HARVEY AND SHOWELL SLATED AS THE VICTIMS For Alleged Dereliction in Their Of-ci- al Duties. GLOOM NOW REIGNS WHERE JOY ONCE PREVAILED. Harvey Will nave to Suffer, So the Story Cloes. for the Acts of His Dishonest Deputy, and Showell Will Occupy the Mourners' Bench With Him for Looking Upon His Office as a Private Treat. It was rumored on the streets today that Mayor Baakin was busy thW week putting a fine, keen edce on the official guillotine, and that it would be in working order by next Tuesday night, when the conncil will meet in regular session. Jim Ilarnvy, the watermaster, and Bill Showell, sanitary inspector, are slated as the victims. . Ilarvey, as is well known, is accused by a committee of the council of being incompej tent to manage the details of his department, and it is said that the proved dishonesty of Charles Hughes, formerly a deputy water-maste- r, will hasten his own official demise. Showell is lying under a deeper cloud, the charge being: that he has and is using his of-ficial position for his private gain. The may 01 has the report of the detective bureau which was employed by those anxious to cause the downfall of Showell, and It is be-lieved he has thoroughly mastered it con-tents. In consequence of the impending disaster to such tried and true patriots, there is a great big gob of gloom in the halls of the municipality, as the few who are left do not know what a day may bring forth. COFFEYVILLE ALERT. If There Are Any Avengers Sear They Will Be Accommodated. PICKETS KEPT ON GUARD, But o Serious Trouble Is Expected Wild Kuniera Are Afloat of Armed lien Hoarding a Train, and Others Camping in the Brushes, But It Is Hard to Sift Facts From Fiction. Coffeyyille, Kans., Oct. 14. All is quiet here this morning. No raid wa made by the Dalton gang last night; nothing serious apprehended at present, though the city is on guard and pickets kept out. If any confederates of the dead Daltons attempt to wreak vengeance they will be ac-corded a warm reception. All sorts of wild rumors are afloat and it is hard to sift fact from fiction. it was reported tins morning that another train was held-u- p last night on the Missouri Pacific west of thi9 city, but it turns out that tramps broke into a freight car, stole a lot of canned goods and provisions. It is said twenty rouh looking men left the train at Deeriujr last night armed with Winchesters. Another report says a body of armed men camped in scrub oaks four miles west of town. A WILD-EYE- D WOMAN Creates a Lively Ruction at the City Hall. "I WANT MY MONEY BACK 1" Was the Burden or Her Cry One of Galeazzi's Victims Rebels aud Makes Life a Burden to Innocent Men Chief Stanton Retreats Be-fore the Fury of Her Onslaught and the folic Are Compelled to Eject Her. ' "I want my money back !'! exclaimed a wild-eye- d and excited woman to Fred Dennis this morning in the office of the city re-corder. "I want it back, and I won't leave until I get it!" she added a moment later. "Madam," replied Dennis in his most suave manner, "there is nothing coming to you." "Yes there is, and you know it!" veiled the woman. "The papers said dog tax was on!y $1, and you charged me $3." "The tax is , ?3, madam," replied Dennis wearily, "and that is all there is to it." "I know better!" shrieked Galeazzi's latest victim, "for a councilman told me so." Dennis did not reply, bo the woman startled him out of his senses by defiantly say"Yinogu: put ine out, if you dare! Tou can't do it, for I have a brother-in-la- on the police force and he won't see me abused." "Oh, madam," pleaded Dennis, "no one will abuse you if joutuhave yourself. Please keep quiet." "I should say not," was the response. "I want my money. You are robbing me!" Then she directed her vituperative battery at the psychological phiz of License Col-lector Iteese and demanded that he return her money. "Maftani," responded the patriot, "dog tax is f3, and I can do nothing for you." "Oh, you are not telling me the truth," was the response in a major key. "You put me out, if you dare." Just as he