A Triumph or Scientific anil Mechanical Art Now on Exhibition. Iii a largo tent 011 the south sido of Brigham street, near tho eagle gate, there is now on exhibition a working model of the city of Jerusalem as it was iu the days of the Savior. A re-porter of Tim Times visited the place last evening, and for an hour was en-tertained by the wonderful exactness and tho minute details of this piece of scientific and mechanical art. Jt was constructed by Mr. J. B. Miller of Warsaw, III., which is in tho same county as Nauvoo. Mr. Miller is an old man, and it was lie who toiled alone for twelve years 011 this model of the city which has ho much of significance to the students of Bible history. Every portion of tho work was built by him-self, not only tho model, but the deco-rations being tho result of his own patient toil and skill. The city represents every point of in-terest and note spoken of in tho New Testament, carved from wood; and in the background are seen the hills and valleys in perspective, tho setting sun and tho tinted clouds, depicted iu oil colors on canvas; and so faithful in blending are the two pictures as to leave no impression that the painting and tho carving are dis-tinct and separate works. Calvary and the em of Tiberius are painted repre-sentations; Herod's templo and the ancient house of tribute are carved iu wood; and yet thero is but one picture to the eye. In the foreground are shown several gates of tho city. Through one of these Christ and tho apostles emerge, on their Journey from Capernaum, while out of another there comes a funeral proces-sion. The bier on which lies the dead is carried ou tho shoulders of four beavers, and theso are followed ly a widow whose only son is to be buried; and then the mourners and friends. Christ meet the fun-eral and all tho figures stop; tho bearers set down tho bier, the dead youth rises up and stands upon his feet; his mother approaches hiin, put her arms about him, and turns to go back to the city. All is joy where so lately there was mourning: and even the sol-emn tolling of a bell is changed to a silvery chime. Christ and the twelve pass on out of sight, and the gates close; and two Pharisees who have arisen from their seals on tho balcony to watch the proceedings sit down again as if in silent wonder at what they have seen. A blacksmith's forge is seen, the fire brightly burning while the bellows is worked by tho smith's assistant, which as suddenly becomes dim when tho workmen are engaged in hammer- - ing tho iron, and the bellows no longer iu use. A potter close by is turning his wheel by means of a treadle while ho fashions the clay; and other figures arc seen at work at var-ious occupations. A cow is drinking quite naturally from a trough as a woman pours tho, water. Christ, with Mary and Martha, are on a balcony, one of tho women kneeling at his feet, while the other continually passes to and fro. A mechanical canary in tho extreme middlo-foregaouu- d is a won-derful triumph of art. Tho bird sings in perfect imitation of a canary, and its beak can be seen to work and its wings to expand as it sings. The model is made up of 2000 pieces, 400 of which are gear wheels with 4000 cogs, all hand work; and there arc 200 moving figures representing citizens, horses, goats and a cow. The exhibitor is Mr. Horatio Cooke, and his wife, daughter of the maker, acts as delineator and lecturer. Men, women and children should not fail to see this truly wonderful exhibition. It conveys more than one lesson, and children arc delighted with it. Mr. Cooke will remain in Salt Lake all next week, and will make special reductions in the admission price for schools.

