Shortly after midnight this morning
messenger went to the fifth precinct sta
tion house and reported that there was
trouble at Welcker's Hotel. Several Off

that the trouble was over. 1t was learned
that the difficulty was caused by Butler
Malone, clerk in the Office of the secre.
tory Of the senate, and son Of Senator
Malone, who had gone there intoxicated
and began abusing some persons standing
around. They attempted to quiet
him, but he became obdurate,
and, when ono of tho colored employees
approached, he whipped out a revolver
and fred at tho man three times. None
Of the shots hit the man, although he de-
olared that he was struck on one of his
fingers. One Of the balls was found en-.
bedded above the door Of the main en-
trance to the hall Of the hotel, where the
shooting took place. When the officers
arrived Mr.. Mahone's friends had carried
him away and he was not to be found.

MYSTERIOUS DEATH.
Body of an Unknown Man Shriyeled by the
Sun Found in Meadow,

There was church festival near Castleton,
Lawrence township, on the 25th Of June at
which disturbance occurred About midnight,
Tom Henry, while returning home, down the
railroad from the place of the festival, was met
by an unknown man, who fred at Henry. The
latter returned the fire. at which the unknown
ran away, followed by two other
shots from Henrys revolver. Last Sun
day night, two weeks ago, a party of
strangers aroused the sleepers of Castleton by
quarreling and fighting in the streets Then,
too, several shots were fired, but none of the
brawlers could be recognized. One Ellenberg,
however, who works for DR.. Rocker, overheard
one of the party say: HE came behind me and
shot through my hat and ran. I did not have
load in my revolver, but went after him, load
ing and firing as I ran. I fred seven shots and
know some of them struck him."
Yesterday afternoon about o'clock Joseph
Sauer, working with mowers within q half mile
of Castleton in meadow, that belongs to John
Johnson, foreman of the July grand jury, had
occasion to go short distance from his fellow
workers. While running through the grass he
came upon the body of man. Calling help a
hurried investigation followed revealing sicken-
ing details The body had probably lain there
three weeks as decomposition had SO far done its
work that nothing but the shell was left The
intense heat had tightly drawn the skin over the
skeleton, shrveling it and darkening it to the
darkest shade of brown. Not far away there
were signs of where the man had torn up the
grass with which to make bed. His coat was
partly off, and the rest of his clothing showed
that he had begun to undress Not scrap of
paper or a mark on clothing could be found by
which to identify him. 1t was impossible to
trace any clew through features or find any
other personal means of Identification.
Decay had done its, worst except, to
turn the skin and bones to dust.
The only articles he had about him were two
pieces of tobacco, comb, pipe and spectacle
| case. In the left arm, just above the elbow, is
something that resembles bullet wound, and
the value of this slight clew is increased by
shirt-sleeve torn about in the place where it
would cover the wound. Deputy Coroner Rocker
could not make thorough examination on &C
count Of the condition of the body. How the
man came to the meadow is so far only matter
of speculation. His clothing was that of a
tramp, or of one very poor. He was about
five feet eight inches high, and of slender frame.
He had black moustache and beard, but this
description does not meet that of anyone known
in the vicinity of Castleton. The most probable
theory is that he was a tramp who had been
wounded in one or the other of the affrays de-
scribed above. The body was brought to this
city last night by the county unGertakers, Rip
ley q Hedges. Further investigation will be
made by the coroner to-day.

Trouble Brewing in Utah.

OMAHA, Neb, July 16.-General Howard,
commanding the department of the Platte.
returned to Omaha last evening, from Salt
Lake City, in which place he spent the 4th of
July. He says there is grave apprehension there
over the feeling existing between the gentiles
and Mormons, which has been greatly intensified
by the Mormons half masting the American flag.
General Howard says serious trouble may occur
at any hour, on the slightest pretext. The gen
tiles and United States soldiers are very indig-
nant. In anticipation of an outbreak being pre-
cipitated any day, the War Department has
made preparations for it. By order of General
Howard the troops that We're to leave Fort
Douglas and Fort Laramie for Kansas, to sup
press the Cheyennes, have been retained at these
posts A collision between the Mormons and
gentiles is looked for on the oath of this month
which is a great day with the Mormons, il being
the anniversary of the settlement of Utah.
They come into Salt Lake City by the thousands
on that day from all parts of the Territory
Should they attempt to repeat any such perform
ance as they carried on the 4th Of July there
will probably be bloodshed

GRAND JURY REPORT.
Commissioners Recommended to Build New
indictments for Various Offenses.

The July grand jury, with their report Of in
dictments, yesterday rather lengthily set forth
their views as to the county Jail and Poor-house
farm. The Jail, they say, is utterly inadequate
in almost every respect. Increase of crime is
uncomfortabiy testing the capacity of the build
ing and besides, they regard it as ''ill venti
lated, damp and unwholesome." A foul stencil
comes from the water closets at all times which
is ''nauseating and disgusting" The jurors say
that the sheriff and assistants are not to blame,
as they do all they can to keep the building
'sweet and clean" The architecture is de-
fective, and the building was not intended to
accommodate the number of prisoners who are
confined there now. "Were it not" the report
continues, 'fGr the good and substantial
food given the prisoners and the care and vigi-
lance of the sheriff in disinfecting and securing
the bailding, there is no telling to what extent
contagion might exist within the walls of the
prison. The only recommendation we could
make to the commissioners would be to tear
down the building and erect something in keep
ing with our advanced civilization"
In regard to the poor house and farm the
jurors report that they found everything there
indicative of frst-class management. The farm
is productive and profitable, the building is
clean, we'll ventilated and comfortably furnished
and the wants of the inmates are attended to in
the most satisfactory manner.
During their sitting of ten days the grand
jury examined 220 witnesses and found eight
indictments for petit larceny, as follows: John
Keefe James Tracy, John Henderson, David
Tress;l, Thomas Murphy, Ben Winters, Christie
pher Rode aud James McCaffrey, the last two
being also indicted for burglary.
In the six indictments for grand larceny ap-
pear the names of Frank Hall, Charles Cum
mings. Lewis II. Krigeer, Edgar L. Miller,
Frank Weaver and Minnie Long. For burglary,
Henry Wachstetter Oscar Heath and AL Ginger
were indicted. The other indictments were
Charles Rice, receiving stolen goods; John Shea,
corrupting and influencing juror; Philip Boyer,
assault and battery with intent to kill; Robert
j. Phillips, murder; James L. Mclaughlin, OBJ
structing railway track; Robert Russell and
Lawrence Sletting, rape. In addition to these
indictments for robbery. assault and battery
with intent to kill, and selling liquor on Sunday,
one each were reported. Lewis D. Lyons,
Henry Barbour and Joseph Lawson were or
dered to be released, as the evidence against
them not sufficient to sustain the charges on
which they were arrested, viz: Lyons, rape;
Barbour, assault and battery with intent to kill,
and Lawson, petit larceny.

A New DiSinfectant.

At Budd's commission house. yesterday after
noon the Board of Health Dr. George W.
Sloan, and a number of other persons, were
shown a remarkable deodorizer, disinfectant
and germ-killer A dozen or more eggs une-
quivocally rotten, were broken in a bucket, and
on the addition of the disinfectant, which is in
liquid form, the nauseating omelet was in
simultaneously deodorized, not vestige of the
unsavory odor remaining. The health officers
and all who witnessed the test were impressed
with the fact that the disinfectant would do the
work. 1t is probably preparation of chloride
of mercury
