General Passenger Agent Lee of the Colorado Midland has made a trip to San Francisco, and in an interview says: "1 found the people of San Fran-cisco with very favorable feelings to-ward this section of tho country. Thoy arc anxious for the completion of the Midland-lii- Grande road, thus giving them through trains to the coast from Denver without transfer. You sco wo aro building a broad gauge from Lead-vill- o io Grand Junction. Our connec-tion at the latter place is th Kio Grande Western to Ojulcu, and from there wo connect with tho Southern Pacific. Wo shall run thiough sleepers from Den-ver to Sau Francisco without change of cars. "Wo shall run solid Midland trains from Denver to Ogden. Through freights-- , will bo run from Denver to Ogden, simply changing engines, ca-booses and crews ns soon as wo reach tho Kio Grande Western at Grand Junction. The people of California are very anxious for tho completion of this line, as it will cause a great (leal of re-ciprocity in trade, which does not now exist owing to tlio necessity of transfer and other reasons. They have an ex-ceptionally largo fruit crop in Oalifor nia this season. "Will your new lino canso any addi-tional travel through Denver to the coast?" ' "Yes, we anticipate a largely in-creased tourist travel. You sec, a per-son can como through from tlio far east on a sleeper. Hero he can get iu a clean oar and go right on through to the coast and pass through some of the grandest scenery of the Kooky Moun-tain region." "When will tho lino bo completed" "If everything goes as expected, the line ought to bo completed ready for operation at the end of eight days." The Rio (Jramto ,1 unction, XV, E. Pittman, foreman of bridge construction on tho Itio Grande Junc-tion road, in an interview in tho Grand Junction Star, says that during last week fifty car loads of lies were receiv-ed, making about 10,000, or one-fift- of fho number necessary to finish the road into Grand Junction. Tho remaining 40,001) will nrrivc almost as fast as they can be laid down, and he does not think there will bo any very great delay in tho work of construction. There' has been, Mr. Pittman says, a shortage of steel, but nothing to cause any serious stoppage of labor. ' All tho rails needed to complete tlio road aro now loaded on the cars ready for transportation, ant' will arriyo in ample season. There has been no discharge of laborers to amount to anything, On tho contrary, the con-tractors are actually hiring men every day. Tho bridges between Kille and Grand valley big ditch are al com-pleted and ready for the rails; and tho grading of tho entiro mad is finished in splendid style. 'Fho track-layin-that remains to bo done can be finished up in eight days, and there is force enough now employed to do this just as soon as the material arrives. The roail is finished to tho "long thirteen miles from siding" Grand Junction. A. Freight Sinaihiip. Another collision occurred ou the Uniou Pacific switch at Lake View ou Monday afternoon.. A south-houn-freight train was standing at the switch when another south bound freight came rushing along at tho rate of thirty miles an t uir. Tho engiue of the second train struck the caboose with a terrible force, throwing it up in tho air and on top of the adjoining box car. The ca-boose and box ear were literally smashed. Boots and shoes and other merchandise were scattered in every direction. Tho engine was thrown from the track and badly damaged and sev-eral of tho other freight cars wore stove-in- Nobody was hurt. Considerable time was required in which to move the debris from the track and in consequence the two afternoon passenger trains wero delayed some ten or twelve hours. I'nion l'acilln Mr. V. G. Boguo, chief .engineer of tho I'nion Pacllie, was in Portland a few days ago. Do was seen by an n reporter and said that tho com-pany now has some 1500 men at work on Kiheir Puget Sound extension and will soon have between 3000 and 4000. The line between Vancouver and Seat-tle is now fully decided upon. It will follow tho river from aneouver to Kalaina; then will parallel thoNorthern Pacific to Centralia; then w ill cut off to Olympia aud from thoro to Tacoma. Mr. Bogue would not say just what course had been decided upon between Portland and Vancouver. He said that it was yet subject to change. Oclil Consignment! by Expreia.

