"I propose," said he, meaningly, "to make these well, these people who have been fighting me tell on the witness stand why they voted in favor of deposing me." "Well, a lively time is in 6tore for some people, then, I suppose," asked the scribe. "Lively! Well, I told one of those one of tbose gentlemen that they were fighting the wrong man, and that I would make him give a reason for the vote he cast, and I pro-pose to keep my word." At this juncture the city hall was reached and Kesler entered to take a leading pert in the first and only representation of the stormy local drama entitled, "A Trip Through the Slums and What Came of It" THE NEXT ACT ONTHETAPIS. The Deposed Police Judge Declares He Will Fight, AND THE MARSHAL PICKS UP THE GAUNTLET. An Interesting: Scene in the Police Court. A POINTED CONVERSATION BE-TWEEN KESLER AND PAUL. The Latter Invites the Jurist to Fight Without His Boots, Bat He Is Partial to Full lreH An Af-fecting Scene at Parting "The Mills of the Smelllns Committee 4rlnd Slowly, But Exceeding Fine." Kesler is dead! Long live Gee! There was an interesting scene in the police court this morning and it was viewed by a large audience. Among it were many of the city's charges, some in an official way and others in a criminal way. In the bull-pen sat the latter, while in the sacred pre-cincts of the inner circle there was Chief Paul, Assistant County Attorney Eichnor, frosecuting Attorney Coad, Captain lono-va- n, Chief Justice W. W. Gee, the good Dr. Kak-igh- , Clerk Glenn and a half-doze- n blue- - COiU. Promptly at 10 o'clock Judge Kesler en-tered the courtroom, bowed slightly to those present, and then ascended the judi-cial dais for the last time. City Recorder Stanton then presented the order of tbe city council passed last night ousting him from the position of city justice of the peace and appointing W. W. Gee. Kesler read it carefully, frowned slightly and looked inquiringly at Justice Gee. That functionary responded by presenting him with the order of the council appoint-ing him to the coveted position. Again Kesler's eyes glanced at the words which pronounced his doom. It was a very serious face that he turned toward Chief Paul. Finally - he asked if he, too, had an order. - "No," responded the chief of the blue-coat- s. "Well, I want one," was Kesler's Thereupon the chief and prosecuting at-torney Coad built up the following brief but expressive billet-dou- x: To Fred Kesler: I am ordered by the city coun :il to bring ail city cases before W. W. Gee as city justice of the peace and to recognize him as the city justice in ail city cares. Samcel PAt'I-Chi- ef of Police. This he handed to the deposed justice, who then said: "I don't want that; I've got no use for it. File it." The chief returned it to Attorney Coad, and that official added the words "city mar-shal" and "Dated, October 5, 1892." It was again handed to Kesler. He glanced at it carelessly as he hurriedly gath- ered up his oaperi, and then cast a piercing elance at the chief, who stood at an angle of the dias. After sizing him up, appar-ently to his satisfaction, Kesler murmured: "I am glad the fight has come to a finish. You people have been fighting me for some time and now I'll fight you to a finish!" The chief was surprised, but it was only for a minute. "You needn't fight me!" he replied pleas-antly. "Oh, yes, I will!" quoth Kesler. "All right, sail in!" exclaimed the chief. "And you can take your boots off, too, if you want to!" "Oh, no!" quietly responded the deposed chief justice. "I'll keep my boots on, but I'll light you to a finish." Then there was a silence for probably one minute. Then the chief said: "I am not afraid to meet any man at any point?" - "Just what I have always thought," was the replv. "I've no fight against anybody," persisted the chief. "Yes you have!" "I have not, politically," exclaimed the chief, who preserved his self control ad-mirably. "Yes, you have!" declared Kesler posi-tively, "and I'll make you show it, too!" Then the chief got hot. "I'll tell you where you are," he said meaningly, "tha you are are mistaken!" "No, I am not!" said the justice as, papers in hand, he arose for the last time from the judicial anatomy warmer. Prosecuting Attorney Coad put an end to the "strained relations" by exclaiming: "Take the chair, if you please, Mr. Gee!" Mr. Gee complied, and as he settled his corpulent frame into the chair which he in tbe past has filled so well, Kesler walked over to Clerk Glenn and asked for a rubber band with which to encircle his papers. The curly-heade- d Southerner, with his beautiful Richmond smile, asked: "Shall I keep tbein here, judge?" "No," replied Kesler with emphasis. "I'll leave nothing behind. I did not come here for that purpose." The band was supplied, and Kesler, plac. Ine his tile firmly on his head, prepared to make his exit. He started for the door, but as he passed Judge Gee he halted, and, ex- - tending his hand, said in a broken voice: 'Good-bye- , good-bye!