His Message to Legislature.
The wife's death in 1850 was blow from
which he never fully recovered. He de-
cllned the office of United States Senator,
to which he had been elected. He wrote the
legislature in 1873, while serving as govern
or when he was sixty-three years old:
II now find myself so far advanced in life
that it will be expedient for me at the close
of the session to retire from the cares and
fatigues of public business" etc. He car
ried out his plan and lived quietly in Kings
ton until his death In 1875.
Some of his state papers. proclamations
for thanksgiving, for fast day, etc, are
models of literary merit, and his character
and attitude during the war can best be
given in his own words to a friend, May 10,
1776: Use your best endeavors to keep up
the spirit of the people, for our all Is at
stake-life, liberty and fortune. We have
nothing to hope for If conquered and our
misfortunes in the war ought to animate US
the more to diligence frmness and resolu-
ton. To conquer Is better than life; to be
subdued. Infinitely worse than death.
The lucky Washington chapter which has
fallen heir to this goodly heritage, has been
known as the Mary Danforth,' but in
honor of the donor an ancestor OF the re-
gent, Mrs. Bell Merrill Draper, IT has been
renamed the Mary Bartlett Chapter.

TALLOW ON THE RAILS.
Practical Joke Nearly Causes Serious
Accident on Car Line.


OGDEN, Sept. 1.-THE Twenty-second
street car line OF the Rapid Transit com
pany had Its rails CREASED with tallow at
1880 o'clock tonight and the car could
not ascend the hill. Several efforts were
made TO try TO get up. but the car had
TO back down TO Washington avenue and
wait for the following car. In the
meantime the tallow had been removed
from the rails by the passengers and sand
had been placed on the tracks and the
cars were able TO ascend the hill
Prior to the attempted ascension of
the first car car had come down the
hill and a catastrophe was narrowly
averted The Washington avenue car
from the north was nearly at the Inter-
section Of the junction with Twenty sec
ond street. The tallow on the rails made
1t impossible for the Twenty-second
street car TO be held, 1t sided into
Washington avenue at terrific rate and
the accident that was expected was just
ayerted. Had the Washington avenue
car advanced ten feet farther there
would have been serious injuries and
perhaps deaths to report.

NOT YET IDENTIFIED
Little Progress Being Made In Investi
cation at 1,aytOu

SdUlOH aU Lay COu,
Investigation as to the identity and
manner OF death of the man who was
found dead at the side OF the Oregon
Short Limo track near Layton is still
under way. though few facts OF i'm
portancc have as yet been brought to
light.
The opinion that the dead man was a
travelling salesman named J, l.. Hamlin
is found to have been wrong. as the WE'LL
known description of Hamlln does not
tally with the body now In the hands Of
the Layton Coroner, 1t has likewise been
determined beyond question that the
body is no, that of a member OF the
Naylor family of Salt Lake. Several
members OF the family went to Layton
Friday to view tho remains, and, if
possible, identify them.
Under the circumstances there seems
10 be nothing TO do but await the result
OF the Coroners investigation. Whether
even that Will result in any developments
Of real value Is, at this time, problemati-
cal, IT may be that the world will never
know who the man was or how he came
TO his death.
Reports Indicate that IT will be at
least several days before the Layton au-
thorities conclude their Investigation.
