The Salacious Tilt Bjtween a Phlagmatio Witness and a Pertinacious Lawyer in a Eape Case, A MOTHEB IN THE 0HAIE Joseph Morris Gets a Year's Befreihments for a Pour Dollar Forgery The Courts. The feature of tho criminal calendar in Judge Zane's court today was the trial of Samuel J. Bonuett foran assault upon Jano Williams with intent to com-mit rape. The prosecution was repre-sented by Assistant United States Attor-ney Oitclilow, and the defendant by Mr. Watrous. In his opening statement to the jury Mr. Critchlow said the pros-ecution would undertake to show that on the night of August Tth last Jane Williams, a child of less than thirteen Bummers, was assaulted by the defend-ant with the purpose of ravishing her, and that he was prevented from so doing by tho timely intervention of her father, who Answered Her Screams and, rushing into tho apartment, drove the defendaut away. The evidence then began. Samuel Griffith testified that on Aug-ust 7 ho arrived from Park City and went to his residence on G street. His wife was absent from home at the time and he occupied the houso with four children, J.vne Williams included among them. Sho occupied a position ou the outside furthest from the door. He was awakened by tho prosecutrix, who cried, "Pa, pa, pa." Witness wout into the room and saw the man in the guilty position. Witness "identified liennett as tho man. Defendant was in his shirt sleeves and wore a pair of pants, supported by a belt. Witness landed A Itlow Under Ilia Ear, and then led him out. Ho wanted to compromise the case, which the witness objected to and the mother coming she threatened to kill him. Witness then took defendant down the street and 'turned him over to an officer, who de-parted with liini in the direction of po-lice headquarters, liennett had visited the house the previous evening in com-pany with a friend and played some music. W itness preferred charges against liennett for assaulting him while on the route to tho city jail. If s unic Griffith, mother of the took tho witness' stand and with a rugged Henglish baccent testi-fied that on the night of August 7 last she left tho house with her children in custody of it. Three of the children oc-cupied one bed, and owing to The Kxcesstv Heat Jane took an independent bed at the foot of that occupied by the other chil-dren. Upon her return she found lien-nett at tho front gate and in charge of her husband, liennett left his belt at the house and Annie Kay Ion ml it on the bed. Defendant broke and ran and I said, "Don't you run; Pll shoot joti." Witness held the pris-oner while her husband went into the house and dressed. Officer liirkner look charge of the defendaut. Witness subsequently made an examination of the child and found evidence corrobo-rative of her story. Tho spectators at this juncture were dismissed from the chamber and Mr. Wiitious began his examination. The curtain was slowly but surely raising on A Racy Seen - and a salacious dialogue. The little black eyes that revolved in their sockets began to snap and spit forth sparks of fire, while the lips of the witness curled in superb scorn. "Where were you on tho night of the alleged outrage?" demanded Mr. Wat-rous with an aggressive air. "Down town," replied the witness with a nervous twitch in her chair. "And you left homey" "At 3 o'clock." "At what hour did you return?" "At 10 o'clock." "What were you doing during the interval between II aud 10?" "I was at my mother's house until 7 or 8 o'clock. "Where did you go then?" "I came up tow n." "Where did you stop?" "I didn't stop anywhere." "How long did you remain?" "Where?" "Anywhere? Did you not visit Pracock's Haloon?" "No sir; not that night." "S'motlier night, eh? Did you not meet a brother of the defendant in Pea-rock-saloon." "Yes sir, after Sam liennett was ar-rested." "What did you drink?" " Two glasses of beer." "Yes; zwei bier? And then you started for 'anywhere' again? Were you not arrested that night in the sa-loon?" "No, sir; on the sidewalk." "What for?" "Vagrancy." "And was sentonced to thirty days in jail?" "Yes, sir; my friends advised me to plead guilty and pay a lino. They didn't line me but sent me up for thirty davs." "Exactly. Did you not Off-rt- o Abandon This Case if Bennett paid you $25?" "No sir; that's what they offered me." "Who offered you?" "Bennett." "l)id you not write him a note to that effect?" "No; you wroto nie a note." "Who did?" "You did." "I'll give you $100 if you can produce it." Tho last few speeches had a visible effect on counsel for defense nud a run-ning lire wss kept up until adjourn-ment, tho crowd in the meantime lin-ing the lobbies and approaches to the court room and haunting the keyhole for hours to not a slender dish of scan-dal. The trial is still in progress. f'ourt NoifS. The Moss murder trial will engage the attention of the court ou Monday morning.

