Hall of the American Natural Gas company that the gas deal which, has been hanging fire for so long a time between the American company and a syndicate of Denver capitalists was con-summated today. ' The amount paid by the Denver people could no'i..be learned. The contract, how-ever, is closed with the Denverites, and work will be commenced at once and pushed with all possible energy until the natural gas is brought 1o and distributed throughout the city. '."V- ? THE INDIANA GAS CO. The Objjcts of ' It 'and the Men Be-hind It. Tho application of the Indiana Gas com-pany for franchise will probably be dis-cussed at tonight's session of the city council. Tits projectors are still here, await-ing the action of the municipal dads, and if favorable, work will be begun twenty-fou- r hours after the papers are signed: That thej company means business is shown by the fact that its projectors attree to ex-pend ?2.000 within four months in the de-velopment of their property in Pleasant "al-le- y, ten miles from the city, and if the gas flow meets their expectations, further agree to pipe it into the city before the merry Christmas bells of the present year ring out their jplad tidings. They claim to have almost unlimited capital and expe-rienced gasmen at their command and will perform their part of the contract to the very letter. Some of the leading men of Logans-por- t. Ind., are interested in the project, and A.R. Sbroyer, the- - president of the pro-posed company, is reputed to be a two-tim- e millionaire, and besides attending to the affairs of tne Indiana Gas compauy, is presi-dent of the Lojransport Journal company, a director aZ the Kokomo, Logan6port and Marion, Ind., gas companies, secretary and ' treasurer ' of the glass tube works at Pendleton, Ind., - treas-urer of Sfcroyer, the notion company of a director of the First National bank of Logansport, and a director of the electric light plant there, besides being in-terested in 'a number of other con-cerns wiicb ' rank Al in the financial world. Associated with him are John A. Redo ond, secretary and treasurer of the Lotanport Manufactures company; A. J. Robinson, president of the same insti-tution, and A. J. Murdock, president of the First National Bank of Logansport. It is . the intention of the com-pany, if their plans can be effected, to estab'ish , factories for the manu- - facture ef gla63 tubes (which are similar to the concrete drainage pipes; bot-tles and "window glass, the three concerns promisingemployment to at least 600 men and entailing the expenditure of many thousand dollars. As competition is' the life of trade, the projectors believe ' that their application should meet with due consideration and not be shelved at the dictation of a rival com-pany, ' i ? - .

Transactions in real estate in this city rcrde BTaonateAto n.ll5, ,; The sales in the postofflce for Ausust amounted to $7649.50, an increase of 3919.45 over July. J. AV. Farrell has secured the plumbing contract of the Agricultural college - at Logan. His bid was $2500. The Salt Lake Power, Lisht and Heating company is erecting a brick annex to its plant which will cost $8,000. The new building of Richards Bros, on Main street, just north of the McCornick block, will be in the style of an arcade, and a hallway will run through it from Main street to Richards avenue. More building is going on south of the city, just outside the city limits, than inside. East Waterloo and Lincoln Park additions arc be-ing settled up rapidly and for the former place one party has contracted to build twenty cottases. A real estate man complains that "one real estate man receives information concerning inquiries received by the chamber of com-merce to the exclusion of all others. He objects to such partiality and registers his grievance in language unmistakable. tition in paving as in all public improve-ments in order to get the lowest possible prices for satisfactory work. If any favorit-ism is to be 6hown it should be to those who use home materials and develop the produc-tive industries of the country, and not to those who depend on cooiie labor for their products." Omaha aud St Joe are examples of the re-sults of dealing with the Barber Asphalt company and of permitting that foreign monopoly to gain a foothold in a city and a mortgage on it. streets. It will cost both of these cities millions to replace the asphalt laid as pavement by the Barber company, but whether they have paid for as much coal tar as Denver is paying for is a matter on which we are not informed. The experience of sister cities should bo a warning to ver, whose taxpayers should profit by it. The sinking of wagons in the asphalt pavement "the best known to modern science" is becouiiug so common a thing on Fifteenth street as to have ceased to ex-cite wonder. The last instance was an or-dinary stone wagon on Monday, loaded with a couple of sills, the whole thing weighing not to exceed two and a half tons. regret that they were employed. I think it is time to call a halt. I think it is time our people were given a fair 6how with non-residents. A RAILROAD HELPS. The R. G. W. Encourages Home Pave-ment by Reducing Freights. S. H. Babcock, who has justreturned from the meeting of the Transcontinental asso-ciation iu New . York, today notified the AVasatcff' Asphalt company that the Bio Grande AVestern Railway company had made liberal reductions in freight tariff on asphaltum shipped from the mines of this company for the purpose of assisting and encouraging home indus-tries in their competition wi.h outside and alien contractors, which is a consideration that our people will fully appreciate. MAY