All the livery carriages in r.oan have been engaged for the Jennings f hwirL The deputies were busily e ngaged to-day in serving summonses oh the grand and petit jurors for the February term. Lawyers are considen.Hy divided in their opinions on the bill introduced by Mr. Thur-man Thur-man in the Legislature on Thurs Jy. Some of them favor it. Next week the members of the Legislature will visit the Territorial Insane Asylum. It is not yet known whether they will be allowed to return. It is understood that ex-Mayor Little, Bishop John Sharp and John Henry Smith will be the speakers at the funeral services of Mr. Jennings to-morrow. It is conoeded by all that the Lewis Morrison Mor-rison company, taken as a whole, is one of the best dramatic companies that ever played in Butte. Butte Inter-Mountain, 16th. The Deseret National Bank, of which the late Wm. Jennings was Vice-President, will close its doors to-morrow at 1 p. m., out of respect to the memory of the deceased. The funeral of ex-Mayor Jennings will take plaoe to-morrow at 1 o'clock from the Devereux House. The publio will be permitted per-mitted to view the remains from 10 to 12. The finger-boards or street signs in the Twentieth and Twenty-first wards, which !were broken down some months ago, have not yet been replaced. The matter should be attended to. The organ recital of St. Mark's church promises to bs a very interesting entertainment entertain-ment and will be under the direction of Prof. Badcliffe. It will comprise eight numbers, num-bers, vocal and instrumental. Edward Harrison, after succeeding yesterday yester-day in giving the newspaper reporters "a wide berth," left on the D. fc K. G. train for the West. He didn't have time to sue for damages and false imprisonment. Invitations are out fora grand masquerade masquer-ade ball to be given in the Emporium Hall Wednesday evening, the 27th. The affair is in the hands of an experienced oommittee and will doubtless be a success. The Tribune won't tell what the amount was it received for the Government printing two years ago. Will Mr. Seoretary Thomas do what the Tribune declines to do? James Bobbins, of Tintic, who was formerly for-merly a resident of Salt Lake and well-known well-known throughout the Territory, died in Denver a few days ago. His body will be brought here for interment this week. The Commissioners to-day made the following fol-lowing appointments for t he Logan municipal muni-cipal election, occurring the first Monday in March: Thomas Rowland, presiding judge, W. W. Maughan and Aaron De Witt, associates. asso-ciates. The Tribune advertised that it had for sale copies of the laws of 1884, at $5 per copy. Onoemore we ask: If the Tribune did not procure from Mr. Seoretary Thomas the copies which it advertised for sale, where did it procure them? Mr. Alfred Nielson, the gentleman who has on several occasions delighted Salt Lake audiences with his sweet tenor voioe, is to have a benefit in the Sooial Hall next Monday Mon-day evening. Professors B. B. Young and W. Weihe are among the contributors to the programme. Mr. S. Francis, who substituted the name of Ben Sheeks for that of Judge Speirs, yesterday, yes-terday, for the Council Committee on the Compilation of the Laws of Utah, is one of the most intellectual as well as gentlemanly members of the present Legislature. His action was promptly sat down upon. All of the stock which was shown in the inventory of H. Koehler's assigned business has been purchased by Durgin & Andrews, the proprietors of the Second South street commission store. It is understood that the Continental Oil Companv is endeavoring to have the goods retained and sold at the old premises, and the matter may result in the reopening of the defunct business. The Tribune "declines to answer" refuses to 6tate the amount it received for the Government Gov-ernment printing two years ago, and urges as an excuse that to do bo would be "to lay bare its business affairs for its the Deuo-obat's Deuo-obat's inspection." The excuse is a very lame one, to be sure, oonsidering the asseverations assev-erations the Tribune has made about "never having received a dollar from the Government Govern-ment that it has not honestlv earned." The Democrat challenges the tribune to make public the amount of its bill for the work referred to. I jit is not an uncommon thing in the States and Territories for the members of the Legislatures to visit public buildings and institutionssay, in-stitutionssay, for instance, an insane asylum. The Utah Legislature will therefore there-fore f ollow good precedent when its members mem-bers inspect the Territorial institution at Provo next week. The one thing to be regretted re-gretted is that the department for naturals and idiots is not yet ready for patients. If it were, the Legislature might be profitably ensmalled by leaving a few of its chronic and hopeless cases in an institution to which they rightfully belong. A Post of the Grand Army of the Republic Repub-lic was organized at Milford last Saturday,, and comrades Timoney and Wetherell of the James B. McKean Post were chosen to ! muster in and install the following officers of the new post: James McGarry, post commander; com-mander; E. McB. Timoney, senior vice-commander; vice-commander; Ben Johnson, junior vice-commander; Abel E. Thomas, chaplain; A. W. Mowry, quartermaster; Joseph McCormiok, adjutant; Daniel Remington, officer of the day; Henry Melville, officer of the guard. The new post purposes giving a grand ball on Washington's birthday anniversary, February 'J2. ; On Saturday morning last, speaking of the award of the Territorial printing to the Mews, the Tribune claimed that there was trickery in the giving out of that work, and asserted that it had "a right to know all about the matter, and the publio have ! right to know." Granted. But how does the Tribune's claim in this respect harmon- ize with its refusal to let the public know the amount it received for the Government print-ing print-ing two years ago? Can it be possible that the publio have "a right to know all about the matter" in the one case, and no right to know anything at all in the other? ' |
