Dr. Parkhurst's Recent Outing. Washington-- , May 28. Communicants of the Catholic church in this city are awaiting with interest further developments in what promises to be strained relations between Cardinal Gibbons and Bishop Keane, presi-dent of the Roman Catholic university, "rowing out of the recent reception to Dr. Parkhurst, who has come into public promi-nence by reason of his raids upon the New York dives. The New York divine was in-vited here to lecttre by a number of leading citizens, and invitations to seats on the plat-form were extended among others to the cardinal and bishop. Cardinal Gibbons in response wrote a letter in which he expressed his regret at his inability to be present, but in liberal language expressed his approval of the crusade upon which Dr. Parkhurst had entered. A letter was also received from Bishop Keane, but so far from being in accord with the cardinal, that eminent ecclesiast intimated in direct language that, he would not sit on the same platform with Dr. Parkhurst, and otherwise expressed him-self so strongly that those in charge of refraiued from reading it. Some one has taken the trouble to convey the facts to the cardinal, and although it is contended, on behalf of the bishop, that he did not know at the time the letter was written that the cardinal had already com-mitted himseif with pen and paper favorable to Dr. Parkhurst's crusade, it is nevertheless certain that the relations between the two dignitaries will not be as cordial for a while as they have been in the past. TOURIST TRAVEL. Instead of Going to Europe Eastern People Will Come West. New York, May 2S. Although the travel to Europe during the present spring and summer promises to bo very large, it wi 1 not, according to present indications, come up to the expectations formed by the steam-ship agents & few months ago, and the aver-ag- o will not exceed even if it equals that of 1890 and 1891. This is accounted for in a large measure, according to the tourists' and other traveling agencies, by the fact that wealthy Americans are gradually real-izing the fact that they might as well see all they can of their own country, instead of going abroad to seek the minor sights of Europe. The tourist travel this year to the far west, as a result, gives indications of being unprecedented. Colorado will have far more especially than its share of summer visitors, including some of the wealthiest of New York, Boston and Philadelphia resi-dents, who, making their headquarters at Colorado Springs and its adjacent suberb of Manitou, will make excursions through the state and over the border-line- , and through the mountains to the numerous points of interest in that region. Among" eastern people Colorado Springs particularly seems to have come into especial favor, not only as a place for summer recreation but as a health resort, and many of the most eminent X'hvsicians of the metropolis are recom-mending that place to their wealthy patients in preference to the Spas and health resorts of England and the continent. Cheney, a decree of notice to creditors was made, and an order was made discharging the administrator. In the matter of the estate of George Eck-ma- n, a decree of notice to creditors was made.

There will be about fifty cases on the calendar. The motion to quash service in the case of Joseph Simon vs. the B. $ M. railway in Nebraska was submitted this morning.

THE BLUE JAY CASE Jndsre Anderson Decides that Alex-ander Wood is Entitled to a Foreclosure. A GEEAT DAY FOR DIVORCES. A Hearing in the Case of the Tnscaroras ys. The Straight Outs In Judge ZanVs Court. Alex Wood has won his suit against the Blue Jay. Judge Anderson announced his decision in the case this morning in these words: "In this case I find, as a result of my in-vestigations, that Mr. Wood is entitled to a foreclosure of his mortgage. While, of course, this will work a hardship upon the purchasers of the stock, yet, to deny him the foreclosure of the mortgage or the can-cellation of the deed, would be to lake from him everything that was put into the com-pany and on which it was organized. There were some irregularities in the formation of the company, but if the property is as valuable as both sides seein to thing it is, the present owners of stock will not lose all they put into It. I think substantial justice will be done by granting tlie foreclosure, with a judgement for the amount of the notes, there being no claim of any pay-ments having been made. Arthur Brown Do 1 understand that your honor finds that the company was legally organized ? The Court Yes. Mr. Brown And that the deeds are not forfeited? The 'ourt Yes. Jurtrr Beattic I