THOMPSON KILLED- Four Cars and An Engine Suffer Severely. MUTTON ON SHOUT NOTICE. The Yards at Springville the Scene of Excitement Early Sunday Morning. Accident due To Carelessness At an early hour last Sunday morning morn-ing a rear end collision took jihice in the Rio Grande Western yards at the foot of Jefferson Street in this City which was somewhat serious in iis results. A brakenian, one J. E Thompson, was killed, four freight and stock cars were wrecked, and fifty sheep became mutton in short order. The accident was undoubtedly due to a failure on the part of trainmen to place proper signals on a sect ion of a freight train left standing on the main line. At 3:50 a. ni. train No. 22, Conductor Conduct-or Ripley and Engineer Blanchard, pulled into the yards from the north and got stuck. No. 22 consisted of about a score of loaded stock cars and a large number of empties, and was pulled by a passenger engine. The conductor, to lighten the train presumably, pulled the empties out oi a siding, leaving the livestock (section on the main line. A TEI1MBLE CKASII. Before the switching was finished No. 18, Conductor Pierce in charge, entered the yards, also from the north, and a few moments later engine en-gine No. 33 was crashing into the stock cars, strewing death and destruction des-truction about. This portion of the stock train was loaded with fcbeep, owned by C. FI. Meens of Kansas City, and bound for Chicago. No. 35 telescoped the fi rt sheep car for about half its length, but strange to relate, did not kill a sheep, though a number were slightly hurt. The second car was thrown from the track, as also was the third. Tiie third cur was reduced to a mass of kindling wood, and upon it fell the wreck of the second. When the wreck was cleared away about 50 dead sheep were found beneath. The engine lost the pilot, smokestack, smoke-stack, headlight and other light fixtures fix-tures forward. The tender was pulled from its rear trucks and. a number of pipes were wrecked. The train pulled by No, 35 was a mixed freight, the car in rear of the tender being load with barrels of sugar. As the engine came to a stop in the midst of the stock car, the car of sugar became telescoped upon the tender. BUAKEMAN THOMPSON'S DEATn. At this moment Brakenian J. E. Thompson was in the act of climbing from the tender upon the ear, and was caught between the t,vo and thrust into the interior of the freight car a distance of about eight feet, where his head came in contact with a sharp piece of timber, killing him instantly. Ilia head on the right side was crushed, crush-ed, blood and brains being spiiitered about the ruined car. Two tiers of sugar barrels poured their contents over the track. Except tbe brakemanio one was injured. As soon as possible assistance was summoned and Thompson was taken from the wreck, and removed to the city hall, where his remains awaited the attention of the coroner. The work of clearing away the wreck was then proceeded with, and by sundown only heaps of ironwork and kindling wood remained. NO SIGNAL LIGHTS. Engineer Dickinson, asserts that there were indicate that, the main clear. A slight curve of No. 18, no lights to line was not in the track Just north of the yards would make it Impossible to determine the exact location of the standing cars by the headlight alone in the absence of any nignals. As soon as he discovered the cars In his front he reversed the en- "i Absolutely Pure OlPbrutcd for lis jovat luiivenluK slriMigth and hoall lifuIncsH.

The name of the deceased brake, man was learned from a meal ticket found in his pocket. His home was in Marlinsburg, l'a.. where he had a wile and family. An inquest was held Sunday evening, and the remains were taken to Salt Lake and forwarded forward-ed to Pennsylvania. The wreck was visited during the day by large numbers of people, drawn thither by curiosity and sympathy. Section crews from Provo and Maple-ton Maple-ton were called in and aided in the work of clearing away the debris. No estimate could be gotten of the amount of damages. ANOTHER WRECK. A Light Engine Colides Willi a Passenger Train. Another wreck occured in lh'; Rio Grande 'Western yards at 10 o'clock last night, but without serious results.. re-sults.. The wreck was about four blocks distant from the scene of Sunday's Sun-day's catastrophe. Just as passenger No. 4 was pulling out for the east, engine No. 51, a helper, was discovered discover-ed ahead coming down the grade. Both engineers reversed and put on the brakes, so that the speed was reduced, re-duced, but the locomotives c,me together to-gether with considerable violence. Itjth pilots were wrecked, the fronl plates broken and engine No. 41, which was pulling the passenger, was thrown off the track, the rear trucks only remaining on "the rails. Several car platforms were torn up and a baggage car badly pinched. Porter J. A. Shaw of a sleeper was thrown shoulder first against a plate glass window and quite: badly bruised. but' escaped cuts from the broken glass. Dr. J. A. Williams of Berkley, Cab. fell from his seat in a chair car and received a cut on the brow. The accident took place on a slight curve and had No. 51 been pulling a heavy train the loss of life would have been appalling. Just how 51 happenea along at this time canrmt be detlnitely stated. Division Di-vision Road Master Groverand Engineer Engi-neer Selgrath were soon on the scene and the locomotive replaced on the rails.

The so-called non-partisan meeting last evening was jughandled from open to close, like the handle of a jug it was all on one side of that out, side of the "rule of the people, by the people, for the people'' neither lie- publican nor Democrat. One de-ciple de-ciple of the faithful moved that the names of can lidates be announced from the stand, which was actually done, but in one instance only. The cloven hoof was too apparent. Now, I have witnessed American methods of self government in many States and Territories for the last half-century, and this is the first time I ever saw both political parties in one wigwam and all so addled that they nominated each other. If such a surrender of our national paladium is the only way to secure "good, men"' (?) then give us back the old Liberal part', when the patriot may hope for good Americans, if not good Mormons.

Dear Sir: I regret, this morning, after mature deliberation, that it is impossible for me to longer hold t he honorable position of Mayor-elect upon up-on your ticket . 1 was wailed upon by various committees from your party all day long, could not see my way Cleat to honorably accept the nomination nomina-tion if tendered me, ; nil lastiwening as late as 7 o'clock handed to your committee a letter, brielly stating my position. 1 am informed in-formed this morning that the letter was never presented, anil I was nominated against my written request re-quest and rather over-persuaded to accept which as you are aware. I did. Had the call been made by both parties par-ties I would not take this step, but it was made by a committee appointed by a Republican primary, w hich has come forcibly to my mind this morning. It was brought to bear upon my mind that there was 175 present aufi :i hirire. nercintaire Democrats. a.;)sA I' w understood i't! 1 found alter 1 sat down, my excitement somewhat some-what cooled off, there was about 120 and of that number perhaps 20 Dem ocrats taking part. Now i know that this will place me in a bad light by those who voted for me. hut when they understand my views on the matter, perhaps they will not judge me too harshly. I again thank you or the honor shown, and ask you to fill my place with some man that will be fully as satisfactory to your party is 1 was last evening. Verv resiicd full v yours. II. T. Reynolds. LETTER SENT TO MR. UOYLAXCK. W. M. Roylance, Ciiaii man Democratic Party. Dear Sir: J have just, handed the Citizens Committee a letter ot withdrawal with-drawal from the position of Mayor- elect upon their ticket, setting tortli in v reasons which are sufficient ones, I think, although I feci very much em- barrascd over my actions and expeci have to some extent lost confidence of Democratic friends, and if they feel when you explain my position that ui v place should be filled by some other party I will glaaly withdraw but will support the ticket I ncipea ui make. I took no part in the convention con-vention last, night, only my one little speech. Alter I sat down and my ex citement somewhat abatrd, 1 con cluded logo no farther at that time.
