CITY COUNCIL PROCEEDINGS.
salt Lake and Fort Douglas Rail-
way Charter-The Poll Tax
Question.

Last nights session OF the City Council
witnessed the transaction ofthe following
business:
Retail liquor licenses were granted to
A. f. Youngberg and A. j. Peacock.
William Pierson petitioned for free
license to peddle his linen goods. Re-
ferred.
The Mayor and city attorney reported
that the Salt Lake and Fort Douglas rail-
road had forfeited its charter by a failure
to comply with the terms thereof, and
recommended that thirty days notice be
given the company requesting compli-
ance with the provisions. The report
was adopted.
w. G.. Graham was granted free
license for three months.
David b. Adelard was granted free
license for three months TO peddle fruit.
+. j. Newson was granted license
free to peddle luncheons for three
months.
The Auditors report was found by the
Committee OH Finance to be correct, and
ordered printed.
A special committee reported that they
had visited the old millsite at City Creek
canyon, and that it could be utilized to
advantage by the waterworks; that addi-
tional pressure should be obtained in the
mains for fire service; that the dry bench
should be supplied with water from that
source; that the old building ought to be
preserved by new roof: that plans and
estimates should be made, etc. The re-
port was adopted.
The resolution giving notice OF the for
fixture of the Salt Lake & Fort Douglas
Railway was read, specifying that the
company did not commence work at the
time designated had not graveled the
street, put in culverts, or in any way
complied with the terms OF the contract
and declaring that the franchise had beer
forfeited. The resolution was adopted.
The bill for an ordinance in relation tc
poll tax passed its second reading witt
several amendments. Mr.. Taylor moved
to strike out all except the title and inter.
section repeating the old ordinance This

man was the one who generally paid tn,
tax such man paid as much poll tai
as ii he owned full livery livery stable
thousands OF people in Salt Lake neve

The POstofIice Change.

Our new Postmaster, Mr.. w. c.. Browe.
returned from the national capital last
evening, bringing with him his commits
sion from the Department OF the Interior.
Mr.. Browe was seen by DEMOCRAT
reporter this morning and asked respect
ing the date OF his taking hold OF the
postoffice. He expected, he said, to take
possession on April LIST. In regard to
any changes in the force of clerks and
other employees he was not able to say
just what would be DONE He had en-
gagged but one man thus far, and he would
be paid as a private assistant. At Wash
ington he had enjoyed very pleasant
visit, and had been privileged with per-
sonal interview with President Cleveland.
His trip was made additionally enjoyable
by his finding his father still alive, as it
had scarcely been expected that the old
gentleman would last out many years.

Captured as q Witness.

Mrs. Agatha Pratt Ridges, the mother
OF Florence, was captured very ingeni-
ously last night by Deputies Franks and
Cudihee. She had carefully slipped into
the family residence in the Nineteenth
ward, doubtlessly to replenish her stock
OF provisions, and the officers, who had
been keeping close vigil OF her move
ments, presented themselves and a war
rant OF arrest at the door about o'clock.
The lady, as well rs the family, was taken
terribly by surprise, but manifested no
disposition to resist the process OF the
law. She was taken down to the Mar.
shal's Office and required to furnish bonds
in the sum of $3.50, and was this morning
placed on the stand before the Grand
Jury. Several other witnesses have been
subpGnaed, and the officers seem deter
mined to make out clear case against
Mr.. Dean.

REMOVAL OF THE POSTOFFICE.
A Hsumor That 1t Is to be Trans
ferrcd to the Opera House Block.

Something OF sensational rumor was
heard whispered on the street this morn
ing, that the postoffice would probably
be removed to the Walker Opera House
building, as soon as such change could
be conveniently effected. 1t is said that
at the time Mr.. Sharp Walker consented
to endorse Mr.. Browe's bonds it was
either stipulated as condition, or sug
gestively mentioned, that such transfer
should be made, and it is further reported
that Mr.. Browe gave the assurance that
he would petition the Postmaster-G General
to that end. Those who expressed an
opinion on the subject to-day were unre-
served in stating that the change had
been in contemplation for long
while, and that good deal OF
quiet, effective work had been got
ten in for its consummation. Parties
were heard to refer to the assault made
upon the Wasatch building by the 7ri-
btne this morning as the opening fire,
and that other influences would be
brought to bear in the direction OF the
transfer.
Mr.. Sharp Walker is out OF town at
present, and therefore nothing could be
learned from that source. OF course it is
q matter on which none OF the interested
parties would care to express any COM
ments, because of the immature condi
ton OF the project, but we give the re
port for what it is worth, believing that
there is very probably something more
than rumor in it.

