Once upon time the river which
tumbles past this city, was clear
mountain stream, the sporting place
of the native trout. Now it is mere
ly the tail race of placer mines fur
ther up the stream. Its waters are
thick with yellow mud. Laying
aside mere sentiment it is probable
that the income which would be de-
rived from visiting fishermen, if the
stream were restored to it's original
purity, would far exceed the placer
mines which pollute it. Gunnison
boasts of forty miles of fishing ground,
but the Arkansas would have much
longer stretch of fine fishing, in more
picturesque surroundings and better
facilities for reaching it.-Salida

FIBRE L1NDsTRoM,s FUNERAL.

Popular Motormon's Many Friends Ate
 test Their Esteem and Respect.
 The funeral of Pere Sure Lindstrom, the motorman of the Fair Haven and Westville Railroad company who was the victim of last Saturday nights ac- cident, was held at o'clock yesterday afternoon at the Swedish Lutheran church on St. John street.
 The services were conducted by Rev. A. J. Enstam. pastor of the church and personal friend of the deceased. Rev. Mr. Enstam delivered a most eloquent sermon. The services were very large ly attended, nearly one thousand per- sons, including nearly one hundred em- | ployes of the trolley company, viewing | the remains.
 Rev. MT. Enstam spoke feelingly, talk l ing his text from Samuel it., fifteenth chapter and twenty-first verse: "As the Lord liveth, and as my Lord the King l liveth, surely in what place my Lord the King shall be- whether for death or for life even there also will Thy ser want be-" The pastor stated that ir the midst of life we are in death. Some of us are in greater danger than others but danger hangs over all. We all hold irresponsible positions and some have | greater responsibilities than others The safety and the lives of many may depend upon us and upon our conduct and actions. Such was the case with Pere Lindstrom. He realized his re- sponsibility and stood at his post ot duty to the last. Behold his faithful Lness in the face of death. His work gave him no rest. He toiled seven days a week, but when his rest did come il was on the eve of a Sabbath, which was to he to him an eternal and blessed Sabbath.
 Rev. MT. Enstam's eulogy was deliv tered in Swedish and then in English The service was made especially i'm lpressive by the vocal renditions by two quartettes, one mixed quartette ant lthe other male organization.
 The pallbearers were motormen anC conductor associates, and were Ca Starter John Quinn. Motormen J. Kel lily, John Hogan and N. Simon, and Con ductors F. Priest and A. Beckwith. Tn employees of the Fair Haven and West ville road generously donated two larg floral tributes--one a large standing wreath of roses and carnations and tn other a standing anchor inscribet "Comrade.' A very beautiful flora Tyre was conspicuous among the trib utes.
 The interment was in the WestviIl cemetery.

ANOTHER MEETING
For the Labor Union Movement of Trol-
 lev Road Men,

For the Labor Union Movement of Trol-
 ley Road Men.
 The work of organizing the employees of the Fair Haven and Westville rail- road into a union which was begun some time ago and eliminated in the meeting held early yesterday morning is only the stepping stone, so it is said, to the accomplishment of greater things. It is stated that there are now over four hundred signatures to the list of members and as there are about 300 employees of the road it can be seen that the movement is one in which at least a majority of the men are interested.
 While nothing of any great importane developed last night yet it :s said that there will be another meeting of the men this afternoon or tonight when further arrangements will be made whereby the claims of the men will be formulated and presented to the com pany. The exact nature of these claims were not learned but it is said that one of them will be the reinstatement of the men so peremptorily discharged or a satisfactory explanation giving some plausible reason for their discharge. It has been hinted that the interests of some of the men so discharged will be subserved by a failure to demand their reinstatement.
 The organization effected yesterday morning is said to be an harmonious one and that it is the expectation of tn eleaders to have the signatures of all the men employed by the company before the end of the week.

CORONER uIx,s REPORT.
That on the Trolley Accident win he Announced TO-day.

Coroner Mix expected to finish his in quest in the trolley accident yesterday afternoon, but one of the witnesses who was expected to be at his office was not [ able to be present, and the last testi- mony will be taken this morning. The report will be submitted later in the morning and it is likely that it will be made public some time during the after noon.
 i Two witnesses were examined yester- i day afternoon. It was stated yesterday afternoon that there was a discussion between Morotman Smith and Conduc- tor Peterkin, of car 127, the cue that left the switch before the regular Bran ! ford car passed it, and that the motor man thought best to wait longer, but that the conductor thought it was all right to go ahead. The conductor pull ed the bell rope and minute afterWard the crash came.
 One of the people who figured in the accident stated yesterday afternoon that, as he recalled the signalling on the switch, the motorman on the second car did not signal with his arm, as was mentioned Monday, but that the motor man on the first car did. He said he distinctly saw the signal given by the motorman of the first special car that passed Peterkin's car. and that when the second car hove in sight there was no signal given. This would mean that there was no car coming back of it. Ii that is the case, bith Smith and Peter. kin seem to be exonerated.
 Motorman Smith, of the east-bounc car, stated yesterday morning agair that he received absolutely no sigma from the second conductor, which cor roborates the statement of the passen' ger, mentioned above who witnessed the signalling between the two conduc' tors.

some remote parts of Asia wrote a let- ter, which he dropped in the postoff1ce near him directed to "Mr. Barnum, America" The letter reached it's des- tination without an hours delay. The great snowman unaffectedly enjoyed be- ing know from the very beginning of his celebrity; and when he found his celebrity was tremendous factor in his success, he did everything that he could think of to extend the exploitat- ton of his name This was not to nour- ish vain imaginings or because he felt exalted; it was to promote business.
 Around his successive homes at Bridgeport, Conn, he was fond of putt ting something that suggested a show. Queerly marked cattle, the sacred cow, tor an elephant, were frequently among the stock to be noticed in his fields. On one occasion he had an elephant en- gagged in ploughing on the sloping hill
 where it could plainly be seen by the passengers on the New Haven and Hartford railroad, an agricultural in novation that he knew would get notice
 of some sort in every newspaper in the country It was even said that he re- eeived letters from farmers far and wide asking how much hay one ele- 4phant ate, and if ii. was more profitable at to plough with an elephant than with | horses or oxen. His replies were in 1 variably frank, and were of this pur-
 port: If you have large museum in
 New York, and great railroad sends trains full of passengers within eyeshot
 of the perforrnan> IS, it will pay, and
 pay we'll; but if you have no such insti- l tuition, then horses or oxen will prove | more economical.-Joel Benton, in The | Century. ;~. HE