shall want to renew my motion for the uDpointment of a receiver as soon as the judgment is entered. The plaintiff is elearlv entitled to that. Mr. Kane Mrl Chamberlin, the president of the company, simply took charge of the property as an officer of the court, to report when called on. Mr. Brown It seems to me that there Is less necessity for a receiver than ever. We will appeal and give bonds. Of course this decision dissolves all injunctions, as the cor-poration is held to be a legal one. Jtidijr Beattie Mr. Wood was to have 50,-00- 0 shares of stock, and there is an injunction in force preventing the de-fendants from assessing his stock. Mr. BrommThCTQ is no suc h thing in this territory as stcck. If this mortgage is to be paid, it must le paid by assessments on all of the stock, his as well as the rest. Jmltje Beattie We will agree to leave that Dsue out of the case, and move in another direction to get at it. The Court ll will be but a short time until the appeal is taken, and ail that Mr. Wood is entitled to recover is pay for the mine. This ended the discussion and the attor-neys left to prepare their findings. TWO M ORK DIVORCES. One For Cruel Treatment and the Other for Habitual Drunkenness. "Can I get your honor to heir a divorce case ?" This question was put to Judge Anderson by W. C. Kcilly this morning as soon as the Blue Jay case was disposed of, and his honor replied that he was very busy, but would take time to dispose of the e ise. The plaintiff was Christine Ncwey; and and after being sworn she proceeded to tell the court her talc, of woe. It seems that in May ISM, Alfred Newsy wooded the p&in-tif-who had a ready-mad- e family of throe children by a former" husband. lie couldn't or wouldn't earn enough to keep the family, and Mrs. Newey went to work for Gabel the tailor. Newey was a man of vicious temper, and soon fell into the habit of beating his wife when things were not running to suit him. He frequently threatened to kill her, and more than once tried to do so. "Has he tried to kill you recently ?" in-quired the court. "Yes," answered the plaintiff, "and if my children hadn't come between us he would have done so." "Did he have any weapon?" "None except his hand . He is so strong that he needs no other w. apons." Mr. It-i- ll y Is there now a warrant out for his arrest on the charge of assault with in-tent to kill?" "Yes, but the officers haven't found him vet." Mrs. Belts testified that she worked with the plaintiff at the tailor Bhop, and on one occasion the defendant came there and choked his wife on the steps. "My boss went out to stop him," said the witness, "but he came back with a black eye." The decree was granted as prayed. ANOTHER. This case was no sooner disposed of than another claimed his honor's attention. The plaintiff this time was Martha T. Ensign, and she was granted a divorce from Horace J. Ensign, a druggist, on the ground of habitual drunkenness. The parties were married in this city in 1870. STILL ANOTHER. In the afternoon the divorce case of Olive Avery vs. Sylvester Avery was taken up be-fore Judge Anderson and a decree was granted on the ground of desertion, the de-fendant being in default. TLSCARORAS vs. S ItllGHT OLTS. Justice I.ochrie Issues Subpirnaes Duces Tecum for Several Witnesses. There will be a hearing in the suit of the Tusearora democrats against the straight outs after all. Justice Lochric this morning issued sub-potna-dmct letum for Judjre Iloge, Y. C. Hall, C. W. Hall, Harry T. Duke and A. G. Farrell to appear before him on Tuesday next at 2 p. m., and directing Commissioner Norrell to bring with him the books of the central committee, to recover which the ac-tion was brought. When the demurrer of Messrs. Norreil and Smith was ordered a short time ago, the defendants expressed their willingness to have judgment entered against them by default, but anparontly this did not meet the mind of the justice. There is apt to be some Inn before the case has been finally disposed of. After Long Years. After ten years of married life, Mrs. Ma-tilda G. Floyd this morning filed her appli-cation for a divorce from Axle Floyd in the Third district court. The parties were mar-ried in Ogden in December, 1882, and Mrs. Floyd alleges that in November, 1SS9, her husband, without cause, wilfully abandoned and has since continued tb live separate and apart from her. J. M. Caunon is the plaintiff's attorney. On Promissory Notes. S. E. Swing, the proprietor of the Cullen, has brought' suit against J. H. Van Horn, tho former manager of that hostlery, to re-cover $472.35, alleged to be due on a prom-issory note. Charles II. Evans has brought suit against Samuel P. Carlson to recover $750 with in-terest. Against the City. William-M- . Burns this morning brought suit against Chief Stanton and the city, and in his complaint he alleges that on May 23 the defendants forcibly took possession of the stabiesuilding on State street, near the Holmes block, and unlawfully tore it down. He claims damages in the amount of $2000. 