I A German Inventor Who Made a Swap With John Beck, the Min-ing- Man. Wants Money. MISS JENSEN'S GEIEVAN0E. She Claims to Have Been Wrongfully Esfused Admission to Wonderland. The Daily Divorce Case Injunction Suit Against the Saltair Kail way Fight Over a Dead Woman's Money. John Beck will probably be the defendant in an interesting action that will be com-menced in a short time. Mr. Beck's friends will remember that in the spring of 1889, the capitalist made a tour of Europe, and it is alleged that while in Stuttgart he met a German genius named Gottlieb Kimmick, who had patented an in-vention for unhitching horses. Mr. Beck, it seems, was the owner of a patented steam cooker, and the two men decided to swap the patents. Mr. Beck valued his at 60,000 marks, while Kimmick thought his was worth 85,000 marks. An agreement was made by which Beck was to give Kimmick the cooker and 25,000 marks for the contriv-ance for unhitching horses, the business to be done through the banking house of Stab! fc Federer, at Stuttgart. The exchange of patents was made, but Kimmick alleges that Beck has not yet paid over the 25, (XX) marks, and that since then the patent for the cooker has been declared void. The German is represented in this country by an eminent St. Louis attorney, who has instructed Glen & Gunter to bring suit against Mr. Beck for $6000, with interest. the" natural gas.

There was a fair attendance of the stock-holders of the company and considerable interest was taken. At the time of going to press the meeting' was still in session. More Corporations.

The movement of the interna-tional -- ilver conference is commended and a modification of the silver act of 1890 to enable the president to regulate silver pur-chases is recommended; while the adminis-tration of Harrison is strongly endorsed, no mention is made of instructions to delegates for him.

Madison, Iowa, May 5. A disastrous wreck occurred on the Santa Fe road twenty-fiv- e miles west of here this morning.

Thirty-fiv- e people are reported to have lost their lives in the wreck or by drowning in the swollen stream. A reporter has gone to th scene. SEVEN WERE EU-aD- . Chicago, May 5. --MeagrV details have been received by the AtchisorK Topeka & Santa Fe road of the frightfulS. wreck at Mam, Missouri. The Chicago liiAUed from San Francisco was thrown through bridge near there at 8 o'clock this morning. So far as known all the cars of the magnificent train loaded with trans-continent- passen-gers bound eastward were buried in tiie waters of a flooded ravine. It i6 known that many were crushed to death and drowned, and more injured. From the best informa-tion so far obtainable seven were killed and twenty-thre- e injured. Xo names have yet been received. At the scene of the accidenl a fifty-fo-arch spans a usually dry ravine. It is sup-posed the recent heavy rains weakened and finally displaced it. This train is usually well filled with the best class of passengers, a score of whom are believed to have been drowned. Among the killed are the engineer and fireman. The disaster was caused by a waterspout filling the ravine and carrying away the bridge. The train plunged directly into the water from the broken rail6, and the c-- s must have piled on top of one anoijrr. The train usually has seven cars. FoaMfelt are the names, so far as learned, of vSjf KILLED. LOU MARKEE LUTHER CORNELIUS, residence un known. INJURED. ANDY ROUNAN, express manager, of Chicago; W. A.

