Killed in a Railway Accident at tlie Dawn of Her Career, Telegraph Operator G. B. Kent sat in the Western Union office at Kansas City the other morning. The instrument before him ticked off its various messages, dis-playing in brief the world's daily history of joy, sorrow and labor. His fingers flew over the pages on which he recorded these bulletins of information so important to the recipients with trained and unfaltering speed. His attitude was attentive; his faco impassive. Ho was simply a telegraph operator engaged in the usual transaction of his routine duties. Suddenly, however, his pen dropped and his look changed to one of astonishment and horror." This is the telegram that caused his hand to grow nerveless and brought tears to his eyes: "Myrtle was killed in a railway accident at Staunton, Va early this morning." Mr. Kent called his chief, told him tho news and went home to convey the snd in-telligence to bis wife. The Myrtle referred to by the dispatch was his sister-in-law- , Myrtle Knox, a beautiful girl of 17 who, a few months ago, resigned her place as tele-graph operator at the Midland hotel, in Kansas City, to take a position in Rice's "Pearl of Pekin" Comic Opera company. MISS MYRTLE KKOX. The accident by which she lost hnr life oc-curred on the Chesapeake and Ohio rail-road. The train for Washington was de-scending a heavy grade, when the brake rod of the engine fell, and the air brake was rendered useless. The cars rushed into Staunton at a speed of eighty miles an hour. The sleeper in which was Miss Knox left the track and was thrown on its side. It caught fire, but the flames were extin-guished by citizens. Miss Knox's injuries were so severe t hat she died a few moments after being taken from tho ruins. Other members of the company escaped with life, but received such serious hurts that all dates wero canceled and the troupe dis-banded. The last letter written by Miss Knox was to a girl friend at Kansas City. In it was this terse bit of advice: "What-ever your inclinations may be, don't go on thestaee." WISPS One of nature's strange freaks may be seed at the farm of Jones Stanford, four miles north of Flora, Mo. It is a colt, not unlike other colts, except a mark iu its face. Begining on a lino with the lower part of the nostrels and to extending a point just below the eyes is a per-fect outline of a rattlesnake. Its mouth and eyes are perfectly formed. On its tail seven rattles aim a button may be distiuctly seen; and strange still, the outline of the snake is raised, being about as large as a lead pencil and not a hair on it. Thero is a lucrative opening for med-ical men in Iowa, not exactly as practi-tioners, however, says the A.cdital Record. Tho Iowa legislature, which adjourned about the middle of April, passed what is called the pharmacy bill, conferring upon physiciaus the right to dispense liquors, and placing upon them no restraint whatever. They do not need a permit, like the drngfusts, nor is there any supervision of i heir manner of prescribing in sales their make. There aro about 5,000 doctors in the state, and if this law is io remain in force the number of "docs" will soon be beyond computation. WAYLAID BX HIO HWAYM EN. , The Kperience a Number ot Citizens Underwent Lastnlglit. Footpads resumed operation lastnight and the nervo and cheek thoy display jumping upon the unwary and demand-ing their valuables is suprising. Col. J. Smith had an experience that he will not soon forget. About 11 o'clock ho was proceeding homo afoot and when at Seventh Soutli and Main streets, two men came from their hiding and dis-playing blunderbusses lirmly requested him to transfer his personal possessions to them. The Colonel having become expert in dodging bullets while dying and bleeding that his country might be saved, threw himself prone on the sidewalk upon the presentation of tho muzzlo of the shooting iron to his face, and as he did so the pistol was prematurely discharged. The ball did no harm, aud the hold-up- s becom-ing frightened, ran off empty-hande- At Sixth East and Sixth South a man by the name of Martin mot two high-waymen at 1 o'clock this morning. They went through him and secured a valuable watch. His money the thieves did not find, and as they were about to depart ho began negotiations with them. He offered them crisp $10 bill for the return of the timepiece, aud the transaction took place there and then. Shortly before 2 o'clock a fellow com-plained at police headquarters that he had been suspended in front of tho Progress block, and relieved of what spare change he had not already dolled out for