Many of the mechanics and iron workers of this city will remember Francois Ernest, who came to Salt bake from Oakland Cal., a few years ago, and resided here for some months. Those who knew him will not be greatly surprised to learn that he committed suicide in Kansas City on Wednesday last. Ernest had trouble with his wife, who re-sided in Iowa, and it is supposed that he brooded oyer it until his mind became un-settled. In the man's memorandum book was found the following note addressed to the man from whom he rented his room: Dear Frientl Charles Kempf: You know that life was a burden to me long ago. Now I will make an end to it so t will re-turn to Mother earth. If I have done wrong I regret it bnt if there is anything above or beiow I shall find out. Everything is yours what I leave in my roim.' Au Revoir. Further on in the book he wrote: Charles: Yon wear these spectacles for a souvenir. They are clean. I came from a good family, and 1 was well raised, but I lost my grip. Among the dead man's effects was found a deed to a lot in St. Mary's cemetery at Oakland, Cal. . FOUND DYING IN BED.

Rochester. X. Y., May 30. Never before has Rochester been so crowded, never before has it entertained so distinguished a com-pany. All business is suspended. It is es-timated that :25O,0OO people took part in the various demonstrations.

Lowe read a poem, and President Harrison aud Gov-ernor Flower each made addresses. wiini i , j i pg THE JACKSON-SLAVI- N FIGHT. The Champions Ready for Tonight's I!, ti-tle How the Betting Is. Loxno.v, May 30. The sole topic of con-versation among the sporting fraternity is the tight tonight between Peter Jackson and Frank Slavin. The high prices charged for admission will prevent the usual throng of spectators from witnessing the battle, but as this end is sought by the National Sport-ing club, no fault is found except by those who cannot raise the 25 demanded from of the club. Members will derive the benefit of greatly reduced rates, as they pay only 10s. Jack-6on- , who has been in training at Brighton, arrived in London, this after-noon, accompanied by his backer, Parson Davies. The latter says ho is perfectly sat-isfied with Jackson's condition and feels confident he will win. Jackson, Davies adds, will enter the ring at 203 pounds. Slavin arrived from his training quarters at 5 o'clock this afternoon. He will fight at a weight fully ten pounds lighter than .lack-son- . He is reported to be in splendid con-dition. His backers predict he will have an easy victory. It is expected the referee will be Angle, who held the same position in the Sullivan-Mitchel- l affair in France. Betting is more active than before. Odds of 11 to 8 on Slavin arc freely taken by representatives of the California club and the Australian ad-mirers of Jackson. The men are to be pres-ent at the club house at 0 o'clock, but it will be midnight before they enter the ring. MONUMENT DEDICATIONS. Soldiers and Savants Honored by Their Countrymen Today.

HOW TO FIGHT WHEN WE MUST. Lr.poeiriff Ceremonies at General John A. Logan's Grave in Arling-ton Odm'jtery. COS.CMBIA, O., May 30. Rutherford B. Haye s delivered the memorial address here. Among other thing he said: "The astounding progress of America dur-ing the way and by reason of it during the last twentj seven years has carried us for-ward and upward until we have reached a rank anio:ig nations so commanding that we ourselves can hardly realize either the privi-leges that are ours, or the responsibilities and duties which those privileges impose ui ou us. It is our privilege to be with-out extensive costly fortifications because we ito not need them. We have only a small navy because with our resources we are able, if need comes, to subsidize the ships of al-most all other nations except those of the power with which we are at war. We have today the largest, cheapest, safest, most ef-ficient and formidable army the world has ever seen. It consists of more than ten millions of educated men who are not merely self sustaining but who are engaged in a peaceful, industrious civil life constantly adding to our wealth and power. To keep this army up to its maximum strength we have more than a quarter of a million schoolhouses under the oid flag, every one of which is at once a fortress and recruiting station for the army of the re-public." Genera! Hayes added: "'This na-tion should be the peacemaker of the world. " "We could," he said, 'belter afford to suffer X wrong than to do a wrong, especially when dealing with weaker nations. America should engage in no war not absolutely forced on her, but once in it, she should cease only with the annihilation of the power that caused it, so that never could there be a repetition of a conflict with that nation." IN CHICAGO AN I) KLSKWHEKE. Union and Confederate Veterans Honor tlie Sleeping Dead. Chicago, May 30. Decoration day was celebratein this city on eveu a more gen-eral ?eale than in previous years.

