Show I I . LOCAL JOTS. The sixteen stockmen who left for the j convention yesterday went in a special D. & R. G. sleeper. An infant Democrat arrived last week in ' the family of W. F. Williams. Everybody ' concerned is happy. In view of the status of the Bell telephone i litigation, there is some prospect of the Molecular exchange to resume operations in j Ogden. I A real old-timer polygamy sermon was j preached in the Fourteenth Ward Meeting House, Sunday evening, by a home mission- j ary. ; j The Deseret National Bank Board have ! I . drafted and passed a series of resolutions of respeot to the memory of the late William Jennings. Two deaths from diphtheria were reported yesterday, one in the Hamlin family and j the other in the family of Joseph Bull, Jr., , in the Nineteenth ward. L. C. Karrick purchased from S. W. Sears yesterday the store and ground occupied by Kalin Bros., on Main street. The consideration consider-ation is reported as being $25,000. Mrs. Luella and Miss Fanny Young give a complimentary farewell ball to their friends this evening in the Eagle Gate hall, and will take to-morrow's train for New York. A washout along the C. P. delayed the train arrival in Ogden yesterday some ten hours. A special D. & R. G. brought the passengers and mail down late last night. The efforts made by N. V. Jones' attorney to get the latter's bonds reduced this morning, morn-ing, suggested that perhaps the Collector is pining to join Fanny Davenport and some others. John H. Hernbroke, the party brought before be-fore J ndge Speirs yesterday for petty larceny, was to-day sent up for eighty days' hard labor on that count and an additional charge of vagrancy. ; The funeral services over the remains of the late Mr. and Mrs. A. O. Patterson, the victims of the Park City snowslide, will be held in St. Mark's Cathedral to-morrow afternoon at 1 o'clock. The liev, Mr. Put- i nam will officiate. j John R. Kioe, the bar-tender at the Con tinental Hotel, in pulling a cork from a bottle bot-tle yesterday received a severe cut in one of his eyes, inflicted by a piece of broken glass. The injured optic will disqualify the gentleman gen-tleman for duty for some days to come. The Walker Brothers Company is a new incorporation which filed its articles with the County Clerk to-day. It will conduct the merchandising business heretofore operated oper-ated by Walker Brothers, who, by the way, are the principal stockholders. The capital ; stock of the company is placed at $180,000. George W. Davis, the witness who pot j slightly mixed in his testimony in the Collin I examination the other day, is endeavoring to throw some peculiar responsibility upon lawyer Rawlins. It may be a fact that the latter did much to cause the witness' embarrassment, em-barrassment, but as to any effort to compromise com-promise with him, any one who knows Mr. Kawlins will feel sure that the witness is again getting mixed, when he makes any such assertion. A gentleman residing in the Fourth Municipal Mu-nicipal precinct of this city, in speaking of the primaries of the Peopled party the other day, offered to bet two to one that at the meeting of that precinct Bishop Whitney would be nominated for chairman by his counsellor, Robert Patrick. The report from the meeting last night sure enough confirmed the fact, and the .Democrat regrets that it did not take the prediction for the report, as it could have been thoroughly relied upon. The News is reckless enough to feel eorry that Deputy Collin TJid not shoot the other parties who were in the alley on the night of November 23th, and still persists, in the face of all the evidence recently developed, that those persons were friends of Mr. Col- j. Jin, and possibly associate . deputies. The ! , News will possibly not be kept long in sus pense as to exactly who those parties were, ,' . and had better begin now to frame some ; mitigating excuse for the presence of some of the brethren with McMurrin that night. ! ; An editorial in the Salt Lake Herald this ; morning on the McMurrin case is a marvel of gall, Mormon logic and base mendacity. "The publio," says that Latter-day second trombone, "still has confidence in McMur-, McMur-, rin'8 absolute innocenoe, but his persistent j silenoe will in time shake that confidence, ! hence the necessity for him to speak." As 1 McMurrin is silent and does not answer, the Herald should note that he himself seems to have less confidence in his "absolute innocenoe" inno-cenoe" than has the flustered scribe who is so particularly vehement in the case. It is thought McMurrin would deny the charge in the columns of the Herald, but that he is afraid of again being "foully murdered." |
