Sarah Jones, a Lehi girl in her thir-
teenth year, committed suicide by strych-
nine at that place last Friday. On that
day Sarah went to the Coop. store and
asked for five cents worth of strychnine,
paying for it with eggs, stating that they
wanted it at the house to kill mice. On
the way home she swallowed the strych-
nine, and i'll a few minutes afterward
called in at a neighbours house and got a
drink of water. As she came out OF the
house she fell and exclaimed: 81 am dy-
ing" 4 young man standing by picked
her UP and carried her home, where in a
few minutes she died. The Coroner's
Jury returned verdict that she came to
her death by the means OF taking strych-
nine, administered by her own hand.

SERIOUS SMASH-UP.
i Young ''E1yer's That WIFI Not be
Entered for the June Faces.

Last evening between and 8 o'clock
Mr.. Tom Harris and wife were out driy-
ing with spirited horse to an Irish gig,
and when about one block east of the
Park boulevard, on the street leading
from the Penitentiary, Marshal Ireland's
and Mr. Harris rigs struck new piece
of graveled road, The rafting noise
frightened both teams, Snd the colt
driven by Harris gave a jump and ran
down the road at q terrific rate, kicking
and plunging from one side of the street
to the other until it collided and Mr.. and
Mrs. Harris, the horse and the cart were
thrown in four different directions.
Assoon as MIR. Ireland could sufficiently
quiet bis frightened team to make it safe
to leave them, he went in pursuit of the
wreck. Mr.. Harris was found in the
middle of the road insensible, but came
to consciousness IN few minutes after
water had been freely applied to him.
On his head were three frightful gashes
and his whole body was badly injured.
Mrs. Harris was also landed in the mid
die OF the Rocky Road to Dublin" but
not seriously hurt The horse jumped
across a ditch into the mud and broke
its front leg just below the knee 1t was
first thought advisable to shoot the ami
NAL, but afterwards decided to splint the
leg in hopes OF saving him, as he is a
valuable colt.
The cart-ask OF the winds, etc. There
was not a whole piece OF it LETT, and a
more complete smash-up could hardly
be imagined.

A NnyeI Window Screen

In the Office OF Mr.. T. A. Pascoe there
is on exhibition a magic fy-screen, to be
used on all kinds of windows during the
fiy's festive season. The screen consists
OF fine gauze attached to a spring roller
at the top of the window-frame, so that
in adjusting the window to any desired
height the screen regulates itself accord
mgiiy by means OF a spring. When it is
no longer needed, by detaching the fas-
Jennings from the window it becomes
wound around the roller at the top and is
out of sight and in safe keeping until
again needed. It is a patented arrange
ment and Mr.. Pascoe has secured the
agency for this section.

AN ATTEMPTED RAPE FOILED.
= GRe-Armed Scoundrel Tries to
Outrage - Little Girl.

This morning between and 10 o'clock
the little 4-year-old daughter OF Mr.. and
Mrs. w. A. Nelden, on her way to the
kindergarten school, was met on Second
South street by tramp named Robert
Weston, who induced the little girl to 90
with him, ard not to school, saying he
would give her lots Of candy. The fellow
took her up Commercial street. around
corners and into an out-of-the-wav
closet He was fortunately noticed and
followed by Mr.. Wicket, his son,
and others, who reconnoitered the out
house, and overhearing talk pushed the
door open, just in time to save the
frightened child from worse than death.
The little girl was taken home, and the
vile wretch to the jail.
During his trial this afternoon he en-
| deavored to excuse himself on a plea
Of being drunk, and meaning no
harm. His right arm is cut off just be-
low the elbow, and when he planted the
stubby member down on the table and
feigned innocence lie looked the devil
himself. He was held in 81 900 bail to
await the action of the Grand Jury for an
assault with intent to commit rape.
The city is filled with vicious element
at present, and parents cannot exercise
too much caution i'll regard to the move
ments OF young children.

a TAX DoDGING MONOPOLY.
From the n. Y. World

The Western Union monopoly stands
all the time with teeth glistcning and
claws extended ready to spring upon
tax collector, State or Municipal, and
tear him in pieces. This stock-swollen
corporation, always indifferent to the
law, never pays dollars taxation that
it can find the most fimsy prctensc for
avoiding, and would, if it could, cheat
the State and the city out of every dol
lar lawfully levied on its property OF
bnsincs.
The Western Union has confidence
in courts and juries. If it does not own
the first ii has full reliance on its power
to hoodwink the latter. The Elevated
Railroad Company boldly broke its
contract with reliable Boston firm to
build the Sixth avenue road for S125,-
900 a mile in order to make q construc-
ton ring" among the managers to
build the road themselves at a cost of
10000 mile and pocket more than
100000 mile clear "profit.' When
suit was brought Brother FIELDS re-
mark was, "Go ahead and sue, gentle
men; but remember you want twelve
jnrymeu and we want only one" The
suit has been fought off by the corpora
ton for years.
That is the principal Oh which the
Western Union resists the payment of
taxes. The law of 1880 taxed the capt.
tai stock of corporations doing business
in this State, the amount to be determi-
ned by the dividends. In 1881 the
Western Union was taxed $3.50, 900.
The corporation resisted and in the
courts got the amount reduced to $780,
600. In the notorious Legislature of
last winter the Western Union and
other corporations got law passed
taxing only the capitol in this state, ex-
cept such amounts as had already been
paid or were in judgment. The new
law reduces the Western Union tax in
futurer to about $500. But the $780,
600 was i'll judgment, and execution
was issued. The Sheriff is now in for
NAL possession Of the Western Union
property for this amount, which the
cooperation still refuses to pay. But
now it has got the Sheriff to deal with,
and that officer ought to take care that
the judgment is collected. This constant
tax evasion by enormously rich corpo-
rations should be stopped.