Owing to a Disagreement Street Oars are Not Used and bnt Pew Visit the Cemetery. A VERY SMALL PARADE. Sunday School Soholars Pionic at Lib-erty Park in Large Numbers and Grand Style. OGDEN. VS. UNIVERSITY Supt. Washburn Tenders Newspaper Men a Banquet at the Beach A Great Day for Sports and Games News of the Day's Observance). . Owing to a failure on the part of the vet-eran organizations and the street car com-panies of the city to come to any agreement on transportation the Memorial Day celebra-tion in Salt Lake Lit- - was not as extensive it should have been, aud instead of the Grand Army of the Republic visiting the ceme-teries and strewing flowers on the graves of the Nation's honored dead in a body, that duty was delegated to a committee, a very commonplace method to say the leas. It is quite likely that the Sons of America would have joined in the observance of the day had it not been for the tardiness of the district president, whose duty it is to take the initiation in such matters, in sending out his communications. This person with that negligence which so characterizes his work for the order's general good delayed his imitations to participate in the obser-vance of the day until after the meetings at which action could have been taken. Owing to a failure to keep himself posted on the officers of one camp at least his communi-cation on the subject will come up next-Thursda- y night for action. It is too bad for the boys would have turned out without doubt. Maxwell and McKean posts indulged in a parade at 10 a. m. but it was a dismal affair minus music and but little ani-mation was displayed. The veterans are to be commended for their loyalty in turning out, however. But few absentees were no-ticed. The line of manch was on Main from Sec-ond to First South, east to State ctreet, south to Tliird South, north on Main to Second South and thence west to G.A.R. hall, where a memorial service was held. A song, "The Braves," followed, after which J. M. Bore-ma- n delivered an oration, which was a tine tribute to the memory of the departed sol-diers. Miss1 Munroe then delivered an ad-dress, and another song, " Cover Them Over," was rendered. A poem by a mem-ber of McKean Relief corps and the bene-diction by Comrade Iliff concluded this a. CHILDREN" AT THE PARK. Sunday School Scholars Parade and Drink Lemonade. Today is Sunday-schoo- l day at Liberty park and at least 2000 little ones with their teachers are reveling in ice cream and lem-onade under the trees there as The Times goes to press. The parade this morning was a fine one and the little ones did themselves proud. Among the features of the proces-sion was the broom brigade, which marched with the precision of veterans. The line was headed by the Denhalter band and was in command of General Superintendent R. D. Winters, who carried himself like a field marshal of France. The juvenile drum corps in the parade did themselves proud and the little ones generally seemed to enter into t::e affair with a vim which would do their elders credit. United States Attorne3" Stephens and a basket of lunL'h commanded the central battalion, just ahead of the May-pole brigade. Cpou arriving nt the park the little ones were entertained with short addresses by a number of the progenitors of the affair, and at the conclusion were served with refresh-ments. The rest of the day is being devoted to games and sports. Ogden vs. alt Lake. The contest between the cadets of tlie Og-den military academy and the Utah univer-sity students is in progress at the State street grounds this afternoon, and the at tendance is quite Inrg;'. It look as though the Junction Citv boys would win the drill, which is in progress at this writing, and siime of the races. The University students ought to win both the baseball and tenuis contests. THE LEGAL LEXICON Another Divorce Suit and Several Ac-tions on Promissory Notes Dejruu in the Third District Court. A HEAVY JUDGMENT ENTERED. F. K. Brewster Files a Formal Demand for the Escheated Church Fund and Presents His Authority. Francis A. Pascoe, who in 1ST0 passed through Hymen's gate, wants to get out again as soon as the Third district court will let him. He has just tiled his complaint, and in it alleges that on May 1, tWl, his wife, Elizabeth L. P. Pascoe, abandoned him without just cause, and although he has fre-quently solicited her to return to him, she stubbornly decline, aud he now demand a divorce. He Wants the Fund. A harmless old man named Brewster, who resides in the Seventeenth ward, is well known to all of the court officials. Brews-ter's religious enthusiasm has unbalanced his mind and he thinks ho has been appoint- ed by the Lord to take the escheated fund which the government took from the church. He tia liled various applications, and the latest, which caine in this morning, is certi-fied by him as being "a skedyul of authority of F. R. Brewster, captain of tin: Lord's hosts," and is addressed Chief .Justice Zane or his court." In it he says: "This skedyul of authority is