Ithemr11'5 Pfl.were THEMU DELAYS. Another Day Occupied Before Judge An-derson in the West Bigamy Trial. HIS LAWYER SCORES A POINT. And the Denial of a Motion for Hew Trial is Revoked by the Court. Tho district court chamber was again crowded this morning when the case of the people against Bigamist West be-gan a now chapter. The defense led off in the proceedings. Colonel Fergu-son, who had asked for time in which to submit a written motion for a stay of judgment, catching the court's piercing optio aud opening tlio proceedings. From the inside pocket of a coat that fitted him with clerical precision he produced a document upon which the destiny of his client was momentarily made to depend. The old gentleman was still grave and crestfallen, looking up from tho sea of bitter reflec-tion only when his attorney snick a high note in the gamut of court-roo- vocxlism and then sinking back into a meditative mood. In tho rear sat the second wife who watched every movement in the case. In the meantime Colonel Ferguson had opened his batteries and was arguing the motion which sets forth: Th it the Indictmont does not allege, or specify the time an I place at which the mar-riaff- e ot the defendant and Kate Clubby, named in the indictment as the second wife of deiend-ai't- . a Defendant was not served with a true copy of its iudlcliuent, for that between the oi Ik nal Indictment on tile in t lie court and the copy served oil t:m defendant there is a vnr uii'-e, ill ihe name o? the defendant's second yf( towit: Tne original indictment names Jane 11. Averlll. and variance is fat il. different crimes or offenses are united or joined 111 tho same Indict-ment. In support of these allegations coun-sel road at length from authorities. after which District Attorney Varian replied and the motion was submitted. In speaking to the motion the court said ho would revoke his decision ot yesterday in which tho motion for a hew trial was overruled, and that he would hear the motion in arrest ot judgment and pass on both Saturday morning. His reason was that the question was a new 0110.. an important one, and bo did not desire to act hastily in tho premises. To the man up a tree it looked very much as if tho irrepressible counsel for (he defense had achieved his point and hat the dofendaut would secure a new rial. At all events tho expressions that ippeared on the faces of wife No. 1 and wife No. S would indicate that they vere of that impression. They moveil .prickly from the court room while the defendant was escorted to the Black Maria that plies between the marshal's ollice and tho 'penitentiary and disap-peared in its gloomy bowels. Ho will make his reappearance on Saturday Horning next when the question of a .icw trial will be decided. . 4 Two Star safety bicycles for sale heap. Pembroke's, 18 Commercial st.

This indeed is one of the main reasons why the visits of tho Prince of Wales to his august mother are so brief, and so few and far between, for the heir apparent to the English throne is so little icenstomed to self denial and so fond of anoking that he is scarcely ever to be seen for an hour together without a cigar 'Y cigarette between his lips.