was about to decline the job Jim Ilegney of Rio Grande fame entered, but he made the quickest etit on record. As he opened Xht door the woman bounded be-fore him, and wrathfully asked: "Have you come to put me out ?" Ilegney stammered a denial and the next moment was wiping his forehead and telling his friends on the outside what a narrow es-cape he had had. Chief Stanton also entered a moment later, and In an authoritative tone, demanded the cause of the trouble. "They charged me $'& for a dog license P' the woman replied. Turning to Dennis he ordered: "Make it six if she'don't keep quiet!" The chief faced the woman just in time. Si; 3 meant business, and the chief knew It, so he. took to his heels iust as the woman's husbaud entered. He was a decent sort of a chap, and endeavored to quiet his excited wife, but came out second best every time he toed the mark. Finally she was induced to leave the office, but in the rotunda of the city hall she re-sumed her tirade, until the police were com-pelled to eject her. It appears that the woman, whose name is Parratt, and is a resident of the Nineteenth ward, has been led to believe by someone who ought to be in better business, that the j tax ou dosrs has been reduced to $L She, therefore, made a flank movement on the city hall last evening and succeeded in cap-turing the major, who, after a hard linguis-tic tussle, succeeded in convincing her that Coucilman Wantlaud was. the man she should talk to. "Wanty" was subjected to a terrific tongue-lashin- but as he is in the real estate business and used to cyclone vis-itations, he did not lose his head but stood her off nobly. To Councilman Rich he fin-ally referred her, and the ruction in the re-corder's office is the sequel. PREACHING- - AT BODIE At One Time the Wickedest Town in r ." " the World. REYNOLDS FETCHING TEXT. Advised by the Editor. He Chose a 'Subject That Interested Bodie's Hough Miners Hal vat ion Aptly Il-lustrated by Familiar Faro Terms. In 1S78 Bodie was the wickedest town in all the world. It had been a mining camp in 1861, had been worked out, rediscovered by George Story in 1377, and by August, 1878, contained 15,000 inhabitants. The daily accounts of the day's doings at Creede, Colo., are commonplace compared with a recital of the feverish existence at Bodie during the boom. The "Bad Man from Bodie" acquired a world-wid- e fame. The hurdy-gurdie- s never closed and were crowded at ail hours. Magnificent saloons cropped up with plate-glas- s mirrors and furnishings in solid woods and marbles. Dave Nagle, ine siayer 01 avis . lerry; BUI Witurow, since famous as shotgun messenger; John Wagner and Sam Pitcher, who snent $18,000 in furnishing his barroom, were the princi-pal saloonkeepers and, consequently, the leading citizens. The camp had its daily paper, the Standard, edited by Frank Kenyon," who afterward died in Guatemala, and managed by John M. Dormer, subsequently secretary of the state of Nevada. All the miners and work-ingme- n were well paid, and gambling was the principal diversion. Every saloon had its faro bank. But up to the time tho place contuiued 12,000 people there was no church in town, and no sermon had been preached there. Bodie had been given over to the evil ore. - .On Tuesday, August 20, 1878. a memorable event happened in the history of the can10, continues the San Francisco Examiner. The boom was at its height. A few days prior Russian Pete bad made a big strike in the southern end of the Sigourney, the Booker on Booker flat was looking up, and everytning about the camp, even to the hurdy-gurd- y girls wore a roseate hue. It was early in the afternoon when a stranger entered the office of the Standard and presented this card to Mr. Dormer. It read: : Rev. E. M. Reynolds : : ' i Of the M. E. Church. : '- - The jnew arrival was a stout-bui- lt man of medium height, florid complexion, and a de-termined look about his lartre mouth. He was attired In a loosely fitting suit of gray stuff, badly worn. i bodik's crtixo nesd. "Glad to see you," said