Frank Kono, an intelligent appearing Jap, raised a rumpus in the Japanese Larem ou Franklin avenue last evening and brought an exciting seance to a close by firing, with intent to kill, three shots from a revolver at a fellow couniryman, M. Shimize by name. The affair created a great racket in the once lively avenue, but every effort on the part of the olScers to learn the true inwardness of the trouble resulted in failure. Kono, who is employed by James Glen-dinnin- g as a bouse servant, was under the nfluence of liquor at the time and has since been accused of being too fond of one of the Japanese in aids whom Shimize looks upon as his ownest own. In the police court this morning he en-tered a plea of not guilty and asserted that Shimize was a very dear friend of his. He will be given a hearing this afternoon. A WRECKED VAGRANT. Joe Welch, a trembling specimen of hu-manity, who is on the verge of delirium tremens, stammered "not cuiltv" to the charge of being a Yajrrant. The arresting officer said that he had been on a drunk for two weeks and the prisoner asserted that he was until recently employed on the Fif-teenth ward school building. The court gave him twenty days. THS STAR ASAIX APPEARS. Eph Kelly, the old and reliable soak, was sent to Raleigh's sanitarium for twenty-fiv- e days. A PRODIGAL RETURNS. William Nixon, who for a few months al-lowed his manhood to obtain ascendancy over drink, but has again taken to the gut-ter, was arraigned on the double-barrelle- d charge of druukenness and disturbing the peace. He was sent to jail for ten days. DEE, John Dee, whose sentence of five days for drunkenness expired this morning, was ar-raigned for obtaining a meal under false pretenses from Al. Christenten, on the 27th ult., and a plea of not guilty entered. As soon as this charge is disposed of he will be tried for disturbing ttie peace and resisting an officer. OUR CORN IS KING-- .

The Agricultural Department Causes the Introduction of the American Product in Europe, and by Practi-cal Demonstration Proves Its Util-ity as a Cheap. Palatable and 'Wholesome Food Article. London, Oet. 1. C. J. Murphy, special representative in Europe of the agricultural department of the United States, has writ-ten a letter to Consul New here, staling that Charles S. Calvin will open a new Indian corn mill this mouth, and will grind only American corn. He has the latest American machinery. This makes two mills in Hamburg for the exclusive grinding of American corn. The first mill erected had to run night and day and then was unable to fill orders. Colonel Murphy adds that he ex-pects to put corn in every part of the country. He will commence be giving away samples of meal in large quantities. A larjro bakery is soon to be opened in Berlin in which nothing" will be produced except the products of corn. A repori of the government commission to ex-amine into the uses of corn is to be issued it is expected will be highly favorable. Hnntingtou, who was at the switch board, was thrown to the floor by the shock. An-other younj lady, Mus Singleton, who was la the room, ran out screaming from fright. This caused a lare crowd of people to rush to the otlice, but by the time they arrived Miss HuctiDtrtoa had recovered to sufficiently explain that no lives were loct. The De Lane-Risin- g Comedy company played to a small house last night. Tho s tor in prevented many from "attending "Tangled Up." The serpentine dancing by Miss Lottie Mortimer was fine and greatiy appreciated by tho audience. "Tansfled Up" is full of ridiculous situations and created a great amount of fun. Jacob Katfleid and Miss Laura Phail of Springvllle received a inarriaga license from County Clerk Halliday yesterday. W. T. Jack, representing F. Auerbach & Bro., is at the Cosmopolitan. The First district court opened yesterday at 10 o'clock. The followiu? aliens were naturalized: X. A. Nielsou, James P. Nielson and John Yearusen. Ole P. Borg, arraiened yesterday on a charge of unlawful cohabitation, plead sruilty and promised to obey the law iu the future. Judge Blackburn imposed a fine of $100 and costs. Mike Russell, the Italian charged with forgery, was brought into court to plead, but no interpreter "having been secured, he was again remauded to the custody of the officers. An eilort will be made to have an interpreter today. The grand jury reported six indictments. Judge Blackburn instructed the grand jury to direct its investigations to public officials, jails and other public buildings, and if it found any officials no; properly conducting their duties, to indict them. If jails or pub-lic buildings were not kept in a proper con-dition, that fact Ehould be reported. T V Htrmnn and .Teni Hftnrirhafln wri FROM UTAH TOWNS.

