Show THE SALT LAKE TIMES. WEILNKSDaV. MARCH 4, 1891 5 the Reason will be the most prosperous we have ever experienced." These are but sample commentaries upon the action of tin- - council. Au en-tire volume could be tilled with them. . GET OUT YOHK SHOVEL The Deep Oreek Railway Became an As-sured Eaalty by Action of the Council. PEELING OF THE MASSES. Work for the Unemployed and an In-creased Population for Pros-perous Zion. That public interest in the fate of the old Fort block proposition had risen to an altitude even loftier than the high "C" of the diva, was made apparent long beforo the schedule hour for the council to convene, in the presence of a tremendous troop of taxpayers who filled the chamber and at 7:11(1 o'clock blocked all entrance to it. There was some lobbying in a quiet, unobtrusive way, and the spectators were growing manifestly more impatient as the hands on the clock registered the lleeting hours. It was twenty minutes after schedule tune when Mayor Scott lowered the gavel and the following aldermen ans-wered roll call: Pendleton, Spafford, Anderson, Pickard. Heath, Pembroke, Wolstenholmo, Armstrong, Noble, Kar-ric- Hall, Lynn. James and Parsons. Tho minutes of the previous meeting were read and approved. I'nder the head of petitions: J. K. Dooly asked the right to lay a pipe in conformity with the ordinance. Referred. Dallas & Hedges were allowed the use of street. Louis & Parry asUed a lease on sand beds across the river. Keferred. The petition of George Goddard and others tor light in Gothlard's court was referred to the committee on improve- - Fort block Alderman Pembroke moved to reopen the report of the majority and that it be adopted. Alderman Hall moved as a substitute the adoption it the minority report. Alderman Pembroke had" anticipated tho tactics of the enemy, however, and launched the previous question. Alderman James asked for enlighten-ment upon the liucon proposition, its terms, etc. For this purposo Mr. Pembroke sus-pended the call on the previous ques-tion. Alderman Hall somewhat animatedly charged the author of the previous question with an effort to shut out the second to his motion and gag his col-league. The mayor suggested that the motion of Alderman Hail on the minority re-port would be entertained sooner or later aud the council might just as well recogni.o that fact. Alderman Pembroke appealed from the chair and the vote resulting lu a tie the appeal was declared lost. The yote recurring to Aldermen Hall's motion to adopt the minority re-port it was lost on a viva voce. Alderman Lynn asked that Mr. proposition be read before the vote was taken on the motion to adopt tho ma jority report, which implied tho acceptance of the proposition. Alderman Pembroke suspending the previous qucstiou and releasing the proposition it was again read. Then Alderman Hall got a little color in his alabaster-lik- e visage and demand-ed the reading of tho minority report, as it defined his position and expressed his sympathies exactly. Alderman Fembroko consenting the minority report was read as follows: The undersigned, a member of the committee on public grounds, respectfully dissents from the report, of the majority uf Haiti committee, recommending tli.it an opt:on be given to .1. li. Macon to purchase the i'loneer square within tv.oy. ais at the price of jl.'in.duu, condition it that within that time said Huron or his asso-ciates or assigns shall complete and tUip, an 1 have in opera ten a standard guage railroad from Bait Lake Citv to Deep rreeii. and be-yond, nt t lie length of at least 'J 0 miles.

