and Killing MANY People.
SALT LAKE CRY, January 1G.-Snow
has fallen almost continuously in the
Wasach mountains, about the heads OF
Little and Big Cottonwood rivers, since
Christmas. The mountains surrounds
ing the mining town of All are steep,
and the trees have been cut of. The
tranway sheds of the Wahsaichie and
GORDON Valley railroad have lleen swept
away IN several places for five miles be
low Alta rendering iugress or egrees al
most impossible. Two weeks ago n
snow slide carried away a man named
Darby.
The storm increased II fury with tho
opening of last week, aud on Wendnes-
day night the snow fell in sheets and
the wind became u hurricane. About
ten o'cloc a snow slide carried awav
the flagstaff, n house and four hum
bred feet of railroad sheds aud swept
across the fat creek to the opposite
mountain. Later another slide passed
over the Victoria and Imperial hotels,
burrying two men, who dug their way
out in ten hours.

A movement to put Bruce in tho cab>
met meets with great favor from the
Southern mon. In an interview to-day
Senator Lamar said: II believe the
selection of Senator Bruce for a cabi
net position would give as much salts
faction to Southern people as the seiec'
ton of any white white Republican III
the Southern States. Mr.. Bruce's CON-
dnct in the Sena.s has been such as mol
to ALLEVIATE him from the Southern peo-
pie. He has not joined in abusive
warfare upon the South which many OF
his colleagues in the Senate chamber
have constantly pursued. He is an in~
telligent man, and the best representa-
tive of his race in public life"

THERE is some ridiculous talk
now about the Democracy nomina-
ting Judge Simrall for Governor.
Nonsense. Remember Lowry, Stone,
Featberston, Richardson, Walthall,
and hundreds OF other true and tried
Democrats in this State. The sore
heads may nominate Judge Simrall,
as this paper suggested some weeks
ago-and the idea is going the
rounds of the press credited to an.
other paper-the Democrats will
never nominate him. If they do,
they ought to be defeated.

Thirteen mcn have plead guilty
to "clcction ecccntricity' before the
Federal Court at Oxford, and been

Referring to those cases the Falcon
says:
However innocent of any wrong do
ing. a man charged with election crook
edness may be. he finds, when he ar
rives here, that as a matter OF dollars
and cents, it is a good deal cheaper to
plead a0io ~cOnteRdrc, pay his bill and
leave, than to fight the case, even
though he be acquitted in the end"
WeNon't know whether the thir-
teen referred to, did rs suggested
in the above extract. We hope they
did not. It is bad enough to admit
election frauds when guilty ofthem,
but to plead guilty to an offcnse IL
order to save q few dollars is worse
than to have committed it. We
cannot believe Mississippi has any
such sons.

A fight between Dr. Hargett and the
Re-, Mr.. Mackey is eulivening Youngs-
town, Ohio. The Doctor Is a middle
aged medical practitioner of good stand
ing, the clergyman is young Metho-
dist pastor; both are bachelors, and
formerly they were intimate friends
The trouble began when Hargett sent
Mackey bill for doctoring. Mackey
refused to pay, and Hargett advertised
the debt for sale Thea Mackey
preached q sermon on Hargets, violently
assaihng his character, and charging
him with dyeing his hair, desiring a
young wife, and going to Cincinnati on
sprees. Hargett reta!iated by publish
ing an accusation that Mackey was a
hypocrite, being an intidel while preach
ing Christianity +; that he was visitor
ut sinful resorts IN disguise, and that he
habitually kissed those women in his
congregation who would let him. The
minister denies that he is skeptic III
any particular. and admits that he has
visited the wicked places as charged,
but only for the purpose of getting IN
formation for sermons against them.
As for the kissing, he says that it has
been confined to unmarried women,
whom he has perfect right to kiss,
if it is mutually agreeable.
