It recommended that the proposition of Mr. Bacon in behalf of the Deep Crock Railway company for the purchase of old Fort block he accepted, the city to reserve title until tho raiiroad be con-structed and operated for "00 miles. Tho report also requires tho road to bo in operation over tho entire distance and denies any extension of time for the beginning or completion of con-struction. It also asks the petitioner lo bind himself to secure the city against all possible harm and annoyance in the transfer. Alderman Pickard, influenced by a very peculiar and erratio policy, moved to set aside the report of tho committee for one week. Procrastination seemed to bo tho cloak, according to the opin-ion of the lobby, for some sinister pur-pose, and brought Aldermen Parsons, Noble and Pembroke to their feet. , Alderman Pembroke was quite an-imated. He had reason to be. He hnd the future of the citv at heart. In deference to Alderman Pack-ard the matter had already gone over for a week and he deemed it nigh time to break away from barnaclism and the doctrines of the fogy that had held en-terprise in restraint for so long a time. Alderman Hall was surprised at tho report, coining as it did in his opinion, as an overthrowal of the opinion of the city attornoy who in his unfathomed wisdom had rnloil that the ground was not salable. He charged tho promoters of tho Deep Creek railway with an effort to land a sharp trick. Alderman Pembroke took exceptions Bnd presented them iu vigorous lan-guage. Ho urged the right of the city to dispose of the property and backed his debate with tho opinion of all the leading attorneys. Mr. liaeon. representing tho Deep Creek railway, was given per-mission to speak to tho question. Alderman Mall, in the meantime apologizing for his remarks and stating that they were inspired by assertions of the council. Mr. Bacon congratulated the gentleman that he had found some outlet through which to crawl and said that the proposition was purely and wholly of a business nature. The city noed "entertain no fear as to tho conse- - j quences. His clientage and himself wore prepared to assume all costs in the event of litigation. tilings were then made quite riotous by Alderman Hall and Pickard, both of Whom took the lloor Pickard objected to the rights of a civilian upon the lloor and after this interruption Mr. B.tcon was permitted to finish his remarks. City Attorney Merritt followed with an explosion and asked that the "gag" rule be applied to the lobby. Alderman Hall supported the posi-tion of tho committee who had the good of the public at heart. The report went over for a week after Mr. Hall apologized for his rather heroic use of the queen's English. !The eommitteo on waterworks re-ported favorably on the petition cf E. f.J Craw et al. for water mains on Third Scmth, and on the petition of D. Wood-mlanso- e et al. for the same on Fourth North. The petition of the Salt Lake Brewing company for a connection on Ti nth East was also granted. The re-- p( irt was adopted.

A WITNESS GETS FACETIOUS But it Checked Up and Bemindod That Comedy ia Out of Plaoe Today's Testimony. There was a long and monotonous wait before the curtain raised on the secoud day of tho Moss-Langto- trag-edy this morniug. Judge Zane was eagerly looked for as the minute hand fell ou tho schedule hour, but failing to materialize a voluntary committee reported that he w as indisposed. Judgo Anderson was found itr his moorings above and closing the law and equity docket came down and took the bench. Asa contingency ho stated that unless counsel waived all right to except to whatever irregularity there might rest in tho alternation of the judges he would not proceed. Counsel for both sides accepting tho conditions die trial was then proceeded with. Stenographer Mcfitirriu was in-structed lo read the transcript of Mr. Moshy's testimony which was as fol-lows: Was a resident of Park City and was acquainted with deceased in his lifo time. Mo also knew Moss. Wit-ness is tho proprietor of tho Capital saloon ou Main street, the scene of the killing. The difficulty oc-curred on the night of .Septem-ber 101 h. Moss and some other par-ties were talking about mounting a deer's head, w hen witness atked them to have a drink, which they did. Lnngton came in afterward and called up some of his friends to drink. They did so, after which Langton walked around and remarked: "Merc, Moss, I want to speak to you." Tho men went to tho end of the bar and talked for a time. Witness heard Langton say: "You're a lickspittle for Tom Kerns." Moss re-plied: "I am a lickspittle for no one," to which Langton rejoined, "you're a son of a b h," at the same time striking Moss. The latter staggered back, and, drawing a pistol, lired. Langton went