ANOTHER FIRM SUCCUMBS
FAILURE OF HEATH G. co. NEW YORK.
The Wreck Caused by the Operations oil

Revenge-Wall street Safe-A
SiSO,OOO Creditor.

New YORK, Oct. 2.-Shortly before noon
il was announced in the stock exchange
that the firm of VIM. Heath d Co. was
unable to meet its obligation. 1t is i'm
possible to learn anything definite as to
the immediate cause of the failure Mr..
Heath has been prominent on Wall street
for 20 years Mr.. Henry II. Smith, about
whom rumors of financial trouble have
been afloat for some time, and who has
been a very heavy bear operator, says the
failure is mainly due to his opera
tions in the stock market He sup
posed the firm was strong, and up
to 10 o'clock this morning had
no idea of their failure. No suspicion
that Heath q Co. were not able to meet
all engagements has existed in Wall
street, and the general impression has
been that it was among the strongest and
most prosperous houses on the street. 1t
is reported that Mr.. Smith owes the firm
about one million dollars, and the firm
owes its customers about the same amount.
The differences to Wall street houses are
not likely to amount to over 100000.
Heath & Co. S two seats in the New York
stock exchange are good for S5O,OO0, so
that Wall street houses will lose very lit
tie by the failure. 1t is stated that Smith
is also responsible for the failure of South
err * Co. having owed them $3.50 600. 1t is
the opinion of many that Smiths failure
was brought about by William II. Van
derbIlt who advanced the market in order
to break Smith as punishment Tor Smiths

they were operating together

that could properly be made against the

New YORK, oct. 5.--Gen. Lew Wallace,

think any action will be taken by Turkey
until the signatOry powers meet. The Sui
tan has too much common sense to rush
hap hazard into war. He will await the
issue of conference. In case of dis
agreement between the powers probably
the whole of Europe will be swept into
hostilities Russia, France and Italy on
the one side, and England and Austria on
the other, Germany guided by Bismarck
will endeavor to act as arbitrator. Aus
tria would Immediately take possession
of Bosnia and Herzegovina, Russia would
occupy Bulgaria and Roumelia The
Sultan is as shrewd rs any one in Europe
and is not demented, though that report
was circulated some years ago, and is now
revived 1t must be recollected ne is now
between two parties in his own country,
one for war and one tor peace. There is
not monarch in Europe who is called
upon to administer government under
greater difficulties than he.

"A FAIR FIELD AND NO FAVOR"
An Exciting Runaway-The Tenn Run
for Three-quarters of a Mile But
the Man Stays With Them.

Last night about 5 80, one of the most
exciting and dangerous runaways ever
seen occurred in the lane which is a con-
tinuation of Third East Street, and leads
to Col. Winder's farm. A young man
who was travelling South with team and
had a plank bed for hauling gravel or
working around the fields, lost the con-
troll of his horses by their taking
the bits in their teeth and start
ing to run. He was seated on the
front part of his wagon, and
when the speed of the horses had got so
great that the striking of the wheels
against anything made them bound and
jump like an india rubber ball, the planks
of his bed began to be hurled from under
him, and he was compelled to sit or hang,
on the front bolster, and brace himself
against the tongue.
Strength availed him not, but pluck
did; for, keeping his team in the lane
until large open field was found, and he
turned them into it, circling them around
so long as they chose to GO, thereby
saving himself and his team. The team
is afine one, and belongs to Mr.. Free. 1t
is famous for running away.

AUSTIN EXONERATED.
No Embezzlement Case Made Out
Against Him.

When the Austin examination was re-
sumed before Commissioner Mckay yes
terday afternoon, NJ. E. Cummings, teller
of the Deseret Bank, was sworn. He tes-
tilted that the $4,018 deposit was made to
Mr.. Austin's personal account, and not as
trustee. The 81, 100 received on the Muir
ply mortgage were Deposited to the
trustee account.
Miss Williams was then cross-ex-
amined by Mr.. Royle. She said she first
distrusted Mr.. Austin on account of the
long delay in the payment of the Bowers
note. She then requested defendant to
put his several personal notes in the form
of mortgage, which he promised to do.
She then made demand for So 900, and
gate affairs. She then learned for the
first time that the Murphy mortgage had
been paid, and that $3.50 had
been paid on the Match Fac
tory mortgage. These payments were
shown in every statement submitted by
Mr.. Austin. She still held 1850 shares
OF Mammoth stock belonging to Mr.. Aus
tin. Mr.. Austin had been authorized by
her to invest only in mining stocks and
real estate. She and Mr.. Austin had
been unable to agree on the balance be-
tween them. AT this point Mr. Marshall
moved that the defendant be discharged
which was argued by Mr.. Royle at con-
siderable length. Mr.. Varian made
very brief reply, acknowledging that the
case contained none of the elements nee
essary to constitute a case or embezzle-
ment. Whatever differences might exist
between Mr.. Austin and Miss
Williams in relation to their bust
ness affairs, they were questions
to be determined by civil action. He did
not think Judge Mckay would be justi-
fed in sending the defendant before the
Grand Jury.
Mr.. Marshall closed the argument and
Judge Mckay then sustained the motion.
The public generally, and Mr.. Austin's
friends in particular, are gratifed by the
outcome ofthese proceedings, although it
IS what was anticipated. 1t will be seen
by the evidence that hardly the shadow
Of an embezzlement case was made out,
and it is clearly evident that Messrs.
Dickson and Varian had not fully in
the matter when they went
nto the examination.

