News from Cheyenne Wyoming reports four Chinese laborers in Canyon City near Yellowstone Park killed by a erupting boiling spring. Yi Ling had set a tent over a hot spring and moved washing tubs aside after a bar of soap rolled into the water.

The geyser continued to spout for hours as rescuers recovered the victims.

Inauguration Preparations for Harrison Morton Ball and Parade
Washington dispatch details the planned inauguration in Washington for Harrison and Morton. It notes a committee of 32 DC leaders, 1600 subcommittees, and daily communications since November. Estimated cost at least $50,000 with major outlays for decor, music, supper, printing, fireworks, and clerk hire. The ball’s revenue from tickets is expected to cover expenses, with past deficits in 1815 and 1873 cited. Parade divisions include US troops, Pennsylvania and New York contingents, and civic groups. Harrison and Morton will ride from the White House to the Capitol, then back to review the parade. Elaborate decorations, a Chinese pavilion centerpiece, a large flower ship, and a grand fireworks display are planned. The ball features Sousa and Eveque orchestras and a lengthy program of dances and climactic pyrotechnics.
