COXXOli. The Old Warrior is Very Low, But is Stronger Tl.au He Was Yesterday. General Connor is lying on his bed in his rooms iu the AVaiker house, lighting; the iiardest battle of his life. If he does not conquer it will be the tiist time he lias ever met a foe who vanquished him. The old man is very feeble, and 14s strength seems fast laaving him. Ail day yesterday and last night. lie v.as very buy, but today his physicians think there is a little improvement m his condition and they an: not without hope that they will be able to pull him through. At noon his pu!-- e was log and his tempera-ture registered Hi0.!l degree.--. This tin doc-tors regarded as most favorable to his chances. (i?ner:;l Connor seems to be suf-fering- from no particular disorder, 'tis com-plaint being the gradual breaking 'town of nature's forces.

A week ago he was attacked by THE JURY REPORTS, The Eventful Session Concluded After 44 Eaya in Which 400 Witnesses Were Examined. Official Conduct of the United States, County and City Officers Crit-ically Inquired Into. ARREST OF U. S, MARSHALS Upon a Complaint Piled by the District Attorney Before Commis-sioner Pratt. PARSONS UNDER BOND. The Examination Eegun and Adjourned Until 3 O'clock This Afternoon Depo-sitions Taken from Inmates of the Pen to be Introduced in Evidence. : Long before the hour arrived for the court begirt its labors Judge Zanc's chamber be-came u centre of gravity. The massive door that had not yet slided back into its sockets Has stormed by people of all classes and be-fore the judge himself hud mouutcd the bench and signaled to Uailiff Sprague that it as realy for business the lobby was packed. It had already been posted by the official organ of the grand jury, Into who.- - columns daily reports of the jury'o deliberations were dripping, that the body v.as to submit its final report on the opening of court aud that it would cause sensation. Always thirstiusr and avidly bunting for scandal the eyes of the spectator alternated between the clock and the wall and the door. The torture of delay was fiercely apparent when finally the statuesque form of Foreman Dovine ap-peared and inarched up the aisle followed by his colleagues. His hand clutched two formidable documents. one. or which fell with a sepulchral rustle on Clerk HcMilhui's desk while tin- other winged us bulky and voluminous self with bee-lin- e prec ision into the hands of a 'frlb-i- repor-ter, who shot from the chamber to his sanc-tuary like a rocket. fund has been expended for the above-name- d purpose. It has been farther shown that the Acting Warden and United States Marshal have jointly played the role of using prison hiber and the United States Marshal's teams to the individual profit of themselves. We would recommend such arrangement in the offices of United States marshal and penitentiary warden as would preclude any possibility of prl vate interests being advanced in the control and management of the government farm or govern-ment supplies. Many other things have been alleged derogatory to the honesty and integrity of the management, aud this investigation has disclosed several in-stances of irrcgularitiesthat must reflect seriously on the administration of this institution. borne other serious charges have been under consideration before this jury which did not seem to justify the return of indictments, and as we understand the district attorney has called them to the attention of the court we shall make no further mention here. Several other smaller matters have been called to our attention which we do not think justifies auy special consideration. The attention of the court is called to the al-leged brutal whipping with a horsewhip oE one prisoner for an alleged assault, and the hanging by the thumbs of another for the purpose of ex-torting a confession. Anti-Polyga- Laws. It is a niDtter of great satisfaction to this body to witness almost the entire disappearance from the criminal docket of this court cases under the y laws, aiid.we feel it must he grati-fying to all good citizens to observe this whole-some reform. Jurors' Pees. We would recommend to the legislature, which w ill soon be convened, the propriety and justice of making ample appropriations for this pur-pose, that jurors may be paid promptly, as it is a great hardship for many poor men who have no means of subsistence but their day's toil to wait several mouths for the small pittance they re-ceive. Useless Expenditures. We desire lo call attention to the large and use-less expenditures of the territory's money, in bringing up petty cases before ttie grand jury which should never pass a justices' court, and we think it to the interest of the. people the tax payers that this custom should be discouraged as far as possible. Corruption 3Ioney. We deprecate as disgraceful to this city the sys-tem in vogue of virtually licensing gamb-ling Iiouk's and houses of prostitution, by collecting from them regular quarterly fines, serving as an incentive to these vio-lators of t: e law to ply their avocations with greater activity. Particularly is this true of lewd women, who uie notified from time to lime to ia:,ke their deposit for their appearance in court, which is almost invariably forfeited. Complaints of Citizens. It la" bei n extremely annoying and disconrr.g ing to havo citizen - place complaints before me:u-l.er- s of this jury, ex ecring their pio.npt atten-tion, wk"ii, as a matter of fact, they could not furnish competent evidence to indict. All of v. hich is submitted as the unanimous report of tills jury. JAMES DEV1NE, Foreman. The Jin j's Keporl.

