girls life. Her clothing was nearly
burned off and her hair badly singed
before the boy succeeded in extinguish-
ing the flames.
Rodney PETERSON, the S-year-old son
of Alfred PETERSON. was quite severely
injured while Maying in company with
his teacher and schoolmates Wednes-
day The little folks were amusing
themselves playing around the old grist
mill, and Rodney and some of the other
boys were on the upper floor. They had
gone out on a platform in front of the
door. when in some manner the little
fellow lost his balance and plunged
foremost to the ground. He was
unconscious when picked up, but the
efforts of his teacher and others soon
restored him. Aside from a bruised
head he is suffering no inconvenience
from the accident.
Edward Olsen was badly cut about
the head few days ago by some lum-
Der falling upon him. while he was en-
gagged in building a barn.

sauIt, alleged to have been committed
upon Minerva Olsen on the 10th of
January of this year.
The case has stirred up quite a

PENDANT is an old man II years of age,
and the complaining witness is wo-
man about 81 years old, who has been
a cripple all her life from paralysis of
the lower limbs.
Aside from the evidence of the girl,
there was nothing to connect the old
man with the alleged crime, and it was
conclusively shown at the trial that
he was in another part of town. some
four or five blocks from the home of
the girl, when the crime is alleged TO

A letter to Conductor G. L. Komer
from Delegate ]. A. Henly at Detroit,
states that the outlook for securing the
next biennial meet of the Order of
Railroad Conductors in Salt Lake in
1901, is very favorable. a number of
the delegates are strongly in favor of
choosing Salt Lake because of its sit
uation and natural advantages. Pitts
burg was in the race, but has now re-
tired in favor Of st. Paul. The latter
city is spending money freely among
the delegates and making a strong
fight Notwithstanding this, Mr.. Henly
is confident of success. but says he is
handicapped on account of lack of
cash.

DAVID MALCOLM DEAD.
Well-known Railroad Contractor
Passes AWAY.

Passes Away.
Especial Correspondence
Springville, May 13.-Advices from
Spanish Fork today tell of the death
of David Malcolm at an early hour this
morning. Mr. Malcolm was heavy
railroad contractor, and about three
weeks since he came in from the Medi-
cine Bow country very sick man. Mr..

Whether the American Smelling x
Refining company is going to advance
the price OF smelling charges in Utah,
as suggested in The Herald's special
dispatch from New York, has been the
subject of much discussion among ore
producers since the news was received
Manager T. r. Jones, who was seen
yesterday regarding the matter, said he
had read the dispatch and could not
make out what it meant.
Il have not received a copy of the
circular to which the telegram refers,
said he, land L have received no init
nation that smelling charges are to be
advanced"
Regarding the plants which the dis
patch said were to be among the first
to be CLOSED of all membranes, Mr.
Jones characterized this statement as
the garbled imagination of some indi-
Vidual who was anxious to make up a
story on something he knew absolutely
nothing about. Why" said he, all
the plants mentioned in that dispatch
are the property of the American
Smelling & Refining company, and
every one of them was purchased for
cash. There are no membranes upon
them of any description"
Further than this Mr.. Jones did not
care to discuss the matter
producers Opinion.
Discussing the situation yesterday. a
prominent ore-producer, who was
averse to having his name used, said:
why, of course, smelling charges will
not be raised; the management is too
smart to do anything like that L VIII
try and illustrate to you how the thing
will be worked-in fact, the way 1t is
being worked right now. Before the
formation of the trust we had several
smelling concerns all of which were
in the market for ores to keep their
plants in operation. As consequence.
the miner who appeared in the market
with a shipment of ore got the benefit
of the competition between the smelt-
ers, and was usually able to sell his
holdings at a fair price. Now, however,
he is at the mercy of one man-one
buyer-and when he appears in the
market he is told, We'll, we are over
stocked with that character of ore right
now. We have too much iron, lead,
silica, or other character of ore, now
in our bins, and the best we can do
for you is to give you so much for this
lot. And down goes the price, and you
either have to sell then and there or
see the expected profits of your ship
ment eaten up by storage and trackage
charges. In this manner 1 expect to
see the advance in smelling charges
worked out.
las an Illustration that the scheme
is now being worked, will tell you of
an incident which occurred the other
day. a man appeared in the market
with a lot of scrapiron, a commodity
which has been purchased by the
smelters heretofore at from SO to $11
a ton. This was offered for sale. and
as there was only one concern to buy it,
the man was offered IS a ton for it
What could he do but let ii go? What
could he have done if only So, Sc or 81
had been the price offered? Nothing
but sell it at the price arbitrarily made
by the one man in the market to buy.
so it will be with ores when the new
combine gets down to business. If
smelling charges are not advanced. the
same effect will be obtained through
purchasing at prices made by the
smelling combines management in
this state.'

defeated here, and also turned down
when carried to the Presbytery. Your

that he ''hotly resigned as deacon dur

signed at the beginning of the meeting
and the resignation was accepted. He
does not deny becoming hot" later on
in the meeting.