outside and witness followed him. Me could not see him, and thought he was going to come in at the side door and ordered it closed. Tho conversation was regarding a certain letter, although witness couldn't tell anything more about tho subject. Witness Mosby auditing the tran-script, Mr. Snyder, associate, counsel for the defense, requested the witness to state what interval there was between tho blow and the shot. Witness it could scarcely hao ex-ceeded an instant. Sheritf John L. Weber testified that he knew Langton and the defendant. Kuew the latter fur eight years; well ac-quainted with him not iiitimately; was in Mosby & Nichols' saloon on the night of iho shooting; don't think 1 was there to exceed live minutes when the shoot-ing occurred; Langton and Moss were staudiug at the bar; I asked for a party who I was Informed had gone out; Squires asked mo to loan him a dollar; he asked everybody to have a drink; 1 took a cigar; Langton and Moss joined the party: getting my cigar, I walked around Moss and Langton to get a match; they were facing each other, with their sides to the bar; while light-ing my cigar Langton told Moss he was a lickspittle for Tommy Kerns. ton mnke the tatement. The dying statement was introduced in evidence. It contained the following subscribed to by deceased: On the 2:M of July. 1HH0, I was accused by Moss and Kcarns of writing a leiter, which had my name to it but .which 1 did not write, said letter boing one written from here concerning an alleged mur-der in Nebraska and connecting Thom-as Kearns with it. I denied it; a fight followed and 1 got the worst of it. Last night (September 10) I met Moss; I asked hiiu about the letter; he said he did not have it; 1 told him he had been very ollicious in the matter and that I wanted the letter that I had a suspi-cion who wrote it. Me jumped back, drew out his pistol and shot me. I did not raise a hand to strike him nor at-tempt to strike him. Cross-examine- witness stated that ho was one of the parties who picked up Langton and supported him to bis room. Geo. Wanning being sworn testified that he was a resident of Park City; know Langton; Moss and Langton had some words in my restaurant; Moss and Kearns came in and wero followed by Langton; they had quite a conversation; they took out a letter and asked Lang-ton if that was his signature; Langton said no; Kearns said Langton had de-nied it too often; Moss said Kearns was the best friend he ever had and he would dio for him; they all appeared to bo very much excited. Cross-examine- Heard Moss say Kearns was his only true friend and he'd die for him. Joseph MeGee of the police force of Park City testified to having known Langton; saw a fight between him and Kearns about tho 10th of June last and separated them; saw Moss there but he took no part in it; he had no weapon that I know of. James Sodden testified as to the diff-iculty in June; Langton was knocked through the window; they fought on down the Btreet and Moss pulled out a gun. which he changed from one pocket to tho other. Moss made no effort to discharge the weapon. Court adjourned until 2 o'clock this afternoon. Moss suid, "You're a liar." Langton struck him and Moss stag goring back lired. The first knowledge witness hud of the fact that they were quarreling was when Langton called Moss a licksplittle; tho time that elapsed between tho blow and the shot was not exceeding two seconds; Moss drew the rcvolvar and discharged it instantly; saw Langton after the shoot-ing; he was not conscious; after the shot Langton turned to his left and went out very rapidly; arrested and disarmed Moss; it was a Colts revolver. The weapon with which tho fatal work hart been done was introduced, and identified as that used by the defend-ant. It was drawn from the right hip pocket. Cross examined by Judgo Dickson Was behind Langton when the shot was fired; Moss came very near going down under tho effect of the blow. Richard Squires being sworn testified as follows: Reside at Park City; was acquainted with tho defendant and with Langton; am intimately acquainted with the defendant was in the saloon on the night of tho shooting; Moss and Langton were talking at the front end of the bar; 1 come in to see the sheriff with whom I had some financial business; 1 then went out and was gone half an hour be-fore coming back; Weber and I went lo tho bar; invited Moss, Laugton and tho others to take a driuk; no one took any-thin- k except tho sheriff who took a cigar; Moss and Aleck were having a little difficult when I slapped Moss on the back and said come on aud take something; Aleck called him some name when Moss said he was a liar. Lang-ton called him a s of a b and struck Moss with his right hand on his left cheek; Moss liaggered back