a communication with the heavenly host and a proclamation to all the world in the year 1852, September 15, and reach from the heavens to F. K. Brewster, who was duly called, ordained and set apart to usher in the last dispensa- tion of the fullness of time. The great as-sembly of the heavens stood before me, the Father, the Son, and all the heavenly hosts in a half circle, about 5 o'clock in the after-noon, and we stepped out from the truut and commend to speak to me, and ;.id I have a few words to sneak to you. He said you being here ordained to carry oul this work. We have ordained you this day and told you what you will have to carry out. And we, knowing the dispositions of meu, have ordained yon to the office of cap- tain of the Lord's hosts. Now the next au-thority was the Lord Jesus Christ, the Alpha and Omega. These were the words they spoke to me at the top of Meridul street, VYolverhampton, Staffordshire, Englaud: You are duly called and ordained to carry out one of the greatest works that ever was since this has been an earth. 1st To give liberty to all the world of those that are iu bondage, such are those which are slaves in the south, the north, the east and tin- west OJ this earth, and all the earth where slavery abounds. Eight hours shall bo the time of labor of all nations. Properties that has been stolen and brought into bondage by other nations must be returned back to their right owners. After speaking so many hours, they ask me if I was willing to carry out all they told. I signified that I was. I began to tell them of the number of the cities around and thought it was a big job, and they set on to laugh at me, and the Almighty said, "go on and I will protect you under all circumstances." Then they gave me three hurrahs and off they went like lightning, calling me captaiu of the Lord's hosts. The next time he appeared was in April, 1885, over the Wasatch moun-tains about half-pas- t 3 o'clock in the after noon, to put a stop to polygamy. The next time was in 1880, hi niy own house, when the Lord did "declare the word by his own voice for me to go to Hiram Clawson, and for him to preserve me a position in the Brigham Young estate for my temporal wants and necessities, and to govern the church properties, aud in the morning, by the Almighty God, I heard Brigham Young and H. C. Kimball's voices witnesses to the fack. I was to hold and keep and be security for them and all church properties given by the Father and all the heavenly host. When shall yon ho ready to settle and turn it to me? This my skidyul of authority. F. R. Brewstek, Capt. Lord's Hosts. Mr. Bache has appointed his clerk, Mr. Shipp, as a committee on credentials. On Promissory Notes. Daniel Sweneren has brought suit against J. M. Nelson and Henry Kendell to recover $850 alleged to he clue on a promissory note. The Union Pacific Coal company has insti-tuted proceedings against A. L. Williams to recover about $1000 which it alleges is due on promissory notes. The Firemen's Mutual Aid association of this city, has 6ued Peter Hanson to recover $29 and interest on a promissory note. A Heavy Judgment. Judgment has just been entered up in favor of the plaintiff for $10,200, with in-terest lrom July 24, 1891, in the case of Nancy F. Eiger vs. the Frisco Consolidated Mining company. Eor Merchandise. W. S. McCornick has sued J. J. Peters to recover $1158. SO, alleged to be due for mer-chandise. Bench aud Bar. Colonel Merritt's taste run's in the direc-tion of fine horse flesh, and he is never more happy than when mounted upon a high stepper. Judge McDowall is a great fisherman and every summer makes a long trip into the mountains to whip tlie crystal streams for speckled beauties. He is an expert at the business. C. B. Glenn says there is too much compe-tition in sharp shooting, and so he has taken to tomahawk throwing. He expects to give an exhibition wheu the Tuscaroras get back from Chicago. Ex-Chi- Justice ElKot F. Sanford is said to have the handsomest offices iu New York city. Mr. Sanford's time is largely occupied now in acting as referee in important cases for the various courts. Some of our attorneys have accomplish-ments outside of legal learning. E. W . Tat-loe- k, for instance, is a line rifleman, and there are few men in the country who can equal him in target shooting. Geo. S. Peters and W. G. Clarke, whe served as United States attorney and assist-ant United States attorney for this territory under Clevelaud, are now practicing law at Columbus, and are prospering. Few people would suspect that .Tudga Powers was a sportsman, but he is. Al-though not in practice, be is able to hold his own with any of the crack shots at wing shooting, and is also an expert with the pistol. DESPERATE BATTLE WITH TOUCHS- - Though Shot, a Man Kouts a Oang of As-sailants, Killing One. Council Bluffs, May 30. W. F. Jones, manager of the Sandwich Manufacturing company, was found iu the rear of the Og-de- n house this morning with, a contused wound in his head and a bullet in his abdo-men.

