UNION PAOiriO BUSINESS. General Dodge Denies a Eumor Gen-eral and Personal Notes of Interest. "A Glimpse of Great Salt Lake" is the anamolotis title of a volume just issued by the Union Pacilic railway. Tim title- should have 'been "Glimpse of Great Salt Lake." It is a neatly got-ten up little volume and is handsomely illustrated from sketches inatio during a voyage up the lake by Alfred Lam-bourn-and is a neat little work of art, "Black Rock, from the Sand Dunes," "Twilight at the Marshes," "Wasatch Mountains, from Fremont Island," "West Shore of Antelope Island," "Vil-lage at the Lake Shore," "Ou the Beach at Garfield," a night scene; "There Hung Venus, our Benelicicnt Star," "Davis' Strait and Strong's Knob," "Desolate Shore, near Strong's Knob," "Edge of tho Desert, from' Crow's Nest " "Pelican Bay," "Cliff's of Gunni-- son Island," "At Rest Proniiutory Point," "Mirage Effect No. 1," "Mi-rage Effect No. 2," "Mirago Effect--No. 3," and Mirago Effect-N- o. 4," aro faithfully portrayed. The descriptive matter is especially well written. The Burlington! lldductlon or Time. The Burlington, by reducing the time of its train between Chicago and Den-ver, says the Denver Republican, will af-ford great accommodation to the travel-ing public. The time at present is thirty-si- and one-hal- f hours. with next Sunday it will be only twenty eight and' a half hours. This reduction of eight hours will be a great deal to Denver merchants. It will save that much time for them in business cither at this or at tho Chicago end of Iho line. Tho purpose of the reduction is to fight tho Union Pacific, but it will probably, if not a permanent re-duction, cause a reduction of some sort from the present time. Railway Notes and Personals. J. IL MeCabc assistant general freight agent of the Rock Island, is ex-pected in Salt Lake about the 30th. It is understood that if tho county will grant tho right of way from the city limits southward, the rapid transit company will build to a point opposite the smelters in the south end of tho val-ley. ;.'!. The four hundred residents of the western and northwestern portions of tho city aro exceedingly anxious that the city council should grant tho Salt Lake City Street railway a franchise along North Templo street. D. E. Brown, assistant general freight and passenger agent of the Canadian Pacific, and brother of Mr. Brown, of the Rio Grande Western, is expeetetl in a few days. He comes in consequence of tlio injury from whicli Mr. Brown is now suffering. W. M. Rank, general agent of the Rio Grande Western at San Francisco, has resigned, and will be succeeded by S. H. Clark.as general agent of the freight department, and W. II. Snedaker, as general agent of jthe passenger depart-ment. Both will report to Superinten-dent Bennett at Salt Lake. When a certain Salt Lake paper pub-lished the sensational report that Super-intendan- t Bancroft of tho Rio Grande Western was to be retired The Times very promptly denied the rumor. This position was verified by General Man-ager Dodge who last night denied the report in to-t- There is no intention of removing Superintendaut Bancroft. Chief Engineer Boguo is still linger-ing in the Puget Sound country looking out for a right-of-wa- y for the Union Pa-cific's proposed extension from Port-land to Seattle, Victoria and Tacoma. The situation up there is becoming an exciting one on account of the ruso be-tween tho Union Pacilic and Central Pacific, which also wants to occupy that region. The Union Pacific's new equipment, when delivered, will have cost that cor-poration about $3,000,000. One hundred and thirty one locomotives at $0100 each, amount to the very snug little sum of $1,142,100.' Add to'tliis 1000 box cars at $500 apiece, 000 coal cars, 450 line stock cars, 300 lirst-elas- s fruit cars, 00 cabooses, 40 passenger coaches and 0 elegantly ftiriiisliecf chair cars, and then note how tho expense piles up. Pullman has the contract to till a largo proportion of this enormous order. General Mauager Dickenson, J. M. Barr, superintendent of the Nebraska division; J. K. Choat, superintendent of tho Colorado division, and Car Account-ant Buckingham, left Omaha Sunday for Cheyenne to attend tho adjourned meeting with a committee of conduc-tors. Much lively interest is manifested both by officials and employes as to the result of this conference. While there seems to be no fears of a strike, because the conductors arc a g body, their demands exceed what the man-agement deems just and equitable. However, the conductors say they are determined, and for that reason one of the officials made the remark that, ho anticipated trouble. A NEW MERCANTILE UNION. Article or Incorporation of the Utah Coal anil Stone Company Filed. The Scandinavian Mercantile Union filed articles of incorporation this after-noon with the country clerk. The pur-pose of tho corporation is to establish and carry on a general merchandising business, as the name of the company in-dicates. The principal place of business will be in Salt Lake, but other branches will be established at such places as the board of directors may determine upon. The capital stock of the Union is $30,000. divided into 0,000 shares of $3 each. Following are tho directors : John Hayman, president ; O. C.