8. H. Lewis is the plaintiffs attorney. Probate Court. In the matter of the estate of John Scott, the hearing on the return of Bale of real es-tate came on as per continuance. Barlow Ferguson was sworn and examined. The order of sale was confirmed. Tho additional bond of Barlow Ferguson in the sum of $2000' : was approved. i In the matter of the estate of Elijah "jOv " i .' J I v , t ENGLAND'S TRADE. It is the Subject of an Extensive De-bate in Parliament This Morn-ing: Dunraven's Speech. A PB0P0SED AD VALOREM DUTY. Canada's Proposition Brings the Ques-tion Squarely Before the House of Lords. Lonoox, May 2S. In the house of Lords Lord Dunraven moved for a copy of the motion agreed to by the Canadian parlia-ment on April 25th, regarding preferential trade with the United kingdom. He said he considered the motion a distinct proposal for reciprocity with every part of the em-pire. This is the first time such a proposal has been advanced by a col-ony in a practical shape. He thought the suggestion should be attentively received by Great Britaiu. Lord Salisbury made a very practical sug-gestion at tb;e beginning of the session, when he proposed the colonies be invited to confer with the home government on the subject. It would greatly increase Great Britain's export trade with Canada and ex- - pand her manufacturing industries. ; But as Great Britain levied no duties on I food imports it would be necessary to place an advalorum duty upon them. Purchasing reduction of duty imposed on British manu-factured goods by Canada by imposing a lower duty on Canadian raw food products imported into Great Britain, than that levied on similar imports from other countries. The duties on food products would only increase the prices of the loaf a farthing, and would give an immense impe- tus to corn growing in the British empire. The French duty on imported wheat has not increased the price of bread in France. He did not believe the adoption of his pro-posal would lead to any sacrifice of other British commercial interests and such a measure he held, was necessary to avert the disintegration .if the empire, which free trade is gradually producing. Lord Balfour, parliamentary secretary to the board of trade, replied that the matter was of the greatest importance to the coun-try if the government agreed to accept Lord Dunraven's motion, because it is ob-vious that parliament should know officially what specific resolution Canada had come t, but he hoped it was clearly understoad He did not agree with Lord Dunraven's arguments of policy foreshadowed in Can-ada's resolution. It would be impossible for Great Britain to free herself of foreign en-gagements without losing the advantages of great value to her. If she attempted to give Canada the preference on certain articles it must involve her in a policy of protection. Lord Dunraven's motion was agreed to. . . , HELD TO ANSWER. The Coroner's Jury Says Irvine Shot with Felonious Intent. Now that the excitement over the killing of C. E. Montgomery by W. H. Irvine ha died out somewhat a tangible account of the tragedy is presented The Times readers. A special from Omaha sent by a gentleman who was in Lincoln at the time the shooting occurred and who was an acquaintance of both parties is to the effect that public sym-pathy both in Lincoln and Omaha is on the side of the Salt Lake man, and that despite the fact that last night the coroner's jury rendered a verdict of felonious intent, the defense will upon a trial have a remarkably good case. Irvine suffered from nervous prostration subsequent to the shooting but is now recovering and is able to discuss the question of his defense with his attorney, Mr. Abbott, and it is said that a line of policy has been decided upon. Instead of waiving examination before the examining magistrate, the defense will submit testi-mony. Of course it is expected that the defendant will be held, but as soon as com-mitted an application for bail will be made, and the most sanguine believers in the cer-toint- y of his getting a term in the peniten-tiary at the least, believe that the application will be granted. The telegrams and resolutions sent from Salt Lake to Lincoln, together with the de-fendant's well known character, tend to place him in a very favorable light, and one of the leading members of the