provide rain and owell the river sufficiently to make the run. The Little Missouri waa higher yesterday at the crossing of the North Pacific than it haa ever been known befure. Wrecked on the Rail. Shortly after 5 o'clock yesterday afternoon freight train No. 17, bound west, was wrecked one and a half miles weat of Tap pan. Nine box and two flat can were smashed into frag ruents and pilled up in a promiscuous heap, and the engineries half buried in th : swampy ground. Engineer Hall cannot be fonnd, and no doubt lies buried nnder his engine intho mud. A brakeman named Juke Kobler was seriously hurt and waa found buried in the debris. A man named Kelly waa severely hurt in the cheat and another man whose name oould not be learned waa hurt in the back. Theoauseof the acoident is aupp tsed to have been a defecrive rail Dt. Port<-r was tele- graphed for and hastened to the soene on a special train, where he made the wounded men as co fortable as p<*siblej returning about four o'clock thia morning. To Shippers. Goods delivered at railroad warehouse later than 4 p. m. cannot be shipped that day. This arrangement ia rendered necessary by the time of arrival of freight trains. If delivered later than 4 p. m. they are subject to a delay of twenty-four r ours. . JNO. DAVIDSON. Way 24,1893. . Agei t. : The Jumbo of the Press.

Pieces of Hnman Flesh Strewn in Every Direction for a Dis- tance of 300 Feet. . Blown to Atoms. Yesterday a loud report from the southeast portion of the city evidenced that something waa wrong, and in a moment the report hat the boiler in the brick yard « f Bly & Granberry had blown np, was heralded from one end of town to tbe other. Citizens began robbing to the .scene and wtre met by employees of the yard who corroborated the rumor, and in breathless fright said it was terrible. As the yards were approached one oould see a shape- less mass of ruins, pieces of iron, belting bolts and brick in every direction. Where the engine had stood but a few moments before was now a masa of broken timbers, and- iron doubled into every imaginable shape, bespattered with the BLOOD AND BB&IHS of the unfortunate man so suddenly hurled to eternity. The body of John Larsen, head engineer, was beyond recognition. His head waa blown oft and right leg shattered. The body waa blown about 150 feet over the tops of the aheda and deposited at the edge of a wood-pile, the ends ef the sticks being splattered with the blood and brnins of the unfortunate man. Jos. Ouellette a carpenter, shared an equally awful fate. Pieces of his skull were picked np here and there and fragmenta of his brains were fonnd 300 feet from the scene. DANIBXI LIONS, the fireman, was standing within two or three feet of the arch in front of tbe boiler when the explosion occurred. He is badly scalded about the right side of the face, his right hand and arm being also badly burned. He was removed to the Western and is resting comfortably. GLXKINT OVBXIUCTTZ, son of Joseph, aged 14, WBB badly bruised about the face and injared internally. When the reporter visited him he lay in an insensible condition, his face, especially about the. eyes, being swolen almost beyond recognition. He was suffering from conouasion and Or. Kendrick regard* his recovery as very doubtfully. Before the repo ter left he was seiz d witb a spasm which caused him to struggle violently. Two other employees were very slightly bruised, but not enough to cause them serious inconvenience. Ouellette and his son were boarding wjth his brother, Victor Ouellette, on the hill just