tors inspected the road, and after ex-
animation recommended the compile
tioa of the road to Manti at the earliest
possible moment as in their estimation,
It was exceedingly desirable for the in
terests of the railroad company as well
IS for the interests of she people
Of Sanpete Valley. The directors ex-
press themselves well please q with the
condition of the road and promise as
soon as practicable to increase the &C.
commodations by The addition of q con-
siderable amount of rolling stock. The
party returned to this city on Sunday
morning by special train.
A. HERALD reporter in conversation
with the President of the road ysster-
dav afternoon inferred, although that
gentleman was non-cOmmlttal, that
work would be pushed at once, and
trains would be running to Manti be-
fore the snow flies. It was also inferred
that the road would not stop there
but would be extended into southern
Utah, as far as ST. George at least,
in WhiGh event the southern part
of the Territory will be opened
TO communications with the outside
world, and its vast mining interests de-
veloped. The section OF country it will
traverse IS now without railroad facill-
ties, and its populace Will be pleased to
learn of this contemplated move.
The people in general are we'll pleased
with the new management, and feel
confident shat everything will be done
that is possible for the banetit of Utah.
The present terminus Of the road is at
Chester.
THE ASCENSION AlED DROP.
The crowd which visited Lake Park
Oh Sunday to witness the balloon ascen
sion was much smaller than on Thurs
Gay, the former failure doubtless de-
texring many from. going. The
ascension was made, however, although
not by Prof. Comes, and gave general
satisfaction. The balloon was inflated
by means of hot air during the after
noon, and few minutes after the ar
rival of the train at o clock the ropes
were Ioosened, and the balloon shot
slzyward, with a boy hanging on the
trapeze. After attaining a height,
variously estimated at from 1000 to
4 900 feet, the aerOnaEt loosened
the parachute from the balloon,
and the descent commenced. For the
first hundred feet or more, he fell at
terrific speed; then the parachute
opened up, and he dropped slowly and
gracefully to the ground, alighting
nearly half a mile southeast OF the place
of starting. The balloon turned upside
down. and after the hot air had been
exhausted, dropped about a mile from
the Pavilion. Miss Wheeler, who was
to have made the ascension, did not ar
rive in time to make the drop, as had
been advertised.
A CENTRAL PACIFIC SMASH.
The G. P. train which should have
reached here Oh. Sunday, did not arrive.
1t appears that near Humboldt, Nevada,
the engine of the train struck a broken
rail- causing the cars behind the
locomotive to become derailed and
smashed. The express Car was reduced
almost to splinters, and much of its
contents lost, but fortunately the ex-
press messenger was not hurt other
wise than by severe shaking. A car
load of fruit was also squandeIed on
the ground. The emigrant coaches
were badly broken up. but no one was
hurt, although ell received somewhat of
shaking. A tramp, who had been
sneaking a ride, was badly injured. and
but little hopes are entertained for his
recovery. He was taken back to Hum
bolt. This was also the cause of the
delay in the arrival of the Central
Pacific yesterday.