Omaha bar said last night, after the verdict of the jury was known, that had he been a member of that body he would have acquitted Irvine and held the dead body of Montgomery to answer. The iuquest developed the fact that one bullet carried with it a link of Montgomery's watch chain, which lodged in the right ven-tricle. This was the w ound which caused death. A demand was made by one of the coro-ner's jury for the papers mentioned in the previous dispatches, but they were by con-sent of counsel withheld. Both attorneys, however, stated that they contained a con-fession of guilt from Mrs. Irvine. The papers are in the possession of Attorney Ab-bott who secured them from the chief of police. KINGING KKSOLITIOSS. The Position of the Federated Trades Can-not Be Misunderstood. The Federated trades met last night and passed the following resolutions regarding the matter: Whereas, William H. Irvine, who has always ably defended and nobly stood for the rights of labor in the lower hoase of the legislature of Utah, and Wiikkeas, He in now confined in Lincoln, Ne' . for defending the honor of his fireside, therefore be it Rtxol i - il. That the Federated Trades asf emb'y of l'tah in me tine assembled do extend to V. II. Irvine our sympathy and heartfelt regret amidst the dark hour or his trouble; and be it further Resolved, That any aid that can be extended to him will be freely given; and be it further ResoltMtd, That these resolutions be spread on the minutes of this assembly and in the daily papers of tiie city, and a marked copy sent to the said V. 11.

It is Now Generally Believed That the Sandy Murderer in of Unsound Mind. ANOTHER DARING HOLD UP. John Boyd, the Victim, is Seriously In-juredArrested for Stealing Sheep Charged with Adultery. The preliminary examination of W. H Lewis, who shot and killed J. A. Gier at Sandy on Thursday, is being held before Commissioner Pratt this afternoon. Messrs. Murphy and Kichuur prosecuting, and Og-den llilcs defending. It is now generally believed that Lewis is insane, and his men. tal condition will of course save him from paying for his act with his life. Mr. Hewlett, a barber at Sandy, who drove Lewis to this city after the murder, is also in custody, as he is suspected of having had something to do with the matter. Gier's remains will be interred today. The examination was concluded at 4 o'clock this afternoon, the testimony being precisely the same as that given at thq cor-oner's inquest yesterday. The court held Lewis without bail and discharged Hewlett. FOLIC COUHT. t A Large Grist of Malefactors Run Throufitt the Judicial Mills. A motley herd of petty criminals confront, ed Justice Kesler when he mounted tho jo, dicial tripod this morning. On tho mourn-- o er's bench sat a young man with a battered! face who gave his name as H. Phelps al. though Dennis would have been much mora appropriate. Phelpb had a black eye, brokea jaw, swollen lip, bunged uose and sore ribs. Alongside sat Ciesar Plant the author of his misery under arrest for assault and battery. The latter pleaded guilty to having punched Phelps' chin around to the back of his nock but pleaded in exteuuation the fact that his. victim had slandered his wife outrageously and that from the mental effect it produced she was now ill in bed. The court lined. .i tar .5111 and told him next UlM to InvMtjU gate thoroughly prior to making any bad. breaks. "Dead drunk." called the court and in re-sponse there shambled hurriedly to the pris. oner's dock a palsied, misshapen, dirty, bruised, filthy, half naked wreck who in. accents trembling and gin laden asked to bef released as he was a sheep herder and could n't work. In order to rid the town of thl excresence the court told him to go. Wm. Cable pleaded guilty to being awfnVi drunk, so drunk he did not know when Uc was arrested. William was lined $5. Alexander Anderson, a small dirty man, from Grantsville said he came in yesterday to attend to some land office business thif morning but got full. His time to appea was 10 a. m. today. L'nless some friend put up he will not consult with Register Hobb4 before Wednesday. John Doe drunk forfeited $5 but James O'Neill told a pretty story and was dismissed. John Morrison said he had been working in the water in Parley's canyon for six weeks and had pains in his bones. He came hero-an-filled up with whiskey to drowu his an-guish and then tried to make people believo the Temple was the house of parliament and that he was going to blow it up. It cost him $5. Williams, the coon who has been workinc the southwestern part of town for grub stakes, was sentenced to thirty days foi vagrancy. , REPREHENSIBLE CONDUCT. A Wholesale