The Coinare Committee.

The Committee on Coinage, Weights
and Measures, announced in the House
yesterday by Speaker Carlisle, is made
up largely, as will be seen from the dis.
patches, of Western and Southern Repre-.
sentatives, and is thought by those here
who are at all familiar with the records
OF these Congressman, to have a sure
majority for silver coinage. There are
several members of the committee who
are known to have expressed very positive
sympathy for any measure which would
have for its object the suspension of the
silver dollar, but with Bland and ma
lority to stand with him on the right side,
il is thought to be decided victory on
the, silver question, and some of the
bankers and others here were manifest
ing their delight yesterday at the good
prospects for silver.

RECEPTION AT FORT DOUGLAS.
The Federal OFFICIALS rendered the
Honors by the Gallant sixth.

At little past o'clock this afternoon
long file OF Federal officials emerged
from the Walker House and took seats in
the five ambulances which we're in wait
ing, some of which, by the way, had the
appearance OF not having been used since
General Johnsons arrival here. The
ambulances were filed with Governor
Murray, Secretary Thomas, Marshal Ire
land, Commissioner Paddock, Judge
Zane, Clerk j. s. Zane, Deputy Clerk
Mcmillan, General Dement,, Postmaster
lynch, Postmaster-elect Browe, Judge
O. w. Powers, Prosecuting Attorney Bier
bower, of Ogden, etc., ETC., and were
driven to the Fort at as good rate OF
speed as the condition OF the roads and
the size OF the freight permitted.
The battery OF the Fifth Artillery was
drawn up as the Governor and party APP
preached the Fort and received the Off
Gals with salute of seventeen guns.
The guests were conducted to Recreation
Hall, where formal reception by the
officers of the Fort was extended, the
latter being in full uniform, after which
a concert, of eight select pieces, was rem
dered by the Sixth Infantry Band, re-
freshments being served in the interims.
1t was expected that a number of
speeches would be made by General Nc
Cook, Governor Murray and others, but
we were unable to obtain any report of
them before going to press.
Prosecuting Attorney Dickson and Com
missioner Mckay went to the Fort later
in the afternoon in private conveyance,
having been detained ON business from
accompanying the party. There were no
ladies invited, and the nature of the ex-
ercises were therefore different from what
some had expected.
Every effort had been put forth by
General McCook and the officers at the
Fort to make the affair an enjoyable one,
and tie party went away from the city in
the right kind OF a mood to have it such.

II. KOHLER ASSIGNS.
Hard Times Pushes Another Busi-
ness House 60 the wall.

Last evening the front window of
Kohler's Lamp and Oil Store, situated
just west OF the Theatre, became orna-
mented with large banner containing
the words George A. Luke, Assignee"
and in very short time there was to be
seen the manifestations of interest and
curiosity which usually characterize
such occasions. Very little could
be learned respecting the exact
and complete details of the failure
further than that MIR. Kohler had. sue
cumbed to the terrible pressure conse-
quent upon hard times, and that his liza
bilities would probably not reach more
than $4,000. Mr.. Luke, the assignee,
stated that he was not yet in possession
OF any particulars or figures rs to
the distribution Of the liabilities nor
as to the exact showing which it would
be possible to make out OF the resources.
There were no preferred creditors, he
said, and everything pertaining to the
business had been turned in. The stock
OF lamps, oils, etc., together with the
horse, harness and wagon used for deliv-
cry purposes, would, he thought, be
ample, II carefully disposed of, to cover
every dollar of the liabilities, although he
did not speak from positive knowledge,
as he had not yet examined into the de-
tails.
Mr.. Kohler is regarded by those who
have done business with him as an in
dustrious, honorable and careful business
man, which would lead to the belief that
hard times and dull business were the
causes wholly of the disaster. He has
not determined on any effort to extricate
and continue his business, but expresses
himself as DESTROYS of seeing every cred
itor satisfied.

Horn Silver Stock

One of the most interesting features OF
the week, says the New York Mining
Record, has been the advance in Horn
Silver, and although trading has not de-
veloped special activity, the value of the
stock has moved steadily upward. This
is the second time within few weeks
that the shares of this property have
undergone similar change. About
1920 shares have changed hands, few
sales being made on Saturday down as
low as $3.50 to S1,75, but since then up
to $3.50 to 1880 and the market left of
firm on Thursday at this latter figure.

Nabbed.

Charles Johnson and William Morgan,
who succeeded not long since in getting
away with twenty head OF horses from
Tooele, have been captured at Fillmore
and were brought up on last evenings
train from the south. They are in the
safe keeping OF the City Hall officials,
awaiting the arrival OF Sheriff Mcbride
OF Tooele, who is expected to convey the
prisoners to the district in which the
stealing was done. Eighteen head of the
horses were recovered and are now en-
route to Tooele.

An ENJOYABLE Reception.

Mr.. and Mrs. Elbridge Tufts gave a
most enjoyable reception to their friends
last evening, at their residence, lls f.
Third South street. The party was COM

Something Like a Home Production

The public are already aware of the
many virtues and excellencies OF that
Zine and stalwart young man who is as
deeply respected as he is widely known !"
that individual who is so good that he
has been translated from our midst
Joseph McMurrin. But the Buffalo E.r-
press tells OF pretty good young man.
The Express probably has not heard of
McMurrin, or it would not have written
in such glowing terms. 1t says:
more truly good even than the young
North Carolinian who shot himself because
he had accidentally entered girls bed
room, is Roger Clough, of New Haven, who
has applied to the city authorities for pro-
lection against Mary Adams, pretty shop
mate, who is making love to and wants TO
elope with him. The experience of the
world shows that Mr.. Clouch will bear
