GEORGE HILLS SAD FATE.
A verdict OF Accidental Death
Funeral To-Morrow.

The particulars OF the sad death of
George Hill yesterday noon were not
fully given in last evenings DEMOCRAT.
1t is learned that the terrible accident
occurred at the Stockton terminus OF the
Utah & Nevada Railroad. While
doing some switching in making up a
train of ore cars, the young man stood on
the track, and in attempting to catch the
link of the moving car he fell underneath
and was frightfully mangled. The train
was stopped as soon as the men learned
what had happened, and on going back
the almost, lifeless body OF the young
man was found with the right side fright
fully cut, the leg broken above and below
the knee, and the arm above and below
the elbow. Two wheels had passed over
him.
Mr.. Henry Buhring witnessed the fatal
accident and reached young Hill just in
time to hear him speak good bye" as
he breathed his last. The body was
brought to the city and an inquest was
held yesterday afternoon at 8 O'Clock at
the Utah & Nevada depot. Coroner
George j. Taylor, and Jurors w. Lonnen,
w. Openshaw and Thomas Daniels came
to the conclusion that George Hill came
to his death entirely by accident, while
coupling cars on the Utah & Nevada
Railway, October 10Th, 1885.
The deceased was but 81 years Of age
at the time OF his death, and leaves a
young wife and infant child to mourn his
untimely death. The funeral services
will take place at $3.50 tomorrow after
noon in the Sixteenth ward school-house.
All frien Is are invited to be present with
the large circle of mourning relatives.
Nearly every person ever visiting the
bathing resorts during the past five years
will remember George Hill. He was a
rather tall and smooth-faced young man,
and usually wore Trademarks cap.
George Hill will be remembered as both
trustworthy and courteous to his employ.
ers and the patrons of the road. The
mourning friends have the sympathy o.
the DEMOCRAT in their sudden sorrow.

SHE WAS FAIR AND FALSE.
An East Cottonwood Youth Nearly
Driven by Love TO suicide.

During the past week the upper ten
dom of East Cottonwood society were
thrown into state Of uproar by the an
nouncement that one of its gilded youths
had attempted to shuttle off this mortal
coil by a method little different from the
one usually adopted by lovers who wish to
solve the great problem and leave the
trials and woes Of this life behind. The
story, as related to a DEMOCRAT reporter
yesterday by gentleman whose vera
city is unquestioned, is as follows: About
three months ago, during the heated
spell George - became acquainted
with the reigning belle at East
Cottonwood at one of the
meetings OF the Young Peoples Mutual
Destruction Society, and the intimacy
thus formed ripened the tender spark Of
love. George thought himself solid, HE'D
himself to Salt Lake City, purchased a
slips engagement ring, and hurried
back to his loved one. Upon
his arrival friend took him
off to one side and informed
him of the girls perfidy; in effect, that
during his absence he had been sup
planted, and that he had better trade the
ring off for yellow dog and kill the dog
This was too much for his ardent nibs,
and he straightway resolved to quit this
mundane sphere.
Being somewhat OF a mechanical turn
of mind, he rugged up continuance to a
bed-post, consisting of springs, strings
and pistols, sat himself down in chair
and calmly awaited the fatal mo-
ments-but imam proposes, God dis
poses" The arrangement miscarried, and
instead of being shot in the head, as
intended, the bullet grazed his side,
inncting slight flesh wound. This
was enough for him. 1t then
dawned on his feeble intellect
that life was worth living, and beyond a
slight light limp when he walks, he is
none the worse off for his abortive at
tempt on his life.

UTAH'S FINE SHOWING.
Home Products and Manufactures
of All Kinds Will be Sent to
New Orleans.

Late yesterday afternoon II DEMOCRAT
reporter stepped upstairs into the Mining
Institute in Commerce Building. As he
approached the room deafening hustle
and racket resounded through the whole
building. The noise was caused by Gem
eral p. E. Conner and his several assist
ants packing up the Utah exhibits for
the New Orleans Fair, to be held
next month. The General informed
the reporter that splendid lot OF speci
mems were rapidly coming in from all
quarters. Six boxes of mineral exhibits
have just been received from A.G. Camp
bell at Milford. The various manufac-
turing companies have promised sam
pies of their productions. Mayor Perry,
of Ogden, will send sample of his flour.
The Bishops of the twenty-one wards Of
this city have agreed to make up car
load OF cereals, vegetables, etc.
1t is now assured that Utah will have
an excellent representation at the coming
exposition. Gentiles and Mormons alike
have been energetic in furnishing and for
warding to General Conner samples of
great variety and beauty. The General
says he will ship the first car load on the

yIGNAUX CONES WITH HIS CUE.
Sick of the Sea, Bnt Hopeful That
He Will Soon be ia Form.

Among the passengers that arrived on
board OF the steamer "Normandie" in
New York the other day, was Maurice
Vignaux, the celebrated French billiard
list. He comes to this country to enter
into several tournaments, in which Slos-
son and Schafer will be his principal oppo-
nents. Vignaux is accompanied by his
wife. He complained bitterly OF the
roughness OF the voyage, being sick, he
said, for the greater part OF the trip.
The first game in which he will take
part will be the tournament in Chicago
next month for money prizes offered by
the Chicago Roomkeepers' Association.
The game is to be the fourteen-inch balk
line, and Vignaux says he knows but lit
tie about that game. From Chicago he
goes to st. Louis, where he plays for one
night against Schaefer and Slosson. He
then returns to New York to take part in
the handicap tournament to be played
there in December. He said, in reply to
the reporters inquiry regarding his form,
that he had been playing very good bill
lizards while in Paris, and that he hoped
to begin his practice as soon as he recoy-
cred from the effects OF his sea trip.

silver Reef Mining Notes.

