From General w. Is. Franklin's ac-

good wishes for my future. Holding

Just as evening was closing in,
curly-hcadcd little boy was standing on

Between Deals.

Colonel f. Wolfe, of Indiana, told an
amusing incident that had occurred
between himself and General Hatch
the day preceding. The last time the
pair had met was in Tennessee, near
Memphis, at the early part of the war.
Hatch was in the regular service and
Wolfe volunteer officer. On the night
in question some movements were in
operation, and orders were coming in
thick and fast To while away the
tedium OF the time the two officers sat
down to game of poker in log cab
in which they occupied as headquar-
ters. The play was interrupted by the
arrival of frequent orderlies, which
were promptly attended to, and then
the game proceeded. After a while,
however, orderlies began to come in at
both doors, and the situation grew crit
ical. Major Hatch started to his feet
with the exclamation: wolfe, this
thing is getting too hot Mind, it's
your dealH' and leaving cards and
stakes on the table he hurried from the
hovel and mounted his horse. On
Friday last the narrator of the story
entered the Brettum House, in Win
field, and handing his gripsack to the
clerk awaited the movements of gray
headed gentleman in order to place his
autograph on the register The former
having entered his name, handed his

How He Would Announce II.

Joe Castiron is bachelor, and not
long ago went away from town on a
visit, and the report became circulated
that he had been married. On his re-
turn a friend pinned him down.
"How is this about you getting mar
ried?' he inquired.
"'Tain't so, said Joe emphatically.
"Why, I'm told postal was receiv-
ed from you, saying the happy event
had occurred, and OF course that meant
you were married."
"Well, hardly. You don't reckon
I'd announce my wedding by calling it
a happy event, do you?"
II should think most anybody
would"
Maybe they would, but you can bet
I'd announce mine as sad affair. '
Happy event. indeedH' And Joe

to himself, Joe must be thinking
about the poor woman. ."-Merchanl

They got new reporter on the
Portland SiaShcr the other day. He
was young man with u high fore
mead, hair parted in the middle, and n
dreamy, poetic eye. He was just from
college. and he knew he could make a
success as a journalist, because he had
written short story for Godey'S Lddy's
Book. He remarked to the editor that
Ouida was the only writer whose style
was really worth initiating. and that
there was a soft dyllic charm about
William Blacks books that was simply
inimitable.
The editor said he shouldn't won
dor,' and sent the new man down to
see what was going on at the police
court. Later on the graduate handed
in the following report:
"Biddy McGinnis, did you strike the
defendant with n beer mugg" asked his
honor, as a woman wih red shawl
and nose took the stand.
The soft spring zephyrs rustled tho
papers on the dusty desks. Through
the open window came the distant
chirp of the bobolnk, from the mead
ows fragrant with the breath of daisy
bespangled grain. "rll not be desavin'

TO-DAY'S VICTIM.
Edward Brain Arrested for Marry.
ing More Wives Than the Ed
munds Law Allows.

1t seems to be rather a cold day for
deputy marshals now when they are I'M
able for twenty-four hours to serve war
rant on polygamist. The individual
gathered in to-day was Edward Brain,
well known as the proprietor of Brains
brickyard, east of the city. He was ar
rested by Captain Greenman, and taken
before Commissioner Mckay, where the
complaint was read to him. The com
plant is signed by Benjamin Johnson,
a brother of one Of Brains wives, and
charges polygamy and unlawful CO.
habitation. 1t is alleged by the
complaint that prior to August,
1888, Brain married one Alice
Doe, whose true name is unknown to
complainant, and that afterwards. while
his lawful wife was still living, on August
10, 1888, he married Anna Peterson.
And the complainant further charges
that from May LIST, 1888, until December
LIST, 1888, Brain unlawfully cohabited
with more than one woman, namely.
Mary Bailey, Mary Ann Johnson and
Anna Peterson.
Brain waived examination and was
bound over in the sum of So 900 to aprAar
before the Grand Jury. JOS C. Kings
bury and John Kirkman were accepted
as sureties, and Brain was allowed to 90

THE NEW PEN.
How 1t will be Built If the ApPrO-
priatiOn is Secured -. Boiler
Iron Cells.

