TWO NEW ROADS THIS WAY.
The &. a n. w. and the &. B. a u.
Are Coming 10 salt Lake.

A gentleman who has just returned
from an extended trip through Wyoming,
states that there are two new railroads
being built along the North Platte and
that both are said to be headed for Salt
Lake.
The first OF these is said to belong to
the c. & n. w. Company, but OF course
the matter is being kept as quiet as posi-
BILE. The grade is being built at the rate
of mile day, and between three and
four thousand men are employed in the
work. The route is long distance north
OF the U. =. line, and i. now heading to-
ward Lander, though it is hardly
possible that the main line will run so
far north as that town. At a point
somewhere near Lander the route will
run to the southwest through South Pass
and across the Colorado Desert, and
thence on to this city.
The other grade, supposed to be owned
by the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy, is
being built quite near to the Northwestern
road and the general direction is the
same. About 1000 men are working on
this road and it is also making rapid
progress If all goes well about six
months more will see the engines of two
more great roads steaming into SaltLake.

CHRISTMAS GLIMMERINGS.

Odors OF rich and dainty viands, our
modern substitute for frankincense and
myrrh, are being cast as offerings on the
the circumambient air. From the brains
OF Tact and Genius thoughts leap which
become tangible in maryels, almost
miracles OF handiCraft Representative
trades and occupations Of every descrip-
ton hang their banners on the outer
walls" and fling defiance before the
vaults which hold the ducats Of nation.
Now humanity seems to be in earnest
and to avoid shams. Rivalry, pardon
able in its motive and results, has become
an endemic, harmless, however, in its
milder form, but detrimental TO society.
and even to the body polite if exasper,
lted into rabies. The stranger within
our gates will reflect as he studies the
taste and art exhibited in our various and
multliorm Christmas displays, that both
saints and sinners Of Zion are indeed
blushing with life and moving in the very
midst and morning Of the times. TO en-
pIoy very trite, but suggestive Ameri-
canlsm, It's very "cold day" when the
men OF the West get left" As a class
none are more severely linical and
eXactlng in regard TO proper and
appropriate artistic exhibits as are the
rolllcking and, every day alike, smiling
butchers their rosy look and independ-
ent walk, and merry twinkling eye, all
speak OF the coming leasts Of Christmas.

SEALED TO THE DEAD.
John P.'s Troubles Are All Caused by
His Marriage to Poor Little
Harmless Dead Woman.
His Pride Takes a Tumble and lie VIII
Boast no MOre-He Was Sealed
Almost Too Tight
He Is at Last Discharged From Custody
and Will Handle His Tongue More
Carefully in the Future.

The sorrows OF John p. Sorenson were
at last ended to-day by his being dis
charged by Judge Mckay, after the eX-
animation OF couple OF witnesses.
The sister-in-law OF the defendant was
called and said that she knew he had but
one wife, and Mrs. Sorenson herself was
sent for and swore that she was the sole
possessor Of her husbands
FfLIAL AFFECTIONS,
And more positively that he passed all
his time out OF business hours with her.
1t was plain that case could not be
made out from such evidence as had
been given, and Judge Mckay therefore
discharged the defendant and eXonerated
his bond.
The story OF Mr.. Sorenson, as told by
one who should know, is very simple yet
affecting. 1t appears that John p. had
become very Jealous in the faith and was
DESTROYS OF attaining celestial glory in the
world to come; but in connection with
this desire he also had a wish to enjoy
little of the joy of the world to go, and
therefore did not wish to put the finger
OF martydom into his ecclesiastical pie.
Like all good saints who have will,
Brother Sorenson found a way, and
it was not long before he was
OUT OF TROUBLE.
He learned one day OF the death of q
young sister, who, he thought, would
make lovely angel in the sweet here
after, and from that time his course was
clear. Applying to the Church author
tiles, Sorenson received recommends
| ton to 90 into the Temple and have him
self sealed to the defunct sister The
! ceremony was performed and Sorenson
BECAME A PoLYG.
His pride was too much for him, and in.
stead OF remaining modestly at home
and receiving the congratulations OF his
friends, he rushed out to tell every one OF
his new acquisition. He was not satisfied
with an ordinary crow, but he had tC
place himself on a pinnacle, where he
was espied by the United States officials
They heard OF Sorenson's boast that he
was polygamist and that the law coult
not touch him, and so they decided tC
try.
Thus it was that Sorenson was arrested
and tits in the effort to prove that his othe
wife is dead that Sorenson has consumed
the week. He came very near being
sealed too tight and was pretty badly
frightened by the efforts made to prove
him guilty but it is pretty certain tina
he will be more careful in the future.

JUNIUS JUNIOR
Again Asks the Taxpayers and
voters of Ogden city:

Do you know that in the last weeks of
January, 1885, when the political waves
were running high, l.. w. Shurtlihf, then,
and now, President OF the Weber Stake
OF Zion, m ade an explicit and decided
threat and demand that no whisky
dealer" should be admitted into the city
government. This referred, did it not,
Mr.. Shurtlif, to VIM. Driver? And did
not you, the same Mr.. Shurtliff,
finally acquiesce to said VIM.
Driver, though whisky dealer, becom-
ing member OF the said City Council ?
Did it not take You, Mr.. Driver, at least
four weeks OF daily intercourse in the
Ogden Herald office to try to get some
sense in him? And then, the dull brain
OF the President OF the Weber stake re-
fused having itself impressed with the
importance OF obeying and complying
with the law. Do you remember, Mr..
Shurtlif, that you then and there said
that no whisky man should go into the
Council? repeat this. know it to be
true, and so do you, and so does one of
your probable candidates for the mayor

There was good sized audience at the
Theatre last night on the occasion OF the
Home Dramatic Clubs great success,
Confusion" and Notwithstanding its
frequent repetition, the play was received
with rapture by everyone present. There
was the same smoothness OF action no.
ticeable as on the other occasions, and in
fact, there was nothing lacking to make
it first-class amateur performance.
Wells and Spencer in the leading roles
were immense, and Cummings and
Young followed close upon their
heels. Miss Whitney in the leading lady
role, OF course had part too heavy, but
shows good talent, and with experience
she will be valuable acquisition to the
Club. Birdie Cummings and Ivy Claw
son were good as usual and balanced the
play with easy acting. As a whole, the
piece went off very nicely, and the ar.
tistic success was greater than the
financial.

The story Of COhab. Who Was
shot Al.

The unfortunate Parowan affair recalls
an incident which occurred at Springvlle
a few months ago, but has never yet
been published.
While visiting the house OF cohab. in,
the settlement above named the deputies
had no trouble whatever in getting the
witnesses, but as they came through the
back door the chief object OF their call
started for the front exit. Just as he was
about to reach the open air an officer who
was standing at the back door fired ont
into the ground in direction diametri-
cally opposite to that taken by the fleeing
brother. Falling across the threshold,
the cOhab. began to groan and his life
blood began to ebb at such rate that he
would have expired in few moments
had not the gruH voice OF deputy called
him back to life. "Get up, didn't shoot
your way" was uttered, and in less than
