Ono Of BrighNm's Dupes.

A writer in the Tribune, of Salt Lake
City, Utah, says; Some years ago |
listened to the story of one of Brigham's
dupes as he was escaping from beneath
the yoke. Born in Sweden, where he
espoused Mormonism, he started for
Zion with his young bride. Reaching
Cleveland, Ohio, his funds, he found,
would only bring one Of them to Utah
His wife stayed there with friends,
while he came here, went to Provo,
where he found employment with a
bishop of the church. Money was earn
ed and given to Brigham to send for his
wife. Months passed and no wife came.
Again money was sent, with like result,
until the husband had sent money four
times through the same course Be
coming, at last, very much Disguised,
he announced his intention Of going
after his wife, still serving the bishop
until he thought he had funds enough.
Applying for his pay just after har-
vest he was told to go to the stubble
field, where almost every head of wheat
had bean carefully collected, and to
"glean his pay there" He came to our
city followed by spies, and finally
reached Ogden and friend there CON
cealed him, and with the aid of kind
hearted railroad men he found his way
into liberty again. | saw him trembling
with fear while hiding from his pur-
suers; and, again, after he had passed
beyond their reach. How great was the
change in his department and looks.
Our valleys no doubt contain thousands
wko are receiving no better treatment
and vet most of our visitors come here,
look on the best of Mormon society, and
90 away and proclaim this a great,
prosperous. happy and free people.
They know just as much of the true
Mormon life as if they had never visited

BaltImore's Losses by the Strike.

Attention has been called in the Ga.
zette Il number of times TO the serious
losses, caused by the strike on the Balt-
more and Ohio road, to nearly every
industry and branch of trade, wholesale
and retail.
1t ia of course impossible to estimate
with absolute accuracy the amount of
loss, in dollars and cents. Inquiry by
the Gazette into this question makes it
certain, however, that it does not fall
short of several million dollars, The
railroad company itself has done no
freight business, its passenger traffic has
fallen off to mere nothing, and freight
of all kinds, detained at various points,
has suffered more or less damage, some of
it having been rendered utterly worthless.
The railroad property near Mount Clare
destroyed by fire was alone valued at
about $4,000 and the loss by other
causes has been at least S500,00O. The
petroleum trade has been one of the
greatest sufferers. The loss to this
branch of trade may be put down at
100000, the loss to the grain trade at
$50 600, to the coal trade at $4,000, to
the wholesale liquor trade at $4,000 (es-
timating that the 500 saloons made an
average of only $40 day., to the cattle
trade at 100000, and to other trades at
100000. Besides these items are to be
considered the cost of burning of the
sash factories near President street depot,
100000; the maintenance of the troops,
S25,OO0, and of the special police, Sl5,-
600. There are, furthe more, to be taken
into account the stoppagc of manufactur.
ing, and consequently of wages, the
effect of this upon the retail trades, and
another item is presented of not less
than 100000. This makes grand to-
tai of nearly ~, 900, 900, sum that will,
it is believed, come within the actual
figures could they be positively ascer'
tanned. The following table will show
more clearly an approximate estimate of
the losses incurred by the various trades ;
