Am Exnerience MIth Gas.

What might have been fatal accident
occurred last evening about 5:45 whereby
the foreman of the gas company, Fred w,
Dean, inhaled large amount of gas and
became unconscious, being resuscitated
only with considerable difficulty.
Dean ana three companions had been
busy all day digging a trench and making
gas connections with the Utah Loan and
Trust company building. About the time
before mentioned the pipe had all been
laid and Dean got into the trench TO make
the final connection. Ee had some diff
Guilty in joining the pipes and while keep
ing his head near the joint inhaled con-
siderable quantity OF gas. Although be-
ginning to feel the effects of it the man
chung onto the two sections of pipe until
he dropped unconscious into the bottom Of
the trench. One of the other workmen
happened to look into the hole and saw
the foreman lying in the position men
toned. Dean was taken into q drug store
near by aud after some little time recovered
sufficiently to take a drink of whisky and
was soon all right again.

wasatch Driving Park Races.

The third day of the Wasatch Driving
Park fall meeting yesterday was well at
tended, and the races proved more inter-
esting than on any previous day. The Og-
den City band discoursed sweet music be-
tween heats.
The frs race called was between Mitch
ellis Elder Lucas and Fitzgerald's Pomp.
The latter horse won the first and third
heats and was declared winner Of the race
and money. Just before the horses started,
old man Fitzgerald became much dissatis
fed and deposed Pomp's regular driver,
taking the seat on the sulky himself. The
best time made was 2:35
There were three eutries for the second
race, half mile dash, best two in three.
Parthean was entered by Chapel, Yellow
stone by Sutton and Nettie S. by
Barker. The little mare was very
lame, but nevertheless she won
the first heat by several lengths.
In the next Yellowstone suddenly devel-
oped come little speed and came in about q
neck ahead, Psrthean distanced and sent
to the stable. The yellow horse also won
the third heat and took the race.
The ladies' race comes off to-day, and
some OF the riders intend entering the con-
test clad in bifricated skirts. One lady
dressed in that style appeared on the
grounds yesterday and was the subject of
no little interest and comment.

GENERAL IMPROVEMENT.

The Manufacturers Record, of
Baltimore of December II, in re-
viewing the industrial progress of
the South, says:
"The past week has shown very
decided increase in the number of
industrial enterprises organized and
projected throughout the South, and
a careful study of the whole situation
and of the plans that are being
matured for many others seems to
indicate tendency to a more gener-
al activity than has been seen for
many months. It is true that there
is considerable complaint of dullness
and of slow collections in some
places, but the outlook apparently
shows that the South, in sympathy
with the whole country, is gradually
entering upon a period of renewed
activity, the full force of which will
not, however, be seen until after the
first of the year, and possibly not
until spring. Then follows summary
of the new enterprises which is too
long for publication in the Banners
limited space. The summary, which,
as already said, does not include the
whole list of enterprises reported
for the week, indicates a decided i'm
provement, which will doubtless in
crease from week to week. There
is every reason to expect that 1892
will be a year long to be remember
ed for the activity in industrial and
trade interests, and if this prove
true, the South will inevitably share
in this renewed prosperity"

TOWNS VS.. RAILROADS.

The Manufacturers Record thinks
that one of the most serious ques-
tions before nearly every growing
town in the South Is How can we
improve our Railroad facilities ?"
The solution OF tins question is a
difficult one in almost every indi-
vidual case, not 81 much from the
intricacy of the 81 .uatIon as from a
feeling of suspiclou-thele being in
many commuuItIra ,nat he railroad
is its worst enemy; ct, what would
that community be without rail
roads Still, people are suspicious
of it because it is ''soulless cor
poration. We are well aware of
the fact that railroad corporations do
not often make a public exhibition of
'Esoul," yet when a town or city
seek better facilities for shipping
and receiving freight, 1t is the most
back handed way possible to charge
the railroad with being souless. then
demand great things from It, and
follow up every attempt %, he road
to improve things by Suspecting
some sinister and evil motive. No
railroad wants to dehber ately crush
a town with which it is doing bust
ness. Rather it seeks t. build up
that town.
When better and enlarged rail
road facilities are demanded. let the
local board of trade lay the whole
matter concisely before The railroad
officials, and then co operfte with
them in every way to br.a about
the desired result, ratheF ian be
suspicious and fearful tina, one OPP
portunity may be lost to squeeze a
few cents out of the road. The idea
that the railroads are rolling in
wealth, and prey to anybody who
can bring suit against them on some
fimsy pretext and fitch few of their
dollars, has put all roads from neces-
sity on the defensive. But if a.
representative body of men will
formulate its scheme, then lay it be-
fore the officials, and both sides
workin harmony, much will be saved
in time, money and good feeling.
Not railroad in the South was pre- |
pared for this years enormous bust
ness. Nor the towns any better pre- |
pared. The consequence is ship |
ments by freight are delayed from
variety of causes. Remedy must be
sought Immediately in the case of
most towns at least for the volume
of business promises to be much |
greater next year than it has been
this year. Let action be taken, then,
looking to harmonious work with
railroad officials and other much de-
sired results will be more easily and |
more quickly obtained.