east of the works. The body of the father and in-> jured son were taken there where the latter waa plaoed in the physician's care and the former pre- pared for buriaL Coroner Smith empanelled a jury at once and the inquests are in progress as we go to press. THE CAUSE OF TBS ACCIDENT of course is not definitely known. The engine was running with only eighty pounds of steam pressure, whereas Mr. Bly says the boiler had been running but a few days ago at nearly 200 pounds pressure. Thosj who ought to know claim that pieces of the boiler look "as if the water had got low, and others say the boiler had a weak spot, which caused a man at the Little Missouri to once predict that the old thing would blow up some day. One thing is certain, the boiler had undergone thorough repairs and to all appearances was first-class. It may have been the negligence of the engineer that caused the terrible catastrophy, but if it was, no one on earth will ever know it. Mr. Ouellette leaves a wife and family of four at Belle Biver. Ontario. He was about 42 yean old, working about twenty feet from the boiler at the time of the bust. THE 0AMAQ2 will amount to between four and five thousand dollars, but the fact that two brick blocks are now waiting for brick from the yard, makes the loss aim >st irreparable. Tbe yard had just been finished and was one of tbe finest in the country. Of course it will be repaired immedi- ately, bnt it will require some weeks to get a new engine boiler and machine in position. The Biver. Captain John Smith bas gone to Glendive to bring down the ateamer Batchelor. The Bosebud overhauled the Josephine at Tobacco Gardeu yesterday, although s e left here thirty-six hours later than the latter. The steamer Black Hills, of the Powers line, arrived yesterday lrom St. Louis. She left that eity April 24th last, with 200 tons of Benton freight. She exjtects to leave this evening. ; Tbe Helena lefc Bufird at 2:30 yesterday afternoon. From Tuesday's Daily. The steamer Josephine left early Sunday morning for Benton. 8he had 287 tons of freight and twenty passengero. Commodore Coulson wont up on her to view the wreck of the Big Horn. The steamer Bosebud left yesterday noon on her second trip to Benton with 24/ tons of freight. The General Bucker arrived yesterdisy morn- ing and is taking on freight for up-river points. The Josephine passed Stevenson at noon yes- terday. The Bosebud and Josephine left for Benton yesterday with good loads. The Butte left for Benton at 6 o'clock las) evening wtJl loaded with freight and passengers. The steamer Blaok Hills is expected here Sat* urday next. As she already has a full load she will take on nothing here but the imported cat- tle belonging to Mr. T. C. Power. From Wednesday's Daily. The Josephine left Ymkton May 3d, and ar- rived at Bismarck-May 17. She will ltave here to-day with 200 tons for Benton and 100. tona of way freight. Captain John Belk pulls the bell, witb Alva Wright and Joseph Coulson at the wheel, Joseph Coulson in the office, Jas. Eglan mate and John Gormley first engineer. She has been rebuilt and newly furnished through out, and is now one of the finest paokets on the river. Owing to tbe arrival of the Josephine, Com- modore Coulson did not sail on the Daootab as he expected. Sirs. Coulson joined the Corn- mod. re last evening, and they will go up river on the Josephine to-day. The Boaebud brought 300 bales of robes, 1.C00 dry bides and 1,000 bales of furs, from Benton and other pointa for shipment eaat. Her passenger list numbered twenty persona.