OLD LOVES AGAIN A Strange Story of Separation and Ee-nni- on Truth More Wondrous " Than fiction. Ono of the strangest trausaetiions on record took placo in Zion yesterday by which Henry Strauss of Chicago gains a wife aud Fritz Lander of East Seventh street loses one, tho woman being sold by Iter husband as one would dispose of a horse. Its a queer story as can be seen. Four years ago by the side of tho Blue Rhino which rolls seaward between its purple banks, Strauss and Ids sweet-heart, Marie Wiltig, a buxom German lass, plighted their troth and vowed eternal fcally to each other, while tho twinkling stars looked down upon tho scene and the leaves on tho trees whis-pered " dast ist uiisgesichnil." They agreed to marry each other, and were happy. But then, oh! the oppression of iiion. archy. Henry received word from the powers that be that ho would be ex-pected to do his little term of service in the army of his country. That knocked tho wedding plans silly. Marie wept and Henry, or Heinrieh, blubbered, but tears could uol wash away the writing on the ukase of Bis-marck, and sadly tho young pair rcalt ized that they must wait. Wait! yes, nu eternity it seemed to them, but Heinrieh was loyal 'to his eoiinti v. so he said, aud would obey tho mandate. But he didn't. A young friend of his was going to America and ho suggested that Strauss make a sneak, 'go to fair Columbia's shores, become naturalized aud start a saloon and then give the Iron Chancel-lor the merry ha, ha. Besides lie could send for Mario and tinder the starry flag the twain could become one llcsh and lie happy. Great head. Capital idea that. At least that's what Heinrieh thought, and so he told Marie and she rejoiced, and made Heinrieh promise to scud her money to pay her passage over, kissed him several fond farewells aud in tho night ho made his exit. In tho course of time lie was duly in-stalled as a bartender in a Stato street saloon in Chicago, and by successfully watching tho cash box was in a short time able to buy Ids employer out and retail beta' and bologna for himself. TURN HIS SENT FOR JlAltlH. Over the sea went tho passage money and ono broad-foote- Gorman girl did a woiuer-wors- t hornpipe when she learned that site and her lover were to be reunited never again to separate. So tilling her sparo shawl with hand kase and pretzels, she took steerage passage and in duo course of time landed In the city of conventions and the great world's fair. She found the way to Heinrich's saloon, but Heinrieh had gone out. Tho bartender, a sort of flossy duck, not dreaming who she was, informed her that Strauss had died the week be-fore and was comfortably resting with his toes toward fho blue vault of heaven iu an adjacent cemetery. This broke Marie's heart and she wept bitter tears for a week. At tho end of that lime sho struck a sit as a domestio in a family that w as go- - ing west and wanted someone to care for a trio of healthy urchinswlio needed watching. That is how sho got to Denver, Colorado. When for want of someteing better to do she married Frilz Lauder, an ignorant chuckle-hea-who lias not sense enough to go in when It rains, lie "vas reading in dor baber about Said Lake" and concluded to come here, which lie did aud brought Mario "with him. He wont to work on a sewer whilo she devoted herself to keep-ing tho two chairs, a table and a bed, which composed their furniture, in good condition, But what was Strauss doing all this lime? Why, ho was making all Chi-cago howl because tho prospective wife of his bosom didn't show up. Ho wrote to Germany .and found she had left there aud had gono on a steamer to America. Do also discovered that sho had boarded a train at New York and started for Chicago. Later lie found that sho had been there, and had been to his saloon. Then ho paralyzed his bartender with a bung starter and put an ad in every German paper iu the United Stale's "If." Ono day Mrs. Lander discovered oue of these ads, and she sat right down and cried a few quarts of briny salt tear drops and then wrote to Heinrieh ami told him tho whole business, and ho tel-egraphed right back that he was com-ing to Zion. And ho came. Lauder didn't like the idea of giving her up, but when Heinrieh got hero sho told him that she proposed to quit him cold. He said he would havo her arrested. Then Heinrieh said if ho would keep his shirt on and not raise a fuss ho would give him one hundred cold hard dollars in cash, and when ho counted out tho boodle Lauder, who had never seen that much money before, agreed to lake it and give a quit claim deed. That is why a loving couplo about twenty-eigh- t and twenty-fiv- e years respectively are sitting side by side in the Ogden train this afternoon as the perfecting press of The Times is rolling off the story at the rate of 10,-00- 0 copies per hour. May they live long and die happy. THUEE NEW CORPORATIONS. The Payson Bank Exchange, a Commission Company and a Htock Association.