whisky. As he was con-siderably under the influence of tho stuff, but little stock was taken iu his repsesentatious. TWO VETERAN'S. On the occasion of the ial announcement of (.ieneral William T. Sherman at West Point on tho 12th inst., the general said ho would first have to apologize for appearing in cili-ze- u's dress, "lint I tell you," said the general, "you will be glad to follow my example when you have served fifty years." ., ' Pew indeed know that iu Salt Lake thero lives, iu a quiet and unostenta-tious manner, a gcmUciiiau who, on the 29th of last November, recorded a service in' the army of tho United States. We refer to General V. K. Connor. His period of service ante-dates that of General Sherman by at least eight months. In tho war with Mexico both Sherman and Grant w ere second lieutenants, while Connor, who was then a captain,' ranked them iu lino of promotion aud command. The two former rose to the highest rank, but as a patriot General Conifbr is their equal. Geueral Connor was not a West Toiut man, but roso from the ranks. ' AMUSEMENTS. LOUD CUUMLEY. f'ln writing of a play," said an old dramatic critic in tho New York Tribune many years ago, "always study the audience as well us the actors. If the latter are pleased, learn what pleases them; if dissatisfied, discover the cause. Put your discoveries on paper and your criticism is complete. Always avoid eating lobsters and mince-pi- before entertainment.. You are likely to bo prejudiced if you adopt the opposite course." in following the precepts laid down in 'the above quotation there is but ono conclusion loarrive at and that is, that "Lord Chumley" in the hands of the present company is one of the greatest successes of this age of theatricals. To begin with the comedy itself is admirably writteu. The places of life depicted, w hile exaggerated are not so much overdrawn as to ap-pear ridiculous. Aud there is a pretty vein of sentiment running through the play; and a story of love that makes it pleasing, very much so. The individual characters are well represented. Sot hern as Chumley is well, he is immense. Tho role is of peculiar construction. While to out-ward appearances Chumley is a man of but little brains, weak and vapid, at heart he is a king among men. A diffi-cult part to assume, but Sothcrn tills it to perfection. There isn't a Haw in his work, and the hearty applause bestowed last night is sufficient proof of this state-ment, lie can sway an audience at will. Now with a choice bit of pathos he causes a hush to fall over the assembly, and in the next moment, with no effort whatever, he has them convulsed with laughter, only to chauge in an instant to silence again. A wonderful man in-deed is Si thern. Waller Craven as Gasper Le Sage, tho villinn for all plays have a villian is about as perfect as one would wish to see. His acting is superb aud tho best e of his success is that the audi-ence heartily despised him and on sev-eral occasions he was roundly hissed. When n crowd of people so far forget themselves as to imagine they are look-ing at a scene iu real life, it is, at least fair, to presume that the delineation is very accurate. Rowland Buckstone as Adam Butter-wort- h and Cyril Scott as Lieutenant Buttenvoi'lh his son, are two gentle-men of rare ability. Their work was of a very hitrh order. Tommy Tucker, a character de-picted by W. B. Royston, is especially good and the Winter bottom of Lully Marshall elegantly depicted. There is more in tho part than appears on the surface. Of course there are no recita-tions of Hamlet but there is consider-able work after all. Valentine's Blink Blunk was a very accurato representation of a common thief. Kitty Wilson iu Meg was funny. Kitty is a lively little bundle of sweet-ness aud she pleased the audience very much with her drollery. Miss Seltou tho Lady Adeline Barker, "Forty, fat and fair," is all she is repre-sented, except the "forty." And she is "clevah. deuced clevah,'"as Chumley would say himself. Maud Adams andCharlotte Tittelare well adapted to the parts they fill. On the whole Lord Chumley is one of the best comedy-drama- s for that is the propel term ever writteu. and never will a company be collected that can present it in any better manner than tho present one. Lord Chumley - was played to a crowded house at the matinee this af-ternoon. Highest Bid-der" will bo put oii A LONG LANE was produced at tho Salt Lake Theater last night to a small house. It will be played again this evening. This little drama is deserving of better support than it has received in this city. CROMWELL. Cromwell, who commences