So great was the interest in the de-
cision of Judge Fuller on a motion for
a new trial in the Raymond Il Ely
Hermes case. that gentlemen on
adverse sides had arranged for signals
to be hoistvd upon the rendition OF the
decision by the Court. Each, without
the knowledge of the other, had ar
ranged to have a red flag raised upon
the announcement Of the decision In
his favor. When the decision was
given for a new trial, q Raymond &
Ely man unturled his banner to the
breeze. The signal was seen by a
| Hermes man. who, mounted OH a fiery
steed, made 1:40 time from the Court
house to the telegraph office and COM
municated the supposed glad tldings
to another Hermes man, who Mt once
telegraphed the supposed result to
| San Francisco. Flushed with the be-
lief that they had achieved q great tri-
umph. they repaired to a saloon near
by and ordered a basket of champagne.
Before they had time to imbibe their
wine, the mistake which had been
maue WAS u~tsCONcTeu' L y WIZ Wv wi

Notwithstanding the cry Of "hard
times !" the animation with which the

Two Children Burned to Death.

We clip the following from the New
Endorment Salt lake, of July 3D.:
The distressing details Of a most
heart rending affair, which occurred
near Ophir City. East Canyon. reached
us yesterday evening. Last Monday
afternoon. a Mrs. Bennett had occa-
sion to 20 to the town, n half or three
quarters OF q mile from her home, aud
lett her two little children, aged one
and three years respectively, locked up
IN the house. During her absence the
house caught fire and the two children
were burned to death. Everything In
aud about the house was consumed, but
it seems almost soothing to mention
such loss In View OF the terrible fate OF
the innocent little children, entailed
upon them BY the almost criminal
carclessDess Of the mother. AS 0 as
the smouldering embers could be par.
TALLY extinguished, the charred and
blackened remains Of the children were
found, and from their positions 1t Is
supposed that the elder one. a boy, had
crawled under the bed In the vain en-
deavor to escape the pitiless flames,
while the younger II had persisted In
Its cradle. A %coroner's inquest was
summoned and a verdict Of death by
accidental burning found. At the time
Of this sad occurrence, the father Of the
children was In this city, and did not
learn Of It until when within half a
mile Of home on his return. Upon be-
ing told of 1t he became fearfully ex-
cited and uttered terrible imprecations
and threats toward his wife. The SYM
patty Of the neighbors for the bereayed
parents Is somewhat alleged by indig-
nation at the mother who would leave
such small children locked up alone in
the house. and by the mystery in which
the origin of the fire Is clouded. De-
spite the verdict Of the coroner's jury,
there are those who, from certain past
circumstances, are troubled with n ter
rible suspicion. The funeral Of the
children took place Tuesday, and was
largely attended.