II. Siedentopf made small shipment
TO the Stormont Mill from the Leeds nine.
The pulp assay OF the ore was over l00
ounces per ton.
The mining interests OF the Reef never
looked better than at the present time.
For the past few months, chlorlders ana
prospectors have been working on pros
poets that were practically abandoned ior
wears. The terms, held out by the new
Teaching Company, has induced cnlo-
rideIs to work lower grade ores than has
been heretofore made to pay, and, as
consequence, several rich bodies Oh ore
have been discovered.
Late developments in the California,
Buckeye & Savage Stormy King, have
opened Up strong bodies OF high grade
ore in the lower workings, and upset all
the old theories, that the silver-sandstone
lodges did not go down. The fact OF the
matter is, that there is more ore in sight
in the Reef than in any camp on the
coast. The ore is freer and the ground
softer than in any other silver camp in
the world. The prejudice against sand
stone deposits has worn away and at the
present rate OF improvement, the Reel
will, within year, take rank among the
leading silver producing camps
Allen G. Campbell, of Horn Silver
fame, and w. II. Burnison, of the South
ern Utah Times, have. purchased the
Butte" mine and will begin at once to
develop it. This is undoubtedly one OF
the finest pieces OF property in this silver
sandstone county, and will, with very lit
tie capital and labor judiciously applied,
turn out bonanza. Thousands OF dollars
worth of high grade ore have been ex-
tracted from the mine by chloriders, near
the surface, and it is well known fact
that there is quite body OF ore, some Of
which is very rich, opened up in the old
workings. Men, whoa posted, say that
| as soon as the water is pumped out, the
mine will pay big from the start. A No.
or pump will drain the property in n
couple of days and keep it dry without
difficulty.

A Slight Collision,

A slight smashup occurred Sunday
afternoon on the Wasatch branch of the
Rio Grande. The passenger train was
returning to Bingham Junction to connect
with the regular incoming express, when
either through carelessness or the en-
gineer's losing control of his iron steed
the train collided with some standing flat
cars, which shocked every one aboard
and bruised some OF the passengers, but
not seriously. Dick Carter was standing
on the rear platform OF the coach when
the unexpected affair happened, and he
got away with an injured hand and a
most beautifully ornamented eye from
trying to rebut the back motion OF the car
with his head. The others were a little
disturbed in their positions by the shock,
which was about the only damage expe-

Despite the city ordinance prohibiting

persist in practicing at the card table.
Yesterday the cops made tour of in
spection about Chinatown, back OF Com

of chips and gibberish OF dozen Celes-
tial law-breakers within side

arrested two OF the leaders, named Wang

his appearance, but with probable be-
lief in the saying that distance lends

the almond eyes will be on the look out.

TACKLED HIM WITH A RAZOR.
a Jealous "Cuilud'' woman Tries
TO carve UP n Eecrennt Lover

A little difficulty arose last Sunday be-
tween two coored individuals in the
Wasatch building. A few drinks of "bug
Juice" mixed With a bit of jealousy and
A favoring drop OF love, constituted the
platform OF what came near being tragic
act. 1t was while floating at the Lake
that this trusting 0thello of the Wasatch
and the fascinating Queen of Spades
CHANGED to meet. A spark of love was
kindled, which ripened into the most
passionate -fondness for each other, and
everything went lovely till last Sunday.
1t seems that the gentleman was IN
vited to a card party Saturday night, at
the house of colored brother. He went.
His first and sworn love followed, but he
did not realize her purpose. On Sunday
morning the two threatening clouds met
in a hall of the Wasatch and trouble was
brewing at once. Words led to blows,
when with all the dexterity of n warrior
the colored woman brew razor from her
bosom and commenced to carve her false
lover. She swore she would cut him
deep, and in several attempts to carry out
her enraged feelings the blood was made
to flow.
A number of persons hearing the squab-
BILE came to the scene and put n stop to
the racket. The colored man had one
very deep and severe cut in his hand,
which was properly attended to. The
avenged woman skipped with the salts.
; faction OF knowing that she had taught
the only moke she ever loved one of the
demands of true colored affection.

The Ogden Boycott.

The late order OF the Knights of Labor
of Ogden, directing that certain indivi-
duals and firms in this city shall be boy
cotted has created much ill-feeling and
led to many quarrels and disputes, which
have almost reached climax in per-
sonal assaults on our streets in many in
stances to-day. That the knights have
right to inaugurate boycotting move
ment OF this description no one denies,
but before they issued their late order
they should have been certain that the
individuals and firms placed in the
tabooed category had really in
CURED censure by patronizing or
sympathizing with the Chinese. We are
informed that several whose names were
placed on the list OF those to be boycotted
have not only not patronized the Chinese,
but have also manifested their sympathy
with many OF the purposes OF the Knights
OF Labor. We are unable to say what
cause the knights may have had to boy
colt any of the tabooed individuals or
firms, but without any knowledge rs to
the cause we are inclined to doubt the
wisdom OF the boycotting movement. AS
far as the facts justify it,, the movement
may be right and the Knights can
not be blamed. They are being furi-
ously denounced, nevertheless, and it will
be interesting to witness the outcome OF
their boycotting order, which will GER
tainly test their strength i'll this com
munity. If they back wholly down and
rescind altogether, their prestige will be
forever destroyed in this city. On the
other hand, If they stand by their boy.
cotting order. they should exempt from
| the effect of IT, such individuals and firms
as appear, upon careful inquiry and in
vestigation, to be entirely innocent OF the
presumed offense, by reason OF which
they were placed upon the list to be boy
cotted by the Knights OF Labor.-Ogder