a week's engagement at the Grand opera house Monday next, has just completed a two week's season at the the Tabor opera house, Denver, where ho plaved to very large and fashionable audiences. His success was so great that at the conclusion of his second week he was tendered a brilliant testimonial by tho mayor aud other citizens. A RtlSSrAN LEGEND. Tb Russian peasants tell today A legend oM and dear to thein, How, when tie wine men went their way To and the babe at Bethlehem. They paused to let their camels rest Beside a peasant's lowly door; And all intent upon their quest They talked their snored errand o'er. "Coine with us," said the eager three; "Come seek with uo the Heavenly Child; What prouder honor can there Kor mortals, sinful and defiled? "And bid earn child iu Sunday clothes . Bring of his treasures tie most rare, Bundles of myrrh and whitest doves. With oiotment fur the Christ King's hair, ' "Who knows what blessing may befall If they but touch his garment's hem? And only once for t hem mid all Will Christ be born in Bethlehem!" "Alas! I have so much lo do," The mother ans ered with a sigh ; "I cannot journey now with you, But J will follow by and by." ' The wise men frowned aud rode away, Iearing the children all aglow, And pleading through that busy day, "When may we gof When may we go!" And while their cheeks flushed rosy red. They shouted in a chorus sweet, "And may we touch bis pretty head? And may we kiss his blessed feet?" But women still will bake and brew, No matter what sweet honors wait; And petty tasks they still must do, Though angels tarry at the gate! And when the frocks are sewn with lace, And tied with ribbons smart and trim; When each tear stained and tired face Was bathed and tied its bood within; "ft hen the small rooms were cleanly swept And chairs set pruuijr in a row. Betokening a house well kept; Then wearily she turned to go. 1 he sky was purpling in the west, Tho silent night was hurrying on; The three wlsemen had onward pressed, The star from out the east had gone! What could the fouliiih mother do? She turned her footsteps home again; And never, all her cad life through. Did she behold the thrco wise men. Alasl Through weak delaying, she ' Her sweetest privilege bad ralxscU; Nor did her children over seo The Holy Babe they might have kissed. -- May Ililey Smith, ARRIVALS AM) CLOSE OP MAILS.

These letters, written by a practical raining corrospondoat, aro attracting considerable attention. They are ap-preciated by the men interested in min-ing matters, and at the same time they convey to the outside world much im-portant information about the great miueral resources of Utah. Our min-ing 'correspondent, as previously stated, will visit every important mining eauip in Utah. We propose to boom tho mines of this territory ill every possible way, and iu a thorough and honest manner. It is a fact that tho development of tho mineral re-sources has hardly yet begun. The mountains all arotiud us are full of gold, silver and lead, but as yet com-paratively few mines have been opened, Those that are being operated are nearly all of wonderful richness, especially those of Park City, Bingham, Tintic, and American Fork. In this connection the enthusiasm prevailing in the Salt Lake Mining exchange is an encouraging sign.' There is uo doubt that the exchange, composed of leading business men, capitalists', and mining operators, will do much towards pro-moting the mining industry of this ter-ritory. . STOCK INCREASED TO 50,000. A Ouoruui Secured at The Day on the Heal Estate Exchange. The stockholders of the chamber of commerce, by a unanimous vote, last night decided lo increase the capital stock of the corporation from $.)0UI) to .)0,0(W. This is to bo divided into 500 shares of $100. This step was made nec-essary by tho increased assets of the chamber aud the constant applications for membership. THE HEAL ESTATE EXCHANGE. The real estate exchange met this morning with about twenty mem-bers present. Offers were made by II. C. Lett & Co. but found no buyers. iSchriner & Co. wanted a house in the eastern part of tho city but received no offers. At the special meeting of the exchange held last night several advertising pro-positions were considered but no deti-uit- e action taken. Tho amendment to the constitution introduced by Judge Colburii at the last meeting, that twelve members constitute a quorum, instead twenty-rive- , as at present, met with considerable opposition but was finally adopted.

For this tli bilted fowls received due honor, tt also through future ages, until the of the Csesars reached its end.

