TO INSPECT THE ASYLUM.
Utah,s Legislature, Commissioners
and n Host of Invited Go
to Provo To-day.

Three special cars left the d. & II. q.
depot this afternoon containing the legis-
lators, many Of the Federal and Terri
torial officials, representatives OF the press
and sprinkling of other prominent and
representative men. Receiver Bancroft
had made every arrangement in his
power to afford a pleasant transit for the
party, and at | O'Clock the train pulled
out with as varied and jolly a crowd Of
our citizens as was ever brought to-
gether from the several classes which
grace Utah society. The party will be
met at the Provo station and escorted by
Judge Dusenberry, DIR. Pike, \. o. Smoot
and others to the Asylum, where prepare
tions have been made for pleasant re-
ception. 1t is expected that an inspection
of the building, the facilities, system,
etc, of the Asylum will occupy the early
attention OF the visitors, and at 5 O'Clock
refreshments will be served. Tho even
ing will be spent in sort vi entertain
ment and reception, for which an inter.
esting programme of a musical and
literary character has been prepared and
without any reflection whatever on the
temperate habits Of the majority of the
company, the DEMOCRAT predicts jolly
time Tor the party.
i'm. B.-A rumor has just reached us
that Editor Heminway was one of the
passengers, but whether he was one Of
the number to be left at the Asylum OIL
merely an invited guest, it was impossi
BILE to ascertain; the former is more than
probable
The following list represents the gen
tlemen who had not notified the commit.
tee OF their inability to accompany the
party, and may therefore be taken as q
pretty correct showing of those who made
up the company who went with the leg
islators. The names of the latter are mo-

FOR UNLAWFUL COHABITATION.
Jonathan q. Chatterton Denies II,
Although His First wife
Alleges II.

This morning Deputies Smith, Gleason
and Franks were seen out unusually
early in the western part of town, and
about o'clock they returned with Jona-
than G. Chatterton, an engineer and ma
chinist in the employ of the Utah &
Nevada Railway Company. Chatterton
was arrested on the charge OF unlawful
cohabitation, and waived examination
when taken before Commissioner Mckay.
His case was taken up to the Grand Jury,
and bonds of $1,000 were fixed by the
Commissioner, but considerable difficulty
was experienced by Chatterton in obtain
ing the necessary sureties. Some OF the
parties who were communicated with by
telephone declined to go on his bonds,
and when last seen by our reporter he
had secured only one Of the two neces-
sary bondsmen.
Chatterton was indiscreetly free in his
talk and wasted quite an effort to con-
vince the deputies and everybody else
he met that he had not lived with his
polygamous wives for long while. 1t
transpires that he was communicated
from the Mormon church last year, and
He ClalillS W nave put away nv tiiae eillc
all of his wives but one. He was quite
sure that no case could be made against
him, and defed the law to prove his
guilt. His emphatic utterances in this
respect will appear singular enough when
the fact faces him that his own wife fur
nishes the evidence in the complaint, and
that she has fund OF evidence of the
most unmistakable character establishing
her husbands criminality beyond n
doubt Chatterton was probably not
aware OF this when he SO eloquently de-
fed the power of the courts to prove him
guilty.
Every effort to obtain bonds having
failed, Chatterton was requested to hold
himself in readiness TO go to the Pen,
and at half-past two o'clock Mr.. Cottrel,
one of the guards, conducted him to the
wagon and drove out to the Hotel de
Ireland.

ANGELIC ANGUS.
He Harangues at West Jordan and
Bcrates Bishop Sharp.

Angus M. Cannon is still ON the war
path. Within the past two weeks he de-
livered a rcd hot sermon at North Jordan
before large congregation assembled in
the meeting house of that town. He de-
nounced everybody in general who had
been frightened into obedience to the
Edmunds law, and dwelt with demona-
cal vehemence on Bishop John Sharp's
case in particular. He stated that he,
with others OF his brethren, had received
while at the pen new spring mattress,
which had been sent with the compl-
ments OF Bishop Sharp. Until he
had ascertained the source of the
appreciable gift he enjoyed its excellent
comfort immensely but when he learned
that it had come from one who had
renounced his wives and violated the
most sacred OF covenants he returned to
his former hard and undesirable couch,
which now had become paradise COM
pared with the gift OF dishonor. While
he was in the hottest Of his denuncation
OF the Bishop, niece OF the latter is re-
ported to have risen Indignantly and at
tempted to leave the hall, when her hus-
band, Mr.. Bennion, demonstrated with
her and persuaded her to remain. Mrs.
Bennion is one OF the many who are as
familiar with the virtues OF John Sharp
as they are cognizant of the hypocrisy and
arrogance of the fugitive Stake President
and displayed the same good judgment
that hosts OF Utah people would exercise
ii placed in position where they were
compelled to listen to such fragrant mis-.
representations.