James Maher, another tough, and Tom Crogan. a hack driver, were arrested and the latter confessed that a gang tried to rob Jones, having decoyed him from home. Jones showed fight and tired several shots at the robbers, who fled. It is supposed that Wade shot Jones after the latter shot Wade. REVOLUTION IN IRELAND.

The Telegraph pub-lished a plan of resistance to the mandates of au Irish parliament, should such a body be stablished. The article is written by a prominent Irish Unionist. He says the men of Ulster will not allow the elections to oc-cur. The election writs will be publicly burned by the sheriffs of the counties and mayor of Belfast immediately after they are received.

There is a big crowd at the fair grounds this afternoon, and Major Levey's initial coursing tournament promises to be a very successful one. Yesterday's Baseball Game. A thousand people went down to the State Btrect grounds yesterday afternoon to watch the last game of the series between Ogden and Salt Lake. They were rewarded by witnessing the finest game played here this season. The home team played great ball and their battery. Busby and Mulqueen, were so well supported that the Junction City boys counted up nine large goose eggs, the score at the end standing 0 to 0 iu favor of Salt Lake. The result gives the home team the series, they have won three out of the five games. Sporting Splinters. Chicago is to have a female u please match. A sprinting track is being laid out on the baseball grounds. Colonel W. B. Woodruff of Chicago, is officiating as judge at the Denver races. The sports are all waitihg for news of the Jackson-Slavi- n light, which comes off at London today.

