THE PIERCE ASSIGNMENT
Its Validity being Tested in the Third
District Court.

The case Of T. C. Grifiths VS. Z. A
Ireland came up trial in Third District
Court this morning. Considerable i'm
portance is attached to this case, as the
validity of the famous G. NJ.
Pierce assignment is to be tested.
1t will be remembered that after PIERCE
made his assignment to T. G. Grifffths,
Messrs. Walker Bros, Sholes, Scribner
and Redall, creditors who were not in
Guided in the various preferred lists, dis
puted the validity of the assignment and
levied an attachment On the goods. Mar
shall Ireland replevined the stock, and
the assignee was compelled to furnish
bonds in the sum of 10000, Simon Bam-
berger and Nicholas Groesbeck being the
sureties. The present nit is an outgrowth
of this matter and, as stated above, will
determine the validity of the assignment.
The amount involved is about S., 1000.
Sheeks & Rawlins conduct the case for
plaintiff and Messrs. Gilchrist, Brown,
Denny and Kaighn for the defendant.

THE BENEFIT.
Miss Hitchcock HOnOred by Crowded
House.

Never, since the gifted and charming
Emma Abbott held forth at the Walker
Opera House, has that building been filled
with such a crowd as was present at the
Ida Hitchcock benefit last evening.
Every seat in the lower circles was occu-
pied and the audience was as great in en-
thusiasm as in numbers. Following so
closely after Professor Careless mammoth
concert some trepidation was felt before
hand as to the success of the affair, and
the gentlemen who worked so tirelessly
for its success are to be congratulated on
the signal manner in which they achieved
it. The programme-while not filled eX-
actly as advertised, which is very seldom
the case with such entertainments-was
an excellent one. 1t opened with very
well rendered quartette selection by
Messrs. Krouse, Van Praag, Weihe and
Rohrdam, who subse quently closed the
entertainment The second num-
Der was filed by Miss Ida Hitch
cock with the recitation Damon
and Pythias This, We believe, is the
first opportunity the general public has
been given to hear Miss Hitchcock, and
her wonderful talents were fully appre-
ciated by the audience Miss Hitchcock
carries herself with an easy grace and
self-possession that is wonderful in one
of her years, and her Evolutionary talents
will sometime give her more than a local
famo. She achieved her greatest sue
cess last evening in "Jane Con-
quest" and was recalled a number of
times. Miss Jennie Hawley, who pos
sesses a voice of great sweetness and no
inconsiderable power, also made
her first appearance last evening
The Patience sextette has been
repeatedly given before the Salt Lake
public, and we think the rendition OF last
evening was hardly as perfect as the same
singers have given it. Mr.. Robert Cor
linski and Mrs. j. Leviberg both filled
numbers Mrs. Leviberg's voice seemed
to be slightly affected by a cold, but her
encore selection was well rendered. Pro-
lessor Weihe's violin solos and Professor
Krouse's piano selections made the pro-
gramme complete. Prof. Weihe, as usual,
was twice recalled.
Although we have not been given the
figures, handsome sum must have been
realized last evening, and no one is more
deserving than she to whom the benefit

THE TRIUMPH COMPANY.
A New Mining Enterprise with One
Million Capital.

Salt Lake seem to have mania for
forming mining companies, in fact this
city appears to be the head centre of all
mining operations in large scope of
country.
The latest organization is that of the
Triumph Mining company, articles of
agreement of which have been filed with
the county clerk. The incorporators are
]. c. Conklin, Boyd Park, j. o. Swift
and F. O. Howe of Salt Lake, and l. 1.
Lewis and J. Pinkham of Ketchum, Ida
no. The officers are: J. G. Conklin,
president: Boyd Park, vice president
and treasurer; F. o. Howe, secretary.
The capital stock of the company is
81 100000, divided into 10000 shares OF
$40 each. The main Office and principal
place of business will be Salt Lake City.
The property which the company pro-
poses to operate consists of three claims
in the Warm Springs Mining District,
Idaho, and is near the famous Parker
mine. The mines are said to be very
promising and are being worked by a
number of men and have been worked all
winter. Considerable ore is now ready
for shipment, and the incorporators are
confident they have big thing. We hope
that regular shipments from the Triumph
may soon be recorded.

TERRITORIAL ASYLUM.
A Fine Institution for the Care of
UtahS Demented.
Its Cost, Dimensions, Arrangement and
Other Details.

A Provo correspondent gives some in
teresting items concerning the new Ter
ritorial Asylum, located near the base of
the range of mountains east of that city,
and which will be ready for occupancy in
about month For the erection of the
asylum the Territorial Legislature made
an appropriation of SOC, 900, and from this
fund about one-third of the building has
been completed. Other appropriations
are expected from the coming Legisla-
lures, and in the course of a few years
the building will be entirely completed,
when it will certainly rank as one of the
finest institutions of its kind in the
west. The longitudinal section of the
present wing is 140 feet long by 90 wide,
and transverse section on the south is
80 feet long by "a wide. The estimated
cost is $3.50, 900. 1t is an exact pattern of
the famous Asylum of Michigan, and will
have every modern improvement. The
building will be lighted by electric light.
The water for culinary purposes is furn
ished by a spring which is 500 feet from
the building, and large reservoir $50
feet away. Pipes are laid from the spring
and reservoir, and the water is carried to
all parts of the building; the flow is suf-
ficient to water the grounds Immediately
surrounding the asylum, and all that
would be necessary in case of fire. The
building, however, is considered fire.
proof There are 14S rooms in the wing
that is now built; and the floors are of the
celebrated Georgia pine. The heating APP
paratus is wonderful piece of scientific
work. Dr. Benedict and three profess
sional plumbers the East say there
IS no building west of the Mississippi
river that is plumbed more accurately
than this. A contract has been made
with the Provo Wooden Manufacturing
Company to furnish blankets necessary
j. H. Burton deserves great credit, as
overseer and architect; for, from the foun-
dalton to the last touch of the paint
brush, the work is creditably done.