Poisoning of Valuable Doga-b- Unknown Vandals. United States District Attorney Charles S. Varian is about as angry a man as can be found in this vale of tears. And he has good reason. Mr. Varian was up to this morning; the owner of as fine a St. Bernard dog as ever a man owned. The animal was worth $500 if he was worth a cent. This morning the noble animal was poisoned not fifty yards from the house. The dog being a family pet and possessed with more than or-dinary intelligence Mr. and Mrs. Yariau. were much grieved. Mr. Varian says that there havo been elve dogs poisoned in the neighborhood within a very short time and that be deoma it about time that the business should bo stopped. There is a enalty for poisoning animals or even putting poison out, and the punish-ment is three years in the penitentiary. In all probability some one will be made an example of. Sanitary Inspector Showell has donned hiss war paint and says he will prosecute tha first offender to the limit. Dogs are being poisoned all over the city. Yesterday 0110 died right in front of the police station. Some one will be apprehended and made an. example of. While the major portion of tho canines are worthless curs there are many valuable animals which ought to bo pro-tected. Charged with Stealing Sheep. William Duerden of Draper was arrested by Deputy Sheriff Cummock this morninp on a charge of stealing thirty-tw- o head of sheep belonging to W. W. and Frank Fitzger-ald, also of Draper. The defendant was taken before Commissioner Pratt and gavo bonds in the sum of $500 to secure his ap-pearance for examination next week. Ha claims to have bought the sheep and will be represented at the hearing by Powers Ss Hiles. Held for Adultery. W. Johnson was brought up from Provo this morning and taken to the peniteutiary. He was examined before commissioner Hills yesterday on the charge of adultery and was held to await the action of the grand jury-Bein- g unable to furnish bonds he will remain, in the pen until his case is disposed oL BEATEN BY THUGS. A Sacramento Man Held I'p and Robbed by a Trio of Foot-pnd- s. The Times didn't contain this item last night for it didn't happen until 9:30 after the paper had gone to press but it's exclusive just the same and will appear in the ancient histories tomorrow. John Boyd, a recent arrival from Sacra-mento, arrived in the city a few da) s ago in quest of work. He is originally from Pu-eblo. Last night about 0:30 he was walking up Main street below Third South when ho was set upon by three men who knocked him down and after heating him into insen-sibility robbed him of all the loose change he had about $4 in all. Boyd was picked up and taken to the office of Dr. Cautwell who dressed his wouuds. His head and face are horribly cut and bruised and the weapon inflicting tho wounds must have been an edged tool of some kind. He has several deep cuts in the top of his head, one at the left hand comer of the mouth and is badly bruised beside, his face and body bearing the marks of se-vere violence. He said he did not realize anything after the first blow was struck. He saw the three men approaching and then knew nothing untill, all cut and bloody, he was placed in the doctor's chair. --c. ...

A Horse Is Lifted Up and Deposited in a Two-Sto- ry Building A Child Gai-ned In the Air by the Storm. Wki.i.i.vgtox, Kan., May 38. The de-struction to life and property by last night's cyclone is terrible. In the darkness and confusion last night, it was impossible to realize the enormity of the calamity. The light of day invests the scene of destruction with a distinct and awful realization of its scope. The loss of life is appalling, the de-struction of property great. The storm was rotary, coming from the southwest, and de-scended on the city with appalling force. Suddenly it rose, sucking everything up and as suddenly dropping it. Trees were torn from thei" roots, houses spun 'round, freight cars lifted and carried 200 feet. Stoves were lifted up to second storys. In one instance a horse was takeu up and de-posited on a two-stor- y building. A LITTI.n CHILI) WAS TAKEN' Ol'T of the cradle, carried two blocks and depos-ited on the ground uninjured. The I06S of property in this city alone 1b half a million; nearly all large stock goods in the city wit; by the cloudburst w hich followed the cyclone. Reports from all the country west are very discouraging while there is no definite news. The in-dications of destruction is terrible. It is 6l.1V to say that 180 buildings arc wrecked and as many more partially demolished. All tin- casualties, are not yet known, but the following is as accurate as can now be made; 1; 1. I.ED. Mus.