POSTl'OME ACTIOS. The Council May Iecile to Await an Ex-pression by the Taxpayers. It is possible that the paving contract may not be awarded at this evening's meeting of. the council. ' If not it will be because certain members of that body are not yet prepared to assume the responsibility of deciding the question without becoming more familiar with the sentiment of the taxpayers of the city. A plan is being considered this afternoon which has In view the postponement of con-sideration at tonight's meeting, and the. recommendation that a mass meeting of the taxpayers be held for the purpose of se-curing an expression upon the matter. This would, to a certain extent, guide the coun-cil iu its consideration of the matter and en-able them to reach a decision in harmony with the will of the people. Members of the council realize most fully that this is a question of great importance and one in which they cannot afford to make any mistake. Several so expressed them-selves to a Times reporter this morning, and stated that, all things being equal, home in-dustries should have the preference. Home Material First. Editor Times: I am glad to see that you are taking a decided stand on what appears to me, and, from the talk on the street, to most people, as a decided injustice to our citizen contractors, and a disgraceful way of advertising to the world our mistrust in our strength and resources. Everyone knows, who has taken interest enough in our local affairs, that Utah abounds in suitable ma-terial for street paving. The best of rock for curbing and blocking right at our doors and within easy access; mountains of pure asphaltic limestone, which is proven to be the best known material for road-makin- I say proven, because, first, anyone inter- - TIIEBARBERpTRACT Curious Proceedings on the Part of the Board of Public Works. SAMPLES CALLED FOR THAT WERE NOT EVEN OPENED. Home Material Contrasted With the Imported Stuff. ONLY ONE WAY OPEN FOR THE CITY COUNCIL TO PURSUE. The CitiiKcns Fully Aroused to the Situation end Determined to Have Fair Play Known The Ilecord of the Itarber Asphalt Company Cre-ates Surprise-Mo- re Expressions cf Opinion. The publication in The Times yesterday of the record of the Barber Asphalt company in every city where it secured a paving con-tract, and especially its expulsion from all competition in Omaha, where General Agent Squires hns his headquarters, created a com-motion in this community that demonstrates the deep feeling on the subject on the part of our citieens. It would be exceedingly unwise for the city council to ignore the temper of the people upon this vital ques-tion now that the whole scheme is laid bare. Fair play is demanded, and nothing short of that. Several persons, interested or otherwise, - give their views below. Mora Opinions. G. F. Culmer, president of the AA'asatch Asphaltum company and of the Montana Stone company, and snior member of the Culiner-Jenning- s Paving company, which pu! in a bid on the street paving of Main and r'irl and Second South streets, speaking of the lclling of the contract by the board of public works, said: 'The board of public works asked forbids, furnishing specifications for work, which stated that no bid would be considered which w:s not accompanied by samples properly marked wiih the date, namu of bidder and the place from whence, the samples Mere ob-tained. Yet, in flu face of all this, the Bar-ber company's bid was entertained, while it l:i:4 nil sr;pii les in compliance with the speei- - ested enough to get an assay and analysis can find, as the owners have done, that the deposit referred to is nearly the same, and in some coses is exactly the same, as the famous Xcnchatel asphalt with which Paris, London, Berlin and A'ienna are paved with, and which is pronounced by eminent author-ity, as the best material known. I refer to the product of the AA'asatch Asphaltum com-pauy, which is the material I am told is used on Richards avenue and which the Culmer-Jenning- s company proposa to ase on Main street, if they jjet the contract. This ma-terial Ts"ownecf by Salt Lake citi sens', 'la" mined by Utahmiaer8,mlttedandl&idby Utah skilled labor, and means that whatever it costs, to do it, whether with a bis profit or a a great loss, that the moneys the whole of it, stays heie and continues to lubricate the wheels of trade and other industries. On the contrary it is a conspicuous fact that if a Utah material is not used and the Barber people won't use it we will get no better roads, but will forever part with that money. A wise statesman once pointed out the fact that a country, a state or a city wa3 not im-poverished to any extent, no matter how much' money is expended for public im-provements, provided it was not so unwise as to go outside of its own commonwealth frr money, labor or material; but, that on the other hand, it is enriched to the full ex-tent of it expenditures, having its money still in hand, p.nd its improvements to boot. This is sound logic, and it should take but a moment's thought to convince us of the folly of having a foreisn body to do for us what we can easily do for ourselves, or of the extravagance of shoveling our hard-earne- d dollars into the lap of New York cor- - lira".' lens, iu any one instance. i '(lers were invited to put in bids, spend their time and procure - a $10,000 certified cheek 11s ;mi evidence of good faith, yet when the linn came lor awsrdins the contracts our s. iu; l:' packases were not opened or even examined by the board. They remain ideutiily in the same position as they did on the. 10th of Jugust, when deposited. Nov,, what, have we concluded from this treatment ?

