Cotton Crop Injured by the Cold ~ran,

tHAKLFsTON, ;. c, November 2-Tho NplrS and
tohttef Says:-"Irustworthy accounts from all
sections OF the state concur as 10 the blightlny
eject OF the hard freeze OF last Friday morning In
The cotton fields. The unusual and protracted ntld
weather or the last six W. eks had allowed a new
and vigorous growth, encouraging many planters
TO nope mat with fortnight more OF moderate
weather. a top crop might be secured, which
would In some measure make up for the serious
loss occasioned by the dr0uth of last summer: but
the sudden change In temperature on Friday has
put an end TO these sdnguine anticipations. Even
on The Sea Islands, where the cold WAS least
severe, the young bells all present a scaded au-
pedrance, ana the Vitality of the plant has entirely
ceased In the interior OF the state likewise the
promising top crop has everywhere been killed As
the frost seems 10 have been general throughout
the cotton region, il is hardly likely that there

The Speakership Contest.


The Speakership canvass still continues to be
muddled The order OF strength of the Ca andidates
seems to be as follows: Kasson, Hiscock Keifer.
Orth, Dunnell and the field Mr.. Kasson claims
over fifty votes on the first ballot; Mr. Hfscock
like number; Gen. Keifer claims even more It
would not be surprising If by the end OF the week
the leading candidates will have killed OF one
another and a new man come to the front An
effort was made to induce Representative McKin-
ley of Ohio to enter the list OF candidates. but
would not listen to it.
Up to the present writing there are but seventy
three members OF the next House in the city. or
this number one-half are uncOmmitted The rule
with them is to drop In on all the candidates so as
to be In the good graces OF all, and then quietly
as to land on the winning side For This reason it
Is very doubtful If any single candidate has actu-
ally thirty votes which he can claim to stand by
him through prOtracted DallOting.
Take the current OF opinion around the hotels
and it would appear that Mr.. KaSson held the
fact that he has some very. active lieutenants
enlisted in his behalt-twO OF 1owa's ex-governors
and ex-Congressman Sapp. Gen. keifer VIII be
reinforced with lieutenant tonight In the person
OF Gen. Charles Grosvenor, a very sagacious Ohio
politician. The friends OF Mr.. KaSsOn feel hope
iul because OF the candidacy OF Mr.. Reed, which,
1t is thought, Will divide the New England vote
between Reed and HiscOck and thus weaken the
latter: The New York delegation, it is learned,
intend TO support Hiscock unanimously until the
end. This gives him the largest vote in any
single state delegation.
There are those who think that when the break
up comes dark horse In the person OF Mr.. Dun
nell, OF Minnesota, will be the winner.
For the other elective offices OF the House the
fight Is tame. Ex-Representative Rainey is active
in his canvass for the CieTkship but the weight OF
opinion is that Mr.. Mcpherson, the Old clerk. will
receive the caucus nomination. or course the
matter or the selections for the subordinate Offi
GERS OF the House will depend very much on how
the Speakershp contest is settled.
In view OF the possibility OF long session of the
caucus many members will endeavOr to have the
caucus called to meet next Friday night instead OF
Saturday.
The outlook is that all the old oficers OF the
House will be complimented with the democratic
caucus nominations for the othces they now re-
spectiyely hold.

Richard Mareafts Dead.

At $50 o'clock yesterday evening
Mr.. Richard Margetts breathed his
last at his residence in the Nine
teenth Ward. Mr.. Margetts has
been seriously i'll for a long time,
having been sick continuously for
four months, and during part of that
time his life has been despaired of.
While no definite hope of his recov-
cry has been entertained for some
time, there have been intervals
when the symptoms would be more
favorable and give some hope that
he would grow better. For couple
of weeks past, however, these lndl-
cations have been few, until, at the
hour stated, his long continued ill
ness drew to a close, and death re-
lieved him from further suffering.
The funeral has been set for 10
o'clock on Thursday morning,
friends of the family being invited
to attend.
Mr.. Margetts was a person very
widely known and as widely es-
teemed. He was born at Wood
stock, Oxfordshire, England, Febru-
airy 1. 1928, which would make him
So years and l month old. He has
been here a great manyEyears, and
has always been a prominent bust
ness man. He has taken part in in
Producing several useful enterprises,
and has earned a deserved reputa-
ton for being a man of good BUSH
ness capacity, sterling integrity,
public spirited and kind and gener-
Gus. He leaves a large family and
friends to mourn his de-
mise.

New Papers.

The first edition of the Ogden
Pilot came out on the 1st instant.
1t is a neat little paper, well filed
with interesting matter. Though
smaller than the Junction, its type
is also smaller and it contains nearly
as much matter. The display of
advertisement is healthy, and if
continued will ensure success. The
editor, In the salutatory, spills him
self over the considerable portion of
a column in taking about what he
proposes to do; but then wind is
cheap.
The next is the Southern UtOnian,
published at Beaver. 1t is a good
sized sheet and will appear every
week. There is a good quantity of
matter and the paper is the best in
appearance that has yet been turned
out of Beaver.

the veteran actor, and the company
he has selected, viii present the

who know Mr.. Mckenzie are as
sured that all he can do to make a
success of the performance will be
done. The music, not only the or

Locke, incidental to the piece itself,
promises to be a prominent attrac-
ton. A full house can confidently
be anticipated.

Nnn-Snitad.

In the District Court, on Tuesday
the plaintiff in the case of S. Levy
cs. Salt Lake City was thrown out
of court ON a non-suit. The suit
was brought, as previously stated
for $4,000, for damages alleged to
have been sustained by the plaintiff
owing to tobacco in his cellar, near
North Temple street, being injured
from the overflow of water. When
the plaintiff rested its case, the mo
ton for non-suit was made by a.
Miner, Esq, city attorney, on the
ground that it did not appear that
the city was in any way responsible
for the damage. Mr.. Miner held that
it was the duty of the city to pro-
vide bitches to carry the water
through the street and see that these
were kept free; but after that-after
water had been taken from these
general cOnduits for private pur-
poses, and into private grounds, the
city no longer had control; and as
the damage done the plaintiff was,
by the testimony of his own wit
neSses, sustained alter the water
had been taken from the general
ditch, of course, the city could not
be held responsible. The matter
was argued until u o'clock, when
recess was taken, and at 2 o'clock
Judge Hunter sustained the motion
for a non-suit, and the case was dis
The plaintiff took an excep-
ton to the ruling.