Mr. Dormer, pleasantly. "One of the crying needs of tbia carmp is a pastor. The Standard since it started has been doing its best to reform the camp, but its efforts have been f utiie. No rise trying. What Bodie wants is a spir-itual awakening. Its people want to be aroused to the imminent danger they are in. It is dreadfully immoral." "I have heard so," replied Mr. Reynolds, quietly. "For the past few weeks I have been laboring for the Master in Aurora." "What success f "Not as great as I could desire. Feople rjV s "rr""es of their soul's salvation. There are tjl'5 many families at Aurora, but I found li devout Christians." "Are you going to preach here?" "Yes. I have seen the members oi the executive committee of the Miner's union, and they have kindly consented to my using their hall on next Sunday evening. The object of my call was to see you about get-ting out some dodgers calling attention to the meeting." ;"What do yon wish on the dodgers?" Mr. Reynolds thought a moment and wrote: ...,.......... RELIGIOUS SERVICES : ; At Miners' Union Hall, Sunday Evening, : t August bl, 1878. : ; The Rev. E. SI. Keisolos of the Methodist : t , Church will preach at 7:30 o'clock. : : Subject: "And he said unto them, follow me,: ; and I will make you fisher of men." : ISINNERS AND CH RISTIANS CORDIALLY: : INVITED. : .. .... "That subject won't draw," said Mr. Dor-mer, promptly and emphatically. "Why, you won't have a corporal's guard there. You must preach on some live subject something in touch with the people; some-thing that appeals to their sympathies, to their every-da- y life. The text from St. Matthew, is all right in Its place, but it is not the thing here." "Can you give me a subject, then?" asked the minister. "Stocks and faro are what interest people here., Few people can beat either game. Why not preach on 'How to Beat Faro?' " Mr. Reynolds knitted his brows a mo-ment. He evidently was weighing the mat-ter in his mind, and it took a few momenta to decide. "I'Jl do it!" he said earnestly. Then he took his pencil again and wrote. "This is what I'll have on those dodgers," he remarked as he handed over the paper. HOW TO WIN AT FARO. : : At Miners1 Union Hall on Sunday : ; , Evening, Aug. Bl, 1878, : ; at 7:80ox:lock, : ; ; . REV. E. M. REYNOLDS : ; Of the Methodist Church Will Ad-- . : dress the Citizens of : ; " Bodie on : j . "How to Win at Faro." : : ' : How to Bar Splits and Not Get Whip- - : ; - sawed on the Last Turn If you : Strike a Kind Deal, Don't Be Afraid : ; to bet Your Checks in. : 'I think you are right," he said to Dor-m- er ."The ordinary laymen may understand this. I do not. I merely use the catch phrases which I have heard on the street But every man in Bodie will know what it mesns." Rev. Mr. Reynolds had an immense crowd to hear him. His application of "How to Win at Faro" to the gospel of St. Matthew hadv'a thrilling and beneficial effect. He wound up his address as follows: "My friends, I have been in your camp but a few days. During the short time I have resided here I have been deeply im-pressed with the wealth of your mines and the enormity of your wickedness. Crime, in" all of its shades and stages, instead of being frowned upon and discountenanced, is encouraged. The chief amusements of the people of Bodie are gambling, drinking and carousing. - "What a precarious living is afforded the gambler! Perhaps you never thought of this before. Pass your saloons at any hour of the day or night and see the poor wretches who have lost all at the gambling tables surreptitiously trying to appease their hunger at the lunch countsr! Young men of good families have lost all hope and hang about these places in their despair. "I have advertised that I would tell you this evening how to win at faro. I mean in a spiritual way. Let uh assume, my hearers, that the world is the layout and tho church is the casekeeper. The king represents our Lord and the jack the devil. Do you want everlasting happiness? Do you want eter-nal Uf? . If you-d- copper tho jack on the heel and play the king to win.

