a TERRIBLE ACCIDENT.


S9ooiAi " she nolee Statesman.
PocATELIo, Sept. 1s.--One OF the
most disastrous wrecks the Union
Pacific has experienced on the Idaho
division for long time occurred this
morning about 4 o'clock, at Portneuf
station, six miles east Of this place,
passenger trains Nos. and 2 collid-
ing, killing FIVE men and seriously in
juring others. The killed are Z.
Wedemier, a mail clerk running from
Huntington to Cheyenne, and four
Indians from the Fort Hall reserva-
tion. The injured are engineer
Charles Hoyt, Chris Mackcns, P. p.
Gunderson, two tramps, mail clerk
Lyons and Squaw. OF these Hoyt,
Lyons and the squaw are the only
ones in immediate danger. Lyons is
fearfully scalded and injured inter
nally, as is also the squaw. Hoyt, al
though not so bad, suffers terribly
from a broken shoulder blade and
slight injuries internally. Mackens
and Gunderson had their right arms
broken and are terribly cut on their
bodies.
This morning, when passenger tram
No. 2 left this point, the conductor
was given orders to 60 on the side
track and meet No. l at Portneui
station. AS No. 2 neared that point
the engineer discovered the other
tram, which, being west bound, had
the right Of way over the main line
and attempted to stop, when withir
little less than half mile of the 9th
er train. The engineer on No.
"felt" his air brake and discovered he
had no control whatever of the train
He Immediately whistled for brakes
| but before the train men had time t,
respond, he was almost upon the 9th
er train. Conductor Hogan tuggee
in vain at the air valve in the cal
but in second with crash No.
struck No. l, which was then at
stand still. The conclusion was ter
rible, as No. 3 being behind, was &C
ing at terrific speed, and not havin
use OF the brake struck with as muc
force as it had attained half mil
back. Before the collision the eng
t nesrs and hremen on both engine
= jumped, all escaping uninjured e.

how one wishing well was erected and op

erect it at one corner Of the room. With
some painted canvas to resemble stones

trived most presentable foundation
There was space at the back for one of us
to stand, and we made a roof over our
heads with canopy OF striped red and
ecru holland. We were dressed as gypsies
in red, brown and yellow, with yellow
handkerchiefs knotted about our heads
We provided ourselves with large mum
Der of Illuminated scrolls, on thick parch
ment paper. which related to wishes, darkly
limiting whether or not the wisher would
gain what was wanted Every one who
tried the dictates Of fate paid ten cents. and
then the bucket was drawn up. We
covered it with paper adorned with cabalis-
tic signs, leaving only an aperture at the
top large enough for the hand to pass
through, and the wisher thus, without see
ing, brought out an answer to the wish
which he or she were requested to be wish
ing hard all through the process We
made quite twenty dollars for our bazaar in

A FireproOf Joist.

a CdToPEOOt OOAb&
Professor Goodman is reported by The
Builder as stating in a lecture on fire pre-
vention that. generally speaking, wooden
joists are better for buildings than steel OF
Iron joists. The two latter materials, he
explained, lose their strength at a not very
high temperature. whereas wood would
sustain heavy strain for much longer
period when exposed to great heat. Be
sides, when wood has once been charred it
does not burn so readily again. Iron and
steel soon expand under the influence OF
heat Brick and stone are Objectionable;
the former becomes fused under great heat.
and the latter is liable to crack or fly when
suddenly cooled after heating. The draw
back to tiles is that when fire plays upon
the joists Of floors fitted with them the
joists expand and allow the fire to play
upon the joists through the tiles. Port
land cement is Objectionable. as it flakes of
when heated, but II wire netting or bars
are imbedded in concrete this defect il
remedied. A joist padded with silicate Of
cotton and incased in salamander plaster
IA mixture of silicate. cotton and plaster Of
paris) the professor holds, Is a splendid
fireproofng material. Such a material is
not only nonconductor, but it il elastic
and would yield with the joist. In an ex.
pertinent undertaken by Professor Good
man it was found that joist of this kind
withstood very fierce heat for eight to nine
hours without sustaining any serious dam.

A New Use for Broken Glas.,

Some ingenious Frenchman has found a
new use for broken glass. The Manufact-
urer tells thatin Paris fragments of broken
glass Of various colors are mixed together.
after having been broken to suitable size
they are then placed in molds lined with
silica, tale or some other resisting material,
and fred. A coherent mass is produced
which can be dressed and cut into blocks
which are, of course, irregularly colored.
Such blocks may be used as artificial mar
BILE. The blocks are usually rough on one
side, owing, perhaps, to incomplete fusion;
this gives surface which is admirably
adapted for causing them. especially II they
are stabilize in form, to adhere to walls
with the addition Of little mortar. Fine
decorative effects can thus be produced.
Designs in relief can be obtained by pres
sure while the block or slab is still plastic.