The captain has beeu studying tbe peculiarities of tbe capri- cious Big Mortdy ever sinoe 1846, and he knowa the river aa he kndwa the alphabet. Dnringhia steamboating career the captain haa seen many an insignificant settlement spring np into a townofmetropolitan proportions. The writer of this paragraph heard him say, not many weeks ainoe. that he should not be aurpciaed if within ten yean Washburn should be, in point of population, a rival of And be added that in making tbe remark he was in de d earn -afc. Within < ha past week over 2,500 tona of freight has been received at Bhmaiek for np river pointa. Contrary te aauat expectation the river business ia im reaaing from year to year and ia now tenfold greater than it waa in 1878, not- withstanding tbe extension of the Nortt- Psoific, which cuts off nearly all of that portion of Montana developed ten yeara ago.

The Brunawick, Mo., News of the 19th inst. contains a long report of the festivi- ties indulged in by Mr. and Mrs. Basey upon tbe twenty-fifth anniversary of their marriage which ocourred on the 14th. The Benton passed Poplar Biver at 9 a. m. yesterday. ^ The Black Hills passed Yates at 1.30 yester- day afternoon. Captain Jamea Smith, a Missouri river pilot, contemplates investing4n Bismarck property. Personal. Geo. B.Eeene, the book and stationer, came in this morning. CoL Geo. W. Sweet returned from Sank Bap- ids Minn., this morning. F. F. Gerard ia over from Lincoln to see that Bismarck doesn't jump the track. Col. Moore, Capt. Chance, and others from Lincoln are in the city, enjoying metropolitan life. Hon. B. W. Benson came np from Valley City this morning to banquet with the Commission- ers. H E Blaisdell, Minneapolia; John Marsey, Chicago; T W McGitton, Cedar Falls, Wis.; are at the Sheridan. Chas. Richardson, of the Valley City Times couldn't stand it, therefore he came up this morning to join in the festivities of the day. Morris Cahn, of Miles City, passed through the city this morning en route home from Cin- cinnati, where he attended the wedding of a daughter. F. T. McMay, a prominent business man of Zanesville, Ohio, believes in the banner city to such an extent, that he will move here with his entire effects. John Maplcson, a heavy merchant of Geneva, N. Y., has decided to tocate in the metropolis, and will bring out his fast team, said to be one of the best in the east. Dr. H. B. McGowsn, of Bogersfield, N. Y., has opened an offioe one door west of the real estate office of Harmon & McLean. Ho oomes to Bis- marck well recommended.- Walter A. Burleigh, an old-time oitizen of Dakota, and one of its earlv representatives in congrefB, for wh-m Burleigh connty was named, is in the city. Dr. Burleigh is ona of-'the ablest m n in the west and takes a natural pride in the county named in his honor. Hon. J. C. Burrows, of Michigan, and wife, accompanied the capital commission to Bis- marck. Mr. Burrows was pleased with Dakota as he saw it in March, and is astonished at its points of excellence as he sees it now. He is a boomer for Dakota and will become a citizen of this territory. Teh years ago the writer met John Haggart, of Fargo, on the grad« of the North Pacific just eask of Bismarck. John's confidence in the soil of North Dakota gained in those days has been justified and be is now not only an honored pub'ic officer but a bonanza farmer who will always meet with a warm welcome at Bismarck J. C. Bliss, of New York, who has been in Bismarck the past week making sundry invest- ments, saya he was led to this city by its geo- graphical location. Said he: "I believe Da- kota will never be divided, and in that event I believe that Bismirck will not only he its capi- tal, but the greatest commercial centre in the northwest." The following ladies accompanied the capital commission on its visit to Bismarck: Mrs. Alex, Hughes, Yankton: Mrs. M. W. Scott, Grand Forks; Mrs. H. H. DeLong, of Canton; Mrs. Geo. H. Math< ws, Brookings; Mrs. C. A. Myers, Bedtieid; Mrs O. M. Towner, Miss A. C. Murphy, Grand. Forks; Mrs. W. F. Steele, Steele; Mts. E. T. Cr^saey, Huron; Mrs. S. 1>. Cook, Mitehell; Mrs. M. G.

Dr. Wechsier has lately returned from the colony of Bnssian Hebrew refugees estab- lished about a year ago at Painted Woods, above Bismarck, on the Missouri river. Ten families first settled there and engaged in agricultural pursuits, and tbe colony haa ainee doubled, ninety-nine persons being now located there. Tbe site was chonen by Julius Austrian of Sr. Paul, and is patticularly favorable. Each farmer has pre-empted 160 acres of government land. Last fall Dr. Wechsier took cattle, im- plement* and seeds that were needed, and the oolony passed through the cold weather admir- ably, refusing tbe proffered aid of the eommis- siosers of Burleigh county. Land has been broken and houses built and occupied. Wh at and potatoes have been planted in goodly quan- tities, and if the season is moderately favorable the twenty families wiil become at once self- sustaining. In recognition of his services the refugees have decided to call the place Wechs- ler's Colony, and the doctor is hopeful of secur- ing for them sufficient machinery this year to enable them to t arvest 1,000 tons of hay, in ad- dition to food supplies. The success of the oolony is regarded aa especially gratifying in that it points out a w*y tp provide for hun- dreds of refugees now being supported by char- ity in the cities.—-Pioneer Press.