And when the last great turn is made there will be no splits, bo whipsaws, and yon won't be afraid to set your chips in. It will be a kind deal." ' Seven gambler confessed their sins there and tv n, and enough money was taken in to b ' i a church without mortgaging the - V Russian-Pet- e passed tha hat. , PIOUS LAUGHTER. The Congregational Council Is Highly Amused and Entertained BY SOME OF THE SPEECHES Advocating Places for Holding the Xext Council It Was Finally Agreed to Be Some City on the Pa-cific Coast at a Point to Be le-ride- d by the Provisional Commit-tee. Minneapolis, Oct. 14. This morning, when the Congregational council, relieved of the soberer parts of its work by allowing the advocates of the different cities who wanted the next meeting a chance to speak in favor of their respective cities, wave after wave of laughter and applause rolled up from the auditorium at the humorous speeches made. The matter came up on a report of the committee on place and time of the next meeting, which was in favor of the Pacific coast, either San Francisco or Tacoma. Dr. Brown of San Fran-cisco took occasion to say that San Francisco has long waited for the holding of this or some other body of the church, and hoped now that the council would decide on his city. Dr. Halleck of Tacoma made a speech In favor of his city, which, he said, would give $10,000 to entertain the council. It was voted by a large majority to meet on the Pacific coast, at a point to be hereafter decided npon by the provisional committee after further consideration. Committee work occupied the rest of the session. A SCHEMING SISTER. Did Mrs. Catherine Gill Is Coerce Her Brother ? IT LOOKS AS THOUGH SHE DID. She Had Been Unfriendly Toward Him, But as His Taper of Life Bnrned Low She Appeared on the Scene and ot Into His iood tjiraces He Cut Off His Father and Left His Cash to the Sister. The second day's hearing, in the contest will case of Matthew Condon, in which the father and sister of Matthew Condon are fighting for the possession of the dead man's funds, began in the probate court this morn-ing. The contestants are making a strong case and it looks already as though they would succeed in breaking the will of the deceased. Seventy-fiv- e thousand dollars is sufficient allurement for any sorrowing relative to tight for. A number of witnesses were examined this morning, and the character of the testi-mony was of a damaging nature to the de-fendant in the action, Mrs. Gillis. The dead Condon was a Tintic mining man. He was a hard drinker, and when in this city had been known to drink sixteen and eighteen bottles of beer in a day, be-sides consuming other spirituous liquors to excess. Condon used to put up at the Val-ley house, lie was on bad terms with his sister. The testimony of the landlady of the Val-ley bouse went to show that Mrs. Gillis had appeared at the Vallev caravansary some time prior to the demise of Condon and swooped down noon her brother like a bird of evil omen. Mrs. Gillis is said to have lost no time in oiling the way to slip into the good graces of her brother, whose feeble flame of existence was slowly tapering out under excessive libations of spirituous liquors. Ito landlady's testimony showed that Condon hai become clay in the hands of the sister, and his enfeebled intellect, naturally, followed the advice and dictation of the stronger. The case will probably last several days. ONE OLDER. The following order was made by Judge Bar ten: Estate of Guard Brigham Pyper et al., minors; hearing on return of sale of real estate; order made confirming sale. the i:iie : of disaster. 1 Wholesale Death in a Pennsylvania Colliery.

The follow-ing is an account of the lynching of four negroes near Monroeville yesterday: Last Friday night Richard L. Johnson and his accomplished daughter Janceltc were mur-dered in a most revolting manner and their bodies burned to conceal the crime. Four negroes, after several days' search, were arrested, confessed the crime and were lodged in jail. Yesterday a mob overpow- ered the sheriff, took the fiends out and strung them up to a tree, riddled their bodies with bullets, then cut them down, tore them limb from limb, gathered the pieces together and burned them.

A petition of Fred Christensen and eleven others residing over Jordan and below Eleventh South, asking for the establish-ment of a school in that district, was re-ferred to the committee on sites and build-ings. Treasurer Duke's report showed that there was a balance of $12S, 404.47 on hand at the close of September.

The Conference Committees of Rail-roaders and Merchants SLOW IN REPORTING PROGRESS. Xearly All the Rates on Merchandise From Missouri River Points Made Fp Considering, the Distribution Points on the Union Pacific Xorth Chamber ef Commerce May Meet. There is discreet silence on the part ot the merchants' committee and railroad mag- - nates concerning meir action in giving salt Lake and Utah points a freight tariff that conforms with the freight tariffs of compet-ing Western cities. It leaked out that the committees had agreed upon freight Jrates from Missouri river points and also from the far West and Northwest to Salt Lake. The work now being done by the committees relates only to the Union Pacific and is in regard to the distributing points of the North. A Times reporter called upon President Donnellan of the chamber of commerce to-day and asked him when the committee would be prepared to report to the chamber of commerce. Mr. Donnellan was in doutt upon that point and said that he received no intimation as to when the committee would report. The reporter asked Mr. Donnellan if, when the committee's report was filed with the president of the chamber of commerce, it would become public property and be acces-sible to the newspapers. "I can'l state as to that," replied the president of the chamber of commerce. "Possibly a meeting of the chamber will be called to take action on the report before it is given to the public" Mr. Donnellan was of the opinion that the committees had been doing good work and that the report would be favorable to a final solution of the freight problem. . . .