- " The two shook hands, and the eyes of Kesler were dim with tears he could not control as he passed out to again battle with the cold and unfeeling world. The performance was over and the next moment the judicial mill was grinding as though nothing had ever happened to clog its machinery. KESLER WILL FIGHT. He Will Make flls Enemies Show Their Hands. The fact that Kesler was deposed was known to1 all this morning and his progress toward the city hall was impeded every few feet by friends and sympathizers stopping to shake him by the hand. His removal is not looked upon by them as a disgrace, but the exigencies of the political situation are beiieved by , them to be responsible for his downfall. . - '"What do you propose to do, judge?" asked a Times reporter between handshakes. "Fight like well, I am going to fight," he replied. -- "How? In the courts!" . "Yes, in the courts 1" If WILL BE J. L RAWLINS. Fullest and Latest Specials from the Democratic Convention.

Applause. He referred to the home rule bill in a com-mendatory manner. His laudatory remarks concerning Cleveland were received with wild enthusiasm, lasting fully five minutes. He predicted the election of the nominee of the Democratic convention. TEMPORARY ORGANIZATION". 12:30 p. m. 3. R. Thurman of Provo has been named as temporary chairman and E. W. Exum of Ogden temporary secretary. Chairman Thurman addressed the conven-tion in a conservative manner, counseled that care be taken in the nomination, and the making of the platform. At the conclusion of his remarks the call for the convention was read by Secretary Exum. It was voted that a committee on credentials be appointed, one from each county; voted that two assistant secretaries be appointed. Ivens of Wash-ington county and Billings of Beaver were chosen. COMMITTEES APPOINTED., 12:35 p. m. The committee on credentials has been elected as follows: J. F. Talton, Beaver; O. H. Snow, Box Elder; O. C.

W. a' JOSEPH L- - RAWLINS. In all probability the coming candidate of the Utah Democracy for delegate to congress. Henderson - is mighty popular ' with his party, and it is now quite likely that his friends will insist upon his candidacy. He is, however, firm in his re-fusal to be considered a candidate, aud is doing all ha can to stop the work being done in his behalf. Kentucky Smith of Ogden is one of his firmest friends, and he told me this noon that no man was rreater than his party, hence he must accept. Rawlins Is still the leader, I believe, if it came to a vote, and all indications now point that way. Henderson will address the conven-tion and demand . that no votes fn Vim Tl.t will man Penrose, David Evans, W. H. King. J. W. Judd, William K. Reid, J. H. Paul and G. T. Beau were appointed. Voted, to refer all resolutions to the com-mittee without debate. TEE TABERNACLE TENDERED. Chairman Richards announced that Presi-dent dmoot had tendered the tabernacle for the use of the convention and it was voted to accept the same during the rest of the con-vention deliberations. BE ASSEMBLED. The convention has reassembled and is waiting to hear the report of the commit-tees on permanent organization and resolu-- . tions. It is not likely that a vote for dele- - gates will be reached much before 6 o'clock. 211 p. m. Voted that the convention take a recess until 3:30 o'clock. At this hour the Democratic club of Ogden, several bands and drum corps and scores of delegates are marching up and down the street wildly cheering for H. P. Henderson. A strong effort will be made to force the nomination to and on Henderson. un vee-D- va uiuja Lists vr ui Ui call Rawlins' nomination, so think the party leaders. Caine is not considered in It. Dave Evans of Ogden is in the hands of his friends, but will cut no figure, I believe. Will King will have some complimentary votes, nis supporters held a secret meet-ing last night, but what was determined is unknown. At this hour it looks like Raw-lins, but it seems that a ballot will be neces-sary. THE PRELIMINARIES. Provo, Oct 5. (Special. The biggest, and most enthusiastic convention in the history of Democracy in Utah, opened In the Provo Opera house this morning. The house was packed from pit to dome, and many ladies occupied seats in the galleries. The interior was handsomely decorated with flags and bunting; the picture of Grover j - Cleveland appeared at the back of the stage; many mottoes adorned the walls, among the most noticeable being "Tariff reform still our purpose," "At all times and in all places wo trust the people," "Give us liberty and local "Strict economy in public expenditures." An Ovetion to Henderson. 12:05 o'cloi-- Judge Henderson just en- - tered the hall and was greeted with tbe wild-- , est enthusiasm by all the delegations.