The petition of T. O. Angell asking for the removal of the Union Pacifio Fwitch on Kighth South street was re-ferred to the committee on streets. The claim of St. Marks hospital for $so40, was rolerrud to the board of health. Stanlwell & Demerest asked a remis-sion of license. Beferred. The claim of Mrs. K. M. Merrill, in the sum of $'.'78.10, for the boarding of city prisoners was placed on appropria-tion, as was also that of A. J. Burt in the sum of tf;iH.oo. A petition was read from Wm. W. Rivers and others asking an extension uf water mains from the corner of Third South and Fourth West streets was re-ferred to the committee on water mains. Dallas - Hedges rendered a bill in tho sum of 1.",0 as the balance in full for architects fees on tho now engine houses. Petition of W. Kiddle and others ask-ing for grading road west of the Jordan w as referred. A petition was read from certain resi-dents of the Sixth ward remonstrating against tho sale of the old Fort block. Tho clerk The petition is said to bear the signature of tiOO persoris. I don't know; I have not read it. Laid over to a later hour on motion of Alderman Pembroke. An adverse petition was read from taxpayers and freeholders of the Sixth ward demanding a sale of the block or an expenditure of moneys as reported iu Tiik TniES yesterday on its im- - jirovement and redemption froi.i the tramp and thug. jr-- ' Mayor Scott announced that he had occasion to absent himself for a fhort time in (California and asked that a mayor pni torn be designated. The names of Aldermen Pickard, Parsons and James were presented and went to a vote with tho following t: rio'cnd 6 J ai s ns 7 .'auis 1 Alderman Parsons was declared duly elected and the mantle will bo dig-nilie-by that gentleman during tho ii.ib irru no iinnir mm nnu nim i u public use MS a public s piare by acts and dec-larations of former councils of fids city, show-ing a clear intention to dedicate said square to public UM. a - Hecause the setlltiirof said Hipiare for less than the real value Is heinlu the credit of the city to a private enterprise. vh ch s forbidden by the act of Uomoess of July mi. ,81. a Hecause put lie property belont;:mr to the roriMiratiou of Salt Lake City can only be law-fully disposed of for a purpose and the 'aiding of railroad construction by sub-- s dies, b tner lu land or money, Is not a cor-porate purpose. 4 - Her ausH all public property 1s held In trust by bait Lake City and ran only be dis-posed of legally for the benefit of the city as a municipal corporation and any other (llspo-- l tlon would be lu violation of law and uitainst public policy. W. L. I'lCKAHD. . Alderman James confessed that he was not yet satisfied as to when the pe-titioner intended under the majority re-port to take possession of tiie block. Alderman Parsons got to Mr. Jamo ear and tilled it full of enlightenment. The majority report and the adop-tion of Mr. Bacon's proposition was now on the verge of a decisive vote. Alderman Pickard sprang to his feet. He wanted to talk. Ho had come loaded aud the chargo was distressing him. It was bound to go oil if it had to go accidentally. The coup was a desperate ono however lustreless. He determined to straddle the previous question, a feat that has rarely been ac-complished, and launched a motion to lay it on the table. But the stubborn and untamed clause iu dishing refused to be straddled and the slumbering vol-cano of eloquence subsided in his chair. The solicitor then called for light-d- id the proposition Imply that Mr. Ba-con should take immediate possession of the block or was it only on option: Referred to the majority report that was now about to be submitted to a vote. No further effort at fillibustering the vote was then called for on its adoption with the following result:- Ayes Parsons, Pendleton. Heath, Pembroke, SpalTord, Worstholm, Arm-strong, Noble, Lynn and Carriek 10. Nays Anderson, Pickard, Hall antl James 4. The majority report having prevailed the lobby began to empty with unmis-takable evidences of its approval, tho sergeant at arms w as caiieu on to re-store quiet aud the regular order of business was proceeded with. Councilman SpalTord offered a reso-lution providing for an ordinance regu-lating the granting of liquor licenses, which shall provide for the protection of churches and schools, and shall for-bid any saloon existing within a cer-tain distance, to be designated, of any church or schoolhouse. Alderman Pembroke urged the pro-priety of referring tho matter to the committee on municipal laws. It was so ordored, Mr. Pickard putting him-self on record as against the motion. The petition of the Franklin avenue theater for a license authorizing it to sell liquors was called up, the pro-testing communications were attached to it and it was referred back to the committee, with instructions to report it as early as possible. The ordinance regulating pawnbrok-ers was referred back to tho committee on motion of Alderman Lynn. The Silver communica-tion was taken up and referred. The following appropriations were made: Mrs. E. M. Merrill SS7.10 Andrew J. Hurt .".sh.iVi liallas A Hodges 4tt.h0 tl Silver 67.0U Council adjourned. next thirty days.

