Tho Mob Frustrates Two Attempts to Land Passengers. Qfasaxxixe, 8ept. 12. Dr. Jenkins has been informed by telegraph that tbeCepheas is anchored at Fire island dock. Three hun-dred armed men oppose the landing of pas-sengers. 1 The doctor requested Governor Flower to call, out j the militia. He also ordered a meal prepared at the hotel to be delivered on board the Cepheus. 8:40 p,"m, Tiro attempts were made to land the passengers of the Cephens, which were successfully opposed by the Daymen. The steamer is now anchored in the bay chan-nel opposite the hotel. A Ronnd of the Vessels. ' The health officer has returned from a round of the vessels and reports all well aboard the Amalfl from Hamburg. Sh'his no passengers and will igail.to. dock. The steamers Dubbledam, Amonla, Kaiser, Wilhelm, Columbia, Cllntonla arid Humber have all been cleared and pro-ceeded up the bay. Further fumigation is but now that I am in the sewer you spurn me," feelingly said Keeler after the exhulta-tio- n was over. "Spurn you, never!" exclaimed Bijah. "My heart bleeds for you, indeed it does, and last night I penned for you "the follow-ing lines which 1 hope will comfort you in the hour of your pain and affliction." And in a voice choking with the emotion he could not control. Bijah solemnly read: KtSIJE't DAXIST. I would not live always draw salary; not I; Oh, I'll not linger when bidden to fly ; The days of mv power, gruntel me here, Are enough for life's joys, full enough of good cheer. . , . - I'll not shrink from the thorny pathway, - ; Blazed by Gee and Laney the Bat like gav, a patriot unblest o'er the earth I'll roam, W lii Le my political friends are hastening "home." . That harsh, jarring sound! What i tit 1 hear? The voices of ihe council ring in mine ear, And see, softly opens those portals so old, And forward steps the mayor like a warrior bold. In his right hand glislens a weapon so bright It causes my head to shake in alright. I but wait for the summons, I list lor the cry Alleluiah, Amen, oh, Powers, I die I At its conclusion both Bijah and Kesler wept and Clerk Glenn, who had been an in-terested listener throughout the proceedings from his coigne of vantage under a table, spoiled a hugging bee by falling over in a fit of hysteria. A moment later, as calm and serene as a summer sky, Kesler was casting his bonnle blue eyes in a critical way over the Motley crew, which the good Dr. Raleigh marshaled to the mourner's bench.

There was a sad and pitiful expression in the eyes of Kesler, J., this morning when he quietly entered the courtroom' and clasped the sympathetic hand of "Bijah" Arm-strong, the bailiff. "This is a cold and unfeeling world, Bijah," was his opening sally. "Yes, your honor, it is," was the reply, as tho owner of the voice earnestly scratched the trademark of a North Salt Lake mus-quit- o, "but you must console yourself with the thought that man is only sure of his true reward in heaven." "Yep," gasped Kesler, "but I've earned It here, I've earned it here." "So you have," softly murmured Bijah, "but things mundane are uncertain." "Earned it," exclaimed Kesler (speaking rapidly), "I should say I have. Forty years ago there was an emigration into this coun-try. I came with it. Later there was an-other emigration. It was General Conner and his California volunteers. They took up a position on the east bench, guns were planted there, and between us we caused the flag to be respected, and in time wave over j an American people. Earned a reward I, Who is there to gainsay it?" : :'.'v "Bsskin might your honor," replied, the truthful but trembling BIjab.

Joseph Wall, jr., of Big Cottonwood, who was arrested last week by Deputy Marshal Charles Goodsell on a charge of unlawful co-habitation, will go before the grand jury to. morrow. Judge Miner and Judge Anderson changed places today. The former has gone to Beaver, where "Red Tex" will be tried for murder, and the latter went to Oarden, and will preside at the trial of Whetstone for kill-ing McLclland. qualifications, and as completed the jury stood as follows: L. S. Hills, C. L. Haines, V. P. Kcllar. William Spry, J. H. Wood-man, J. Fred Corker, 8. H. Auerbat h, K. T. Burton, jr., Joseph E. Caine, J. B. Blazer, C. K. Barratt, W. C. Snence, Frank W. Ress, Frank Harris and C P. Maron. These gentlemen took the Edmunds-Tucke- r oatli and were sworn, and C. R. Bar-ra- tt was appointed foreman by the court. Judge Znne then proceeded to charge the jury. He said it was their duty to investi-gate ail charges of crimes committed in this district, but in their investigations would consider only legal testimony. They should be careful not Vo be imposed upon by persons actuated by improper motives. Others might be found who were unwilling to tell what they knew. The testimony of , such persons would be scruti-nized with ereat care. They should not indict a person unless there was a probability that such person would be convicted. It was a serious thing to indict a man who was innocent; it was equally serious to allow a guilty man to escape. The only way crime could be prevented was by punishment. Among the crimes which might be committed against the United States were those against the postal laws and polygamy, unlawful cohabitation, adultery. Then there were crimes against the terri-tory, such as murder, arson, gambling, keep-ing houses of e, and so on. It was the duty of the jury to enforce the. law and thus protect society. They should keep their proceedings secret. The law was very positive as to this duty, and imposed pun-ishment for its violation. Should matters arise upon which further instruction was desired, it would be given." It was their duty to inquire into the con-duct of all public officers and inquire into the condition of the penitentiary and the city and county prisons. The grand jury then retired with the bailiff. , TO STOP THE ASSESSMKNT. The County Court to Take Lecsl Action Against the Proposed Raise.

