George Atkins, a yonm man of about years of age, of Salt Lake City, met with a horrible n"ci lent on the 19th. Atkins was employed at the Langton lime quarry, about half a mile north 01 tho Hot Springs. When the accident occurred he wirs working in the quarry on a blast. Atkins was engaged in "springing" the hole, and had put in shout a quart of black powder, when suddenly the charge exploded with frightful result. At the time of the explosion Atkins was leaning over the hole and the charge caught him in the face, knocking him several feet from the spot. His right eye was blown completely out of his head, his jawbone shattered, nil his teeth torn out, and the right side of his face, what there was left of it. was horribly burned. The left side, of his face was bruised, but otherwise is not injured. It seems that the cause of the explosion was that at the time Atkins was charging the hole, he was smoking a cigarette, and one of the sparks from it probably ignited the powder. er.

I'roiu stanjxiir.t it was a gorgeous affair, a tit commemoration of the entrance into the valley fifty year previous of that sturdy band of Pioneers, the advance guard of western civilization. For the occasion Salt Lake was handsomely decorated. Solouianin all his glory was hardly more gorgeously arrayed. Everything was wrapped in Jubilee colors of red, green and gold, while Main street was a network of incandescent light, makinga brilliant scene by night. It was not distinctively a Utah affair, for it was participated in by residents of four states Ptah, Idaho, Wyoming and Colorado deseendelits of pioneers or of those w ho followed within the next few years and helped and reclaim the mocking subdue waste, and who felt and were, in fact, an inseparable part of that noble band in w hose honor the jubilee w as held. It was a Pioneer Jubilee, nnconfincd by imaginary boundary lines, unclaimed by the residents of any section. It belonged to the people, and royally they enjoyed it. The grcatai r.ty of floats were, gorgeous, and as seen by night were dazzling in their splendor. Their preparation occupied months of time and entailed an enormous expense. Pictoral history was writtiiiias it- never before has been in the region, interscrsed with fiction fanciful conceptions of a pleasing nature. Enumeration would be tedious, and a description impossible. Their lesson has been impressed upon thousands, however, and the .stories they told will-nosoon be forgotten. A pathetic illustration vas the hand cart companies, whose ranks were decimated by death while on tho hazardous journey across the great desert. Words can not describe the hardships endured, yet the appearance of the handcarts, bearing their human bur-depushed and pulled by w eary, footsore pilgrims, dejected, surrounded by air of sadness, brought tears to many a young eye. which oft recounted stories of the hardships had failed to impress.
