Ter has been busy all summer investiga'
ting alleged wrongs in the management
of the Tweksbury aims house. Among
all otEer outrages which Butler said ex'

campaign duties became pressing. II

of the white heat of the ballot box.
Butler must begin TO realize that there
comes time when longsufiering

hardly possibly that Butler will soon
recover from this tanning, although it
is we'll known that his hide is tough, and
his recuperating powers something

THE indignation of Southern people
has been aroused by the persistence and
audacity of the bands of Mormon mis-
sionaries invading that section. Public
sentiment favors absolute prohibition
of PROSECUTING by the pestiferous poiyg-

it is expected, will take up the question
this winter and see whether such legis-
lation can be enacted as will drive out
the Mormon elders and keep them out.

when near Silver Cltf. ran into the freight
train coming north, the collision resulting
In the complete destruction Of both engines
and number Of the cars. Both trains
were running at a fair rate Of speed, and the
crash when the two locomotives came to
gether sounded like clap Of thunder In the
still air OF midnight, arousing people at a
considerable distance from their slumbers.
The force with which the trains met is shown
by the fact that the fifth ear Of the south
bound train was carried forward by the
momentum until Il rested on top OF the
wrecked engines. Luckily the working
forces OF both trains were apprised OF the
impending catastrophe IN lime TO leap for
their lives, and no loss OF life was sustained.
Conductor Laws and Engineer Baker, who
were not running by orders, and made a
mistake as TO the place vi which they were
to pass the up-bound train, were obliged

they walked back TO the barracks and tele.
