TAKEN TO THE ASYLUM.
Two Unfortunates Examined an
Pronounced Insane.

Mrs. Carl M. Leverson, a native of
Denmark, who has resided in Utah for
the last twenty years, was examined
yesterday before Doctors Worthington
and Meacham as to the condition of her
mind, and pronounced insane. Mrs.
Leverson, who is 40 years of age, has
been living at Draper for some time,
and UP to two months ago, was as
sound mentally as anyone; but since
that time occasional fits of nelancholia
accompanied by permanent hallucina-
ton of death, have preyed upon her,
and as a result she is gloomy and de-
pressed most of her time. The unfor-
tunate woman is to be, taken to THE ter
rftorial asylum, at Provo, this morning.
Nils Ogenson, a sSwede of 20 years,
who was placed in the county Jail last
Monday to await an examination as to
his mental condition, was adjudged in
sane yesterday afternoon by Doctors
Worthington and Meacham, and will
leave for Provo this morning.
OgenSon has lived in Utah for over a
year, and although at one time was dis
charged from a Montana, asylum as be-
ing a sound man, he is a dangerous vic
tim of an impulsive mania.
The victim believes he is impelled by
evil spirits to commit bad deeds, and
is very dangerous, not only to himself
but to others

Salina, Oct. 24.-[Special. Exc
Thomas made political harangue here

the coming election was not so impor-
tant locally as nationally, as the Repub-
llcans in the east were anxious that
Utah should be in their political column
and the wishes of the east must be re-
spected..
He said the Democrats were a great
many years in discovering the tariff was
unconstitutional; they could not name
man of national reputation who had
declared it was. He thought none pres
e en- nag nad ever read what Hon. Thomas
NJ cooley, OF Michigan, had to saw upon
the subject. He then proceeded to in
terpret the constitution regarding the
matter. He then set up the calamity

statistics from New York and Massachu-
sets and endeavored to show that under

Ierred that such was the case in all

He told his Republican friends to ask
that has not become cheaper under the

for striking down reciprocity which had
proven so beneficial to America. 1t was
fond of referring to Thomas jefferson as
an ideal Democrat, but he too was

George Gould, the son and successor
of the late Jay Gould, left New York
city on Saturday last in his private
car Atlanta" and is now in southwest
Missouri, hunting and fishing. Mr.. j.

When the tour of inspection of the
Missouri Pacific by Mr.. Gould is fin

or two, looking over the local railway
situation.
Mr.. Gould is combining business and
pleasure on his trip. He is said to be
looking well and hearty after spending
a whole summer by the sea. His trip
abroad was taken at the advice of the
family physician. Since the death of
his father and for a long time prior
thereto, Mr.. Gould has applied himself
very closely to business, and the men

Within the next few days the San
Pete Valley railroad from Manti to the
coal mines, six miles away, will be
open for business.
The work would have been COM
pleted some time ago had it not been
for the fact that the delivery of ma
terial has been greatly delayed.
Thomas P. Lewis, Democratic candi-
date for sheriff, has the contract for
doing the work and has been on the
ground for several days. BY reason of
politics, Mr.. Lewis has decided to turn
the work of completion over to John
r. Stubs, not Populist Stubs, and in
pursuance of instructions received the
latter left for Manti yesterday. Mr..
Lewis will come to Salt Lake today.

monetization to the ignorance of the

were not sound on the question and
wound up by saying it was not an is

Randolph Tucker, a Democrat, was re-
sponsible for the EdmundS-Tucker act
He appealed to the Democrats and want

to vote according to their honest convic-
tons. He then Topped himself over onto
the bounty question. He believed In
Oounties and was convinced that the
people of Utah did also as their record
for forty years had proven. He referred
to the legislature of 1890 and said seven
teen staunch old Democrats in that body
voted for a bounty on sugar and now
those same stalwarts were denouncing
bounties as unjust. He said the Demo-

STEAM PIPE BURSTS.
Six Sailors Killed and Twenty Badly
Scalded on Board a French Cruz

Brest, Oct 25.-An explosion took
lplace today on board the French crui-
ser Arethuse, while her engines were
being tested, preparatory to sailing for
the east in order to reinforce the
French squadron in Chinese waters, if
such step should be necessary. Six
men were killed and twenty others were
badly scalded.
The first report of the disaster which
had reached the shore n1agnified it con-
siderably, and it was generally believed
one of the cruisers boilers had burst.
1t is now believed, however, the ex-
plosion was due to the bursting Of a
steam pipe.
The disaster caused great excitement
ashore and about the docks, and this
was increased when it was discovered
fire had broken out on board the
cruiser. The situation became such.
however, that her commander brought
her alongside one Of the docks here and
the flames had to be extinguished by
the crew reinforced by detachments OF
marines and sailors from the dock yard
before the wounded could be extricated.

In justice to Mr.. NJ. B. Brown, manager
of the Western Union Telegraph company
of this city, will you kindly correct the
statement published in your issue of this
morning in which it states that said in
my speech here last night that 1 had
sent several messages here that had never
been delivered. The reporter evidently mis-
understood me. 1t is a fact that owing
to want Of proper address, there was