Paris Letter. THE COOSE HANCS HIGH. The Napoleoiu of the Kealty Circle Ar nil Wenring a Broad Bniile. There was a good turn out at this morning's meeting of the real estate exchange. There were rpiite a number of offers. The midland investment company offered (111x165 feet on Seventh Kast street. The same company placed on the board 82x15 feet on Tenth Kast street . Lynch & McCarrol offered. 28 lots in the Lako View addition. The Napoleons of the realty circle all report an excellent business. There is no let up iu the demand for property. Prices remain firm' and tho prospects all around wero never better. The sale of city lots is brisk. Beck, Kennedy & Co. arc selling lots in their new addition right along. VauBuskirk exhibits a roll of bills and talks of good sales. Harvey Hardy of the Midland Investment company also wears a smile of satisfaction, and not a single croaker could be found this morning. Sclireiner is still doing a big business in tho Utah potato, besides his real es-tate business. He is, however, inclined to the opinion that just at the present time the "spud" is the article that will bring him tho largo cast-iro- n dollar that bears the legend "In God we trust." Meloy is raising a new crop of whis-kers, he says, to keep off the chill blasts of winter. At the same time he is selling real es,tate and incidentally wearing a smile that brightens continu-ously. He has more customers than he can attend to just at the present time, lie has a snap for every one, but, in the langauge of men. they are sometimes just a little slow in catching on. Toiisey, of Tousey & Do Kiqles, is still chasing after fire clay, and also at the same time selling his full share of dirt. His hopeful chirp adds much to the liveliness of the call meetings of tho exchange. The Morning Mall. Requests of all kinds were found in this morning's mail at the real estate exchange and Secretary Montgomery is now breaking his back trying to answer them all. A druggist and chemist at Biloxi, Miss., wants a little of all kinds of in-formation about the great city on the inlaud sea. He has an idea of coining here and opening up in business. This is destined to be tho great n city and he does not want to miss his chalice for making a fortune. A man in Monctt, Mo., also has his eye on Salt Lake city, and thinks there is a great opening here for him. He wants information in regard to busi-ness opportunities of all kinds. The superintendent of a big, ice com-pany in Texas says that he proposes to visit Salt Lake city in October, with a visw to establishing a plant here, and would like to know something about his chances for securing a good site. He will start a big concern or none at all. : The proprietor of a big granite quarry u Massachusetts has heard much about Utah granite and the chances to make money in it, and wants Secretary Mont-gomery to give him some further infor-mation on the subject. He will come 10 Utah this fall and take a look around for himself. The Transportation Bureau. The transportation bureau met last night at the chamberof commerce. The joint committee on freight rates pre-sented a partial report. It dealt prin-cipally with ore and freight from Hailey, Idaho, to different points and showed a marked discrimination against Salt Lake City. Tho freight ou ore .rom Hailey to Kansas City is S12.40 per ton, a distance of miles, or a rate per "ton per mile of .884 cents. Shipping ore from Hailey to Salt Lake City is charged $15 per' ton, a distance of ;r5 miles, or 4.2:50 cents per ton per mile, or five times more than to Kansas City. In oth':r words, ore costs $2.00 more a ton for shipment to Salt Lake than it does to an eastern city more than four times further away. It was also shown by the speakers that ore could be shipped at a cheaper rats from Tiiitic to Kansas City than it could to this city. Tho bureau meets again tomorrow night and a more detailed report will then bo presented. Real Estate Notes. McCornick is preparing plans for an elegant bank building on the Cunning-to- n corner. II.

Of those who wsre attacked by yellow fever during the prevalence of that iiiseaso in Florida a year or two ago only about one in elovon died. In tho name year there were 1,423 cases of diphtheria In Boston, of which 470, or one in three, proved fatal. During tho last eleven years there have been 14,867 cases of diphtheria in Boston, with an aggregate of 4,825 deatlis. Such a fearful prevalence of this dead-l- y disease with its incessant desolation of homes is not by any means necessary. In Glasgow, Scotland, its ravages have been greatly chocked by means of en-forced isolation and disinfection, and there is no reason why our own boards of health, if they were urmed with the requisite legal power and backed up by a wise public sentiment, might not be able to accomplish it similar result. Diphtheria is much more fatal than smallpox, find tho fact that it is less con-tagious only increases the necessity of compulsory isolation, for many persons expose tbemsclves unnecessarily to diph-theria who could not be induced by any consideration to expose themselves to smallpox. It is a fact of public interest that diph-theria does not go from house to Iiousq apart from jiersonitl communication. Ex-cept in tenement houses, therefore, the patient can be safely isolated at home, provided tho public is duly notified by some simplo but familiar signal attached to the door. For such as cannot bo safe-ly isolated at homo adequate municipal accommodation should bo provided. Youth's Companion. l'KKHONAT,. E. N. Meddaugh, of Detroit, a nephew vv.

Tho color of a trout's back depends on tho color of tho bottom of; the river, but the trout which grow rapidly differ greatly in spots nud color from thpse which grow slowly and thrive badly, and a middle aged trout differs in color from an aged trout. Speaking general-ly, the young, healthy, fast growing fish will have silvery sides, white belly nnd plenty of well defined spots. The poorly fed fish willl have few or no spots, a drab belly and muddy yellow sides. The old trout will be much tho same in appear-ance, only more so, and will be particu-larly lank and large headed.

