The experience of railroads has
demonstrated that it takes 90 per
cent of the earnings of a road to
operate it, and deducting that
amount, there is left 24o. 900 dol
lars, to pay the annual interest on
the cost Of the road, and to be ap-
piled to the extinguishment of the
principal. Certainly there is no
great hazard in investing in an en-
terprise of this character, and
through such country as ours,
when millions of capital are annu-
ally expended in constructing rail-
roads through barren canons in the
far west, and over unsettled and
uninhabited prairies in cold, inhos-
pitable climates.
In brief, fellow voters, the argu-
ments in favor Of this county vot-

say that, by the terms Of the order
all Of the money subscribed will be
expended in our county, and we

The Utah Commission, under date oI

the Secretary OF the Interior, detailing
the results of their laborS In Utah Terri,
tory. They recommend that Congress
should enact a law declaring all
future marriages in Utah null and void
unless contracted and evidenced in the
manner provided by the act. Certain
places should be designa ed for all MAJ
riages, which should be Witnessed by
certain persons, and registered in spa
cihc public ot1ices, 30 as to make the
proof of marriage morally certain. The
parties and witnesses should be requi'
red to make their aftidavits against
polygamy. Ano her suggestion Is, that
marriages be solemnized in private, but
with like guarantees of registration,
affidavits, witnesses, etc. In either
case, appropriate penalties should be
provided for violation Of the act" The
Commission also recommend the repeal
of the Women Suffrage law in Utah
They say, in conclusion, "If the next

CRONEY AKMAIGNED.
He Pleads nOI GHiIty-The Motion
for q Continuance OF The Case.

At the opening of Court this morning
John Croney was brought in for the
purpose Of being arraigned. Mr..
Whiteley objected to his arraignment,
until time was set for his trial.
States Attorney Gray said that this
morning was the time that had been
fixed for his arraignment, and he could
! not see any good reason why it should
| be postponed.
! After argument between counsel
lasting over half an hour, the Court de-
cided that he should be arraigued
The clerk read the indictment which
charges him with murder in the first
degree and at It's close in answer to the
usual question, the prisoner answered
in a clear tone Of voice not guilty.
Mr.. Bird read an affidavit of an i'm
portant witness which stated that he
could not be present until the May
term, 10 which time he asked that the
trial be postponed.
He was followed by William G..
Whit9ley, Esq, who also urged that
the case should be continued.
MIR. Gray was willing to allow the
case to 90 over until the February term,
but thought it was asking too much 10
have it postponed until the May term,
when the Court will again be called
upon to try a number OF civil cases.
The Chief Justice said that he thought
that where crime of this magnitude
had been committed the punishment
should be swift and sure. "But your
honor don't want to erect the gallows,
until the man is found guilty do you, "
said Mr.. Bird. The Chief Justice re-
piled that he did not, but he did not
want this case continued too long.
He said he would rendl the decision
of the Court in day or 80. The whole
argument occupied about one hour, and
at its close Croney was removed to the
cells.

ACCIDENrTOATUG BOAT.
Am Intoxicated EugIRoer Sleep
While on DuIy and Causes Bad
Accident,


Yesterday morning, the captain Of
the tug boat "Deo Volente," OF the Ma
tional Dredging Company, received or,
ders IN proceed at once to Baltimore
where the company are engaged in
dredging. The tug started off all right
and proceeded on her course. To reach
Baltimore, they took the shortest route,
going by way of the Delaware and
Chesapeake Canal. The canal was en-.
tered in safety, but before the boat
reached the bridge at Chesapeake City,
the engineer vacated his post and went
TO sleep, having been indulging in too
much Of the ardent spirit. The captain
seeing that the draw was not turned
OFT, gave the signal to stop the engines,
but no attention was paid to the signal
when 1t was repeated several times
without being noticed. The fireman,
who was down In the hole, hearing the
repeated signals thought that some
thing was wrong, came up in the en-
gine room and reversed the engine, but
not before the tug had collided with the
bridge, tearing the pilot house from the
boat and injuring the steering appara-
tus considerably. The tug was finally
stopped and the broken wheel patched
up in order that she could return to this
city for repairs. Arriving here the
boat was taken to the Jackson & Sharp
Company where workmen Immediately
commenced the work of repairing in
order to finish the boat as soon as posi-
bic. Learning of the condition OF the
engineer, the Company at once dis.
charged him from their service and will
employ another man.