THEY 1LUANT IT. All the Members of the Beal Estate Ex-change Express Themselves in Favor of Granting Bacon's Petition, PE0SPE0T8 fOE A HEW BEACH. In Anticipation of the New Road, Prop-erty West of the Jordan is in Better Demand. There was a good attendance at tho meeting of the real estate exchange this morning nnd the members had shaken themselves together with a firm determination to do business. All reported a better feeling in tho realty market and increased inquiry for prop-erty; both with a view to purchase, for speculation and immediate improve-ment. Nearly every one bad received a score of letters of inquiry and re-quests for information concerning op-portunities, immediate and future pros-pects, etc. Tho principlo theino of discussion among the dealers was the proposition and petition of Mr. Bacon to the city council in reference to tho purchase of Pioneer square for depot purposes in consideration of the building by him-self and associates of tho Deep creek railroad. Thero was more than a unani.uous feeling in favor of the couucil granting tho petition; it was eniphatio and pronounced, all concur-in- g in tho opinion, that the council would make a very grave mis-take and would fail to voice the wishes and sentiments of the people the tax payers, if they did not grant it. One member remarked that he could deliver a piece of acreage as close in as the square for less money than liacon offered. All woro united in expressing themselves that the price offered was liberal iu the extreme. The legality of tho question, as to whether the city had the right to make a deed of the propet-- for tho purposes intended was then discussed, all agreeing that the city had pur-chased it some years ago, real ly as a speculation, and as it had never been dedicated for park purposes tho city had the unquestioned right to make the transfer. This deci-sion was concurred in so universally by men who were emphatic iu their opinions and that they knew more about law than "old Macksione," that that question may bo considered as settled. No offers or wants were booked with the exception of one request for loan of $2000. Several of the members reported an in-creased inquiry for lots aud acreage west of the Jordan and on the line of tne new road iu anticipation that it would be built. And Tills le leather (lood News, Too, It is authoritatively asserted in ex-clusive financial circles, and was so stated to the reporter, that John W. Young had positively secured the nec-essary funds to go on with his long con-templated road connecting this city with Antelope Island. It is well known that the grade between the city and the lake is almost ready for the rails at this time, and engineers assert that tbe pil-ing on which the rails from the shore to the island are to be laid, pre-sents no difficulties which cannot be readily overcome. This part the work, however, has never been con-sidered as interfering with the success of the project. Midland Investment Company, The Midland Investment company of West Second South street is platting and will as soon as completed and streets are graded place on the market at0 acres within the city limits on the north sido. The property will be sold in five and ten acre lots aud make line sites for suburban residences. The company will drill for natural gas in this prop'erty, That gas is there was demonstrated some time sinco sinking a well. The matter will be thorougly investigated and if struck in sullicieut quantities will be used to light up that portion of the city. A New Ilench and Grand Hotel. It has long been a cherished wish and scheme of Mr. Young to establish a new beach, build a splendid hotel and make a popular and fashionable resort on the island, for which purpose it possesses very desirable requirements, as there is said to be an unrivalled bathing beach there and a beautiful site for a resort. The ride across tbe lake, with tho de-licious and invigorating breezes putting tone and vigor iuto the system, would be a delightful recreation and would make the place popular at once. A Movement Toward Warm Springs, J. C. Lett & Son had a customer who was desirous of securing a large lot in tho vicinity of the Warm Springs if something suitable could be found.

Under the rules of tho Western Traf-fic association, it is allowable for e lines in any territory to make certain agreements as to rates to points common to all, and by filing a copy of such agreement with tho chairman of the division of the Western association to which they belong they may take such matters as nre agreed upon among themselves out of tho jurisdiction of tho division. Tho Colorado Utah lines h.tvo for several years had a definite but un-written agreement as to the mainten-ance of rates, etc, between Coloiado and Utah common points, and it has worked well, so that they do not wish to have those matters under the juris-diction of the TransMissouri Freight as-sociation, and the meeting was for the purpose of putting their agreement into writing in order to file it with the Western association. Until now the Colorado Midland was not in the Colorado-Uta- association, as previous to the opening of the Grand Junction railway it did not figure in the Utah business, but since that tinio it has becomo a factor and it was taken in and assented to the original agree-ment which has been in force between the Union l'acilic, Denver & Rio Grande and Kio Grande Western lor a long time., Railroad Notes.

