THE PARISH DEBT SETTLEMENT.

we publish DelOW lne PloPo9ieioAi'
and counter propositions Of the
special committee Of the Police Jury
and of the principal creditors, with
regard to an amicable adjustment OF
the back Indebtedness of the parish.
A great portion of that debt was
incurred during the profligate reign
of the carpet baggers and the other
would surely have been cancelled
long ago, had the Davis and the IN
derwoods applied the money levied
from the people to that and other
legitimate purposes.
The question that now stands be-
fore us is simply as to the ability OF
the parish to pay this debt OF Sloo,-
900? We are sure that every reason
able man will agree with us in an
swering that it cannot do it.
The prettiest woman in the world
can not give more than she possesses
The Parish of East Baton Rouge, IS
exactly in the same position.
What the Police Jury and the
creditors must agree to do, is to ar
rive at the exact amount of liabilities
that the Parish can bear and honor
without interfering with the support
of it's government.
There is no occasion for anybody
Ito grow red in the face about the
matter. If the creditors were to oo-
tain an agreement which could not
be carried out, they would be worse
off than ever.
We hope therefore that the parties
issue will meet the question IN
calm and business like manner, ano
we doubt not, that if the creditors
will but revise their propositions
abandon their claim for interest
and strike out some of the clauses
that will serve only in embarrassing
or preventing the ful6llment Of thu
contract, a just and practicable solu
ton of the matter will be arrived at
The earlier an arrangement is had
the sooner will the sums, which other
wise would be paid out for Attorney
fees in unending litigation, go toward
satisfying the claims OF the Judg
ment holders.

) On truck patch at Sixteenth and
Dickinson streetslivesa family named
Glen. They are rather in poor cir
cumstances. The husband works the
truck farm and sustains family con-
sisting OF wife and four children.
Recently the wife was notified that
her, father had died at Melbourne,
Australia, leaving 81, 100000 to her.
The story told by the Glen family is
this
Somewhere about thirty years ago
Jas. Boyle, bis wife and two children
were living upon farm in Lightna-
gallagh, County Donegal, Ireland.
Years of hard toll and struggling
with the impoverished soil had failed
to place the farmer in comfortable
position, and finally, when his lease
expired, he determined to seek his
fortune elsewhere. A home was
found for his children--the girl Mary,
| who was then but a babe, being
placed with her grandparents-and
Boyle and wife took passage for Vic
toria, Australia. On arriving at the
colony he obtained employment, and
by care and industry saved enough
| in q few years to buy farm. Pros
perity continued to attend him, and
eventually he became one OF the
most extensive farmers in the dis
tIict.
Meanwhile the baby daughter
whom he had left behind was grow
ing to years Of womanhood. From
time to time the mail brought words
of good cheer from her parents, but
the welcome missives ceased after
1870, the last enc stating that her
mother and sister, who was born in
the colony, had died, and that her
father had given up farming and was
investing heavily in gold mines near
Ballarat. In 1871 Miss Mary married
Glen, and Immediately afterward the
couple embarked for this country
They are now living with their chill
} dren on truck farm, in a three
story trick house at Sixteenth ant
Dickinson streets.
For nine long years Mrs. Glen hat
mourned her father as dead. Often
almost hoping against hope, sh'
wrote to his far-distant home, bu
none of the letters ELECTED a response
A few months ago, however, a lette
!, with the Irish postmark reached TIN
house, This proved to be from al
uncle, and contained the information
that her father had died leaving al
estate Of about 92S5,O0O, nearly 81,
100000; that her only brother hat
e also died in 1874, and that therefor
she (NIrs. Glen) was the sole surviv
ing legatee to her fathers wealth
This information seemed almost in
credible to the Glens, who could no
realize the possibility of being raise
from their present humble position t
one of luxry and affiuence. Letter
r were sent to the Australian lawyer;
$ the good news was confirmed, an
= within the last week Mrs. Glen ha
a received a letter from solicitors i
J, Melbourne asking for certificate
birth. This must be obtained fre1
Ireland, and the whole charge Of tn
n matter has been placed in the hand
: of Lawyer John Austin Percell, VIII

Board Of Trade-IrOn Company.

