Correspondence of the Upton ADVERTISER


Echo CITY. UTAH, 1an'y 30, Ga.
Jlr. Editer:-We closed before at Wa
satch, twenty-six miles east of here.
Masatch is at the summit of the Wa
satch Range; and is AT present AS far as
passenger coaches run on the road. The
track is laid thirty-six miles beyond
Wasatcl,, but is at present only operated
by construction contractors. From Wa
satcl the road passes down Echo Kan
yon to this place. Here we met with
grand and terrific scenery. High noun
tains on either side, with bold and al
most perpendicular fronts of red or
brown stone, in places looking like vast
castles and walled houses with turrets
and battlements. From Echo kanyon
the road passes into Weber kanyon,
and follows down the Weber River.
One particular feature down this Kan
Won is the devils Gate where the
river breaks through a narrow gorge,
the mountains rising almost perpendic'
ulnr for thousands of feet, and the rail-
sharp angles, high up above the river
The rocks even overhang the road
Great masses project out so far that the
trains must pass directly under them
From this Kanyon the railroad emerges
into tke plain of the great Salt Lake
valley. Here we find a settled country
well scttled, with farms, towns and
cities. Ogden, eight miles north Of the
mouth of this kanyon, is Il city that
supports newspaper. 1t contains from
5000 to 1000 people; has police and al
the style Of a city.
Twenty-fuur miles north of this i:

to 5000 people, that sports theatre

and other amusements. All this coun.

tiles are scarce. From Brigham the
railroad turns directly west and passes
the promontory at the north end ci Salt
Lake. on its way to the Pacific. y few
miles from Brigham To the west, Beal
River empties into Salt Lake; and here
will he the great town Of Salt Lake val
ley, for here the Montana and Idaho
,ra,le will come down to meet it. Here
he two roads will be apt to meet; where
he machine and repair shops will be,
which will make city oft. About 100

OBITUARY.
John DurIvage.

This gentleman, known all over the country
as journalist and actor died in Memphis,
Tenn. on Friday morning. He was native of
Boston, and was q kinsman of Edward Everett
For the past twenty years he has been connected
with the press of Boston, New York, New Or
leans, and California. In San Francisco he was
one of the founders of the Alta California. He
wrote readily and pointedly, and some of
his humorous productions enjoyed q wide
reading He was also the author of several
successful farces and burlesques. Durivage
was a genial, warm-hearted man, but
he was his own worst enemy, and his lfe was
therefore a sOrrowful one. For some years he
has acted in the leading theatres of the West.
His last permanent engagement was with Spauld-
ing " bluwell, at the Academy of Music, New
Orleans. There some of his newest and plea
santest burlesques were performed. few
weeks ago he went to Memnhis with nm tine-
rant company of actors. The manager, after q
bret season, ran away and lett Tie company
without means and IN trouble. Durviage was
taken sick and carried to the hospital, where he
fingered until his dissolution. on Friday. He
was only forty years of age, and leaves wife in
this city.

FROM C.4PE MAT.

The Disastrous Conaa grutiou Yesterday-Fnr-
ther Hearing of the "Pearl Diver" on the
Charge of Being the Incendary.
Special Despatch to The EUening Telegraph.
CAPE MAY, Sept. 1.-Peter P. Boyton, better
known as the Pearl Diver, was subpGnaed yes
terday as a witness in the case of the late disas
trous conlagration. There was neither com.
plainant nor prosecutor, but most remarkable to
relate, Boyton was held to bail in the sum of
two thousand dollars to appear at 10 o'clock this
morning for further hearing. The bail was
promptly entered by Mr.. j. NJ. Maris, and an
other gentlemen from Philadelphia, two perfect
strangers to Mr.. Boyton. The Mayors room
was crowded, the audience beng mostly com
posed of women and children. Mayor Miller re-
sumed the investigation. number of witnesses
were examined. At the close of the eXamina-
ton, Mr.. Ernst, of Philadelphia, as counsel for
Mr.. Boyton, desired the Mayor to observe the
distinction between charge of arson based
upon an oath of affirmation, which is not the
case here; and the mere rumor under which
Boyton has been taken into custody and held
under $4,000 bail for his appearance at this in
vestigation was not evidence to war
rant such a proceeding. He said that
there is no charge against him what
ever. His character for honesty
and integrity has suffered by this proceeding,
and may impair in future his honest eHorts In
the discharge of his usiness pursuits. Under
these circumstances Mr.. Ernst deemed 1t emil
nenty proper to state the precise position OF
the case, and concluded by making the follow
ing motion, which he requested the mayor to
place on his record, VIII
''That Mr.. Boyton be honorably discharged
from further custody of the law, having been
held simply as witness in behalf OF the State
of New Jersey"
His Honor the Mayor said--
"I see no reason for the further detention OF
Mr.. Boyton, and he is accordingly honorably
discharged"
The investigation will again be resumed at
o'clock this afternoon. As soon as the Mayor
discharged Mr.. Boyton, there were several
rounds of applause the ladies particularly press
ing forward to congratulate him. Mayor Miller
is determined to make the most searching In
yestigation. Several collectors OF the different
insurance companies are here
