Moro ASos. the Fourth an U.ah.

The Utah papers furnish full particulars OF
the way the Mormon church put the flags on
the public buildings at half mast upon the
Fourth. Mayor Sharp, who appears TO be
in sympathy with the church, did not hear,
he says, OF the half mAsted flags until II
O'Clock, "Nhen / was so astonishsd that
conld have been knocked over with a feath.
or" This RstoniahmFnt, however, took the
form OF ordering the flag on the city hall TO
be taken down, and pistol and blood talk
were rssorted TO to get the flag up in the
afternoon. One OF the men who resented
the insult 10 the flag was an old confederate
soldier, who said; II helped to monkey with
that hag once, and tried AZ hard ~ any man
TO tear it down, b ut could not do it, 1t is
the flag OF my country now, and am r6 ady
10 fight for it," An old Union soldier, past
the fighting age, broke into tears when he
saw the flag at hall. mast and finally said, ~
will no longer live in a territory where aliens
and traitors can with impunity desecrAte the
flag" When . committee OF citizens called
upon City MArabAl Phillips to demand that
the flag be raised, Charley Grow, policeman,
went down to his pocket for his gun" when
one of the committee threatened to use force,
aud replied; "Pull It down IL you think you
can, or pull il up and see II you don't get
hurt" Things became very interesting about
that time, but Grow disappeared. and in q
short time the mayor first pulled the flag
down, aud then raised II TO the top OF the
staff. The policeman is now called Beast
Grow by the gentiles, aud Charley Grow the
the hero, by the Mormon saints, or, as q
reporter pute 1t, the "emblematic bird Of the
Mormon church" During the week preeed.
ing the Fourth slips were sent TO the various
Mormon papers containing cut Of q coffin
and the inscription; "Died, Liberty, on July
4, 1886" Among the numerous instances Of
reported insults was that Of saint, who
took smAll flag, spat upon 1t and stamped
II in the dust with his feet The young Nor
mons were not at all in sympathy with these
impOtent expressions of senile ehagrin, and
It Is claimed that the split in the church has
peFoeptibly widened since the Fourth.

till June 1890. Az this term OF the court
the case OF Bird and his comPsnious was
taken up jackson was permitted 10 become
stats's evidence, aud was used as q witness.
The grand jury, OF whom Deacon Titcomb
was foreman, found q bill against Bird, as
principal, for the murder OF Oonnor on the
high seas, and against Hanson for being pres.
ent and aiding and abetting him therein.
The prisoners we're arraigned at the bar Of
the court and pleading not getty, the court
assigned them counsel aud prepared for the
trial, which commenced on Friday morning
SO strong was the public excitement on the
occasion and 30 great was the crowd assem-.
bIsd At the trial, that the court adjourned 10
the meeting house Of the First parish, the
desk Of which Was II that time occupied by
the Rev. Thomas Smith. the fret minister
settled In Falmouth. Deacon Chase, OF Pep
persli, nov Sloo, was foreman OF the jury.
The cause was heard and argued on both
sides in due form. The Jury retired, and IN
the evening Of the same day came in with
their verdict. Bird was placed at the bar,
and the names Of the jury were called over.
The clerk then put the question: f-.i-
what say you, Mr.. Foreman Is Bird,
the prisoner At The bar, guilty or not guilty 4"
"Guilty 7" replied the foreman, in low
and solemn tone.
Bird dropped his bead aud sailed back up
on the seat. Although he had no reason 10
anticipate different verdict, yet he did not
eeem 10 realize It's awful import until the
sound fell upon his startled ear His brain
reolsd f0r q moment, aud darkness was gath.
eFinR before his eyes bat tears came TO his
relief he hid bic face in = handkerchief and
Wept like q child .. ..
When the same question was put TO the
jury In reference 70 Hanson, the reply was,
Not guilty" ' H
On Saturday morning the court met again,
and the prisoner vas brought in 10 receive
his sentence. Mr.. Aynla, Ons OF the prison
er's counsel, made q motion in arrest OF jadg-
msnt, because the latitude and longitude OF
the sea where the crime was committed we're
not named In the indictment. The court
OverFuled this motion, and proceeded 10 pro
nounco aentsnco Of death. ff U-H
As this was the first capital conviction in q
court Of this republic after the federal con-
concluded, on that account, to petition the
President OF the United States for his par
don, and thus make another aud last effort 10
save his life. Accordingly, q copy of the in
dictment and all the proceedings in the ease
was forwarded TO General Washington, then
residing st New York But the President,
with that sound wisdom and clear sighted
ness for which he was 30 remarkable, de-
elined interfering with the sentsnce OF the
court, either by pardon or FeprieVe; and that
sentence vas executed npOn Bird by Marshal
Dearborn and his assistants on the last Friday
Of the same month Of June, 1870. = ROerJ

some remarkable instances of the effect OF
oil upon a heavy sea are given by the Ameri-
can Bureau OF Navigation. The captain Of
steamship Napier reports that In January
last, while In mid Atlantic, he encountered
q hurricane 80 violent that the ship could not
be run before IL without danger. One heavy
sea broke over her stern, doing great damage,
and then recourse was had TO oil. Two can.
vas bags full were lowered and instantly the
oil spread to a distance OF about twenty feet
from the ships side, spreading out like fan
in her wake. The effect was TO at once stop
the sea from breaking. Not another drop Of
water was shipped, and the steamer was not
even delayed by the gale. Two steamers In
the company OF the Napier were lost. In an
other case the steamer Ohillingham's decks
had been swept by heavy seas for forty eight
hours, when the use OF oil was resOrted to-
and the expenditure Of two quarts OF oil In
four hours aubdued the waves and the ship
became comfortable.