IN MILW QHflffi A General Strike Among the Employes of the Union Paoifio Apprehended by Officials. THE GATHERING AT CHEYENNE. Other Railway News of Local and Gen-eral Interest Notes and Personal. A general strike of all the trainmen of tins entire Union Paeilio system is threatened, says tho Denver News. While a desperate effort is being made by the officials to conceal tho impending trouble, enough has leaked out to cause the matter to assume a very serious as-pect. A conference between all the high, officials of the road and delega-tions of traiumeii is now being held in Cheyenne. t js no secret that a serious hitch has occurred, which may lead to strike which will involve thousands of trainmen throughout the entire west and northwest,, wherever the track of the Union racilic extends. The trouble has been brewing for some time, the trainmen cluiming that there was no uniform scale of wages and that on some of the divisions em-ployes who had easy runs were paid more and were given longer s than others on the longest runs. As the company did not seem disposed to remedy this injustice, the trainmen on some of the mountain lilies asked that their wages lie increased. No heed was paid to this reiitest, and finally the matter was taken up by the members of the order of railroad conductors on the entire system and the brakemen and baggagemen joined them in demuuding recognition. This caused the ollicials to open their ryes, and a conference was suggested. Cheyenne was the place suggested to hold tho conference. Delegations of train men from each division of the road were appointed and begun to gather at Cheyenne Sun-day night. The delegation from Den-ver went up Sunday night. The rail-way ollicials began to arrive on Sunday also. The general managers of all the divisions of the system were notified to be present. Ilolcoinb, fully impressed with the importance of the conference, hurried from Boston to be present. Hu was joined by Geueral Manager Kessugie of the mountain di-visions, General Manager Dickinson of the Kansas and Nebraska divisions, General Manager Meek of the Colorado and Texas divisions, General Superin-tendent Brinkcrhoff of Kansas Pacific divisions, General Superintendent Choato of the Colorado lines, besides all tho division, superintendents. . General Superintendent Choule has been in the east for more than a month, and was hurrying back to Denver when ho was summoned by Holcomb to attend the conference. He arrived iu Cheyeuno Tuesday morning, but tlie situation was so threatening that he has not had time to run down to Denver for even a few hours. The first conference was held between the employes and ollicials on Monday, but that seems to have been only a pre-liminary skirmish. It was imme-diately seen that the differences wero too great, to admit of an early adjustment, and both sides drew off for consultation. Tho employes, feeling that they occupied tlie point of vantage, made no further overtures and finally tho officers asked for another meeting. This lasted several hours and finally adjourned without having accomplished anything. The train-men were linn in their demands. They ask that their pay be in-creased, that they bo given larger lay-ove- at tho ends of their run and further that tho company adopt a uniform scale of wages over the entire system. As to whether or not tho officials object to conceding any ono of tho demands or all of them can-not be ascertained, but the conference has struck a snug of some kind and the obstacle is of such a serious nature that no further progress has been made. The railroad officials tiro throwing an air of mystery over the conference which only serves to iutensify the ex-citement ami tho wildest rumors im-aginable are atloat. Immediately after the conference of Tuesday Holcomb sought his private car, and a half tin hour later was flying east. His departure was very unexpected and no explanation was offered. It is stated lie has gone to Boston to lay tho matter before President Adams and tho execu-tive board of directors. In the mean-time the conference will continue in-definitely until some nmieablo adjust-ment is made. Geueral Manager Meek arrived from Cheyenne yeslernay afternoon, but he declined to see a News reporter who called. Tho reporter sent word to the general lutinagor through his clerk that it was reported that a geueral strike of 5000 Union Pacific employes was about to bo instituted, but Mr. Meek mado no reply. Ho also refused to state whether or not tliero was any prospects of an early adjustment of the trouble. Note Since the above was in type, a telegram from Cheyene, published in auother column, states that the Union Pacific officials havo acceded to the de-mands of tlio trainmen east of the mountain division. POLICE COURT. HI Honor Render a Lot of Judicial De-cisions. "I wished to be understood as say-ing," remarked the court as he climbed his c three-legge- d stool this morning, "that this court lias decided to bring things up with a round turn. There has been too much monkey work in tlieso parts for a week or so and I am about to close down on tho people who have been indulging ill tho authropo-morli- e exerciso spoken of." "You will note," continued the court, "that in days gone by the sentences pronounced by this tribunal of justico havo been very light. The court has. allowed its personal feeling to interfere too much in legal matters. From this time out this court is a cycle, an icicle if you please. Justice is blind as a bat, anil the crossbar on the scales is lubricated with Neat's foot oil. Let the machinery start. "William Henry Smith, you are a vagabond, according to tho testimony of the city attorney, who hasn't been caught in an equivocation since tho days of '70, when he attempted to pass himself oil' as a half fare client on a horse car when ho ho M as iu the un-lucky thirteen hole. It is alleged that you will not work.