A LOSDOMEB claims to have secured posses- sion of the key to tbe gate of hell. He Bhonld be arrested for keeping an infernal machine on his premises. Nor having a whipping-post in Chicago the court was obliged to send a man who had whipped his wife to death to the penitentiary for a short term. A NON-UNIOX printer became tired of living in Denver and took a dose of " rough on rats." It fully demonstrated tbe fact that ita name is not a misnomer. A MABYLAND girl has killed a bear, -and Chi- cago girls talk of calling an indignation meeting. They think it outrageous to blot ont the life of snob an accomplished hugger. COMMISSIONER PBIOE says he is not afraid of the Crees. He prohably pickets the main roads leading into Washington and attaches a burglar alarm to bia door at night. NEW YORK dudes now ride mules along the avennes. Much has bren said and written against the impenitent, misguided American mule, but this ia tbe unkindest cnt of all. A PHILADELPHIA schoo -mt'am suicided be- cause she had a wart on her nose. How much better it would have been to have had herself mputated from the wart. Some women never stop to think. INFERNAL machines si small that they are carried about in the coat tail pocket are scat- tered all over the country. Be careful who you kick—you might hurt him worse, thau yon at first intended. . WHEN Herbert Poore and Anna 8oules were married in Montana the other day the groom went around and tried to make a salted lead mine of tbe editor for heading the marriage notice "Poore—Sanies." IN referring to tbe addition of a pair of twins to the family ef the editor of the Steele Herald a Minnesota paper thinks that "for pro- lific returns on small investments Dakota beats the world." Jes' so. DULUTH TRIBUNE—It is catarrh of the stom- ach that is troubling Bismarck so seriously and threatening his life. All suspicions that an American hog had crawled into his stomach and was rooting around are incorrect. A CANADIAN parson named Walker announced that Canada waa not a good place to imigrate to and his pariBboners have suddenlv discovered that his brand of doctrine doesn't suit them, and ask him to hnnt up another job. / MBS. JOHN BOTSUM of Betaum village, Ohio, eloped Friday after thirty years of married lift. She bad probably Botsum many new spring style dresses that Bhe lit ont to escape her hus- band's wrath before tbe bills began to come in. BOCHESTEB POST EXPRESS: A laughable lit- tle incident occurred ia New York, a day or two ag<>. A dude wbo imagined himself some- thing of a spoctbinan was blowing into the muz- zle of a gun, when it exploded and killed him. How fast the noted women of the world are passing away! Lydia Pinkham has just died, E iza Pinkston is gone and Maty Walker, Hnsie Anthony, Michigan's ''sweet singer'' and aaminy Tilden are growing feeble. Soon all will be gone. ' EIGHT out of twenty-seven governors that Massachusetts has had during this century were graduates of Harvard college, and yet tbe young men of the land close their eyes to the fearful consequemoi and continue to patronize the institution. Two St. Louis lovers haa their front teeth extracted and the teeth of each one made into a sett for the other, and thought it was awful cnte. It may b4 pertinent to add here that the fool luller has not yet reached St. L >uis on bis spring tour. A NEW SHABON, Iowa, racist was pounded by the old man, tarred and feathered by tbe broth- ers, and ridden on a rail by some coutsins of the girl. Then theyHjailed him before the country relatives could get wind of the affair and pay their respects to him. THE St. Paul Dispatch claims that after a re- oent murder it had an extra on the street before the smoke of tbe pi«tol had died out of the air. Bt Paul pistols must make a terrible amount of smoke, or else the air down there is as reten- tive as an editor's fine cut tobacco pouch. THE important news is wired from Washing- ton that president Arthur has purchased a oow. The government teats had become so worn ont and sure from peni-tent use and abuse that his excellency felt that something must be done to relieve <hem, hence etc., eic. GEN. CHAUOIBS and editor McGalloway, of Tennessee, were arrested and placed under bonds just on the eve of a duel. The would-be combatants am muoh pleased at the turn of affairs, and cannot find words to expr ss their gratitude to the officers for acting so promptly. AMONG the depositors in a savings bank in Connecticut there are 3,000 who have made no inquiry about their money for twenty years or more. Wben the iutenat beoomes due, how- ever, they come around with the implacable regularity of twins in the . family of the poor struggling editor. A SENSATION. Thtek. The Tabor-Bash Imbroglio enins at Denver. DENTEB, May 24.