The matter was taken up by the health de-partment, and it now transpires that tha grand jury afterwards took a haud in the investigation, and it U believed that indict-ments have been found, although the num-ber and the names of the persons indicted are unknown and will not be divulged until arrests are made.

A Big Damage Suit on Trial Tha White, head Cu, In the case of Fred "Whitehead vs. the 'Rocky Mountain Boll Telephone company. In which the plaintiff sued to recover $2500 (or injuries received through coming in con- - tact wun a "live" wire, me jury mis morn-lnt- r returned a verdict for the plaintiff for 1500. The case of James Fairclough vs. Salt Lake City, in which the plaintiff sued to re-cover fi'iO alleged to bo due as salary as garduer at Liberty park, was carried up, but the plaintiff wanted to amend too complaint, and the case waitaseed. In the little replevin suit of S. W. Steven-i- . '.iiMijiiiiy l ' x-- IJ'i"Ar6h) Tudgment was ren-dered for the plaintiff . , ' Tho case of Joseph F. Conner vs. the Ore-gon Short Line and Utah & Northern was then called for trial, Dey fe Street appearing for the plaintiff and P. L. Williams for the defense. It seems that in January, 1891, the plaintiff was employed by the raiiway com-pany as a brakemau at Idaho Falls. One lay while engaged in making a coupling his left leg was caught bet woe n the pilot and a freight car and so badly crushed that it had to be amputated. Conner claims that the accident was due to a lefective pilot-ba- r and draw-eye- , and claims Jamages in the sum of $15,000. The defense tlaims that the accident was in no wise due U negligence on the part of the company. Both sides .are making a strong fight, and the case may not reach the jury today. Fraudulent Assignmant Alleged. , The W. L. Douglas Shoe company this morning brought suit against Georsre A. Alder & Son et al., and in the complaint it is alleged that on October 1, 1892, the firm of Alder fe Son being wholly insolvent, its as-sets being $8000 less than its liabilities, was dissolved, George A. Alder retiring; that this was done In furtherance of a scheme to cheat and defraud the creditors; that on October 18, Georire A. Alder, with intent to cheat and defraud the creditors, made an assignment to S. R. Parkinson, unlawfully and fraudulently making Lydia 1). Alder and the Union National bank pre-ferred creditors. The court is asked to re-strain the assignee from paying the pre-ferred claims until this case can be heard, and that the preferences made be declared illegal, fraudulent and void as aeainst the claims of the plaintiff and the American Hand Sewed Shoe company and George H. White, and that judgment be given for them for their claims for merchandise sold. Jones & Schroeder are the plaintiff's attorneys. Cavaady Arrested. W. IT. Casady, who yesterday gave a bond of $1000 to secure his appearance for trial on the charge of adultery, alleged to have been committed with Mattie Sharp, was taken io custody by Deputy Marshal Charles Goodsell this afternoon, and was of course subsequently released. Not Fit for CltlKeashlp. Matt and John Newman, natives of Fin-land, applied for admission to citizenship in Judge Zane's court this afternoon. They displayed such dense ignorance that both were refused. . Monday' Settings. Mary Anderson vs. Thomas Venard. M. Thomas vs. I W. Williams et al. T. C.

