THE CATHOLIC COLLEGE.
Its Immediate Erection COntem-
plated by Father Scanlan.

An item in an evening paper, stating
that the Catholics had purchased a
piece of ground on the corner of Fifth
East and Second South, induced a HER
AID reporter to inquire as to the cor
rectness of the report. Rev. Mr.. Seaman
stated that such was not the case. The
Catholics had not made any recent pur-
chase of land, but had owned the full
lot ON the corner of Fourth East and
Second South since 1881. On this lot the
reverend gentleman had been for some
time having a large quantity of rock
hauled, with the ultimate intention OF
building college there. The structure
he contemplates erecting will cost in
the neighberhood of $50, 900, and will be,
when finished, used as a college for
grown up boys and young men, con-
Quoted as a boarding and day school
on the same principle as the st.
Mary's Academy tor girls and young
ladies. The plans, which are now
being got out by Architect Monheim,
are expected to be completed in a week
or so, and, if accepted, building will
commence Immediately. The college
will be constructed of brick, with a rock
basement. The lot was purchased in
1881, from Mrs. Savers, and has a 1876
feet north front and $50 feet east front;
is an excellent location and the col
lege when erected will be an
addition to the buildings of the city
that must enhance the value of sur
rounding property.

BURGLARS NABBED.
Effective Work by the Police of
This City.

One day last week, burglary was
committed in Ogden, at the establish
ment of Mr.. Anderson, tailor, and
some $500 worth of cloth taken by the
thieves. The officials of the Junction
City telephoned Marshal Phillips, CIV
ing information Of the robbery, and
also description of man they suspect
ed; but no such man as was described
came down on the train that evening,
and it was presumed from that fact that
the northern police had misplaced their
suspicious. This circumstance threw
the force of this city off the scent for the
time being. But lookout was keptup
by the officers and by close watching and
persistent following APP "tumbled" to
couple of strangers, who moved about
suspiciously and had the appearance OF
low fellows and thieves. Marshal
Phillips boys" watched the pair for
three or four days, day and night, and
finally ran across a place where they
had offered some cloth for sale, and an
other place where they had sold some,
and arrested them. They gave their
names as John Keogh and John Rand.
Marshal Ballantyne was notified, and
that gentleman came to the city, and
the two cloth hookers will be trans
ferred to Ogden this morning. The
efficiency of the police of Salt Lake City,
as detectives, has been proven lately to
be first-class, their captures in nearly
every case being followed by conviction
and Imprisonment. Especially so is this
the case with bad characters from the
country towns and cities. and if re-
ciprocal energy on the part of the
police of places outside the metropolis
is manifested with the same success.
foot-pads, pickpockets, burglars, gar
rioters and tramps will find Utah hot
place to visit to ply their vocatlons, and
give it wider berth than heretofore.