A DEMOCRAT reporter, while sitting in
Marshal Ireland's Office this morning,
ventured to make some inquiries con-
corning that $55, 900 appropriation recon-
mended by the House committee for a
new penitentiary for Utah.
Il understand that Mr.. Caiue has
stated the appropriation was passed, but
| have received no notification, said the
Marshal
Will $4,000 be sufficient to erect
such an institution as is needed?"
" No, it will not, " but it will do to start
with. l sincerely hope the appropriation
was voted, for it would be good thing
If we could put the prisoners right to

closure and probably more. My idea is
to erect a wall around sufficient ground
for all the buildings of the institution, in

be carried on inside the walls"
"Have you estimated what the cost of
first-class institution will be?"
"No, could not do that without visit
ing other penitentiaries We would have
to erect a building that would accommo-
date at least 200 prisoners, and the cost
would depend on the manner in which it
was constructed. 1t would be necessary,
in order to have perfectly secure places of
confinement, to provide several iron-lineG
cells"

say you will construct cells entirely lined

eyes, stone cells are not absolutely
safe, but when a cell is lined on all sides
with thick boiler iron it is an absolute
impossibility for a prisoner to make an
opening. We would want at least eight
or ten of these iron cells for hardened
criminals, and they cost good deal"
"What kind of stone will be used in
the construction of the buildings?"
"Red sandstone, presume, from one
of the neighboring canyons"

Another Water PetitioD-The Usual

dull. Mayor Sharp presided, and twelve
members were present.

Ward, sent in petition requesting per-
mission to purchase certain irregular
strip of land, originally intended for an
alley Committee on public grounds.
Fifty-seven residents and property
owners of those portions of the Seven
teenth and Nineteenth Wards lying above
the water ditch, stated that certain resi-
dents of the Eighteenth, Twentieth and
Twenty-first Wards had petitioned for an
increased water supply. The petitioners
called attention to the fact that they, too,
were q dry benchers in every sense of
the term, and begged the Council to at
tend to their wants while considering the
prayers of other residents The matter
was referred to the special committee,
to whom was referred the petition of
other dry benchers.
The petition of Matilda Ferguson, who

The choristers received So each, aggre-
eating $120. A few OF the chorus singers
think their share of the spoils is rather
insignificant, compared with the amounts
received by several of the principals, but
the latter claim they guaranteed to stand
all losses if the receipts did not pay ex-
penses, and consequently are entitled to
a greater proportion of the profits.

GRAND ARMY NOTABLES.
The Reception rendered Them Last
Evening.

The arrival in our city of General
Kountz, Commander-in-Chief, and Gen
eral Austin, Judge Advocate General, OF
the Grand Army of the United States,
was the signal for the mastering of all the
members of that organization in our city,
and they have outdone their usual efforts
In paying the tribute of respect to their
chief and his staff.
Last evening a magnificent reception
and banquet was rendered to the distin-
guished guests. General Murray. Gov
ernor of the Territory, welcomed the
guests with one of his always happy
speeches, but on this occasion, he. like
the balance of the "old soldiers outdid
himself, and made an address that will
long be remembered by all who heard it.
General Kountz gave history of the
society of the G.. A. R., which of course
was very interesting to all.
General Kountz was followed by Gen
eral ID. K. Austin in one of the most in
terestlng discourses we have ever heard
on war matters
A number of other gentlemen spoke.
after which the large assemblage sat
down to sumptous repast prepared bv
ii. y. Stearns, and amid tOasts, witty
sayings, repartee and general enjoyment
the hours turned into minutes and the
company only got up from the board
when admonished that the hour was
very late.
This morning Generals Kountz and
Austin, accompanied by Captain Byron,
visited the various places of interest in
the city, not forgetting in their tour t.
drop in at the DEMOCRAT office.
General Kountz leaves this evening
over the D. & r. G. for Ogden, where he
will take the Central Pacific for San

be better for the Herald to reduce the
