PRIMARY ELECTIONS.
The City Trustees Decide That
They Are Not Legal.

They Are Not Legal.
There was considerable excite
ment in the city yesterday when tn
fact became known that the bill
for tbs clerks. judges, etc., VIII
served at the primary election wer
not allowed, the City Trustee ho'd
ing that they had not ordered thu
primary aad that it was not lega
election.
This makes 4 test case of Brum.
sey's election law passed at the last
session of the Legislature. Its
provisions make primary election
legal. Section 1 reads as follows :
SECTION /. Any Committee or
body authorized by the rules or
customs of a political association,
organization or party to call cleo
tons of or, for such association.
organization or party, in calling
such election, shall, at the time of
making the call. adopt a resolution
which shall set forth:
First-That a primary election
will be held. giving the time when,
and the place or places where such
election will be held, and the hours
between which The polls shall be
kept open.
Second-The names OF the per.
sons to constitute the Election
Board at each polling place. If
the persons named by the Com 4
mittee be not present or decline to
serve, then such officers shall be
appointed as provided by the cleo
ton law of this State
The City Central Committee ap-
pointed the primary and this cody
certainly comes under the head Of
ANY committee or body author
lied by the rules or customs of a !
political association The persons
who served were the appointees of
the Committee and viii insist upon
their pay. If the primary election
was null and void, it is held that
the general election was and that
three of the members of the pres
snt Board are not legally elected.
The case is an interesting one and
vii probably be tested in the
courts.

A SAD ACCIDENT.
Crushed to Death Beneath a
Wagon Load of Logs.

A painfully sad accident occurred
near White Sulphur Springs last
week, the particulars of which we
gather from the Husbundmdn. Hora-
ito Alden who was engaged in inn
proving a ranch about two miles
from town, on Friday morning
started as usual to the timber for q
load OF logs. Not returning at night
a search was instituted, and his body
was found at the foot of a precipituous
road, beneath the load of logs,
and crushed almost beyond recogni-
tion. It was ascertained that he left
the timber about 2 p. m, aud circum-
stances indicated that in descending
the hill, the brake lever broke and
the team was hurled down the grade
at q fearful speed. Striking an OBJ
struction at the bottom Of the grade
the front wheel and axle were broken,
np>etting the load on top of the un-
f,rtunate driver. probably killing
him Instantly. He had been sea-
faring man for many years, and was
the sole dependence of an aged
mother, at whose solicitation he had
left the sea and recently settled on the
ranch to build up q home, which
would be refuge for her in her de-
clining wears.

Railroad Collision.

M1NNEA e0L1s, ept.28.-A Tr'bu'ae's
Fargo S, ecial says: About 3: 80 o'clock
this morning the east bound passen-
ger train on the Northern Pacific, five
miles east of Valley City, came in
collision with an engine which had
been helping freight up hill. and
was returning; both were running at
full eed and both were badly wreck
ed, the passenger engine being thrown
from the track, followed by the ten
der and baggage car. The engi-
neer Of the passenger was
badly injured and his fireman, Thom-
as Collins. eau hit between the boiler
and tender and wedged so tightly
that it required four hours to release
him, during which time he was liter
ally roasted alive. Death did not ell
sue until he Was released and while
he was being taken to Valley City.
The passengers were shaken up, but
none seriously injured. Blame attach
es to the engineer Of the lone engine,
as he knew the passenger train was
late and had the right Of way. The
engineer and fireman of the lone en-
gine jumped and escaped with few
bruises.

New York Copper Market.

The Engineering and Mining Jour-
nal of September 22l says: We seem
to be fairly entering the usual period
of prolonged negotiations between
the mines and manufacturers. The
former profess to believe 16c. they
figure which the situation will war;
rant, while the latter insist that the
will not pay more than 15c. This
maneuvering will probably continue
for some time. First hands are not
selling, while consumme1s are buying
only to cover immediate wants, and
there is SO little Lake in the market
that what little is obtainable and IS
wanted brings slightly higher prices,
154c. being asked. The Lake mines
are certainly in a much BETTE: posi-
ton this year than they have been,
in that there Is no heavy pressure
of outside copper. Consumption is
fair, though it will not quite reach
last years total. Good authorities
place it between seventy and seventy
two millions. In sympathy with
Lake, other brands are tirmer, the
best kinds being held at 14a. We