Agreeable to adjournment in
April the Central Board of Trade
met in the Council House at II
o'clock on Tuesday. There was a
full attendance of the representa-
tives from the counties, which gave
evidence of the Importance attached
to the deliberations of the body.
The board held two sessions, lasting
from IL am. until l o'clock pm,
and from 2.30 until pm. During
this time the subject most thor
oughly discussed was that of iron.
The deliberations were generally
participated in, and many of our
most prominent business and public
men, spoke favorably to the organ.
iZation of company for the manu-
facture of iron. 1.-THE result of the de-
alterations was the appointment of a
committee with full power and au-
thority to organize and incorporate
company, open books and receive
subscriptions for stock, and go
ahead with the matter as they
deemed best. This committee con-
sists of VIM. Jennings, chairman
Captain Hooper, John Sharp, of this
city; a. o. SmOOt, of Provo; H
Lunt, Of Cedar City; w. b. Preston,
of Logan and Thomas Taylor OF
this city. When the committee will
begin work is at present unknown
The other subjects that received
attention were silk and sugar,
though not so widely nor generally
discussed, nor at as great length as
iron.
When the board adjourned it was
until 10 o'clock on Thursday morn
in, when deliberations on the many
in nOrtant topics to come before the
meeting will be resumed.

The LeYee Break.

On Tuesday morning we stated
that the levee of the Jordan River
at the extreme southwestern part OF
the city had given way and cOnsid-
able damage was being done in con-
sequence. The word sent here was
that the dam had broken away, but
it was believed to have been the
levee. The fact is, however, that
the break occurred in the levee
along the bank of a canal which
runs by the farm of Hon. George Q.
Cannon. The break was caused by
the high waters resulting from the
recent rains, and the fact that the
gates of the dam, instead of being
opened, had been left closed. BY
the time assistance from this city
reached the scene of the break the
waterhad been gotten partially under
control, and was soon completely
confined within its proper channel.
a guard was maintained the re-
mainder Of the night, but no addi-
tional breaks occurred. The cool
weather of Tuesday will tend to
hold the heavy floods back, and no
further raise need be expected at
present, unless the weather should
suddenly turn exceedingly warm, or
there should be another heavy rain
storm.

The Creation"

This evening the Philharmonic
Society, under the direction of Prof.
7. Radcliffe, will repeat Haydn's
masterpiece, the oratorio of "Crea-
tion." The repetition thus to be
given is the result of an extensively
signed request which was published
in the HERALD some days ago.
The evening on which "The Crea-
ton" was given last week was a very
wet one, notwithstanding which
there was a very fair attendance.
1t is safe to say, however, that if
those who were present at this last
and greatest effort of the Philhar-
monte Society were disappointed
it was so much better than they an
ticipated. The sale of tickets has
already been quite heavy, which in,
dicates the public pulse, and shows
a strong desire on the part of the
many TO take advantage of the op
portunity now afforded them tC
hear this choice production. The
solos will be in the same hands as
before.
The box office will be open this
morning for the sale of reserved
seats. for which no extra charge
will be asked.

Telephone at Fire Department.

Agreeable to the decision of the
City Council a week or so ago, a
telephone has been placed in the fire
department and the City Hall. Chief
Engineer Ottinger tested it on Mon
day, calling up a number of persons
in different parts of the city, and
telling them to call up the fire de-
partment in case of fire in their own
dwellings, and to send notice of fire
in the vicinity. OF all places in the
world where telephone should be
put, the fire department is that place,
and it is only to be regretted that
the Council did not see fit to have
another placed in the Twelfth Ward
engine house. That it would be use
full there can be no doubt, and that
it will be the means of saving prop
erty there can be no doubt. In view
of the fact that an Instrument in
the Twelfth Ward might be the
means of saving hundreds and thou
sands of dollars in case of a fire, it
does not seem wisdom to endeavOr
to save the trifling sum of S. per
month-at least in such a direction.
1t might be years before it was
needed, and it may not be a day be-
fore a vast deal of property will be
destroyed through a failure to have
it.
The City Hall also had an
instrument put in, where persons
in need of an officer have but to
call. Nine places in all were con-
nected with the exchange on Mon
day, the others, in addition to those
mentioned, being H. b. Clawson,
w. L. Price, Geo. Careless, Holder
81 Co., Louis iStein, the butcher,
Little & ROundy, and Heesch &
Ellerbeck. The vicinity of this
Office is getting to be perfect net
work of wires.

The Empire Mill.

