M. McCartney of the Union Pa-cific engineer corps arrived from tho east last night in Salt Lake. He was sitting in a red rocker in C. E. Dart's oilier at the U.

"The I'nion Pacific construction de-- j j partment has been wiped out entirely," said .Mr. McCartney. "The papers, boxes, luggage and property at the engineers' headquarters in the Deseret building in this city will be shipped east to Omaha. j "The I'uion Pacific will construct nothing this year, but hold ou to what it has.

Hill is the toughest one of the most elusive and one of the most incorrigible of the horde of incorrigible hosts that are contained within this place of Hill and a pal wero recently arrested by Captain Parker and Ser-geant Donovan as suspects. L'pou his person was found an assortment of keys skeleton and otherwise and upon conviction of carrying burglars tools he was lined $100, while his subtle and cunning confederate was lined $."i0 and costs. This was the pre-cious pair that was turned over to Sheriff Burt and with whom the vigil-ant turnkeys have found an incessant source of exasperating annoyance. Hill, alias Burt, was playing solitaire in his cell at 10 o'clock this morning when Jailer Burt had occasion to take ono of the birds from the rotary. Hill determined upon a little diversion at tho expense of the turnkey aud resolved to stop the rotary while it was re-volving. Seizing the rod he threw himself back with all his force. There wasa blood-curdlin- howl, a crash of hu-man bones and he was pinned between the rotary and tho cage. The rotary was reversed as quickly as possible and Hill fell to the iron Hoor unconscious. His arm was severely crushed and bro-ken and he was subsequently removed to the hospital to which medical aid was summoned. Captain Parker or-dered City Guard Burhridge to keep the injured man under survuilance un-til such a time as he has recovered suf-ficiently to enable the sheriff to receive him auain. rlualiiMss and rrofesslonal Men.

A GEIP THIEF IN CUBAN GL He Jumri the Train with a Drummer'i Samples-Th- ey 'Telephoned a Sensationt The evasive check fiends who hart been flooding the nnwary with counter-feit paper and who have managed to elude the ubiquitous sleuth for several weeks, were finally telescoped by Ser-geant Billy McCurdy at the CUft house last night, and now languish lnduranoe vi'e at eity jail. Ed. Haight, who was first spotted by the ollicer, was "in company with another suspicious looking wayfarer whose credentials Sjrgeant McCurdy thought it well enough to inspect, and both were marched dow n. Haight was held for having passed his latest check on the proprietors of the Gaiety. This morning he was identified by J. Thompson, the east side grocer, as the man who had imposed a fraudulent check for $18. He had entrapped Fred Fink of the Gaiety for $75, and at the time of his apprehension carried a check for $75, which he had undertaken to negotiate at the White House Club rooms. His pal was registered as Alva Huddleston, , the sergeant being wise enough to get the signa- ture in the p 'seiner's own It bears every resemblance and all the characteristics of those on tho checks he is held for forging, and this morning he was identified as the slippery genius who has been taking liberties with the signature of C.

"Yes," piped Captain Parker, "and you'll be out five times more. After that you won't have to come out for ten years." The examination will be held tomor row morning before Judge Laney.

A telephone message was sent into police headquarters this morning an-nouncing the discovery of a case of un-lawful cohabitation at the Metropoli-tan.

HE BEINGS THE GLAD HEWS That the Deep Creek Eoad will be Built when the Balmy Breezes Blow, Mr. James II. Bacon and wife re-turned from New York city this morn-ing and he was the recipient of many hearty congratulations upon his return. His coining has been anxiously awaited for the general public had become im-pressed with the belief that the fate of the Deep Creek railroad depended upon the result of his pilgrimage. He had scarcely reached his banking bouse this morning before he was vis-ited by scores of people who inquired earnestly as to the probable fate of Salt Lake city's pet railroad project. Among those who called was a reporter for The Times, who was cordially greeted by Mr. Bacon, and who imme-diately propounded the following in-quiry: "Mr. Bacon, there is an impression around that you went east upon busi-ness connected with the DeeD Creek railroad. Is that so?" Mr. Bacon replied: "lam informed that there is an understanding in the city that my trip to the east was in the inlarest of the Deep Creek railroad; tho understanding was correct, fori visited the east, to perfect, as far as possible, certain preliminary plans, in counec-wit-tho road." "When will the work of construction begin?" was asked. "1 am doing all that can he done to hasten the time when the active work of construction shall begin. Undoubt-edly the public recognizes the fact, that in order to build a railroad the length of the one contemplated, a vast amount of work must be done. The work is not confined to the mere matter of grading, laying ties and rails, aud con-tracting for material, but before the active operations are commenced there is much more to do than any one not conversant with railroad building can imagine. The man who builds a.m a house, although he may have his own architect, and let the work by contract, finds before it is completed that he has personally a great deal of work to do. and the building of a railroad is corre-spondingly greater. "Have you met with any obstacles with regard to your railroad project?" "In the construction of the Deep Creek railroad, myself and associates have met with difficulties which no man could have foreseen, and which some have feared would prove insurmounta-ble. In the early fall no person imag-ined that the whole financial world, before the first of January, would be upon the verge of a panic, in'which every man's purse strings would be tightened, that condition, however ,has existed and I have been compelled to meet it. I am pleased to say that a much better feeling exists among finan-ciers, and that confidence has been re-stored in a great measure since the first of January." "Did you accomplish what you hoped to as the result of your trip?" "1 am thoroughly satisfied with the results of my trip, and am inclined to predict that I shall be able to demon-strate within the time limited by the franchise granted by the city, that the Deep Creek railroad is 'a condition and not a theory.' " "Do you desire any more aid from the citizens of Salt Lake city than has already been " given." J he road will be of such great value to Salt Lake city and Utah, that I think I am justified in presuming that all of our citizens will aid me in tho prosecution of the work, by giving their moral support to the enterprise if they can do no more." "Can The Times announce as a set-tled fact that the railroad will be built." "I think it is sufficient for me to say that I entered upon the project to build tho Deep Creek railroad in good faith, aud that even tno most ungenerous critics of tho enterprise will bo con-vinced by spring time, that Salt Lake is to have its long sought railroad to the west." 1 RIGBTW REBDKE.

