SHOCKING DEATH.
Man Smothered to Death by Char
coal Fumes in a Boiler.

New York, Jan. 29.-John Connors, 80
years old, met a shocking death yes
terday on the steamship Eastern
Prince, of the Knott line, lying at the
east central pier, Atlantic dock. Brook
lyn. The vessel arrived last Tuesday
from Brazil with her boilers strained
from the effects of the storm. Con-
nors, who was in the employ of the
Mott Iron works, in South Brooklyn,
was sent with several other employees
to make necessary repairs to the in
terror of one of the boilers. Before be-
ginning operations, the men lowered
into the boiler a charcoal furnace, with
which the iron work was to be heated.
Connors climbed through the manhole,
the only means by which an entrance
to the boiler could be gained, and was
lowered to the bottom at IL o'clock
When the factory whistle announced
the noon hour, one of the workmen
climbed to the top of the boiler and
shouted to ConnorS. There was no re-
ply. A workman was lowered into the
boiler and Connors was found lying
dead across the furnace. The rescuer
dragged him from the furnace and beat
out the flames. Then the boiler was so
full of charcoal fumes that he had to
seek the open air. The upper part of
the mans body was burned to a crisp.
He evidently had been overcome by
the charcoal fumes and had fallen on
the furnace.
The task of removing the body from
the boiler was difficult. A derrick was
rugged and the men worked two hours
before they succeeded. Several were
partly overcome by the fumes of char
coal and had to be lifted from the
boiler.

THE EXTRA SESSION.
DINGLEY GIVES HIS VIEWS
ABOUT IT.
House Will Pass Tariff Bill and
Then Adjourn From Day to Day
Until It Is Passed by the Senate.

New York, Jan. pa Times special
from Washington says:
Chairman Dingley of the ways and
means committee, outlining yesterday
the programme of the administration
at the extra session OF congress. said:
There will be no legislation during
the extra session. President McKin-
ley will call congress in extraordinary
session for the specific purpose of
passing revenue bill. When we meet
in March, the bill will be ready TO pre-
sent to the house, and it will be
passed within 80 days and sent to the
senate. Nothing else will be done by
the house. We will adjourn from day
to day, or take three days adjourn
ment, according to the provision Of
the constitution.
THE eyes of the country will be on
the senate alone. The house will not
consider pension bills nor enter into
any general legislation. We will sim
ply remain nominally in session until
the senate reaches q conclusion on the
revenue bill. and then the measure
will be perfected in a manner to suit
both houses. / do not believe that the
senate will force a long session when
nothing is under consideration except
the tariff bill"
The sugar trust lobby is on the
ground, headed by Searles, its legisla-
tive representative. The ways and
means committee has got down to the
sugar schedule in a provisional, pre-
liminary way, and the sugar interests
appear promptly on the scene.

Union Stock Yards, Jan. 29.-The en-
tire weeks receipts of cattle will foot up
only 42,5OO head, against 47.675 for the
corresponding week a year ago, but
their habitat condition prevented sell
leFs from obtaining any advance. The
few lots of really choice cornfed were
readily disposed of at as good prices as
have been paid for some time past,
but medium grades showed consider
able weakness. There was an .Lverage
Friday supply today. The demand was
good, as is usual during the latter part
of the week, and prices were steady.
Owing to the intensely cold weather,
this weeks receipts of hogs have
showed a large falling off as compared
with recent weeks. There was not the
slightest Improvement in PRICES, how
ever, and much of the time values
were heavy with little outside COMPETE
ton, as the cold weather prevented
eastern shippers from operating freely
on several days. Today'S arrivals were
$4,000 mead against nearly $4,000 last
Friday. Prices ruled firm under the
influence of a good demand. The
weeks receipts of sheep Will aggregate
about $1,000 head or nearly the same
as year ago, and trade has been
fairly active at little lower average
prices. The market was steady today.

New Years and the slow progress looks

have been taking large ventures in ad-

business, because they expected a rise
in prices. But prices fail as yet to
bring them profit. During the week

IN RAILWAY CIRCLES.
Bamberger Denies That the Southern
Pacific Is Interested in His Road.

There has been a suspicion that the
contemplated extension of the Salt
Lake and Ogden railway from Farm
ington to Ogden would be nothing less
than an extension of the Southern
Pacific system. Manager Simon Bam-
berger who has just returned from a
trip east denies that the Huntington
people are in any way interested in
the extension. There is every proba-
bility the line will be completed to Og-
den during the coming summer, but
Mr. Bamberger says it will be indie
pendent of any other company or road
and will be constructed for local pas
Senger business.
The distance from Pennington to
Ogden is about 20 miles and the cost of
extending the road to that city will
probably involve an expenditure of
something over 100000. The present
steam motors will be supplanted by
electricity and as previously stated the
object of the road will be to absorb
the passenger traffic between Utah's
leading cities.
Despite Mr.. Bamberger's statement

A JOINT DEBATE.
James A. Garfield Lyceum Defeats
the Collegiate Literary Club.

the Collegiate Literary Club.
Last evening-in the lecture room Of
the First congregational church, the
James A. Garfield Lyceum and the Col
legiate Literary club met in joint de-
bate, and the James A. Garfield Ly-
ceum was victorious, receiving all three
votes of the judges.
At about S:15 the meeting was called
to order by President Robert n. Young
of the Garfield Lyceum. He made a
short address of welcome, turning the
Craftsmanship of the meeting over to
Miss Mary Jensen of the Collegiate
club, who responded in neat speech.
The first number on the programme
was a piano solo by Miss Ethel Lane
of the Institute, after which the de-
bate was announced, the question be-
ing, Resolved, That the President
Should Be Elected Directly by the
Qualified Voters" AS the Garfield Ly-
ceum had the affirmative, Will McCrea
of the society took the floor in support
of his side. He presented an able dis
cussion of the question, and was fol-
lowed by John Hoffman of the Col
legiate society who, in a capable effort,
presented the negative side. The fol-
lowing spoke next in support of their
respective sides: Jacob Coleman. af
firmative; Carl Hauerbach. negative;
George Snow Gibbs affirmative; Don
Johnson, negative. Then the leaders
summed up the points of their sides,
and during the time intervening, in
which the judges retired to compare
notes, a piano duet was rendered by
Misses Louise Johnson ard Sadie Nc
Chrystal, and a defamation by Frank
Colburn, which was heartily encored.
The decision of the judges, who were
Ex-Governor Thomas, Mr. E. c. Mer-
rill and Professor Marshall, closed the
programme.
A large crowd was present and all
pronounced the debate a most enjoy
able event. and many and hearty were
the concentrations on both sides. On
Thursday evening, Feb. II. the Gar
field Lvceum holds its third oratorical
contest, which promises to eclipse any
previous effort of the Lyceum in this
line of work. Also on Sunday evening,
Feb. u, the Lyceum will hold patriotic
exercises in honor of Washington's
birthday All these events will take
place in the First Congregational
church. to which all are cordially in
yited to attend.