LATEST DISPATCHES.
u,,ters,u,be ohio Legislature.

COLUMBUS, Ohio, January, 29.-The joint
Senate met at 10 n. M, and without trans
acting any business adjourned to tomorrow
morning, by previous agreement of the two
factions. The proposition and conference
committee which has in charge the arrange
ment of compromise measures was sub
mitted to the Democratic caucus this morn
ing and ratified. 1t has also been agreed to
by the Republican caucus. The proposition
is that special committee of six members,
of equal numbers politically, shall make an
investigation of the Hamilton county contest
cases and report the specific findings to
the Senate. The Conference committee re-
sumed its business at 1890, and expect to
have something further to report to the re-
spective caucuses by evening. The fight in
the committee now will be one of the main
issues, which is the rules which shall pre-
vail in contest cases, and whether in the dis
posing of the report to be made by the in
yestigating committe, three of the Hamil-
ton county members shall have the privilege
of voting on the fourth. The differences
are so great between the sides on this point
that It may result in killing all the compro-
mise measures which have been proposed.
The conference committee at the noon re-
cess had been unable to agree upon any
thing further, with indications that they
were getting further apart on tho main ISSUE.

Proof Against Bnrglars.

The United States Electric Company
have introduced here some novelties in
the way of burglar alarms, etc, which
are destined to become decidedly popular
in this city as well as elsewhere. BY a
most ingenious continuance, consisting of
wires, bells, and numerous supernumer-
aries which only electricians can de-
scribe, a residence can be made posi-
lively burglar proof, so far as rendering it
impossible for q person to enter the house
without sounding noisy alarm. The
system, when arranged completely
in q house, makes it impracticable
for entrance to be effected through
door, window or other opening
without arousing the household, no mat
ter how soundly the sleep may be- and
what may truly be looked upon as the
most astonishing feature in the whole
continuance, the gaslight may be thrown
on at the same moment that the alarm
is given, thus furnishing double ex-
posure to Mr.. Burglar. The system is one
which has already been demonstrated as
being simple in operation and at the same
time comparatively inexpensive. A mum
Der OF the finer residences recently
erected have adopted it, and in all cases
experiments have proved eminently sat
isfactory. A more general adoption of
the system would cause the burglary
depredations to grow wonderfully fewer

The Treasury,s COIN DeteeiIre

For many years | wondered whenever
met him whoan extraordinary man could
be. lie was Il man OF advanced wears,
with an enormous white mustache and a
gray imperial. He had little, stubbv
nose which was us red rs "a bit Of fire, and
his eyebrows grew together in a bunch. His
Inquire was tall, corpulent, and his man
ner martial. He was usually acconpaL-
led by little, dark-haired man, and was
one OF the hardest drinkers i'm New York.
IT was said at one time that it was impog.
slble to go into bar in any part OF New
York at any hour OF the day or night
without finding the Colonel, as he wns
called, already there.
lie died not long ago, and then acct
denitally found out that he was coin de-
tectiye OF amazing ability. He was in
the Treasury. and was usually discharged
seven or eight times year. The cause
ol his discharge was intemperance.
Enough he was 80 frequently dismissed.
he never had any difficulty in getting
back again, as it was impossible TO nc.
place him. lie could run his hand
Through barrel Of coin and pull out ali
me counteneits with his eyes closed,
lie was never known to make mistake
and his touch was accuracy seif.-BrooE,

Death of Hattie Chambers.

Last evening at little past Z o'clocl,
Miss Hattie Il. Chambers, the young lady
who was so dangerously hurt in coast.
ing accident about two weeks ago, was
relieved from her intense sutferings by
the visitation OF death. She had been in
a precarious state most of the time since
the accident, and had been unable to re-
tain much nourshnent OF any kind, and
had thus grown weaker and weaker 1t
was not thought, however, even by her
physician, DIR. Anderson, that SO sad u
termination of her trouble would ensue,
and the shock which her demise has pro-
duced in the household, where she was
greatly beloved, is too distracting to wit
ness. The young lady had just passed
the anniversary of her sixteenth birth
day, and had been popularity admired as
result oil most amiable and sweet dis
position. Her parents, Mr. and Mrs. N.
q. Chambers. and their family, will have
the deepest sympathy OF the community.