We the grand furors for the September term ifth"l Third .Idiiicii Oistriet, repee'fiilly sabinit the following as our l'mal report: Wo convened on 11th. and have h"fu in s"rsion forty-tou- r days, liming which tine? iehai had umier ousnlei-atiui- i some one hundred ami twelve 112 cases, and have heaid tl.i- - tffclamony of more than four hundred i KHt j Jr.efse'. Twenty -) days of said t.me have been spent in hi anng se eu'er-- v 7 United Slates casts; in five i5) of which tases indictments have been returi.ei, and twelve ign.,red. Territorial tsr--s have reached ninety-fiv- vXi in number; iu whicli sixty-fou- r ;( fit indii tuients have l,een re-- , t i turned, and thirty-on- e igmue.l. ... , The varions matters cpecially called to our no- - i tii e, by your honor in charging this jury, have re ceived our earnest attention ; and we regret to sav, we ha-.- not succeeded in accomplishing the good that the majority of this jury might have hoped or expected. e have been handicapped to a great extent by the deplorable condition of affairs nmn-.i- r Marshal 1'urson's An est. The arrest of the United States marshal failed to awaken the sensation thai might have occurred under ordinary circumstance. The public were prepared for it, the court itself !i:iv;ng; directed on Saturday la- -t that the indictments preferred by Annie Trindic and Maggie i'aulknf.r he inquired into through a United States commissioner's office. Accordingly, United States District Attorney Variau v. cut before Commissioner llitniK 1 Pratt this morning" and liied an in-- ; formatii n. The complaint sets up that on September, IS; Hi. and ever since, Eiias II. Parssns has been the duly appointed and acting marshal of Utah, and as such rnashal was an ollicer ehai ged by law with the care and control of the penitentiary and w ith the care and cus-tody of all persons convicted of crimes against the territory as well as the United .stales; that on September, 1S',1, one Annie Prindle, a woman who had deen convicted of felony and sentenced to be imprisoned in me penitentiary tor a term ol six months, was received by him, the said Klias 11. Par-sons as marshal aforesaid, into his care and custody as o convict prisoner; that thereaf-ter on divers days and times and until No-vember 11 and while she, the said Annie Prindle, was under the care and custody of him. the said Elias 11. Parsons, he, the said Parsons, wilfully "omniilted divers acts of in-humanity and oppression towards her, the said Aanie Prindle and particularly ou or about the 22nd and 27th days of September, 22nd day of October and the Kith day of Septem-ber, all iu A. I). !:'., by soliciting her, the said Annie Prindle, to lewdness with lascivi-ous talk and conduct and forcibly, inde-cently, and against her will laying hands upon her person kissing aud otherwise maltreating her, the said Annie Prindle, and subjecting her to great humiliation, etc. The cemplaint bore the signature of the United Mates attorney and upon it a warrant M as issued by Commissioner Pratt, charging "wilful inhumanity aid oppression toward a prisoner by an otlicer while said prisoner was under his care and in his cus-tody." The warrant was handed to Sheriff An-drew Hurt, who proceeded leisurely down to the office of the United States marshal. "I've been expecting you for several hours,"' exclaimed the marshal, as the shadow of the sheriff's tall form shot athwart the chamber. The warrant was served with the usual formalities and nt 1 o'clock this afternoon the distinguished prisoner, accompanied by his counsel, Messrs Uawlins A; Critchlow walked calmly into the commissioners court. Upon one side was seated United States Attorney Varian. his chief lieutenant, Frank B. Steph-ens, and Special Examiner Stutsman of the department of justice. Commissioner Pratt consulted his watch, rau his eye over his guests and asked i they w ere ready to proceed. JJr. Voi 'ith. We are ready your honor, so far as to hear what the defense proposes to do. The Court I believe the customary course iu such cases is to fix the bonds and then proceed with the examination. Mr. Rmrtiim We are ready to entertain a suggestion from the prosecution as to the amount of bonds? Jfr. Viiriiiu I would say a five hundred dollar bond or the defendant may go his own recognizance. I don't care anything about that. Tir: Court When will it be the pleasure of the parties to proceed with the examina-tion ? fciiaiciians of the peace r.r.d conservators oi the law iu this district. Vice and crime have recently increased at an Rlurming ratio. Gau bling, prostitution aud Sun-day h;noirselling, and other infractions of the and statutes have been almost uu-- i l.i cic'd, while burglary, highway robbery and violence m tin. streets at night have created a f'eiing of terror and insecurity that calls for vig-oro- ii ollicial action, which we have vainly hoped would be forthcoming. The upathy if the city authorities in relation to th.'ce disturbance was sixli, tnat the United .Mi.t-.'