Weather tomorrow, fair and warmer. Today's clearings, $284,014; same day last year, 2o8,814. The city council will meet ia adjourned session tonight. McCornick today received lead and silver ores to the amount of $5700. The markets are filled with long-eare- d rabbits, fresh from California. The mayor's veto of the purchase of the proposed pump for the sewage sump is in the hands of the recorder. The dog' business pays. Galeazzi now sports a new hat and is building an addition to his residence on North Sixth West street. The gratifying statement is made by a la-bor leader that at the present time there are but few union worklngmen out of employ- ment. Desk Sergeant McCurdy of the police de- - Eartment, who has been seriously ill of of the lungs, is now convales-cent. The coal ordinance, which it is fondly hoped will put a stop to short weight, etc.. will probably be passed by the city council tonight. Edward O'Brien and John Nelson were arrested this afternoon on suspicion of hav-ing stolen fifty grain racks from Grant Bros. livery stable last night Carpenters are busy at work on the Dooly I building lowering the wainscoting, which has shrunk almost an inch. The shrinkage was caused by the wainscotiae being put on whilo the plaster was green. The Carpenters' union is in a flourishing condition. At ita last meeting seven new members were admitted, and the hope is held out that in a short timo every competent handler of edged tools will be enrolled on its roster. The gravity sewage system will be dis-cussed tonight by the members of the city council. The last time they wrestled with the subject they debated it p.ro and con for one hour and twelve minutes and aceom-- I plished nothing. The new crematory is a splendid success. A trial run of 2000 gallons of night soil re-sulted iu a residue of clear, odorless afhes which an ordinary wheelbarrow could hold. The aBhes make a fine fertilizer and are al-ways in demand by progressive farmers. Miss Jennie Alexander and Een Steinman were married last evening at the residence of the bride's parents, Mr. and Mrs. D. Alexander, on Main street. The presents were profuse and costly, and the ceremony was witnessed by a select concourse of friends." ' Certain members of tho city council are very much afraid that . Recorder Ellsworth will retaliate by making an attack on their official acts. Ho does not think, however, that the game is worth the candle and will leave the gentlemen to that peace which only a clear conscience can vouch-safe. Work on the Doiie gas well is progressing rapidly. The well is down 610 feet and the drill Is in lime rock. A fair flow of gas is already manifest, and it is expected that by the time the drill penetrates the blue shale, which is about thirty-fiv- e feet deeper, that a sufficient flow of gas will beein. Mrs. E. D. Smeatl and four children, just arrived from Denver, ;called at the police station this morning in search of her hus-band, a carpenter, who had not communi-cated with her for some time past After a short search the police located him at the corner ot Eleventh.South, and .Third East streets, and she and her brood departed re-joicing. THE CITY CIRCUS. Another Unsuccessful Exhibition of Spleen Last Night. ELLSWORTH VINS IN A CANTER And Compels Councilten to Listen to Home l'npleant Truth About Tnemselve He Also Force Them to Accept Ills Resignation As Dep-uty Jiecorder The Ordinance Com-edy Concludes An Interesting Per-formance. Judging from the proceedings last night of that delectable aggregation knowu as the city council, that body barked up the wrong tree when it made its unwarrantable attack on Deputy Recorder Ellsworth Wednesday night. The greater part of the session was devoted to trying to prevent the assailed official from making a defense, and had it not been for Messrs. Siraondi, Karrick and Kelly, gag law would have prevailed. As it was, Ellsworth completely turned the them to listen to a communication which ho had honored them by preparing and to cap the climax made them accept his resignation, although a motion not to ac-cept had been put and carried. The communication from the deputy arosed the couneilraamc ire of Folland and Lawson, who poured hot shot, at the writer in season and out of season, but always re-ceived a Roland for their Oliver in return. On the whole Ellsworth came out of the or-deal a winner, while the councilman well, they have the consolation of knowing that it is not the first time they have made them-- i selves ridiculous. The communication which caused the ruction is as follows. . To the Honorable City Council: Gentlemen: ' I beg leave to tor.dir to yenr honorable body my resignation as deputy city recorder. In this cornectiou I desire to state that I deny tha etiarae which has been made apainst me in th s council to the effect thtt my work has not been properly done, ana oa the contrary alleae that my in dividual allotment or work in the re-corder g office Is ihe only one which is up to date. I admit that I have from time to time employed the mnyor's clerk to atsiet me with the license work, snd often two men are necessary to do it, especially the indexing of licenses which mut be done heveral times each month. Lately I have been unable to uee any of the roguisr force to assist me in this way. It is not true, however, as Mr. Folland i reported to have said, that this er- - vice ha" c.