A Baby's Bad Beginning.

Frankfort, Ky. special: The first
white child ever born in the Kentucky
penitentiary was born Oct. to Jose
phlne Fritz, from Hende: son county,
who was convicted as an accomplice in
the murder of Mrs. Moses COden. She
was the paramour of Moses Coden. who
was hung 'ast spring for the murder of
his wife. Coden and Mrs. Fritz were
confined in the same Jail at Henderson
and in some way gained access to each
other, and this girl baby is the result.
She has been in the penitentiary about
seven months. The child certainly has
a bad record to begin life on-begot IN
Jail and born in the pententiary, and
out of wedlock, father hung for murder,
and it's mother convict for the same
otfense. The governor will be petition
ed for pardon. but the petition will
probably have but few signers, as it is
believed she allowed herself to become
enfamille to secure sympathy and pre-
vent her conviction.

In Favor of the settler.

WASHINGTON, Sept l6.-The commits
sioner of the general land Office has decid
ed that the date of the definite location
of the Union Pacific railway from Oregon
to Promontory point, in Utah, governs in
the railroad grant and not the date Of
definite location of the Central Pacific
road between those points. This portion
Of the road was located by both companies.
but was constructed by the Union Pacific
and sold to the Central under the proyis-
ions of an act of congress of April 10.
1869, 1t has heretofore been held that
the date of the location by the Central
Pacific was the date when the right OF the
company attached to additional sections
within the granted limits. This was an
act of May 20, lsGS; the location by the
Union Pacific was April 2s, 1869. The
present ruling gives settlers the advantage
Of the difference in time. the lands settled
upon prior to the later date being held to
be excepted from the railroad grant.

they can enter into any negotiations or
entertain any proposition for compromises

The Best Race Seen In the World.
NEW YORK, Sent. I6.-The Puritan
has beaten the Genesta to-day over a forty
mile course, from Scotland lightship.
twenty miles to Toward and return, by
two minutes and nine seconds actual time,
or one minute and thirty-eight seconds
corrected time. The race was said by the
Oldest yachtsmen 10 be the best and most
closely contested ever seen in the world.
The wind was moderate from the west.
northwest at the start. As the yachts
ran dead before it to the outer mark
it increased, and before they had sailed
half the windward work returning it vas
blowing a half gale from the north, north
west. with quite j lumpy sea. The ruri-
tan housed the top mast, but the Genesta
'lugged' her top sail to the finish. She
was two minutes and six seconds ahead at

SALT LAKE, Sept. l6.-The grand
Jury to-day returned FIVE indictments
under the United States laws. Judge
Zone, responding to a request for instruc-
tions, ruled that an indictment for unlaw-
full cohabitation would be proper for
every distinct violation of the law shown.
An offender might be indicted every day
if %offense were shown. Ella Birminp-
ham, second wife of Thomas Birming-
ham, before the grand jury to-day. said
she had been married eight years; had
three children, one four years ago by
Birmingham, two Others since, but didn't
know who was the father; she couldn't
remember like some folks, Eliza Shafer
and Elizabeth Starkey were sent to the
penitentiary for contempt in refusing to
answer questions of polyGamous relations,
the first with John W. Smell, the second

was the widest excitement on the steam
boats and sailing crafts gathered near the
lightship. The whistle of the judges
boat announcing that the Puritan had
again beaten the Genesta, this time
settled the question as to the respective
qualities Of the two styles Of boat, and
deciding that the cup would remain ON
this side Of the water, was the signal for
general blowing of whistles, firing of can
non, and on the part of the occupants OF
various vessels by shouting, screaming,
throwing up of hats and general em-
bracing. Such a pandemonium has sell
dom been witnessed. Little over a min
ute later, when the Genesta crossed the
line, these noises and scenes were re-
peated, if anything on a more elaborate
scale. The gentlemen on board the
Britisher gracefully acknowledged the
manifestations of good feeling exhibited
by the enthusiastic crowds and lifted their
hats in response to the cheers given them.
Soon after the race was over the two
racers were taken in tow by the clubs
tug, which pointed their noses toward the
city. The excursion boats and pleasure
yachts followed suit. and so apparently is
the question OF capacity Of English cut
ter or American sloop settled, at least for
the time.
