SALT LAKE CITY, Jan. k--Snow has
fallen almost continuously in Wabsatch
Mountains since Christmas. The noun
tains surrd unding Ito minAs town Of
Altar are steep anu tho trees have been
cut of. The tramway sheds of the
Wahsatchie and Jordan Valley Rail.
road have been swept away in several
places for FIVE miles below Altar, render
ing ingress or egress almost impossible.
Two weeks ago snow slide carried
away man named Darby. Tho storm
| increased in fury with tho opening of
last week. On Wednesday night snow
fell in sheets and the wind became a
hurricane. About ten o'clock a snow
slide carried away the flagstaff, one
house and four hundred feet of railroad
] sheds, and swept across the flat and
creek to the opposite mountain. Later
another slide passed over the Victoria
and Imperial houses, burying two men,
who dug their way out in ten hours !;
continuing, it swept away the Grizzly
boarding house, in which were Mrs.
Jonathan Haskins and four children,
Charles Simons, Robert Howarth and
Evan Morris; of these Mrs. Haskins
and her daughter Jane, Howarth and
Morris were killed. Another slide
smashed and buried the Toledo works
and clearinghouse, killing Chas. Bur
bridge and Frank Laporte.
On Thursday and Friday work was
stopped at the principal mines and many
Of the men left the canon for the valley.
The storm continued and increased in
fury, the wind blowing a gale and piling
the snow just over the crest of the hill
north Of Altar, on the Altar side. The
great weight started another slide, half
a mile wide, on Friday night, which
would have completed the demolishing
of Altar, but that was split and par
TALLY diverted by fat area just above
the head Of the main street. 1t struck
large and heavily built store, in which
five men had gathered for safety. Two
of them, who were sleeping in the sec
ond story, were thrown ont, but were
comparatively unhurt Three had taken
refuge in the basement and bnilt fire,
namely, John Fitzgerald, P. B. Lee and
VIM. Hollingshead. The house was
crushed in on them and fred from the
stove, and they persisted.

Richmond Williams and John Wash.
ington, who remained to look after
Joab Lawrence's property, with instfuc-
tions to sleep In the tunnel, are missing.
The avalanche swept away every build
ing owned by Josh Lawrencc's & Co.,
together with their tramway, intlicting
loss Of $50, 900. II buried the Buffalo
House, but three men had returned into
tho tunnel and were rescued exhausted.
Fifty persons came down last night,
leaving about twenty, who, for various
reasons, could not get away. Tho trip
down was fearful. Leaving their homes
with nothing but their clothes on their
backs, the women wallowed through
the snow as best they could, the men
carrying the children.
There remains enough mountain slope
still unmoved to complete the destru G.
ton Of the town. 1t may slide any mo-
ment. Eight miles Of the Upper Big
Cottonwood Is said to be one Of hugo
slide, covering everything. A big slide
in MayAeld Gulch has blocked the
creek for 400 yards and made quite q
lake. While there il no los. Of life yet
reported from Big Cottonwood, miners
are leaving the cannon as fast a. posi-
bic, and when the snow becomes deep
and heavy on the steep mountain slopes
an avalanche may be started by party
walking across their face or conclusion.
Sometimes blast for underground will
do'it.

land what fascinating little apron II
was, oil covered with rufiles and pufiies
and flummcry, as his untutored mascu
line tongue would have described 1t.
It must be that very apron that va.
playing tho mischief with him, for h
had never been 70 fascinated by any CIR
before. Suddenly wild desire to pos
sess the irresistible bit Of property came
over him. Would she sell II for sweet
charity's sake.
Then the cruelty Of securing II, and
leaving her to the mortiAcation Of expo
sing the rusty merino unprotected by III
friendly shelter, rushed over him, and
hc took Bob into d short consultation
which resulted in Oh interview with the
majestic FIRST directress, who was prom.
enading tho hall with the bland manner
Of a shop walker, or Of one who mali.
ciously holds levee, but keeps an eye
on the guests that they escape not with
the spoons.
The suave lady, little guessing fol
whom it was destined, assisted him to
select from one Of tho tables On apron oil
for more elegant character than the one
he coveted; and he, with Bobby's assis.
lance, began to negotiate an exchange
of aprons, with ten dollars to boot, TO be
added TO the fair receists
TIME flushed up at tho offer, but the
bystanders urged her to accept it, and
oven the clergyman whispered his up
proval.
She couldn't go to church without the
ribbon she had plucked from her hat to
adorn tho apron, was the hesitating con.
fession she whispered back; which wills.
per being overheard by Bob, he speedily
communicated to his new friend, who
surprised him by being too stingy to sur.
render the ribbons, but begged to be al-
lowed to add to the exchange whole
belt Of bonnet ribbon, to be procured in
the morning, when the sun and the vii
lagc mlliner made tho usual simulta-
neous arising.
TIME, who had not courage to resist
80 much opposing force, made the ex-
change and entirely overthrow the COM
modores theory that the apron did it,
by appearing even more dazzling and
radiant, in the new one; but he was
satisfied with his bargain.
The list was full now, and such u
merry excitement attended the drawing
that all I p other parts Of the hall were
deserted while the crowd flocked around
to look and listen. One Of the yatcht
company drew the winning number,
and with some dismay found himself
the owner of the album but with great
presence of mind he presented 1t to the
rector, who, with just one momentary
glance Of waggishness IN his blessed
face, begged to be allowed to give it to
his esteemed friend, the first directress,
who was obliged to hire man to carry
her white elephant home.
! There was another fair in Otfport the
next year, and the album was again
put up to be ratified for but the chances
were not registered by TIME, for she was
off on her bridal trip with her most de-
voted husband, the gay young commo-
dore, who, having neither mother nor
sisters to point out the immense social
disgrace Of marrying the daughter Of a
"a washer-womaAl, had followed his own
sweet win in bis choice Of wife, and
;nado eieohan that made lin TIL
envy q all his friesds