Judge Beattie, tha Complainant AJu Leave to Put in Specific In-terrogatories. Judge Zane Decides to Have a Full In-vestigation, and Sets the Hearing for Saturday Morning. There was a large attendance of attorneys in Judge Zane's court this morning, It being generally understood that some actiou would be taken in the matter of the charges made against Assistant Lulted States Attor ney Frank B. Stephens by Judge C. Stewart Beattie, of counsel for the plaintitf in tha case of Alex Wood vs. The Blue Jay Mining company. The charges in full, which were pub-lished exclusively in last night's Time?, alleged among other things that Mr. Stephens obtained from the clerk of tha court a certain deed executed by Louis Tofto to the Blue Jay mining company, ostensibly for use in the grand jury room in the Inves-tigation of criminal charges against Jack Bolton and others, and had REFUSED TO RETURN THE DOCUMENT, stating that he didn't have it; also that Mr. Stephens had had frequent and long con-versations with Bolton and the witnesses against him, and Intimating generally that the prosecutor was acting in collusion with those parties. As soon as Mr. Stephens could GET THE EAR OF TIIE COURT he said that the charges made against him were serious. He was prepared to proceed at once and read his answer, in which he alleged that he had no information as to "what had become of the deed, that he had never seen it; that the charge that he had had frequeut and prolonged consultations with Bolton as entirely false; that he permitted no one to go before the grand jury except in the regular way ;that he WAS NOT INTERESTED in the Blue Jay Mining company or in any matter collateral thereto. "Now your honor," said Mr. Stephens, "I know nothing about this deed. If I had it, I would gladly communicate the fact to Mr. Wood or his attorneys. These are ser-ious charges and should be investigated fully, because the court ought to have con-fidence in its officers." The gentleman then proceeded to read THE ANSWER OF MR. VARIAN in which he denied that the deed in question was delivered to him by the elerk of the court for use before the grand jury; that it was not pn cured by him from the clerk as a pretense, and that l.O had no recollection of having pro ;ured it at all ; that he had never read the deed, and knew nothing about it, wherefore he asked that a hearing be had and the proofs taken. "It is well known by these parties," said Mr. Stephens, "that I know nothing about this matter, and such charge ought not to have been made and published in the news-papers. Mr. Varian I suggest that fyou rest now and let the court set a day for the hearing. JTTDGE BEATTIE TAKES A HANI). - At this stage, Judge Beattie arose and said: "There has never been a thougnt among any of us, your honor, that Mr. Var-ian had anything whatever to do with tha loss of these papers. Beyond the fact that he has too much confidence in his assistant, we have no fault to find with him. I agree with Mr. Stephens that these charges are very serious, and ask that the matter be set ' for hearing and I ask leave to file specific in-terrogatories which, If they don't reach hia conscience, may MAT TICKLE HIS MEMORY A LITTLE. Mr. Varian What method will we pursue, your honor? Judge Zane These charges are quite seri-ous. I don't see that It is alleged that Mr, Stephens has the papers in his possession. Mr. Stephens That i not charged. Judge Beattie The charge is information and belief that he had them in his possession before the grand jury. AN OPEN INVESTIGATION. Judge Zane The investigation will he an open and thorough one. Judge Bennett It certainly ought to be thorough. Will we be allowed to file thesa interrogations ? Judge Zane No, that is not the practice here. The investigation will be held in, open court, and if the charges are sustained the consequences will be serious. If not, counsel ought to be more careful in making such charges. Let. the matter be set for hearing on Saturday at 10 o'clock. A DAMAGE SUIT BREWING. Parties Who Claim They Were Wrongfully Refused Admission to Wonderland. Another damage suit against the Wonder-land amusement company is brewing. It is alleged that a short time ago Carrie Jensen and her sister, who were the daugh-ters of a bishop in the mormon church, visited that popular place of amusement, Wonderland, aud purchased tickets. On reaching the-doo- r they were refused admis-sion, and the door keeper took the tickets back to the office. It is further claimed that when asked to explain, the door keeper inti-mated that he declined to admit the parties on the ground of character, and they were, of course, greatly incensed at it. Glen 6i Gunter have been retained by the Misses Jensens, and it is expected that a suit will 60011 be brought to recover $2500 damages. Undoubtedly it was simply an error on the part of the door keeper to refuse admis-sion to the parties, his motive being the commendable, but in this case mistaken one of keeping out objectionable characters. CONGRESS TODAY. The House Goes Into a Committee of the WholeExclusion Bill. Washington, May 5. The house went in-to committee of the whole on the river and harbor bill. Holman spoke in opposition to the measure. THE PENSION INVESTIGATION. In the pension oflice investigation yester-day Enloe called the attention of the com-mittee to the fact that Secretary Noble de-clined to furnish the papers relating to the dismissal of spacial pension examiners, al-though he promised to furnish any papers wanted. Enloe asked that the house be re-quested to take action in the matter. He wished to see the papers because he believed Theodore Smith had preferred unjust charges against a number of employees, and he took the refusal to furnish the letters to be because they would bring out facts not creditable. Mr. Brosius (Penn.) protested against in-ferences against the integrity of any officer of the government arising from his asser-tion, it was a constitutional right to con-trol removals without being answerable to congress. Chairman Wheeler said that Noble got his power, not from the constitution, but from congress, which by statue had conferred the power of appointment of inferior officers or heads of departments. The commiltee adjourned to give the members an opportunity to investigate the legal questions involved before deciding on a course of action. EXCLUSION OF TEI CHINESE. Mr. Geary (California) presented the con-ference report on the Chinese exclusion bill, and demanded the previous question on the adoption of the report, and notwithstanding the protest of Mr. Hooker (Mississippi), it was ordered. Mr. Hitt (Illinois) opposed the report. The senate bill was an objectionable thing to him, but he recognized the urgent neces-sity of prompt legislation, and, in deference to the wishes of the Pacific coast, he would not hve antagonized it. The conference bill was better than the house bill, but the certificate provision was now abominable. Never before In a free country had there been enacted such a system of tagging a man as if he were a dog. Never before was such a law applied to a human being, ex-cept convicts and slaves. He would vote to continue every existing law, but, speaking for the honor of his country, he appealed to the gentlemen to observe its plighted faith. The measure was in violation of a pledge, which no man could vote for without a blush. Mr. Hooker, in opposing the report, said that in its present shape the bill virtually suspended the writ of habeas corpus, and against this he earnestly protested. Mr. Geary denied that the bill suspended the writ of habeas corpus. The measure was intended to stop up the leaks in the ex-isting law. The conference report was then agreed to yeas, 1S5; nays, 28. The following votes, were in the negative: Messrs. Andiew, Bow-man, Belknap, Betlzhoover, Brosius, Bush-nel- l, Castle, Coburn, Coolidge, Cox (N.Y.,) Craig, Culbertson, Curtis, English, Epes, Grady, Oris wold, Grout, Harter, Haughen, Hemphill, Herbert, Hitt, Hoar, Hooker, (Miss.,) Miller, Powers and Storer. The house adopted a resolution calling on the attorney-genera- l for information as to whether the sugar trust had violated the anti-tru- law, and if so, whether prosecu-tion had been instituted for such violation. Mr. Scott of Illinois, who originally offer-ed a resolution, spoke in denunciation of the sugar trust, and in favor of the proposi-tion. After some further debate the resolu-tion was adopted. On motion of Mr. Holman the house went into a committee of the whole for the consideration of the general appropriation bill. The sundry civil appropriation bill was first taken up. Mr. Blanchard of Louisiana, demanded that the bill be laid aside in the interest of the river and harbor bill. Mr. Holman objected and the facts were reported to the house, which decided, 128 to 48, to lay the sundry civil bill aside, and the committee resumed its session. The postoffice and fortification bills were also laid aside, and the river and harbor, bill taken up. Without any action upon it the house ad-journed. Walhington, May 5. The president ap proved the Chinese bill this afternoon. The bill was sent to the president at noon, as it was contended by some that the exist-ing Chinese restrictions expire tomorrow and that Chinese could freely enter the United States unless the president signed the bill at once. HARBOR DEFENSE VESSELS. Washington. May 5. Senator McPherson reported an amendment from the naval com-mittee to the naval appropriation bill pro-posing to increase the number of harbor defense vessels from one to three torpedo boats from six to ten and also provides for torpedoes and submarine mines, for which latter purpose $1,000,000 was appropriated. COMPTROLLER LACEY WILL RETIRE. According t a Washington correspondent, Comptrol'e': Lacey has under consideration eeveral otters made recently to take the manng'ment of one of several banking institutions in Chicago. He says he has not yet decided which ho will accept.