Commissioner Paddock and Mayor
Jennings of Salt Lake do not seem to
agree upon the value of the Ed
munds' law as a suppressor of polyg-
amy. While the former is enthusi-
astic over the ultimate effect of the
measure, the latter declares it has ex-
hausted its force and has accom-
plished little or nothing. At this
distance appearances seem to support
the opinion of the mayor. What
ever hopes or expectations the law
raised in the Gentle breast were
dashed to the ground at the
late election in Utah. Although
practical polygamists were disfran-
chised, and their number was COM
paratively insignificant, the rank
and file of the church carried every
thing before them and elected men
of their own faith. And the outlook
is not cheering. The silver lining of
the dark cloud which has SO long
Utah is not brought
in view by the operation of the Ed
munds law. The law does not reach
the heart of the evil at which it was

cries directed at tho King being con-
tinually raised.

The second calling in of Govern
ment bonds for the present fiscal
year is of peculiar interest because it
reaches class of bonds hitherto un-
touched. The one hundred and
twenty-frst call exhausted all the
"Windoms," or 81 per cent. bonds,
and the new call will apply to the 3
per cent. bonds. AS this call, if
made now. will mature in December,
ald as it is hardly possible that an
other will follow so speedily as to
mature before January, there will
have been about $4,000, 600 of the
surplus revenue applied to the debt
during the six months of this year.
If this rate was to be maintained it
would make 1914, 900, 900 of debt rec
deemed in a year and all the bonds

celed in a little more than three

ernment goes into the market and

CHICAGO. Sept. 29.-The appoint
ment of John G.. Gault, late vice
president Of tine Wabash, and form
erly general superintendent of the
Chicago, Milwaukee & st. Paul rail-
roads, as commissioner of the new
California pool gives general satisfac-
tion in railroad circles here. Gaul !,
who is now in the city, says he will
accept the position provided he will
not lave to move his headquarters
to San Francisco, the members of hi
family ohjecting to that city on &C
count of the climate which does not
agree with them. He would prefer
to make his headquarters in this
city, believing this to be the most
central point from which to direct
the new pool, which compris. all
the Pacific lines including the Sunset
route from New Orleans and the
Northern Pacific from St. Paul. 1t
is quite probable the managers of the
roads in New York will consent tn
the location of the comm 'ssionels

certainly as an unobjectiOnable point
as could he selected.

siale to ascertain the amount of booty
the gang obtained. The robbery
created the most intense excitement
in Kansas City: where 1T was thought
that with the breaking up Of the

West would be forever ended. Coo

Report of Commander Wildes'
Arctic Cruise.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 28.-The Secre-
tary OF the Navy has just received
from Commander Frank Wildes. of
the United States steamship Yantic, a
full report of the cruise OF that vessel
up the western coast OF Greenland
last summer, while serving in the CD
pacity of reserve ship for the Greeley
relief expedition, under command OF
Lieutenant darlington. The first
part of the report, which describes
the voyage up Baffin's Bay, is eompar-
atively unimportant. On August 2
the Yantic arrived at the Cary Is
lands. Here was found cairn con-
tanning the record left by Lieut.. Gar
lington, stating that the Proteus had
passed the Cary Islands July
2lst, twelve days in advance Of
the Yantic. After leaving another
record in the cairn, Commander
Wildes pushed on northward through
loose streams of ice, and on August
Sd reached Lyttleton's Island. where
a cairn was discovered in which was
found a record left On July 26th, by
Lieutenant Darlington, announcing
the wreck and total loss of the Pro-
teus on the 23d. and giving brief &C
count of The movements Ut his own
immediate party. "a copy o. this re-

