A Uuet Between Louisianiaus Which Ke-gut- ts in the Oeath of One of the Parties The Wnnm In It. New 0klex3, April 4. News is received i here of a duel between A. Kirk and If. Me- Gowan, both of West Melville, on Trum-bull's island, which resulted in the killing of MeGowan. The trouble arose two years ago, when Kirk's engagement to a young lady was broken because of alleged slanders concerning him. He then proposed and was accepted by Mrs. Theij, a wealthy widow. He claims that MeGowan revived Jthe charges against him. A challenge fol-lowed and the duel was fought with Win-chesters, at 100 yards. The sheriff attempted to intercept the duelists, butarrived too late. . Kirk and his seconds were arrested. TRACK OF THE STORM. I.oeal Losses Limited to the Gardeners How Visiting Farmers View the Cycle of Tempests. The monthly report from the clerk of the weather through "Recorder" Salisbury, re-veals a dismal column uf observations. There were but nine cloudless days during the month, with 4.4 inches of snow, the mer-cury ran down to 21) on the last day of the month, the total precipitation reached 2.29 inches and on the 20th there was a solar halo. In comparison with other stations upon the interniountain circuit the experiences here have been mild. The gardener has been the only one to sustain any very severe loss and that was confined to the cost of his "plant" and the labor expended. It is rare that any of them have been damaged in a sum exceeding $100. The building trades have suffered but the ill winds and devas-tating tempests at other places have paved the way for a building boom. The railways have operated with but few delays after reaching the boundaries of the internioun-tain system. What a contrast to the ele-mental disturbances in other places. Along the mountain circuit the storms are re-ported the most serious of the winter. A more heartrending report has rarely come from the plains, the lake and seaside points of the eastern and middle states. The farm-ers, many of whom are attending confer-ence, declare the outlook for abundant har-vests unprecedentedly good and while the toekgrowers of other latitudes report heavy losses the- - are reduced on the local ranges to the minimum. The orchard has escaped severe damage in the sudden change that closed the half opened bulbs and sent them far back into their mellow pods. Taken as a whole the valley of the Jordan has been extremely fortunate. . . THE WEATHER. The loeal signal service bureau reports as follows atSa.ni.: Salt temperature, 8, snowing; Bingham, 2. , snowing; Ogden. 35 cloudy; Logan, 3rV, snowing; Park City, 2, cloudless; Provo, 40 cloudy; Stockton, 3t snowing. Forecast for Utah Light rain: slight tem-perature changes; fair and warmer weather Tuesday.

There will be a republican delegation to the Minneapolis convention uamed in a very few days. This in contradistinction to a delegation consisting of O. J. Salsbury and Frank Can-non, recently elected by the double-barrele- d republicans at Provo. A reporter called upon several representa-tives of the monogamous party this after-noon and learned Uiat weliminary measures were already in progress for the holding of a convention at which these envoys to the national republican convention were to be named. "We have not yet determined upo n a date," said Hon. John E. Dooly, chairman of the territorial committee, in fact caunot do it until the committee itself has been con-sulted. 1 shall confer with the members at once, however, and a meeting will probably take place in this city iu the next lew days." "Then there is no doubt about a conven-tion being held V ''None whatever." "And the election of delegates to the n tional convention?" "That will be tin object of the conven-tion." "Have you any date in view?" "That is lor the committee to determine.' United States District Attorney Variat was seem and speaking to the date of the cud vention stftted that they were simply waitin; for a call from the chairman of the republi-can committee when they would proceed with the apportionment and issue a call for the convention. Down about gubernatorial and executive haunts today the question mas io under consideration. The leaders were all getting a little inpatient and are urging a gathering of republican that will at least demonstrate, for the benefit and enlightment of the his-torian who is collecting data on this period of political agnoxticUm that the majority of the republican are opposed to division un-der present condition. Chairman Dooiy will very likely address his call to the committee tomorrow. The Deuiocrutlo Conrentiou. The labors of the committee of which" Hon. William M.

At such county conventions county committees of five m mbers each shall also be elected to serve for a period of four years. The secretary of the committee was in. structed to make a demand on Commissioner A. G. Norrell for the records of the com-mittee. A committee consisting of W. C. Hall, O. W. Powers, C. B. Glenn, Judge Hoge and Martin Lannau was appointed to prepare and publish an address to the democrats of Utah, reciting the action of the committo and asking them to use all endeavors to se-cure proper representation from their re. spective parties to aid iu sustaining the dem-ocratic party in Utah.

