the disaster at Sabine" he said, lit is not

very much dissatisfied with the way matters
were managed, and feel that what would
say now would have little force. In the

tence In Judge Powers Court.
Apostle Lorenzo Snow of Salt Lake City,
who on January 6, was tried and convicted
on three indictments for unlawful cohabita-
ton, will SURF, nder for sentence at the close
of the regular calendar. In the trial of the
case it was shown that Snow supported sew
eral wives and lived with the youngest and
prettiest, while periodically visiting several
OF the other women. His defense was that
as he only lived regularly with the young
est wife, his case did not come within the
law, but judge Powers, in charging the Jury
said that if it was found that Snow had a
legal wife living whom he recognized and
supported as wife, and at the same time
lived with another woman in a separate
house, he was guilty of unlawful sohabita-
ti0n. The jury were out but few minutes
when verdictiD accordance with the charge
was rendered. This was the case in which
the prosecution tried the experiment of try
ing Mormon upon three indictments. and
its success has struck terror into the hearts
of the MOrmOnS.

A CLOSE CALL.
How an Engineer Prevented a Great
Disaster.

How an Engineer Prevented Great
Disaster.
An accident occurred on the New York
and Long Branch railroad which narrowly
missed becoming terrible disaster, but
which fortunately resulted without loss of
life or serious injury to any person. The
train which left Long Branch at s:15 a. m,
comprising three cars, was doubled at Red
Bank by the addition of three cars from
Lakewood. All the cars were full of pas
sengers, chiefly New York business men,
although number of ladies were also on
board. Near Matawan there is a railroad
bridge between 200 and 500 feet long, SPAN
ming ravine, some IS feet deep. When the
train was within so or 60 feet of this bridge
the rear truck of the third car got off the
track, it is supposed, in consequence of a
broken frog. The three following cars were
then dragged off the track and ran along on
the ties. Great credit is given to the en-
gineer, who put on full steam as the train
reached the bridge, and thereby pulled the
train over. If he had attempted to slow up,
1t is said, the cars would inevitably have
run off the bridge and plunged into the ra-
vine. In that event, it is almost certain.
there would have been frIghtful loss of
life. The trucks were ripped off the cars as
they were pulled along the ties and the last
car was actually dragged over the bridge up
on its bottom. All the windows IN the latter
car were shattered by the shock, and Its
woodwork badly splintered. The track was
also partly torn up.
Gre t alarm of course, prevailed among
the passengers, who jumped or were jolted
from their seats, and were dreadng every
moment, as the bridge was traversed. that
they would be hurled into the abyss be-
meath. One of them in giving an account
of the accident, remarked that he served in
the war, but that he never before felt that
he had so 'close a call" as this.

firm the belief that the cold wave carried
frost to almost the southern end of the pen
insula, and there is little doubt that the en-
tire crop remaining on the trees is frozen and
spoiled. The precise effect of the freeze upon
the orange trees cannot be determined until
the warm weather sets in. Probably every
tree in the state will lose its leaves and the
belief is that most of the Young trees, except
where projected. are killed. The gradual
thaw under cloudy skies is very fortunate,
however. and the opinion prevails that the
old and mature trees, which have been relied
on for producing the marketable crop Of Or
anges are not seriously hurt and will not be
unless exposed to warm sunshine within the
next few days. 1t is estimated that 800
boxes of oranges, worth million dollars,
were DESTROYED by the freeze.

A War OF determination,

A gentleman who is connected with New
Mexico Territorial Governmental affairs is
authority for the statement that the Terri
torial Government is actually negotiating
with Col. Baylor, of Texas, the noted Indian
fighter, to raise body of rangers to come
over to New Mexico and exterminate the
Apaches. Baylor has had great experience
as an Indian hunter, and it is thought that
with couple of hundred of picked rangers
he could capture the Apaches or bring their
scalps in long before the army officers sue
ceeded in getting sight of them.

Cattle In the West.

Many conflicting reports concerning the
condition of the drifted cattle along the Ar
kansas have been made recently, varying
from losses from TO 25 per cent. A gentle
man OF Denver, who is largely interested
and who has been spending many days in
that locality reports that the loss will not
exceed per cent. of all that have drifted
into the Arkansas valley. These are con-
posed almost exclusively of Texans which
were brought in late in the fall aud Dulls
which were caught by the storm with I'M
pOverished blood. During the first days of
the storm immense numbers OF cattle
drifted in, but they are now very generally
finding their way back into the hills. The
cowboys have been very active IN looking
after the weaker cattle and in keeping wa
ter holes from freezing. Unless more snow
falls no serious losses are apprehended.