P. increasing the local freicht rates. The manager of the Co-op Wagon and Machine company had twenty-eigh- t teams haul a lot of imple-ments from Ogden to Logan and the charges and time made were less than the railroad would have done. A rumor has been afloat for more than a week in railway circles to the effect that J. V. Parker, assistant gen-eral freight agent at Kansas City, had been requested by the new manage-ment to resign. It is learned from a re-liable source that the rumor is true. The successor of Mr, Parker has not been named, but it is possible he may not have a successor and that the office will be abolished. DEEP CRMClliPTER Expression of Citizens on One of tbe Mjst Vital Questions That Ever Game Up Before tha Oity Council. BACON AND THE POET BLOCK. What's to Hinder Salt Lake Prom Acting Generous Like Other Citiss and Invite Enterprise to Locate Here. "The Times last evening did nobly on the Deep t'reek road question," said Judge Wampler. "Keep it before the public. (Jive the outsido world to un-derstand Salt Lake is alive. Tell them the Deep Creek road will do more sub-stantial good to tho city in a liuancial and commercial way than anything that could possibly occur Tha couu-cil will surely make some satisfactory arrangement with the old Fort block which will enable the promoters of the proposed road t go ahead with the work." Similar remarks were heard In of-fices, on the streets aud else tv here. Tho question has reached such a stata that men, women and children are talking Deep creek all the while. Progressive people have caught the spirit of the project aud there is no knowing where it will end. It has tackled the moss-backer- s aud they are wiping their glasses and reading what The Times has to say editorially aud locally about the project. They know too well that beyond the Great Salt Lake desert lies a land of wealth, w hich if developed, will add to the riches of Utah. They shrug their shoulders aud seem satislied to pass the balance of their days in ways that are old and shambling, God pity tho man who says: "I have had enough and am satisfied." Of what good is such a man to this city if he docs not in return strive to advance the interests of the place and people who for years wero his patrons? "Ho that does good to another man does also good to him-self; not only in the consequence, but in the very act of doing it." True, tho satislied aud contented man may pay his little tax with great grum-bling, he may give a dime to the blind, he may be the idol of his family, and at night he may lie down to rest at peace with the world and have no thought for the morrow. This old world has just many such men. Hut how are they es-timated by their less fortunate breth-ren? What in all the wido world is more beautiful to behold than a publio benefactor? A man of energy, progress, sense, and full of the spirit of determi-nation to help the place where he made his means? This line of thought was knockea out by a realty man who met the scribe and said: "The Deep Creek enterprise is worse than tho itch. Xo use getting vacci-nated tho thing is too contagious, rich and poor have it and the city council is going to pull itself out of the soup of public disfavor by allowing the old Fort block to become a business spot. I have been thinking that any other city that desires to grow and prosper would give the block to the Deep creek people on a silver salver. Listen while I tell what Pueblo has done to encourago various enterprises to locate there. She gave $'.'00,000 in land and money to the Missouri Pacific Kailroad co'mpany, $125,000 in land and money toward the erection of the Philadelphia smelter, $125,000 in land and cash to build a mineral palace, $T)0,0(K) to Stearn & Kogers for their plant and the people erected the new opera house. The total is some-thing over $.".00,01)0. Not satisfied with this the Commercial and Manufacturers club will raise $1,000,000 in land and cash to foster aud promote the manu-facturing interests of Pueble. Oue of the peculiar features of the club is that uo real estate man shall hold office. "Will you tell me what Salt Lake has done in a similar direction? Not a single thing as far as I can learn. Why in the little city where my eastern home is the couucil offers land free and exempt from taxation for a term of years to all manu-facturing enterprises to locate there. The result is several new fac-tories have been established and their pay rolls cause thousands of dollars to circulate. 1 went back to the place last summer and was delighted with the spirit of progress which prevails sinco the Hip Van Winkle sleep has been dispelled. There is nothing like gener-osity when a town is to bo increased in population and enterprise. Salt Lake would bounce if some such spirit was shown. "I noticed by The Times of last even-ing that a denominational college may be established here, the building to cost $100,000. What is the matter with of-fering special inducements for this col-lege? Why not have it here aud thus aild one more institution of learning to Salt Lake and let tho country know-tha- t as an educational center the oity is unsurpassed. We cannot have "too many schools and they are needed at once. The public schools are not what they should be. If that old commoner, Thaddetis Stevens, was alive aud paid Salt Lake schools a visit ho would be disgusted with them. "Hut back to tho Deep creek enter-prise. Hrother Bacon's offer of JISO,-00- 0 for tho Fort block is surely gener-ous enough. When he made this offer tho public was surprised. Men asked of one another if Mr. Hacon had gone wrong? Ho appears to. be all right and I have heard nothing about taking him down to Provo for a vacatiou. I hear Judge Wampler has stopped taking ono of the morning Bheets because it editorally got its back up against the idea of letting Mr. Hacon have the block at any price. Queer act indeed for a paper that gets a living from the public. Now is the time for the papers to advocato Deep creek all they possibly can. What matters it if Mr. Hacon and associates do get a remuneration for their en-terprise? They deserve to. One thing is sure, they cannot get all of it. You and I and everybody will bo the better for having such a' line enter this city. We may not have it handed to us like dividends but it will reach us in various wavs. The preseut genera-tion will not live always and it should leave a prosperous city to its children. With a strong pull, a long pull and a pull altogether we will have the Deep creek road a thing of reality." t 'Colorado-lta- h Association. Denver News. An important meeting of the Colorado-- Utah association was hold in Denver the other day in the office of Traffic Manager Hughes of tho Denver & Kio (irande.

