For Better or for Worse

Seldom do those engaged in the work OF
marrying indulge in a pun during tire
ceremony however much they may b"
mpted by the names of the happy
couple, but Salt Lake justice of the
peace could not lose an opportunit
recently afforded him. In couple
presenting themselves the name of the
bridegroom was John Pill. When the
Justice reached that part of the ceremony
where the bride agrees to take the groom
for better or worse, instead of the usual
formula he said "Clara. do you take
this Pill?' to which the bride was heard
to respond, YES almost inaudibly. !,

Prevention of Accidents In Mines.

Austin Kirkup, in his prize essay on
1.-The Prevention of Accidents in Mines"
observes that there is no doubt that the
legislative enactments in connection with
mines have had a most beneficial effect
on the safe working of collierles. This is
the more obvious when we compare the
deaths from accidents in mines at the
present time with what they were twenty
five years ago. In the year 1868 the lives
lost were at the rate of one in every 343
persons employed and in 1893 the latest
statistics availableJ the ratio was one in
every go persons employed. This i'm
provement is due partly to the mining
legislation enacted since 1868, and partly
10 the improved safety appliances which
have been introduced during recent
years. But the death-rate from accidents
is still high. Mr.. Kirkup thinks that too
much attention has been given to prOvid-
ing lamp which will be safe in explo-
sive currents, which are seldom, if ever,
met with in mines, and too little atten-
zion has been given to the improvement
of the luminous power of the lamp,
which Is very important matter. We
certainly need more light in mines, but
with the present system OF oil safety
lamps any Improvement appears to be
impossible. If the electric light could be
com bined in portable form with gas
detector, the acme of success in the light
ing of mines will have been attained. It
Is for those who are interested in the safe
working of collieries to solve this prob

skeletons in the Kentucky Mount


Hunters have found in Harlan County,
KY, q lot of skeletons, guns and cart
ridges, and this is believed to throw
some light upon missing party OF SOL
diers belonging TO John Morgan's famous
command, which went into the mount
aims of Kentucky to cope with Union
bushwhackers. Several of these coun-
ties, including Bell, Letcber, Perry and
Harlan, were Union, and the Confeder-
ate sympathizers were faring badly at
the hands OF neighbors. There were a
number of bones and but two compare
lively complete skeletons. but the find
ers say there must have been as many
as six men in the party. Several guns
were found, beside some cartridge boxes,
on one OF which there still remains the
significant lettering, 18th KY, G. S. A."
These findings were taken to the Harlan
Courthouse, where an investigation will
be made tending toward the discovery
of the identity of the men. Some claim
to believe the men were the victims OF
some mountain feud and were hidden to
cover up the crime. They were found
in a cave some distance from the en-
| trance.-St Louis Globe-Democrat Cor

the place Of tho frcc-for-all race, but most
Of this class of horses have a race next
week aud with the strong probability that
the track would not be in good condition,
their owners did not care to join in the
scheme.
From financial stand point tho meet
ing has been unsuccessful. The cause for
this unfortunate condition of things is at
tributed wholly to the bad weather. TO
cover the deficiency thus resulting it is
hoped that the treasury will not be en-
trelN depleted, but on the contrary, that
a general sum will stil remain from the
balance on hand which was made up of the
savings OF former meetings.
The officers were all sorcly disappointed
in the sudden change, in the weather from
Friday. They prepared a programme, "a
shining part of which were large purses
for stable races, which attracted thithcr
the best horses to be found in New Eng
land and which would have added to rath-
or than diminished the associations sur
plus but for Old Prob. To Secretary D.
G. Brown of Brandon, who spent much
time and thought in arranging for the
meeting, belongs a deal of credit. The
greater part of the work naturally falls
upon the secretary and he did it graciously
and well.

Rutland, Sept. 1.-The Breeders meeting
ended inauspiCiously yesterday. Rain fell
during the most of the forenoon and the
track being new it collected lots of water
SO that owing to its bad condition the races
set for yesterday, and previously put by
ono day, were declared off. The executive
committee of the association was divided
on what to do and, not until after a hong
discussion, did the committee arrive at a
conclusion. The races, of course, could
have been started in the afternoon but
when the committed voted not to have
them yesterday it was not generally un-
derstood, among its members that the
rules Of the National TrOtting association
of which the Breeders association is a
member, prohibited the postponement of
races scheduled TO be held certain week
The only alternative then was to declare
them off and refund the entrance money.
The plan was to continue them until Mon
day afternoon. Monday being Labor dav
and Rutland being quite labor trade cen
tire, local people argued that the racing
would draw great crowd. Believing this
10 be so, number of the capitalists got
together after the association made its de-
cison and arranged a $1,000 purse to take
