OUR CITY LEGISLATORS.
,sheir Meeting Last Night-NO Esusi.
ness CT Importance, and They
Adjourn.

The City Council met in regular session
last evening. Several petitions were
presented, some OF which were granted
and others referred to the appropriate
committees.
A number of reports were also offered.
J. r. Winder, City Watermaster, made
a report on a petition that had previously
been referred for consideration, regarding
Watson & Co. and S. Seldom obtaining
water from the Ninth South street canal
for ice purposes. He recommended
favorable action regarding the matter,
with the understanding that the grant be
anulled if any damage to property re-
suited therefrom.
j. II. Moyle, the assistant city attor-
ney, presented contract with the D. &
K. u. Company relating to right of way
signed by the officers of the company,
but lacking the signature of the Mayor.
The head of the city was authorized to
attach his august autograph thereto.
This made the document complete, and
it was read and approved.
The Committee on Enrolment reported
that recent ordinance relating to the
levylng of special tax for putting down
a sidewalk on Third South street had
been enrolled, published and attested.
One thousand dollars was appropriated
to the contingent fund of the Street SUI
pervisor.
Council then adjourned for one week.

DIR. RussELL,s LOST FORTUNE.
EtVanishes Like n Beautiful Dream.
and the Doctor and His Friends
Are Left.

Some few weeks ago the DEMOCRAT
published an article relative to an alleged
fortune left to DR.. Russell, of this city,
and the havoc the doctor had created in
a certain Smith family. The affair at the
time created considerable talk, but was
finally lost sight of and forgotten by the
public. Not SO, however, by certain in
terested parties. An investigation in re-
lation to the alleged fortune has been
made, and the discoveries in the case
reflect anything but honor and integrity
upon Dr. Russell.
1t appears that F. S. Richards, Esq,
now in New York, was given the power
of attorney to investigate Dr. Russell's
claim, and after investigating the matter
thoroughly, sent the following statement
to Mr.. Moyle, his assistant in this CITY:
decree of the final distribution in the
Russell estate was made July 25th, 1885,
and the entire residue of the estate,
S34 ,645, was distributed in equal shares
of $S,661 each, namely, to Martha Rus
sell, Sarah Russell, Thomas Russell and
James Russell, who were adjudged by
the court to be the brothers and sisters of
the deceased. They were all of
England, three residing at Noting
ham and one at Sheffield l did
not even find the doctors name
among the claimants, who numbered
more than fifty. Mr.. Morris entered his
appearance for Charles William Russell,
Of New York City, and there was Will
liam Russell, 'ef Northam, N. Y, among
The claimants, but no one from Utah, and
40 other person but Charles William
Russell was represented by Mr.. Morris"
This statement, the authenticity of
which is vouched for, completely upsets
he claim of DIR. Russell in this city, and
shows him up in rather dubious light,
Is for long time past he has been gull
ng people in all parts of the city on the
'retense OF having fallen heir to an
immense fortune left him by relative in
england.

williams Takes the Foot Race.

About 8: 80 o'clock this morning some
OF the leading sporting element of Salt
Lake adjourned from the Walker House
in Ia conveyance to Liberty Park for the
purpose of witnessing the foot race for
$50 a side between Harry Williams, of
Pittsburg, and Rolla Tbbitts, of this city.
After the preliminaries between hackers
and racers had been arranged, both men
"'got off" from pistol shot, and pref
tier race for seventy-fve yards was never
seen in any country, Williams winning
the race and money by two feet. Tibbitts
was in fine condition, and it was thought
by all present that he would win. Will
liams is thought by some to be Johnson
or Harmon, the fast man from the East,
who ran with Kittleman the great. He
wears cowboy hat, sandy complexion,
and is of fine physique and stature. This
race adds additional interest to the one
between Williams and Reese which will
come off SATURDAY..

THOMPSON COMPANY IN "MIKADov
A Strong Ensemble and an Artistic
Presentation.

! The Thompson Opera Company will
give the first professional presentation in
Salt Lake City of ''The Mikado" at the
Salt Lake Theatre next Monday evening.
Of Gilbert & Sullivan's latest success our
amateurs have given us sufficient to whet
the public appetite, and the desire to see
what there really is in this charming
comic opera when done by professionals
will doubtless add greatly to the success
OF the Thompson Company's engage
ment here
The Peoria Journal, of November 9TH,
says of this company: The Thompson
Company is strong one, and it sings to
win. There are nine soloists in its ranks,
and thirty additional voices in the chorus,
and not weak spot in any of the parts.
The settings and costumes are rich and
strictly in keeping with japanese manners
and customs, and the artists are all
thoroughly drilled in the posing and
attitudes fashionable in the e.Lily King
dom" The opera itself is remarkably
strong. The music is brisk, and has a
piquancy and a staccato ring about it that
chimes in wonderfully well with the
grotesque costumes and japanese charac-
tiers. 1t is noticeable, too, that Sullivan's
genius as composer OF sacred song,
which is, after all, his great forte, is more

opinion is general that ''The Mikado," as
given by this company, is the finest
comic opera this city has ever seen.