The delegate from Bingham wanted to know if that precinct was to be shut out entirely of delegates to the territorial con-vention. He said: "We have 300 Republican votes in Bing- - ignored entirely?" . A Voice You didn't show your 300 votes at the last election. Several delegates to the territorial con-vention manifested a desire to resign in order to give the chair a chance to appoint delegates from the Bingham preoinct. It was decided that the fealty of no Republican depended upon the selection of a delegate to this or any other convention. A motion was made and carried that each delecate select his own proxy. At 8:30 o'clock the convention adjourned members of the body proper of the conven-tion, on apportionment of delegates to the territorial convention. The question was argued at length cn the right of the chair to take action on the motion made because the convention was not organized and would not be until tho committee on credentials had reported. The chair ruled, to do away with argument that the motion was in order. But a motion to table was slipped In and the question went over. On motion of Colonel Allen Miller, the convention adjourned to 2 o'clock. afternoon session. It was a little after the appointed time when Temporary Chairman George M. Cannon rapped the convention to order and called for the report of the committee on credentials.

Elijah Mis of Salt Lake Citjs And Till PEOPLE ARE AROUSED. They Are Overwhelmingly Opposed to Letting the Paving to Barber. THE WORKINGMEN WILL MAKE A ROUSING PROTEST. . t Interests of Utah Labor Are Involved in the Matter. ; SQUIRES AND DOREMUS HAD A SECRET MEETING TODAY. Why Is the City Engineer Holding-Conference- With the Barber Agent ? Why Siioold They Have Any Interests in Common Mer- - eaants and. Working-me- Are Both. Vitally Concerned, in the iirowth of a Oreat Utah Industry tet ' Them Use Their Influence. Home industry has got the Barber Asphalfr company on the run. Public sentiment is aroused as never before on a matter of thia kind, and unless the indications are very misleading, the people will be gratified by seeing the paving monopoly ignominously beaten when the matter comes before th council tomorrow night. The appeal of The Time3 to the working-me- n of Salt Lake is bearing fruit today in. the circulation and numerous signing of petitions and in the expression of sentiment on all 6ides. Labor clearly understands what it has at stake in a contest between home industry and an outside corporation that is trying to get control of our streets after it has been onca fairly underbid by local companies. WORKISGMM ANT MERCHANTS. Workingmen and merchants have the same interest in the triumph of the home, companies'ia thts instance. The successful tjse of Utah asphalt on the streets of S&ftr Lake means its introduction into Jha Ameri., can market and the rapid building up cf & very important business iu thia territory. s nfOi-- e labor, and consequently tha I . circulation of more money, and the mer-chant will be benefited as much as the jWorkingman by this result. Thereftor every merchant in Salt Lake should lend his aid ' as effectively as the workingmen are now doiijg to this campaign, which has far its object the. defeat of the odious contract with the Barber Aspblt company; OBJECTIONS ANSWERED. ' The friends of the Barber crowd hav' restea very meeKiy under tiw charges that have been brought against the great monop-- oly. They have, said very little thsmselve and would have been highly gratified if th people and the newspapers had been equally reticent on the subject ;Sch feeble ex, planations as have been put forth in the in-terest of the Barber monopoly have hezit promptly and fully answered. For instance, it has been proved that tha home companies can do thia paving faster than the Barber company because they have' more material on hand and can obtain what additions! machinery they need fully soon. This answers the argument that only the immaculate Barber and his precious a, sociates can possibly do this work in tim. The assertion that the Utah asphalt is nofr fit for the purpose is met by the positive as-sertion that it is fit, and by the guarantee o home companies to amply secure the city against loss in any event. . ; , THE MILK IN THE COOOANCT. It is plain to everybody now that General Agent Squires is not wasting his sweetness on the desert air merely to get a single job of paving. It is clear that the monopiuly which he represents has a very deep interest in Keeping uiaa aspnait irom naving a lair trial anywhere on the face of the earth and thereby keeping a new and powerful com-petitor out of the market. That is why the Barber people can afford to spend time and money generously to carry their point, and that is why the workingmen and busines men of Utah are determined that the Barber company shall not succeed if they can pre-vent it. It has been shown that there is no valid objection to letting the work to home com-panies and giving Utah material a chance. It has been shown that public sentiment, is overwhelmingly in favor of this course. All the arguments that can be made in favor of the monopoly have been met and silenced. It only remains for the public to continue to make its influence felt and then for tha council to meet. TO WORKINGMEN. In the interests of Utah labor and the de- - veiopment oi our resources ihe iimes urges the representatives of the labor unions to publicly take a positive stand on this matter before the council act3 tomorrow night. Every workingman and every mer-chant as well, should promptly recognize what he has at stake and immediately give such an expression to his views as he thinks will do the most good. There is no time to be lost It is a matter that comes home to everybody whose interest is here, and prompt action is demanded. Use your influence ia every possible way to defeat the paving mon-- i opoly and win a victory for Utah, . JC81XY INDIGNANT. President Harrison May Send Back Chol- -' v era Iaden Steamers.

