WAR TO TAE KNIFE.

CHICAGO. ILL.,, Oct. 16.-''Its war to the
knife now Tor sure" said stOckman, as he
stood Oh the Transit house steps after his
8 o'clock breakfast. at this hour, usually
so marked by the crowds of men on their
way to work, there was little sign OF life on
the streets where week ago thousands of
men trOoped through the gate leading to
the yards, scarcely dozen at time could
now be seen. Overin the Exchange build
ing. usually teeming With cattle buyers
and sellers, at this early hour the great hall
was almost deserted. A passenger train
came in on the Michigan Southern track,
but instead of pulling Oh the usual side
track at the depot the engine kept on around
the horn and took the three coaches up to
FOrty-Seventh street, and stopped at the
alley which leads to Armour q Co. S houses.
Nearly two hundred men alighted and
walked to the Office. where they were given
jumpers and Overalls and set TO work in the
old house. The precautions for guarding
the property of the packers have greatly IN
creased. In the town hall are number OF
cots on which the regular police sleep. Tel
egraph wires lead to each of the packing
houses, and night and day an operator is on
houses report by signal to the telephone
office every half hour, and the patrol
wagon crew is ready for duty at a
moments notice. Electric lights have been
hung throughout all the alleyways and
illuminate every nook and corner, turning
the darkest night into the brightest day.
Last, but by no means least, in the pro-
tective measures. is the Plnkerton force.
Their barracks in Washington Butchers
Sons packing house presengts the appear
ance of military camp. All through the
day and night sentinels armed with Win
chester rifles paced up and down the alley
ways and tracks which surrounded it. The
strikers have extended the boycott until it
is now all absolute impossibility tor Pink
erton man to purchase anything in the
neighborhood.
RICHMOND, Va, Oct. 16.-In the
Knights of Labor convention to-day the
discussion of the newspaper project was
brought to a close by the adoption of mo-
ton to lay the matter on the table. The
committee on law again got the floor and
that part of its report Oh the revision of the
constitution relating to the duties Of the
general officers was adopted. Discussion
of the clause relating to the state assemblies
was taken no at the afternoon session.

Numerous Bra kgmen Arrested.

ST. LOUIS, Oct. 16.-For some time past
freight cars On the Missouri Pacific and
Iron Mountain railways have been sys-
tematically robbed. The thefts in every in
stance have been so completely covered
that detection for long time seemed i'm
possible. The matter was placed in the
hands of detectives and nineteen brakemen
were arrested at Fort Smith, charged with
being implicated in the robberies. The
thieving has been done so deXterOuSly that
the detectives were long time in discover
ing by whom it was done. The goods were
sent properly packed and the thieves opened
the boxes, took out what they wanted and
then nailed up the boxes so nicely that the
merchants to whom they were consigned
receipted for them in good order" and
only found, after they had done so, that
they did not receive the proper amount Of
goods. Hundreds of dollars worth Of mer
chandise have in this way been stolen.

is nineteen miles in length and varies from
one to four miles in width. Ridges face
the gulf twelve feet above the sea level.
and in the rear is dense and impenetratable
marsh. The population last Tuesday morn
ming numbered 1000 souls. To-day
eightv-iye of that number are dead. Forty
OF their bodies have been recovered
and consigned to graves in the she'll reefs
while the decompOsing corpses OF the remain
ing forty-fve lie fostering in the marshes.
Tuesday last happiness and contentment
was the lot of the people until O'Clock that
evening. When the storm descended every
body took to their homes and waited the
fate which they foreSaw.
THE WATERS BEGAN RISING,
the wind swept through the lower stories of
buildings. driving the affrighted people to
attics and upon roofs. By 1 o'clock the
first ridge, which was twelve feet above the
sea level, was then ten feet under water.
House after house fell in or was swept
away, either burying the doomed people in
the debris or hurting them into the Kissing
waters. Cotton and stores next succum9ed,
and Bradford and JOhnson's bayou were
destroyed as completely as II
no invading army had done the
work. It was night of terror described
by survivors as appalling. People could
only cling to each other and pray for mercy,
and for the souls whose despairng cries
rang on their ears For twelve hours the
storm ragged over the devoted settlements
and then there came a lul. The survivors
gathered Oh the most elevated points and
viewed the scene of desolatiOn around them.
The houses that had withsto0d the action
of the storm were completely Quilted. There
was no food nor drink. salt water having
invaded everything. Then the search for
the dead began. Those whose bodies lay
pinioned by the ruins of houses were
speedily recovered. From out of the
marshes