At Heme Hill a few i!::ys ago Zim merman brought the record for a quarter of a mile down to 30 seconds. Salt Lake defeated O gden yesterday by a score of 6 to 0. The game was a line one and was a fielders' contest, Ogden's enors neing the cause of their defeat. The base-ball statistic collector of the West Temple history says Ojjfden's were "held down" by Busby. Inasmuch as the visitors made within two of the number of hits made by Salt Lake, it doesn't look like much of a "hold down". It was the lidding that won the game, and anyone but the old woman who wrote the game up can see that by a glance at the assist and error columns of the score. Of ten fielding chances Salt Lake accepted eight, while of twenty Ogden fell down on ten. WANT IT OPEN SUNDAYS. The Federation of Labor Issues an Address to Labor Unions. Xf.w York, May 30. The executive coun-cil of the American Federation of Labor is-sues au address today to the iabor unions of kinds in ihe United States, opposing the closing of the World's fair on the Sabbath day. The address says among other things: "A movement has been started by some people seeking to influence congress to order that the World's fair in Chicago in 1893 shall be closed on Sundays. As American citizens, as wage-worker- we maintain that congress 'would exceed its powers should it undertake to legislate upon questions of this character; that the govern-ment of the United States is As a matter of fact the days the wage-work-er- s will have the best opportunity to visit the world's fair will be on Sunday. A visit to the World's fair, an examination of the pro-duct of the genius of man, cannot tend to demoralize or deprave. A visit to the ex-position and a view of the arts and handi-crafts of the peoples of all nations can only tend to ennoble the visitor, enlarge the sphere of his intelligence and broaden his sympathetic nature. There is no idea nor thought for the desecration of the Sabbath, but we insist that congress shall refrain from legislatingupon a subject entirely for-eigr- u to its sDhere. The toiling masses have not so much leisure time that they can af-ford to have this wonderful exposition closed to them upon one of the days of the week which will give them the best oppor-tunity to visit It. Those of our fellow workers coming from distant cities, or even those in the city of Chicago and the sur-rounding country, will of necessity count Sundays as alpart of the time they desire to devote to visiting the fair." Attached to the address are copies of a petition to congress with space for attaching 100 signatures. Fifty thousand of these are to be distributed over the country. The petition says: "We do not think it right or wise. even if it be al-lowed under our constitution, that the United States Congress impose conditions either as to keeping or closing Sundays the World's Columbian Exposition to be held in 1893. The question touches too closely upon religious observances and the rights of the individual man. and we respectfully protest against it. A visit to the exposition, and a view of the arts and handicrafts of the peo-ple of the world, can only tend to ennoble the visitor, enlarge his intelligence and broaden his sympathetic nature, whether such visit be made on Sunday or any day of the week. Should the exposition be closed on Sunday, to many of us its advantages would be entirely lost; and we respectfully submit that the deprivation would fall most heavily upon those who most need the great benefits that the exposition is so well calcu-lated to furnish." WELCOME, EDITORS! Salt Lake Captured by a Large Oelegation of Ouill Orivers. The city is graced this afternoon by the presence of 126 members of the Xational Editorial association which recently con-cluded its annual session in San Francisco. The party came in this morning over the Rio Grande Western and will remain until 9 p. m. when they will depart for the east. Among the number is the veteran Major Norton of Texas, who declared that he would refrain from getting his hair cut until Henry Clay was elected president of the United States. He did so and in consequence he presents a very unique figure. Major Norton says the Texas republicans are for Blaine and that they will vote for him. All the delegates are a unit in declaring that they had a splendid time while in San Francisco. At the conclusion of the convention the party divided, twelve carloads going to Portland, Ore. The visitors are cordially invited to visit The Times office and get a copy of the only evening paper published in Salt Lake today. w NEWSPAPER MEN FED. Superintendent Washburn Gives Them a Banquet at Garfield. Superintendent Washburn of the Union Pacific hotel department gave the newspaper fraternity of the city a banquet at the, beach at 2 p. m. today which was one of the finest affairs of the kind ever participated in by the aggregation of talent in this city. The dining room was beautifully decorated, and the occasion was one that will be as green in the hearts of those present as were the plants that added a charm to the scene. The menu was most excellent, the bill of fare comprising all the delicacies of the season and some out of season. Wine riopled like a mountain torrent, and the popping of corks reminded one of a skirmish line standing off the main body of an tfrmy. The boys present were profuse in their expressions of delight, and Mr. Washburn can rest assured that his action will be long remembered and will be productive of much good. Railroad Notes. The Rio Grande Western will build an elegant depot at Spanish Fork soon. Salt Lake was represented at the conven-tion of railway accountants in Chicago by J. Geddes of the Rio Grand Western.

A special yesterday conveyed a party of rail-road officials and others to the beach to wit-ness the inauguration of the system. There are 140 incandescent lamps scattered around the place and eleven arc lights. Something He Had Overlooked. A long, loosely incorporated individual walked into one of our city clothing houses the other day and addressed the gentleman in charge, who, by way of description, wears a very thin suit of hair next the ceiling, and said to him: "Do you keep all kinds of felt goods?" "Yes, sir," said the gentleman in charge, drawing himself up to his full height; "yes, sir, everything in that line known to the trade." "Well, then," said the lank man, "I would like to buy a long felt want." And then silence reigned that could al-most be felt as the land man disappeared. Crookston (Minn.) Times. TELECRAPHIC SUMMARY.

THE IRVINE CASE. Counsel Retained for His Trial, Which Comes Dp in September. Judge. Powers is in receipt of a letter from N.C.Abbott of Lincoln, Neb., relating to the Irvine killing. The chances are that" the prisoner will not be tried until September, there being no term of court until that time.

It is stated on good authority that Mrs. Irvine's mother was a witness to her con-fession of criminal relations with Mont-gomery. Nothing but sympathy for Irvine is heard at Lincoln, and Salt Lake is loyal to the core. Everyone here is on his side, and when h i returns he will be given a royal re-ception. --- .