FORT OOUGLAS AND ZION- - They are Linked Together With Uands nf .steal. The citizens of Zion regard the com-pletion of the line of street railroad to Port Douglass with uo small degree of satisfaction aud pride, us it gives rapid and cheap trausit from the city to the military camp on the hill, which has always been regarded as one of our "show-places,- where stran-gers might be taken and given a comprehensive and panoramic view of mountain, lake and valley, unsurpassed iu beauty by any combination of scenery in the world. This line has long been regarded as al-most a necessity, the constantly in-creasing demand for cheap facilities for leaching the east bench, Mt. Olivet cemetery aud tho post itsulf making it almost imperative that it should be built. Yesterday afternoon, everything being iu readiness for the dedica-tion of the line. Superintend-ent Reed and Secretary Wells ex-tended an Invitation to a few friends and the members of tho Salt Lake press, to take a complimentary ride over the route on the first official trip. Car No. 10 was given the honor of making the initial excursion, which started from the corner of Main and Secoud South street in the morning to make the experimental trip, and test the abilities of the motor to mount the grade before the more formal opening in the afternoon; this was so far success-ful as to more than meet the anticipations which the officers had entertained and pleased them amazingly. it was therefore witn no fear of what the result would be that the more formal affair of tho afternoon was undertaken. The Westiughouso motor is used and they glide along over the rails with scarcely any noiso and without percep-tible jar, the trip being made without special incident, in 22 minutes, with one stop at the brewery. The new line is the continuation of the Second South and Tenth East liue, tho construction ou the connection of which was begun on the 1st of De-cember. When the ascent of the bench is made the grade approximates 7 per cent, yet the car surmounts it without special difficulty. When the track is thor-oughly settled and ballasted, none whatever will be experienced. When the Fort Douglas terminus was reached Jako Morris, who had been taken aboard at the brewery, consti-tuted himself a committee of one on reception and entertainment and con-ducted the distinguished guests to the "enntcen" and endeavored to induce them to shoulder large and lusty jags, but newspaper men are impervious to such worldly affairs, and the party pre-pared for the return to town, making the trip in 1!) minutes. Superintendent Reed informed the reporter for Tub Times that he hoped to be ablo to make regular trips by Monday, when it will be formally thrown open to the public, thus giving to all an opportunity to visit one of the most delightful and interesting points contiguous to Salt Lake for the lowprioe of 10 cents. Hereafter the parades at the fort are likely to be witnessed by largely augmented audiences in com-parison with those that have been en-tertained befote. m A CARD TO THE PUBLIC. A certain morning journal of this city seems to be better posted on my inten-tions than I am myself, as will be ob-served by their statement of the Slst inst., to the effect that as soon as I had settled my business affairs 1 contem plated moving to Denver. Now I wish to inform my friends and the publio in general that at no time during the past twelve years have I ever contemplated going to Denver or any other place, nor have I ever given the least Intima-tion to any person or persona of any in tention on my part to leave Salt Lake City. On the contrary, they have al-ways been informed that I am located here for good. I have been identified with varieus business enterprises in this oity since 1878, and for the past six years in the insurance business representing the leading companies of America and Europe, in tire, life and accident, my office for the past year baa been and still is in the Progress block, room 614 and 5115, where lor one of my repre-sentatives can always be found, and I will be pleased to have all my old friends call at any and all times, and will also be delighted to form the ac-quaintance of all new comers, and have them bear in mind that the agency of Louis Hyams is one of the largest if not the largest in the country, the combined cash cipital and assetts represented in my office being over 1200,000,000.