-- t tha city anything, as 1 have paid it out of my own pocket. ' 1 desiro tr state further thr.t my conduct in the recorder ofSce has been uniform from month to month, the last being the same as the first, and it has never b?en intimated to me that my way of doing has not been acceptable. As for i!r. Kich"s remarks as report.! in one of the papers, he assured me today that he was utterly misrepresented and did not intend to con-vey any of the meaning attributed to him. As for my at the meeting last nisht, i will state that I certaialy did not under-stand that there wag to be a me. t ng then, and the ftenogrspber understood it ia the same way. la fact, if either of us had thought the adjourn- ment was nntil lust night we would have ex-plained to the council that it would bo impossible to furnish the minutes or properly prepare the business, as Mr. Vondenbergo has been sum-moned to Ogclen to attand the Allred trial on the following day. If the meetinc: was to be. as we understood it, for revision only, then 1 supposed, and in fact had been instructed, that my presenco was not necessary. The council is probably aware of the fact that Mr. Stanton did not attend snch meetings. In regard to the charge made by Mr. Kvans to the effect that I bad held certain members of the council up to ridicule, I desire to say that I must decline to be deprived of a privilege which has been so freely and fully enjoyed by a majority of citizens. I ai-- that yon immediately accept my resigna- tion. Respectfully submitted, iii.Miia A. Ellsworth, Deputy Recorder. ORDINANCES REVISED. After the war cloud had blown over, the solons tackled the revision of the ordinances, accomplishing the following: An amendment to chapter 54, relating to wards, adding the recently annexed terri-tory to the First precinct, was adopted. An amendment adding Popperton place to the Fourth precinct was referred to the city attorney and the city engineer for an opin- ion upon the legal status of that section. ; : THE LOMAX TICKET. ." Tha Report of Its whoUnl Coanterf.it-V- - tag a Fak. Recently some very sensational dispatches .vers printed in the newspapers about alleged wholesale counterfeiting of the "Lomax" form of ticket used by the Union Pacific. The news caused considerable excitement, "specially among railroad people, because it "as claimed that thousands of the forged t ikets had been passed on conductors and that the loss thereby to the company had Ueeu almost enough to swamp the passen-ger department. The form of the ticket claimed to have been counterfeited Is ia use en no other road than the Union Pacific and was originated by E. L. Lomax, general psssengur and ticket agent of the company. After a i borough test the management of the road deeded ihat the ticket was the best that could be devised and agreed to accept it, becued it was deemed to be almost im-possible of counterfeiting. Mr. Lomax has written a letter relative to t ie matter in which he says that the whole :Tair had originated with the Chicago Her. r. d, and was absolutely false. During the o years in which the ticket bad been in use Mr. Lomax said several millions of the tickets had been sold and used and not a s.ngle counterfeit ticket had been discovered by the auditing deoartinent. and onlv about half a dozsn cases had occurred where alter-ations bad been attempted. Specimens of the ticket have been sent to Mr. Maze. The ticket was gotten up for the purpose sf taking the place of what is kno'n as "local card tickets," issued for lonsr dis-pTlhaecsees ticcokveetsred by the company's lines. could be altered from short to long distances, and alterations and manipu- lations were so perfect as to almost defy de-tection. The "Lomax" ticket was the result and this ticket is the lat-- st addition to the various forms of local tickets in use for handling what is known as "local business," snd is patented for the sole use of the Union f. ific company. :efly described the merits of the ticket are as follows: It is printed upon a chemi-cally prepr.red paper, upon which the use of acids is Immediately detected. The texture of the paper is so thin