LAw1N UTAH-A CURIOUS DECISION.

LAWN UTAH-A Curious Decision.
Salt Lake, October 30.-The L. ).
District Court was occupied the whole
of this morning in the argument OF a
motion to admit Daniel II. Wells, one
of the party arrested on Saturday upon
the charge of murder, to bail. Upon
the conclusion of the counsel, Chief
Justice Kean said: "Although before
this motion was argued, | was well
aware that, both in Great Britain andln
the nited States, prisoners under lndict
ment for murder are rarely, If ever, adj
mitted to bail, still was willing to be
convinced that it was right in this case
to disregard an almost universal rule
Indeed | was anxious to be convinced
that it would be right to do so, as the
defendant. Wells, is the mayor of this
city and thehead of the police and as
Camp Douglas, where prisoners not
bailed are usually kept while awaiting
trial in this court, is some miles distant
from the city hall and mayors residence,
it would be practically impossible for
the defendant, while in that camp, to
attend to any of his official duties, and
he could not be held responsible for the
quiet and good order of the city. will
therefore admit the prisoner to bail in
the sum of $4,000, with two sufficient
suretieS."

TIE PRICE OF LABOR IN CHICAGO
A telegram from Chicago, dated Octo,
Der u, says: The vast magnitude OF
the work of clearing away the ruins
and rebuilding Chicago is, of itself prov
ing an important means of relief to the
mechanics and laboring men, who are
finding plenty of employment at re-
munera,ive wages. The average rate
for laborers in the ruins is Sl.75 per
day, there being very few cases wherein
a larger sum is paid. For terms the
rate was advanced to 81 so per day,
and carpenters, who were receiving
80 before the fire, now find little
difficulty in getting So or $3.50. The
wages of bricklayers remain at 50 or
1926 per day, as the builders are stout
" resisting the action of the Chicago
Bricklayers' Union in demanding an IN
crease. On yesterday many members
of the Union struck and left the walls
on being refused any increase, but the
contractors are not seriously nconve-
nienced thereby, as there are large num-
bers ofbricklayers here front esurround-
ING town and cities, willing and anxious
to work at the prevailing rates, so that
the efforts of the craft to organize a
corner in Chicago seem likely to react
AGAINST them. Brick has risen in price
from Sc so per thousand before the fire,
to sl2 and SIS per thousand. The supply
seems to be ample, lot of two mil
lions being offered, on yesterda y,for ~
per thousand, laid down in Chicago, but
not in the wall.

AFFAIRS IN CHCAGo-THE SUFFER
ING IN TIE NoRTHwEsT.-ChicagO, Oct.
80. The damaged grain in four of the
burnt elevators, quantity not stated, was
sold to-day for $685.. Mr. Crosby will
not rebuild the opera house, but will
put business block on the old site.
The Pacific Hotel will be rebuilt on the
old plan and site. 1t is understood that
the railroads interested will subscribe
100000 towards the rebuilding.
The Tribune appeals to the generous
in behalf of the sufferers by the Wiscon-
sin, Michigan and Minnesota fires. Prob
ably $4,000 persons in northern Wiscon-
sin and Michigan have been stripped OF
every possession by these fires. Many
of them have also been rendered sick,
blind or crippled by the ordeal, which
will necessarily make them objects of
charity for some time to come. Cnfor-
tunately, too, where whole families and
whole communities were involved III
the common ruin, there are no neigh
bors nor relatives on whom, as in Chi
cago, some of the sufferers can fall back
for assistance. They can merely flock
in masses to the nearest towns unscath,
ed by the flames, there to starve or
freeze unless timely aid arrives. There
should, for humanity's sake, be prompt
copious contributions of money, cloth.
ing and articles most needed The
Governors of Wisconsin and Michigan
are the most appropriate channels
through which aid can be administered
The officers of the Bricklayers' Union
assert that that body has taken no action
in regard to wages. The advance in
wages has been owing to the competing
bids of employers who offered larger
wages to journeymen if they would
leave former employers and work fol
them.

The election for members of the Leg
islature, members of the Constitutional
Convention, State Senate, and County
Officers, took place in this State on

most popular men of the State. Jetfer-
son and Berkeley combined sends Hon.
c.. J. Faulkner and Hon. w. Ii. Travers

ture. Berkeley sends Col. John Blair

1st, after summing up the results of the

THE CoNrLAGRATIoN SUMMED CP.-
1t is estimated, upon what may be re-
earded as good authority, that the hire
in Chicago covered over 1000 acres In
the heart of the city ; over 2O,Ooo
buildings were destroyed, and $4,000
persons dispossessed of their homes
80, 600 buildings are left standing, So
600 people have left the city, and $780,
900 remain Five grain elevators were
burned, with 100000 bushels OF grain;
eleven elevators remain uninjured, con-
tanning 100000 bushels of grain. One
half the entire pork produced was burn
ed, with the same proportion OF flour.
Eighty thousand tons of coal were con-
sumed, and about the same amount Is on
hand. Fifty million feet OF lumber
were burned, and two hundred and for
tv million feet remain unharmed-near-
" one quarter enough to rebuild the
waste places. The stock of leather was
reduced to about one quarter, the value
of that burned being about $4,000.
The greater portion of the stocks OF
groceries, dry goods, and boots and
shoes were burned, with more than one
half the ready-made clothing, but the
quantities destroyed were scarcely equal
to three weeks supply, and are being
rapidly replaced. About ten per cent
of the currency was burned. A careful
average of these largeritems with small
er ones shows that the city has suffered
a loss of not less than twenty nor TWEEN
tv-fve per cent, on her total assets, real
and personal.