MATTERS OF RECORD. The Affairs of Salt Lake County as They Came up for Discussion and Action Before! the County Court This Morning. The county court held a full session this morning. The petition of E. Sells asking for relief on account of his property being doubly assessed was granted, and the clerk ordered to notify the collector. The report of J. Hmmiu, superintendent of the county infirmary, for the month of March was presented. It shows the number of inmates at the first of the month as 39; the number adrj'tted during the month, 5; number discharged, 11. It was ordered that Superintendent Hind-ma- n have such pointing done at the iutirin-ar- y as may be necessary. Win. H. Williams appeared before the court and asked for aid. Petition referred to the county physician. County Surveyor Brooks presented mans of Ninth, Eleventh and Thirteenth East streets. It was ordered that the above maps be adopted as official maps, and that ths clerk affix the usual certificate of this action. The surveyor also presented a map of the of highway No. 54. The same order was made as above. It was ordered that the county surveyor procure a suitable rack for the preservation of maps on file in the clerk's office. It was ordered that the county surveyor survey the whole length of Redwood line. The petition of Hudson Smith for the abatement of tax, was reported by the coun-ty attorney as uncollectable. L. F. Ross was ordered to appear before court April 11, in reference to his petition. This is a netition asking for an abatement of $25.50 on his tax. In the case of Chas. F. Blandin vs. Silt Lake county, the county attorney was au-thorized to file a supplementary answer. The question of special school taxes to be refunded to the county under decree of the third distric. court was referred to Messrs. iurtch and Butter with power to act. The petition of C. O. Farns worth, asking for rebate of taxes, was ordered returned for more explicit statement of facts. The petition of R. G. Lambert et al., ask-ing for official survey of Seventh East street, was referred to Messrs. Hardy, Cahoon and Butter. The petition of Geo. M. Scott et al., for abatement of taxes, was referred to the county attorney. The county physician made a report that there were eleven patients at the county's expense at the different hospitals, St. Mark's having nine, St. Mary's one, Des-ere- t one. The claim of David R. Allen, superintend-ent of schools, for $275 was approved. William Et. Williams was ordered admitted into the county infirmary. The following opinion was filed by the county attorney. "To the County Court of Salt Lane County: Gentlemen: In the matter of the proposed certificates from the county recorder, show-ing whether redemption has been made in the case of any lands sold for taxes more than two years ago and struck off to the probate judge, I advise that instead of ob-taining such certificates, you direct the recorder to furnish a list of all pieces of real estate (with a full and particular description of each) which were sold two or more years ago, and since the date of the county's last sale of such property, to-wi- t, since the col-lector's certificates of such sales are or ought to be all on file in the recorder's office. This list from the recorder's should then ' be submitted to the treas urer, and Hie latter requested to certify to the county clerk which of said parcels, if auy have been redeemed, to-gether with the date of redemption and the manner of the redemptiouers. "A deed should then be executed bv the clerk to the probate judge, m trust for the county, as provided by statute, for all of such parcels as are not certified by the treasurer as having been redeemed within two years after sale: "The clerk is warranted in executing such deed only 'if any property sold as aforesaid be not redeemed within the time and in the manner aforesaid,' compiled laws, section 20;i5. "While it is customary here for persons who have redeemed land from tax sale to ob-tain and record either a certificate of re-demption by the treasurer or a quit claim deed or release from the tax sale purchaser, yet it is possible that redemption may be ma.de without being followed by any such record of the fact. "If the books of the treasurer's office have been properly kept, they should disclose at once what bonds have been redeemed, when and by whom, and should be the most au-thentic source of information as to those facls. Respectfully, "Walter Mi rpht, "County Attorney." It was ordered tiiat the clerk procure from the treasurer a list of all pr. perty sold to the probate judtfe since 18o9, and redeemed by the owners, and then present this cer-tificate to the recorder and obtain from him a certificate of the parcels of property for which a deed should be issued to the pro-bate judge by the clerk.