A Hat Which Takes Photographs.

The last new thing in hats beats all
that has gone before it, and is scarcely
likely to be equaled by anything that can
follow after it. Herr Luders, OF Coritz,
has patented a Photographic hat-or u
photographing hat. The novel headdress
contains in its upper part small photo
graphic apparatus and number OF pre-
pared plates. In the front Of the hat
there is a small circular opening, be-
hind which the lens il fixed BY means
OF string on the outside OF the hat, its
wearer, whenever he finds himself en-
loying pleasant view attended by an
agreeable person, can instantaneously
photograph the landscape, the lady or
the gentleman unConsciously within
range OF his instrument.
That hat will probably be in demand
by two sorts Of persons-by lovers and
detectives. The former, by merely
pulling string, can SET the image Of his
beloved not only in his heart, but in his
hat. The gelatine-bromide plates in the
specimen exhibited by Herr LADDERS are
3sx3S millimcters in size; but, ii one
does not object to wearing u very large
hat, the plates may be propOrtionately
Increased in size. The potentially Of
the hat for police purposes hardly needs
to be described.-S Jdmes' Gdzettc.

LOST on THE DESERT.
Two Miners Have "a Rough Experi-
ence doing Down to the
sulphur Mines.

Somewhere about the 10th OF the pres
ent month, Mr. Ferdinand Dickert, pro-
prietor OF the sulphur mines, engaged
two men, Frick and TRENT, to 90 out to
his mine, and they went by train as far
as Black Rock. 1t was expected that a
team would be in waiting to convey them
to their destination, and Mr.. Dickert in
structcd them particularly TO wait for it
should it not be there on their arrival.
These directions were, however, ignored,
and the men set out afoot over the hills.
When within a short distance OF Antelope
Springs, where they arrive about o'clock
the next morning, they encountered
severe snow storm, and wandered about
over the lava ridges for five days in q
starved and desperate condition. On the
morning of the fifth day they separated,
going in opposite directions, and Prick
soon ran across sheep herder, who
guided him to the mine. TRENT was less
fortunate, and wandered around for an
other twenty-four hours, until he was al
most too exhausted for further effort
The following day he also struck a herd
er's camp, and was taken to the mine.
| Both men were found to be IN perfectly
PROSTATE condition, and Prick was
thought to be seriously frost-bitten.
Mr. Dickert, when advised OF the Incl.
dent, telegraphed his brother at the
mine to have the men forwarded al
once to this city for medical care, il they
were dangerously injured. Prick came
in on last nights train and was taken t.
st. Mary's Hospital for treatment. Hi:
feet were badly frozen, but the extent o
his injuries has not yet been ascertained
His companion is not thought to have
suffered as severely, and will remain a

The Girls all In Red.

Every girl and woman is now wear
ing red in some way or other" said n
modistc to reporter OF the New York
Mail and Erpress recently. "a few
weeks ago it was all yellow, but now you
don't see any yellow at all The red
started in with bow in the hats or bon
nets, then the hats became all red,
trimmed with black silk cord, and were
made like the Lillian Russell hat, Then
the craze for red extended to gowns. The
street costume, or red sack trimmed with
black silk cord-a very military looking
coats all the style, and the more
military the better. For the opera red
gowns are quite proper, Everything il
red; red gowns, red slippers, red feathers
red from head to foot. Most of the red
dresses are cut very low and are trimmed
with white lace. A costume that caused
a great sensation was worn by Il young
lady at the opera recently. One-half hel
waist was red silk and one-half white
lace, the line OF separation running from
the left shoulder obliqucly across heI
waist to right side Of belt. 1t looked a,
ii a loose, red waist had slipped far dowr
over the right shoulder"

Nine. Emma Nevada-Palmer must be
in sad and pensivc mood just now. Her
grand concert tour has come to sudden
termination, with the exchequer in a

inadequate, as Il magnet, to draw the I'M
willing shekels from the pockets OF your
