Show LOCAL JOTS. Storms east of Ogden "downed" the telegraph tele-graph wires this afternoon and cut off most of the usual press report. - It would be well for people to be on the lookout for burglars, and not to become too absorbed in the shooting of Saturday. Sinoe the Democbat called for the macad- j amizing of Main street, the cry has been j taken up and is becoming quita popular. I Keep the cry up until Main street is macadamized macad-amized or paved. A dramatic company made up of Salt Lake talent, under the management of Harry Taylor, will play "A Sea of Ice" in Provo to-night. "A Sea of Ice" is suggestive of a very cold day, etc. The rise in lead is a great encouragement to the miners in the lead camps of Utah, and there is now more activity in the old districts dis-tricts than has been manifest for years past. It looks like old times. Judge Speirs last night united as husband and wife H. G. Hansen and Miss Ingra . Peterson, both of this city. The young oouple begin their new life with the best wishes of their many friends. There will be a meeting of the Firemen's Mutual Aid Association at the Firemen's IHall, Saturday evening, December 5, 1885, at 7:30.

The fire alarm was sounded about noon to-day and the brigade called to a house on Fourth East street, between First and Second Sec-ond South ; but the fire turned out to be no fire the soot of a chimney burning out being all there was to it. The Deseret News woke up long enough last night to remark that "The Mikado" had been overestimated in this city. Having delivered de-livered itself of this critical remark, the News should now turn over and resume its lewd and lascivious slumbers. Tlie Critic, published by Shelley & Long, ; entered the family of Salt Lake critics last evening, and was distributed as the pro-j pro-j gramme at the Opera House. It will be pub lished three times a week, and devoted to j theatrical, social and sporting events. Leavitt's All Star Company will play a three-night engagement at the Salt Lake i Theater next week, commencing on the Jfth j inst.

They know f which is the wisest course to pursue. They understand the frailtv and vulnerability of I the enemy. Ogden Herald. Certainly they do, so why deny that "frailtv" and fanny i Davenport go together. Mrs. Wilson, an old offender before the 1 iwlice court bar of justice, was fined $25 this morning by Judgo Speirs, for being ; drunk, profane and disorderly. "When the 4 Judge pronounced the fine the old lady j heaved a sigh like a woman getting a tooth j pulled, who is determined not to show the 1 i operation hurts. I" j . There has been a bulletin board put out in J front of MoMurrin's residence in the Eighth ward. It gives his condition every few hours. This morning at 6 o'clock the bulletin bulle-tin showed the following: Pulse 70, temperature temper-ature 98, and respiration 18. He passed a comfortable night, and all the svmptoms at present are favorable for recovery. h The virtuous Salt Lake Herald thinks " j! San,not tae vioe of prostitution that t'.ie . Federal officials are desirous of checking in !. their efforts to conviot the Davenport wo- I man." Does the Herald think that it was ! the vioe of "lewd and lascivious" that the city officials were desirous of checking in their efforts to convict Vanderoook, Yearian, s etal? Has the Herald got any opinion in t that matter? j The stay of proceedings in the Hopt case j granted by Judge Zane gives the prisoner a I j new lease of life, and not until the Supreme i Court of the Territory has reviewed the J transcript in the case and passed upon the exceptions, will it be known whether the j Hentence passed will be carried out. Had i :j the exeoution taken place, as per respite, I t Hopt would have gone to Hades about 10 ;! o'clock this morning. I i Theso women may have hired to do as they have done, but it is an indisputable faat that they have inveigled no pure and innooent man. Virtuous Salt Lalce Herald, i : The italios are the Democrat's, and are sig- I i xnfioant, as the Herald claims to be the city 1 j ?rgan, and has right along denied the soft f J impeaohment that the city was in with the ! ' prostitutes. In an unwary moment the Herald has given "the snap' away. 1.1 The foot race whioh comes off to-morrow J afternoon between Harry Williams (alias Billy Hough), of Pittsburg, and Dave Eeese. j Jj of Logan, promises to draw a large crowd. I ! i as this like their last race of a week ao I i nas every appearance of genuineness. The jj ' conditions of the race are that Williams ! allows Reese 1)4 yards start in 1C3 yards t The stakes are $125 a side, with the privilege I i f raising them to $150. The time and plaoe i j nave not yet been decided on.. . , It; is said that Young and Solomon went j pn Fanny Davenport's bond yesterday mer- i lv to belp out the polioe, and that they did ' ' bo beoause the end justifies the means. The J action of the polioe in the affair was to give the woman a show. Kioe business for police ; ! offioers seeking the protection of a public ' prostitute, and to give her a show when she 1 ; s brought to account for keeping an im- j moral house. The whole business indicates i ';! which way the wind blows. ' iji The Ogden Herald says the Democrat lies is when it intimates that the editor of that '! paper wrote the alleged letter from the peni- , tentiary republished in the Democrat last Wednesday. To be called a liar by a fellow i whose hypocrisy is co-extensive with the I Mormon duoats he receives, whose heart is I j blacker than tu& articles he writes, and who j will be kicked out of hell for the same crime that Tom Popper was, is reallv a very serious j j j charge. In fact, such little things annoy us. i i j Fanny Davenport's case came up this ! i 1 afternoon in the Commissioner's Court. I Examination was waived, and she was bound ' ( I over in the sum of $ 1.5C0to await the action " J of the Grand Jury. Some tall rustling and ' j j x , persuasive talking had to be done before ( -1 bondsmen could be found to sign the new T 1 ; bond. Finally K. B. Young and Alfred Solo- I I mon consented to go on the new bond, and . I i were accepted. These two men are the same : 1 ; that went security yesterday.. The witnesses : : ! in the case were all excused from further j attendance on the Commissioner's court. s ' - ' |
