Memory.
Salt Lake dispatch: Memorial services in
respect to the memory of the Mormon elders
assassinated in Tennessee were held yesterday
in all the large and many of the smaller towns
in Utah. A congregation of about seven
thousand attended the services in the taber-
nacle in this city. The remarks of the speak
gregation, were conciliatory and consoling,
rejecting in no way on the people of Tennes-
see generally, but attributing the murder to
the result of bigoted prejudice on the part of
ignorant and misinfOrmed individuals. The
prevailing sentiment among the leading Nor
mons, and Mormon people generally. is that
such acts are the OlItgrowth of the flood of
emanating from this city, and continually
kept before the country at large by their
enemies.

Il Great Deal of Property Destroyed and
Some Loss of Life Incurred.


Some Loss of Life Incurred.
Evansville, Ind, and surrounding country
was visited by destructive hurricane on Fri
day last. A damage of not less than quarter
of million of dollars in Evansville and vicin-
ity was inflicted. Homes were blown down,
roofs carried away, stores badly damaged,
thousands of shade trees were torn up by the
roots and other injury done. The steamer
Belmont, which leaves Evansville every morn
ing, was wrecked by the storm about two
miles from Henderson, blowing her barge and
cars to the bank, taking her chimneys off and
sinking her almost instantly. Fourteen lives
were lost. The hurricane capsiZed the boat,
turning her completely over. She was going
to Henderson with a cargo containing the
passengers of the Louisville and Nashville
railroad. The boat was separated from the
barge. All on the latter were saved, and all on
the boat, except four or five, lost. Among the
lost are CAPTAIN John Smith, E. c. Roach and
son, prominent merchant of Evansville, Miss
Laura Lyon and sister, Sallie Bryant, teach
ers there and mother, also Mrs. Woodward. of
Henderson. and Il lady and a babe with
satchel, with a card in it marked Miss Hattie
Murray, BrOOktield, Ala. The bodies of the

st. Louis dispatch: Miss Louisa N. Taylor,
sister of Mrs. Chouteau, and daughter of the
late George B. Taylor, educated by the order
of st. Francis de Sales two years ago, an
nounced her determination to become nun.
Prior to this she conveyed her property of
500, 900 to her sister Ida, then unmarried under
a written agreement that she expected to take
monastic vows with the order of st. Francis
de Sales. Should she not do so on entering
and afterwards severing her connection with
the order, the property was to be restored to
her. Some months ago Miss Taylor left the
convent and announced she had withdrawn
from the order and asked for restoration of
her property. Her sister, suspecting the sim
cerity of her act demurred to giving back the
property, and Miss Taylor brought suit to re-
cover. Mrs. Chouteau recOnveyed the prop
erty and a short time afterwards Miss Taylor
transferred it all to Robert McNicholas as trus-
tee for the use of the convent of the Vista
ton, and MISS Taylor re-entered the convent
and took the black veil. The plaintiffs alege
fraud and collision against the officials of the
convent, who are charged with using undue
influence to obtain the property and seek to

A man whose name is prominent in
sporting circles in this city said last
night that man was coming to New
York who could walk on the water

expression OF incredulity and sarcas-
tic query as to who the miracle worker
was.
"Now, that's all right" he said:

get right out on the East river and walk
over its surface

very trustful, for the man said: ssNow.

The gentleman bent his left arm
slowly up and glanced significantly at
wonderful bunch that swelled the
sleeve OF his seersucker coat where it
covered his biceps.
'What does this aquatic pedestrian
wear on his feet9 Canvas? Does he
make catamaran of himself?'' asked
the Dial hand.

We suspect that the San Francisco Ex-
change, which is an independent talker,
paints Jim Keene correctly, as follows:
Many papers, however, use only rose
colors in taking the pictures OF men who
are in bonanza, while, we observe, that
the moment q "gold bug" slips they apply
the lightning photograph process, and pre-
sent the unfortunate just as he is:
We do not believe that any one on this
Coast who knew Jim Keene well will regret
his ruin. He was q creature Of the curb
stone whom an accident hustled into prom
inence. Wealth never brought him refine
ment, or the desire to use it for worthy
purposes. Vulgarly ostentatious in Cali
fornia, when he moved to the east his vul-
garity became more pronounced, and his
ostentation more offensive. When he did
give, il was for notriety, and every news
paper in the land was furnished with the
details OF the gift. Keene's charity was to
advertise Keene, just as his race horses, or
yachts or pictures, because it being the
fashion for rich men to purchase pictures,
Keene kept in the swim. OF art he knew
nothing, nor did he ever care to acquire a
love for art or literature or any of their
kindred. He was a creature of fortune.
and when she deserted him, he had not
the mental skill, even in the business OF
money getting where his life was spent to
secure himself from absolute ruin.