MOLECULAR MATTERS.
The Bells Bear Excites No Apprehen'
sion.


A DEMOCRAT reporter encountered enc
of the spirits of the Molecular Telephone
company this morning, but was told there
was nothing new" in the matter
eve have not sent for instruments
vet :" said the gentleman, "but expect TO
as soon as Mr.. Brown arrives from Ogden.
We have received numerous applications
from subscribers"
els there any truth in the rumor that
the existence of the Molecular company
is dependant upon the decision OF New
York court ?"
"None whatever. That is all nom
sense. 1t is true suit brought by the
Bell company is pending against us there,
and, 1 believe, an early decision is looked
for, but if it is decided against us, which
we think improbable, it will be carried
through the higher courts and decision
from the Supreme Court of the United
States will not be reached in less than
two years, at the least. The policy of'the
Bell Company of Boston is for its subor-
dinate companies to bring no injunction
suits against us while the case is pending
between the present companies. The
case will not be decided in less than two
wears, and we are confident the decision
will be in our favor then"
"What are the main features OF this
suit?"
ooh, the Bell Company claims an in
fringement, of course. They claim to
have monopoly on the principle OF
transmitting speech by electricity and
that all improvements ON their method
are infringements. We claim that the
principle is not patentable and is not COW
ered by the letters patent secured by Mr..
Bell. The local Bell companies have
held this suit up for warning purposes
everywhere that Molecular exchanges
have been established, but the scarecrow
has been Intellectual in every instance.
'In what cities is the Molecular system
in use ?"
Exchanges are in operation in Boston,
New York, Philadelphia, Pittsburg, Cleve-
land, Ogden, Los Angeles and San Fran
cisco. In San Francisco over one thou
sand applications have been received for
instruments, but the Bell Company have
the exclusive right of way through the
streets. and the Molecular system cannot
be put in operation until a franchise
through the streets is secured"
"There is no question, then, but the
Salt Lake exchange will be put in opera
tion? p"
'None whatever There is nothing to
prevent us from running for two years, at
the least, even should every court decide
against us, which is highly improbable

REAL ESTATE AND FINANCE.
A Rush for Small Farms-MOney Get
ting Cheaper.

This is the season of the year when
that portion of the population who We In
other peoples houses are sklrmlshlng
around in search of more desirable dwell
ings, and little information on real es-
tate matters will be read with interest. A
DEMOCRAT reporter this morning called al
the office of Messrs. White & Smith, who
probably do as heavy business IN real
estate and money loaning as any similar
firm in the city. Mr.. Smith, the erst-
while active and rustling member OF the
firm, was helplessly reclining in an easy
chair, being temporarily disabled by a
severely sprained ankle, and discovering
the victim was entirely at his mercy, the
reporter quizzed him most relentlessly.
"The real estate business is much
brighter" said Mr. Smith. Probably the
greatest demand we have now Is 1or
country property. Small farms, OF ten
acres or SO, sell quite readily and prop
erty southeast of the city seems TO be
given the preference. Small city pr )p-
critics also are in good demand, the great
est call being for houses within radius OF
five blocks from the Wasatch corner"
How about prices?"
"Well, they, are little firmer than
they were during the winter, but are still
20 per cent. lower than they were year
sago."
care rents still on the Drop"
''No, there is an improvement in rents
for small residences, but large properties
are drug and are very low. Small cot
tage dwellings are in greatest demand"
GLOW is the money market?"
"Money is much easier than it was a
short time ago and we are making great
many loans at one per cent. Just after
the polygamy prosecutions commenced,
money became very tight and quite scare
was created One and a half per cent
could be secured very readily then,
but confidence seems to have been re-
stored and as consequence, money is
more plentiful"

Fort Douglas and the " Democrat"

A great many of the officers and en-
listed men at Fort Douglas desire to be-
cone subscribers of the only Democratic
paper in Utah, but the post mail carrier
leaves the city in the afternoon half an
hour before the DEMOCRAT is issued, and
it consequently does not arrive at Fort
Douglas until the following morning. 1t
is probable the post commander will be
petitioned for such change in the regula-
tons as will enable the carrier to await
the issue Of the DeMoCRAT, and there is
little doubt but General McCook will
grant the request. The Sixth Infantry
contains host of staunch Democrats.

A MurderOns Assault.

John Riley, D. & R. G. section hand,
committed murderous assault upon Ed.
Wilson, fellow workman, near the Rio
Grand depot yesterday evening. Riley
assaulted Wilson with pocket knife and
stabbed him twice in the neck, but the
injuries were not of very serious nature
Wilson was taken to DIR. Benedict s
Office and his wounds attended by Mrs.
DIR. Pratt. Both men were drunk at the
time, and Riley protested entire ignor-
ance of the affair this morning 1t was
probably nothing more than drunken
quarrel. The examination was set for 2
o'clock this afternoon before Justice
Speirs.

Fisher beer will be kept on draught, and
everything pertaining to first-class
establishment will be found.
