In the formation OF a State Central
Committee for the new silver party it
will be observed that Eureka county is
not in the swim: We are told that it
happened in this way: The COM
mittee was selected by the delegations
from the respective counties. When
Eureka had been reached Mr.. Wren
for the Republicans refused to name
any one because he was out Of sorts at
the outcrop of Fitchism in the con-
vention. Mr.. Cassidy also declined
on the ground that the Democratic
party, which was already organized,
was a good enough silver party for
anybody. Hence it was that Eureka
county Jailed to get a place in the new
silver party,

many years, and has the reputation of
being well posted.
well" he replied, cit is a little
early in the day to give any definite
information. The coming campaign
promises.to be short and sweet. The
Republican State Convention has been
called to meet in Virginia City, Sep
tember 4th. In all probability the
Democrats will not hold theirs until a
later date. A. G.. Cleveland of White
Pine county and T. b. Hickey of Car
son are spoken Of as available Republi-
can candidates for Gubernatorial
honors. l was told in Reno, however,
that certain prominent gentlemen had
pun thcii HeauS tOBetlcr WIFI tne re-
suit that our present Congressman,
Bartine, will be nominated for Cover
nor and f. G. Newlands for Congress.
Theodore Winters name is men,
toned as a strong one to head
the Democratic ticket; Hardin OF Lyon
county and Cassidy of Eureka are
either OF them good men to
make the fight for Congress. Yes, I
believe Jones is DESTROYS Of serving
another term in the Senate, and Tom
Fitch, who is now a resident OF Reno,
is believed to be in the Senatorial
fight.
Cattle owners are about beginning
the Spring rodeos, which will keep
them busy for some weeks; and as
the rise in silver, together with bright
ening prospects for the white metal, is
increasing the confidence Of mine
owners in their properties, our people
generally don't devote much time at
present to politics."

many complaints against the obstruc-

women, and yet those who INSTRUCTED
the sidewalks at the Deseret Bank cor.

And when requested by the police to
move on, they got sassy, and wanted
to know who owned the earth.

During the present week the E. &
P. railroad shipped $40 tons of ore to
Salt Lake City. This amount is not
up to the general average of ship
ments per week. The falling off is
due to the Diamond Company using
the teams in hauling their new ma
chinery and lumber, in place OF
hauling ore from the mine.

Makes F1ghtful Plunge.
COUNCIL BLUFFS, Sept. .2.--Yesterday
morning freight train went through the
trestle work about six miles cast OF this
city. The woodwork had burned away, and
as the train wound around the curve the
engineer did not see it until too late. A
number OF cars went down. Engineer Mar
tin Eskridge, of stanberry, Mo-, was killed.
and his body has not yet been recovered
from the wreck. G. Williamson, OF Ma
comfy, Mo-, head brakeman, was killed
outright Joseph Burke, OF stanberry, Mo-,
was caught in a car containing pine tar,
which ignited and was almost entirely
burned. Burke was caught in the debris
and before he could be rescued the flames
had caught him and he was burned to death
right before the eyes OF his fellow beings,
who could not lend a helping hand. The
upper part OF his body was entirely burned
away, leaving nothing but the lower limbs.
The remains OF the two unfortunate beings
were brought to this city and shipped this
evening to their late homes. A number of
the wreck and it is thought the body OF the
engineer will be found tonight. The en-
gine was turned bottom side up and the
wreck was fearful to behold.

MUST KEEP THE PEACE.
McAnliRo and Slayin Arrested In London
and Placed Under Big Bonds.