at au angle of 45 degrees, when a shot was fired; it was almost instanteous with the blow; it w as probably a quarter of a minute. Mr. Critchlow Do you mean fifteen seconds? , The witness Probably that. Mr. Critchlow Illustrate to the jury the manner in which tho shot followed the blow. ! Tho witness Who'll I practice oa? Laughter. Mr. Crichlow Yon understand my question sir, answer it- - Tho witness It was almost instanta-neous; saw the pistol when it was lired; Langton turned as if ho was on a pivot and wont out as if ho was shot out of a mortar; saw the wound afterwards; it was three inches to tho right and two inches above the navel; Sheriff' Wilson seized Moss' gun over tho cylinder who said "What have you done?'' Moss said, "See what ho has done to mo." Cross examined I was touching the bar when the shot was tired, a little in advance of Langton; Moss staggered at the blow; I was looking at Mors con-stantly until the shot was lired. i Witness Squires was recalled and corrected li is testimony w here it hnd reference to the location of the wound. John O'Neil being sworn tostilied that he was' present in Park City on the occasion of the tragedy; saw Langton on the corner of Park avenue where they found him the night after he wes shot; I was with hhy unt:.l ho died; he said lie "thought he had got it ami that was the last of him; he expected he was going to die. Langtou's death 'statement was ad- - tllitted by tho defense. Witness was prosonl when it was taken down in writing: he heard Lang- - investigation from the committee on buildings, and, if necessary, legal ad-vice will be introduced. Ml health compelled Miss Wilkina of the Eleventh school to ask a leave of absence for sixty days. This was granted without pny. Kills to the sum of S:G04.S0 were allowed and bills to tho amount of 130.05 were referred. The board adjourned to meet Thurs-day evening, March 5th. FOIi THE SCHOOLS" THE BOARD OF EDUCATION FAVORS THE ISSUANCE OF BONDS To the Amonnt or (000,000 For the Fur-pos- e of I'urchailng: Sites and Krtctlii( SolinolhoiMrs In Various I'srts of tho City Business Transacted, The board of education met in special session last night. The following mem-bers were present: Hiram Johnson, Geo. W. Snow, L. U. Colbath, William Nelson, Kichard W. Young, T. C. Arm-strong, W. J. Newman. The finance committee made the following report respecting the question of voting bonds for buying school sites and buildings in Salt Lake City which was adopted: Salt Lake Cm-- , Feb. 1!), 181)1. To the board of education, Gentlemen: Your committee on finance, to which, in conjunction with the commit-tee on building, sites, etc., (being in effect a committee of tho whole), was referred tho matter of the needs of the schools for additional buildings and grounds, and tho proposition to ask the people of the city to vote bonds to pro-vide tho same, have had the subject under fconsideration, and have carefully weighed the subject. Tho joint committees as above had two meetiugs, and found that tho needs of the schools are so great that to Bup-pl- y them fully and allow for a reason-able expectation of increase in the school population in the ensuing few years would require an expenditure of close upon $1,000,000. Yet, in view of the irritation of the public mind resulting from the tax levies of last year; the burdens already imposed, and tho necessity of making the school work a growth rather than a transplantation, it was decided to ask but for about one-thir- d of the sum named, at tho present time, and they recommend to this board that an election be called for tho purpose of getting author-ity from the people to issue bonds for the procuring of sites and the erection of school buildings, to the amount of $300,000, of which, as near as may be, sixty thousand dollars be spent in each of the live municipal wards. This will give much-neede- relief to the present crowded condition of the schools, will place buildings more advantageously as regards centers of population than the present rented buildings are lo-cated, and will give the pupils and teachers tho advantage of structures hotter suited to their work, both as re-gards convenience and sanitation. It is the purpose to proceed as speedily as possible, and have the new buildings in readiness for the opening of the new school year, in September next, or as soon thereafter as practicable. The details of the proposition were referred by tho joint committee to tho finance committee for preparation. This committee has had two meetings on the matters thus delegated to it and recommends as follows: 1. That the election be called as soon as practicable under the law, and that in preparations therefor the president and clerk of the board invite the coun-sel of Mr. P. L.
