Benefit Concert.

The members of the Fourth Ward
Choir are going to do honor to them
selves on Friday night next, and at the
same time give a helping hand to
Joseph Adams, ST., by giving a benefit
concert in the Fourth Ward meeting
house. Perhaps there are but few men
in Utah who left the old country with a
better record than Mr.. Adams, when,
about two years ago, he sailed for Zion.
For many years previously he had been
the mainstay, unsteady. of the many
Mormon districts in London, and
neither time nor distance, wind, wet or
snow, ever deferred MIR. Adams from
attending to his duties as cboir-master.
The proceedings will open with COM
position by Mr.. Adams, entitled "Wel-
come" after which the choir will per-
form the beautiful cantata, 1.-The Dawn
of Spring." This will constitute the
first part of the programme. The Sec
ond part will be of miscellaneous
character.

Oh. That Lager

In Fifth Street saloon, yesterday
afternoon, an encounter la Mitchell
and John L. Sullivan took place, ex-
cepting that instead of pugilistie exer-
else it resulted in the throwing of
tumblers. A well-known resident OF
the city, but who is unfortunately fond
of lager, was playing at billiards, when
an alteration ensued as to the price
which should be given for the use of the
table. The bartender interfered, and
after some confab he lifted beer glass
and SHE'D it at the head of one of the
disputants. A second glass was flung
at the head Of the grumbler. which took
effect, and resulted in the bartender be-
ing placed in the hands of Sheriff Bel
nap, who conveyed him to the city
hall, where he was charged with an as
sault. The beery-one had his head and
face dressed by doctor, and the censen-
sus of opinion prevails that the punish
ment he received came we'll under the
old saying of Serve him right

Accidents.

On Saturday, at about noon, eight
section men engaged on the Union
Pacific system, between Coalville and a
mine known as Spring Hollow. were
coming home on push" car. and as
the grade is an incline, they had 2x4
scantling with which to brake. When
the party neared Coalville, the scant-
ling broke. owing to the heavy
pressure which it had been sub
jected to during the transit down the
steep grade, resulting in the man who
was operating the brake" named
Eghraim Wilde, being thrown in from.
of the push" car, with its human
freight, which passed over the unfortu-
nate mans body, rupturing his liver.
Another man named John Allen, who
was standing close by Wilde. was also
thrown to the ground and suffered
considerable injury. Their companions
took care of the wounded men and Dr..
Chamberlain, of Coalville, was called
and dressed the wounds and attended
the cases skillfully until DR.. Perkins, OF
Ogden. arrived. We are painfully
compelled to record, however, that
Notwithstanding the supreme efforts of
the attending medical men, Ephraim
Wilde expired at 80 am. on Sunday.
Mr.. John A N was brought to Ogden
and is now an inmate OF the Union
Pacific Hospital, IN this city, where be
is being cared for by the humane staff
of that admirable institution. Eph-
rain Wilde leaves a wife and three
children to mourn his loss.

LEXINGTON, Va, August "a, 1883.
The Teachers Institute, under the SUI
pervision Of ]. s. Savllle, county super
intendent of schools, began its session
last Tuesday in the Young Mems Chris
tan Associatien building and is still in
session. The exercises were OF very
interesting character Lectures on prac-
tical subjects connected with education
were delivered by Professors Qusrles and
Moreland, OF Washington and Lee Uni
yersity; Ayres, of Tulane University,
New Orleans Fuller, bod, and Kregloe,
of Lexington.
After two days of hard work and I'M
firing search the body of the late David
Witt WAS found yesterday afternoon by
Mr.. W. II. Shaw, Of this county, floating
in deep water about three miles below
the place where he is supposed to have
been drowned. There were several
bruises about the head and body, but in
other respects the corpse had natural
look. He was buried last night in the
Presbyterian cemetery in the presence
of large number of sorrowing friends.
The funeral Of MIR. T. Clinton Boude
look place this morning from the Metho-
dist church. The deceased was young
man of amiable disposition, and gave
promise OF long and useful career. AT
the time Of bis death he was the deputy
clerk of the Circuit Court OF this county,
to which place he was appointed about
six months ago.
Captain A. H. Bishop, who has been
for some time past in the employ OF the
Virginia Western railroad, reports that
he has found three different routes for
his road from this point to Gala Water,
on the Richmond and Allegheny rail
road, and be thinks the construction OF
the road only question Of time. The
friends of the improvement are hopeful
of the best results from Colonel Buford's
visit to the European money centres,
which was made, it is understood, in the
interest of this great line Of imIsove-
ment.
The fall term of the Circuit Court be-
gins September l, 1S8S-Judge William
Mclaughlin presiding. The docket,
both law aud chancery, is lighter than 1t
has been for years.
The weather Is getting decidedly fall
like, and fires in the early morning are
not uncomfortable. 5.