LONDON, Sept. al Slavin aud McAuliffe
have been arrested. They will be arraigned
In court this afternoon on a charge OF con-
spring to commit a breach Of the peace.
Slavin and McAuliffe were conveyed to
Lambeth police station, where both were
arraigned and bound over in 1000 pounds
to appear before the court Tomorrow.
Preparations for the Fight.
LONDON, Sept. 22.-Joe McAulifre, with
his trainer, Billy Madden, arrived in Lon
don last night, and is in good trim for to-
morrow's battle with slavin. McAuliffe
never was in better condition and is conf
dent of winning. He will fight ut 2lo
pounds weight, which Is twenty-seren
pounds lighter than when he commenced to
train. McAuliffe said the fight would be a
very fast one and so far as he was con-
cerned he intends forcing matters, as he be-
iieves Slavin is not fast fighter and will
be nonplussed at such tactics. McAulitfc's
seconds will be Madden and either Gus
Lambert or Jack Burke. Siavin's seconds
will be Mccartney and his trainer. Madden
will offer to back the American boy for
$1,000. Several sporting men who met Nc
Auliffe say they are astonishcd at the won
dcrful condition for such big man. Slavin
Is still in his training quarters and Will not
come to London until Monday. Ills
supporters are most sanguine and
lots OF money is bet on his win
ming the fight. In London boxing
circles McAuliife has the call for the favor
ite. Tic rumors of his being overweight
are unfounded. Madden says, although
this is the first time McAuliffe has under
gone thorough preparation, he could not
feel better or be in better trim than he is at
present.
McAulitfe is slight favorite tonight in
the betting. The odds are five to four, at
which rate thousands OF dollars are wagcrcd
All the big sports consider that Slavin has
at last met a match in McAuliffe, who is a
thorough two-handed fighter, whereas
Slavin, although possessing good right
does not know how to use the left hand
McAuliffe has the advantage in height by
two and a half inches, which, it is consid.
cred. will go long way to helping him II
win the fight. Siavin will fight at 1917 pounds
which is about his usual weight when ii
condition. The fight will commence at lo:30
Many bets are taken that it does not last
more than six rounds. The gloves for thu
fght have been specially made in America
and committee OF the Ormonde club las
night said that they were the best yet seeI
on this of the Atlantic. If the Ormonde clul
gives McAuliffe a fair show he stands in Il
win. Richard Fox, who holds the 50,
put up by the club says he will he will hant
it to McAuliffe if there is the slightest sign o
crookedness.
In the betting McAulifre is the favorite
odds Of five to four being laid on him.

Congressional Forecast.

WASHINGTON, Sept 22.-The unfinished
business before the senate is the bill for the
relief of the supreme court. Probably
some action will be taken on this bill for a
court OF private land claims. but it is diff
cult to say what il will be. The bills next
on the order of business are the two labor
bills, and they will be called up at the first
opportunity. An agreement OF the con-
ferrees on the tariff is not probable before
Tuesday or Wednesday. There will proba-
bly, be speeches by Senators Aldrich, Car
Isle and Ingalls, when the measure reaches
the senate.
In the house the Langston-Venable cleo
tion case has reached the previous question
state and requires further action before any
other business can be touched. The repub-
licans expect to have a quorum Of their
own on Monday or Tuesday. What follows
the election case depends largely on the
tariff bill. When that measure and the
| general deficiency bill are disposed OF the
house will have practically completed Its
work and be ready to adjourn.

The General Condition Of business Salts

Adjustments Of Prices.
NEW YORK, Sept. 22.-R. G. Dun Co.'S
Weekly RerteW of Trade says:
1.-THE root of the difficulty is that wheat
Is quoted at % 3-4c at Chicago, e1.02 3-4
here. and only about s1.03 at Liverpool for
the same grade, so that no free and natural
movement to the seaboard, or hence to
Europe, can take place. Similar obstacles
check the movement OF some other products.
Exports Of wheat and corn are not half
those OF last year ut corresponding dates.
But imports are coming forward in large
volume, anxiety to get goods entered here
before the new tariff goes into effect being
great. In half Of September the increase OF
imports over last year at New York has
been per cent. The movement during the
past week has been toward natural adj
justment of prices, and wheat is lac
lower, with sales OF 81, 900, 600 bushels; corn
1 l-ce lower, with sales OF IL, 000, 900 bushels;
cotton 1-Sc lower, with sales OF 100000
bales, and lard and hogs n shade lower.
But oats have risen fraction, oil nearly q
cent, and butter and some other farm pro-
ducts are higher.
"Thc interior money markets are gen.
orally closer. with the strong demand which
an unprecedented volume OF business
naturally causes. At Boston the stringency

better demand, sales reaching 5,603,O00

avenue under clear signal. Miller avenue
is only short distance from where the

claim that when the crash came the red
lights on the rear OF the Illinois Central
train were burning with extreme dimness.
To this the fearful result following was at
tributed without hesitation.
The other people state that the Burling-
ton train was behind time and running at a
reckless rate and that to this was due the
fact that the engineer could not stop when
he saw the Illinois Central lights. The lat