Some Rumors.

The air was thick with all sorts of
wild rumors to-day, and the most improb-
able events were gravely discussed on
street corners as actual facts. The first
report that reached the reporter was
that President John Taylor had been
arrested this morning, but Marshal
Ireland exploded this by saying he knew
nothing of it. A re port then gained cir
culation that the official decapitation of
District Attorney Dickson had taken
place. Notwithstanding the improbable
ty of such an event, the rllmor gained
such circulation that a DEMOCRAT reporter
sought Mr.. Dickson, and was informed
by that gentleman that he had received
no notification of such an occurrence. 1t
was also rumored that the Grand jury
had failed to find an Indictment against
President Taylor, but this, ike the
others, was without foundation.

MISS IDA HITCHCOCK.
The Coming Benefit to This Talented
Young Lady.

In another column will be found the
announcement of the complimentary
benefit which has been rendered to the
wonderful little elocutionist whose name
is at the head of this item, by the Knights
of Pythias and Grand Army of this city,
and also by many of our prominent citi-
zens, headed by the Governor of this
Territory
AS soon as the intention became
known that benefit was to be rendered
the little lady, it was at once apparent
that all who knew her were anxious to
do all in their power to not only make the
occasion as attractive as possible but
also to make it financial success, as a
fitting return to one who has at all times
so generously contributed to the enter
tainment of the community. We were
therefore very glad to see so much inter-
est manifested by many of our citizens
whose names are guarantee of the full
est success in every particular.
In addition to the above, all of the
noted artists now in our city have very
generously come forward and signifed
their desire to aid by their ability so
worthy an object as testimonial to one
who is so deserving as is our little friend
Miss Ida Hitchcock.
With so deserving an object, and so
many distinguished artists to appear, the
object together with the attraction will
undoubtedly make it the most successful
of the season; from all points of view it
will certainly be the most deserving.

TROUBLE WITH THE QUEEN.
The Last Final Gasp of the Miners
Union.

Mr.. J. C. Conklin received q dispatch
from Bellevue at 6 o'clock last evening,
stating that Sheriff Furey had Withdrawn
the guards and miners..from the Queen OF
the Hills mine The dispatch stated that
this was done in order to prevent violence
from Miners Union mob. General
Brisbin arrived yesterday, and the force
had been returned to the mine. The
mill was still running.
No further information has been re-
ceived at the Queen of the Hills office in
this city, and the opinion is expressed
that everything is running smoothly to-
day. Mr.. Conklin thought he would surely
have received further advices had the
miners been prevented from returning,
and inclined to the belief that yesterdays
difficulty had been greatly exaggerated by
rumors and reports. He or Judge Hunter
will start for Bellevue as soon as it APP
pears their presence is required, but
as yet no action has been taken
"Iregard this little squirt" said Mr..
Horn, "as the last gasp of the Miners
Union, and think that no more trouble
need be feared'
The Minnie Moore jigs were started up
last Saturday and there were then
seventy-fve men at work on that pro-
perty. The dispatch from the Queen last
night stated there are plenty of men
willing to go to work if they were pro-
tected. The following is taken from the
HALEY Times of Monday:
'For two or three days past the report
has been current in Haley that the
Broadford Miners Union intended to re-
capture the Minnie Moore and Queen of
the Hills mines, and to that end had
secured all the arms obtainable and num-
erous delegations of miners from the up
per country.
These reports, disbelieved at first, were
repeated with such force that they be-
came generally believed, and last even
ing Sheriff Furey sent 60 Winchester
rifles over to Bradford, with twenty
rounds of ammunition, and to-day he in
creased his force of deputies
No one who understands the workings
of trades unions will for a moment enter
tain the opinion that the Broadford Union
will resort to an opon violation of law;
but it must be confessed that the reports, |.
if founded in fact, justify some alarm.
Ii the Union attempts to use force or
resorts to violence, it will very properly |
deserve the general condemnation of all |
citizens.

The Culmer-RYdalch Affair.

We learn that Mr. c. F. Culmer has
recourse on the Kimball estate for the
Rydalch note which Judge Zane yester-
day ruled to be invalid. This note was
received by Mr.. G. F. Culmer from the
late Fl. ?. Kimball in payment OF a book
account of Kimball & Sons, Grantsville,
and although Mr.. Rydalch claimed it to
be unsound the assertions of Mr.. Kim
bail were strong as to its validity that
there appeared no doubt of its being gen.
uine and Mr.. Gunner sued as assignee.

Western Union Affairs.

Mr.. j. ]. Dickey, superintendent Of

last night. He was accompanied by
Mr.. Scott, of Omaha, who has been ap-
pointed to succeed Mr.. Giles as manager
of the Salt Lake Office, and also of the
District Telegraph service. The rumor
that telephone changes would be made is
without foundation.