—The Tubor-Bush imbrog- lio thickens. Some time since, it will be re- membered, ex Senator Tabor procured the in- the Windsor botel, a former friend and.confi dential adviser, for the alleged embezzlement of fiP,000 while manager of the Tabor Grand: Opera Home, and at the same time instituted proceeding to' recover $20,000 on a criminal charge. Bash was tried and promptly ac~« quitted. In^^ his answer to the second com- plaint Bnah denies specifically all important ^ and set up a counter, olaiin, of which tba * following are the most important: Seventy- five thoniand dollars damages for malicious prosecution; $13,000 commissions unpaid for managing opera house at DenTer and Lead- ville; $19,000 special services as per _ agreement in aiding Tabor's election to the United Stat.a senate, in procuring a divorce from his wife an-i bringing about bis marriage with Mrs. Mc- Court. Bush's answer ia voluminous, and a highly Benut^onal document. iHii Opening tlie Brooklyn Bridge. NEW YORK, May 24. —To-day was ga'a day ia Brooklyn and throughout the city there ap- peared to be a gener l surrender of business to sight seeing and celebration. The main busi- ness avenues, tbe heights and many streets clear ont into the suburbs were decked most gaily with flags and bunting and flowers for the bridal with the city over the river. Public building*, private houses, street cars, wagons and trucks fly colors of all nations in honor of the opening of the big bridge. On every hand preparations are being made for illumination to-night. Great satisfaction is expressed among the peo- ple of Brooklyn at the completion of the work of whicb so much is expected for their city. Venders of bri- ge souvenirs were about in hun- dreds and foun<> ready sale for their wares. Enterprising merchants took the opportunity of advertising their wares on the backs of pictures of the Brooklyn bridge. Fulton street from the furthest end to tbe river front was gay with colors. The decoration of the Academy of Music occupies a small army of men and is be- ing prepared for the reception tonight. All through Columbia Heights and the streets opening into that favorable neighborhood the decoration is very general and the effect hand- some. ' The houses of Col. Boebeling, chief engineer of the bridge, and M-iyor Law, _ of Brooklyn, are decked with flowers and bunting and the coat of arms of New York and Brooklyn. Tbe invalid engineei will receive the president and M yor, and in the evening, for a brief time, the^pubUo. The colonel is feeling better to-da-', but is too weak to leave his house and share tha cere aonies at large. From the towers of tha great bridge the National flags wave and the span across the river is dotted with flags from one end to the other. From early morning crowds began to gather at the end where tfce speech making was to take place. In the har- bor flags flew from all shipping and war vessels. The Tennessee, Vandalia, Kearsarge and Yantio lie in a row off Governor's Island, 'flying the national colors. The navy yard and all ships along the tsew York and Brooklyn water front are decked with bunting. In New York busi ness is suspended and most exchanges closed at noon, and many business places suspended work for the afternoon. Fl»gs flew from the munici- pal find other buildings in the city. At the New York end of the bridge workmen have been busv all the morning putting the finishing touches to the decorations. Heavy Express Robbery. CLEVELAND, O., May 24.—The U. S. express company's money carrier, Alex. Granger, received sundry packages of money and other valuables from the east-bound Lake Shore train at the Union depot this morning, and put them in a buggy standing outside. Somebody from the ice room called to him, and no one being in sight he stepped a little way frooa the vehicle to ascertain who called. Returning he drove to the express company's main office, and there discov- ered that two bags similar to the company's pouches—-but filled with brown paper—had been substituted for the two containiag the money. It is supposed the robbery had been carefully planned by experts and committed at the moment Granger's attention was divert -.L The misBing pouches are said to contain in the neighborhood of $15,000 in thirty packages of remittances from railway stations on the Lake 8hore road betwean Chicago and Toledo, to headquarters. The <.moant cannot be definitely known fer some days. Much of the remittances is thought to be in bank checks and certificates of deposit. CINCINNATI, May 23.—A Times-Star Cattles- bnrg, Ky, special says: Two distinct shocks of an earthquake were felt at 11:30 last night that •hook many buildings in town. ROYALKWfig POWDER Absolutely Pure. This powder never varies. A. marvel ot purity strength and wholesomeness.