Jack May, deputy city treasurer, returned from a fishing excursion to Idaho yesterday, bringing with him a couple of store fish and a story of a flesh-eatin- g contest he alleges ho witnessed in the quiet town of Soda Springs Saturday. It appears that a blacksmith named Mer-rill and a quiet citizen called "Tom" en-gaged in a saloon row, and in the melee Merrill had his lower lip torn from its place by "Tom's" fangs, and ' that party lost su ounce or more of flesh from his left cheek. Merrill's lip eventually found its way to the floor where it remained twenty minutes and although well masticated was returned to its proper place by the village physician. - 0 Secret Session of B.

BOTH LEGS CUT OFF. Thomas Yard'ey Eun " Over and Killed by a Eapid Transit Car. A MOST PECULIAR ACCIDENT. The Yonac Ulan Jumped Off to Avoid Injury and Met a More Terrible Fate lie Died at the Deseret Hos-pital Shortly After Xoon Today. A peculiar accident occurred on the Rapid Transit electric road at aboutS:30 this morn-ing on North Temple street, as a result of which Thomas Yardley is lying in the Des-er- et hospital fighting the last fight of human existence. The accident belongs to that class for which there Is no accounting. Superinten-dent Hinckley of the Rapid Transit is mys-tified and all railroaders are at a loss to give a plausible reason for its occurrence. One of the large twelve-wheele- d cars was going west on North Temple street, which is single-tracke- d, at the usual rate of speed. Three younjj men stood on the front platform. Directly opposite the temple there is a gravity switch which is not covered by wire. The switch is set for westbound cars, while those going east keep the main track in all cases. The wheels of the front trucks followed the switch, but the back wheels kept the main track. The motorman put on his brake, but the brake-ro- d broke and the car kept going of its own momentum. While the wheels . were running parallel the body of the car was turned at a direct angle to the tract To the left was the ditch which intersects North Temple street and" the young men became panic stricken and leaped off toward the main track. Two of them landed safely and es-caped, but Yardley fell. The three wheels passed over his legs, breaking his right thigh, cutting off his right leg and left foot so that they were simply connected by bleeding flesh, and scraped the flesh from his left leg. The car run to the end of tho switch and stopped, after becoming'cramped by the intersection of the switch and main line. ' Tha wounded youth was taken imme-diately to the Dosoret hospital and the com-pany's physician of the Rapid Transit called in. - Both legs were amputated. Yardley is conscious and his father is with him. He has been employed in the Union Pacific of-fices of this city and is about 19 years of age. His parents live in Perkins' addition. The car wss managed by Conductor Maucs and Metorman Marshall. Just where the blame of the accident lies Is yet to be determined. The fact is clearly manifest that had the unfortunate young man remained on the car there would have been no casnallty. Whether the back trucks in keeping the main line, Instead of following the front wheels on the switch, is due to negligence of the company in not providing proper safety switches remains yet to be seen. Later The unfortunate young man died at V o'clock-th-is afternoon. - ( ' : . Four Burned to Death. Montbeal, Sept 12.