Otter-bac- k, last Monday morning. The boy's skull was fractured by the violent contact with one of the horses' hoofs and lingered until Tuesday evening, when his spirit fled. He did not regain consciousness after the localities in tho territory. The vegetable biblts were simply immense, notable among which was so attractive display from tha garden of J. Bsisbury of WellaviUe, a u5-scri-to The Timbs, who snowed some fine cauliflowers, onions, etc, one of tho former weighing fourteen pounds. There were other exhibits equally as attractive. It l thought, now that iatersst has renved in agricultural display and exhibits, that nest year will witness at the Cache county fair an unprecedented showing of the pro-ducts of Cache valley, and especial efforts will be made to make Cache county tha banner county in Utah in the exhibition of live m stock, agricultural and horticultural pro-ducts. . s. Yesterday inaugurated two day of HORSE BACrXO , of which today will be the last of the meet. The races yesterday were inter esting and woll attended. There was, however, no racing that attracted especial notice. The best time made in the trotting mile heats was by Monarch owned by M. Bigler of Mendon; time, 2:53. Several run-ning races of half and quarter mile dashes followed, respectively won by May Queen and a black pony, the latter recently taken up from a herd just in from Arizona. He proved a revelation when the result was an-nounced, and although the last to start came in a handsome winner, notwithstanding he was anything but a favorite in the pools. It is likely that some day in tha near future ho will astonish soma of the turfmen in Salt Lake City and other points in Utah. Certain it is that he is an "amoosing little cuss," as Herman Beckhurts would put it. Today it i thought that the races will be more attractive, and everybody in the val-ley is expected to witness them. The track is very tine, although it is only a half mile around, and the association is entitled to great credit for the perfection they haTe reached in its construction.

The section hand, who was so severely in-jured on a Utah Central hand car last Mon-day evening, is lying at the Park City hotel in a comotoee state and is barely conscious at intervals. Dr. Le Compte, who attends him, says that his lower limbs are hopeless-ly paralysed and that recovery is doubtful. SOCIAL. Mrs. F. J.

The indictment charges that Connors broke into the store of Blythe fc Lewis in Richfield, April 25, 1592, and took away a gun, some knives and other hard-ware to the value of $50. Connors had no money to employ an attorney, and E. A. Wilson was appointed to de.erid him. After a consultation with Mr. Wilson he stated he would plead today. John Carson, a very old man from Fair-field, was indicted for unlawful cohabitation; but before he had an opportunity to plead, Prosecuting Attorney Zane asked to have the case dismissed on the ground that there was not sufficient proof to convict. He said that an indictment should never have been found. The ease was dismissed. Anton Nieison entered a plea of guilty to a charge of adultery. Sentence set for "No-vember 7.

Last night about 11:30 o'clock, a fire started in the barn of Mr. T. H. Vincent, lo-cated four blocks west of the Rio Grande Western depot and about 3G0 yards south of the railway track. Mrs. Vincent discovered the fire and called her husband and son who had retired. They went to the barn and succeeded in caving all the animals except one work horse and two or three calves. The fire was burning fiercely when they reached the barn and the horse was so badly burned that they could not get him out. Tho cry of "fire" was raised, and, by the use of buckets they saved a small stack of hay. Fences were torn down and every thing possible done to prevent a spread of the fire. There was no wind, and it had rained some in the evening; these circum- - manufacturers of boots and shoes. Miss Ida Jones, adopted daughter of Judge J. D. Jones, has accepted the free scholar-ship for Utah, offered by the Utah conserva-tory of music iu Salt Lake City. W. H.

