THE GRAND JURY
Came into court and reported that the
case of the United States against Charles
unlawful cohabitation, is under investl-
CATION before the duly impanneled Grand
Jury. The testimony tending to show
that some seven years ago the defendant
White married and took to wife one Mar
garet Hamilton, still living, and that dur
ing the past three years White has been
living and cohabiting with his wife and
one Elizabeth Ann Starkey in Salt Lake
county, Elizabeth Starkey was to-day
called and sworn by the Grand Jury and
asked the following questions:
Q.-Are you married to c. l.. White?
Q.-Have you at any time within three
years last past, at the County of Salt
Lake, in the Territory of Utah, gone
through any marriage ceremony with
Charles L. White?
Q.-Have you during the last two years
at said county lived with c. L. White as
his wife?
Q.-Have you at any time within the
past two years sustained the relation Of
wife to Charles L. White?
But to answer said questions, or either
Of them, the said witness, Elizabeth Ann
Starkey, declined and refused so to an
swer. Wherefore the Grand Jury re-
spectfully request the Honorable Court
to advise and instruct the witness, Miss
Starkey, whom they produced before
Judge Zane to know whether or not the
questions aforesaid were proper questions
to be propounded to her, and whether
she is in duty bound to answer them.
The papers sent to Judge Zane were
signed by Morris r. Evans.
Judge Zane proceeded to ask some very
| reasonable questions, which Mrs. Starkey
absolutely refused to answer. She was
kindly counseled by the Court, but to no
avail. She said no one had advised her
or used influence to keep her quiet, but
she had nothing to say. Mrs. Starkey
was committed again for contempt

It can cause it's father to be insulted by
every second-class clearinghouse keeper

fortunate for the children.
1t can make itself look like tiend just
at the moment when mamma wants to
show "what pretty baby she has
It can look its father innocently in the

good coat that he has got in the world.
It can make an old bachelor in the
room adjoining use language that if
uttered on the street would get him in
the penitentiarY for two years.
It can 90 from the farthest end OF the
room to the foot of the stairs in the hall

Just step into the closet and out again.
1t can go to sleep "like little angel"

monest home the brightest spot on earth.
1t can tighten the burden of a loving
mothers life by adding to them; it can
flatten its dirty little face against the

tired father can see it as picture before
he rounds the corner. Yes, babies are
great institutions, particularly ones own
baby.

Changing the Gauge.

The working parties on the Utah 6,
Northern railway in Deer Lodge valley
are replacing the narrow-gauge with
standard-guage bridges OF the most sub
stantial pattern. We learn this is being
done along the entire line to Pocatello.
In the absence OF any specific informa-
ton the only construction we can place on
this action is, that the Utah & Northern
Railway is to be made standard-gauge
from Pocatello to Garrison In fact it is
not altogether a surmise that the work is
already commenced and that the bridge
widening will be followed by widening
the grade, replacing the standard-gauge
ties, and resetting the line to standard
gauge next season. The traffic is so great
over this connecting road between the
two standard-gauge transcontinental
routes that the expense and delay OF
gauge transfer must be obviated -Ner

which they supposed was caused by riot
in this city, brought about by Sunday
mornings outrage. One man at Bounti-

greatly agitated; fearing that his family
might come to harm if an outbreak had
occurred. He was only pacified when
the real cause of the noise and firing be-
came known. TWAS produced by parties
participating in shooting match on the
lake. The discharges echoing loud and
long, led the people to believe that
trouble had broken out in the city.

4 MINT SENSATION.
Discovery OE IA Secret Tunnel Esusa-
ming Towards ti,o San Fran
cisco Branch, Mint.

THE San Francisco CAL OF Friday morn
ing contains 4 sensational account OF an
alleged attempt TO rob the United States
branch mint by means OF underground
workings. According to this narrative,
the Would-bc robbers attempted to gain
access to the main sewer on Mission street
and follow it up to the mint, where they
intended to run Il tunnel from the sewer,
penetrate the basement wall and thus
gain access to the-vaults. A few months
since two men rented the basement of
the building ut us Mission street, and
Immediately took possession thereof.
They paid Il months rent in advance,
and for some time nothing was thought Of
the matter. At length, however, the
curiosity OF the neighbors was aroused by
the apparent secrecy with which thanew-
corners conducted their business. When
asked what they were doing, they said
they were working ON an Invention. :"
Recently both men disappeared, leaving
rent unpaid, and the door of the basement
was burst open by the proprietor. It was
then found that tunnel, foot and q hall
square, mad been dug under the street to
dlstunce of sixteen feet, in the direction
OF the main sewer. The Cal says the
case was put into the hands of detective,
but nothing further could be discovered.

died few hours afterward. The par
ticulars by telephone are as follows:
Lingreen was crossing the track near the
smelling works, when the side projection
OF the engine caught him in the side,
throwing him into the air. The unfor-
tunate man was about So years old, and
is spoken OF rs very industrious and
gentlemanly person. He was buried to-
day at Murray by his friends and ac-
quaintances. No blame has been attached
to any one, although it is stated that the

~ThOu Art Passing Hence ;"

Ii is with sincere regret We learn that
Mr.. H. G. Whitney, local editor OF the
Herald, is soon to depart for New Zea-
land on a mission. AS the prophesies
are being fulfilled, it is generally believed
that Macaulay's New Zealander will re-
turn with the gentleman, and that that
gentleman, in place OF going to London
to sit on broken arch Of London Bridge
to sketch the ruins OF st. Paul's, will sit
upon a broken beam of the Tribune
building and sketch the ruins of the Fed
eral Court House. Already the Island of
New Zealand is said to be in state of
commotion. owing to the working OF the
spirit about to visit it. 1t is comforting
thought to know that the New Zealanders
are cannibals at times