O'NEILL IN MONT CUISTO. James O'Neill will open in "Monte Cristo at the Grand Opera house next Monday night for a week's engage-ment. No actor in the his-tory of the American stage has been more intimately associated in the public mind with a favorite role than has Mr. O'Neill with his "great imper-sonation of tho Count of Monte Cristo. Mr. O'Neill is ono of the most polished and finished actors on the American stage. His portrayal of the character is well nigh perfect, and so true to nature that the strango but powerful story appears as a realization. His magnificent phy-sique, his striking demeanor, in fact, his whole conduct through tho vicissi-tudes of the romantic life of the sailor, tho prisoner and tho count, makes the character one of tho grand-est on the stage. In the play tnero is abundant scope for tho display of Mi'. O'Neil's undoubted dramatic ability. He acts with success and truth to nature tho simple sailor, and the mat with unlimited credit pursuing the God-like mission of rewarding tho good and punishing the wicked, A car load of new scenery has been painted for the production. . A RARE FAINTING. The 10,000 I'lcture Now on Exhibition iu Salt Lake. A rare work of art has recently been received in this city and is now on ex-hibition at Tho Council, No. 13 Com-mercial street. It is tho celebrated "Venus and Tannhauser," purchased in Berlin at a cost of $7,000. While many stories have been written con-cerning tho design of this wonderful work of the artist's brush, there is but one true one. Tho subject of tlio paint-ing is legendary, of course. Tannhau-ser is represented as sitting on his couch with ono hand on his harp while his other arm is grasped by Venus, tho goddess of beauty, who beseechingly invites him to go with her. The female liguro is nude and is a mar-vel, tho contour of tho form being per-fection. Tho faco view is a profile, and is wonderful, to say tho least. Tho features are of a radiantly beautiful woman, and the expression of pleading tenderness is such that tho onlooker cannot help beiug touched. Tannhau-ser too is well finished. The look on tho faco as ho halts between tho two opinions is almost mystifying, Two lives liavo been depicted by the artist. One is that of his art ; the other of tho heavenly figure who socks to allure him by Iter blandishments. Hero is the story of tho painting. Tannhauser was so devoted to his art that ho declined to wed ono of tho most beautiful women of Germany, although sho oven went so far as to have him informed that ho would be accepted. It is on this tale that the artist lias based the picture and his work tells the liuer portions of the tale as well, if not better than a printed book. No ono in the city should fail to take a look at tlio picture LOCAL BREVITIES. Wells, Fargo & Co. received yester-day bullion, $838-1- . McCornlok & Co. yesterday received llanaiier bullion, $4475.

The report published in a morning paper to tho effect that D. Van Buskirk and W. L.

He Denounces the Bill Before the House Committee. Delegate Caiuo, of Utah, addressed the house comniitteo ou territories, yes-terday ou the Mormon disfranchise-ment bill. Ho asserted that the bill prosed to disfranchise the entire Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints; that il is in its motive aud villouous in its composition, 'There is no rebellion in Utah," said Mr. Caiuo, "no insurrections. Tho peo-pi- o aro quiet, orderly and honest. Polygamous marriages in Utalt are, and for two years past have been, as rare as bigamist marriages in any state." Sir. Wilson will make another argu-ment iu opposition to the bill on Satur-day. I'ollce Court. Emily Christiauson, a k'trl about six-teen years old, was brought before Justice Laney this morning charged willi disturbing tho peace a week ago last Wednesday. Tito evidence was sufficient to convict, but iu considera-tion of sex and youlhfulness sentence was suspended during future good be-havior. Five eases of drunkenness wero dis-posed of in the usual mauuer. Tho ubiquitous Richard Thompson, after promising some clays ago to leave town in twenty-fou- r hours, was up again today charged with resisting an officer, abusive language and disturb-ing tho peace. The case was on when tho reporter left the courtroom, but the chances are that Mr. Thompson will labor at least a month for the city. - The Kansas Mutual Life Still Leads, For an examination of the prelimin-ary report of the superintendent of in-surance, D. W.