The favorite for delegate to congress is Joseph L. Rawlins, with Judge Henderson as a second choice. stances alone prevented the residence and granary from going up in the flames. . It is believed that the lightning caused the fire, and the fact that the horse Mr. Vin-cent was unable to save was burning when he reached the barn bears out this theory. The loss is estimated at $3500. There was $1500 insurance on the place but the flames spread so rapidly that the baru and other buildings, hay and straw stacks were destroyed before the" department reached the scene. When the lads arrived it was discovered that they had not brought Sufficient hose to connect with the nearest hydrant, through a supposition that the fire was located on the north side of the railroad track. This made it necessary for the fire-tca- m to return for the fire-engin- e, and it was fully an hour after the fire started be-fore the water was turned on. A large num-ber of citizens, attracted by the immense blaze, gathered. President Joseph F. Smith lectured to the students of the Brigham Yeung academy yesterday.

For several years past but little interest has been shown by the people In exhibiting the products for which Cache valley is so cele-brated, and now a revival of interest in that direction has resulted in ene of the grandest and most complete exhibitions ever inaugur-ated in Cache county. The live stock entries were well repre- sented and highly creditable, reflecting not only good taste but great enterprise on the part of the owners of stock throughout Cache valley and other localities within the county. The agricultural and horti-cultural exhibits were especially fine, and sustained the well-earne- d reputation of Cache county as being the most productive county in Utah. The fruits on exhibition were far superior to those raised in 8alt valley, being harder and entirely free (Lake worms, so prevalent in fruits in other October 15. In the same estate the petition of administratior for order setting apart ex-empt property and homestead for family of the deceased was set for hearing October 15. In the estate of Joseph John P. Peterson, deceased; appraisers were oppointed. About 7 o'clock last evening Provo was vis-ited by a thundar storm.

They Raise Charges to the Prohib-itive Point So as to Freeze Ont Owners f Coal Mines Who Would Otherwise impute Their Control of the Market A Tax to a Cruel Monopoly. A new phase of discrimination has been uncovered in this city which tends to sub-stantiate the claim that the railroads are strangling the beat interests of the people of this city in an octopus-lik- e grip of monopoly. The fact that it became necessary for the chamber of commerce to call the re. bate system employed by the rall-- v roads to the attention of the interstate commerce commission has awakened the liveliest interest among the small jobbers and dealers. The prompt action of the chamber of commerce in taking hold of this case and the admirable manner in which Secretary Sears arranged his batteries to play upon the strongholds of the railroad , companies has had a salutary effect and there appears to be no doubt that the relief necessary to legitimate competition among the commercial establishments of this city will be granted by the railroads without the necessity of a hearing: before the interstate commerce commission. But the new trouble is one which affects the interests of everv consumer of a pound of coal in this city. For some time it has been rumored that there was forming A COAL COMBINE in this etty which would control virtually every chunk of coal that entered the city and decree what price the city should pay, whether there was plenty or famine in the coal market. It was stated that the price ef coal would not depend upon the supply and demand, but upon the caprice and desires of a combine whose existence was fathered by an illegitimatu desire of extortionate gain. A Times reporter started out to learn the truth of the assertion that it was practically impossible for small jobbers to compete with the larger coal concerns of this city, because of unjust discrimination of the railroads. The reporter called upon Frank Kimball at McCornick's bank and inquired of Mr. Kim-ball if the report waa true that he had been shut off from engaging in the retail coal business by the discrimination of the Rio Grande Western Railway company. Mr. Kimball stated that the report was true. According to his account it would seem that he owns coal mines at Schofield, on the Rio Grande Western railway, which also is the supply noint of one of the largest coal companies in this city. About two weeks ago Tom Ellerbeck. who is well known in this city, called upon Freight Arent Bacbock at the Rio Grande Western offices to get a tariff schedule on coal per ton from Scho-field to Salt Lake. Mr. Babcock. was absent from the office, and a clerk gave Mr. Eller-beck the desired information from the regu-lar tariff sheet of the company. The rate given Mr. Ellerbeck was $2.30 ?er ton lamp coal from Schofield to Salt Later Mr. Kimball called upon Mr. Bab-cock. He stated to the freight agent frankly that he intended to begin a retail coal trade in this city and quoted the cost of digging and loading the coal on cars at (Schoflold. Mr. Kimball said he wanted a rate on coal on a par, or within a few cents at least, with the Pleasant Valley company, the stockholders of which are heads of de-partments of the Rio Grande Western rail-way. Mr. Babcock quoted Mr. Kimball a rate of $3.05, which was a difference of 75 cents between the rate offered a few dayt prior to Thomas Ellerbeck as the schedule tariff of the company. Mr. Kimball asked for an explanation, but the freight agent could offer nothing satis-factory. He virtually acknowledged that the Pleasant Valley Coal company CO?mtOTI.n THE RATE 031 COAL per ton from Schofield to Salt Lake, and he was powerless to do otherwise than obey orders. "It costs us," said Mr. Kimball, "one dol-lar per ton to mine the coal, say 50 cents to put it on the cars and $3.05 per ton to. haul it to Salt Lake, making a total of $4.55 to get the coal in Salt Lake. It retails for $4.75 it ton. You can easily see that the railroad company, by its arrangement with the big companies, can keep up the freight rate to a prohibitive point against the smaller firms here, while the larger concerns easily can control the city's coal market and regulate the price of coal to suit their own sweet will. I told Mr. Babcock that all I wanted was a square deal. I said I did not expect the Tate given the Pleasant Valley Coal com-pany, but I would expect the company to rome within a few cents of it. I said to Mr. Babcock that if it was his intention to shut off all possibilities of competition and keep up the possibilities of combination, it would be well for us to know it now. He replied that he was in his present of-fice in the interest of the railway company and that his employers were financially in-terested in the mines of Schofield. In mat-ter of fact the P. V. Coal company and the Rio Grande Western Railway company are nbont identical in these mines, so it is readily to be seen why the railroad will not make an equitable rato to shippers of coal from Schofield. "So long as such things are allowed to exist," said Mr. Kimball in con-clusion, "Just so long will the consumers of this city be at the mercy of a coal combine." . a-- A BIG ESTABLISHMENT. The Wagon & Machine Company Extending Its Facilities. One of the large mercantile establish-ments of Salt Lake is about to extend its accommodations materially and it will then be the largest emporium of its kind west of Chicago. It is the Wagon fe Machine company.

