A DEMOCRATIC" club in Richmond
has declared in favor of protective
tariff. The national democratic con-
vention at Chicago last June declared
for a low tariff, and the democratic con-
vention of Virginia, only two months
ago, endol sed that declaration; and yet
a so-calIed democratic club in the
largest city of the State repudiates the
action of both those conventions and
comes out openly fora high tariff. But
things that would be strange elsewhere
are not so in Richmond. Indeed, moth
ing that is said or done in Richmond
nowadays excites any special wonder.

mummies are known to exist in the
rugged, almost iinpenetrable portion Of
southern Utah, that has never been eN-

an occasional hunter. One of these
dried bodies was brought out year
ago and placed on exhibition at Ogden
for a short time.
Other bodies have been seen by hunt
ers in the caves of the cliff jewellers,
but it is an extremely difficult matter
to get into the country, the trip being
attended with great danger, There is
and place where il is necessary to ira
verse for miles y narrow, almost inn
perceptible trail thousands of feet above
the bottom of a PERCEPTIONS cliff, and
where by u single misstep the traveller
would be dashed to pieces. Mr.. Mcguire
will make an attempt to reach the soli-
tudcs where the mummies are located
before he returns from his southern
trip. Mcguire will also make some
excavations in the prehistoric mounds
at Paragovna in search Of relics.

FATAL ACCIDENT.


A Son, Going for the Doctor to attend
4tis .'yipg Father. FAILS Down stairs.
New Yo2K, Jan. l0.-Robcrt Hanson,
rs years old, was found in his room at
2211 First avenue, and his son, Benja-
min Hanson, 45 years old, was found
dead in the hall at the foot of the stairs
in the same house. The elder Hanson
had been sick for some time and it is
presumed that he had bad turn some
time after midnight and sent his son
for doctor. 1t is thought that Benja-
min who had been a heavy drinler OF
late, in his haste, fell down the stairs
and was killed, and that the old man
died without medical aid. This is the
theory Of the police at present, bat the
coroner's jury will make thorough in

was suddenly overwhelmed by the mos,
enormous avalanche ever known in the
northwest
The mountains, towering from 1000
to 1000 feet above the track, were COW
cred with snow TO depth of fifteen
to twenty-five feet Light rains and
high winds had packed the snow into a
solid mass of ice.
Suddenly heavy report resembling
peal of thunder rolling along the
mountain side was heard. Almost in.
stantly an immense mass of snow and
ice broke loose from a lofty altitude
and swept down toward the helpless
crew with the speed of cyclone.
The roar was deafening as the mass
sped down the mountain SIDE CARRYING
with it enormous powders and giant
forest trees The engineer threw open
the throttle with the view of pushing
the train as far from the center of the
avalanche as the limited time at his
disposal would permit, but this precau.
ton was of no avail, rs the speed of
the avalanche was greater than that OF
any locomotive.
The avalanche bore down upon the
train, striking it with such force as to
carry the locomotive and ears from the
track, landing them on narrow bench
in the canyon forty-five feet below. AL.
most instantly the train and its crew
were entombed beneath twenty-five feet
of snow, while huge rocks and timbers
rolled over them.
A. l.. Morden, the brakeman who was
killed, was standing on top of the ca
boose when the slide occurred. He was
hurled high into the air, and landed
near the place where the train lodged,
and it is supposed that the caboose
rolled over him, as he was badly
crushed.
1t was ten hours before the shovelers
reached him, and he was still alive
when taken out He died during the
day. William d. Freeman, the other
brakeman, was standing ON flat-car
near the engine, and wien the crash
came bounded into the air and was run
ming toward the spot which a moment
later became the tomb of his comrades.
He came into contact with telegraph
pole. but with miraculous presence of
mind clasped his arms about it just be-
low the crossbeams and in some unac-
countable way the pole withstood the
force of the slide and the brakeman
came down unhurt
Three Italians were killed and TWEEN
ty-fve escaped. John Benn, lineman,
was on the fiat car and was knocked off
ahead of the train and was killed by
the force of the shock and the fall The
fireman was thrown from the tender,
where he was at work, and crushed to
death. His name has not been reported
here.
