RICHARD DIVERS TRIAL.
Before the Court Oh u Charge of
PitchfOrking Deputy Mix.

PitchfOrkfng Deputy MIX.
Almost the entire day was taken up in
the Third District Court by the trial OF
Richard Oliver, charged with assault
with. intent to do bodily harm. Oliver is
the man who attacked Deputy Mix last
year with pitchfork, and when placed
upon the stand this morning he told
patched-up story with which he
hoped to prove his innocence. Deputies
Mix and Barker were examined for the
prosecution, and Johanna Willenback,
John Smith, John Smith, Jr., Charles
Smith, George White, Thomas White
and Alonzo Jenkins for the defense. The
jury impaneled for the case contained
quite q number of Mormons, and from
the nature of the circumstances connected
with the affair it was general inference
that difficulty would be experienced in
getting verdict of guilty.
Much Of this afternoons session was
occupied by Arthur Brown in his argu-
ment for the defense, and w. H. Dickson
for the prosecution. In his argument
Mr.. Brown used the expression, "These
fellows who hold Sinking little Offices I'M
der the Government" and Mr.. Dickson
took the expression up in his final
speech and used it effectively to
the discontinue of the author. The
of the Prosecuting Attorney,
especially touching this point, were pow 4
erful and eloquent and were delivered
with a warmth and earnestness which
told how heartily the situation was ap-
preciated by the gentleman. The case
was given to the jury at o'clock.

TELEGRAPHIC ITEMS.

THE morning hour in the House yes
terday was consumed in the consldera-
ton OF the bill to annex the northern
part of Idaho Territory to the Territory OF
! Washington, but no final action was
taken.
: WILLIAM LUDARGE, the famous baritone
recently engaged by the American Opera
{ Company, arrived in New York from
England Yesterday. He is about SO years
old, and has the reputation OF being the
foremost baritone who has sung opera IN
English. He is said to be specially
strong in Wagner's operas.
In the House Yesterday Hoar called up
the bill appropriating $250,0OO for the
erection of a monument in Washington
City to the memory of General Grant.
The bill passed, Hoar saying that the
Committee on Military would consider
the subject of an appropriate monument
to the memory OF Lincoln.
mammoth silver meeting was held
in London Monday night at which prom
inent representatives OF trade and COM
MERGE were in attendance IN large num-
bers. The character and tone OF the
speeches and the enthusiasm OF the listen
ers indicated the increased and over
whelming feeling in favor OF bi-metallsm
in England.
THE Cabinet meeting yesterday was
mainly devoted to the consideration OF
the general question OF the promotions in
the army and navy, particularly as to the
wisdom of giving preference in such mat
tiers to officers soon to be retired, and who
in fact are unfit at the time of promotion
for active service The general senti-
ment was adverse to such promotion ex-
cept in specially meritorious cases.

Reception to Dinwoodey. Et All.

A royal reception was rendered several
OF the new convicts at the penitentiary
last night by those who had become in
ltlated. Henry Dinwoodey, Joseph Nc
Murrin and w. Wiley contributed to the
entertainment, the former, in the absence
OF any ability to sing, giving speech.
while McMurrin rendered two Scotch
ballads in fine style. Wiley was in
clined to shirk his duty in this respect.
but upon being persuaded that the task
was inevitable he contributed song to
the programme. Wiley received a bad
brulse on one of his shoulders in a recent
game OF football at the Pen, and has been
suffering little inconvenience as we'll as
pain.

The Senator regretted not having that

certainly large enough stake to begin

The Chicago Specimen for printers

The Chicago Specimen for printers
advances a true po.nt on the question
of stopping my paper: "The strong
attachment Of subscribers to a we'll
conducted newspaper is fully confirm
ed by all publishers. Stop my paper
dread words to beginners in business,
lose their terror after a paper has
been established a few years. So long
as a paper pursues a just, honorable
and iudicious course, meeting the
wants of it's customers in all respects,
the ties of friendship between the
subscribers and the paper are as hard
to break by an outside third party as
the link which binds old friends in
business or social life. Occasional
defects and errors in a newspaper are
overlooked by those who have become
attached to it through its perusal for
years. They sometimes become dis
satisfied with it on account of some
thing which has slipped into its col
umns, and may stop taking it; but the
absence of the familiar sheet at theil
homes and offices for a few weeks be
comes an insupportable privation and
they hasten to take it again, and pos
sibly apologize FOR having stopped it
No friendship on earth is more con
slant than that contracted by TIL
, reader for a journal which makes al
honest and earnest effort to merit it
E continued support. Hence, a consc
/, %entiously conducted paper becomes
fayorite in the family"
