The DEATH OF FELIX DUNNE.-It having
been stated that there was criminality or
negligence somewhere in permitting the
two men, Patrick Comesky and Felix Dunno,
to fight in the first precinct stationhouse
cell, when both were prisoners, it is neces-
sary to make some explanation. The night
they were arrested they had been creating
q little disturbance, although they were
apparently friendly toward each other, and
had been drinking together; but that fact
was not known until the following day.
They were placed in the same cell, which
contained several prisoners. Nothing par
ticular occurred for some time after the
arrest was made, and the prisoners in the
Elk cells were as noisy as is usual when
few drunken parties are incarcerated. All
was in conformity to usage, the same as in
other precincts. Mr.. Beggs, turnkey, and
careful young man, soon afterward hearing
one of the prisoners cry out, as if in pain,
instantly began an investigation, finding
Mr.. Dunno lying on the floor, his face COW
cred with blood. Inquiring how it hap
pened, and who had done it, he received
several explanations from those who had
witnessed the trouble. Interrogating
Dunno proved useless, ~ he refused to
answer, even after he was placed ON bunk,
and was seemingly quite calm.
Officer Beggs1 ascertaining that Comesky
was the assailant, removed him into the
dark cell, where he reared until he was
hoarse. His removal was not effected with
out considerable trouble.
About ten or eleven o'clock some Of Mr..
Dunne's acquaintance obtained his release,
when he walked ont, AL tho time request
rs HE friends to sisn bsads for Cenesly.

Grand Methodist Camp Meeting In Salt Lake

SALT LAKE CITY, June IL, 1871.
The grand Methodist camp meeting began only
to-day The delay IN the transportation OF the man.
moth tent from san FRANCISCO prevented the inau.
Sufaiio6 Of the me6tidT on Friday last The
huge tent was pitched almost in the centre
Of the city The Mormon Church leaders and
papers. aided by the Tribune, had announced the
event, and lively interest was awakened before
the preachers arrived this morning. The first SER
vice was hello to-day. The day was intensely hot
and the tent gowed like a furnace About 500
persons were present at one time, though the
now to and from was great Rev. Mr.. Inskip
preached the afternoon service, which was some
what better attended, though the heat was almost
nolerable this evening. Rev. Mr.. Boole preached In
the great tent which was literally crowded with Nor
mons and Gentiles Hundreds stood ON the outside TO
lstel. The services were impressive, and the order
and decorum were perfect. Mr.. Bodies sermon ON
the supremacy OF the Divine teachings was listened
to with unqualified approval. He dealt heavy
blows against the new revelations, which told well
among the followers OF Brigham Young who have
been waverng IN their faith. The meeting was
considered highly successful Tomorrow, In conse-
quence OF the heat an early service will be held In
the morning and the other In the evening.

into regular old age Of garrulity and crab
bedness. 1t pokes fun at Mayor Hall, and
when his Honor, with infinite good humor,
pulls the envenomed shaft from his lacerated
bosom, nothing but the Orange county milk of
human kindness flows from the wound. How
much better and more sociable and more
genial it would have been for the Times to
while and donned its wisdom cap. It might
then have been guilty Of doing an act
of justice for the first time since It's career Of
dotage commenced to one Of the most polished
and cultivated gentlemen and politicians OF
the day. Because Mayor Hall has the honor
to be the Chief Magistrate Of the greatest city
on the American Continent 1t is no reason that
he should be denied the courtesies current
among gentlemen that he should be sub
jected to the oracular filings Of tyros in pro-
fesslonal amenities as they should be practised
among gentlomanly Journalists and politicians.
Take Mayor Hall as chief municipal officer,
as writer Of public documents, Of plays, and
as q critic Of players, as = poet, an editor, a
lecturer, speechmaker, horseback rider,
man Of wit and humor, q gentleman Of ele-
gance and refinement take him as genial
companion, careful counsellor, firm friend.
as man of af'ectionate and heightened i'm
pulses, he is at once the American gentleman
par erceNeace--the Admirable Chrlchton Of
our city politicians.
Hence this raid Of the Times into the realms
Of Bohemia and this conspiracy to undermine
the throne Of the King of the Bohsmians we
must believe are instigated by those envious
soribblers who have not polish enough to know
how to approach the presence Of his Bohe mic
Majesty brains enough to be enrolled among
even the lower circles 10 the mystic kingdom,
nor wit enough, unlike my lady Of the Hub,
to ''see where the fun comes in and take
joke with the good humor In which it Is made.