The proprietors of this new candidate for public consideration have found it necessary to plat an addition The original plat contains but a few blocks, and tbe addition makes tbe town in much better shape, Washburn will be a town of importance, or else there is no virtue in enterprise, a good country and a good loca­tion.

The Press and Dakotaian says of W. C. Brown, a son o> ix>l. E. M. Browo of this city: W. C. Brown, a graduate from the Press and Dako­taian composing room, has issued the first num­ber of his Turner County Herald, at Hurley, the new railroad town. The paper would be a credit to any to^n eaat or west, both in mechan­ical appearance and editorial excellence. Mr Brown MM a thorough knowledge of the busi­ness, is n bard worker, wnd if he does not make a suewss of tbe Herald it wiil not be his fault.

E. H. Blv last evening received the cheering information that at last all his ties were safrly corralled in the boom at the Little Missouri. He has b en three years getting those ties down the river and he ia tie-rd of tlm business ss • matter of course. The contract bas, under the circumstances, been a losing one, and at times be baa had over (6",0fl0 ti- d up and a gang of forty men waiting all summer for providence to provide rain and owell the river sufficiently to make the run. The Little Missouri waa higher yesterday at the crossing of the North Pacific than it haa ever been known befure.

Wrecked on the Rail. Shortly after 5 o'clock yesterday afternoon

freight train No. 17, bound west, was wrecked one and a half miles weat of Tap pan. Nine box and two flat can were smashed into frag ruents and pilled up in a promiscuous heap, and the engineries half buried in th : swampy ground.

A man named Kelly waa severely hurt in the cheat and another man whose name oould not be learned waa hurt in the back. Theoauseof the acoident is aupp tsed to have been a defecrive rail Dt. Port<-r was tele­graphed for and hastened to the soene on a special train, where he made the wounded men as co fortable as p<*siblej returning about four o'clock thia morning.

To Shippers. Goods delivered at railroad warehouse later

than 4 p. m. cannot be shipped that day. This arrangement ia rendered necessary by the time of arrival of freight trains. If delivered later than 4 p. m. they are subject to a delay of twenty-four r ours. . JNO. DAVIDSON.

BLOWN TO ATSKIS^ y > « • ~ ^

The Boiler in the Brick Yard of Bly , : & Granberry Takes a Notion

^ , - to Boat

And in its Sadden Flight the Souls of , Two Unfortunate Men Are Re­

lieved from Earthly Care.

Pieces of Hnman Flesh Strewn in Every Direction for a Dis­

tance of 300 Feet.

. Blown to Atoms. Yesterday a loud report from the southeast

portion of the city evidenced that something waa wrong, and in a moment the report hat the boiler in the brick yard « f Bly & Granberry had blown np, was heralded from one end of town to tbe other. Citizens began robbing to the .scene and wtre met by employees of the yard who corroborated the rumor, and in breathless fright said it was terrible. As the yards were approached one oould see a shape­less mass of ruins, pieces of iron, belting bolts and brick in every direction. Where the engine had stood but a few moments before was now a masa of broken timbers, and- iron doubled into every imaginable shape, bespattered with the

BLOOD AND BB&IHS of the unfortunate man so suddenly hurled to eternity.

The body of John Larsen, head engineer, was beyond recognition. His head waa blown oft and right leg shattered. The body waa blown about 150 feet over the tops of the aheda and deposited at the edge of a wood-pile, the ends ef the sticks being splattered with the blood and brnins of the unfortunate man.

Jos. Ouellette a carpenter, shared an equally awful fate. Pieces of his skull were picked np here and there and fragmenta of his brains were fonnd 300 feet from the scene.

DANIBXI LIONS, the fireman, was standing within two or three feet of the arch in front of tbe boiler when the explosion occurred. He is badly scalded about the right side of the face, his right hand and arm being also badly burned. He was removed to the Western and is resting comfortably.

GLXKINT OVBXIUCTTZ, son of Joseph, aged 14, WBB badly bruised about the face and injared internally. When the reporter visited him he lay in an insensible condition, his face, especially about the. eyes, being swolen almost beyond recognition. He was suffering from conouasion and Or. Kendrick regard* his recovery as very doubtfully. Before the repo ter left he was seiz d witb a spasm which caused him to struggle violently.

Two other employees were very slightly bruised, but not enough to cause them serious inconvenience.

