Mormon Murde rers.

SALT LAKE, July 90. Robert f. Burton,
counsellor to Edward Hunter, the presi-
ding Bishop of the Mormon Church, has
Morris in 1862 Morris had set up in the
prophecy business in opposition to Brig
ham Young, and had q following of about
800. In order to silence this unwelcome
faction charges were trumped up, and
Burton, then Deputy Territorial Marshall
was sent with Il large posse to arrest the
Morrisites. After the arrest and surren-
der of the malcontents, Burton deiber-
ately shot and killed Morris. A woman
then remarked, This is another Mount
ain Meadows affair." Burton then shot
her. Another woman remarked: "YOu
are Il cold bloOded murderer" Burton
replied: "No woman shall say that and
live" and he at once shot her When
Burton was arrested he signaled to the
police, who followed him to the Court
room. On examination before Commits
sioner Sprague, ID. II. Wells, counsellor
to Brigham Young, appeared as one of
Burton's attorneys. Wells was greatly
excited and said to District Attorney
Howard: ''YOu are arresting our best
people. They are getting excited and
won't stand it, The baleful glances OF
the Mormons present gave this threat
peculiar significance. Wells attempted
to bulldoze Howard, and Burton was
held in $4,000 to await the action of the
Grand jury. The proof of his completely
is positive, and this, with Burton's high
station in the Church, eXcites the leaders.
Tonight Brigham Young and other lead
ers are holding a secret meeting in the
Council House.

A Water Supply.

The invitation which we gave for dis
cussion of the water question has brought
out a communication from Mr.. Castle,
which will be found in another column.
The plan which he submits is an eXpen
sive one at the outset, but it is claimed
that the income to be derived from the
use of water, and the safety it will ensure
to property, will more than compensate
for the outlay. The invitation is still
open to those who care to discuss the
matter, within reasonable limits and in a
proper manner. 1t may be that the right
plan is yet to be brought forward.
The subject of water supply for fire
purposes was recently under considera-
ton by committee of the city govern
ment. Their report contains the follow
ing
| in their opinion the Muck Pond, so called, is
insufficient of itself to supply water for fire Pur
| poses except for few months of the year but il
can be made available to the city as reservoir pro
vided supply can be obtained to feed it.
Your committee have made examination o
several springs on the Nath. Shaw farm, and find
II good supply OF pure spring water which could be
carried by pipe to the Muck Pond The amount
| of water which would be thus afforded would be
sufficient for all purposes until the city be double
| its present population,
Your committee would recommend retaining
! the Muck Pond in possession of the city and the
employment Of a competent engineer to test tho
| feasibility Of bringing water from the Shaw springs
to the Muck Pond and thence to this city"
The same committee was 10y vote o
the city government authorized to carry
out the suggestion made, by employing
an engineer to run levels to the Shaw
springs But we cannot learn that any
steps in that direction have been taken
| The committee consists Of Alderman Bur
CESS and Councilman Pierce and White
This committee has a matter in charge
| that should be attended to. If we can't
reach better source of supply than the
| springs, let us have that. But water is
needed, and that too, as soon rs it can be
| got here Let us hear from the commit

A Crazy Candidate.

Rev H. c. Munson, the Uniyersaist
clergyman of SkoWhegan, who was nomi-
mated the other day as the Greenback
candidate for Governor, is carrying on a
correspondence with Pig Iron Kelley of
PENNSYLVANIA. One of the clergymen's
letters written since the railroad riots
began, furnishes very curious reading.
The writer says he has ''sympathy large
as Christs for the million Of farmers and
laborers,' and that ~ was born to feel
others woes more keenly than my own.
1t will strike the sane reader as SOME
thing remarkable that party candidate,
and a clergyman besides, should solicit
support upon the claim that he possesses
the attributes of the Saviour
Not only this, but the reverend gentle
man has become so dementeI that he
denies the creed Of his church, and fiings
hell and damnation around with perfect
recklessness. ''Christ have mercy on us,
he eXclaims, "but the Devil take oul
statesmen" "God hurl 10 deepest he'll
the authors of our financial policy What
his Satanic majesty may think of the con
signment Of statesmen, if he ever re-
ceives it. we shall be curious to know
But it is very funny to see this exponent
of unlimited greenbacks and universe
salvation, constructing special tophcts
The use of the superlative "deepest hell
implies at least three. So the Rev. is not
content with one, or two hells, but con
structs a third specially for his poltica
opponents. Certainly this is the mos
insane document that ever any guberna
toral candidate affixed his name to. /
the editor of the Chronicle hadn't beer
as crazy us his candidate, lie would never
have given it to the public.

