DEvII.IsH WORK.
A Night Attack upon a Defence
less Woman.

PLEASANT GROVE, Utah, Feb. Is, 'S5.
To the Editor of THE HERALD.
Mrs. B. w. briggs, Jr., was the
victim, on last Saturday night, of a
most fiendish outrage. Mrs. D. had
just tucked her two little children in
bed and taken off her shoes, when she
seated herself at the table to read, it
being quite early in the evening. Soon
after, she heard a tap upon the kitchen
window. She demanded what was
wanted, when person in a subdued
voice says. "Come here, come here. !"
At first thought, she concluded it must
be Mr.. briggs younger brother, who
had slept at the house since her hus-
bands absence in the east. The knock
was soon repeated at another window of
the room. She again asked what was
wanted, when the villain insinuated
| that as her husband was away
| she should let him in, etc. etc.
AT the same time the brute kept up a
continued pacing to and fro at the end
of the house, using the most foul and OBJ.
scene language known to the low and
| AlC gave o. IL W
stand his vile and dastardly purpose in
language that was not to be misunder-
stood. All this while the lady kept up
her courage. Armed with butcher
knife and dinner bell (the only weapons
in the house,, she determined to make a
desperate fight. While she was pacing
the floor in such suspense she saw the
window of her room being hoisted by
| the man on the outside. She sprang
upon the sash, and with her might
withstood the pressure from without,
until finally he let go his hold, with the
threat that he would smash in the pane.
At this the window came down with a
thump. Mrs. D. ran across the room
and through her bed chamber,
where lay her helpless children,
escaped through the window, bounded
across lots to her nearest
neighbor, Heber Clark, called the house
hold up and thus she almost miraculous
| ly escaped what appeared to her worse
than death. During her fight she fell
several times, her path being strewn
with fences, lumber piles, deep snow,
etc.
1t appears so strange that any one
could be so bold as to perpetrate an act
so dastardly at such an early part of the
night and in the manner he did, the
dwelling being situated on Main Street,
between the Battle Creek Coop. and
Clark Bros. q Co.'S store. Besides
there was rehearsal going on at Clark s
Hall, only six rods distant, at the time.
This desperate individual stood upon a
willow basket to reach the window in
his attempt to force it open.
Officers are trying to find the scoun-
drel out if possible.

found testimony that the Lord would
not des ert those who relied upon Him !;
He would always keep His, promises.
For three years he had sojourned in the
far south; had, since he left the Terri
tory, been through considerable expert
ence, in which he had felt the proYi-
dences of God. These are times, he
said, when, as it were, the waters are
troubled, when the enemies of righteous
ness are fighting against Zion, harras-
sing, vexing and despoiling the Saints
of their rights and liberties; not only
here but in the far south, Should this
bring depression on the feelings OF
the Saints, causing them to
despond? No, the Saints had been
taught in their early experiences that
the enemies of righteousness would join
together against the church of God;
this was taught in the first sermons
preached; that the Saints should suffer
persecution, but their reward was great
who outliYed and triumphed in the end.
The experience of Jesus was typical OF
that of all Saints in all ages; he was re-
Viled, spit upon, treated with scorn and
contempt and finally crucified but in
the midst of all, he prayed for his enc
mics. The ancient prophets and reve-
lators had foreseen this kingdom OF the
latter days He inquired if the Saints
would cease to be faithful, and answered
for them by saying, No. Spoke of the
parable of the men who built their
houses, one upon rock, and the other
upon the sand, and counseled
his hearers to choose which
one they would initiate. If this
subject were studied, it would be
found that the house built upon the
rock would be the more enduring, safe
and reliable. Those who honored God
and kept his commandments built their
houses upon rocks those who did con-
trary built upon the sand. The govern
ment of God required the obedience of
his children; it also required parents
to train and bring up their children in
the ways of life and salvation; it was
the duty of parents TO preserve their
offspring in the path of rectitude. He
bore strong testimony to the truth of
the gospel he had embraced; that
Joseph Smith was prophet; that the
revelation of celestial marriage was of
divine origin. Everything would be
right if the Saints would do right. In
conclusion, he blessed the congregation.
The choir sang an anthem and Elder
Milando Pratt pronounced the bene-
diction.

