Salt Lake City, April IA decis-
ion i'll the famous Ann Eliza against
Brigham Young was rendered to-day
by Judge Schatter. The decision says
that Brigham Young was lawfully
married AT Kirkland, Ohio, to Mary
Ann Angelin in 1854, who was still
living at the time of his marriage with
Ann Eliza. The decision concludes
that the plaintiff is not entitled to II
decree of divorce; that the alleged
marriage was and is polygamOus and
therefore null and void; that during
the time plaintiff was with defendant
as his polygamous wife she was serv-
ing as ii menial servant and would be
entitled to reasonable compensation
therefor.

Spectators have taken advantage
of war rumors to force breadstuffS up
to Il high figure. On Saturday wheat
jumped up to S2,05 per bushel at
Toledo. At Erie the relative price is
about 1918, and the Dispatch says the
indications are that it may go still
higher. On Saturday the price of
flour in Williamsport was advanced to
Sll per barrel, and dealers expect a
still further advance. While bread
stufis and provisions are tending up
ward, efforts are made in all Girec-
tions to reduce the price OF labor.
With such u condition of things the
prospects for. the poor is anything but
encouraging. With flour at $ll per
barrel and labor reduced to 81 per day
the struggle for existence becomes q
serious one.

put, that is of no little import. it is in
the shape Of non-heat>conducting
cover for steam boilers, and is described
thus ut is the cortical part of the
seed with the little fu22 attached that is
used, A layer OF these cotton seed
hulls is put around the boiler with the
aid OF Stats, and then the whole is
covered with a layer of plasrering. With
twenty-five pounds OF steam on, the
surface of this casing was barely warm
and we are assured that both in the
engine and iire-rooms the temperature
had been greatly reduced so as to be-
much less oppressive, since the casing
was put on, This seems to be some,
thing entirely new, and though in the
present instance it is highly satislac.
