Decision Affirmed. From the Tucson Citizen.

From the Tucson Citizen.
 Last November the United
 States Court at Prescott was en.
 gagged with the celebrated Nor
 mon Bishops cases, in which Am
 mon NJ. Penney, c. I. Kemp and
 Skouson, were arraigned unde,
 the provisions of the Edmunds
 act for unlawful cohabitat1on and
 were given a trial that afforded
 ample opportunity for every pos
 sible point involved to be
 thoroughly discussed. The pros
 ecution was conducted in person
 by United States District Attor
 ney, J. A. Zabriskle, assisted by his deputy at Prescott, Hon. E.
 W. Wells. The Bishops were ably defended by Judge Rush, Herndon & Hawkins, Thomas Fitch and Judge Milner, the lat ter having been sent from Salt Lake City to try these cases.
 They were the first cases tried under the Edmunds act, and the full merits of the law were brought under the scrutiny of the Court, and some of the points taken by the prosecution were entirely novel and for the first time presented to the Court. After prolonged argu- ments and great deliberation, the | Mormons were convicted and sen- fenced to imprisonment in Detroit. Judge Sumner Howard has the ,redit of making the first rulings lnder the Edmunds law, on the egal propositions as they arose, md it is compliment to his judg- nent that the more recent de- isions in similar cases in Utah lave been almost verbatim copies f his opinions.
 The Mormons appealed their a'es to the Supreme Court and hey were argued before a full ench at Pheni1 in March last. Decision was reserved and the bsence of the Justices from the 7 'erritory prevented promulga- ( on of their final decision. The sturn of Judges Fitzgerald and V inney from summer vacation | as immediately followed by the V nanlmous decision of the Su n 'eme Court being filed, affirming le decision of Justice Howard in F cry particular. This forever ts at rest the validity of the n W and the new points involved, f i'd the news of its rendition will s received with expressions of II and indignation in q ormon circles, and with equally fe travagant expressions of joy by @ moral portions of the Ter n ory. oI

One of the intimate friends of

 night of the Puritan G Genessa race:
 "Do you know how Butler cans

 into his office in Washington one
 day and said: My name is Lamar.

I own q yacht, which the Government seized. It's over at the navy yard. 1 can't get possession of it without a more expensive fight than it is worth. If you win this claim I'll give you bill of sale of that yacht, ill addition to the 20 per cent The claim was duly al lowed, Lamar got a check for s2oO,OOe, and Butler got S4O,OOO and bill of sale of ths yacht It was in Secretary Robeson's time.

An Immense Work.

The work of loading Flood Rocl (Hell Gate) at New York witt Rackarock Blasting Powder is ac. lively going on.
 The powder is carefully mixed by Geo. Turner, agent of the Rend Rock Powder Co.,, on Mill Rock, a short distance from the obstruction to be removed, in lots of 1OOpounds and packed in cases 24 inches in diameter by 2 feet long, made of copper 61000 of an inch thick, ev- cry one being soldered after the case is filled. The powder is then taken by tug to Flood Rock as fast as packed, thus avoiding any danger to the works or the city from premature explosion of a large quantity of powder which would be likely to occur in case any oth- was used.
 Up to Saturday night, Sept. 5, l49,422 pounds of the Rend Rock powder had been placed in position

BALTIMORE, Sept. A.-The Sovereign Lodge
convened at Oddfellow's Hall in this city, on
Monday morning, at 9 o'clock, with full repre-
sentation from all the States. During the ses-
sion of Monday report was presented by the
committee on patriarchal affairs, which provides
fora constitution for uniform degree camps, sub
ordinate, grand and national-the latter to be
the Sovereign Grand Lodge. 1t proposes to
change the name from ''camps" to ''cantons."
The Grand Lodge has adopted the
secret work as revised by the
committee, and will, with some modification
adopt the report of the committee which will
give this branch of the order an independent
position similar to grand lodges. There is much
interest taken in this matter all over the country
as it is thought it will open the way for settle
ment of the difficulties which have existed for
three years past with the Patrarchal Circle.

The feature of the session was the unwilling
of the monument erected to the memory of
James L. Ridgely, at cost of 500 000 which
sum was raised by a contribution of five cents
each from the members of the various iursdic-
tons. The day unpropitious Rain com
nenced to fall about / o'clock, but not
withstanding, line was formed extending over
two miles The place selected for the monument
is in Harlem Park, a beautiful little spot of
ground In the western part of the city, and when
the procession arrived at the grounds there were
not less than 30, 900 people assembled in the park
and surrounding streets. The monument was
formally presented to the Sovereign Grand Lodge
by the monument committee, and received by
Grand Sire Carey. AT the moment the drapery
dropped from the bronze figure on the pedestal
q small silk balloon, with the name of James L.
Ridgely painted it, was started on it's Journey
and after lowering over the monu-
ment for a few moments scared away
and disappeared among the clouds. The
monument consists of fourteen pieces of
granite weighing ITO tons. The shaft is modern
Gothic, surmounted by life-size bronze figure
of the lamented grand secretary. the scholar,
statesman and philanthropist.
