A Mormon Bishop Arrested for Murder.
Trial Begun in the Hawkins Case.

SALT LAKE, Oct. 1S.-AarOn johnson,
Mormon bishop, of Springvile, Utah
county, was arrested this afternoon at that
place, by United States Marshal Patrick
under an Indictment found year ago, as
accessory to the murder OF prisoner. He
will be taken to Provo, and tomorrow
will have hearing before Judge Strickland
of the First District Court.
The whole time of the Court here to-day
has been occupied in empannelling a jury
for Hawkins. Challenges not yet ex-
hausted.
Gold bearing quartz brought in to-day
from Bingham canon asSaying over $1,000
per ton.
One hundred and sixty recruits for reg
iment at Camp Douglas arrived last night
A meeting of the Mormon High Council
is called for tomorrow night.
In the case of Hawkins, polygamist,
charged by his first wife with adultery, the
Jury was finally empannelled this P. M, and
the trial commenced. Tom Fitch, for the
defendant, occupied all the morning in ar
gument that he had the right, under United
States law, TO peremptorily challenge, while
the prosecution had only the right to two.
Judge Mexican, on the ground that this was
matter of the people of the United States
in the Territory of Utah, and not the United
States, decided against the defence.
On the opening of the trial the first wit
ness called was the true wife, who testified
positively to the cohabitation Of her hus-
band with two other women in her house
continuously. Tomorrow the. daughter,
now married, will take the witness stand.
The Indictment in this case is brought I'M
der the Utah statute in relation to crimes
and punishment, approved March 6, 1856.
Everything is peaceable, and the weather
ia deliOhtful.

Appalling Details of the Great Fires
The Loss Of Life at Pestigo 1900.
SeVenty.FlVe Men Burned in Mill.

MILWAUKEE, Oct. l9.-The Dover conn
ty Adoocate contains full account of tn,
loss OF life and property by the great fire:
In that county.
Up to Sunday night, 9Th, the fires had
| Deen raging through the towns Of Brussels
Union, Gardner, Forestville, Claybanks
Nasewaupee, Sturgeon Bay and Sevasto-
POI, burning fences and timber, but leaving
houses uninjured. At P. NJ. Sunday night,
the fiery tornado swept down from the
south and west, beginning at the Belgian
settlement in Brussels, sweeping through
the towns Of Union, Gardner, the western
part Of Seyastopol, down the east shore of
The Bay. Every building was consumed.
AT Williamson's Single mill everything
was burned, and a most awful destruction
OF human life ensued. Out of 80 persons
at the mill, % were burned to death. The
few survivors tell a horrible tale of the
scene at this terrible holocaust After the
nre 10 bodies were found in potato patch
IN the center of the clearing. Other bodies
were found scattered, and some in wells.
There We're many disigured in terrible
manner, In some cases beyond recognition.
Inns great destruction was but the work of
nfteen minutes, and was the same tornado
that burned Pestigo and 1;2O0 human
beings. no
A number of other losses of life are re-
ported IN other places; twenty-five in the
town OF Brussels suffered alike fate. There
IS scarcely house standing in the line of
this storm of fire. =.
Efforts for relief are not spared here or
any where in the State, and donations from
abroad are coming along just in time to
make comfortable those who survive. Con-

Details Of the Emancipation Law.

NEW YORK, Oct 19.-Late files of Bra.
lillian journals contain the following facts
concerning recent legislative action in Bra
I'll on emancipation. One of the bills
which met with the greatest opposition ap-
propriated eight million dollars to be used
to free about million and half of slaves.
The ground of opposition was the fact that
this sum was too small. One of the Sena-
tors saying that by this bill only ten thou
sand slaves per annum could be freed. The
bill finally passed appropriates much larger
sum, while the pay for each slave is put at a
very low figure. The plan of emancipation
will be gradual, only the children born after
the passage of act on the 9th of last month
are to be at once liberated. 1t is though.
that the whole number of slaves in the
Empire will not exceed million and a nalf.
The majority of these are in the Southern
part of the country. The sugar interest
will not suffer from the change. 1t is doubt
full about the results in the coffee regions
where the slaves are more numerous. The
Emperor fayors emancipation. The passage
of the bill by the legislative branch of the
Government practically delivers Brazil from
the evils of slavery.

A CunRSrONE LECTURE.

In the BGnaer OF, yesterday morning
Ethae appeared, among its city items, "a
card from Arthur S. Colyar" and signed,
some time, A. S. Colyar," in which the sign
er of the card proposed to speak piece
from the steps of his 'own Office discuss
ing 'the rights of citizens as dealt with by
politicians, and the danger to the country
from the extremes of party" ...s.,
Col. Colyar, for it was he who was to
speak, having always been a politician, and
an extremist, it was very reasonably sup
posed that he could and would give the
public an interesting and improving lecture
upon the subject he proposed, and with
which it was believed he was entirely IA
miliar. Hence, at the appointed hour, Col.
Colyar appeared, and proceeded to address
his audience. -, -r q go,
To those who have known him since the
war closed, it is needless to mention the
fact that lee spoke of the mechanics, Peni-
Tertiary labor and the Sewanee Coal Mines.
To those who have known him since Satur-
= ~ e.
day morning last, when the Democracy of
Davidson, mechanics and all, put quietus
to his aspirations for the Legislature, it is
satisfactory to say that he was especially
devoted to the UNION AND AMERICAN and
its editor.
From what we have heard of the speech,
it was characteristic, and came fully up to
the standard of the great ancient orator,
who taught us the greatest good of all ora
tory: ACuoN Action! ACTION! Some
of the auditors complained that the VIC
,lence Of gesticulation, while itproduced diar-
rhoea Of words, did not remove the constipa-
ton Of ideas. We cannot think from this that
Col. Colyar's speech was uninteresting. He
is always instructive. His speeches are of
that happy kind which the people can en-
JOY with SO much cordially, because of the
sincerity with which they can oppose any of
his suggestions. Not because he is Col.
Colyar, but simply because he is mostly
wrong. This, however, we candidly believe,
is notlhis fault but his misfortune. These
are circumstances which cannot be
avoided, aud hence the oft quoted
expression Of Artemus Ward, 'Why this
thusness p The very best of men are
sometimes misled about property, and so ii
may be that Col. Colyar is mistaken as TO
the particulars of our government. One
thing we may safely assert, that he viii, as
in duty bound, keep his eye on the main
chance,