The convention was called to order by Chrrles C. Richards, chairmen of the terri-ti.fi- al commitUo. He said great progress " 1 deiss was of the opinion that the resolu- - hn could not be amended. ?1he chair held that it could. ' A vote was then taken, with the following Hjw-- MI, Moran 2.

Moran then amused his colleagues by say-Q- g the the council was infringing on the irerogatives of the mayor. He recommend-- d the removal of Ke6ter, and be should be flowed to appoint his successor. Heiss called for the previous question and Nron. i Moran asked if a motion calling for the previous question dil not require a two-thir- d Tote. The Chair replied that it did not. Whereupon Pat consulted the rules assid-uously. A Tota on the resolution was then taken, ith the following result: V.4 Beard? ley, Folland, Hardv, HeiFs, Kar-Jf- c.

Moran, amid much laughter, gave notice tjat he: still contended that it required a tto-thir- vote to adopt a motion to cail up tie preyions question. Wheu he spoke his ljtle piece he banged his desk with his right ifculey, slammed himself into (his chair, raised his bro-a- ns to the top of his desk, and softly murmured: "I am sadly disfigured, I kntfw, but I'm still In the ring." THE MOROAX ROAD SCHEME. The mayor's veto of the Morgan road scheme Was taken from the table in the that it would be passed over the execu-tive's head. Bell again called attention to the fact that tne waters of City creek canyou would sure-leytcbe contaminated by freighters, campers, He was in favor of securing outside trade, but he did not want it at the expense lof the water supply. 1 Rich and Lawson argued in favor of the Voad. They both criticised the mayor for lis action in vetoing the road scheme and lr deciding that the city had no right to ispend money on its properties outside the ity. . Lawson also asserted that it would be eaper to pay the mayor toOO a year to stay 4hom and allow the council to attend to the vtff are of tbe city.

COST OF riREPROOFING. The following from C. E. Stanton, secre-tary of the joint city and county building, is To the Honorable City Council: Gentlemen : At a meeting of the joint committee, held Octo-ber 4, the architects, Alonheim, Bird & Proud-foo- t, mbmitted, by request, an estimate of the cost of additional fireprooii' s; lor the joint build-ing which, on motion of Councilman Bell, was furnished direct to the city council and county court so that they may tie able to act at once in the matter. Respectfully, C. E. Stanton. Accompanying it was the architect's esti-mate, which is as follows: Basement, with brick floor arches, iron beam 811,895 Third floor, with brick nrche, iron beams 14,106 Third floor, witn terra cotta floor arctie, iron beams 19,096 The bnildicg fireproof ccmpleto, with iron beams, brick floor arches and Urra cotta rcof and ceiling construction 54,000 The building fireproof complete, with terra cntta floor nrcheg in the flrs Fecond. third and fourth floors, roof and ceilings terra cotta construction, brick floor, arches in the basement, all iron beams.. 74,000 On motion of Moran the report was re-ferred back to the joint committee for recom-mendation.

