two months ago robbed the express office at

at Oil City, after most desperate street fight,

Mormon Leaders
SALT LAKE, Sept. 2S.-Gov Murray, in obe-
dience to the law of Congress providing for ap-
poiDtmefts to fill vacancies occasioned bv a
failure to hold an election in August, has ap-
pointed a number of officials throughout Utah
In defiance of this law and the Edmunds BILL
(Which disqualifies polygamists) the appointees
OF the governor have been refused by Mormon
ofiee-holders the records and places to which
they hayo been appointed. This organized
notification is in disobedience to the orders of
the Mormon leaders. Those who think it
criminal to hold over are whipped in by the
council and threats, and polygamists are hold
ing on, Congress to the contrary. Writs of
mandamus were applied for yesterday, to en-
force the title of he officials appointed. The
action of Gov. Murray in firmly executing the
law in the face of the Mormon leaders is ap-
proved by all law-abiding people.

OF Zen. Sherman, to-day, as Acting Secretary

man Is the Democratic candidate for Governor
OF OaliIornia. He is largely engaged in agri-
Cann cnltural enterprises, and has an income of
SoOVu 10 $4,000 year. He can, therefore,
afford to relinquish the $33OO which he re-
ceives as retired colonel. But such an act is
almost unprecedented. Gen. Stoneman grad
nated irom the military academy in 1856, and
I mas oeen an officer of the army continuously to
the present time. At the outbreak of the war
ne was major in the LIST cavalry. He became
a aoor encouragement of volunteers in August,

cessible to Lieut.. Greeley, some of it having
been left over by previous expedition. He
thinks there is no doubt but that the ice will
be open next year, but, if it is not a sledge

information that they have received, in re-
sponse to advertisements, bids for constructing
the levees contemplated on the Mississippi
river commissions plan Some of these bids

the low prices proposed and 80 readvertise the