Senator Edmunds has reintroduced
his Postal Telegraph bill, and proposes
to push it to final issue.
In introducing the bill Mr.. Edmonds
said it was the same bill that he had i'll
troduced at the last session of Con-
gress, which went to the Committee on
Post Offices and Post-Roads, and was
reported npon SO late that the subject
could not be considered before the ex-
piration of the session. lie hoped that
the committee would now take the earl
lest opportunity to report on it. He
wished to press it to a vote after
reasonable discussion and examination.
Mr. Edmunds disclaimed any retlec-
ton Oh last years committee and said
the subject was important and needed
considerable examination. The enor-
nous pwoer of the opposition to a
scheme of this kind and its demand to
be heard by counsel and to examine
witnesses and present arguments, and
generally that sort of Investigation thai
great corporations always desires has
the effect TO greatly delay matters be-
fore committees, but now the com.
mittee would not have to go over tho
whole ground again in detail. IL.

ATTITupE OF REpUWIcAN SENATORS
UroN PRESIDENTIAL NOMINATIONS,

The Republican Scnatos held long
caucus last Friday for the special pur-
pose of consulting MS to the policy of
the Republican Senators in the matter
of appointments and combinations.
The matter was freely and with great
unanimity discussed by Senators Ed
mumds, Logan, Sherman, Allison, Frye,
Aldrich and Conger. The general en-
preston may be summarized as follows:
The Republican Senators viii mdorse
all of the good appointments of the all
ministration and will make no foolish
or factious fights, Where man is APP
pointed to an Office by the President
and there is nothing against his private
characteristic Senators will vote as read
lily to couiirm Democrat as n Repub-
lcan. Every case Is TO stand upon its
individual merits; that the man against
whom charges had been preferred should
have hearing before a committee spe-
cially charged with such consideration.
Where Republicans are removed on
account of charges against their private
character the majority will insist upon
careful investigation before confirm
ing their successors.
During the discussion Senotor Ed
munds said that he had been reprcscn-
ted by the newspapers as getting ready
for fierce fight with the Administra-
ton. He had no personal fight to make
with the President and agreed with
Gen. Logan in the view that each APP
pointment should be considered upon
its merits in the same manner and as
fairly as if it came from the hands of a
Republican President. There was no
place for partisanship in the considera-
ton OF these appointments. But where
there has been sham civil-service APP
pointment and where men have been
removed on false charges, or where i'm
proper characters has been given place
in the public service, Mr.. Edmunds
thought the Senate should be mspar-
ing in its exposure and denunciation of
the same.

Railroad Building During the War.

From General Grants article on the
Chattanooga campaign, in the Novem-
Dor Century, we quote the following
description of the means employed to
open u second line of supplies during
the siege: General Dodge, besides
being a most capable soldier, was an
experienced railroad builder He had
no tools to work with but these OF the
pioneers-axes, picks, and spades.
With these he was able to intrench his
men, and protect them against sur
prises by small parties of the enemy.
AS he had no base of supplies until the
road could be completed back to Nash
vile, the first matter to consider, after
protecting his men, was the getting in
of food and forage from the surround.
ing country He had his men and
teams bring in all the grain they could
find, or all they needed, and all the
cattle for beef, and such other food as
could be found. Millcrs were detailed
from the ranks to run the mills along
the line Of the army. When these were
not near enough 70 The troops for pro-
lection, they were taken down and
moved up to the line of the road.
Blacksmith shops, with all tho iron
and steel found in them, were moved
up in like manner. Blacksmiths were
detailed and set to work making the
tools necessary in railroad and bridge
building. AXcmGn were put to work
getting out timber for bridges, and
cutting fuel for the locomotives when
the road was completed; car-builders
were set to work repairing the locomo-
tives and ears. Tnns every branch Of
railroad building, making tools TO
work with, and supplying the work
men with food, was all going OH at
once, and without the aid OF me-
chanic OF laborcr except what the COM
mand itself furnished. But rails and
cars tho men could not make without
material, and there was not enough
rolling stock to keep the road we al
ready had worked to its full capacity.
| There were no rails except those in
use. To supply these deficiencies l
/ ordered eight OF the ten engines Gem
eral MePncfson had at Vicksburg to
/ 10 sent to Nashville, and all the cars
he had, except ten. | also ordered the
troops in West Tennessee to points on
the river and the Memphis and Charles
/ ton road, and the cars, locomotives,
and rails from other railroads to be
sent to the same destination. The
military manager of railroads also was
directed to furnish more rolling stock.
and as far rs he could, bridge material.
General Dodge had tho work assigned
him finished within forty days after
receiving his order. Tho number OF
bridges to rebuild was one hundred
and eighty-two, many OF them over
deep and wide phasms. The length Of
road repaired WAS orc hundred and
two miles"
