STILL AT WoRK.-lne ladies' In charge
of the festival in aid Of the Catholic
Church were again last evening at their
posts. Having surmounted the diff
culties attendant on the opening night
and concious of the triumph they had
achieved all looked as il they were not
laboring in vain. As We entered the
hall, smiling and happy faces greeted us
| everywhere. On our right we beheld
Mrs. j. c. Clarke dispensing the genuine
| festival beverage; to our left was Mrs.
| Quillen in her happiest mood ready to
supply any fancy article one could pos.
sibly call for. Casting our eyes to the
| further end of the hall we saw Mrs.
Hanrahan and Miss Keogh standing by
q long table groaning under the weight
| of such good things as would more than
satisfy the most fastidious appetite, and
then giving glance to one corner we
beheld Miss Carr behind candy stand
which forms the delight of the young
folks. II you wish for real innocent en-
joyment go to Armory Hall. The fes-
tival continues tonight.
DESERT SPRINGS SrATIoN.-This sta
ton on the Salt Lake road is now be-
coming notorious, owing to the recent
occurrences there. Yesterday morning
when the Salt Lake pony mail rider ar
rived, he stated that Idaho Bill and Al.
VIM had possession of the station and
were running it TO suit themselves, that
is, they were stopping every one that
came along the road taking their arms
and firing them off, sometimes handing
them back and sometimes not; turning
the liquors "loose," making os,.;one
indulge, practcing with six shooters on
the window glasses and Kidding the
house generally, in fact making it q
perfect pondemonium. We will have
more news when the Salt Lake stage
arrives and can tell better about affaias
! 1t is strange to US that the authorities in
Utah do not take hold of this matter a
little quicker than they have done and
settle 1t. as the idea of letting few men
run a station ia that style is hard t.
stand. OF course there will be no ship
ments of bullion or passengers by tina
road until affairs are settled.
A Big HEAT.-Yesterday at the Ray
mond & Ely foundry things were il
pretty lively order. A large number o
castings of all kinds were being mad
and the molten iron was poured out O
the big laddle in good shape. The me-
employed in the froundry were grin
and sooty and whilst dancing around til
big fire the countenances reflected b
the light from the furnaces might wit
but little stretch of the imagination b
taken tor those of whom we go ofts
hear when we attend our regular plac
of Worship. The foundry is now kel
= busily engaged in casting for both Il
