Jubilee Singers.

Ogden Pilot; There was q large audi
ence out to hear the Jubilee Singers last
evening, despite the unfavorable weather,
and those who were there are heartily
glad that they did attend. 1t was not
such a concert as most of the people ex-
pected-it was far better. Some had an
Idea that it would DO like other perform
ances given by the Jubilee Singers who
nave appeared here. but it was altogether
Inherent and was excellent in every
Particular, and the music was of that
class which an Ogden audience seldom
hears, and perhaps may never enjoy again.
IL was all melody, not harsh and grating,
but subdued and soft-just the kind to
please and gain the hearts Of the people.
by special request the company Wilt give a
sacred concert tonight at the Union Opera
House, and they ought to be greeted by a
large audience, as there will be nothing
introduced that anybody can object to.

A DUBIOUS FIND.
Water that Looks Like Blood and
Smells Like CreosOte.


The Virginia Enterprise says: In the
tunnel Of the Daniel Webster mine, north
east Of this city, beyond the Wells-Fargo
mine, at q point over 300 feet beneath the
surface, q flow Of water Of 9 strange char
scter has been encountered. 1t boils up
through the floor Of the tunnel. and in
the light Of the candles presents an almost
blood-red appearance. 1t smells like creo-
sote and has a pungent, disagreeable taste.
When bottled and brought out to the
light OF day, the water has q rich, burnt
sienns color. After standing for Q time a
grsyish, i~mpslpable powder is thrown
down, but the color remains the same.
Two or three gallons OF the water have
BEEN brought q town and distributed
among such persons as take an interest in
things Of the kind. Some of the water
has been sent to San Francisco for snaly-
Ga, and assays will be made Of the sedi-
msnt deposited by it. A bottle OF W alter
kept in the sun for several days shows NO
alteration in color and presents a clear,
bright appearance OF some t~incture.

Lloyd L. Majors.

Majors is going to hang sure, now, and
no help for it, on the 23d inst. The con-
demned faces the situation stoically. He
seems to gain strength and consolation
from perusing the Bible. His notion that
after death he will dwell in some plant or
tree is said to be firmly held. In what
part Of the Scriptures he derived his belief
is not revealed. Neither is it possible to
extract from him his reason for determin-
ing that his soul will dart at the moment
OF death into some vegetable structure.
He is walking toward the threshold OF
eternity with a contented mind and a good
digestion.

Execution of One White and Two Indian
Murderers at Fort Smith, Arkansas.
Fort SMITH Ark, July 1--Three United
States prisoners were executed here to-day for
murders committed in the Indian Territory
Thomas Z. Thompson, white man; John
Davis, a full-blood Choctaw Indian, and Jack
Womankiler alias Galcatcher, full-blood
Cherokee The drop fell at IL o'clock, and all
died without struggle Thompson was exc
cuted for the murder of his partner, James
O'Halloran, in the Chickasaw nation, last Sep
TENDER; Davis for the murder Of William Bull
lock, white man travelling through the Choc-
taw nation, in May, 1883 Woman
killer, while drunk found an old white
man asleep in the woods, and murdered
him without provocation, then robbed him. All
three admitted the killing and the Indians give
no reasons for their crimes. But Thompson
claimed to have killed his partner in self defense
He made that statement on the witness stand
and in his last confession to the minister, but
the strong eircumstantial evidence against him
caused his conviction on the grounds that he
murdered his partner for his interest in their
property. Three other prisoners were to have
been executed to-day, but the President par
doned one and committed the sentence Of the
other two to Imprisonment for life

Gresham VIII Make No Decision Until He
Sees the Law.

WASHINGTON, July lip ostmaster-gener
Gresham, when asked last night what would be
done in the matter of giving fifteen days leave Of
absence to the letter carriers, said that he had
not yet received q copy of the law bearing on
that subject, and consequently was not informed
as to its provisions. As he understood the action
of Congress in the matter, bill had been passed
providing for fifteen days leave for the carriers,
and an appropriation had been made for the
payment of substitutes to fill the places Of those
carriers during their absence, which was only
sufficient to cover an absence Of the regular car
riers for seven days AS he had not seen the
law providing for the leaves Of absence, he did
not know whether its provisions were or were
not mandatory whether it provided that the
carriers should have fifteen days leave in each
year with pay, without regard to the necessities
of the service, or whether it gave the department
any discretion in the matter and would permit
Of the limitation of the time Of the leave to the
number of days for which appropriation had
been made for the payment of substitutes He
said he had sent to the Department of State for
copy of the law, and expected to get one in
day or two, when he would be able to form a
clear idea Of what should be DONE
