Show - . ! SALT LAKE 3 i ' i ! ; r s ( CITY AND NEIGHBORHOOD. i ', ' The Kearns mansion will be finished ' ' In two wekp, so the chief decorator says. But the senator and his family I ', will not occupy it until fall, so that J ' . there is no immediate hurry to furnish I , it, and this may not be done until late - i in the summer. :. r- i ' Colonel Matt Dougherty has been up " ! I ' In the Wyoming: oil fields, and says ! that the recent very cold weather up J . 1 thpre has curtailed operations ry ireez- Iing up the water supplies o that but ; 1 little was available for use in engine 1 boilers. However, the weather has moderated there, as well as here, and : 1 Well boring is once more getting into ; full f-wing. . 1 The precipitation for January, 192, i ' Was generally deficient, but most de- j I ; cidedly so over 1he northern portion of , i ' the state, according to the report of : the weather bureau. Nearly all of it i i i ' was in the form of snow. The snow, especially that which fell during the latter part of the month, was very dry I ' ! Rnd fine, and will not make nearly the j ' : Usual amount of water. i The supreme court lias rendered its I ' i I iflecision in the case of the Salt Lake , ( e City "Water & Electrical Power torn- ! Tany and Joseph Ueoghegan. receiver, ' 1 vs. Salt Lake City and Amanda Can- . non. affirming- the action of the lower court in allowing plaintiff to connect its flume with the city's canal, upon furnishing a bond in the sum of $5,000, : pending the determination of the con- j ! demnation proceedings brought by j: , Ihem against the city. I ' ' A special to the Los Angeles Times 1 ' i ! from New York says: it . . ' The contract for a joint survey , ' ;. through the disputed territory in Ne- ' vada has been signed by the presidents ! cf the San Pedro, Los Angeles & Salt Lake road and the Utah, Nevada and I . j. California Railway company. : ; When the above dispatch was shown S j to T. E. Gibbon. Esq., in Los Angeles, I he said the contract had just arrived. 1 ! i "It came today," said Mr. Gibbon. '"It : ' is signed by W. A. Clark, president of j i J the Salt Lake road, and Judge Cornish, j I vice president of the Harriman road. - ; The contract not only puts an end to , j ; one of the biggest litigations begun of ': . : Jate in this country, but is a grand j thing for the Salt Lake line and Los I Angeles. It expedites the completion I of the Salt Lake road by two years and 5 1 saves us a million dollars, to say the ' least." ! i' The rivalry between Ogden and Salt Lake has ceased and the former . s . ; ' city gains its point through the " proposed Southern Pacific cut-off across the lake. Salt Lake was defeated de-feated and Ogden is correspondingly t , ' . .' happy. t ' "olonel T. G. Webber and other i prominent business men remarked the i other day that, after all, the action of f i the S. P. in deciding in favor of the lake cut-off would not injure Salt Lake , City, and if it would help Ogden in any j 1 ; way no one in Salt Lake would object. ; The colonel observed that conversation ; . with the engineers of the Southern Pa- ; 'I- rific convinced him that the lake 1 scheme had been decided on favorably : ' . for some time past, and nothing could ; Ftop it. The plan was really decided on by the late Collis P. Huntington, and ' the engineers answered objections as to :. overcoming the obstructions of nature that after wrestling with the swamps , and water in Mississippi, the floods in j ' ' pouthern Arizona and California, and the rocky fastnesses of the Rockies and I theSierras, the problems presented by j Great Salt "lake did not occasion much i 1 apprehension. Colonel Webber re- I . marked that Salt Lake would continue j I to grow right along and inside of ten f t years he looked to see this a city of over 100. noo inhabitants. The advent of J the Clark road will be a tremendous j lift for the town, and that the road is I j 1 a sure go is now a settled thing. There j , Js plenty of money for it, and Senator I Clark does not have to go into the I market to seek the sale of a single bond. ! CHURCH NOTES.

I , Mrs. James Mara and Mrs. Gleason I i attended to the altars last week. , The week morning mass is celebrated I bt 8 o'clock. I ' P.enediction of the Blessed Sacrament Is given every Wednesday night at j , . ; 7:30 and Stations of the Cross are said j on Friday night. ; . The members of the ! o'clock choir ' ' will render all the music for the L-n- i i ten services. Former members of the t choir are also requested to .issist. J i Many of those who sang in the St. , I ; Cecilian choir fr some years past. I : think thoy should not sing now on ac- f ' 'ount of not doing active work. This ; ; . Idea is quite wrong. The Benediction I ; ; services, the Vespers, the Stations of 1 ' the Cross and the beautiful hymns f they learned are still sung, and their i attendance will be much appreciated. By a united effort and a little personal ; -; interest on the part of all. a fine chorus ; : choir wll be heard at every service at i St. Mary's. Many faithful ones take .1 , warm interest in the choir work right J along. These are the young ladies who : have been singing at the 9 o'clock mass since they were little girls. For- i . ; tunately these faithful girls have not I , jet acquired any queer" ideas of not 4 giving their voices for the praise of j God and the Church. May they re- eive their merited reward l)oth in this life as well as in the Life to come! i The success of the afternoon card parties given by the ladies of the Altar : 1 society is so gratifying that it looks i as if a few evening parties would give f much satisfaction financially, and par- f ticularly socially. A large hall could Te secured and there is no amusement ; better than card playing as "everyone i. meets everyone" and enjoys the nieet- 0 ! . ing. j Rev. Father Sheehan will soon leave 1 j for Austin. Nev., where he win take I -: , charge of the church at that place. f ; - . ' , Rev.

Services will be held at the penitentiary peniten-tiary next Sunday, Miss Lottie Owen and Mr. J. P. Murphy Mur-phy will sing the "Eoce Panis" by j Donnezetti at St. Mary's on Sunday. The members of the choir, are pleased over the excellent bass voices of Mr. Sauer and Mr. Dunbar. Mr. Sauer has sung at St. Mary's for many years, but never as regularly as in the past few months. He has a fine deep bass voice, while Mr. Dunbar's voice , is splendid for the baritone work. A very large congregation attended mass on Ash Wednesday. Rev. Father Kiely officiated and blessed the ashes before mass. Kev. Father gave a short but interesting sermon on the meaning of the blessed ashes, and recommended the congregation to faithfully attend all the Lenten services. Benediction of the Blessed Sacrament was given in the evening, and Rev. Father Keenan delivered an excellent sermon, taking for his subject, "The Obligation- of Fasting." The Lenten regulations are published in this week's issue of the Intermountain Intermoun-tain Catholic.

It is expected that the child.-en will give an unusually interesting en-tertaiment. en-tertaiment. They scored a deci led success last year; the great Modjeska, who was present, declared it to be the very best children's entertainment she ever witnessed. Over twenty tiny' tots only 3 years old will take part this year in the drills and dances. |