Charles Crane, once prominent in this city as a promotor of business enterprises, re-turned to Salt Lake from California last night in custody of Deputy Marshal Arthur Parsons. The news that Mr. Crane had been indicted for embezzlement. and that an officer had been despatched for him, which appeared exclus-ively in Tuesday's Times, created something of a sensation, and the 6equal was awaited with interest. Deputy Marshal Parsons found Mr. Crane at Chico, California, where he was employed as a book-keepe- r for a hardware firm. A Times reporter found the prisoner at the marshal's office a few min-utes after his arrival, and asked for a state-ment. "I don't want to try my case in the newspapers," said Mr. Crane, "but have no objection to giving you any information that I can." "What did this charge grow out of?" asked the reporter. "Well, I organized the Salt Lake Building and Loan association in April, 1889, and re-mained with it until a year ago last October. After going out, it was found thaH I owed the company about $165, which Vas due, perhaps, to a clerical error. I waswilling to settle it, however, and had an Loffsett against the company ol .ki, .v i wanted' credit for. The company refused to allow this, and I declined to settle on any other terms. I jemained in the city until July last, and not a word about a criminal pro-ceeding was spoken. After I had gone, the matter was taken before the grand jury and an idictment was found. Now it is reason-able to suppose that while I was hand-ling all the funds of the company, and could have taken $10,000 as well as $105, I would have embezzled the latter amount? Again, I knew six weeks ago that this in-dictment had been returned, and could easi-ly have left Chico and avoided arrest had I so desired. Don't you think I would have done so if I were guilty of this charge? The fact is that I expected an officer to come there, and I was ready to return, believing that I could establish my innocence. Now that is all I have to say, and perhaps more than I ought to say at this time." Mr. Crane w.li probably have his bonds flxedi n the morning, and will then obtain his release. A DEAD WOMAN'S MONEY.

