Coal Train Wrecked.

A coal train on the Moffat road
was wrecked just east of the
brick yards about Z o'clock Sat-
urday morning and traffic on the
line was tied up until about 1880
that evening. 1t was quite a SER
ious wreck from a financial stand
point, but fortunatly no one was
injured. The wreck was caused
by a brakebeam dropping down
causing eight loaded cars of coal
to buckle. Seven cars were left
about the same position of a stake
and ridered fence and at one
point the tramway tracks were
pushed over about five or six
feet out of line. The engine and
several cars remained on the
track and dragged the foremost
wrecked car a distance of 200
yards with the rear end gouging
into the embankment of the
tramway, before the engine
was stopped. The caboose and
eight or ten cars remained on the
track, the caboose stopping just
east of the wagon crossing at the
brick plant. The smashup at
tracted quite a few spectators,
The Leyden car was marooned
on the west end of the road and
passengers were transferred un-
til the tracks could be put back
in position. Quite a number of
men from Arvada were taken to
assist in cleaning up the wreck.

London, June 13.---Drunkenness

centuries, remarked the archbishop

In the older literature they found

dental way, and they wanted the
thing investigated as to what that
exactly meant. -
Mention was made in another book
of the special action taken to cen.
sure and punish parish clerks for be-
ing drunk during divine service. They
had in that a curious picture OF the
way in which the thing was being re-
garded.
Why was that? Was 1t that the
drink did not produce so much drunk
enness as 1t did today? Was 1t that
the more active life, the more riding
on horseback, counteracted it? Was
is that the mischief arising from the
actual drunkenness was not realiz'

RESPECTS TO THE FLY

1t is said that the fly serves no
good purpose. 1t is mistake. He
performs two very good services. He
teaches the teachable to clean up
and keep clean, and he kills off the
others. That is, he assiduously works
to cause a survival of the fittest. Let
us give the devil his due. While we
give him credit for that much good,
let us be among the teachable. II
we have private stable, let us see
that the refuse is haulel each week,
and daily If large one or a public
one. Let us see that the ground
around and under the refuse boz; Is
saturated with crude oil or strong dis
infectants, as the fly maggots, 1t Is
found, crawl through the refuse INTO
the ground if there is any possible
way to get there. Here they stay I'M
til they come out full fledged flies.
They will not 60 into earth satur-
ated with oil, however, and 1t would
be necessary. to use the oil but
once year. 'f''ses~-s
While you honor the fly for killing
off the unit, see that he does not get
you into the wrong class.

A REAL DISTINCTION

Salt Lake owned yesterday a dis
tinction probably enjoyed by no other
city In the United States, whatever
its area, population, or commercial
importance. 1t is given to but few
communities to entertain three cir
cuses on the same day, and especial
ly In this western country where we
allot our amusements with better dis
elimination. 2 81
With two Democratic conventions,
and the Sells Floto shows, Utah's
capital doubtless never before was Of.
fered such a diversity of entertain
ment. And while the efforts of the
amusement purveyors ct the show
grounds should not be discounted
they could not hope to rival the up.
town performances. \
In point Of enduring effect, they
were much of a piece. Today we
have forgotten the jokes OF the clown
and the shrieks OF the dik.dik and by
tomorrow the other circus effects viii