Since that time we have expended over $50,000 in railroad and quarry developments, etc., which puts us in posi- tion to ten times double our former capac-ity." Joht O.BecJiSol If a home company can do tne work properly, it should certainly have the contract, If it can come anywhere Heaf the figures of the outside concern. porations, when our own struggling indus-dric- s are languishing for lack of public ap-preciation. Another thing that strikes me as very funny, is this: The board of public works required each bidder to segregate his bid so as to show at what price per foot he could furnish the curbing and at what price per yard for blocking and asphalting. AVhy did they do this, if not for the purpose of themselves dividing the work and give to the lowest bidder on each part, their share? Were this done, the local material would have been adopted, since the Culmer-Jen-uing- s bid cn the curbing and on the as-phaltum was considerably the lowest. AA'hy not award the contract separately to the lowest bidder? Let the Barber company have the blocking if they are the lowest, and the curbing to the Culincr people, who are certainly lowest on the parts mentioned. At any rate, I sincerely hope that such pressure may be brought to bear in the way of public opinion as will induce the city council to award the contract to any one who can do good work, but surely with Utah material. Yours for the best good of all, AV. B. A Canard Nailed. Editor or The Times: Some persons who of course are controlled by personal mo-tives have circulated the report that we are out of the contest for the city paving now pending before the city council. This re-port is absolutely false and without founda-tion. AVe are citizens of Salt Lake, mean busi-ness and are in the fight to stay. Our bid is the lowest by $4525. We propose to use Salt Lake labor and Utah materials and we offer as bondsmen for the faithful per-formance of our contract these well known citizens, Matthew Cullen and Allen G. Camp-bell in any amount required by the council. We are entitled to the contract on a square deal, and if we cannot get it we want to know the reason why, and we think the cit-izens aud taxpayers of Salt Lake City are of the same mind. Respectfully, Rtax & GiuFri.v. Salt Lake City, Utah, September 2, 1692. What the Bids Are. In a morning paper the bids for paving were quoted, showing that the Barber W. H. Iccmington A year or two ago I '. as using my best endeavors to get con-tracts, but it seem impossible because every trip Mr. Squires of the Barber company made here the specifications seemed to be changed to euit their class of material. Tfee home people engaged in this yrorkhave never been able to get a fair show tere. Mr. Ryan is associated with Dennis Ryan, who is bis brother, and they are worth a great deal of money. Ryan's partner, Mr. Griffin, baa been associated with Kilpatrick Bros. fc Coilins, and is known to be a first-clas-s contractor. Their sureties, Messrs. Campbell aad Cullen, are all that could be asked. I have inspected the Barber company's work in Omaha, and when I was thqre their paving was a network of cracks, and the volatile substance emed t have disappeared from the mater-ial used. I dida't find a single per- son who had a good word to say lor the Barber people or their work. So much for this talk about the Bsjrber company's "experience." Byan & Griftia have botfi the money and ability to do good work. They have ordered a first class plant, and I think the discrimination against them, by the board of public works lan outrage. Of course, I think the mem-bers of the board are above suspicion in this matter, but they have made a serious mistake, and certainly have laid themselves open to criticism. I believe in public work as in private, the men who are putting out the money should have the tight to get the kind of contractors they like. Judging from the expressions made, it is evident that in this case, home contractors are preerred. It has teen the rule in the past to give the work to some oue not a resident of the city. Is it fair to presume that we haven't men of sufficient intelligence to do our own work? Our officers are apparently very ' zeal-ous during campaign times'in declaiming in favor of home workmen and home indus-tries.

The jail aiid vicinity was weil guarded by determined mea who were resolved to see the law enforced, notwith-standing threats of rescue made by Hall's friends By 10 o'clock there were between ;5000 and people assembled in the village.