south and west English and Irish coasts
continue, having extended far northward
Many reports of bridges and buildings
being swept away are constantly coming in.
In Ulster, Ireland, the storm and floods
seriously impede railroad traffic. Many
small vessels have been wrecked. The loss
of life ashore by the storm has not been
great. The British bark BeIlaport has been
wrecked off the SkellingS islands, on the
south coast of Ireland. She was being
owed by the tug Gamecock when the haw-
ser parted and the bark was thrown on the
rocky shore and destroyed. ALI of her

The great hurricane which has just passed

by the heaviest rain storm within memory
During last night there were many wrecks
and a number of channel boats were
stranded. The beach at Brighton presents
spectacle of destruction. A torpedo gun
boat at Port Smith dragged its anchor and
drifted into the mud, but was afterwards
rescued by the tugs. The glass roof of the
IlfracOmDe hotel was broken and the bath
house was washed away. The storm was
very furious on the Irish coast. The streets
in many Of the towns were flooded. Corn
stacks were blown away and the corn stand
ing in the fields was destroyed. The dam
age is immense. There have been destruct-

Con Cuttings.

The police Court was again kept quite
busy to-day.
The first case called was that against
three small boys charged with stealing
chickens. From the size oil the boys it
would be easier to believe that the hens
had pulled the kids Off roost than rice
GerSd. However, they will have a chance
to give evidence of their physical inabli-
ties to cope with good sized rooster at
the the opening OF to-morrOw's session
OF court, the case having gone over until
then.
Next came the assault and battery
case against one Williams. The evil
dence went to show that the fight was an
equestrian one, and it would be easy to
believe that the men were only indulging
in mounted sword contest, were it not
Tor the fact that Anderson, the plaintiff,
had scar, something which is never
seen on the face OF an apostle OF Ross.
The spectators were two blacksmiths,
who took reserved seats in their shop on
Seventh West street, and witnessed the
circus. Williams was seen to strike at
Anderso with his fist and Anderson
brought Williams to his senses by Il
gentle tap with whip-stock. Williams
then got off his horse and, arming him
self with fence rail, went after his
enemy in dead earnest The audience
decided that this was foul, and, rushing
between the two, ended the fight. The
Court decided that Williams began it,
and sentenced him to pay $50 fine.
Fred Lathrop, who has often before
visited the court, was arraigned on the
charge OF being drunk, and, upon being
proven guilty, was fined so.

Refined Comedy.

Sol Smith Russell, who is properly
ranked as one OF the few versatile and
really humorous comedians on the stage,
has met with wonderful success with his
new comedy "Pa." This popular actor
is no stranger to our theatre-goers, and
he has circle OF admirers in this
city which assures him succession OF
crowded houses at each engagement.
Those who recall his triumphs as Tom
Dilloway in "Edgewood Folks" and his
fine acting as Felix McKusick, when
the play OF that name was presented
last season, do not need to be told that
Mr. Russell is comedian of rare excel
lence and versatility. In his latest
comedy, "Pa," Mr.. Russell, in the title
role, has a part that was specially written
for him and that fits his peculiar style
to perfection. Mr.. Russell has reached
the point in art where he seems to be
funny because he can't help it. What
more need be said in praise OF probably
the most welcome eccentric comedian of
the day. He appears at the Salt Lake
Theatre next Tuesday and Wednesday,

THE GRADE COMMENCED.
Ground Broken on the Raw lins,
North Purk and GlcnwOOd
Springs Railroad.

Fort Steele last Wednesday and Thurs
day was the scene OF considerable activ-
ity. Thirty-thrce car loads OF graders
with their horses, scrapers, and all other
paraphernaiia for grading OH the line OF
the new southern branch OF the Union
Pacific were unloaded. The graders are
| a motley crew, the Kansas negro being
| in large majority. The mules and
horses are IN very fair condition, when
the fact is considered that they have been
worked very hard all summer. The prin-
cipal contractor is Mr.. $. Collins, very
afiable gentleman, and he has sublet his
contract in sections OF two miles each. 1t
is understood that contracts for only
twenty-five miles OF the grade have been
let thus far, and only this amount of grad
work will be pushed energetiCally in the
spring. The first ground was broken Just
south OF the limits OF the reservation on
stood that there will be bridge built
across the Platte at that point, and that
the junction of the new road with the
main line will be about four miles west
OF Steele. There are about 300 men al
ready employed on the grade, and by
Monday the force Will probably be in
creased by the arrival OF 200 more.
Fort Steele is entirely dismantled the
windows and doors have been taken out
of the fine buildings and sent to Fort Du
Chesne. The winter winds will be al
lowed to howl through the tenantless
rooms, and by spring the well constructed
buildings that have cost the Government
vast expenditure OF money, will be
wrecks. As one walks across the deserted
parade ground it seems that every build
ding is fleshless skull, the sashless
windows appearing like the vacant eye
socket, and the open doors like the grin
ming jaws, Carbon (Wyo.) Journal

