THE CLERKS HALF-HOLIDAY.
Favorable Reception of the Move.
ment, and a Successful I2e-
suit Expected.

A large number of those interested in
the half-holiday movement now being
urged in this city, met at the City Hall
last night to listen to the report of the
committee appointed to visit the business
firms for the purpose of ascertaining
how they feel toward the movement.
The committee met with no opposition in
a direct way, but found some diversity of
opinion as to the most expedient day to
ask for. A majority of the merchants
are in favor OF selecting Thursday for the
half-holiday, and accordingly committee
consisting of the following gentlemen
was appointed to prepare and present to
the merchants in the city a petition for
their signatures: j. M. Young, Harry
Field, w. j. Beatie, James H. Poulton,
Samuel Brown, HI. Heath, w. A. Need
ham, George Arbuckle, John Lewis, W.
c.. Farrow and j. Bean.
Mr. Naisbitt, chairman of the half-holi-
day movement, stated to q DEMOCRAT re-
porter this morning that everything gave
assurance to all in favor of the scheme
that it will be established.
In Europe the custom is universal in
all factories, foundries, banks, and like in
stitutions. Here it has been simply pre-
scented to the wholesale establishments,
and every one approached in a thorough
canvass expressed willingness to con-
form to the move in question. The public
must sustain the movement, of course :;
but Market Row and green groceries,
having perishable goods, may be expected
to keep open-besides, they employ no
help to speak of, and live, many of them,
in the rear or on the floor above their
stores.
We believe the clerks and other en-
ployes will have their wishes acceded@ ;,
by the business men of the town, n co

BUGGIEs IN COLLISION.
several Ladies Badly Shaken Up on
Main street To-Day.

This forenoon at IL 80 O'Clock several
farm teams and carriages were standing
at right angles with the road in front of
the stores on either side of Barnes &
Davis. Miss White came driving down
the street and collided the wheel of her
carriage with that OF Henry Dinwoodey's,
occupied at the time by his aunt, Mrs.
Ellen Dinwoodey, and small 5-year-old
son. The latter conveyance was COM
pletely upset, pinning Mrs. Dinwoodey
and the child underneath, and as the
lady is in very feeble health, it was
with difficulty that she and the
boy were extricated by the aid
of Mr. Dunford and others standing by.
She was taken to Moore & Aliens drug
store, where Dr. Potter and others made
her as comfortable as possible, until Mr.
Dinwoodey arrived and conveyed her to
his residence in a carriage. The lady
complained of injuries abont her back
and side, and is likely to be laid up for
some time. The boy received nothing
worse than big scare.
But this was not all. Right beside the
Dinwoodey buggy two young ladies, one
about 20 and the other IA years of age,
named Gladhill, of Sugar House ward,
were seated in a top carriage behind a
fine, fiery bay colt, entirely unfamiliar
with smash-ups Their buggy was
caught in the wake, tipped over, and the
occupants spilled out like a basket Of
chips The horse began series of
plunges and kicks that made kindling-
wood of the shafts and called into use the
united strength of ha.f-dozen men to
save other teams from joining the melee.
The damages in the wind-up were pretty
much confined to the horses hind legs
and that part Of the buggy with which
they came in contact. The young ladies

A TES.CEST TELEPHONE TROUBLE
A subscriber Kicks Against the Last
New Isule of the Company

EorroR DeMoCRAT: - The telephone
managers here seem to be always striving
to make it as unpleasant as possible Tor
their subscribers and patrons. In the
first place, they have new rules every
month, and subscribers are bound to fol-
low them or be refused connection !;
they claim in every case that it is bene-
fetal and will greatly improve the SER
vice This may, or may not be true
The rates of telephones are about double
what they should be, bnt in support OF
this, they cite what the rates are in some
of the cities in the East; that is, picking
out those places in which the rates are
high and not making mention OF the ones
where the rates are low in comparison.
Their last freak or fancy is to request
the operators to ask OF every strange voice
that comes to the telephone if he be a
subscriber, and, if not, that they will be
charged 10 cents if they use the tele-
phone This is done invariably, or con-
nection refused; which is not only a
hindrance to the service (for it takes up
the time OF the operators, but it is great
annoyance to subscribers, for often a per-
son is refused connection when he is
telephoning for the interest of
a subscriber Contracts should be
made with subscribers, and while
they lease their instruments they
should be held responsible for any abuse
of their privileges, and no person should
be refused a connection if he asks
for it as they require. If the public
telephones were placed in various
places about the city they would get
most of the transient business.
There is no other telephone exchange
outside of the Rocky Mountain Com
pany's district that we have heard OF
which refuses these connections, and it
would not be done here if they did not
have monopoly of the business.