AX ITALIAN FRUIT VEXDOK MEETS WITH A HEAVY LOSS. The Disappearance! of Olaf Hagren Excites Anxiens Friends An Ar-rest for Violating the Hnnday Or-dinanceAn Alleged Fraud in Jail Irrepressible Annie in Court The Case of David Kerr Police Pickings and Pointers. F. Sandolin, the Italian fruit vendor who holds fotrh in the old Tribune building on AVcst Temple street, reported to the police this morning that a purse, containing 145, had mysteriously disappeared from his cash drawer some time during the twelve hours between 9 o'clock last night and 9 o'clock this morning. In the the drawer there was $2 in change and another purse containing money, but neither was touched. He claims that he left his store for a few minutes only this morning and on returning discovered his loss. It has all the earmarks of a pe- - culiar case. Where Is Olaf? The Swedish colony is mystified over the disappearance of Olaf Hagen, for some time past a dispenser of beverages in Schade's sa-loon. He and a companion named Hans went off together several days ago and have not been seen since. Olaf's integrity is. not questioned, but as he left a charming wife behind him the quidnuncs are bothering their gray matter for a cause for his sum-mary departure. An Alleged Fraud In .Tail. August A. Renting, the alleged fraud, whose experiences in this city have been de-tailed in The Times, was arrested this morn-ing for impersonating an officer. His mind is evidently unhinged, for no sane man would be guilty of the bad breaks he is con-stantly making. A Ring Recoverd. Captain Donovan this morning recovered a seven-ston- e diamond ring from a pawnshop which John O'Connell, a Montanan, claims he was relieved of two weeks ago by a nymph whose virginity has been badly wrecked in her battle with the world. ' THE IRREPRESSIBLE ANNIE. She Made Life m Harden to Kesler, J., Today. The threatening aspect of the weather had a pronounced effect on the usually sunny temperament of Kesler, J., this morning, for from the time he began to warm his judicial chair he was business, strictly business, and the habitues and attaches of the court missed those brilliant flashes of wit the court emits when his disposition is of a cherry, nature. As a consequence those in the audience conversed in hushed tones, and the court at-taches sawed wood and wandered about ou tip-toe- s. - THE IRREPRESSIBLE ANXIE. Annie Douglas, a denizen of Franklin ave-nue, was arraigned on a charge of prostitu-tion. She demanded that the complaint be read to her so she could thoroughly under-stand the case and consult her attorney. "Judge," said the colored belle, "I was ar-rested for robbery ; I don't know anything about prostitution. Prostitutes are arrested every three months, and I have just paid a fine." "Well," said Assistant County Attorney Eichnor, "that is a case which she will have to bargain with Coad about. I only take part in the robbery case." "Not much," hastily interjected . Coad, "she can't bargain with me." Eichnor theu explained that unless a com-plaining witness appeared the case of rob-bery would be dropped. Then ye gentle Annie regaled the court with her troubles, real or imaginary, and de-clared that she proposed to have justice; that the police could not drive her away, and that she proposed to be treated on the same plane of equality as her more fortu-nate sisters in sin. She then entered a plea of not guilty to the charjre of prostitution, which will be beard tomorrow morning at 10 o'clock, and as she flounced out of court Attorney Coad exclaimed, with a sigh of relief, "Gracious me! she. is well named the irrepressible." THE CASE OF DAVID KERR. David Kerr, accused of obtaining goods under false pretenses, a Payson boy born and raised, was arraigned. He is a married man with a family of five, owns a home in Nephi, and is the possessor of eighty acres of land near Lehi. When questioned he, de-nied that he offered au oflieer $500, and his farm to an attorney, if they could get him out of the scrape. He also denied that he told Hy Rippe, when he ordered seven canvas wagon covers, that he had bought a sawmill. Rippe stated that he had so informed him, and had ordered the goods shipped to D. H. Conley at Pleasant A'alley Junction. W. L. Pickard, jr., also stated that he ordered goods for shipment to Pleasant valley. As the case was a trivial one, Assistant County Attorney Eichnor suggested that as the merchants were satisfied to get their goods back, it- - would be just as well to dis-miss the case. The attorney also stated that there was no doubt but Kerr was not in his right senses, and the unfortunate acknowledged that when under the influence of liquor his mind was enveloped in a clotld, and that it was for the purpose of entering the Keelcy in- - stitute he came to this city. He was also, at times, addicted to drinking alcohol, and had often drank a pint of alcohol without its producing any noticeable effect. Kerr declared that he would make all claims against him good, and on this repre-sentation an order of dismissal was entered, with the understanding that the case would be reopened should he fail to make his promises good. SHORT ORDERS. Barney Riley was assessed $5 for getting drunk. Three little cherubs from the dominion of the Mikado each forfeited $25 as prostitutes. J. R. Garrey, James Jenkins and Carl Svenson, decent inebriates, each forfeited 5. In the case af AV. H. Allen a charge of dis. turbing the peace was dismissed and a tax of $5 levied for getting drunk. Tim McCarthv acknowledged that hp h guilty of drunkenness and disturbing the peace. He is a Park City miner and promised to return to his work if sentence was suspended. It was so ordered. Police I'ointer. Barn stormcrs are said to be plentiful in Zion and the police intend to prosecute tho gentry for vagrancy. The scarlet women of Franklin avenue have been officially notified that their room there is better than their company. Sergeant Eslingcr yesterday in City Creek canyon killed a rattlesnake which had eleven rattles and a button. And this is not a good year for snakes cither. The police have been deorived of their one day of rest in thirty. Janney gave it to them, but the powers that be have decided that it is time thrown away. Annie Douglas, a colored wench who is an expert thief, robbed a visitor to her den on Franklin avenue last night of $20. As the victim cannot be found it is more than probable that she will go unwhipped of jus-tice. . Ii THE DAILY RECORD. CHOLERA.