Ouellette and his son were boarding wjth his brother, Victor Ouellette, on the hill just east of the works. The body of the father and in-> jured son were taken there where the latter waa plaoed in the physician's care and the former pre­pared for buriaL Coroner Smith empanelled a jury at once and the inquests are in progress as we go to press.

THE CAUSE OF TBS ACCIDENT of course is not definitely known. The engine was running with only eighty pounds of steam pressure, whereas Mr. Bly says the boiler had been running but a few days ago at nearly 200 pounds pressure. Thosj who ought to know claim that pieces of the boiler look "as if the water had got low, and others say the boiler had a weak spot, which caused a man at the Little Missouri to once predict that the old thing would blow up some day. One thing is certain, the boiler had undergone thorough repairs and to all appearances was first-class. It may have been the negligence of the engineer that caused the terrible catastrophy, but if it was, no one on earth will ever know it.

Mr. Ouellette leaves a wife and family of four at Belle Biver. Ontario. He was about 42 yean old, working about twenty feet from the boiler at the time of the bust.

THE 0AMAQ2 will amount to between four and five thousand dollars, but the fact that two brick blocks are now waiting for brick from the yard, makes the loss aim >st irreparable. Tbe yard had just been finished and was one of tbe finest in the country. Of course it will be repaired immedi­ately, bnt it will require some weeks to get a new engine boiler and machine in position.

The Biver.

. Tlie Bussiau Colony. Bey. Dr. Wechsier has lately returned from

Ten families first settled there and engaged in agricultural pursuits, and tbe colony haa ainee doubled, ninety-nine persons being now located there. Tbe site was chonen by Julius Austrian of Sr. Paul, and is patticularly favorable. Each farmer has pre-empted 160 acres of government land. Last fall Dr. Wechsier took cattle, im­plement* and seeds that were needed, and the oolony passed through the cold weather admir­ably, refusing tbe proffered aid of the eommis-siosers of Burleigh county.

The success of the oolony is regarded aa especially gratifying in that it points out a w*y tp provide for hun­dreds of refugees now being supported by char­ity in the cities.—-Pioneer Press.

Opening tlie Brooklyn Bridge. NEW YORK, May 24.—To-day was ga'a day ia

Brooklyn and throughout the city there ap­peared to be a gener l surrender of business to sight seeing and celebration. The main busi­ness avenues, tbe heights and many streets clear ont into the suburbs were decked most gaily with flags and bunting and flowers for the bridal with the city over the river. Public building*, private houses, street cars, wagons and trucks fly colors of all nations in honor of the opening of the big bridge. On every hand preparations are being made for illumination to-night. Great satisfaction is expressed among the peo­ple of Brooklyn at the completion of the work of whicb so much is expected for their city. Venders of bri- ge souvenirs were about in hun­dreds and foun<> ready sale for their wares. Enterprising merchants took the opportunity of advertising their wares on the backs of pictures of the Brooklyn bridge. Fulton street from the furthest end to tbe river front was gay with colors. The decoration of the Academy of Music occupies a small army of men and is be­ing prepared for the reception tonight. All through Columbia Heights and the streets opening into that favorable neighborhood the decoration is very general and the effect hand­some. ' The houses of Col. Boebeling, chief engineer of the bridge, and M-iyor Law, _ of Brooklyn, are decked with flowers and bunting and the coat of arms of New York and Brooklyn. Tbe invalid engineei will receive the president and M yor, and in the evening, for a brief time, the^pubUo. The colonel is feeling better to-da-', but is too weak to leave his house and share tha cere aonies at large. From the towers of tha great bridge the National flags wave and the span across the river is dotted with flags from one end to the other. From early morning crowds began to gather at the end where tfce speech making was to take place. In the har­bor flags flew from all shipping and war vessels. The Tennessee, Vandalia, Kearsarge and Yantio lie in a row off Governor's Island, 'flying the national colors. The navy yard and all ships along the tsew York and Brooklyn water front are decked with bunting. In New York busi • ness is suspended and most exchanges closed at noon, and many business places suspended work for the afternoon. Fl»gs flew from the munici­pal find other buildings in the city. At the New York end of the bridge workmen have been busv all the morning putting the finishing touches to the decorations.