New YORK, Dec. l6.-At an early
hour this morning the village of Wood
more, a suburb of this city, was the scene
of a horrible fire. Some men returning
home at half past 2, discovered the small
frame house of Frank Knox on fire. Help
was summoned, but before it arrived the
house was totally destroyed. After day
light search was made for the bodies of
the family who were thought to have been
in the building and Knox was found on
the floor in the front room with his wife
in his arms, both bodies being burned to
a crisp. Ten feet away was IN unrecog-
nizable mass supposed to be the remains
of the eldest child, a boy 3 years old. OF
the baby, nine months old, there was no
trace, and it is supposed that the body
was completely consumed. From the pc
sition of the bodies it was thought that
Mrs. Knox, who was an invalid, had over
turned the lamp and they were overcome
by the flames before help could reach
them.

A Mad Woman's Deed.

PORTLAND, Ore, Dec. l6.-This morn
ing at Long Prairie, about eight miles
from this place, a deplorable event &C
CURED, news of which was received here
to. night. Mrs. Miner has for some time
manifested symptoms of insanity; last
evening she saturated papers with coal
oil and distributed them around her
house, telling one of her children, on in.
quiry, that she was wetting them with
water. Early this morning she made the
remark that she was about to destroy the
whole family, and her husband, tearing
that she wa about to attempt his life
proceeded to put her u ofthe room. On
opening the door he discovered that the
house was in flames. Rushing to the
front door with one of his children he
found it locked, and the key removed.
He then ran to the back door and found
it nailed up. Finally with his little
daughter he succeeded in escaping
through the window, but both were badly
burned. The unfortunate woman, with
her four little children, were burned to
death.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 16.-Mr. Brown
Qnd.) offered a resolution changing the
rules so as to provide that leave to print
in the record shall be allowed only when
a question is under consideration. Re-
ferred. On motion of Mr.. Norwood
(Ga.) the senate bill passed removing the
disabilities of Alexander r. Lawton, Of
Georgia. Discussion of the proposed re-
vision of the rules was resumed, and Mr..
Herbet ALA took the floor, with an ar
gument in favor of the general feature Of
the revision, but in opposition to the
plan Of distributing the work to the APP
preparation committee. That the com
mittee should remain in charge Of the
money bills, but that all power should he
taken away from it to Incorporate in the
general legislation. Mr.. Hiscock, MEM
Der of the committee on rules, presented
the reasons which had impelled him TO
agree to the report of the majority. The
gentlemen who opposed the distribution
feature did so on the theory that the ma
lority of the house could not be trusted
with a chance to get at the public treas
ury. Tie was in favor of as many mem-
bers of the house as possible sharing in
its responsibilities, sharing in its labors
and its leadership. He was opposed to
building up a system of rules that would
crown any man or set of men as kings OF
this legislative body. He went on to ar.
que that if the appropriation bills were
distributed, they could all be reported
within thirty days of the organization of
the committees.
Mr.. Hiscock spoke with much earnest
ness and at the conclusion of his speech,
was a%pplauded and congratulated by his
party colleagues and was followed by Mr..
Holman, of Indinaa, with an argument IN
opposition to the abolition of the clause
of the rule known as the Hoffman
amendment, which enables legislation
to be ingrafted on appropriation bills, il
it is in the interest of economy. He
maintained that before the adoption ofthc
amendment, general legislation was placed
in nearly every appropriation bill, and
generally in the direction OF extravaganza.

THE DYNAMITE PLOT
Viewed with Horror by Citi-

of Deputy Marshal Col
lin at Salt Lake.
Deadly

SAN Francisco, Dec. l6-Many of
the most prominent citizens have been
seen to-day concerning the dynamite plot
discovered last night. Mosto of them view
it in a serious light. Mayor Bartlett
says: Some days ago chief of police
Crowley informed me of the existence OF
such a plot, but | did not apprehend any
danger. ! was inclined to believe it was
simply a movement for discouraging
Chinese immigration. They are hare
Drained fellows. who would probably not
hesitate to inaugurate a reign of terror in
the Chinese quarter, and if once started
they might be impelled to go further than
they expected. A comment Of the
Bulletin this evening in reference to this
affair is worthy of attention. 1t says:
Disorder OF any kind would be welcome
by those who favor the continuance of
coolie immigration. 1t is about the only
condition at this time that can save them
from discontinue, and the best invest
ment that the Chinese Six companies
could make is in starting dynamite melo
dramas. If the anti Chinese movement
should become associated with disorder,
the Chinese Six companies would stand a
chance to win" Further charges of
misdemeanor have been entered against
the prisoners, the object being to have
the matter thoroughly investigated. Eff
forts were made this afternoon to release
the prisoners on bail, the bonds being
fixed at 81 900 each. Henry Weisman,
one of the four dynamiters arrested last
was liberated this eveningon 1000