If there were any counter currents they kept themselves out of sight, of The Tim KS "signal service" obsorvor. Ex-pressions as thick as hail stones in au April shower pronounced it a match-less triumph in behalf of enterprise and prosperity. Especially was this true of the taxpayers and the plucky dealers in Salt Lake dirt, it was a day of rejoicing for them. On the other hand tho feelings of the cor-poral's guard who had opposed it for reasons that were deeper rooted than the ambitions of an egotistical old man, roso to a high temperature of chagriu. They wcrenotouly defeated; they were rebuked. . "It will exert a tremendous influence on eastern capital" remarked a prominent taxpayer "and I pre-dict that it will bring ten thousand peo-ple to Salt Lake City. It is the signal for those railroads that have been pre-paring to tap tho resources of this country that they can come on and re-ceive a cordial welcome from the pub-lic spirited citizens of the territory- - It will say to the trunk line with a ter-minus at Denver that young Utah awaits it with open and cordial em-brace. We've got reason to rejoice." "And that's not all," chimed a "it will disseminate those hills over there with 20,000 knights of labor. Their gilded vaults will furnish Zion with an unrivalled source of revenue and riches. The man who is out of em-ployment also has reason to rejoice if he v,inta employment.

Alderman Pembroke 1 would like the advice of tho city solicitor on the right of the city to transfer a piece of ground that has beeu dedicated to tho city for public purposes. I understand that ho contends that it can't be done, and I desire to vote intelligently on the matter. Solicitor lieg pardon, I have not said so. bill that the alienation of public parks from any other purpose, must be done by legislative action.

Under the head of the sale of the old Printers' Home at Colorado Springs. Major K. M. llynon responded to "Snlt Lake City." llespite the late Welsh celebration the major showed that he was capable of. handling such a great subject as this city. lie came from Pittsburg, the home of labor organizations. The Plumb-ers, Steam and Gai Fitters union is the backbone of the labor organiza-tion of Suit Lake and all of the mem-bers are men of ability. All of my friends and relatives aro laboring men and 1 am proud of it. The labororgan-i.ation- s are patriotic bodies and will ever defend the star spangled banner. Phil Corcoran made a telling speech on "Labor's Silver Lining." Thirty or forty years ago few mechanics could nay 1 want so much for my labor. Then long bonis were the rule. Today we liiul all is changed. The working-me-by patience and courage have been rocognized in the balls of legislature aud congress. The spirit of arbitration is spreading among all laboring classes. No longer are labor organizations entirely secret bodies and their exis-tence withheld from the world. The dawn is breaking, a greater and more glorious dav is coming and the work-ingnie-will receive better recognition ami treatment. A LABOR UNIONS' DAY. Organized Labor in All Its Branches Does Honor to the Prmidcnt of tlia federated Trades. BANQUET AT THE TEMPLETON. An Enthusiastio Meeting at Mark's Hall-- Mr. Gompors Eutertains His Au-dien- cs for Three Honrs. Yesterday was a day long to be re-membered by tho federated trades. All day Jong the streets were occupied with tho members of the labor organizations wearing the bright ribbons cf their uuious. Kveryone seemed to vie with his brother in doing houer to the distinguished guest of the city. He was taken everywhere and treated with the utmost consideration, due his posi-tion, bis triumphs and his brains. The Parade. Swimming seas of mud are not pro-pitious in which to conduct a success-ful paratle. For this reasuu tho parade was not as large, or did it provoke as much interest as it otherwise might. Hold's band was followed in tho procession, which only look in a small portion of the business center. Tito line of march was down Main street to Third South aud back to Mark's hall on South Hrigliam street. Meeting nt Mnrk'a Hall. It was a night not soon to be forgot-ten by tho members of the Federated Trades of this city. Nearly every mem-ber of the organization turned out to do honor to tho occasion ami to their guest.

