GROUND TO PIECES IN
WRECK ON The WESTERN
Engineer Henry KOnOld Intantly Killed Yesterday
in Salt Lake.
East Passenger Train Crashes Into an Open Switch With
Disastrous Results to Life and Property.

( corner of the mail car that followed
struck the corner of the factory and
the front end was torn from the car,
While the corner Of the building was
torn out as if il had been made of
paper.
The baggage car that came next suf-
fered most, and wrought the greatest
damage to the factory, only the cement
pillars at the corners next the tracks
preventing the whole end. of the build
ing from being carried away. AS it
was, the corner was torn out, the ma
chinery was thrown in every direc-
ton, the electric wires that enter the
building at that point were torn out
and a general wreck produced.
Besides engine No. 81, the wrecked
train was made up of the chair car
CaStella, the diner Ogden, coach No.
S07, baggage and express car No. 657
and the mail coach. The last two cars
were but little damaged. but the coach,
the baggage car and the mail car were
quite badly wrecked, the wheels and
trucks being twisted and wrenched in
every direction.
The hero of the wreck was Ernest
Johnson. the fireman on No. 81. He
remained at his post on his engine
through all the excitement and was
apparently as cool after the accident
as though nothing unusual had hap
pened. He never stirred from his cab
while the engine was making it's wild
dash over the ties around the cement
factory, and was at his post looking
after his engine all through the excit-
ing times that followed.
Fireman Johnson's Story.
I saw Engineer Konold climb down
from his cab to the deck of the engine

dld not hear him say anything. and I
ala not see what happened, as I was
on the other size of the engine: but
L am positive that when he jumped he
struck upon pile of rocks Just south
OF the cement factory and was thrown
back upon the train. We were run
ming at the rate of about twenty miles
an hour. We heard the signal from
the switch engine, but too late to give
us chance TO stop tefore striking the
switch.
If the engineer had remained upon.

right. He no doubt thought that we
were going to strike the building

was only his third trir on this run.

IRELAND FOREVER.
Irish Party Best Organized Since
Days of ParnelL

New York, Oct. 1.-THE Irish Ma
tionalists have returned to parliament
with undiminished strength says
the Tribune's London correspondent.
The Healyites We're defeated in the final
faction fight in id-Tipperary as they
have been throughout the canvass. Mr.
Healy, after challenging Mr. OBr1en to
a trial of strength. has been left alone
The United Irish league has triumphed
all along the line with Mr. O'Brien as
the chief organizer and paymaster. The
National party now consists of the
United Irish league with Redmond as its
leader and O'Brien as the master ma
chinist. Mr.. Healy is only a free lance
on the Irish side The Irish party is
now more compactly organized than it
has been since ParnelI held in the hollow
of his hand Neither the queens visit to
Dublin nor the glamor of a khaki cam
paign'' has served to divert the sym
pathies of the Irish people from their
own political cause. Faction feuds have
only forced them together in a closer and
firmer organization.
The UniOnist majority in the new
house of commons will be 1872. Before the
dissolution it was 12S and after the gen.
eral election of 1895 it was 152- Never be
fore in the history Of England has the
government been returned to power for
a second term with such a prepOnder-
ance of voting strength and not since
the passing of the first reform bill in
1892 until the present occasion has the
Conservative party been so successful at
the polls after appealing for a verdict

TO RACE IN AUGUST.
Details of Sir Thomas Lipton's Cup
Challenge Made Public.

New York, Oct. 1.-THE challenge Of
Sir Thomas Upton for the Americas
cup will be made public at the special
meeting of the New York Yacht club
tonight It calls for a race in August
The three previous international races
have not been sailed until late in Sep
TENDER or October and the defenders
were not launched until June.
E. A. Willard. who sailed the Vig1lant
when that yacht was used as a trial
boat against the Defender, said:
1--WE have got the hardest job ahead
of US we have ever had and we may as
well prepare for it. Sir Thomas Upton
is better prepared to lift that cup than
he was last year. He has the Shamrock
as a trial boat and we don't know how
good that yacht is. If her spars had
stood she would not have been beaten
by the Columbia so badly as she was
William Jameson, who is to look af
ter the Shamrock II is the best amateur
on the other side, and many think him
the best in the world for big boats, so
that the challenger will be we'll man
aged.
You can rest assured that if he has
agreed to sail on the Shamrock he has
good chance to win and he will do every
thing to make his chance good.
with him on board there will be no
weak spars and many other things that
were done on the Shamrock last year
will not be repeated.I think that the two
types of boats have been drawn so near
" together that the race will depend on
management"
S. Nicholas Kane of the New York
Yacht club, said at the meeting last
night a committee would be chosen who
win have charge of the series of races
called for by Sir Thomas. Mr.. Kane did
not think much more will be done than
this. It is said that number of yachts

generally have pretty shreWd ideas as to
who will be in the defending syndicates.
seem to be wholly at sea this year If
Mr.. Duryea has arranged a syndicate
that intends to build, he has certainly
kept his own counsel carefully as it is
certain that a number of his yachting
friends are wholly ignorant as to his
mans.

CREEPING NEARER HOME.
Telegraph Line Will Complete Long
Stratch hv Christmas.

Seattle, Wash. Oct. 17.-Advices from
Dawson state that steamers just in from
St. Michael bring word that the United
States telegraph system in the Yukon will
be completed from Nome to Tanana by
Christmas. The line from Dawson north
ward to Eagle on the American side, viii
be concluded a month hence.
Dawson and the outside world will be
connected inside of two months So by
Christmas the stretch between Eagle and
Tauana alone will remain to be built to
connect Nome with the world at large.
That stretch is 500 miles.
The United States government will dis
patch mail from Dawson to Tanana every
week this winter. This will bring Nome
materially nearer the outside world than
it was last winter.
The telegraph constructors of the
United states line are scattered along the
Yukon from Eagle to Uualto, at the point
of beginning of the overland cutoff to
Nome In numerous crews. One or more
crews were seen daily by steamers coming
