II is becoming such a common Oc-
currence for the Union Pacific
trains TO be del1yed, that people
have come 20 regard the fact a part
OF the regular routine. The Union
Pacific passenger, No. l. due here al
l:30 a. NJ. yesterday, did not show
up until $50 yesterday morning. IL
Is stated that the delay was caused
by 4 wnecS al Evanston, where n
'pusher'' ran into the rear end Of q
freight. Ii was impossible 10 gain
any reliable information, but from
what could be learned, two freight
cars and the cabOose went into the
ditch. The cars caught fire and
were entirely consumed. The track
was torn up and the passenger train
delayed in consequences. No one
was injured.
Early yesterday morning the po-
lice discovered man wandering
around in n partly intoxicated con-
oition. He was escorted 10 tbs city
jail, where he gave the name OF
George Marshall. From papers
found in his possession It was dis
covered that his name was not Mar
shall and chat he had once occupied
the position Of judge in an eastern
city. IL WIS also discovered that he
at one time practicei law, and had
recently left home in the East 10
come TO salt Lake. Out Of consider
alton for the fsei thns he hal been
well-to-dO, and hal occupied respOn-
sihle POSITIONS, il was thought pro-
Der not to mention HE right name.
He was thinly clad for this season Of
the year and suffered from the cold.
Means will be employed 70 cOntnu-
nicate with his friends In the East.
In the meantime he will be looked

Yesterday afternoon about $50
O'Clock, DR.. Saunders was sum-
monei to attend woman who had
swallowed n dose Of tincture Of iron,
with the intention OF ending her
earthly career. The woman's name
il Mrs. Clark, and she lives ON the
corner Of Twenty-sixth and Madison
Avenue. On the arrival OF the
physician an emetic was admin
istered and ia a very short space Of
time she was out Of danger, at least
the drug was out Of her. IL was at
first supposed that the woman had
taken laudanum, but investigation
proved thai uncture Of iron was
swallowed instead. Ms. CLARK
wanted the doctor to give her some
thing which would end her life, as
she was tired of living. IL Is pre-
snmeI that IL was n case OF pre-
meaitated suicide, but the wrong
drug was swallowed.
James Grimes, n young man
about "a years Of age, met with q
serious accident yesterday At noon,
which came nesr costing him the
loss OF one Of his feet Grimes Il
employed In laying switches in the
Union Pacific yards, and In going
10 dinner yesterday jumped onto !
link between the draw heads Of two
cars The cars were q \ stanosiih,
but the engine backed onto the
train Just as Grimes stepped on the
link. The cars came together and
mashed his foot between the draw
heads. He was quickly released
from his perilous position and assist
ei 10 his lodgings on Twenty-hfth
Street. DR.. Powers was summoned
and found that the ankle was dis
located, n small bone in the foot
broken and the big toe forced out a
Joint. The dislocations We're re-
ducei and the broken bone set. IL
i a wonder that his loot was not
more severely injured, as the boot
which he had on at the time Of
the accident was squeezed out OF
shape.-HandGrd.
