MORMON UPRISING
REPORTED AT SALT LAKE CITY.
Troops Concentrating at Fort DouElass-rhs
Excitement Blowing oVsr--wAShluEten
onIeiAlS Have NO Fear Of an Out-
broak-Hhat Caused the Trouble.

OMAHA, SET., Dec. 5.-it has Just been
learned here that there are grave fears of
Mormon outbreak in Utah if it has not
already occurred. A battery of twelve
guns and 400 men from Fort Omaha, the
entire garrison, with the exception Of ten
men went west to-day with orders to
make all speed possible. The track was
cleared and the company notified by the
Government to side.traCk mail trains for
forty-eight hours, if uecc sssasy iu order
not to delay special train bearing the
troops. Another train was started to.
night TO take the troops at Fort Sidney
and other points to the scene OF the dis.
turbancc. All the troops 10 the depart
ment OF the Platte and Missouri are under
marching orders, and i! is learned thasI
orders have been issuei for all troops east
of the Mississippi, with the exception of
ten men at each post be transferred
west Of that river at once. Exactly
what the situation is II is i'm
possible to end out, but Is stated the gar.
rison at Camp Douglas il hemmed ia and
must be relieved at once or ii will be too
late. The greatest secrecy is maintained
in military and railroad circles here, there
fore it is impossible to obtain reliable in
formation just at this time. General Me-
Cook, with his entire command, is hurry
ing to the scene aud the battery and gar
EisoB OF Fortress Monroe are now en- route.
All this is learned from one who Is in a
position to know, and also that Crook and
the commander at Fort Douglass aak that
10000 men be sent to Utah Immediately,
and that reiniorcements must reach here
by Monday night. These preparations
portend trouble Of serious nature. The
trouble is said to have originated ia the
shooting Of . Mormon elder by the United
States Marshal while defending his lie
aud his prisoners. The mormon papers,
by their seditious and inaammatory utter.
ances have famed the flames into fierce
blaze OF fury.

cussing the probable outcome Of to-day

like yenturing a prediction a. to who

would be honofed by the minority, and
this proved to be the case.

THE PARKERsBUnG posroFFICE.
An Election for p. M.-How Senator Cam.
den IS ReGteged.


don Is BeGiegod.
Judging from all reports Senator Cam
den must have had hard time last week;
life must have been burden to him. He
stopped at Parkersburg on his way home
from Indianapolis, where he had been as
a member of the Senate committee to
attend the iuneral OF the late Vice Presi-
dent, for the purpose Of spending short
time at his home before taking up his res
idence for the winter in Washington. He
may have wanted quiet time, but il he
did he failed 10 get it. It appears that the
resignation Of Postmaster Scott started
anew the fight for the office which had
been supposed forever settled by the Sc
lection OF ALI. n. Williams, who recently
ran for Sheriff, blew in a considerable
amount OF hard earned cash and was
dumped in the long run. 1t appears fur
thsr, that the other fellows after thinking
the matter over again, failed 10 sympa-
thizs with Williams. and each made up
his mind that the Office must be his. The
arrival homo Of the Senator was the signal
for the grand entr(e. There was very little
glitter and dignity about it. II was a wild,
madrush for the Senator and very little time
was given him for reflection. No matter
to whom he might decide to award the
prize, an uncomfortable lot OF scalping
knives were sure to be flashed. There
was Williams with papers in his pocket
that as good as promised him the plum,
and there was Horner with half promises,
past party services and above all a rattling
newspaper TO back him up, and there were
others, who, with their friends, imagined
themselves equally well fixed, and every
thing considered, the situation was not q
pleasant one for Mr.. Camden. He finally
called 10 his aid the city Democratic E1ecu-
tive Committee and it was decided that an
election should be held and the people de-
eide whom they wanted,for postmaster, and
now, it is said, all the candidates damn
him. The election is to be held Saturday,
January 8. All qualified voters, Rapub-
licans as well as Democrats, are to be al
lowed to vote. The committee in its an
nouncemsnt names A. n. Williams, R. E.
Horner, P. D. Gambill and ]. @. Nash as
the candidates to be voted for. The resig.
nation Of Mr.. Scott takes effect February
l. Between now and the time for the
election lively time may be looked for
ward to in Parkersburg.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 6.-The War Depart

from It's officials in Utah, regarding the
very unsettled condition OF affairs in that
territory, growing out OF the enforcement
OF tho laws against polygamy as to
cause come uneasiness but no
alarm. The recent shooting OF a
Mormon by Udited States Marshal
created great deal OF excitement among
the Mormons, and some apprehension was
felt at Salt Lake City that there would be
an uprising among them. A battery OF
artillery was recently ordered from Omaha
to Fort Douglass, which is situated few
miles from Salt Lake City. This move
ment, however, was no! particularly on
account OF any far OF a Mormon re-
bellion, but has been in contemplation
for some time. The force now at Fort
Douglass consists Of full regiment OF in
faHtry and battery Of artillery, and is
under command Of General MCCook. In
the even, OF trouble in Utah all the troops
III the department Of the Platte, consisting
Of about 5000 men, could be concentrated
at Fort Douglass in q very few hours. No
serious trouble, however, ii apprehended
by any Of the officials.

the Nationalist have been returned. The
constituencies yet to be polled are % in

Scotland and II in Ireland. A careful

dent Of the places yetto be polled makes it
almost certain that the next House OF
Commons will bs composed OF 33l Lib
erals, 255 Tories and 81 Nationalists,
making total membership Of go. Lord
Harrington, addressing meeting at Mad
oCk to-day, asserted that the attitude
Of the Tories on the Irish question
was virtually tantamount TO accepting
Parnell's help on the Irish leaders terms.
"rhe Tories, said his lordship, "by their
completely aud silence allied themselves
TO the enemies Of England" Lord Hart
ington then went into q brief review OF
the outlook. asserting that he failed to
see, by even the most liberal estimates,
how the Conservatives could hope to seat
more than 260 OF their candidates at the
outside. "Tne Liberal majority" !" he said,
"might not be able to overcome the com
binel vote OF the Conservatives and Par.
nellites, but British patriotism would
eventually assert itself and place the direc-
tion OF the nations affairs in the hands OF
those who had its interests and the vel
fare of the people at heart"
