FATAL BLASTING ACCIDENT.

One Man Instantly Killed and Another
Terribly Injured While Sinking the
Tracks OF the Harlem and New Haven
Railroads.
While Michel Dupus, aged twenty-one, native
Of Canada, residing at 1872 Third avenue, and
Daniel Geary, aged thirty, unmarried miner,
born in Ireland and residing at 143 East Ninety
second street. were engaged in sinking the tracks
OF the Harlem and New Haven Railroads in Fourth
avenue, between Ninety second and Ninety third
streets, pursuant to recent resolution of
the Common Council, q blast which they were load
ing in the main shaft Of the excavations suddenly
exploded, instantly killing Dupuis and terribly in
juiing Geary, whose left leg was broken, his eye
sight destroyed and his head and body terribly
burned.
Offlcers Of the Twenty. third precinct rendered
prompt assistance, and Police Surgeon White, who
was summoned, attended Geary, who was mme-
diately afterwards renewed to the Reception Hos
pital, in Nnetynlnth street, where he new lies in
a critical condition.
The mangled body Of Dupuis was taken to the
Morgue where Coroner Keenan,, who had been
notified, subsequently held an inquest which
showed the fatal occurrence to have been acci-
dental, but caused by carelessness on the part OF
the deceased and the injured man. The body OF
Dupuis was delivered to friends for transporta-
tion to Canada for lnterment.

is it has not put forth its energies. We
have not heard that the Carlists have been

the most conspicuous polygamic brethren
from Salt Lake City and the Mormon settle
ments, en- route southwark to the Mexi-
can frontier These devout imitators in
matrimony Of Jacob, David and Solomon
know that President Grant wants
only the authority from Congress in
order to smite them hip and thigh, and that
although the polygamy Of Great Salt Lake
was saved at the late session by the pressure
of other denominations nearer home, such
as the Credit Mobilier and Senatorial briberies
and corruptions, the Mormon day of reckoning
Is only for brief season postponed; for
q stringent bill Of pains and penalties against
the uxorious saints who have more wives on
an average than the poor Gentiles will surely
be passed next Winter. Thus convinced that
"salt won't save Them" the Mormon high
priests in polygamy, we think, are preparing
for timely escape from the United States
Courts and their enlarged powers anticipated
under new charter from Congress.
Assuming, then, that the Mormon prophet
is getting ready with his hierarchy for an early
departure from Utah and temporary settle
ment in Arizona, preparatory to permanent
settlement in Mexico, what will be the destiny
of the great body of his followers? The
Pacific Railroad, and the Territorial lines con-
Meeting with it, and the recently opened silver
mines Of Utah, have increased by millions the
value of the houses mills and lands of the
Mormons Their property in the Territory
has thus more than doubled in value within
the last ten years. In and around Salt Lake
City their real estate within the last three
years has risen to fabulous prices. Nor will
it generally decline in value; for Salt Lake
City, which has rapidly grown from ten to
twenty-five thousand, will hardly be arrested
in its growth short of hundred thousand
population. Whatever, then, may be contem-
plated by Brigham Young for the safety of his
institution of and followers in polygamy, the
main body of his community will most likely
remain in Utah to look after their property,
and in the end they may choose to abandon
polygamy rather than sacrifice their comfort
able homes and the enlarged liberty and
chances Of prosperity which will be theirs
under local GENTLE government. We ap-
prehend no trouble between PRESIDENT Grant
and President Brigham in the long interval
to the next regular meeting Of Congress- and
by that time, from the application of a new
law against polygamy, the Mormon problem
will be virtually settled

The AMERICAN PREPARATIONS FOR THE
VIENNA EXPOSITION, we are informed, are be-
hind the others. This ought not to be. It is not
Characteristic of our energetic people. Many
of the buildings devoted to other nationalities
are completed, and elaborate show cases had
arrived from all parts Of Europe, while the
carpenters were still at work, with great deal
yet to do, upon the American building. The
distance of Vienna from the United States,
and, perhaps, the want of that same feeling Of
interest in the Exhibition which the people of
Europe, who are near, feel, may have caused
the delay. For the same reason we may not
make as good show comparatively as we
might make and as we would make at home.
Still we urge the Commissioners and Ameri-
cans generally to put the best foot forward, for
the productions, arts and progress of our
country will be judged in Europe by the exhibit
ton we make at Vienna.

STREET NAMES ON STREET LAMPS
About quarter of a century ago New York
city-we may as well state that the idea
originated in the HERALD ofice-inaugurated
the system of having the names of streets
painted in conspicuous letters on the lamps at
street crossings-a plan that has been adopted
by all the principal cities in the country. Now
we find that the system is going into decay,
even in the very metropolis in which it was
given birth for hundreds, perhaps thou
sands, Of street lamps do not con-
tain the names of the streets they are
supposed to be located in, or, if they do, they
are invisible to the naked eye This may
arise from the fact that the names are not
painted upon them at all, or, if they are, it is
in such an obscure place and manner, like
those on the new-fangled lamps of the in
verted washbowl pattern, that one has to
climb the lamppost to see what the name is.
The convenience of citizens, as well as
strangers, demands that this neglect or over
sight should be remedied, and as the remedy
lies in the hands of the city government it
behooves the proper department to see that it
is promptly applied.
