fast yesterday afternoon.
The first one was to the effect that q
collision at Pleasant Valley Junction
had wrecked a couple of locomotives
and half dozen cars, and killed the
engineer and fireman.
Later on rumors of another accident
arrived, by which brakeman had lost
both legs at Green River.
Still later, both rumors were con-
drmed, at least to some extent, and it
was then learned that Fireman David
Graham a re identof Provo, had been in
stantly killed, and engineer e. G. Baker
badly injured by the ditching of light
engine, which had been derailed, either
by meeting with some obstacle on the
track or running through an open
II switch.
The othfr accident occurred at Green
River, the victim being a brakeman
named II. J. Moore. Moore was
brought up on last evenings train and
taken to st. Mary's hospital, as was
also q man named Richard Thomas,
who was injured in the coal mines at
Schofeld. inquiry at the hospital last
evening, elected the information that
one of Thomas legs was broken, while
both OF Moore's legs we're badly crushed.
1t was not thought that smputation
would be necessary in either case
PERSONAL AND GENERAL.

THIRTEEN carloads of ore came in

THE Union Ticket Office took on a

WILLARD P. Jc1,Es, president of the
| Nebraska & Western road, says work
on the new line from Sioux City, Iowa,
to Salt Lake Will be completed in twenty
months. The line will be 15U miles
shorter than the Union Pacific. and the

TIE rumor that G. E. Wurtelle, of the
Union Pacifc's Wyoming division, has
resigned, is not confirmed by reports
! from Omaha. There they know moth
ing about it, and can assign no reason
why he should wish TO quit a corpora
ton with which he has been identified
for SO many years.
ONE eff, ct the interstate law has had
on the Union Pacific is that mileage
tickets, which were formerly issued to
commercial men only, are now thrown
open to the public. They make the
| fare ~ cents per mile. instead of 3
cents. On the Burlington the inter
State law had no effect, as their mile
tage tickets were always open to the pub
| lie.
! THE Los Angeles & Eastern is another
proposed through line from Southern
California. The road will reach the
| Mojave Desert" says California ex-
change, through the Arroyo Seco,
crossing the Southern Pacific between
Acton and Alpine, and thence extend
ing in northeasterly direction to con-
meet with a branch of the Union Paci-
| fc."
The Los Angeles, Utah Il Atlantic
Railway Company, IN consideration OF
right of way being granted and part
of the land being conveyed to the COM
pany from the city of Los Angeles, offers
| to build lFve on the east o. the Los
Angeles River aud to keen it in repair
for term of fifty years. The company
proposes to make its terminus on Dead
mans Island, and the road it is said,
will extend in an almost direct line to Salt
Lake City, entering Los Angeles from
the north.
AND now the news comes regarding
the purpose of the Chicago & North
western to run solid Vestibule trains
into Denver over the Union Pacific
aft:r January 18th. The railroe prob
lem in the West at the present time is
one OF great uncertainty. The move for
fast transcontinental trains is at this
momeAt epgrossing the attention of all
the roads, and there is likely to be a
strong fight tor supremacy between
them. Upon the TIN this matter
takes depends much. II the Union
Pacific secures the prize, it is very
probable that the Northern Pacific and
Santa Fe will arrange for through bust
ness, and in this event there Is nothing
to prevent the BURLINGTON and Rio
Grande fir m tering the field, so far
as Denver and Salt Lake are concerned.
It is almost positive, too, that the next
wear or two will see another line built
from the Pacific Coast to Salt Lake.
and it is not i'm probable that second
line will be under construction by the
end of two years.
The worst feature about catarrh is
