The reading public is on the ragged edge
of anxiety and expectation in regard to
General Dement'S next contribution to the
columns of the Trombone. Since the with
drawal of the General, his organ has lost
considerable of its melody, and good, lusty

man, whose name cannot be ascer-
tained was killed by G. p. switch engine,
at the Ogden depot last evening. 1t appears
that the man was walking along the track
with his back to the approaching locomotive
and, it is claimed by some that there was
no bell rung, so that the engine was upon
him before he realized it.. He was badly
mangled, and was, of course, killed almost
instantly. Afew more of these occurrences
will teach people to realize that n railroad
track, especially in busy depot, is not the
promenade conducive to the best health and
the longest life.
Inc CONCERT ~ Lake Gark yesterday AFTER
noon was we'll attended and went OFF sur
prisingly we'll, considering the disagreeable
weather. The programme was carried out
as advertised, and all the selections were
played or sung with great credit to the per-
formers. The audience showed its appre-
citation by frequent bursts of applause and
a willingness to hear the programme to the
end, despite the cold. The evening concert
did not take place, owing to the fact that
the evening air drove all the people to seek
the returning trains. The last train that
went out returned almost Immediately,
and the people were only too glad to get
back to their comfortable fresides.
Mr.. S. w. Eccles, who recently resigned
his position as general freight and passen-
ger agent of the ID. d Il. G. road, has ac-
copied very lucrative and honorable posi-
tion with the Union Pacific road. Mr..
Eccles says that he is not yet prepared to
state the exact nature of his new office, but
he says it will be q much better position
than the one he had on the ID. & II. G. He
will have his headquarters in this city, at
least, for the presint. The U. p. learned
more of Mr.. Eccles' strength as Il railroad
man in its fight with the Little Giant than
it could possibly have learned in any other
way, and the management, no doubt feel
triumphant. in the acquisition Of the gen.
teman to their forces.