Accoru present programme of the leaders of the aa-jorit- y, the tariff question will be practically the only matter under consideration in the house during the week, and at its close two, and possibl bree, separate tariff bills will be transferred to the senate. The wool and woolen bill is rapidly near-in- g the final vote. General debate aas ceased and the five minutes' limitation applies to speeches upon any paragraph of the bill or any proposed amendment. There is some talk to the eJect that the bill will be passed today by a two-thir- d vote, under a suspen-sion of the rules; but this will not be ac-cepted, as all opportunity for amendments will be thereby be cut off. The republican minority has a large num-ber of substantial amendments to offer, and the onportunity to discuss and vote upon these and other amendments will be freely offered. Therefofe it is probable that the committee of the whole will not come to a final vote until tomorrow afternoon at the earliest. J The binding twine bill will follow the wool bill. It is believed by the speaker that a few hour? of general debate on each side will be sutiicieut to bring the measure to a vote, and perhaps it can be acted on in season to permit the bagging bill to be taken up before the week closes, unless there should be a disposition to debate the binding twine and bagging bills at considerable length. The appropriation bills will be suffered to wait upon the tariif bills. With the pi ' exception of the urgent deficiency appropri-ation bill, none of them are likely to be taken up this week. The Indian appropriation bill is expected to come up in the senate this afternoon as there is pending but one motion, viz.. to strik.-- . out the provision conferring to asroy officers the duties of Indian agents. It is believed that the bill can be passed in half an hour. Then Senator Morgan's resolutions are to be called up, and the senate is to enter upou , a thorough discussion of the silver question, as well as the depression which it is asserted exists in agriculture. Senator Morgan him-- J self undertakes to open the debate, which! will doubtless occupy the entire week, bum the order in which the senators will speali has not beer, further arranged. M SHE'S HER LOVER'S HEIR. iRobinson Left a Will Leaving His I'rop-- I erty to Mrs. Hetherington, the Woman Who Caused His Death. San Jraxcisco, April 4. Additional in-formation concerning the Hetherington-Rob-inso- n shooting affray is learned from a pas-senger on the steamer Gaelic. Robinson left la newly-mad- e will. Before his death, how-ever, he added a codicil, makiuichis business partner the legatee, but requested him to carry out the original provisions of the will 3' giving Mrs. Hetheringlon the proceeds of the estate, which is not a large one, amounting to only a few thousand dollars. It is safe to say that she will never see a dollar of it. REMAINS OF THE TILDEN ESTATE. After Deducting Various Bequests and Ex-penses, $3,308,000 is Left for Heirs. White Plains, . Y. April 4. The ap-praiser of the estate of the late Samuel .1. Tilden filed his appraisal in the Surrogate's court yesterday.

HIS EXPLANATION IS VERY WAK. The Philadelphia "Press" Takes the Dis-tinguished JiJucaior to Task Again and tiives Him a Few Pointers iu the History of the Latter-Da- y Saints. The following is from the editorial col-umns of the Philadelphia J'rw: 'The strong dissent awakened in the east over the speech made by President Eii it of Harvard univer-sity in Salt Lake "ity, has drawn from him a dispatch to his friends in Boston. He tele-graphed from San Francisco to the Boston AAvrtier as follows: The report iu the Salt Lake Tribune is uutrust-ggatf- g - Poly;";. 's completely shirdined u a droctririB ol the Mormon church mid has been made a crime by the vots of mormons. I think that they should now be treated, as regards their property ritrhts arid their freedom of thought and ' worship, prnci-el- y like the Roman Catholics, the Jews, the Methodists, or any other religious de-nominations. President Flint's explanation does not ac- - quit him of indiscretion. In bis speech he placed the mormons on the same level with the Puritans, because they both endured hardships and prse itions and sought a home in the wilderness where they could enjoy religious freedom. The obnoxious ?eutences as reported read in this way: As 1 came over the plains, 1 thought of thut early journey when the tirst coiouists marched across under the guidmce of a Christian church, and this minded me of another pilgrimage, though across water. I refer to the Pilgrim ' fathers. They, too, went, a long way to escape persecution; they, too, suffered hardship for principle; they, to, were tired with religious enthusiasm, and sought freedom alo to wort-hi-j God. In planting M,coluv, it is the womn "ho have 'tie harder' part. They died faster than the men ui Mas-- a BMMte Let us bear in em hearts the memories of any Christian women going out ' to ylant b. new i olony. The great, soccesofa 1 i colonies of the world ire founded on religious enthusiasm, and here voii founded a olony that you might worship tiod according to the dictates of your consciences. Here in this valley has arisen the question of religious liberty, and I de sire to speak OB this greatest of themes. It it not necessary to President Eliot that the only "principle" for which the mormon pers was their obstinacy ii: practicing polygamy. If they had been willing toabaudou their im.norality they would have been allowed entire religious freedom anywhere. in his speech he praised them tot the hardships they endured to establish polygamy, and in this explana-- i tion he. says thif praise was intended for the nr&sent mormons church, which has abar'.