Memorial Services Throughout Utah Out
of Respect to the Martyrs"
SALT LAKE, Utah, August 25.-
Memorial services in respect to the
memory of the Mormon elders, assas-
slnated III Tennessee, were held yester-
day in all the large and many of the
smaller towns In Utah. A congrega-
ton of about 1000 attended service in
the tabernacle in this city. The re-
marks of the speakers, which repre-
sented the sentiment of the congrega-
tion, were conciliatory, and reflected,
in no way, on the people of Tennessee
generally, but attributing the murders
TO the result of bigoted prejudice on
the part Of ignorant, misinformed In
dividuals. The prevailing sentiment
among leading Mormons, and tne
Mormon people generally, is that such
acts are the outgrowth of the flood of
Misrepresentation and falsehood, chief
ly emanating from this city, and con-
tinually kept before the country at
large by their enemies.
SALT LAKE, August 24.-MenoriaI
services in the great woman taber.
nacle were attended to-day by i'm
mense crowds in honor of the dead
martyrs, from Tennessee. The bodies
arrived three days age. The speakers
bewailed the wickedness of the gem
tiles; said the slain were better than
the slayers. Much stress was laid on
the crown of glory ready, for those
martyrs.

Testimony of the Lookout of the Schoon-
er Lowell and Others.
Boston, August 26-The affidavit
of the lookout man of the schooner
Jas. s. Lowell, which sunk the Talla-
pooSa, says he saw a steamer ahead a
little on the lee port bow; saw that
the schooner'S lights were burning
right as the steamer approached; saw
the steamer was swinging across our
bow, as 1 saw all three of her lights
green, red and the masthead light,
finally the green and masthead light
only. and then, in few seconds, the
vessel struck.
Second Mate Fitzgerald also testi-
| fled to the steamer changing her
course, causing the collision.
Samuel Edgett, who was at the
wheel, says the schooner's course was
not altered and, just before the collis-
sion, saw the green light and then the
red. After the collision both lights of
the schooner were found burning
brightly.
Boston, MASS, August 26.-Dlvers
will probably examine the Tallapoosa
tomorrow to learn the extent of dam
age and ascertain if any bodies are on
board.

CHICAGO, August 26.-Four thou
sand veterans of the late war, with
1900 of their friends, participated in
the opening exercises of the reunion
of soldiers and sailors of the north
west, at Driving park, this afternoon.
The governor of Illinois delivered a
welcome, followed by Gen. Logan, who
was accorded an enthusiastic re-
ception. Among the speakers were
Mayor Harrison, eX-Gov. Oglesbly
and Gen. j. c. Black. A pleasing fea-
ture was the battle hymn of the re-
public, sung by Miss Alice Mitchell,
the veterans joining in the chorus.
Naming the encampment in honor OF
the lamented Col. Mulligan was the
occasion for general commentator as
a fitting remembrance to the dead
hero. The reunion ends Saturday;

SAN SABA, August 26-Since the

are going up on the burnt district;
two Of these being handsome cut
sandstone fronts. 1t was reported
that parties here were insured about
$25,000, when the actual amount in
sured was only $2,125. None of this
loss has as yet been paid. The insur-
ances companies seem to be very slow
in this matter. Several new residences
are also being built in town.
The Baptist District association is
now in session at this place. There
was preaching at three different
churches in town at one time yester-
day by this denomination. A good
many visitors are here.
District court meets on the 1st of

Our town is still improving in
health, the fever having about spent
its course.
A slight rain fell on Saturday, and
the weather to-day is cooler.
The nomination of Ireland, Gibbs

ment.
There will be a mixed vote here for
these officers, if independent candi-
dates present themselves.

PARIS PAPERS INDIGNANT

PARIS, August 26.-Paris papers
indignantly repel the charges by the
London Times that cruelty was ex-
ercisee by Admiral Courbet at Foo
Chow, and indulge in violent abuse
OF England. The Voltaire and Temps
say France is in no need to exculpate
itself to a country which set fire to
Alexandria. Admiral Courbet des-
troyed the Chinese gunboats because
ne could not weaken his crews by
occupying them. The SoleiI and
Republique Francoise approve Ad-
mtral CouI bets energetic course. All
he did, they say, was to obey orders,
IN the hope of effecting a prompt set
tlement of the existing difficulty.

The Fleichsig Lynching.

GALVESTON, August 26.-Justice
Spann was engaged to-day in hearing
t siimOny in the case of the myster-
ious death Of Richard Fleichslg, us
young German boy found hanging to
tree down the island about a week
ago. Owing to suspicious circum-
stances and public clamor, Justice
Spann re-opened the hearing of the
testimony, and second inquest is
now in progress. No startling
evidence has been elected as yet. The
testimony, thus far. scarcely estab-
fishes the charge that young Fleichsig
was brutally treated by Juneman and
his wife.
The case attracts considerable at
tention IN this city, especially with
the Germans, who have undertaken to
unravel the mystery in connection
with Fleichsig's death. The hearing
will continue tomorrow.