The city attorney submitted an opinion on council had the right to oust him without an investigation and without charges being preferred. Accompanying it was a resolu-tion offered by Heiss on August 2 ap-pointing W. W. Gee police justice. Moran moved to file the report. Karrick amended so as to adopt the report. Horn insisted that there was nothing before the house to adopt. The opinion should be filed; it could not be adopted. He moved to table the document indefinitely. Lost. Hardy declared that action should be taken at once. Horn demurred. He insisted that the resolution was out of order. The opi&ion of the attorney was then filed but another discussion was caused by the efforts of the to pass it. Morsn appealed to the chair for light and the legal expert of the council said that it was properly before the house. Moran then moved to lay the resolution on the table indefinitely. Lost. Rich then moved to lay it on the table to be taken up under the head ot miscellane-ous business. Carried. THE NEW CITT JAIL. The committee on prisons asked that it be authorized to call for bids for a city jail not to exceed $25,000 in cost. Lawson was not in favor of a cheap strnc-tur- e. He wanted a building that would be a credit to tbe city. Such a one would cost at least $50,000, and probably $75,000. . Horn, as chairman of the committee, ex- - ewiJi va iubs kiivii aui.ee w no W UU1JU IUQ I1CW jail in tbe rear of the city hall, and that when that building was abandoned the whole structure would be remodeled for the use of the police department. The report was adopted. A PARK COMMISSION RECOMMEJTDBD. The special committee appointed to inves-tigate the condition of the parka recommend-ed that a commission of five members be appointed, to consist of citlzeus who will take pride in caring for and beautifying the breathing places of the city, and who will hold office for four years. The report was referred to the city attor-ney. KESLER IS BOUNCED. The resolution ousting Kesler from tbe office of police justice was here taken from the table. Moran moved to amend it by striking- - ot the name of W. W. Gee and inserting iulieu thereof the name of Clarence Hall. Horn said a donbt existed in his mind as to whether or not a vacancy legally el.isted. ' r WHAT DOES IT IU ? The Doard of Public Works Agrain Adjourns WITHOUT AWARDING THE PAV-ING CONTRACT. A Policy Adopted Yesterday Xot Car-ried Out. EXPERIMENTS MADE BY THE RIVAL CONTRACTORS. Samples front Richards Avenue and Htate Street Subjected to Crucial Tests Home Material v. the Cali-fornia I'roduet Contractor and Hi Little Hatchet Come to Grief The Bidders Mystified at the Ac-tion of the Board. The Culmer-Jenning- s Paving company was prepared to meet any insinuation that might be made against the durability of its pavement, and its managers showed their faith in their work this morning by escort-ing Messrs. Haines, Conklin and Clawson to Richards avenue and inviting them to select a sample from any por-tion of its broad surface. Tbe board accepted the challenge and finally selected a segment about one foot square, which was taken up after an hour's hard work. It proved to be a splendid specimen, even Mr. Blake of the Blake Faving Company of Denver, which has contracts in that city aggregating 4400,000, speaking in eulogistic terms of it. Commenting on the sample alluded to in yesterday's Times and which its representa-tive saw in the office of the board of public works, W. H. Jennings said today that it was a piece of waste and no more like the pavement itself than day is like night. "We have," said he, "put in a bid lower by $13,000 than our first, and we, of course, ex-pect to be awarded the contract. The cut-off is a serious one, but we will demonstrate that our paving Is just what we claim it Is. We propose to do a first-clas- s job and show the people here and the country at lartre that Utah materiel leads the world. Of course, we will rot make anything on this contract, but it will be the means of building up an exDort trade. Your paper deserves credit for the staunch fight it has made in the In-terests of home people and home materials and my company will by Its work prove the soundness of the position which The Times has taken. the boap.d meets. At 2 o'clock the rival contractors met in the office of the board of public works. Tbe piece taken from Richards avenue was on view, and beside it was a similar piece from the State street paving, which Contractor Griffin, of the firm of Ryan & Griffin, had procured. Both pieces were testd. That from State street chipped oft easily under the blows of a hatchet, and the presence of volatile oils was easily noticeable. That from. Richards avenue was apparently of the consistency of rubber. It flaked ot in strips and it was a difficult matter to break off a piece of any sire. A bole was cut into the face of the home product and Mr. Jen-nings readily patched it, the paving sample giving forth a ringing sound as the hatchet pressed tbe repairing material into the crevice. Mr Griffin essayed to do the same with bis sample but the slab split In twain. He, however, claimed that it was due to his efforts to cut off a chunk and that it was not the result of his repairing exploit. Pieces of the samples were ground under foot into minute fragments; other