President (lumpers spoke fully three hours, and was freiiueutly interrupted pers. As early as 7:"0 o'clock there was a large crowd in the hall who were early u the scene in the securing of seats. A generous sprinkling of ladies in be-coming attire lent enchantment and in-spiration to tho scene. Everybody was iu good humor and most enthusiastic in the causo which had enticed them from comfortable homes and attractive firesides. The Hand Welcomed. When the band entered the hall they were greeted with generous enthusiasm which was repeated on the entrance of Governor Thomas, who was imme-diately shown to a seat on the platform. During the interval intervening before President Gompers entered the build-ing, the band discoursed a patriotic air, Hie th C'onqimriiig-- lluru Conies. When President Gompers entered, ac-companied by President Sleater, he was greeted with enthusiastic plaudits. There was seated on tho platform Hon. J. C. Lett, lion. O. W. Powers, Colonel (). J. Hollister, it. G. Sleater, K. M. Bynou and Governor Arthur L. Thomas. President Sleater in a brief and happy manner introduced Governor. Thomas as the chairman of tho meeting, on assuming which he spoke of the pleas-ure it afforded him to preside, not only on account of Mr. Gompers, but be-cause of tho cause which had brought them together. The labor problem had been growing with each succeeding, year. During the century of our na-tional life the workingmen had always shown they were tho true friends of the union, and he believed the day would come when the clash of capital and la-bor and their conflicting interests would ceaso forever. Ilo then introduced Mr. Gompers, who was cheered repeatedly, and who was kept bowing for .several minutes before tho enthusiasm which 1... I. : . by cheers, which were repeated at its close, lie is a very logical reasoner and incisive talker, has a graceful pres-ence, but none of the tricks of tho orator. l'rrsetitatton of a Cane. At the conclusion of tho address of Mr. Gompers Mr. Sleater stepped for-ward and on behalf of Salt Lake friends presented him with a very beautiful gold headed cane, inscribed: "Pre-sented to Samuel Gompers by Labor Friends in Salt Lake, March :i,'lHt." For the moment Mr. Gompers was taken at a disadvantage, but he at last found his Toice and words eamo from his lips which were indicative of the emotions which tho delicato tribute to him awakened. He spoke feelingly of the cause in which be is enlisted, of his own labors for the amelioration of labor, of his trip from east to west and tlio kindness and courtesy with which ho had been received, lie thought loo much honor was done him. He closed by an appeal for tho coal miners, who would soon have to make a desperate struggleand returned his thanks to the donors of the cane and tho hopo that he would always be deserving of their esteem and confi-dence. The Banquet. After the meeting in Mark's hall President Gompers was escorted back to hotel Tcmpletou. There a royal banquet was tendered him by the Plumbers. Steam and1 Gas Fitters union or Salt Lake city. The long tables arranged in T shape were faultlessly appointed and seventy-fiv- e covers were laid. At the head sat President Gomp-ers, Governor Thomas on his right and Judge Powers at the left, the members of the union and their guests occupying the remaining seats. The menu was served in seven courses, toasts camo after the following menu had been disposed of: Shrewsbury Oysters. Consomme a la Keyale. linked Trout, an Fine Herbs. I'omtnes Iniehess.