A HIO H( lU'KISE, Ft General Manager Kaanegul and Wire KeralTa t'tiatly Preaanta. Last night was a happy one for Manager Kesscguie, formerly of the mountain division of the Union Pacific. Over twenty former fellow workers and employes captured his res-idence on Last Second South street and gave him a royal surprise. Assistant Solicitor P. L. Williams made a speech, and then handed Mr. Kesseguie a case which contained a tine gold watch, chain and charm. The re-cipient responded in words of thank-fulness to the donors. Mrs. Kesseguie was presented a magnificent ouyx clock, Mr. Williams making the speech, He also handed the lady a handsome breastpin. She responded and thanked the company for their thoughtfulness- The affair was most pleasant. NO SAFETY LAMPS. When Sir Humphrey Davy invented his miner's lamp he did not provide against the folly of every idiot .who per-sists in lighting his pipe in a shaft whether from a lamp or a match. Most of of the mine accidents result from the carelessness of the miners themselves, and the worst off it is that it is not al-ways the reckless poaple who suffer. One man may cause the death of 101). Detroit Free Press. Because no fire damp or gas of any kind had ever been noticed in the Mam-moth mine the miners neglected to use safety lamps which were provided by the mining company. The result of this little bit of carelessness was an ex-plosion which killed nearly l."0 men. This terrible disaster is merely one more warning of the dangers of neg-lecting proper precautions at all times. St. Louis The miners, not fearing fire damp, used the common coal digger's lamp instead of tho one which is protected and thus prevented from igniting the gas in the mine. Here seems to be a case of neglect on the part of tho mine authorities. They should have known of the presenco of fire damp before the men went down into what was to be their tomb. Brooklyn Uuion. The surest possible way to find out whealher there is gas in a mine is to send a few hundred men with open lamps into it. If the gas is there it will lind the lamps every time. It may not be soeaay to find the men afterward. There have been so many mine disas tors caused by open lamps that it is surprising 'miners will continue to use them. Buffalo Express. The statute books are burdened with laws to enforce greater carefulness, and the ingeauity of inventors is put to its utmost test to provide better means of of precaution, out neither law norsafety appliance can prevail in the face of the thoiighlessness which characterizes the cheap imported labor common in so many mines. Troy Times. The legislature and mining engineers have for years endeavored to prevent explosions, but so long as that enemy of the miner, the open lamp, is per-mitted to be used there will be danger of a recurrence of yesterday's terrible calamity. Philadelphia Call. No safety lamps were used in the Penusylvauia mine that on Tuesday blew 100 human souls into eternity. The new tariff bill drafted to please Pennsylvania interests does not seem to protect the miners. Cincinnati En-quirer. It appears that the terrible mine ex-plosion at Scottdale, Pa., occurred be-cause safety lamps were not used. Somebody's" theory that the mine was not liable to "lire damp" cost nearly a hundred lives. St. Louis Republic. This will take rank with one of the worst mining disasters of recent years. Every conceivable precaution should he taken to prevent the recurrence of such wholesale slaughter. Brooklyn Eagle. The naked miner's lamp is making good its title to be considered an agent of whnlesole destruction not second even to the deadly car stove or the fire-tra- p tenement house. Pittsburg Dis-patch.

Our country was first visited by ballet in 1827. and all women in tho au-dience of the old Bowery theater rose in outraged modesty and dignity and left this then, most fashionable place of divertisement. Suc,h men as were not in fear of wifely reproaches, or perhaps we should say, those men who were suffi-ciently courageous to face frowning wives and sweethearts remained to look with delight upon gauzy s for all their billets of admission al-lowed. That was sixty-fou- r years ago. Today Miss Leotine Morgan of Boston, think of that, of Boston, is to be a pre-mier danseuse at the Metropolitan Op-era house.

It de-- i monstrates the fact that not only has a ' new era and a new volume of activity possessed itself of tho material interests of the territory in general but of min-ing in particular. But few enterprises ol this character are required to sub-- I stautiate all that has been contended that Utah is capable of leading theen- - tire world in its production of the prec-- ious metals. All the mineral producing countries have been through a period w herein the mines were worked on a desultory and indifferent scale and now that massive machinery is taking the place of the old. the present season may be looked forward to for unprecedented results.

Boston Record. It would no be very surprising should the report prove true that Robert Ray Hamilton is still alive.

And now they tell us that Robert Hav Hamilton is still alive; that he doctored up another fellow's remains and tied to Alaska or Australia while his friends and confederates did the rest.
