The great struggle between the giants of geology entered upon its eighth day this morning with Colonel Nick Trewcek in the chair. It has been generally re?ognlzed that the colonel was to cross swords with 1'rofuKSor llolden and Professor Keyes, and In anticipation of this intellectual-theoretical ond practical rencontre that the fur was to lly. The gentlemen hud often met in the urena, have at times fought side by side, uud it was quite natural for the students of lesser years to rally wlnu the stalwarts stal-warts were cat ngainst each other. Colonel Trewcek as the chief witness and anchor mail for the defense took the chair yesterday afternoon and was soon whirling counsel and clients, court and spectators through tunnels, shafts, slopes and winzes and liually poising them upon the coveted ancx which constitutes the cause of war iu the present conllict. His evidence during tho afternoon session ses-sion of Judge Anderson's court had reference to tho rights of the locator under tho laws of Apex and iu tracing the gigantic lissure that furnished support for their claim to the Apex. This morning the witness came in carrying a etockiug-like looking suck upon his arm and upon taking the stand was requested by Arthur lirown, esq., to empty its mysterious catacombs. The request brought forth a Collection of specimens from the property 1,1 dispute, the lirst of which was oifored as an Iron conglomerate which was taken from a point eighteen inches beneath the surface. The next was of a similar character and was procured at a polntabout a mile below and near Venus' cabin. A specimen of quurt.ite from the IJOO-foot level of the South (inleua, as was also a specimen from the bottom of the L'tah 'MO feet from tho surface. Porphyrytic and cal-eiferous cal-eiferous matters were then introduced alter which the witness was asked if lie recalled a conversation had with t'rof. Keyes on the occasion of the court's visit to the mine ? .Judge Marshall met this with a formidable objection and was replied to by Mr. lirown who stated that l'rof. Keyes was there as the representative of the plaintilf und there lo guide the court intelligently. 7 hut on the visit to the battle ground he had informed in-formed the court that there was no necessity to go into a certain shaft as there was no dispute or issue whatever as to the pi iuts that were disclosed there. The objection was overruled, and the witness wit-ness corroborated counsel's statement that l'rof. Keys hud to the court waived the visit to the shaft, stating tlmt they were agreed on the point. .Mr. Brown Do you know Mr. Palmar? Colonel Treweck ljuitc well. ''Do you know of his having been employed em-ployed by the defendants?" "1 do." , "Was ho still in their employ when you went there as its superintendent!"'

All the points ou which rest the fate of the great light were ajiain gone into, the witness remaining inflexible in-flexible and adhering uncompromisingly to every position tliat had been taken m his dire, trim 'lirounh the disputed ground until un-til the apex claimed by the defendants was finally readied. It was a thrilling engagement. en-gagement. Every move ou the judicial chess board rellected the genius and resources of tho men who were engaged in it. Tho one was a formidable miner aud geologist, tho other a formidable lawyer and tactician. Tho witness had landed some destructive missiles at the structure left by Professor iloldeu ond Professor Keyes. lie had in a plain, unpretentious way emptied a mighty magazine and there stood his testimony iu support of the Niagara's claim to the apex. In sunport of his position is his record for integrity, his information and his practical i cxe.'irchps. and thus do men differ. The City is Defeated. Judge Anderson, as promised, opened the day's record iu his department wiiii an opinion opin-ion in the case of Benj. F. Stewart, manager of the Franklin Avenue theater, against Salt Luke City, in which the order revoking the license from the play-house was annulled. In deciding the issue the court stated that th3 action had beeu brought to compel tho council to send in a re-view re-view of their action in revoking tho license. Hearing had becu had ujiou it and the facts shown to bo tliat on September L'5 Inst the plaintilf had presented a petition to the council asking for a license, the same being accompanied by a bond in the sum of tflOOO.

The grounds upon which to secure a review were that the license was revoked without a hearing being granted plaintiff or without with-out any proceedings in which he might have been heard in his own defense. On the record it appears that no showing was made save the letter written by the marshal reviewing the complaints tliat had been lodged against tho theater. That wus the only showing made to the city council add on this the motions to revoke the license were based. No notice was served ou tho the licensee and no evidence introduced save the bare communication. My opinion is tliat the council had no right to revoke. Ordinarily the right Is conferred by ftatute, but no showing has been made of tills kind. They did not offer to restore the licensee his money or any part thereof. There was no hearing or evideuce witli tho exception of that which lias been cited in tho letter, aud while It has been said that the thculer is not a very reputable place, there is nothing in |