pieces were rolled between the finsrers of members of the board and contractors and the olfactory organs of all were brought into requisition. Griffin appeared anxious, the members of the board thoughtful and the representatives of the Culmer-Jenning- s company cheerful. They were not ashamed of their pavement and expressed themselves as confident of the fact that Utah material could hold more than its own against all comers. Tbe experiments over Messrs. Haines, Conklin and Clawson discussed the situation in undertones. Finally Chair-man Haloes apparently prepared for action ny - lan-iu- uia tuir oi state. That is all he did do for fully fifteen min- - utcs fifteen minutes of agony and appre-hension to those assembled. Finally Mr. Conklia moved to adjourn un-til 7:30 o'clock this evenins. He said that their sick, member, Major Downey, should be again consulted. The chairman opposed him. He did not think It was fair to call the bidders together so often. The paving question ought to be settled at once. "Yes," replied Conklin, "but on the other hand we should be careful not to make any mistake. I would like to have the privilege of again meeting with Major Downey." Chairman Haines said that he was ready to vote at any time and could not see that any benefit would come from again consultiag with Major Downey. He understood that a Eollcy had been agreed upon at the meeting Conklin intimated that he was doubtful if the plan had been thoroughly understood, whereupon the chair stated that he would favor an adjournment until this evening. Clawson was opposed to an adjournment, saying that his mind was made up and he was prepared to vote. The motion to adjourn was concurred In, and then the bidders looked at each other in a mystified way. feature is the Countess phaeton. It Is an entirely new design, mado especially for ladies and children, and is the picture of ease and elegance. Its lamps and mount-ings are also entirely of silver. 'I here are a number of open road wagons and surreys in oak with silver trimmings, which form no minor part of the numerous attractions. Teen comss the celebrated pneumatic tire sulky, an exact model of the one to which Nancy Hanks was driven when she made her famous record of 2:04. It has been proven that this sulky is at least five seconds faster than any other sulky now in use. Tbe large number of light road wagons, family carriages, phaetons, Shetland pony carts and the large line of W. S. Frarer breaking, training and speeding carts and sulkies are continuously surrounded by a large and admiring crowd. The Studebakers are showing something entirely new in the line of physicians' phae-tons. A recent pattern is a strongly con-structed, yet light, vehicle made with light wheels, and the" top is so arranged as to af-ford shelter and protection from wind and storm. The top can be raised or lowered from the inside, and contains many other commendable advantages of recent invention. The special display of fancy delivery wagons of all kinds also absorbs much of the public's at-tention. The exhibit from beginning to end is a magnificent one, and it is only fair to say that every vehicle shown by the Stu-debakers at the fair is taken from the reg-u'a- r stock, none of the goods having been made especially for this exhibit. The improved Studebaker farm wagon should not be overlooked. This wagon is gaining in popularity every day, as the in-creased sales will show. A large line of platform spring drays and pole wagons are always carried in stock at the Main street warerooais of Studebaker Bros. Theee drays are mado to carry from one to ten tons, and are excellent for heavy hauling. The little Gem combination sprinkler and dump cart is a novel contrivance, and the first of ita kind ever brought to Utah, is now on exhibition at the fair. It Is a sort of general utility arrangement, and is used for sprinkling lawns, gardens, driveways, etc. It is es-pecially adapted to watering potato and to-mato patches and celery v'snts. When not in use as a sprinkler it may be arranged so as to use it for haulin? fruit, vegetables, etc. The spray from the Little Gem can be regu-lated from two inches in width to twelve feet across. It can easily be seen that such ac arrangement is almost a necessity to the gardener and the farmer alike. . o AT THE FAIR. . Stadebaker Btm.' Matmmoth Exhibit tbe Csater ef Attraction at the Terri-torial Exposition. Foremost among the numerous exhibits at the territorial fair is the mammoth display of vehicles made by the Studebaker Bros. juanuiariunug company, it i iuo uuij ex-clusive exhibit la this line on the grounds and continues to attract the attention of im-mense crowds.

Across the building they went to look at the candy display; then they trooped over to see the lightning ar-tist; his adept fingers held them for a mo-ment, then, as a current of air, they swept up the stairs. By and by, down they came and started for the kennel department. That's where the boys were at boms. My! How they longed to own a few of the dogs it wouldn't do, no boy would do that, long to own them all but if they could have, say half of them, wouldn't it be jolly? Tbe girls fancied the English pugs. The boys didn't, ' .So. boy would recognize an English pug when there was a Newfoundland or a mas-tiff near by.