tic then ran down to Pandora Har.
Dor, where Commander W1ldes dis.
covered another cairn. containing let
ters from Captain Pike and Lieuten-
ant Darlington, stating that the whole
expeditionary force of the Ship
wrecked Proteus had started south
ward in small boats, hoping to meet
the Yantic coming up. or to find the
Swedish steamer sophia at Cape
York
Commander Wildes, upon discover
ing these records, started at once
southward in the track of the retreat
ing boats, searching the coast care
fully for any trace of the missing
men. Finally, on September Goth,
Commander Wildes found Lieut..
darlington and the Greeley relief
party with Captain Pike and the crew
of the Proteus at Upernavic, and on
the same day sailed for st. Johns.
In concluding his report Comman-
der Wildes says: Il earnestly repre-
sent to the department the inadvisabil-
ity OF again sending a vessel north of
Newfoundland, unless built and
equipps to encounter heavy ice, and
provisioned and clothed to stand an
Arctic winter. Had the Yantic been
of this description, there was nothing
to prevent my forcing a passage INTO
the fastlce about Cape York and re-
naming there; or of maintaining our
position till the ice moved off the
shore. [ purposely put this vessel on
several occasions on the edge of a
pack to get some idea of how she
would behave, and the result was not
encouraging. Damage to our screw
rudder and rudder post was greatly
to be feared. All the vessels, which
cruise in these waters carry heavy
iron, two-bladed, lifting screws, as
well as spare ones and a spare rud-
der"
Attached to the report are cop
les of the records left by Lieu
tenant GarliugtOn at Pandora har-
Dor and Lyttleton's Island. giving
an account of the wreck of the Pro
teus, and the subsequent movements
of the party. The first record found
indicates that Darlington was acting
upon the original instructions given
him when he left Washington, to
force his way as far north as possible,
and in case he failed to reach the
Greeley party, to leave provisions at
Island on his way back. |
tor lie says, under date of July 22d,
the day brfore the Proteus was

it continues 1 will go directly north |

leave my record. for 1t takes but a |
very short time to change its aspect |

His only object in landing, it seems,
would have been to leave record and |
not provisions, and this was in ac-
;ordance with his original orders.
The other records show Lieut.. Gar
lngton's extreme ankle y to commun-
cate with the Yantic at the earliest |
moment, or to procure an
'ther ship at the north again, and at
'nce rescue the Greeley party.

Railroad Talk.

PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 29-The
Central (Nickel Plate) railroad
which was supposed to have been
acquired by the Vanderbilts through
their purchase of, twentv-six million
dollars worth OF stock is about to be
contested by holders of first mortgage
bonds in Pennsylvania and else
where. It is now said these bonds
possess equal voting powers with
stock. The fact was not previously
developed. AS there are outstand
ing fifteen million ofthese bonds rep
resenting $N LOCO 600 which Wander
bilt does not control, this purchase Of
SIC. .OOO, 600 of stock only has appar-
emily failed to secure control OF the

elect at the next annual meeting
of the board of directors representing

Arrest Of an EmbeZZler,

CHICAGO, Sept. 29.-A young man
named Charles J. Walden was ar
rested q week ago at the Brevoolt
house by detectives, on dispatch
from the sheriff of Stockton, Califor-
mia, and has been locked up at the
Central station waiting the arrival of
the sheriff to take him back. Thomas
Cunningham, sheriff, arrived to-day
and told the following story of the
crime for which Walden was ar
rested. He was bookkeeper and
cashier for the Farmers Cooperative
Union, of Lodi, California, and in
the space of two months embeZzled
over 1000 of the funds of the con-
Germ, commencing his depredations
on the cash box the second day he
was in the employ of the Union. He
also forged an endorsement of N. A.
Comstock, q prominent man on a
back check for 1876, which was drawn
ON Changers bank of San Francisco.
He lett Lodi on the 25th of August
and went to San Francisco. After
cashing the check he went east to st.
Louis and thence to this city where
he stopped at the Brevoort house.
Walden is fine penman a good bass
singer and these accomplishments
were the means of identify ing him.
The dispatch said that Wa den
wrote 8 particularly even and beauti-
full hand and in looking
over the register of the hotel the de-
tective noticed the name of Charles
Weidham that stood out in marked
contrast to the usual scrawls on the
register as beautiful sample of PEN
manship. Golng to the room of
Weidbam and knocking, a deep,
b .ss voice said, ''Wno's there?" and
this made the officer still more con-
fident that he had the right man.
Upon enter ng the room the officer
addressed his man as Walden and
told him his business, and the em-
bszzIer speedily admitted his guilt.
The Sheriff left with his prisoner for
to-day.

The San DOMINGO Cyclone.

New YORK. Sept. %. Captain Da-
Wis, from SautO Domingo, speaking
of the terrible cyclone there, says: At
least 100 sailors must have perished
within distance Of 81 miles from
Santo Domingo city. 1t will take
years OF labor and an immense
amount of money to repair the dam
age done by the storm. Great desti-
tuition among the poorer classes must
follow, as nearly all the plantain trees,
on the fruit of which they depend in
a great measure for food, are blown
down. One half the villages along
the coast are destroyed. Among the
buildings destroyed at Asa We're the
factories Of Captain Hardy, Of Bos-
ton, who sustains losses to the
amount of at least $4,000.
