A Polish Mill Laborer Had n Very Narrow
Escape From Death, Last Evening.
About six o'clock last evening a Pol
ish laborer at the Riverside mill, who is
known to his fellow workmen simply as

he stepped from one track to the next,
and was almost Immediately struck by
a train going in the opposite direction.
He was knocked several yards, and
when picked up was unconscious and
was bleeding profusely from bad cut
on his head. He was placed in a wagon

THE BOARD B. GGED OFF
From Assuming Control Of Roads
Within the City Limits.
A Conference Yesterday Between
the Committee on Roads and
Bridges of the Board Of Commits
sioners and the Board Of Public
Works-The Cause the Els and
Weimer Toll Payments.

1t will be remembered that at the last
session of Council the Committee on
Accounts recommended that the usual
credit be allowed on city taxes for tolls
paid by Messrs. Weimer and Els, who
live within the city limits, near the
western end of Fulton, and who are
compelled to drive into the city over
the National road, paying toll to the
county for that privilege. When the
question came up, resolution was
adopted asking the Board of Commits
sioners if they could not allow Messrs.
Weimer and Els to pass over the road
free of coll, the object of this being to
allow the city 10 retain their city taxes.
This resolution was referred by the
Board to the Committee on Roads and
Bruges, and yesterday that body held
a conference with the city Board OF
Public Works about the mao.er.
The Committee, representing the SEN
timent of the Board, were decidedly OPP
posed to renting the tolls in the cases
named, and pointed out to the Board
that the county has been keeping up
two roads within the city limits right
along, one such road being the National
road from Market and Seventh streets
TO the Fulton line, and another the
Pehnsular road, from the end of the
Baker street bridge to the Fulton bridge.
The Board offered to surrender both
these roads to the city as a means OF do
ing away with the tolls, but declined
TO pass the two gentlemen named free
under any other conditions.
Right here The Board of Public Works
entered plea of ignorance Of any com
plicity in the kick on the part OF the
city, and wanted it distinctly under
stood that they had nothing 20 do with
any action taken by Council. The
members of the Board said they didn't
want the roads put under their care,
and thought they were very much bet
ter taken care Of by the county, any
how, than they would be by the city,
for any city appropriations Of money
would have to be obtained through the
influence of one or more Councilman,
with the Finance Committee, and as
both roads are far removed from any
population, except along the hillside
from Seventh street north, no member
of Council would feel any particular in
Gerest in the matter.
The upsho- Of the whole matter will
be that the county Will continue to care
for the roads, Messrs. Weimer and Els
will continue to pay toll, and the city
wi. continue to refund the toll, as the
cheapest way cut Of the trouble. Las,
year me county spent about seven hun
dred dollars on these two roads, much
of this sum being for repairs 20 the big
wall on the pike, and the yearly aver
age is about three or four hundred dol
lars.

Teachers, Teachers, TEACHERS!