Marshal Young has inaugurated tho crusade against curbstone merchants and sidewalk vendors, and has served notices on them to suspeud business by Saturday niglit next. This action is precipitated by an issue between the .city and the tenants of properly as to who, the reutals and revenues from sidewalk franchises slinll go. Marshal Young contends that tlio sidewalk is a part and parcel of the municipal estate, and that if the space is consecrated to the use of the enterprising fakir and outdoor merchant, tlio treasurer is entitled to handle, the tolls.. A test case was started that the question mighs lie brought to an issue two weeks ago, but some irregularity t having occurred in tlio service tho case - was "nolle prosed" and order was di-rected to tho marshal to serve notico which was begun yesterday. The mer- - chants from whom these sidewalk priv-ileges aro obtained stalo in support of their position that rents aro high mid that as three feet aro allowed them on which to exhibit their wares and mer-chandise, the use that is made of it is discretionary with them. The vendors say they are paying enor-mous tolls considering the space alloted , to them, and that it will be imposing a ' severe hardship if they aro forced to retire. The situation "is quite serious ! and to adjust tho matter in a fair aud equitable way will be the effort of local authorities. Tho fakir with his coun-terfeit wares should be relogated to tho bosom of the sun-li- t desert. The vendor has some moral rights that should be respected. 4 . Carpets renovated by the S.

The treB is of a pale hue much resembling in color tlio weeping willow; is very fragrant and hardly ever attains tho height of more than twenty feet. Nutmeg trees grow both tho nutmegs and tho maco of com-merce, tho nutmeg being the seed of tho fruit nnd tho mace the thin covering over the seed. The fruit itself is about as largo as a good sized peach, and when ripe breaks open and exposes to view the fragrant littlo nut so highly prized ns a spico by all good cooks. The tree, which is indigenous to sev-eral countries, grows most abundantly on the island of Asia, but few growing in America, those being confined to the tropical parts. After arriving at matur-ity a treo will bear nutmegs for from 70 to 100 years, having ripe and green fruit upon its branches at all seasons of the year. Ono of tho finest nutmeg trees in ' the world grows in a public par!: at Kingston, on tho island of Jamaica. As high as 5,000 nutmegs havo been gath-ered from it in a single year. A century ago tho Dutch controlled the nutmeg trado of tho world, as thoy then owned tho Banda islands, the only place it was known to grow. Ten thou-sand bushels of nutmegs wero burned at one time by tho Dutch traders, who wore making a wild effort nt keeping up prices. St. Louis Republic. Taper Shell ( lams. Of long clams, or paper shells, as some term them, thoro are several varieties. Por these there is also a ready market, but the choicest kinds never find their way to tho New York dealers, aa not enough nro dug to supply the homo When long clams aro dug for shipment to Now York, tho tlammer goes to a bar which fidls bare at; low tide aud digs tho ground over with a garden fork, having a boy to pick them up. In this way from two to four bushels may be taken iu a tide, and for them he gets a dollar a bushel. When he wants a mess for his own table ho goes out to the extreme low water limit, and digs even then in water n foot deep. Ho can get no more than half a ieck, and never offers thorn for sale. Theso clams aro large, and sometimes weigh eighteen ounces apieco. They are young and tender, and the sweetest morsel, when properly cooked, that a man ever laid on his tongue. Tho clam catch is estimated at 75.000 bushels a year. The best timo to go clamming 'is after a heavy west, or northwest wind, for then the tide falls very low and new grounds may be reached. At Guilford, after a northwest storm, many of the workmen leave the foundry and shops, and lose half a day's time to get a small mess of the delicious bivalves. Summer visitors hire cheap cottages, dig np the clams, on which they largely live, and then go back to the city and brag how cheaply they can live at the seaside. New York Sun.