Emma Lingle is the last applicant for re-lief from the matrimonial yoke. She com-menced an action for divorce against John W. Lingle this morning, and in her com-plaint she alleges that she was married to the defendant in this city in 1ST1. She al-leges that in 1883 her husband, wholly dis-regarding his marriage vows', became ad-dicted to the excessive use of liquor, and shortly afterwards, without any cause what-ever, abandoned and deserted the plaintiff. She claims that he is a man of exceedingly vicious habits, and is unfit to be entrusted with the care, custody and education of thsir minor child. Besides the absolute decree of divorce, plaintiff asks for the custody of the child. A PamRge Suit. S. B. Miiner has brought euit against J. AV.

THE SUPREME COURT. 1 Arguments Reing Made As To the Dispo-sition of the Church Fund. The territorial supreme court convened promptly at 10 o'clock this morning, when the arguments upon the exceptioi to the report of Master-in-Chance- Loof bourow. recommending that the escheated church fund be applied to the public school 3 of the territory werere wii beforfr a full Lawrence on September 1 amounted to about $428,000, and Judge Judd first took the floor and asked permission to introduce evidence in support of a 6cheme to have the fund devoted to the Brigham Youug academy at Provo, ursing that such a use would be nearer in accord with the in-tentions of the contributors to the fund than that proposed by the master. Tiiis was opposed by both C. S. A'arian, representing the government, and by Mr. Dickson, representins the church, and after a short consultation amons the judges. Chief Justice Zaue announced that the hearing could not be reopened. R. W. Youug next arose, and mnde a sim-ilar request in support of a scheme to have the fund devoted to the Brigham Young collese. This met the same fate, and Frank-lin S. Richards of counsel for the church proceeded to present the scheme of the defendant. The scheme, in brief, is that the fund bo turned over to the first presidency of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Da- y Saints, in trust, to be used for the benefit of the poor and other charitable purposes and for kecpins in repair the ulaccs of worship of the church, other than the temple, under the direction of the court. In support of this Mr. Richards made a stronc and logical argument, in which he applied the old doctrine of ty prat to the case. He urged that such an application of the fund was the next nearest lescal purpose to that of the donors. As to the changed conditions itere Mr. Richards said that in the hearing before the master it was conclusive-ly shown that the practice of polygamy had been abandoned by the church, and that any person practicing it would be excommuni-cated. What more could the witnesses for the church have said than they did say? They have said the only thing that was rea-sonable, consistent and truthfuL Tiicy said that when they practiced polygamy they did so believing it was approved by God. Now they said they believed the practice was dis- - pleasing to Him. Under all the circum-stances justice demanded that the fund should :io longer be kept away from those to whom it be-longed. The scheme did not contemplate that the fund should be entirely surrendered to defendant, but that it should continue to be within tho reach and control of the court. Mr. Dickson followed for the defendant. He beann by saying that no court of chan-cery either in Eugland or America had ever done what the government had asked this court to do in this case. The fund was made up from inuumerable petty contributors, aud it was impossible to say just whr.t use each desired his contribution to be devoted to; but in a general way this was clearly shown. Mr. Dickson insisted that to devote the fund as the government asked wnuM he in direct opposition to the purposes to which the donors intended it should be applied. The doctrine of cy pre was then taken up, and Mr. Dickson fortified his position by quoting from a long array of authorities on the subject. It is possible that J. L. Rawlins of counsel for the government may commence lus argu-ment this afternoon. If not. tlie plaintiffs side of the case will be heard in ihe morn-ing. Court Nates. In the case of U. u.