- marshal and his deputies proceeded under tiie act of congress of March 3.1, lw;. to make ar- rests of offenders against the territorial statutes. In our opinion it would h:.e be- n' much more commendabie had this reform been instituted many months earlier, but when it dtd it caused a dispute between t ic f deiat aud munici-pal officers that was almost a disgraci ful as the loose . omiition of public morals that exist-- d: and the cit.zens beheld the spectacle of the citv oflicei a bringing gamblers forward as witnesses' against the informer-- i who were h be witnesses against the gainbl-r- s, in order to defeat the action of tiie federal officers. Immediately upon the heeN of this public scan-dal, came the killing of the captain of police by i.ne of his subordinates, in a defense of an attack upon himelf ith a pistol, on a public thorough- fare. " These and other notorious circumstances, show. . that the administration of city affairs, particularly' in the police department, has been inadequate u, the situation mid has had a very demoralizing ef-fect, and while the evidence before this jurv 1l..es Jiot seen-- to a minority, to justify the return of in- dictments direlirt public officials, we con- - idr the condition of affairs so disreputable as to call for immediate and thorough reformation. Franklin Avenue Theater. The jury would call the attention of the city nuthorities to the hall known as Franklin Avenue Theater, a reort where unfortunate fallen women are tolerated as agents of a saloon-keeper- , work- - ing for go per cent commission ou drink recaipts, that the unwary victim whom they may drug mav be. ome mora easy prey. We would earnestly recommend that the city Cfiiin. il do not renew a liquor license iu this house v bile the same is conducted as a theater or place of amusement. Seven houses of prostitution are reported oh this street and four saloons. Public Records. An affidavit was filed with this body setting forth facts most derogatory to the management of tiie ffwr department of this city, which, upon iiivetig.itiou of the records, demonstrated gross irrrgalarilies that may he considered btcie short of criminal.

They arc anxious to men coming from the west who can give j them information of its resources. j The railroad situation is jrood and all of the trunk lives, are considering the subject; of wester so cxtensious, various bints were obtained, that it was the intention of cer-tain roads to do considerable building in Utah. Pennsylvania, Mr. Allen had interviews, with iron manufacturers and natural gasj men. They had all seen the dispatched-tellin-of the opening of gas wells in this valley, and they agreed that the reports indicated that a permanent flow could be obtained by going deep enough, should that be true, they said there could be no question of what the future of Salt would be as a manufacturing center. The question of fuel is of trreater importance to some industries than anything else. The manufacturers spoken to agreed tliat the time was coming when they must get a. western location from which to supply west--er- n markets. In the Ohio valley a syndicate of iron man-ufacturers had already been organized with large capital, with the iutentiou of establishing a plant somewhere in the west. What place would bo selected had not yet been decided upon, but it would bo where the conditions were most favorable. This would imply the proximity of raw material and the cheapness of fuel as well as transportation facilities; but tiie first two requisites would have the greatest influence. While in Chicago Mr. Allen vi.-ite-d tho World's fair grounds. A great deal of work is being done aud some of the buildings are assuming shape. He found for the Utah headquarters one of the best secured by auy of the western states. While there he met Mr. Dickinson, the general secretary of the World's Fair commission, and the commis-sioner- s of the various departments. These officers manifested the keenest interest in the organization of this terrirery. so as to insure "of its resources being well repre-sented. Nearly all of the states have made appropriations, and those which have not will do so when their legislatures convene this winter. For the benefit of Utah, Secre-tary Dickenson has furuisheJ a plan to guido the legislature in any action it may take in reference to the territerial exhibit. These Mr. Allen brought w ith him and will submit them with a report to the chambci of commerce. In Kansas City a conference was had with the stoek yard people. They are a strong combination, backed by all the money neces-sary to carry the scheme here to a successful issue. After the yards and packing hotife are in satisfactory operation it is the inten-tion to promote ether industries in the same locality, aud to make it a busy manufactur-ing suburb.

The Tribune prints the following: The World's Fair directors have almost decided to ask an appropriation from Congress of rive millions rather than request a loan of that amount. That the preponderance of sentiment of the directors is in favor of tho appropriation, is due partly to the fact tha. the directors are careful readers of the newspapers, and have come to the conclusion that the general expression of opinion favors the appro-priation. Then the recent interview with C'hanneey Depew, in which he st:oatly asserted the illness of an appropviaton by Congress, has had some weight. The gene-ra! '"belief now is that an appropriation rather that a loan should be granted by Congress; and the board of directors will, it is""believed, when the matter is presented it for determination, vote for the appro-priation idea. .
