A FATAL EXPLOSION.
Eight Persons Iastantly Killed and
a Dozen Others Injured,
CHicaao, Oct. 5, ht persons were
almost instantly kill and a dozen
others injured yesterday afternoon by
the explosion of the tug Charles Parker
in the south branch of the river near the
Archer avenue bridge. Three of the
dead belonged to the crew of the boat
while the others were bystanders who
were killed b flying deb: The mang-
led body of J. C. Moore, the engi-
neer of the wrecked tug, was found
floating under a mass of pine slxbs
about 200 feet from the scene of the ex-
plosioa. Moore had evidently been
ly scalded about the chest and ab-
domen, as the skin had peeled off. A
terrible gash, fully five inches long, ex-
tended above the right eye. Several
nours later the body of Captain James
B. Carter was pulled out of the water,
Shortly afterward the body of Samuel
sArmstrong, steward of the tug, was re-
covered. Armstong had beem badly
scalded, but there were few other out-
ward s of injury. Nathan Strauss,
a chemist, has identified the man who
was killed simultaneously with Mrs.
Rice and her baby as his ther, Sam-
uel Strauss.
As the air cleared the Parker was
seen rowing slowly and settling stern
foremost into the water. A moment
later Joseph Cullen and Henry Bell
were seen struggling in the water. Life
lines were thrown to them and they
were helped on board ome of the other
tugs: Cullen's flesh was almost par
boiled, and in clinging to the life ropes
the skin was torn from his hands.

Congrasulations Pouring Ia on the

New Yomm Oct. O& —Telegrams of
eongratriatiem from all sections of the
country are pouring into the home of
ex-President Grover Cleveland, 516 Mad-
{son avenue, because of the bouncing
baby girl who came to gladden his
heart on Saturday last. The home com-
ing of the ex-president and his wife
from their summer residence at Busz-
gard’'s bay was unheralded, and the
event of such momentous importance
was kept even from the ear of the ubi-
uitous reporter for several hours.

Four Lives Sacrificed by Fire in
New York.
SAID TO BE OF INCENDIARY ORIGIN
A Fireman's Fearful Discovery—He
Rushes in to Resone His Bride of
a Month, Whom He Finds Burned
Beyond Recognition,
New York, Oct. §.—Three persons
were burned to death in a fire in a five
story brick tenement house at the cor-
ner of Hudson and Dominick streets,
and two others were very badly burned,
one of them so seriously that he died
soon after.
The dead are: Mrs. Annie Murphy, 39
years old; Miss Katie Dunn, 23 years
old; Jowphine Ryan, 5 years old; Martm
Toohey, 9 yeurs old; Johnny D. Toohey,
11 years old, perhaps fatally burned.
e fire was dicovered by Policeman
McG rath, who heard a sound of break-
ing glass, which he thought was caused
by burglars. Runni Ha to the store
on the ground floor of No. 262 Hudson
street, occupied by J. Kratzenstein, fur-
niture and upholstery, he broke a pane
of glass in the window, when there im-
mediately poured out a heavy volume
of smoke. The policeman rapped for
assistance, and two other officers re-
sponded.
Driven Back by Flame.
They sent out an alarm and then
broke in the doors of the main entrance
to the house on the Dominick side,
Flame and smoke rushed out and drove
the policemen back.
It was evident that it would be im-
sible for the inmates of the house,
ty in number, to escape by the stairs.
The policemen hastened to the fire
escape on the building and shouted to
the panic stricken cocupants not to at-
tempt to descend by the stairs. Then
they climbed up the fire escape and
aided the men, women and children to
descend. In this they were sided by
the firemen, who had quickly answer
the alarm. Fireman Lucas, on reaching
the fifth floor, found in the rear rooms
Matthew Ryan, a boxmaker, who 15 a
widower, and his three young children,
almost overpowered by smoke, and un-
able to help themselves. He dragged
them to the window, and jwith the aid
of his comrades, succeeded in getting
them down the fire escape safely.
A Fireman's Terrible Discovery.
Just then hook and ladder truck No.
8 drove up, and one of its firemen,
Matthew Murphy, sprang to the ground
shouting: “Great d, it's my house!
Where are my wife and children?” Be-
fore any one oould stop him he rushed
through the flames and smoke and
fought his way up the stairs to the fifth
floor. There he found the body of his
wife burned almost beyond recognition
in the hallway just outside her apart-
ment, A little further away was the
burned form of little J hine Ryan,
thedead woman's niece. e was still
living, but died soon after.
The body of Miss Kate Dunn was
found at the foot of a short ladder lead-
ing to the roof. She had evidently been
overcome by the smoke and burned to
death while seeking to escape there. The
two boys, John and Martin Toohey,
Murphy's stepsons, were found in the
room. They were removed to the rooms
of the Monticello elub across the street,
where the half dressed tenants had
found refuge. Thence the boys were
taken to St. Vincent's hospital. Martin
Toohey was terribly burned all over his
body, and died a few hours later. His
brother John is not so badly burned,
but is feared he may be fatally injured
by inhaling smoke. Mrs. Murphy was
married to Fireman Murphy only one
month .
Nine families resided in the house,
and each family had an average of three
boarders. The fire broke out in an un-
occupied woodhouse in the cellar, and
Sha police say that it was of incendiary