The Chief of the Utah Department Talks of It and Several Other Things. Don Maguire, chief of the mining depart-ment of the Utah World's Fair commission, returned to the city this morning. He has been down in the Green river country and reports some interesting discoveries. He has made a fine collection for the World's fair of lathrlte, a sort bf mineral rubber, and also good samples of Gilsonitc. "This section of Utah," said Mr. Maguire, "is a rich one and whole region is an unprospected mineral country. The Rio Grande Western Railway company is locating lands and pre-paring to develop this country extensively. Three and one-ha- lf miles below Greeu River I discovered some mineral springs, which much resemble the soda springs of IcLaho. They are in such conditioiylLow' that they are almost lmpossibla- - to be easily reached, but iu time they will prove of vast value to that section on account of their mineral properties. There U a vast unexplored region seventy-fiv- e miles below Green river of 2o, 000 acres, where the confluence of the Green and Colorado rivers occurs. Colorado capitalists are preparing to enter this country on the first of January next "One of the most interesting features of ray trip was to the remains of the cliff dwell-ers, the most of which has not been explored. I was in Dart canyon, one of the wildest and most mysterious canyons in the moun-tains. In this section of Utah there is the greatest unexplored field on the continent. Great risk is taken to go through this sec-tion, but to the archaeologist it is an unin-terrupted pleasure trip. It is a sealed book to the world at large. PerhaDB a wandering cowboy or daring cattleman has penetrated its dark recesses, but their report of its unwritten . wonders never have reached the outside world. Some day, when this region has been explored and its mysteries are known, it will be one of the wonders of modern times." Mr. Maguire reports his work progressing favorably and he is assured in the belief that Utah will be well represented at the World's Columbian exposition. . e LOCAL BRIEFS.
