| STORE AT EDoM BURNED On Thursday
morning a week, about o'clock, the store
house at Edor,, Rockingham county, which
was occupied as store by Mr.. A. Chris
man, was robbed of portion of the goods
and then burned. The goods were insured
to the amount of $4,000 in a Richmond
Company. The building was not insured
| The Register says
f'The fire was clearly the work Of an in
cendiary. The thieves had entered the
| front door OF the store by removing the
transom, and afterwards the wooden bal
fastening the door on the inside, and, after
taking what goods they desired, or could
carry off, set fire to the room under the
counter, intending to destroy all traces Of
their act by the destruction of the property
Fortunately, however, it was discovered IN
time to prevent this. Had it progressed q
little further, not only would the store room
and goods have been destroyed, but the
residence of Mr. Chrisman likewise, as ii
adjoined the store"
The Legislature adjourned on Monday.

On last Monday afternoon sixty tons of
rock fell from the arch of the Natural
bridge. The report was deafening and the
shock considerable. There is nothing to
indicate the place from whence it fell but q
square niche. The curved lines Of the

fall of rock from the bridge since it was
struck by lightning in 1889.

THE TERRITORIES.

The Territories should do the proper
thing politically on Tuesday. There are
eight Of these dependencies, and each
will elect Delegate to the Forty-ninth
Congress. Two years ago four Repub-
Leans and four Democrats were re-
turned as duly elected Delegates. There
was a contest for the seat belonging to
New Mexico, and it being shown that
the Republican was in the place through
gross fraud, the Democratic contestant
was admitted to the seat; thus five
Democrats and three Republicans rep
resent the Territories in the present
Congress, as follows: Democrats, Arr
IONA, Montana, New Mexico, Wyoming
and Utah; Republicans, Idaho, Dakota
and Washington. There should be
different arrangement in the Forty
ninth Congress, and we believe there
will be. The Territories now repre-
sented by Democrats will undoubtedly
return Delegates of the same political
faith as the present incumbents, and
there is also a fair prospect that a gain
of one viii be made. Idaho promises to
redeem herself, repudiating the corrup-
zionist and bIatherskite, Singiser, and
electing Honest John HALEY, staunch,
true and tried Democrat. There is no
hope at present of redeeming Washing
ton or Dakota, both OF which are kept
in the Republican ranks By the tempt
ing bait OF Statehood that has been held
out to them by the Republican party.
Two years hence, when the people OF
those Iong-suffering dependencies learn
that the &. o. P. has been holding out
false hopes to them, We may expect
that Dakota and Washington will wheel
into line, and the Territories present an
unbroken Democratic front. Then will
be good time to unitedly ask admis
sion to the Union, and the abolishment
/ of the infamous system of Territorial
government.

J0DGE ZANE says there was false
swearing in the Connolly case. If Judge
Zane viii examine the criminal code he
VIII find that perjury is an ofense
punishable by fine and imprisonment.
Judge Zane has a grand jury selected
and arranged to his own taste. 1t is his
duty, if he knows of any perjury in his
court, to ask his inquisitors to present
the periurers for trial and punishment.
If he does not know of any perjury he
has simply taken advantage of his lofty
and safe position to SANDER witnesses.
What will Judge Zane do about it?

THgRE Is no question as to the size of
the audience that will gather in the
Theatre on Monday evening to ratify
the nomination of Hon. John t. Game;
It will equal the capacity of the building;
were the auditorium twice or thrice its
present dimensions there would be no
space. to spare. But we hope the Lib
erals will find it convenient to make up
a considerable portion of the audience.
They are cordially invited and
viii he made welcome. They are
wanted there, because the aim of the
speakers of the evening viii be to en-
tighten and instruct, and their desire
naturally is to teach where learning Is
most needed, hence they want to talk to
Liberals. II the Liberals were not so
hide-beund and stubborn, but would
attend the Peoples meetings and
listen to the Peoples logic, they would
repudiate their own platform and
nominee, and support the candidate
who works for the best interests OF
Utah. The Liberals are wanted at the
Theatre on Monday evening, and i
they do not appear there in force i
viii be because they are afraid to trust
their own Judgments.

An Intelligent Washerwoman.

A certain young lady left the house
where she boards in this city for a
days visit to the country, and as it was
Monday she left directions with the lady
of the house to give the washerwoman
her weeks washing when she called.
The washing was done up in a news
paper, and that was the only bundle of
the kind in the room, so there could be
no mistake.
On her return in the latter part of the
afternoon she discovered that her wash
ing had not been taken. Furthermore,
there appeared to have been trouble in
the house and the sulphurOus odor of
profanity prevailed the atmosphere.
A young man who occupied a room
or the floor below her was raving up
and down, vainly seeking for costume
which he had hired for a masquerade
party on that night. She heard him
declare that he had left it in his room
rolled UP in newspaper; that it
was gone, and he was just SIS and a
| good time out by the loss of it. The
Young lady Immediately tumbled to the
state of things Her WasherWOman
had gone into the wrong room and
taken the suit instead of the bundle of
soiled clothes. She volunteered this
! explanation to the young man, and he
agree to escort her to the house of the
offending washerwoman and recover the
property.
The house was found after consi-
! derable search, but no one appeared to
be home. They pounded the door OF
the little hut-it was some distance out
OF the city-but got no reply, Atlength
they walked around 10 the back door,
and there in the yard they saw TO there
horror the costume suspended from &
clothes line, having been washed and
hung out to dry. It bad lost its origi
nal brightness, and not only this. but It's
original size. 1t had been intended fol-
a man six feet high, and had Shrunk in

from the young mans lips, but just a
that moment the washerwoman ap
peaTed at the door.
"Oh. what did you do il for? Didn'