President tJouiper Speech. Mr. Chairman, ladies and gentlemen -- 1 he.irtily second the remarks of (Jovernor Thomas. At no time In the history of this country vvero Its laboring men at fault. When liberty was in question there we. e a lame number of people who sympathized with the cause of labor but who otld not follow tier Investigations of it to their logical fe jttetiee. We tmd it In all kinds and classes of life, whether animate or inanimate, all kinds ant chis-e- s of matter whether in l he animal or vigotable kingdoms. All classes of society, even. lore to congregate together to enhance their condi-tion. The bea-d- s of the fmests, the birds of the air, the Hsb. of the sea. so act to protect their interests. Exchanges, suuar. coffee, copper and whisky trust so organize to protect their Interests ; then why should men not or-ganize who have nothing In the world to pro-te-but their right to labor. It Is a necessity for them. The labor agitator Is the natural product of the systems of aO'lety. he Is the natural production of the eoil which make labor or.' auizat ions necessary. Hut there are men who would wish to see the labor organi-zation and the labor agitator banished from the face of the earth. Hut they are here because it Is as natural for them to be hero as it is for water to t un down hill. Lab r organ-lzat.:- is are founded In humanity, they are foimdi d In the souls and hearts of the people, and though all the Irony, sarcasm, all the shafts of vilification and abuse are hurled against them they will live, (cheers).

The opening toast was: "Our Guest and the Amer-ican Federation of Labor," by Samuel Gompers: "It is certainly a pleasure and honor to be present tonight. Our organiza-tion has been and is today too li I Lie un-derstood. The chief desire is to lift the cloud of suppression and encourage hearty in times of trouble. The lack of this is one of the lamentable features of all reforms. "When you are prepared to engage in'a labor contest make the movement a strong one. in this action there is all that is practical. Wo have much to do that will command the respect and thought of the people. I want to say that 1 feel very grateful for this reception. Not as Sam Gompers but as the representative of the great fed-eration of labor. With honest hearts and souls and honest labor we will win the battle for the right. Governor Thomas responded to Utah: Utah is larger than New Y'ork, Penn-sylvania and New Jersey. Among its resources are mountains of silver, lead and iron; of the latter there is sufficient to tho world for thriounnild .if The main objections many have against them is that th y breed discontent. We plead guilty to the charge, because it Is our purpose hi to do; to breed discontent against wrong, barbarism and Inhumanity.

The wave of prosperity is fetching the people here and in a few years more Utah will be the great empire state of the west. "The Organized Trades of Utah" was responded to by K. (J. Sleater. Tho federated trades of Utah has made it-self weil known. Tho present organ-ized unions urge organization among all bodies of working men in the city. Whatever the call may be, the federated trades will not be backward in respond-ing. Judge O. W. Powers in a happy way replied to the "Journeymen Plumbers, Steam and (rashUers Uuion." I desire to express my sympathy with the cause of labor. All theseorgauizations mean something. Tho strong right arm of the workingman is the foundation of all that is great and glorious. There is a brotherhood between us we both know how to charge. In times of trouble anil distress it is tho plumber ami gaslitter and lawyer. Wo belong to the same union. When you elevate labor you are educating men to think of something beside work. We have got to look to theworkingmen for the perpetuity of thiseountry.

Henry Wright aud Patrick Coughlin who were with them made their escape from the frail struc-ture in which they were confined, whila Ephriam Hamells and John Doe Smith) turned state's evidence and for the im-munity there was in it exposed tha whole affair. Assistant United States; Attorney Crilchlow when questioned by tho court characterized them as an hard and incorrigible set w ho) bad been a source of constant an-noyance to the authorities. The three youths tiled out in custody of tha bailiff and the door of the marshal's waiting room closed upon them. Mr. Critchlow called attention to tha presence of Samuel J. Bennett in tha court chamber and stated that the hour had arrived for him to receive sentenca ' for assault with intent to rape. Coun-- f sol for the prisoner took a position by ft Bennett who had walked briskly up to I t the bar and stood nervously before tha I j stern and avenging gaze of the court. 1 His attorney who had made a desperate light for Him read an affidavit from Officer Birkner as to the niau'jjs. cor I dition in which he UadTition' I on the uight of his appruur proper- - I absence of important 1" f Y"" 1 1 ever had induced them to forego a mo-tion for new trial and Bennett stood ready to take his medicine. "The evidenco in your case," said Judge Zane settling back in his chair and surveying the tremb-ling creature beforo bim, "shows that it was an extremely agravating one. You may have been intoxicated I don't know. Mere intoxication, how-ever, is not much of an excuse for an attempt to ravish a lisping child. Erea under the influence of liquor the mart who resorts to it has got down to tha level of the brute. Under the evidenca I do uot think you entitled to much leniency nono whatover. Man must be taught by example to respect child-hood and innocence. Your sentenca will be live years in the penitentiary." Staggering under this blow and tha awful burden of his own disgrace and humiliation, Sam Bennett almost reeled back into the arms of the sheriff, and a few hours later was ou a live years trip to the pen. Mining- l'Jxchaiiire. The exchange opened this morning in a very dull aud dispiriting way, with only four brokers in attendance and gave very little premonition of tho really good session it turned out to be when the rap of the caller's mallet con-cluded the last call. Davis was a pur-chaser of Apex, Conklin took 51)0 shares of Crescent of Bamberger, who iu his turn bought 100 Horn Silver of Steven-son. One cent advance over yester-day's quotations on Big Hole Placer was offered, but it elicited no response. Congo was the most sought for of any of the securities, 4?0 shares going at an advauco of a ev .nd a half. TnllAv Jl'TATIOSS. I y f r 9 - yi ! I I Alice...'