"We will now adjourn and repair to our corn beef hash." Improvement In ArtlBciat Limb. The latest improvement in artificial limbs consists in forming the leg and foot part of a single piece of wood, hav-ing the grain curved naturally in its growth, such pieces being procured from the parts of the trunk contiguous to the roots and branches of trees. Limbs made in this way ara stronger with the same amount of wood remaining in them than when mado of parts and glued together, and are made waterproof, which is a val-uable feature when the occupation of the wearer exposes it to constant damp-ness, or to water itself, as in fishing, min-ing, dredging, etc. By making limbs in this manner from natural curves in the growth of the wood it has become prac-ticable to make light and substantial arti-ficial feet, adapted to partial amputa-tions of the foot.

It seems that the captain was fishing in Lake Ivanhoe and had been lucky enough to catch a pretty good sized trout. Thinking lie would clean it before returning homo ho sat down on the bank of the lake, and as he was washing the fish, with his. hand in the water, he suddenly felt something pull-ing at one of his fingers. Imagine his surprise and consternation when, upon looking down at his finger, he saw a large moccasin snake had hold of it. With a sudden jerk he pulled his finger out of his snakeship's mouth, the only harm done being tlsst considerable skin was scraped off in the set. Orlando Record. LOCAL BREVITIES.

George Bowles took advantage of a beautiful day to indulge in a drive with his wife. On one of the principal streets they passed a grocer's wagon on the side of which was painted in bold capitals this queer inscription: : iDoomio : Of course Bowles' curiosity was at once aroused and he drove up alongside of the wagon. When the grocer came out of a neighboring iiouse with his empty bas-ket George asked him what the sign meant. In a manner which seemed to express contempt of his inquirer for his ignorance he replied: "Those letters mean that my store is located just one door east of the postoflice." Then Bowles looked at the inscription and wondered why he had not solved the riddle before. Chicago Herald. A WICKED MAN. Charles 1. Smith Arrested on Grave Charge at Salina. Charles 1). Smith, an agt: Mormon travelling man, whoso arrest1 on tho charge of extremely naughty conduct was exclusively chronicled in these columns yesterday, was brought up from Sevier yesterday by a deputy marshal.' It appears that tho charges against Smith aro very grave iu their nature. Tho victim of his depraved passion recently gave birth to a child, which was bru-tally murdered and buried in the back yard. Tho child's neck was wrung as one would kill a chicken. Whether he was directly connected with the killing remains to be seen. Smith is a married man, and has a respectable family. He is now in jail iu default of bond. . CURRENT EVENTS. Mrs. Bones, of South Dakota, says Susan B. Anthony is "a trickster." Mrs. Caroline Donovan, who has given $100,000 to John Hopkins university and made many other important public bequests, was such an admirer of Gen-eral B. E. Lee that at tho time of his death she was ou the poiut of giving him $100,000. Dudley Foster, of Billerica, Mass., hale, hearty and in his cighty-tirs- t year, was elected for his thirty-sixt- h year as clerk and forty fifth yearns treasurer at the town meeting in that place a few days ago. He declined to be a candi-date, but was elected to both offices by a handsome majority. A rat which attacked a brood of chickens at Pottstown, Pa., was killed by the hen, and after the battle the bardyard rooster, who had viewed tho battlo from a safe perch on the fence, celebrated the victory by crowing lustily. Charles MeRoberts and wife, who lived two miles south of Northvillc, Pa., wore born Saturday, married on Satur-day, celebrated their golden wedding on Saturday, took their last sickness on Saturday and died hist Saturday. Sun-day they were buried in one grave. Vinnie .Ileum, the sculptress, now Mrs. Hoxio, rides and drives a great deal, and is, upon tho whole, a perfect pattern of happy womanhood. It is not a little curious to find out that the sculptress of Lincoln, who won the commission over so many older heads, is of pure southern blood and that her family throughdut the war had south-ern sympathies. A curious phenomenon is reported from Batoum, on the shores of the Black Sea. During a complete calm the sea is said to have suddenly receded from the shore, leaving it bare to a depth of ten fathoms. Tho water of the port rushed out to sea tearing many of the ships from anchorage, and causing a great amount of damage. After a short timo the sea resumed its usual level. Of Zola's uew novel, La Bete 45,000 copies were sold ou the day of the issue, a record that has not been equaled since tho appearance of Nana. The total number of books