Brisacler VS.. Gillespie.

The case OF III. Brisacher VS.. j. X. Gill
lespie, in which last year judgment by
default was rendered for the plaintiff
through the non-appearance OF defendant
or his attorney, was finally disposed OF
this morning. The case was reinstated
Immediately after the decision last year,
upon the fact being explained that Mr..
Gillespie's attorney had forgotten the
date set for trial, and II jury trial was
granted this morning. \ good deal
OF evidence was taken in reference to
the county script sold by Gillespie
to the plaintiff, and the case went TO the
jury just before the morning adjournment,
with instructions to haye sealed verdict
handed in. This afternoon the Court
announced judgment for the defendant,
Mr., Gillespie, the jury having so reported.
| This exonerates Mr.. Gillespie from the
alleged responsibility OF selling bogus or
valueless script to Mr.. Brisacher, which
was really the charge upon which the
suit was brought.

no OGDEN MORMON ORATOR.
A Promised Debate on the Authen-
ITCHY of the Book of Mormon
Has TO be Abandoned.

The Rev. Mr.. Lamb, OF this city, deliv-
cred series OF lectures in Ogden some
two weeks ago, in which he brought out,
among other arguments against Mormon
ism, several points relating to the Book
of Mormon, contained in his recently
published pamphlet. At one of the
meetings Mormon Bishop named John
Stoddard arose and challenged the lee
turer to public debate, asserting that he
(Stoddard) considered himself compc-
tent to disprove every argument adj
vanced against Mormonism. Mr.; Lamb
stated that he would consider the mat
ter OF public discussion, and the follow
ing day wrote letter OF acceptance. a
committee of three was appointed by
mutual consent, and Monday March Sth,
designated for opening the debate.
Meanwhile, Bishop Stoddard had occa-
sion to take the Underground" and Mr..
Lamb, who had returned in the mean
time to this city, was asked by letter ii it
would be satisfactory to have the COM
mittec agree upon Some other Mormon as
substitute. This proposition was de-
clared acceptable, and the matter has re-
NAMED there until this morning, when
Mr.. Lamb received the following letter
from Ogden, which evidently shows that
the debate has been abandoned:
OGDEN Utah, March 6, 1886.
| Brother Lamb: 1 have just learned that
the committee have failed to secure any one
| to represent the Mormon side of the debate
with you this week. gave our member OF
the committee your last letter, and he read
| it to the rest of the committee, and l guess
it frightened them. At any rate they de-
clare day that they have secured no man
l think they have decided to put an explana
ton in all the papers-our part of the com
mittee in our papers, their part in theii
papers. l will send you the papers of this
place that you may see what is said. The
GENTLE element all declare it is the best
thing the Mormons could do. And the bes
thing is n miserable failure.
Your brother,
FRANK BARNETT.

ONE MORE UNFORTUNATE.
r. 4. Cooper Decides to Live His
Religion ana DO six Months
i'm the Pen.

The first business OF Importance that
came up before His Honor Judge Zane
this morning was the sentencing OF F. A
Cooper, of West Jordan. Mr.. Cooper
was requested to stand forth, and the
Judge said:
"You are aware, Mr.. Cooper, pre-
sumo, that you have been found guilty OF
the crime OF unlawful cohabitation, and
that to-day was appointed for your sem
tencc. Are you able to say that you will
obey the law in the future?'
ID can't say exactly what shall do in
the future. expect TO take care OF my
family as have done in the past.
JUDGE suppose yon know that you
are liable to arrest again after you come
out OF the penitentiary. The court will
fine you $500 and all costs and commit
you to the penitentiary for the term OF six
months, hoping you may reform while
you are in the penitentiary.
Mr.. Cooper manifested some anxiety
to have his bondsmen released, and the
anxiety was fully shared by the bonds
men themselves. In the Marshal's Office
it was ascertained that they had become
sureties on only one OF the three indict-
ments, and they were eXonerated with
out further process.
Cooper maintained jolly good humor,
and wanted to know what he was to dc
about dinner, his brother interposing the
timely information that the prisoner had
been "a good liver and always takes his
meals regular" Somebody present sug
gested that it was good time right now
to begin to train for the "barbarou'
grub and "stinking meat" which he

ALMOST A DISASTROUS FIRE.
A small Blaze Produces n Small
Scare In the Descret Bank
building

What came very near to being a seri-
Gus conhagration broke out in the Deseret
National Bank building this morning.
Mr.. George Swan, Secretary OF the Utah
Central Railway Company, who has his
office on the second floor, Immediately
over the company's general office, had
been in his office but short time when
he detected smell of smoke, and pro-
ceeded with Mr.. Junck, whose office is
Immediately adjoining, to investigate the
cause. The second room east of Mr..
Swans Office was found to be one mass
OF flames, and a general alarm was at
once given to the men in the building.
All OF the fire grenades in the several
offices, amounting to twenty-four, were
broken and thrown into the blaze without
the least apparent favorable result, and
the hose was next brought into play, but
had scarcely been gotten into position
when it broke, literally immersing the
gentlemen handling it. A bucket brigade
got in effectual work and succeeded by a
persistent effort in squelching the flames.
1t was the greatest possible wonder
that the whole building was kept from
being enveloped, as the room in question
was almost filled with papers, belonging
principally to the Horn Silver Mining
Company. Many of the least valuable
of these, together with large table and
everything else in the room, were con.
sumed or badly damaged, and the entire
premises were seriously saturated with
water, which continued dripping down
into the rooms below most of the day
The fire undoubtedly resulted from d
spark flying through the exposed hole in
the flue which connects with the bank
e-place below, and also with the Utah
Central general office. 1t occurred soor
after the fire in the bank had beer