Tlie Famous Explorer Hemmed in by the Wurrinir Natives of Lunda, Some months ago the Congo Free State commissioned the missionary explorer, George Grenfell, to ascend the Kassai river, with a delegate from Portugal, to delimit the boundary line between the Free State aud Portugal in the native empire of Lunda. No information concerning the expedition was received until a few weeks ago, when a courier arrived at Boma with the alarming news that Mr. Grenfell, surprised by a re-vo- '.t amonr the Lunda natives, was blocked in that region and needed It is believed that before this an armed expedi- tion organized a t the post of Luiuaburg, which is nearest to Grenfeil's camp, has been sent to the rescue says the New York Sun. No man has ever exercised more tact in dealinir with the savages than Grenfell. He .never fired a shot at a native, and, though frequently attacked, all of his men have es-caped without a wound. After Grenfell had been in the country a few years he married a Mack wife, a native of Accra, who had be n educated at a missionary station. She was a very intelligent woman and made an excellent impression when she visited Eng-land. When Stanley was here he said they had two beautiful children. In his opinion ar..l that of all other explorers of Africa, Grenfell is foremost an or g the pioneers, and it bus oiten been said that he and A. M. Mackay, iVhi spent years on the shores of Victoria Nyauza, were most worthy to wear the. TrinnUn of Livingston. This is the first serious difficulty in which Grenfell )ms become involved. The white enterprises in the Congo Basin need such men as he, and all who are interested in the prouress of Africa will await with anxiety news of his rescue from his present trouble. . . .

Pat-rick McCarthy, employed in the Wake-up- - ' Jim, one of the syndicate mines, was in-- 1 stantly killed by being struck by a cage. The shaft is being sunk from the 600-fo-level, and McCarthy's duties as pumpman were in the bottom. A set of timbers was being put in at the bottom, and McCarthy went up the shaft to hang the plumb lines, - and after hanging them called to the men below to ring up the cage when they got ' ready. After giving the signal to hoist they 1 called to him to look out. When it was J thought the cage had gone far enough the ; men below rang one bell, the signal to stop, and were horrified when in an instant after- - J ward McCarthy's lifeless body fell down among them. , It is supposed McCarthy leaned over to see If the cage was coming, and, as it was quite dark was unable to see it in time to save h'uiself from being struck. His death r must have been instantaneous, as one of the J knuckles of the cage struck him above the t eyes and tore away a large piece of the skull. McCarthy was about 27 years of age and a married, and had been in the employ of the company for five years. It was not his duty to perform the work he was engaged in at - the time of his death, that being a part of ? the work of the timbermen. But McCarthy having nothing to do at the time volunteered e to hang the lines in order to help the tim- - bermen along and enable them to get i, through quicker. - INDIANS ON THE WAR PATH.

SING A SONG OF SIXPENCE. You all know this rhyme, but have you ever heard what it really means? The four and twenty blackbirds represent the twenty-fou- r hours. The bottom of the pie is the world, while the top crust is the sky that overreaches it. The opening of the pie is the day-daw- n, when the birds begin to sing, and surely such a sight is fit for a king. The king, who is represented as sitting in his parlor counting out his money, is the sun, while the gold pieces that slip through his fingers as he counts them are the golden sunshine. The queen, who sits in the dark kitchen, is the moon, and the honey with which she re-gales herself is the moonlight. The industrious maid, who is in the garden at work before her king the sun is risen, is the day-daw- and the clothes she hang out are the elouds. The bird, who tragically ends the song by ''nipping off her nose," is the sunset. So we have the whole day, if not in a nut-shell, in a pie. Good Times Abroad. Do you know where Blackenberghe is? H's not in this country, but you can turn to Europe aud look it up in your geographies. There have been some special festivals for children there this autumn, and some of the things that were done were particular inter-esting. For one thing, there was a competition in sand-castl- e building. It consisted of the erec-tion of some fourteen or fifteen saud castles on Mis bacU by parties of six small sappers and engineers. According to the rules, tbey bad to be built in line, their exact con-ditions being indicated by slender flagstatfs, and in the face of the rapidly incoming tide. 