issued by Charpeuter, the publisher, over Zola's signature is now 1,031,000. Besides the profits on these, Zola re-ceives $4,000 for every novel published in feuilleton form before the book is issued. A wonderful pin to bo stuck in an evening bodice is the e of a hand mirror. ..The glass part is formed of that very unusual stone, a flat dia-mond. Jt is framed in tiny diamonds, and tho handle is of diamonds aTittle larger. So clear is the large one that forms tlie glass that one could, with perfect success, put a miniature pho-tograph unden it, and it would bo exactly as if a face were rerwv .euted. Rev. Wayland Hoyf oii the pessi-mists by telling of an individual named Stewart, who kept tho people of his town in an extremely nervous condi-tion by prophesying the end of the world. Ono day an unbeliever asked Mrs: Stewart, the prophet's wife, if she really believed the world was coiuiug to an end on the date he had named. "Well, I dou't know," she replied, but I do hope it will, for it will do Mr. Stewart so much good." "Pupil farming" has received a tremendous shock in England on accouut of tho disclosures in the Bir-ched ease. Judging from the inquiries that these pupil farmers make of their agents, they need a great deal of teaching. One young man recently wrote to inquire if cotton was grown in a certain locality in Canada and the sapient agent answered that it was not. but that so important an industry could not loug escape attention. According to the Lancet, Dr. Luderitz has recently made a number of obser-ation- s on the destructive power of coffee upon various microbes. He found that the organisms all died in a longer or shorter period. In one series of experiments anthrax bacilli were destroyed in three hours, anthrax spores in four weeks, cholera bacilli in four hours, and the streptococcus of erysipelas in ono day. Good and bad cotlee produce precisely similar effects. Au exceedingly cheeky thief made Ins appearance iu Boston oue dav last week. He was dressed in overalls! He went into the office of, a life insurance company, and. while whistling one of the latest tunes, began to unscrew from the walls of a toilet-roo- ou the fourth floor a mirror valued at about $20. l ully twenty occupants of the building saw the man at work, and everybody thought he had been hired either"to re-pair the glass or clean it. They did not suspect anything was wrong until he left. Then it was learned he was a thief. , Deer Come to Town to Live. L. L. Gaffney informs us that the town of Downieville is at present inhabited by quite a number of deer that were cap-tured during a storm. They walk around town and are as tame as cattle, some of them going up to children on the streets to eat food and delicacies given them. One band of fourteen were found near the banks of the river, above town. They were all bunched in the snow and left over night. The next day those who found them picked out what they wanted and took them to town, where, in a few days, they became perfectly tame. Some are kept tied in stables, and some wander around town at will, returning to the barn when they have had their exercise. Tlie town dogs do not disturb them when out. Nevada City Herald. Will Advertise the City. The meeting of tho board of directors of the chamber of commerce last uiglit was slimly attended, and little business transacted. Several propositions for advertising tlie resources of Salt Lake City in certain New York publications were considered, but Vice-preside- Simon and C. E. Wanllaud favored the advertising agency, and tho secretary of tho chamber was instructed to make a rate with a New York agency to ad-vertise the city iu fifty or oue hundred eastern papers. Another meeting of the directors will be held before the mass meeting will bo called to discuss tho water, paving and other questions of material importance. Unsold Land In the United States. The United States government has been the largest owner of arable land on tlie earth; the total area of the "public domain," sold and unsold, amounts to 1,849,072,587 acres, and con-stitutes 72 per cent, of the total area of the United States, including Alaska. About 700,000,000 acres of land have been sold and donated; about 1,150,000,-00- 0 acres remain unsold. As the area of Alaska is 369,530,000 acres, the area un-sold exclusive of that territory ia about 780,000,000 acres. Current Literature. Relative to the Government Building. Secretary Gillespie, of tho chamber of commerce, received tho following telegram this morning from West in regard to tho appropria-tion for the proposed government building: " I have just returned from New York and Philadelphia, where I went upon the business you suggested. At present I can't say when tho bill for the public .building will come up. Those wlio havo not done so, should write to their friends in congress immediately concerning tho passage of tho bill.
