Mayor Baskiu proposes to reform in the methods of parties who drive their horses t breakneck speed over the street crossings to the great danger of pedestrians. He thinks a foot-passenger has as much right on the street as the man behind a horse and thinks that making fast driving 'round a I corner and over the cross walk a mis- I deamcanor would be a very salutary I measure. Complaint is made to The Times regarding regard-ing the herding of sheep in Parley's and Emigration canyons.

In the absence of news and advertising matter, and by reason of the fact that the union does not permit it to use plates, one of the West Temple ancient histories this morning contained a column write up of a ghost that is supposed to haunt the restaurant restaur-ant of Mr. Kennedy on Main street below the Walker house. The tale has no foundation founda-tion whatever, and was either a fabrication pure and simple or the record of an alcoholic hallucination. At 2 o'clock this afternoon a young man named J. W. Harrington, who claims to hail from California, emerged from the alley-north alley-north of Martin I.annan's butcher shop with his head in the condition that Mr. Slavin's was when Mr. Jackson got through with him. OlHcers Matthews and Lund looked into the affair, but owing to Harrington's dazed condition were not able to learn much, it seems that Harrington was thumped by a tin-borne in the rear of the Wasatch building, build-ing, but it is not known what lead up to the slugging. The art gallery at the Oxford has been supplemented by one of Mr. Cooper's masterpieces mas-terpieces called "Eveuing," and is one of the artist's best works. A female figure, nearly nude, with arms uplifted and the beau'iful face upturned as if imploring a blesiug on the land, while on tha symetri-cal symetri-cal Mmbs is reflected the dull, red glow of the setting sun, so real as to suggest some artificial aid for the effect. An ordinary cri'icism of the work cannot do it justice, an'l it must be seen to be appreciated. The subtle brush of the artist has created a perfect per-fect figure, with a face so winning, so modest, that there is not a suggestion of snsuality about it. It is rather a sense of reverence that is produced which deepens as ft grows upon one. The drawing is perfect, tie conception grand. The picture was rlil tn Pn7Pn4nripr P.roi for 1 ".CO aw-. A n-ill no doubt prove a irrcat attraction to their patrons. A double team on upper Main 6treet today became frightened, and started at a territlic pace down the street, scattering vehicles and pedestrians like chaff before the wind from their path. In front of I.annan's meat market the Rocky Mountain Cigar company's delivery waeron was not iuick enough to get out of the way entirely aud the runaway struck it slightly, then caromed against a butcher wagon, which was turned around and whirled upside down. The wagon attached at-tached to the runaway shared the same fate, the team tearing loose, and the driver being-thrown being-thrown beneath the wag-on. The team then struck another team of horses tied behind a covered wagon at the St. Elmo corner and ran completely over them, Kriouftly injuring injur-ing one of the horses, and continued their mad flight as far as they could be seen. The driver, whose name could not be learned, thouirh badly bruised and shaken, crawled from under the upset wairon aud set out iu pursuit of his horses. He deserves credit for his pluck and coolness In steering clear of other vehicles as well as he did. |