JUDGE SAGE'S LECTURE.
4 Large Audience at Independence
Hail Last Evening.

A good audience greeted Judge Frank
lin Sage, Grand Recorder Tor the Temple
Of IIonorand Temperance for the United
States, at Independence Hall last even
ing Members OF the fraternity in re-
gala, escorted by lleld's superb band,
marched from the Deseret Bank building
to the meeting.
Mr. Sage said that he had come all the
way from Hartford, Connecticut, not IN
pursuit OF money or pleasure particularly,
but TO look into the faces OF his brethren
in the Order, to advocate total abstinence
and to help destroy the saloons. He had
helped crush out human slavery in this
country, and he had enlisted for life in
the war against Intoxicating drinks, an
evil of far greater magnitude than
African slavery. He had no political
axes to grind. but in the general anxiety
to protect various material interests
he would beg to ask good citizens and
independent voters, whether it would not
be we'll to protect the wives and children
and homes of the land against the fell
detroyer- intemperance His illustra-
tions upon this point were thrilling and
and effective. He claimed for the order
he represented the highest place among
the organized instrumentalites for the
temperance reformation Of the country
and the world. The great doctrines OF
fraternity, temperance and charity were
practically combined and carried out in
the organization. He invited all who
were willing to work for the benefit oil
their fellow men to join some one OF the
Temples of Honor in this city.
After some fine music by the band
Rev. A. Munroe, who is member of the
order and who very happily had intro
duced Judge Sage to the audience, adj
dressed few earnest remarks to those
present, inviting them to join the fra
ternity then and there, after which the
meeting adjourned.

GREAT ENTERPRISE.

Il. \. Wells, who years ago started in
the brewery business in which he is now
engaged with Moritz Richter, is now
operating malthouse which cannot be
eXcelled, ii equaled, in the whole western
country. The structure is established on
the south side of Fifth street ACTIVITY
and commands beautiful view The
principal feature of the malthouse is a
kiln (brick, built by j. Colvert) which is
Is by 20 on the inside, there being
distance OF twenty-three feet from the
fire TO the first one OF the two malt floors.
Then there are well ccmented cellars.
The soak tubs are immense Two kinds
OF barley are used, white club and two
rowed, OF which Mr.. Wells has already
purchased about II 900 bushels, the Utah
article being far superior to the California
product. In all, Mr.. Wells has spent
about $1,000 on this establishment,
which betokens the building skill OF w.
w. Jones, one OF Utah's most energetic
and enterprising architects.
The malthouse, as before stated, is run
by r. A. Wells, who has been fortunate
John Beer. Moritz Richter, the brewer,
is also connected with the business. F.
f, Cobabe attends to the books and cor
respondence. On the whole, this malt
house is creditable institution. Its
daily capacity is l25 bushels. 1t is a
benefit to the town, inasmuch as it does
consume great amount OF Weber county
barley, and otherwise assists in the line
OF home industry.

Pushing Ahead,

The report recently published TO the
effect that the Chicago K Northwestern
would not build westward to a connec-
ton with the Oregon Pacific, appears to
be cloak to cover the real intentions of
the former company. The Chicago IL
Northwestern is now almost completed
to Fort Fetterman, Wyoming, and the
contract is let for thirty-fve miles OF road
west OF that place The Oregon Pacific
surveyors are progressing eastward from
Albany, and rumor SAYS the Chicago &
Northwestern is furnishing the Oregon
Pacific all the money it requires. The
only point now unsettled" says a rail-
road man, "is where the roads will be
joined and when. This will be GOOD
news for sprightly little Albany, as it may
soon have direct transcOntinental line
to the East.-PoHioad NcwX.