POSTAL SERVICE.

The President in his message,
touching upon the postal service
says; Eighty thousand miles of
new postal service has been estab-
lished upon railroads. The car dis
tribution to sub-stations in the great
cities has been increased about 2
per cent, while the percentage of er
rors IN distribution has, during the
past year, been reduced over one
half. An appropriation was gwen
by the last congress for the purpose
of making some experiments in free
delivery in the smaller cities and
towns. The result OF these expert
ments has been so satisfactory that
the postmaster general recommends,
and I concur in the recommenda-
ton, that a free delivery system be
at once extended to towns of 5000
population. His discussion of the
inadequate facilities extended under
our present system to rural commu-
mites and his suggestion with
view to give these communities
fuller participation in the benefits of
the postal service are worthy of
your careful consideration. It is
not just that the farmer, who re-
ceives his mail at a neighboring
town, should not only be compelled
to send to the postofice for it, but
to pay considerable rent for box
in which to place it, or to wait his
turn at a general delivery window,
while the city resident has his mail
brought to his door.
It is stated that over $1,000
neighborhood are, under the pres
ent system, receiving mail at post
offices where money orders and pos
tai notes are not issued. The extern
sion of this system to those COMMIT
mites is especially desirable as the
patrons of such offices are not pos
sessed of the other facilities offered
in more popular communities for
the transmission of small sums of
1 have in a message to the preced-
ing congress expressed my views as
to a modified use of the telegraph
connection with the postal service.

WHY TIMES ARE HARD.

The Waco Day publishes an i'm
aginary interview with a grocery
man in which it enumerates all the
places from which his stock came
and then closes by saying that then
a farmer came in and sold bale of
cotton for S35 and purchased a side
of meat packed IN Chicago, a ham
cured in Cincinnati, a key of molasses
raised IN Louisiana, peck of apples
grown in Kansas, a can of condensed
milk from Detroit, a broom made in
St. Louis, plug of tobacco man
ufactured in Lynchburg, an ak
handle turned in New York. and then
he loaded his goods IN a wagon made
at Milwaukee. Next he got pint
of Tennessee whiskey in flask
blown in Wheeling, W Va, and that
night, while IN camp in wagon yard
waiting for daylight to drive home,
he was robbed. He caught the thief.
turned him over to the officers and
the fellow proved to be a New
Yorker.
The fact is Texas does not depend
upon itself for anything; even its
thieves are imported

PENSIONS.

The total number of pensions up
on the roll the Both day of June,
says the President in his message,
was 676,160. There was allowed
during the fiscal year ending at that
time 250,515 cases. Of this num-
Der 102,3S7 were allowed under the
law of June q, 1890. The issuing
of certificates has been proceeding
at the rate of about 10000 per
month, about IS per cent being
cash. Under the new law the com
missioner expresses the opinion that
he will be able to carefully adiudi
cate and allow $4,000 claims dur
ing the present fiscal year.
The appropriation for the pay
ment of pensions for the fiscal year
1S00-1S91, was S127,655, 1913. SO, and
the amount expended S119,53O $40. :
40, leaving an unexpended surplus
of 1915, 144.64.
The President is confident that
there will be no call for deficiency
appropriation this year, which, con-
sidering the vast amount that has
been expended, is something to be
thankful for.