- - doned polygamy. That, is say the least, is hardly consistent. How did the mormons cime to abandon their polygamous prac-tices? Pri sideut Eliot knows that it was only aftejthe stern hand of the law was laid upon them, and ft-;- r they had tried every subterfuge to circumvent the law and to antagonize the moral sentiment of the ua- - That the mormons were pleased with President Eliot's address is natural. At the close of bis speech President Woodruff, of the mormon church, rose uud thanked Mr. Eliot and said that, "every Lattter-da- y Saint can say yea amen to it. I hope the day will come when Utah will enjoy the principle of religious liberty just as Mnssai husetls does." Apostle Richards, in the benediction, thanked God for sending President Eliot to speak to them with such words of nobleness and truth. To earn such commendation from leading mor mons, who would be practicing polygamy today if they darei, is enough of itself to create the suspicion Unit President Eliot had not spoken a harsh word of an institution which has earned the name of being the "t win ijife.fiiy with slaviy." Unfortunately there is more evidence that the tenor of Mr. Eliot's speech has Dot been misconstrued. He is reported to have used the following language in private conversa- - tiou with a ei1izcn of Salt Lake City: j "Christians," he said, "generally had no scruples about reverencing Old Testament characters whose lives w, re polygamous if anything, but let a Latter-Da- y Saint think of taking a second wife and the entire country is up and in arms." If this re-- j mark is authentic, the explanation Presi-dent Eliot ii&a telegraphed from San Fran cisco appears in a still weaker light. The more the subject is examined the more evi-dent it becomes that when he left home he forgot to pack his common sense in the grip sack he took with him. THE COURT RECORD. The Alleged Forger Leads the Day's Dock-et Before Judge Anderson in the Districc Oourt. THIRD WEEK IN THE MINING SUIT. Kriggs and Johnson to Account for a Forged Signature Keleased from the Pen A Ticket Scalper in the Toils. The people vs. F. B. Gilford; forgery. The people vs. F. A. Wilcox ; forgery. The people vs. John Berry and Thomas Heenan; burglary. The people vs. Alexander Johnson; for-gery. The people vs. Ben F. Driggs; forgery. The people vs. William Schode ; renting a house for gambling. The foregoing cases, four of which reveal the desperate and unEoly devotion of man-kind to the shrine of mammon, were posted in Judge Anderson's department of the dis-trict court this morning. The Day's Digest. Proceedings on the calendar began with the trial of F. B. Gilford, a ticket scalper, who is charged by the Union Pacific with having trifled with the date on a ticket be-tween Salt Lake and Provo and with tryiug to overtake Old Calendar and distance Time with the scratch of a pen. There were two indictments against Giffard. The first charged him with uttering the forgery. That he defeated. Now comes the accused to answer the in-dictment setting up the forgery. Lawyer Morse who is defending him fired in a mo-tion to release the prisoner on the ground of former acquittal this morning which the court took under advisement for the time. Just Like Banquo. The case that involves Ben F. Driggs and Alexander Johnson rolled around in its reg ular order this morning. The defendants are both members of the bar, and the spec-tators are eager to see how far legal and ju-dicial zeal will go in the effort to take an "example" from its own craft. Johnson charges Driggs with having forged the sig-nature of Judge Hoge to an instrument on which the wind was raised, and as a return shot Driggs accused Johnson of havingcora-mitte- d the crime. Both contend that they have overwhelming proof of the others' guilt, while among the bar the case has thus far settled down to a question of veracity between the vocal duelists. Court Notes. Sheriff Weber of Summit county was in the city Saturday. There will be a setting of civil jury cases before Judge Anderson tomorrow at which time a full attendance of the bar is desired. In the case of the United States vs. Isaac Sears, charged with adultery, the defendant is ordered to plead on Wed uesday. Lawyer Anderson, who has been corjMned to his room for severl days, is looking after the interests of his clients once more. The application of Candidate Nelson for admission to the bar was referred to Attor-neys Morse, Riley, and Putnam as an exam-ining board. Doc Sprague's voice has gone down before the desolating effects of bronchial troubles. The court was opened by proxy this morn-ing, the whistle refusing to toot. Deputy United States Marshal "Doc" Nor-ril- l, whose jurisdiction extends over the southern district was among tne visitors to the city Sunday. Judge Powers went down to Provo this morning where he appeared for the defend-ant iu the case of the people against Troudle Doutre, charged with murder. Joseph Snyder sent up for eitrhteen months from Ogden where he was convicted of grand larceny was this morning released from the penitentiary. Clerk McMillan is still engaged in refund-ing illegally levied school taxes. He will continue with the assistance of Deputy Clerk Loomis until every man has his check. The Northland-Mayflowe- r mininsr suit to determine the apex and award the rights under it, began its third week before Judge Zane this mornmsr, the defense continuing its flood of testimony.
