Huntington's death at his unimer camp in the Adirondacks on I Monday night. August 13. came as a j surprise to railroad men in Salt Lake, j It was only a short time ago he passed I through Ogden en route to New York from California. He was apparently in good health at that time. Mr. Huntington Hunt-ington is reported to have left $40,000.-(iiio. $40,000.-(iiio. He left few friends to regret his passing, especially in California and the West. The company with which he was connected robbed the Central Pa-citic Pa-citic to build the Southern Pacific, and through the latter road the people of California were placed at the mercy of Huntington, who, now that he is dead, will have few potts and writers to immortalize im-mortalize his memory in song and Ftorj-. The Feast of the Assumption occurred on Wednesday. August 15. and was observed ob-served as usual by the Catholic church in Salt Lake as elsewhere. The Blessed Virgin is suposed to have lived twenty-live twenty-live years after the death of her Divine Son. During that time she visited the spots made sacred by His life. At Mary's death the apostles were gathered gath-ered about her with lights burning. They watcheduntil the third day. "And toward nightfall on the third day Jesun came down with hosts of saints and ungels and they ranged themselves before be-fore Mary's? coach." says a writer in i Ave Maria. "Sweet hymns were heard at intervals till the middle of the night. And then J-?sus called her softly twice that she should come to Him. and she answered that she was readv loyfullv to yield the spirit. And thus her spirit quitted the body and flew into the arms j Iol hervSon. And she neither suffered pain nur her body corruption." (Salt Lake Herald. August 16.) ' Alexander H. Tarbet returned yesterday yester-day from a ten days' trip to eastern cities on a combination of business and pleasure, in the latter caiegory may ''lasted his stay in Indianapolis as a member of the committee which notified no-tified Mr. Pryan of his nomination to the presidency by the Kansas City convention. Mr. Tarbet said that from the general appearance of Indianapolis Indianapo-lis one might have thought Mr. Bryan was the only presidential candidate. Flags and bunting were everywhere displayed and the people used all possible pos-sible efforts to entertain their guests. V. There was only one thing that marred the beauty of the whole. This was the placing of portraits of McKinley in the windows of the court house by the Re- ! publican element in control. The form of decoration adopted by this outtit was condemned by thinking men of all parties. It really had the effect. Mr. Tarbet thinks, of increasing Bryan's popularity. People who were "lukewarm "luke-warm before became so incensed over It that they are now out with their coats off for the Democratic nominee. "Yes, 1 heard a good deal of politics talked on the trains and elsewhere during my trip." said Mr. Tarbet. "In New York I found Tammany at work I for Bryan tooth and naii. At the Democratic club, which was founded by Mr. Croker, 1 was led to believe that the party was united in New York I "They all seemed to think Bryan will be elected. While it is si ill too early to make an accurate estimate on New-York New-York I think it can at least be classed as a doubtful state. Personally I " feel confident from what I have heard that Mr. Bryan will be elected. It is my candid judgment that He will carry Indiana and Illinois as well as Maryland, Mary-land, Kentucky, West Virginia, Delaware Dela-ware and other states that were carried car-ried by McKinley in 1S96." Aside from the heat, which he described de-scribed as being intense in New York and Indianapolis, Mr. Tarbet enjoyed his ten days' trip immensely. While water is scarce, and the cry of lire strikes terror to the timid to an unusual degree.'Salt Lake's second conflagration con-flagration within the space of three days occurred Wednesday. Not for a long time has so much valuable property been threatened with entire destruction destruc-tion as when Patrolman Simpson turn-id turn-id ni the alarm at 9 o'clock from the :orner of Main and Second South treets. The Popular cafe and C. E it rent. K c.iar store at 20 and 22 Fasti - "i .cecnd South were then in a mass of flumes. It seemed that fully ten minutes lapsed before the fire department got in its work, but really it was not half that time in getting two lines of hose playing at the rear and three lines at the front, besides one line from th roof of the one-story shacks on the esst. After about five minutes the fire was under control, and in twenty minutes min-utes more there was not a sign of blaze anywhere. ' j hen the firemen arrived on the scene the flames were shooting to a I great height both at the front and from i the rear of the doomed buildings. Just I as the water was turned on the heat j from the flames was felt clear across j the street. What made the situation ap-I ap-I pear all the more serious was the ; tongues of flame licking the corners of the Kenyon hotel annex, both front and rear, but the element of destruction destruc-tion was not permitted to form an alliance al-liance with the big building on the west. Fortunately a thick brick wall intervened, in-tervened, and the hotel suffered not a cent's worth of damage. In the early stages of the fire the Kenyon hotel guests received a scare that completely unnerved them. One of th bellboys came tearing down the corridors cor-ridors and the main stairway into the rotunda yelling "fire" with all his might. One of the women guests took up the cry. and thus added to the terror ter-ror of the situation. Neither knew just where the fire was. and as far as their knowledge went it might have been in the other block. But the scare was started, and the guests came pouring out of their rooms without any other formality than to gather up their hand baggage and make for the main exits. The clerk had in the meantime learned the cause of the alarm and promptly set to work to calm the frightened guests by assuring assur-ing them that there was not the slightest slight-est danger. The men were calmed at once on learning that the hotel was not on fire, and soon the fair sex breathed easier. When the humorous side of the dilemma dawned on the women guests, some of them attired in wrappers, and children made ready for a night's slumber, they returned to their rooms for repose. Just how the fire started is a mystery. mys-tery. It is known that the blaze was discovered at the Tear of the cigar store by the attaches of the cafe, who declare de-clare that either an incendiary, possibly possi-bly some hanger-on of the circus, who had plunder in view, set off the blaz or that the careless dropping of a smoker's stump or a match into the rubbish did the business. |
