TIE MoRmoNs DrrYINo TIE LAW

THE MoRNoSs DEFYING THE LAW
Late Salt Lake dispatches seem to indi-
cate that Brigham Young's followers are
beginning to experience that madness "
which the gods inhict upon those whose
destruction has been decreed. On The
Sd Of August the people of Tooele county,
Utah, at a regular election, elected Law
renee A. Brown to the Office of Probate
Judge of said county. On the 18th of
August the Probate Judge elect, having
duly qualified by executing the bond re-
quired by law, presented said bond to
Thomas Atkins, the Treasurer of Tooele
county and demanded that 1t should be
approved and fled. Atkins refused to
comply with this demand, assigning as
his reason the alleged fact that the cleo
ton of Brown would be contested. The
matter being brought before Chief JUS
tice Mexican upon an application for
writ OF maudamus commanding Atkins
to approve and file the bond, decision
was made to the effect that Brown had
right to the possession of the office that
the supposed or real fact that his right to
the Office might or would be contested
! was a fact with which the defendant had
nothing to do and furnished no valid ex-
cuse for his refusal to approve and file
the bond. Accordingly a peremptory
writ of mandamus was issued requiring
the Treasurer to perform his duty.
1t seems, however, from the dispatches
received, that the Mormon officials have
worked themselves up to such pitch of
desperation that they are ready to defy
the law and dare the consequences. The
Mormons are reported to declare that
they will fight to the death " rather
than yield the point, and the Gentiles
are said to be fully prepared to meet the
issue in that shape. 1t seems as if cri-
sis in Utah is close at hand.-,San Fran
cisco Chronicle.

A STRANGE CASE OF INsANITY.-The
Yreka papers give an extended account of
a case of insanity which is of very un-
common type. In the month Of Febru-
airy last boy named Thomson, aged
II years, caught a wild cat in trap, and
in endeavoring to take the animal out
alive was bitten by it. Since that time
he has been subject TO fits of insanity,
and when under the influence of one of
thosn spells he wonld initiate the voice
and motions of the animal by which he
had been bitten. Latterly his paroxysms
have become more violent and of longer
duration, making him dangerous to the
other members of the family. The dis
ease resem bles hydrophobia, without the
aversion to water and foaming at the
mouth which characterize that disorder.
1t is known among physicians as raJia
feliHd, and is very rare in this country
The unfortunate boy has been taken to
the Insane Asylum at Stockton for treat
ment.

A DESTRUCTIVE FIRE. The pretty
little town of Mokelmne Hill, in Calave-
ras county, was almost totally destroyed
by fire on Saturday morning last. AS is
usual in such cases the fire broke out in
the Chinese quarter. The town was To-
Gated two miles from the Mokelumne
river, the line between Amador and CAL
averas, and was at one time the county
seat of the last named county. From the
extensive list of the losses, which foot up
an aggregate Of $4,000, it would seem
that the entire town must be destroyed.
The Office Of the Calavcras Chronicle
the Oldest country paperin the State, and
one Of our most welcome exchanges, is
also burned-a loss of $1,000 without in
surance. In the present condition ol
Calaveras county it is doubtful if the
town is ever rebuilt to its former extent
We hope to hear of steps being taken to
aid the people of the unfortunate village
many Of whom must be left homeless and
penniless.

She Clings to Her Child In Death-Ex-
traOrdinarY Cnse Of Superstitfon.


traOrdinary Case Of Superstition.
In the tenement house 173 Seventh street, Jersey
City, lives Mrs. Black, widow. she had two
children, one girl five years old, the other a boy
eighteen months old. The latter died at nine
O'Clock at night Thursday, 18th inst.
Friday passed, and the neighb0rs wondered
why the woman did not make her appear
ance. Captain Van Riper, of the Second precinct,
was called on, and when he learned the child was
dead he notified County Physician Buck. The
latter called at the house and gave permit for
burial. The mother would not listen to such an
order. DR.. Buck told her it was imperative. The
poor woman threw herself on her knees and i'm.
plored him for Gods sake not to take her dear
child away from her. She was convinced that
after eight days it would come to life again.
DR.. Buck consented TO leave the lifeless cnld
with her on condition that she would place it on
ice. The poor woman answered, "Oh, no; 1t Is cold
enough without placing 1t on ice." Day after day
passed, and the neignbors again appealed TO the
to her bosom every night In the hope that life
would return. She heated the poker and placed

tracted to the place oc second aS complaint Hs
Ripper gave orders that the body be removed. In
carrying out this order ir was necessary to hold
the frantic mother till the body was removed out
OF sight, Alter it was removed she cried and
groaned in the most piteOus manner. Some kind
hearted neghbors exerted themselves to console
her, but In ain. She expects her brother, who is
her sole support to arrive to-day, and then she
says everything Will be right. Meantime the body
lies at Bradys, and there is no sign OF decsmpOsi
ton. The unfortunate woman, IL is feared, mas
lost her reason. She Will not admit any OF her
neighbOrs to sympathize with her, as she says she
has been robbed OF her child. Her cries at night
are heartrendlng. To-day the body will be inter-
red, and II the brother OF the unfortunate woman
does not appear 1t will be necessary to have her
sent to the County Lunatic Asylum. Yesterday
she acted I'm the most franric manner and would
not hA cOm fOrtpd-