Shocking Double Murder IN Western
Massachusetts.

PITTSFIELD, July 30. The little viii
lage of Savoy, among the Berkshire hills
about u dozen miles from pittslield, was
the scene. yesterday, OF a double murder
Though the deed WAS committed in the
midst OF a throng of people assembled at
church. the murderer was permitted to
walk OF, and has not yet been arrested
Herbert Blanchard is a young man of %,
who has been counting one OF the twin
daughters of Mr.. +. Trask, of Savoy. His
suit has been opposed by her father, but
he has clandestinely met her. On Wedncs-
day night last, as Blanchard was going
home, he was fired at by some one con-
cealed in the bushes by the roadside lie
did not discover his wOuld-be assassin,
bat it is thought it was the father of the
1laSk girl. On Sunday he went to church
and during the noon hour, between SCI
wees, he had some conversation with Mr..
Trask, who told him to keep away from
his daughter. There We're some further
words, and Blanchard then knocked
Trasll down. The latters brother came
to his assistance, when Blanchard drew a
revolver and shot both the Traslls, one Of
them dying Immediately, and the other
cannot recover. y lady who was stand
ing near said: Herbert, you have done
shooting enough now" He at once lev
cllcd the pistol ut her, but Il man knock
ed it out Of his hand and thus saved her
life.
Blanchards father, who was present,
then secured the revolver, and the son
walked off, not an effort being made to
secure him by the paralyzed crowd 1t
has been ascertaincd that he went to Il
man who owed him, and saying that she
had started Il graveyard over at the
church" he demanded what was due him.
which he got and then disappeared.

Among the most popular productions
of American industry in these times is
the fve~cent cigar. Comparatively few
people are above smoking 4 five cent
cigar, and most people are, therefore, IN
terested in knowing something of it's fear
full and wonderful construction. Accord
ing to the manufacturers Of the five-cent
cigar it is d real Havana, except the
wrapper, but an investigation has shown
used as filling was collected in barrel,
and consisted of cigar stumps, cabbage
leaves and brown paper, gathered from
the streets. The system of boiling cab
bage leaves with tobacco stems and SUI
mac leaves, making the whole 'fine IIav-
ana tobacco has been brought to Il
wonderful state Of perfection; but it is
said that even the superior kind of to-
bacco thus made is decidedly improved
when favored with valerian, ammonia
and extract of the tonka bean. Here
after, when you smoke IL tive-cent cigar
you will know what is the matter with
you.
Mr.. Tilden's latest offence, according
to certain veracious chroniclers, is an at
tempt to defeat the reelection of Hon.
John G. Thompson, of Ohio, as Sergeant
alarms of the House of Representatives.
The cause, we are informed, is that Mr..
Thompson's voice was for Thurman, and
not for Tilden, at ST. Louis, and that it is
still for Thurman. But this is evidently
one of that class of stories invented for
the special edification of the marines.

The \. y. World has been inVeStiga-
ting the statute books of several States
for laws bearing upon the question OF re-
sponsibility for losses by riots. etc 1t
finds that in the three States which have
50 far been chiefly menaced by inceIdialy
mObS, the law gives those who suffer from
mob violence an effective remedy against
communities which from any cause fail to
perform their duty IN su CHI cases. In the
in which losses are so incurred, is liable
to an action ''Ior the damages sustained. y
In the Counties of Philadelphia and ALE
gheny, Pa, the county is liable under the
law for the damages sustained. In Mary
land, damages are recoverable from the
county, town or city within whose iulis-
diction the riot occurred. New jersey has
a similar statute. 1t has already been
announced that the PENNSYLVANIA Central
r. II. Co. will hold the County of Allegheny
responsible for the $1,000 900 to - 600,
600 of damages sustained by the compa
ny at Pittsburg. The people Of that city,
therefore, who stood by and allowed
whole trains of freight cars to be broken
open and plundered, may expect to be
compelled to make good those losses. as
well as those of the railway corporation
whose buildings and whose stock they
suffered to be destroyed. 1t would have
been much cheaper even as a simple ques-
ton Of immediate outlay to have pre-
served order and enforced the laws. And
it will be well for the tax payers OF other
States to take warning in time, and deter
mine to act differently from the people Of
Pittsburg in case of a similar emergency