J- - Forsythe. missing. Prof. Xayor and Hart Upson. Forty or fifty more were injured but not seriously. The greater portion of the city is com-pletely devastated, and the entire community consisting of five to six thousand people, thrown into consternation. The shouts of rescuers aie miugled with cries of suffering, while the unhurt rushed from their homes partially dressed. As soon as the wiutl sub-tide- d every able-bodie- d available man in the city engaged in the work of rescue, under the leadership of George Whitler, president of the council. It was 9 o'clock WHEN THE TORNADO DESCENDED on the town. The Lutheran church was turned completely over. The courthouse w as demolished. The Presbyterian cl&reb was reduced to splinters, and of the Speck-no- . 'k btoxk OO the principal street, composed of half a dozen 'brick buildings, 'Ruth. " 'ing was left but a pile of brick, mortar and laths. The Standard block, con-sisting of six brick buildings, was com-pletely wrecked. The Wellington Daily Mail and the Sumner County titairlard were pub-lisbe- d in this block. Their plants are utterly destroyed, as were the Monitor, Press and Voice in the Speeknock block. The foun-dry and stone works were leveled to the ground. Oa Washington avenue every house on each side of the street is unroofed. The opera house is a wreck, and the Phillips hotel is ruined. )ver half a dozen or more bodies will be taken from its debris. The principal church is in splinters, and the school house is a total wreck. Only one tel-egraph wire is in operation. Messages from Danville report a very disastrous cyclone at Sarper. Two hundred men are at work clearing away the Phillips house wreck. At least two more bodies are expected to be found there. A special train brought twelve physicians from Wichita. TWO OTHERS. Topeka, Kans., May 38 Meagre advices to :ama re road state the cyclone which de-molished Yellington also struck Harper ami Argonia. The latter town has 750 in-habitants, and is ih Sumner county. The former is the county seat of Harper county and has 2800 inhabitants. It is not known whether there was any loss of life, but the train w hich took the physician from Wich-ita to Wellington has gone onto these places with all doctors who can be spared. w A CHILD DROWNED. Ttw Treacherous Jordan Claims Another Victim This Morning. FELLI FROM THE RAILWAY BRIDCE. The Parents Crazed with Grief A I.arge Party Now at Work Searching I For the Ho.ly. Between 10 and 11 o'clock this morning, the child of Mr. Anderson, the well-know- n milk dealer who resides just over the Jordan, went with some other chil-dren to the bridge being Innlt by the Saltair Railway company across the river, and the little one walked out on the trestle work. When about half way across, the child fell into the water, and the others at once ran to Mr. Anderson's house and informed him of what had occurred. The parents were almost crazed with grief, and the sad accident created the most intense excitement in the neighborhood. A party was at once organized to search for the body, boats were proeurred, and the work was commenced without delay. Coroner Harris was notified at 11:30, and at once repaired to the scene, but no trace of the body had been found. The coroner returned to the city at 1 o'clock to obtain grappling irons and other im-plements to assist the searchers, and went back to the river again as quickly a possible. So far as can be learned, no one was to blame for the sad accident. --a. MISTAKES IN HISTORY. New Compilers Required in Salt Lake City at Once. According to the memoirs of the railroad department of one of the ancient histories the time on the Union Pacific'from Ogden to Chicago is 50j hours. The correct state-ment is from Salt Lake to Chicago as printed in The Times last week. The same writer asserts that the traveler from this section has no object in catching a morning train out of Salt Lake, as they are over-hauled by the afternoon fast trains before reaching the seaboard. Rats. The Union Pacific leaving Salt Lake at 6 a. m. arrives in Chicago at 9:30 a. m. the second day. The passenger can leave Chicago at 10:30 a. m. and land in New York at 2:10 p. m. next day. If he does not arrive in Chicago un-til 2:15 as stated by the daybreak sheet he doesn't get to New York until 7 p. m. A gain of five hours. See?
