Conductors hRvo been suspended from
service; same of them for n time, but

Canada, bound west, left the train at
this place last evening for the purpose
Of hurying ono Of the children, which
died on tho cars somewhere between
horo and Ogden. Another Que Of tho
children Is also quite sick, atd the fam

necessary attentions may DO afforded the
sufferer. We arc informed that the

cumstances OF continuous travel. The
family is said to be possessed Of ample
means, md hnvo procured everything
necessary to their present unfortunate
condition.