'York began at a drummer's signal, the little army laboring for dear life. Many boys and girls had rehearsed their attempt before, and ail had ttieir own little plan to render their fort as long as possible impregnable. Some placed their reliance in trenches, and others trusted rHther to the solidity of their struc-ture to resist the advancing waves, which, with a fresh breezu upon them, were rolling up with more than usual strength. As soon as the fort was finished it was crowned with a flag, fastened to a pole lightly stuck in Its ceuter, and when the tide had reached a cer-tain line ou the sand another drum signal gave the order to "cease work." Then it wka the real excitement began. The waves washed around the fragile castles, gradually carrying them away till the last flag fell. One by one they went down, the amuse-m-sn- t becoming keener and keener, till at tuants only one be.nner was left standing, winning the engineering fame of the beach, and obtaining for its energetic little builders medals and hearty applause. On another day there were running races for children. The competitor were handi-capped accordii-.- to agf, size and apparent form; and the boys were truly "sporting" in tueir appreciation of a certain young Mon-sieur Cigarre, who fully jusntied the confi-dence of his backers. It is to bo feared that tiie favorite schoolboy eritieipin iimt "girls aren't up to much at rmi.ijv'' "null have received some support at .Msnkeubergae, for it must be admitted ti.ut f.uls w?r aumer-ou- s iu their races, and one little girl, in her eagerness to be first. u the wisming post, .caught hold of the hair of her faster rival jut before her, to the reat Amusement of very one. LETTER WRITING MADE EASY. A Yankee lias Conceived the Idea of Travelers' Postal Cards. It is always a task for a traveler to write home. The jar of the cars, the uncertainty of a boat's equilibrium and the constant lookout for sights and novelties makes writ-ing almost a bugbear to travelers. It is diffi-cult to write even a postal card. Armreciating this need for something to assist the tourist in his home letter-writin-a "down-east- " Yankee has had several thous-and postal cards printed like this: Dear , I am well and hope yon are well also. I reach next . Address me there. Re-member me to . The waather is . I am having a time. Must slop now. Yours. Th cards have not been placed on sale yet. But the ingenious inventor hopes great things from them. TIME DRAWING NIGH. The Urgent Necessity of Prompt Actio Toward FireprooSng the Joint Building. The city and county building is ncaring the third story, and by tho close of the pres-ent month the fireproof part of the structure will have been finished. The necessity of prompt action on the part of the authorities to see to it that this entire build-ing is. made fireproof becomes more urgent each day. The folly cf putting thousands of dollars into a building one-hal- f of which is made fireproof while the base-ment and higher stories are not fireproof, is one of the freaks of legislation which occa-sionally startle a community. It is of interest to every taxpayer in Salt Lake city and county to see that this build-ih- g is made fireproof from basement to dome. No Opera Hon. The committee appointed by the chamber of commerce, E. W. Taylor, C. E. Wantland and W. E. Hubbard, to try to raise sufficient funds to purchase a site for the erection of a modern opera house by a local real estate firm, has reported to the chamber of com-merce that their work was barren of results. The committee deplores the "short-sightedness- " of the business men whose property would be increased in value by tho building of an opera bouse, and says: "That the stagnation and inactivity of our 1 real estate is due to want of unison, want of business foresight and patriotism on the part of our resident capitalists, which policy, if continued, is certain of disastrous re-sults." Another Business Block. The old residence Adjoining the Tellnride block on the east, on Third South street, has been razed to the ground, and the Bamber-ger- s today commenced excavating for a handsome business structure which will be completed this fall. : i New York Stocks.

Mr. Smith, an Euglish traveler, arrived one evening at a hotel In Austria. On the way he had picked up smart German and hired him as his servant. In Austria every one staying at a hotel is obliged to register his name and occupation in a book which is kept for police examination, so Mr. Smith told his servant Fritz to bring this book for him to write his name. "1 have already registered, milor," said Fritz, "as an English gentleman of indepen-dent meaus." "But I've never told you my name, bo how do you know what it is?" "I copied It from milor's portmanteau," answered Fritz. "Why, it Isn't on my portmanteau," cried Mr. Smith; "bring the book and let me tea what you have put down." The book was brought, and Mr. Smith, to his - amusement, discovered that his clever servant had described him as: "Monsieur Warranted Solid Leather!" Gripsack. .