"" Congressman Butterworth is tall and stout, with white hair and close cropped whiskers. He is a man of amiable man-ners, and his blue eyes shiue with good humor. One of the jolliest of the members of the United States senate is Senator Wol-cot- t, of Colorado. He is short, thick set aud broad of beam. His fund of humor is well nigh inexhaustible. Mayor Job Male, of Plaintield, N. J., who is 80 years old, has an umbrella that he has carried for thirty-fiv- e years. It lias boon four times, though never lost or niiiJaid once. Carl Schurz has almost completely dropped out of life in New York. Oc-casionally he is seen in Wall street, and once in a while at tho theatre or publio dinner, but ho no longer mingles in the great whirl of the town. If there is any one thing in particular which Cyrus V. Field, the well known millionaire, detests it is the smell of to-bacco smoke. Cigars, and even pipes, he thinks bad enough, but the fumes of cigarettes he positively abhors. I.KAU ANO BT1.VEK. Among the influences which are pro-moting the prosperity of the eutiro west, there are none more potent than the recent appreciation in the prices of silver and lead, caused by the decision of cougress on the Mexican ore question and the anticipation of favorable silver legislation. Jt was simply an act of justice and a tardy one at that to givo to the lead producing states and territories tho same protection against the product of cheap labor in ore as is; afforded tho manufacturer who sells them all their supplies used in working the mines. If ever there was a more in-consistent, unequal or shameful ruling ou tho tariff question, than that of Sec-retary Sherman, which was afterwards sustained by Secretary Windom, we do not happon to know when it was. Iu that ruling all the arguments and theories of high tariff advocates have been disre-garded, aud the great treasury depart-ment of the United States hasleen used in unholy commerco by a gigantic trust. When it Is known that the most able and honorable members of the republican parly havo cither o blinded by its sophistries or cor-rupted by its money, the power of this great monopoly can, to a limited ex-tent, be understood. Whatever may bo tho action of the senate in its delibera-tions on the lead schedule, ono thing is certain, the party now controlling both branches of congress is on trial before the people on ono of its inost vital principles protection to home iudus-trios- . , Tho recent advances in the price of silver has awakened tho eutiro mining region from tho lethargy into which it was thrown' when ' tho white metal was degraded and dethroued from its proud estate as money and made a mere merchantable commodity,, aud tossed about like a shuttle-coc- at tho whim of the money changers of the cast. An advance of 25 per cent in tho price of silver and lead moans much to such camps as Leadyille.'Bingham, the San Juan region, and other districts where the ore is low grade. It means a fair margin of profit, while, ou the other hand, it would mean an absolute loss to work the mines. Tho advanco means that more mines will be worked and more men employed. A greater de-mand for miners means better wages foi them; it means more wealtii aud comfort tor the eutire people, whether engaged in mining, agriculture or trade. Congressman Bolfoid of Colorado, who is generally accredited with a great deal more than average shrewdness, was not guilty of a throat, when a few years ago on the floor of the house, ho exclaimed: "We of the west, have scarcely auy interest in a tariff except what little protection it gives our lead at that time thero was very little im-ported or our wool and those we can do without, but wc demand, uot alone in the name of Colorado and tho west, but of the whole peo-ple, the common people, the people who toil and spin ill the heat of the day, that you New Englanders do ua but the tardy justice of restoring silver to the proud position which it has occupied for centuries as the money of ths masses. If yon dou't do this, tho time will as surely come when tho people of the west, who have ooen smitten on one cheek, instead of turning the other, will retaliate and destroy the tariff on which you fellows have fattened for a quarter of a century at our expense." This mi not a threat, but! it was a prophetic warning, It pointed out the dangerous shoals to- j wards whiHi they were drifting, ll was au invocation to them lo at least j try and follow the precepts uiid itigs of the golden rule. 'ot uu Earthquake. Toledo, Ohio, Juno 14. It is now learned that what was taken to bo an earthquake at, 2:80 this .morning, was caused by the explosion of five tons of nitro-glycerin- e in the Casteiine com-pany's works near Findlay, Ohio, forty miles from here. The works were torn to slivers, and a hole plowed in the earth deep enough to take in a four-stor- y building. The buddings rocked, and much glass was broken in I'indlay. No lives were lost.

Edward Bellamy, author of "Looking Backward," says that he has not made the fortune out of his book which the newspapers have credited him with maki-ng- , M. Poltoranof has been authorized by the minister of the interior to edit a Rus-sian daily paper in Samarkand. It will be the first Russian organ to appear in central Asia. The opinion of the general public, as opposed to the few critics of W. D. Ilowells' works, is shown by the enor-mous sales of his books. His income is said to be very nearly $25,000 a year. The famous French author, Daudet, is in his 49th year. Though not wealthy, he has a modest fortune, and his house is a meeting place for delightful people. Personally the great novelist is extreme-ly attractive. Zola is one of the most extravagaut of men, and notwithstanding his princely income he is comparatively poor. The greater part of his fortune has been spent on his estate in Meadon, with its castle, park and pavilions.