Regarding the Empire Mill which
was burned down on Saturday morn
ing last, involving loss of $4,000
lon which there was insurance
amounting to about $4,000, Mr.
| VanPraag states that he has re
Iceived instructions from Mr.. Crow
ell, president of the company, of
New York, to go ahead Immediately
with the work Of rebuilding the
burned works, and that the stock
holders were also anxious that no
time be lost. MIR. VanPraag says
that these instructions will be COM
piled with as soon as the insurance
has been adjusted. The first thing
done will be to erect a gallows and
place new engines and new boilers
in pOSitiOn,it being feared that those
used at the time of the ire, are dam
aged beyond the possibility of re-
pair, though the matter has not vet
been definitely settled. The work
of draining the mine will be COM
menced within twenty days, and it
is reasonably believed that in forty
to forty-fiVe days from the present
time the mine will have been thor
'oughly drained and the work of ex-
tracing ore and prospecting be re-
sumed. Efforts are already being
made to set new boilers at the earliest
possible moment. Mr.. VanPraag
expresses himself as more than anX-
ious that the stockholders shall I'M
derstand that the determination is
to resume work at once. and that
they be wary of any stock jobs.
When the gallows have been
erected and the arrangements for
and taking out ore are
completed, then the work of re-
building the mill will be COM
menced, there being no particular
haste for it during the present
months. However, no time is to be
lost in replacingl all the destroyed
property at the earliest possible
moment

right and wrong. It had never been
that the majority of mankind had
accepted the truth. Truth had ever
been unpopular. Christ and Paul
had said that those who lived in
Christ Jesus should suffer persecu-
ton, and it had been fulfilled as
they had told, many suffering
persecution unto death. There
had always been joy and
peace in the hearts of those
who were prosecuted for the truth,
that had sustained them in their
affections. Mankind looked for
truth to come in some other form
than that in which it had come; but
God chose his own way and his own
instruments to perform his work.
The Lord had promised that the
gospel should be preached to all
people before the end would come.
He saw that there would be a
falling away, and the gospel
would no longer be found upon
the earth, and John also knew
this when he told of the angel
flying through the heavens, bearing
the gospel to the earth once more.
All the prosecutions that had fol-
lowed the church in ancient days
had been suffered by the Latter-day
Saints in this generation and for the
same reasons. But amid all their
Affections they knew from God that
this work would triumph and gather
every honest soul. This feeling
never deserted the saints, but made |
them cheerful and confident under
dreary circumstances. The saints
religion was not a Sunday religion,
which was put off on Monday morn
ing, to be donned again the next |
Sabbath. Their religion should
guide them at all times. One thing
they should be particular about, and
that was not to speak evil of
each other. If they cannot say
good things, they should hold
heir tongues. If one knows Of the
weaknesses of another he ought to
20 to that other and talk to him, but
lot to the neighbOrs. The people
hould dwell together in peace and
nifty, and preserve cheerfulness of
leart and cOuntenance. They should
lot partake of the sacrament while !
here is evil in their hearts. If in
ividuals cannot arrange their dis l
greements between themselves,
hey should call in some wise
nan who might be able to I
o so. They might always expect :
and persecution, for they {
you'd be certain to have them. If T
his is the church of Christ it would !
e prosecuted. The adversary would
OF be content otherwise. The s
enial of any precept would I
OF stop persecution. Until the
dversary was bound persecution $
rOuld not cease. 1t might cost the .
ANTS their good name, their prop J
rty, their lives even, but all of them l
ere as nothing to the eternal life I
.hich they would gain if they were Il
lithful. No matter what the con-
uence, they should follow the path
Ointed out by God.

Wyoming and Utah and U. P
Railroads.

MEADowYHLE, May 16, 1881.
Editors Herald:
I see by your paper of the 18th an
article on the Wyoming and Utah
Railroad. 1t is true that there is a
road coming. Messrs. j. U. Elbridge
and J. S. Moffat, both of Meadow
vile, have taken a contract for
building nine miles of grade in Twin
Creeks, Uinta County, Wyoming
Territory, and they have a number
of men and teams on the ground:
but the Union Pacific had taken pos
session and put all their force on the
ground on the 10th, and nearly fin
ished four miles of their grade.
There is a prospect of lively times
on the above road. The Union Pa
cific does not need to think that it
can bluff the Utah and Wyoming,
for that they cannot do.
Respectfully,
SUBSCRIBER.
