INDIANAPOLIS, May 16. 1885.
The development of business with few days
| of genuine spring weather has frightened the
situation considerably and it is no exaggeration
to say that the volume of business OBJ
tanned IN the week ending with to-day
has been in excess of any preceding week of this
year, and on the whole quite satisfactory to a
majority of the wholesale men, and in most
lines the retail men have experienced good
trade Prices in nearly all departments have
ruled steady. Sugars. coffees, teas, firm
at quotations. In the produce markets
there has been considerable activity
The supply of eggs seems abundant
yet prices tend higher Arrivals of
butter are large. Really choice moves off
freely but an inferior article is difficult to dis
pose OF at any price Poultry is firm at quota
tons. The demand for healthy, fat hens is good
Young chickens are on the market, but sell at
fabulous prices. The receipts are still quite linn
tied. Green stuff has sold more freely with the
warmer days. Prices range low, SO abundant is
the supply. Strawberries begin to arrive more
freely. Lower prices may be looked for next
week.

gFon. Alexander ksamsey Talks On
1he land OF The TOrnOus.

gEoIas Alexander k52mSey Talks on
1EAe L;hgLd OF IAe UOrnOuS.
Hon. Alexander Ramsey. one of the Utah
commissioners appointed under an enact
ment of congress generally known as the
Edmunds bill, returned last evening from
an official visit to Salt Lake City. He has
been absent about one month. The special
object of his visit, like that of the other
members of the commission, was to oversee
and canvass the returns of the territorial
election, which occurred on Aug. 3. 1t was
not only the election for the legislature, but
all the county officers.
Seen by GLOBE reporter last night. Mr.
Ramsey said the election passed off quietly
The house. as constituted. embraced thirty
six members, the council twelve. All of
these were elected with the various Off
GERS. All were Morm0nS with the exception
of one person. The latter, according to
political division in Utah. is called a liberal
all persons being divided under the head of
MOmOns and liberals. The election of a
liberal is the first time the event has oc-
CURED since the EdmundS bill became law
Once before in the history of the state a
liberal was elected, but the person was at
once unseated by the act of legislature on
the alleged ground of fraud The same
representations We're made in the present
instance, when the commission was asked
TO recount the ballots, but they declined to
do it, as there did not seem to be sufficient
frauds for so doing. None of the Mormons
elected to Office are polygamists, in fact, as
an act of congress makes a polygamiSt i'll
eligible to hold office.
Is POLYGAMY DECREASING?
Speaking of the crime of polygamy, the
honorable gentlemen said they could
scarcely tell whether or not the crime was
diminishing. Sometimes the commission
thought it was. and other times that it was
not. 1t was very difficult to form an idea.
owing to the secrecy with which it is car
ried on. A man may be married to several
wives and the general public be ignorant
about it, as all marriages are solemnized at
the endowment house. At the present
time ten MOrmons are serving sentences
in the penitentiary for polygamy
There are thirty-six others waiting
the sessions of the three district courts.
which convene in a short time. True bills
of Indictment have been returned against
them by the grand jury, so they, too, or the
majority Of them, will be sentenced to the
penitentiary soon. In view of the present
prosecutions, a great many of the leading
MomOns are out of the territory at the
present time and are liable to remain out
for an unlimited period. According to ar
rangements, a quorum of the commission
remain in Salt Lake City continually and
look after the duties for which they were
appointed. They are eagerly looking for
ward to the next session of congress, when
they expect considerable legislation on the
Mormon evil

To the Editor OF the GLOBE:
In your issue of the 25th inst You refer
to a personal encounter that took place be-
tween Rabbi Judah WecllSler and myself on
Seventh street, in a manner which leads
me to believe that your reporter got his in
formation from the other side. Therefore
please allow me To state the facts in the
matter. Rabbi Wechsler. together with two
other parties. gave me his notes for 500 for
cattle and stun which 1 sold him while in
Dakota, and when the notes became paya-
bic. WechSler failed 10 pay. aud sued him
and won the suit; and. being anxious for
my money. i asked him when he would pay
me. He told me Ia get out. and l insisted
upon proper answer. and then EechSler
got excited and finally struck Inc over the
head with his cane, and others imterfered
and separated us. \ policeman. who saw
the ARRAY. arrested both OF us, and when
WechSler offered resistance to the officer.
the latter was compelled to take hold of
WechSler and make him go along. Both
of us gave bail and the case will be tried

THE CONTRACT EXECUTED
For the Court House SuPerstrucIurG
..MunicipaI Matters.

Last night was the fourth time that the
city council and the county commissioners
made an effort to meet for a joint cOnven-
ton TO award the contract for the super
structure of the new court house. and il
was the first and only time they succeeded
in securing the necessary quorum for the
transaction of business, the three previous
efforts having proved failures for the reason
that enough of both bodies could not be got
together at the same time. A quorum hav-
ing been secured last night the contract
with Mathew Breen for the superStructure
was adopted and duly executed by each of
the county commissioners and members
of the city council. This completing the
business of the convention il adjourned.
THE COUNCIL MEETING.
The council. after the convention adj
jOurned. held a short meeting and trans
acted the following business:
The board of public works was directed
to investigate ana report as 10 grading Viola
street from Rice street TO Jackson; As 10 eX-
tending and continuing the sewer on ST.
Peter street, from Martin street 10 Univer-
sity avenue; as TO continuing and extending
the sewer on WabaSha street northward 10
University avenue; as to constructing a
sewer on Tilton street, from WabaSha 10 ST.
Peter street.
The city engineer was instructed to cause
the box cutters on Rice street and Como
avenue. near Viola street, 10 be enlarged so
as To accommodate the increased volume of
water which flows down Viola street and
Rice by reason of the grading of Park ave
nue., and the deposit of earth therefrOm on
Viola street.
The award of the contract for paving of
Robert street with the Kerr pavement, for
Sl5,4 was confirmed.
The council then adjourned.

suppose they thought if they could do me
up their case would not go so hard with
them, as the man with me could not
testify"
lis it true that there is much excitement
among your tribe?" asked the reporter.
Yes, that is true. My people do not
like TO see their chief treated in that way.
and they are very mad. L do not know
what the result may be, but there may be
trouble between my people and the whites.
The case will be referred to the agent and
we shall probably follow his advice, though
my people are much excited. The United
States marshal must look after these men
and see that they pay fine or L will report
TO Washington.
Hole-in-the-Day said he had not suffered
very severely, but was badly bruised and
was very roughly handled. The conductor,
he thought, should have protected him while
on the train, but he did not.

Explaining the Laws.

Attorney General Hahn yesterday gave
out two written opinions as follows: T. F.
Young, attorney of Swift county, asked if
notes given by farmers for farm machinery
and held by agents in the county were tax
able in Swift county. The attorney gen
eral SAYS that they are not. The statute is
now broad enough TO include evidences of
Indebtedness in the hands of persons for
collection. If it was and did include them,
every collection in the hands of banks or at
tOrneys in May. would be subject to taxa
ton and would have to be listed by the
holder. 1t certainly was not the intention
of the legislature to require it.
In answer to o. G. Wall OF the same bOrO
the attorney general says that the law of
1885 relating TO time of holding meetings,
does not apply 10 special districts.