Deeming has a very downcast in the past twenty-fou- r hours and abandoned all attempts at cheer-fulness.

He ex-presses no rsgret and makes none of the .:5'.il profession of repentance and declines ' to see the jail chaplain or clergyman. The biography which Deeming is writing deala at length with the killing of his wife and children. The gOT8orf the jail has seen the manu-script and aays the story is incoherent.

U. are doing an excellent work among the lowly. 'I here are 15 varieties of strawberries and occasionally one gets into the shortcake. Ed Dolan describes a "tin-hor- n gambler" as a man who "plays 5 cents on the ace." The soldier Indians at the post are learn-ing to smoke cigarettes. Heretofore the noble red man has been accredited with some sense. Salt Lake printers are bestiring themselves for the coming of George Childa of the Phil-adelphia Jjedfffr, and who is the patron saint of the typographical union. The postmaster frequently has inquiries for 00 aud 90-ce- nt postage stamps ones, but he is unable to supply them to stamp collectors. The 90-ce- stamp is sel-dom used save by banks, for the reason that a package heavy enough to require a 90-ce-stamp can more satisfactorily be sent by express. Yesterday afternoon an old lady, very evidently from the rural districts, accom-panied by a boy, came along to the corner of S ate and Second South streets, where the Rapid Transit's Murray car was waiting to take on passengers. Hurry up, mother," said the boy, "here's our car and its go-ing." "Nonsense, Joseph," replied the old lady. "They ain't got the mules hitched on yet" An old countryman, who admitted having not visited the city before for twenty-si- x yeais, wa6 standing iu front of McCoy's sta'bles on Second South this morning, gaz ing long and earnestly at the Commercial bank building opposite.

I WHAT THEY SAY OF US. Mr. A. L. Pollock has leased The Times, the initial number of the paper under the new management appearing yesterday. There is a held for a good evening paper in this city, and if The Times should adopt a policy of advancement for Salt Lake City and Utah we believe it will receive the hearty support of the enterprising business men of this city. We wish Sir. Pollock and his associates success, and hope they will devote their best efforts to legitimate news-paper work, thus avoiding the resurrection of old animosities and abuse which the two morning parpers are devoting too much space to. Hotel Rrjiorter. The Salt Lake Times came out under a new management last Monday evening, bearing at the head of its editorial page the name of A. L. Pollock, lessee. The Tiees shows a marked improvement on all its pages and in every department, and tells the public that it will be a newspaper above all else, "with a mission, but without a muz-lie,- " from which we infer .l.hat it will be a political free lance.