that any attempt at erasure can be instantly discovered and any pasting together of the mutilated portion of or.t or more tickets, or the filling up of punch marks by wax or colored tissue napar, is immediately discernible both by the'touch and by holding, trie ticket up to the lierht. TJiirty-sjxfqjta- s of these tickets are all that is r,ece8sary for alt stations on the system covering some 7000 miles of rail and some 3000 miles of water lines, the last of thirty-si- x forms being especially made to cover new stations that may be opened up front time to time, or to provide for the changing ot aames of stations already opened up. ; '"'ne of the advantages which has been sh wn in regard to the ticket, is the cheap-3h-e. of the ticket itself and of the great sav-ing in ticket stock, besides clerical labor in kerning the ticket accounts. Itobviates the ca rylng of a large supply of practically de?.:l 'icket stock, and a station account can ,be checked in minutes where it used to take ."hours, which to a large railroad corporation janne ns the saving of thousands of dollars per am. j GRID MI'S" IMPORT The Short-Weigr- ht Coal Dealers Are Eoasted. THE PASSAGE OF AN ORDINANCE IS RECOMMENDED. The City Jail Unfit for Human Hab-itation. THE POOR FARM, PENITENTIARY AND COUNTY JAIL. Xumfcer of Cases Examined and Ig-nored and Indictments Found The Inquisitors iive a Very ISrief Account of Their Prolonged Hes-nion-Sor- ae Excellent Secaouaen. dations. The grand jurors cam into court at 2:45 this afternoon, made their final report and were discharged- - The report is as follows: The grand jury empanelled for the Sep. tember term rcbpectfully submit the follow-i- n r as their report: "We met on September 12, and have been in session twenty-eigh- t days and passed upon eighty-nin- e cases, of which sixty-fiv- e are territorial and twenty-fou- r under the laws of the United States. Of the territorial cases considered, we have found fifty indict-ments and ignored fifteen cases. Of the United States cases we have returned twenty indictments and ignored four cases. We have examined 190 witnesses in terri-torial cases and 100 witnesses in United 8tates cases, a total of 290 witnesses. On September 26, committees of five, se-lected by the foreman, visited the ci;y and county jails, and on September 27, the grand jury in a body visited the penitentiary. The reports on the four above named institu-tions are attached hereto. Having concluded our labors, we respectfully ask to be dis-charged. Respectfluly submitted. C. R. Bahratt, Foreman Grand Jury. The reports as to county jail and peniten-tiary are of the usual order. Those having charge of the institutions are commended for their excellent management, and some sug-gestions are made as to sewerage and ven-tilation. - -- The city jail is condemned as being unfit for human habitation, and the court is invoked to use its influence against the fur-ther use of the building as a jail. The jury reports, also, that certain coal dealers are systematically uuderweighing coal, but the testimony would probably not be sufficient to secure the conviction of the guilty parties. The remedy lies in the pas-sage of an ordinance requiring dealers to weigh their coal on the city scales. The inquisitors found the poor farm in ex-cellent condition. Fred Corker, the efficient secretary of the inquisitorial body, was the recipient of a handsome diamond pin, ' in the form of & Masonic emblem, from his admiring and well-please- d colleagues. AMUSEMENTS- - Pattl Rosa will produce her new play by Charles T. Vincent, entitled "Miss Dixie," at the theater Saturday night. - The company includes Joe Cawthorn, Mau-rice Darcey and others well kuown. An informal exhibition or trial of the First Congregational church oran was had last night, the audience being composed only of the trustees, press members and about thirty of the members of the congregation. Among the selections with which the audi- - ence wa favored by Prof. Radclirfe were the "Commuuior in G" by Batiste, and famous offertory. Tae rea-son for giving these particular selections wa to display to advantage the Vox Hu-mana flute and enter. e reed section. Super-intendent Woods of the organ company showed the intricacies of its special me-chanical features, after which the orsran was fcrmally accepted upon Prof. Kadclille's recommendation. Of the orgsn it is suff-icient to say that it is the best west of Den-ver. Another public trial will be given within a few days. An enjoyable New England dinner was given by the ladies of the First M. E. church yesterday afternoon and evening. A well attended concert and ball wss rirAn hr th onnlra and waiters At Oalder'a hail last evening. At the Alta club Sunday afternoon, at 5:39, D. C.

