A LAND CONTEST.
Are the Lands Over Jordan Desert
Tracts2

A very important land contest has
been in progress before the United States
Register and Receiver during the last
four days, the points involved, being
very vital to this Territory. from the
fact that they raise the question whether
the bench lands over Jordan are desert
in character or not. One Charles Gill
more, well known from his connections
with. the Lufkins case, having contested
the desert entry of a poor man named
Harris, who deals in kindling wood, in
this city, the Department ordered a
hearing, and Messrs. Bailey Bros. were
employed by Gilmore, while Harris was
represented by Bird q Lowe and Stayner
d Simmons. Five witnesses testified for
Gilmore, and eight for Harris. and
Judging from the evidence adduced the
defense seemed to have clear case.
The decision will be awaited with in
terest, as cancellation of Harris' entry,
considering his improvements and good
faith, would probably open the way for
litigation. as to the validity of every
desert entry in Utah.

Annual Christmas Festivals.

Happiness reigned among the two hundred
children of the Fifth Baptist Church Sun
day-School who attended the Christmas eel
ebration which was held in the lecture
room Of that church last evening. A pro-
gramme of a musical and literary character,
specially prepared for the amusement of
the little ones, was excellently rendered,
after which followed the distribution of
books and other prizes by the Sunday
school teachers to the respective scholars
A small box of candy as q tribute from
"Kriss Kingle," and the presentation of
s25 to Rev. Z. {. Mcador, a suit of clothes
to Professor Garland, the blind organist,
and to Mrs. j. j. Darlington, wife of the
leader Of the Bible class, an oil portrait Of
her husband. The festive occasion was
brought to close after all had received n
sumptuous share Of ice cream and cake.
The programme which was carried out at
the Christmas entertainment at Ryland
Chapel NJ. L. Church, at the corner of
Tenth and ID streets southwest last evening,
was novel as well as entertaining. After
the preliminary exercises the tap Of bell
was heard and a little girl appeared on the
platform and recited short poem, produ-
cling at Its termination the gilt letter "W,"
which was hung upon the wall; then another
came with the letter Sc" and so on till the
word "welcome' was completed
An anthem was then sung by the choir,
after which number OF musical and other
features were rendered by the children and
others. At certain period of the pro-
gramme, amidst the jingling Of bells and
rafting OF windows, messenger, in be-
| fitting costume, forced his way through the
door, down through the aisle to the plat
form, where, amid the hilarity Of the chill
dren, he announced that St. Nicholas soon
would he there. The little ones were moi
kept in long waiting, when the jingle Of
bells was again heard, and down the aisle
came the welcome "Krisn covered with toys
and candies. Mounting the platform he
| gave genial talk to the little ones, after
which he called them in turns and to eacl
| gave package containing a present
The impersonation was excellent and wal
heartily enjoyed by the sold folks in thu
| audience.

THE NETS" ADMITTED.
The Nationals Have Hopes of Securing
Admission to the League.


Admission to the League.
The meeting OF the American Baseball
Association was held at the Continental
Hotel in Philadelphia alto o'clock last even
ing. President Mcknight occupied the
chair. All the clubs were represented as
follows; Athletic Simmons, Sharsig and
Mason; Baltimore, Barnie; Brooklyn,
Byrne, Doyle and Abel Cincinnati, Caylor;
Louisville, Hart; Metropolitan, Wiman,
Williams and Clifford; Pittsburg, Nimick
and Phillips, and st. Louis, Won der Abe.
The first business to come before the meet
ing was motion TO relnstate the Metro
poltans. The Nets delegates were re-
quested TO leave the room. After they had
done so letter from the Nationals resign
ing their membership was read, and the
resignation was accepted The controversy
about Orr aud Roseman came up next and
the Brooklyn Club Informed the meeting
that IL had arrived at satisfactory under
standing with the Metropolitans about those
| players. The understanding Is that Wimau
and Byrnc shall settle this between them
selves and as the former is anxious for har-
mony, he will probably let Byrne have the
two players and get in return Phillips and
| llotaling. Mr.. Wiman having In every
| other way made the concessions asked of
| him, the Mctropolitans were then rcinstatcd
by unanimous vote.
II was next agreed that the season shall
begin April II and and October IL, allow
ing eight days more to play of postponed
games. Also, that next season series be-
tween two clubs shall consist of twenty in
stead of sixteen games, and that the num-
Der Of games shall be increased from liz to
| l40. This gives each club 40 games on its
home grounds instead of So, being ii more
than heretofore. The meeting adjourned at
midnight with the best of feeling between
| Wiman and the Association.
President Soden OF the Bostons, a mem
Der of the arbitration committee recently
| appointed by the League, has sent the fol
| lowing dispatch TO Mr. Bennett of the Ma
tionals In regard to the action Of the COM
mittee offering them place In the League:
BosroN, Dec 20.
| II. b. BonHen, Washington, n. g.:
| | consider the decision of the committee
| final. A. II. SoDEs.
Mr.. Bennett sent the following telegram
to Mr.. Soden:
WASHINGTON, Dec. %,
| 4. II. Sedan. B0siOH:
| The National Club rcorganlzed and voted
| unanimously to accept membership in the
| League. H. Ii. BENNETT.
1t is necessary now for the Nationals to
be formally admitted to the League, which
| will probably be done II an eighth club car
he secured that is perfectly satisfactory.
Every loyal baseball man fervently hopes
| that such result may be attained. The
| Nationals have determined opponents in
some members OF the League, and 1t is best
not to be too sanguine.

Found Dead i'm Red.

Thomas B. Harwell, guest at the Cutler
House, on Third street above the Avenue,
could not be aroused yesterday afternoon,
and his door was forced open. Iarwcll
was found lying on the bed in an uncon-
cious condition and a half.empty laudanum
bottle stood on chair by the bed. When a
physician arrived life was extinct. The first
suspicion was suicide, but upon investiga-
ting the case the Coroner gave a certificate
Of accidental death. Ilarwell was from
Georgia, and came here about three weeks
ago seeking a Government position, aud
succeeded in getting his appointment few
days ago, and it is conjectured that he took
the drug to induce sleep as he had been on
n spree ever since he was In the city.
