The Gentiles carried the local election
in Salt Lake City yesterday over the
combined vote of the Mormons, who
made most desperate effort to retain
power in their last political strong
hold. 1t was one of the fiercest
and most hotly contested political fights
ever seen in tha Great Basin. Hereto
fore the Mormons have controlled all the
municipal Offices of Salt Lake City.
Their tower of strength was in possessing
the municipal government of their capi.
tai. with its revenues, its patronage. and
the prestige it gave them all over the
Territory. But this power has now de.
parted from them forever. 1t is as if the
Mormon back had been placed across
yesterdays polls in Salt Lake City and
was remorselessly broken.

OAKLAND, Gala, May 3l-The careless.
ness of bridge-keeper yesterday on the
Narrow gauge road led to the fatal plunge
of an engine and one car into a creek and
terrible loss of life. Twenty bodies have
been recovered and as many more are
missing. The three cars in the train con-
tanned about $50 people. AS it neared the
bridge the passengers who looked ont Of
the window were amazed to see the draw
open.
A Carload of People Enguiftd.
The yacht Juniata had just passed
through, and the bridge keeper made a
desperate effort to close the draw, but
without success. Luckily the we ght of
the engine and the first coach bro Ike the
train in two, and the rest of it was saved.
When the coach fell through it went
completely under water, but nun bers of
the passengers crawled through the win
dows and escaped. The majority of the
passengers in the coach were women and
children. The car which had followed the
engine to the bottom of the muddy estu-
airy soon rose and such of the passengers
as had escaped therefrom were picked up
by yachts and small boats which gathered
at the scene.
Thirty or Forty Persons Drowned.
When those were all picked up the boats
gathered about the car where thirty or
forty women and children lay stuff coating
beneath the water. The top of the coach
was finally cut open and the work of remov.
ing the bodies commenced, ten bein gtaken
out in quick succession. Conductor Re
rath was seen directly after the accident
and said, in all probability, thirty six wo-
men and children had persisted. Three
women and three children were tax IN from
| the water alive and removed to the hospi-

Monument to His Virtues.
In conclusion the speaker said: "Men of
all parties have united to build this me
mortal and to place this statue upon its
pedestal to commemorate these virtues
and these services. Antagonisms are here
forgotten. Cynical carping has no place
here. The good, the great, the strong, the
wise, and the patriotic were all SO abund-
ant in him that out of them the young of
the coming generations may construct an
ideal on which to mold themselves. The
weaknesses, the limitations, the imperfec-
tons incident to human nature, and
which every man must humbly acknowl-
edge his share in, may here be dropped
from view, and the model to be initiated
Is made up of those noble and generous
qualities which were SO marked in the
man we honor to-day.
An Example to Coming Generations.
"The people of this land, far and near,
are at this very hour decorating the graves
of their fallen patriots and heroes with af-
fectionate and heartfelt love and rever-
ence. Our task is part of theirs. We join
our countrymen in the loving duty. This
memorial is permanent decoration OF
the tomb where lies the body of a soldier
and a patriot, whose services to his coun-
try were so great and so brilliant that the
dignity of this structure and the durabil-
ity of this monument only give fitting
expression to the solidity of the trust, the
honor and the regard with which the
American people cherish the memory of
such as he. May it be to US and our chill

THOSE CENSUS CIRCULARS.
A Statement of Interest to Physicians
and Others.

A Statement of Interest to Physicians
and Others.
WASHINGTON CITY, May 3l-Referring
to the criticism of the circular sent to the
doctors throughout the country by DIR.
John 5. Billings, surgeon, u. 5. A, in
charge of the division of mortality and
vital statistics of the eleventh census, SUI
perintendent Porter has made the follow
ing statement: In the census of 1890 the
questions were substantially the same-to
ascertain who were insane, idiotic, deaf,
blind, deformed manned, or sick. A cir
cular letter was sent to every physician in
the United States inclosing a schedule
and asking for reports by name of every
insane or Predetermined person known to
the doctor. No special objection was
made A very large number of physicians
made such reports, and the result was to
add about $1,000 cases 70 the enumerators
returns. The success of this method sug-
2ested similar circular this year
The Information strictly Confidential.
In the eleventh census the same ques.
tions have been used and much the same
sort of circular letters sent 10 physicians
but now they have been asked to furnish in
formation not only with regard to the in
sane and idiotic, but with regard t. the
blind, deaf and sick, the purpose being to
supplement the work of enumerators. 1t
was supposed that if the informant on given
was kept strictly confidential so far as in
dividuals are concerned, and this was
guaranteed by the superintendent of cen
sus and by DIR. Billings, and that if only
tables of results were published, physi
clans would be glad to aid in making
those tables accurate; that the name was
asked for in the physicians report simply
to prevent duplication, and as soon as it j
compared, the data as tn age, sex, nature
of infirmity. etc. are copied on a card anC
the physicians report at once destroyed
This card, which does not contain the
name, is what is used by the census clerks
in compiling the data
A Matter of Importance.
Superintendent Porter said he thought
no blunder had been made in following
the recommendations of the most eminent
statisticians of this country and Europe
and of DR.. Billings, who is himself one OF
the most prominent in his profession in
the United States The great mass OF
people in this country are far too intelli-
gent not to appreciate the value of infor-
nation which would be derived from q
comparison of answers given and the i'm
portance of making such answers rs accu-
rate as possible, especially when they have
the assurance that their answers as re
CARDS each individual will be treated a.
confidential, and all traces of the name de
stroyed as soon as the facts from the
schedule are noted on the tabulation cards.