The best wishes are tendered by The Timbs. Charles E. Schilling's minstrels, who ap-pear at the theater next Tuesday and Wednesday evening, are very highly spoken of by the press throughout the country. The following is from the daily Journal, Day-ton, Ohio: Before 8 o'clock'last evening every seat in the balcony and gallery of the Grand was sold, and nearly the entire floor was taken by the time the curtain rose for the per-formance given by Charies E. Schilling's minstrels. The performance was by far the best given by any minstel company in this city for a long time, and the audience was kept in roars of laughter by the side-splittin- g jokes of the funny men. The 6tage settings were elaborate, the costumes gor-geous, and the tout ensemble made a most pleasing effect. As a company of mirth-provoki-comediant the minstrels are a suc-cess, and all who witnessed the performance last night were well pleased. - UTAH FISH AND GAME A Hunter Relates His Experience in These Mountains. A MAMMOTH HAUL OF TROUT. The Champion Fish Prevaricator Has an AbSdinc Place in This Terr-itoryFrisky Denizens of Fresh Water That YTelsrh lOO Pounds Tiie Veracious Chronicler Has Also Seen Cirlezly Bears. At the time of the early settlement of Utah territory the mountains and canyons were thickly inhabited with the elk, deer, ante-lope, panther, mountaiu lion, wild cat and grizzly, cinnamon and brown bear, some of which wereof immense size. These animals are still found in our mountains, and are frequently killed, writes a correspondent of Forest mnd Scream. I never shot a bear, although I have seen quite a number of grizzly and cinnamon bears after they were killed. In one instance a very large grizzly, with two largo cubs. passed within thirty yards of me while I was concealed in the brush. I was at the time holding in my hands a muzzle-loadin- g gun, and the manner she treated her cubs, while apparently trying to wean them, plainly indicated the wisdom of my letting her pass unmolested, and assured me if I should fail to kill her the first shot she would attack and kill me. llardly half a mile after passing me she came upon a camp. Some of the men fired at her several times, but she rot away with her cubs. I have killed deer and antelope, but never elk, although upon one occasion a band of mere than S00 came within 300 yards of rar., and were headed toward me, but were fright- - encd otf in another direction by a man with-out a gun who came running to see me shoot an elk. A companion hunter, how-ever, shot and killed one. We think deer are increasing in our region. A eood many elk and sheep are still in our mountains, but difficult to get at. Deer, antelope aud elk are quite plentiful north of us, in the Snake river country, now Idaho, and mooes are taken occasionally. Some six years ago, I met a youug man up there who shot sixteen elk and two moose out of one band, and he said ho might have killed more, but to do so would only have been to waste them. Utah, Bear, Panguitch and Fish lakes, as well as other lakes, rivera and streams, abounded with tlie Urgent and finest trout when we first reached the territory, but as the country has bocome settled they have steadily decreased: still our waters supply Suite an amount of trout at the present time, years ago, one warm day in June, I helped to make a haul at the mouth of Provo river, the trout having gathered about the river mouth for cooler water (the fishermen had made several hauls during the day out in tha lake, find trnk artmn 500 nnnnds of fish), and when the net was drawn the draft was judged to be about 4000 pounds. A great number of trout weighed 101 pounds each on the scales. As it was night, and having a great amount of dead fl.su oa hand to be saved, after taking out several hundred pounds of the largest fish the rest were turned into the lake alive. I saw one trout caught in Utah lake by net which ' weighed 181 pounds. Ti.craoi WKHA1C. : ; ' ' i Other Storm3 Visit Various Tarts of the Country.

Appropriations amounting to 23135.10 were made. The members then increased their own salary by adopting a resolution providing that the amount allowed to trustees for at-tending each meeting be $3 instead of 2, and in addition that they be allowed $3 for each day's services actually and necessarily performed- - It was decided that schools shall hereafter epen at 9 a. m. instead of 9:30 a. m.

