LOCAL JOTS.


Storms east of Ogden "downed" the tele
graph wires this afternoon and cut off most
of the usual press report.
II would be we'll for people to be on the
lookout for burglars, and not to become too
absorbed in the shooting of Saturday.
Since the DEMOCRAT called for the macad-
aniizing of Main street, the cry has been
taken up and is becoming quito popular.
Keep the cry up until Main street is macad-
amized or paved.
A dramatic company made upof Salt Lake
talent, under the management, of Harry
tonight. "a Sea OF Ice'' is suggestive of
very cold day, etc.
The rise in lead is great encouragement
to the miners in the lead camps of Utah. and
there is now more activity in the old dis
tricts than has been manifest for years past.
II looks like old times
Judge Speirs last night united as husband
and wife II. @. Hansen and Miss Ingra L.
Peterson. both of this city. The young
couple begin their new life with the best
wishes of their many friends.
There will be a meeting of the Firemen's
Mutual Aid Association at the Firemen's
at 1880. The president desires full attend
ance, as there will be business of import
ance.
The fire alarm was sounded about noon
to-day and the brigade called to house on
Fourth East street, between First and Sec
ond South; but the fire turned out to be no
ire-the SCOT Of a chimney burning out
being all there was to it.
The Descret Ne,os woke up long enough
last night to remark that "Thc Mikado" bad
been overestimated in this city. Having de-
nF ha
NeiUs should now turn over and resume its
lewd and lascivious SAUNDERS.
The Critic, published by Shelley tS Long,
entered the family of Salt Lake critics last
evening, and was distributed rs the pro-
gramme at the Opera House. 1t will be pub
lished three times week, and devoted to
theatrical, social and sporting events.
Leavitt's All Star Company will play a
three-night engagement mt the Salt Lake
Iheater next week, commencing on the 9th
inst. Music, marionettes, sketch artists and
comedy constitute the entertainment. After
that comes Alice Harrison in "Hot Water"
The Mormon people and their leaders
understand their business. They know
which is the wisest course to pursue. They
understand the frailty and vulnerability of
the enemy.-Ogdet Herald. Certainly they
do, SO why deny that "frailty'' and Fanny
Davenport go together
Mrs. Wilson, an old offender before the
police court bar of justice, was fined $25
drunk, profane and disorderly. When the
Judge pronounced the fine the old lady
heaved a sigh like woman getting n tooth
pulled, who is determined not to show the
operation hurts.
There has been n bulletin board put out in
front of McMurrin's residence in the Eighth
ward 1t gives his condition every few
tin showed the following: Pulse 10, temper
ature 9S, and respiration 1S. He passed
comfortable night, and all the symptoms at
present are favorable for recovery.
The virtuous Salt Lake Herald thinks " it
cannot be the vice of prostitution that the
Federal officials are DESTROYS of checking in
their efforts to convict the Davenport wo-
man." Does the Herald think that it was
the vice of "lewd and lascivious" that the
city officials were DESTROYS of checking in
their efforts to convict Yandercook, Yearian,
ct alp Has the Herald got any opinion in
that matter 7?
The stay of proceedings in the Hopt case
granted by Judge Zane gives the prisoner n
new lease of life, and not until the Supreme
Court of the Territory has reviewed the
transcript in the case and passed upon the
exceptions, will it be known whether the
sentence passed will be carried out. Had
the execution taken place, as per respite,
Hopt would have gone to Hades about 10
O'Clock this morning.
These women may have hired to do us
they have done, but it is an indisputable
faat that they have inveigled no pure and
innocent man.-ViItuOus Salt Lake Herald.
The italics are the DEMooRAT's, and are sig
nihcant, as the Herald claims to be the city
organ, and has right along denied the soft
impeachment that the city was in with the
prostitutes. In an unwary moment the
Herald has given "the snap away.
The foot race which comes off tomorrow
afternoon between Harry Williams (alias
Billy Hough), of Pittsburg, and Dave Reese,
OF Logan, promises to draw u large crowd,
as this-like their last race of a week ago
has every appearance of genuineness. The
conditions of the race are that Williams
allows Reese u yards start in 100 yards.
The stakes are $l25 a side, with the privilege
of raising them to $3.50. The time and place
have not yet heen decided ON.
1t is said that Young and Solomon went
on Fanny Dayenport's bond yesterday mere
ly to help out the police, and that they did
80 because the end justities the means. The
action of the police in the affair was to give
the woman show. Nice business for police
officers seeking the protection of a public
prostitute, and to give her Il show when she
is brought to account for keeping an i'm
moral house. The whole business indicates
which way the wind blows.
The Ogden Herald says the DEMOCRAT lies
when 1t intimates that the editor of that
paper wrote the alleged letter from the peni-
Tertiary republished in the DEaoCRAT last
Wednesday. 10 be called liar by fellow
whose hypocrisy is co-eXtensiye with the
Mormon ducats he receives, whose heart il
blacker than he articles he writes, and who
will be kicked out of hell for the same crime
that Tom Pepper was, is really very serious
charge. In fact, such little things annoy us.
Fanny Dayenport's case came up this
afternoon in the Commissioners Court.
Examination was waived, and she was bound
over in the sum of $l,5Coto await the action
of the Grand Jury. Some tall rustling and
persuasive talking had to be done before
bondsmen could be found to sign the new
bond. Finally X. B. Young and Alfred Solo
mon consented to go ON the new bond, and
We're accepted. These two men are the same
that went security yesterday. The witnesses
in the case were all excused from further
attendance ON the Commissioners court.