from the bottom OF the working Wine in
the New Shaft.
The shipments OF ore from the mines
to the mill, averaged thirty-nine tons per
day, last week.
The bullion output OF the Christy Com
pany, for the month OF February, was
q 900 ounces of silver.
Everything is running smoothly ut
both mill and mines, and the usual
quantity of ore is being crushed.
The main incline in the Buckeye &
Savage has been sunk $50 feet below the
600-foot level, and a cross-cut was started
for the hanging wall at Il point 125
feet below the sixth, leaving stump
twenty-five feet in depth.
Work on the cross-cut in the Thomp-
son is progressing, and the ledge is inn
proving as the foot wall is approached.
A streak of very good ore was encoun-
tered this week. The mine is now pro-
ducing an average OF 100 tons Of ore per
month.
The following ore shipments were made
to the Christy Mill this week: Couch &
Knowlton, eighteen tons from the Silver
Flat; NJ. Shoemaker, eleven tons from the
Maggie; James Mcdonald, five tons from
the Tecumseh; Lockridge & Robinson,
five tons from the Tecumseh.
The new teaching works are running
through between seventy-tivc and eighty
tons OF mill tailings every twenty-foul
hours, with hattering results. Ii the
same success will be met in reducing raw
ores, and if chloriders will be paid ;
bonus for SIS and 500 rock, there will bt
rs many miners at work on the White
Reef, before summer is over, as there are
now at work in the mines on the Buckley,
Reef. The owners and lessees OF the
Bonanza, Honest Miner, Leeds, Littl,
Chief, Silver Gate, Gisburn and Other
mines on that side are anxiously waitin;
to see what price the new company cal
afford to give for custom ores. These
mines have thousand of tons OF ore il
sight that will assay from $l5 to $50 pc

The Mexican Orchestra.

The Los Angeles (Cal.) Times says of
the Mexican Typical Orchestra: 1t is
fair to say that the fame OF this company
which had long preceded them was not a
whit overdrawn. They produce some
most exquisite melody, and tits, withal, so
novel that it fairly captivatcs the listen
ers. 1t may be said that the audience
fairly went into ecstacies throughout the
performance, applauding in the very in
tervals of piece and demanding repe-
tition OF each. The playing of Pro-
lessor Eucarnacion Garcia on his
ninety-nine stringed instrument, which
much resembles an old dulcimer,
was especially melodious. The
clarionet solo by Senior Adrian Galarza
was rapturously encored and repetition
insisted on. Senior Carlos Curtis xylo-
phone also made great hit. The Mex
lean dance, Gel Jarabee Mexicano," was
immense, and the audience demanded a
repetition and stayed TO see it.
Lovers of genuine melody cannot afford
to ignore the Mexican troupe, and their
opening engagement at the Salt Lake
Theatre this evening will doubtless prove
an event of interest TO the musical por
ton OF our community.

There is a constant increase in overland
travel over the C. p, Il, II. since the big

" Desilverized Non-Argen- Total

For the producing section in Missouri,
Kansas, Illinois and Wisconsin the esti-
mate OF l,750 tons, made by Messrs.
John Wahl & Co., OF St, Louis, has been
accepted. No allowance was made in
1885 for the quantity of lead in Missouri
and Kansas ore purchased by desilver-
iZers
1t must be noted that the receipts OF
desilverizer5 upon which the estimate OF
production is based were in 1885 increased
by stocks OF base bullion carried over
from 1884 product, notably by Lcadvillc
smelters, but forwarded in 1885. The
actual output of lead in the country was
therefore somewhat less even than the
return shows, say 1901 600 to l20, 900 short
tons, indicating very heavy decline.
Consumption called for II larger guam
tity, and stocks were drawn upon 1t is
estimated by good authority that thus II
stock OF 1900 tons on January LIST, 1885,
was reduced to 5000 tons ON January LIST,

AN INTERESTING WAR PAPER.
shiloh and the Part General Me.
Cookies Division Acted.

Among the many war papers that have
appeared in the Century Magazine treat
ing on the famous battle OF Shiloh, there
have been few indeed more interesting
than the contribution OF General Don
Carlos Buel. which is given in the Cen
tu,y for March. OF course it views the
field from General Buel's standpoint, and
is, therefore, as might be expected,
slightly at variance with General Grants
recitation OF the details, but, in the mat
ter of important facts, offers no particu-
lar difference. OF the several portrait
engravings accompanying the article, Il
very excellent one of General Alex.
McD. McCook becomes at once an at
traction to the Century readers in Utah.
The cut represents the General in his
recognized In referring to the various
opinions OF Union officers regarding the
very important part which General Nc
| Cooks division performed ut Shiloh, the
writer quotes the following, from the pen
OF General Sherman:
| "Willich's regiment had been repulsed,
| but whole brigade OF McCook's division
advanced beautifully, deployed and en-
tered this dreaded woods. = Iconcedt
that General McCook's splendid division
from Kentucky drove back the enem,
along the Corinth road, which was tn,
great central line OF this battle"
The writer, in commenting on thu
reports of General Sherman and others
says:
1.-THE conclusion to be drawn iron
these several reports is that, at this stag
OF the battle, McCook's division reaches
across and practically connected til
army OF the Ohio with Wallace's division
which formed the extreme right OF Grant
force, and that its steady valor and e
fective service, not without the co-opers

mans commands, decided the issue {
