Mormons and polyxamy.

SALT LAKE, UTAH, APRIL, ,5.-The
ffty-eighth annual conference OF the Nor
mon Church convened at the Tabernacle
the Church, and George Q. Cannon were
not in attendance. Doctor Seymour, be-
ginning, said:that the revelation concerning
polygamy was as important as any given
the church by the Prophet, Joseph Smith,
Continuous revelation" said he, sis an
other feature of the Church of Christ. The
necessity of Divine communication was as
clearly fact now as 1t ever was in any
dispensation or age. 1t was through this
principle that Joseph Smith, who was
raised up for the purpose, was enabled to
organize the church, give the design of the
temple, communicate the nature and char
acter OF the ordinances Of the gospel, the
gathering of the saints and the principles
of polygamy in which we so greatly rejoice.
bear testimony that the gospel of Jesus
Christ as revealed through Joseph Smith
is true. including all the princip ss enun-
ciated by him. without exception"
Elder Andrew Jensen, in addressing the
e1ngregation. defended the divinity and
authenticity of the Book of Mormon. He
said Joseph Smith could not have called
down the angels from above had he been
an impostor. He said further he had re-
ceived the gifts and blessings Of the gospel
and that to get these blessings a person
has but to live up to what has been re-
vealed through the Prophet Joseph Smith.
Regarding polygamy and other matters,
Apostle Lorenzo Suow, who recently served
term in the penitentiary for having seven
wives, endorsed the sentiments of the
other speaker.
Elder Jacob Gates prophesied that the
people of Zion would eventually reign
triumphant. and that the enemies of the
Mormons would lick the dust at the feet
of the Saints. No principle Of the faith
would ever be given up.
1t was evident from the tone Of the
various speakers that the Church still
firmly believes In polygamy.

Another Railroad Horror.

ST. PAUL. Mimi. April 5-A special
dispatch from Hampton, Iowa. says terri.
be railroad accident occurred about four
miles west Of there on the Milwaukee and
5. Paul, b. which at lcas; dozen persons
lost their lives and from fifteen To twenty
were injured.
The train which left Chicago at II 80 this
morning and was due there at a:lS this
morning, passed there nearly on time, and
when about four miles west, plunged into
n creek, the bridge OF which was washed
out.
The creek was swollen by an immense
amount OF water, which has been running
for the past few days, and in addition n
gorge OF ice was formed, which, previous to
the ar, ival OF the train carried away por-
tion of the bridge.
There was nothing to show that there was
danger ahead, and the train plunged into
the stream while running at full speed. The
engine and three coaches went into the
creek and were immediately submerged in
n torrent of water, which overfiowed the
banks.
A scene Of the widest confusion ensued,
and those Of the train crew and passengers
who escaped death and injury were imme-
dta.ely called into service to relieve the
drowning or pinsoned passengers. 1t was
with great difficulty that the passengers
could he reached. owing to the rushing OF
the waters through the car windows.
Those who were rescued from the smok-
lag ear, which was almost entirely sub.
merged, were taken from the windows,
some maimed to such an extent that they
we're pSwerlcss to help themselves, while
the others unhurt were nearly drowned be.
fore hid could reach them.
At IL n. IN. six bodies had been taken out
from the wreck and three more were known
to be under the debris, through which the
water wns madly pouring.