FRlOAY. APRIL "a. 1874.
STONE PAYMENTS are greatly d.

STONE PAYMENTS are greatly de-
sired on Market street, where there
IL great deal of walking. Between
Fourth and Eighth streets, brick pave.
ments do not last on an average now
more than eight or nine years. An
other objection to brick is that they
wear into holes and have tendency
to injure the feet and make them ten.
der, and tender feet still more so,
causing corns, and making corns
worse. The flag is fiat and does not
twist the foot. Its objection is its
cost. The tagging of pavement II
by 30 feet will cost about SEQ; the
cost of brick would be about S22. So
that supposing the brick pavement to
wear only six years, the interest Oh
the money in the difference of the
cost would renew the brick; making
it the cheaper pavement. But it will
have to give way in time notwith
standing. just as it gives way for
stone houses and as frame gave way
to brick. Wilmington advances much
mole rapidly in all such matters than
her great neighbor cities did. When
Philadelphia had three humid ed thous
and inhabitants there was not hotel
there equal to the Clayton House, and
an edifioe OF out stone was SCARCELY to
be found, unless it was church ; ana
stone pavements were just as raIe.
Ii dag stone could be Quarried and
handled cheaper it would be very
largely used since it is very much bet
ter in every respect than brick or any
Of the numerous substitutes that have
been tried. AT one time 1t was thought
that slate would answer but on rial
it was found not to wear as we'll as
brick.

SENATOR DAWES OUTRAGE turns

SENATOR DAWES OUTRAGE turns
out TO be false. It is like all the rest
Of the political clap-trap stories gotten
up by r publican Congressman to help
their party to hold power. Judge
Bridger, of the Fourth Judicial Dis
trict of Louisiana, makes a statement,
which is published in the New Orleans
Democrat to day. This statement is
received by telegraph. He says that
Charles Heath owns no property in
Caldwell parish, and never has owned
any. His brother, Edward Heath,
owns plantation in that parish, sit
uated ten miles below Columb ia.
Judge Bridger says:
l have conversed with an eyewitness
of the burning of the Heath gin and
the circums ances attending il, and am
fully convinced that the properly was
burned to get the insurance money.
Tho foreman Of the jury informed me
that, whilst they Gould not get sufficient
evidence TO authorize them to tiud a
bill, yet he was fully persuaded and
convinced in his own mind that the
property was burned to obtain The in,
suraaee money. This Is the genera
opinion of those in tue parish who az
acquainted with the facts. Indeed.

IRE, with the view Of collecting the in

1000 acres, valued ut, including build

$50 acres, valued at, including build

value of the merchandise or stock i

the Sheriff and others VINO are familia

THE MALONE COALITION.
From Tue New York sun.

From the New York SUI.
What DO We see in the Senator A
corrupt bargain is made with Malone,
according 20 the terms OF which the Re-
publicans get the organ zation of thai
body,and he is to &c large share of the
spoils to be used in connection with
other patronage in the coming election
in Wig MA. The President has publicly
proclaimed his sympathy with Malone,
and emphasized IL by appointing two ot
his friends 10 offices IN Virginia.
Malone was elected to the Senate dis
,inctly aud exclusively upon an issue
raised by himself to repndiate more than
a lhnd of the debt of Virginia. TIE
| bill for that Object was introduced and
| carried through the Legislature by
/ RlddieSerger, the nominee of the Re
| publican caucus for Sorgeant-at-Arms of
the Senate. This bill would be the law
TO day but for the veto of the democratic
Governor, Halliday.
This attemp, at reputation was made
more outrageous because the creditors of
the Stale aud the auth rites had agreed
| upon a sctt Element unter what is known
as the McCulloch bill, by which the
whole debt was TO be paid in term Of
years, with graduated Interest, at 3. 4,
aud per cert. Malone aud his faction,
who sought TO get control OF the State,
aud by that means to possess themselves
of the mastery of the railroad system,
started the ReadjusJer party to break
I down that honest settlement of an hon.
est debt.
There was no other question In the
compaIgn of 1879. Mahone made a com.
biDatloD with The negroes, with ignorant
and reckless Democrats, with rotten Re
DubhcaDs, aud with all the loose eIe
ments OF society, TO repudiate the deb

That they have maze special inquiry