Tho litigation which the Northern Light has hail pending for sonio time with the Monator, is now most happily about to be settled, tho conflicting claimants wisely coming to the con-clusion that their properties would probably be tied up in the courts for several years before their rights were adjudicated, ami they thought it would pay them better to compromise and spend the money in (ievelopmfnt, rather than law. Tho Norsheru Light is at present working a force of fifteen men, with whom they are mining and marketing lot) tons of oro a month. As soon as the weather settles a small hoist of sutlicient power to sink 700 or WJ0 feet, will be placed on the property and its output increased, Tho oro that has been shipped recently has averaged from 80 to 100 ounces in silver, but it is rather dry in lead. A much higher grade could be shipped if the manage-ment thought it desirable to separate it into first and soccud class, but they have not deemed it prolilablo. A Uincovery Near Draper. A. J. Froiseth and his associates are well pleased in their developments on the Porcupine claim five miles north of Draper. They have a well defined con-tact vein between lime ami quai tzite, on which they have run a tunnel thirty-fiv- e feet, in the face of these is a streak of ore about six inches wide, which gives good assays in gold and silver. They are so well pleased with their prospects that they intend continuing developments. Mining Machinery. New machinery was sent out yester-day by tho Utah & Montana Machinery company to the following places: A new hoister of small w parity to the Anchor at Park City, a portion of the machinery for tho new Rice it McCrys-ta- l sampler at Kureka, a whim each for the Albany consolidated and the Alamo shafts in Tintic and two more whims for other places in the territory. Mineral Itleiitioniiig-ii- . A part of tho upper workings of the Apex have been leased to Barkow, Flint and Mosby. There is talk of organizing a mining exchange at Aspen, Colo. What is the matter with Denver? A gentleman recently from Colorado says: "The Mollie Gibson is one of the wonders of a wonderful country. Work on the wagon road to tho Y'ork mine at Bingham has been suspended on account of the storms. No oro was shipped last week. 'The new shaft on tho Daly has reached a depth of loO feet and the third compartment has been put iu. The ground is still soft. Those who have investigated the merits of the strike of ore in the Y'ork-vill- e tutinell, north of Kureka. describe it as a most promising discovery. Sam Nelson, a prominent Tintic min-ing man is a visitor to Salt Lake. Mr. Nelson is a very old timer in that dis-trict aud has much valuable property. It is believed that when tho next election of tho oflieers of the ISig Hole Placer company is held in a day or two the old board of directors will bo re-elected. A very encouraging discovery of ore has been made nearly four miles north of hureka by John Davis, lie only had to sink live feet before the mineral was discovered. The public sentiment at Aspen is much opposed to the big mining deal at that place, which has been mentioned in tho dispatches of the last few days as a strong possibility, tho people there believing it would make a big monop-oly both of mining and business.