PEARY'S PLANS. lie Want! to Discover tho North Pole in Three Tears. Washington, Nov. 18. Lieutenant Peary, who commanded the Kite expedition to Northern Greenland, is anxious to embark on another expedition, this time to the North Pole. He has already made applica-tion for a leave of absence for three years, and his application has been sanc-tioned by the bureau of yards and docks, to which he is amenable. But from present indications, if Lieutenant Peary goes on the projected expedition he will have to go as plain Mr. Peary and will have to relinquish his commission in the navy as civil engineer. Commodore Far-quha- r, chief of the bureau of yards and docks, in his annual re-port, called attention to the pressing need of the navy for an additional number of engineers to keep pace with the increasing construction of dry docks, launching ways, machine shops and other naval plants. And in this view Secretary Tracy does not feel warranted in allowing one of the senior engineers who already has been absent under leave on pay for two years to absent himself for three years more at public expanse. Senator Edmunds Ea Route. Chicago, Nov. IS. Senator G. F. Ed-munds of Vermont, with family, is at the Victoria hotel this morning, passing toward the west. Mr. Edmunds declined to talk politics, saying he was a plain citizen of the United States on a pleasure excursion. He is on the way to California to avoid tha rig- ors of a New England winter and to enter the sunshine of the southern coast. a a PROVO POINTS. World's Fair Projects Interest the Citi-zens of the Garden City. Secretary McDaniel of the Utah World's Fair commission, met with a number of rep-resentative citizens last evening in the coun-cil chamber at the courthouse. The object of his visit was to organize a County World's Fair association. Mr. McDaniel explained the purposes of such an organization: The World's Fair commission had made arrangements for each county to make a special exhibit of snch .vrrdnitAni Ha It mirht ripmrA in ti - TTth building, and it was for the purpose of en-abling the county to make a creditable pre entation of its resources that a county committee was needed. He explained the advantages that would accrue to Utah and each county through having a good exhibit, thus calling the at-tention o tha world to the wonderful re-sources of the territory. Mayor Dusenberry was elected chairman of the meeting and George Havercamp sec-retary. Upon motion of Reed Smoot, five members of the County association were elected from Provo, and one each from the following towns: Lehi, American Fork, Pleasant Grove, Springville, Spanish Fork and Payson.

Fashion Hints. - Many brims of the small felt hats are curiously plaited into shape rather than curved. Quills, buckles, rosettes, wings and velvet fans wage furious battle for place upon the hats, but occasional harmony is brought about by a soft bit of fur, a feather band or a rouleau of velvet. The French woman, with her deference for the prevailing mode and her deft adapta-tion of it to suit her trim figure, has evolved a dainty empire gown that is not an emDire gown, nor anything but a very modern and very charming dinner gown. The ma-terials are pearl-gra- y silk, deep-re- d velvet and lace. ' t A London correspondent who witnessed the races at Sandown, writes: "The leading features of dress mav be summed up in four words purples, velve's, sables, chignons. It is no use trying to say that any color but violet is absolutely fashionable, and for these shades is a positive mania; in truth I have never seen ,any colors so wildly popu-lar." A French adaption of a Russian, or rather a Hungarian costume, is made from heavy blue cloth. A deep band of Hungarian em-broidery, wrought in black, blue, yellow and gold, around the skirt, is fastened at one side with gold buttons. Around the shoul-ders of the bodice is a silk frill, from beneath which falls a square embroidered bib, which is just short enoutrh to display the velvet girdle. The tightly fitting sleeves have deep velvet puffs. Mjterlou Death of Five Fmotory Men. Paris, Nov. 18.

Complaints of Faronaaers That They Are Receiving "Short" Tons. If good, strong cuss words, judiciously elected and applied with vigor and force, would effect their purpose, the coal trust would long ere this have been smashed as badly as tke psrty of protection in the late campaign.

Dirt, sticks and the slack of the mines are I . aaid to constitute a good portion of the coal. ' "I don't mind paving the price set by the coal combine," said a prominent gentleman this more log; "I aa a poor man, and yet I am willing to pay the cash before delivery demanded by foe coal men; I can overlook the quality of the coal delivered me, but I'll he d d," and the gentleman doubled his !Y fists, "if I will stand any more of their short ton.

It is generally conceded that it should be neat, simple, loose, allowing freedom of movement and constructed on hygienic principles. Furthermore, it should be short, clearing the ground an inch or two. The most graceful college dres, and one that is almost universally becoming, is the Oxford gown, with its loose flowing cape sleeves and its scholastic mortar-boar- d cap. There are several reasons why this should be adopted as the American college suit. First, it is simple, has no extra furbe-lows and meaningless frills. Secondly, it is inexpensive, and when worn over a close-fittin- g princrss the gown is the prettiest wrap imaginable; and,thlrd, it Is artistic, X Fashion Rita.