| There is no end of them.
The thousand or more educators
who, after attending the convention at
Denver, came on to Salt Lake to see
the beautiful city, breathe the pure air
and battle in the wonderful Dead Sea
of America" had a delightful time in
Zion yesterday. They swarmed in the
hotels and boarding houses, packed the
street cars and then went out en-
masse to the lake resorts.
Lack of time prevented any extensive
arrangements being made for enter
tanning the visitors, but the board of
education, city teachers and many pub
lic-spirited citizens exerted themselves
in plotting the visitors about. and
large number of them gathered at the
rooms of the board in the joint build
ing yesterday morning. After looking
through that fine structure they visited
the Lowell, Wasatch. Oquirrh and
other public school buildings, and were
loud in their praises of the structures,
which, in point of stability and ar
rangements, were pronounced as fine
as any to be found in the country.
The entire morning was spent in this
way. the University of Utah, the
warm springs and other points of in
terest in and about the city being
visited by the strangers.
In the afternoon the rush for the
lake began. There was an immense
attendance at Saltair, and the beau
tiful pavilion was an object of wonder
to all. Garfield, too, came in for its
share of patronage, and the visit to the
lake with dip in the brine was per-
haps the most pleasant feature of the
visit. The bathing was delightful and
it was no less amusing than interesting
TO see the teachers in the water and
hear their comments on it's buoyancy
and other peculiar qualities, the like of
which had never been seen by them
before.
Returning to the city, refreshed by
their outing, the majority Of the
teachers made preparations for re-
turning eastward, and a great number
went out on the Rio Grande Western
regular last evening, while many fol
lowed a little later on the special.
Another large party left last evening
for Yellowstone park over the Union
Pacific, and during the rest Of the
week, parties of teachers and others
will leave for the Yellowst que.
Mr.. c. E. Johnson, of the Northern
Pacific, is here working up these excur-
SONS ana mas Established Eea1Quer-
tiers at the Union Pacific.
Today quite a number OF the eduo&-
tors will journey on to Calif0cnla, but
many will remain in Salt Lake for
some weeks, their tickets being good
for return until September J.
A few scattering parties of teachers
came in from Denver over both roads
yesterday, and the arrivals will con-
tinue for some days.
The Utah delegates who attended the
Denver convention announced that it
was the biggest kind of a success.
The teachers were received with royal
hospitality and the people of Denver
outdid themselves in their efforts to
make the stay of the visitors pleasant
Next year the convention will be held
at San Francisco, and then a strong
effort will be made to secure the meet
ing for '97 for Salt Lake. All who
came here are delighted with the city
and hope to return.

perts who make a study Of the wool
markets and the conditions which sur
round them, the available wool supply Of
this territory at the present time is away
below the $4,000 pound limit. in fact just
about reaches that limit with the addi-
ton of 100000 pounds held at Cokey1ile,
IN the western part of the state of WyO-
ming, near the Utah line. The heaviest
single lot in the territory is that at Price,
where several clips have been amalga-
mated and reach a weight of about l00,-
O00 pounds. Most of the growers VINO
have not unloaded are holding out for an
advance in prices somewhat commensur-
ate with the quota tons fixed in Montana
and Idaho, where the staple has not this
year been any better than here in Utah,
although the prices paid have ranged
from cents to Ii cents, the majority OF
the sales being made at figures above IL
cents. Some of the dealers who have CAP
tured heavy lines in the north at high
western market, and their local agents
have received Instructions to trim their
sails in accordance with certain limit
considerably below that at which buys
were made some time ago This is not
on account of any bad reports received
from the east, fer these still continue to
give encouragement but rather on &C
count of a supply above contracts.
raging in the north for the past two
weeks is still on at Great Falls and
other Montana marketing points. One OF
the heaviest single sales was made on
Saturday with sealed bids, the purchaser
being Ludwig EiSemann and the amount
of wool involved half a million pounds.
The price paid was not made public, but
IN view of the fact that the sale was
made in direct competition and that a
large number of buyers who have re-
Gently paid as high as IA cents took part,
it is safe to say that the winning quota
ton was not less than l3 cents.

INSTRUCTIONS TO THE DEAF.
Supt. MetcaIf Returns From the
Convention in higan.

Superintendent T. w. Metcalf re-
turned yesterday from Michigan where
he went to attend the fourteenth
convention of American Instructors of
the Deaf. Nearly every state in the
Union and the Dominion of Canada
were represented. These conventions
have been held at intervals, usually of
four years, since 1850, yet without any
permanent organization. At this meet
ing a permanent organization was
effected and hereafter the associa ton
will meet triennially. In the distribu-
ton of offices Mr.. Metcalf was elected
chairman of the western committee
For many years there have been differ
ences of opinion as to the best methods
of educating the deaf. The pure
oralists lead by DIR. Alexander Graham
Bell have claimed that the pure oral
was the only true method while the
advocates of the combined or Imeri-
can system, headed by DR.. L. NJ. Gal
landet, have claimed as much for their
method. Both classes of teachers were
represented at this convention and all
Joined in unanimously adopting a con-
stitution which has for it's motto:
ANY method for good results. All
methods, and welded to none
