Rulings of the Courts Relative to Cases
of POiysamy.

SALT LAKE CITY, Feb. 7.
This morning raids were made by the dep
uty marshals on the residences of George o.
Cannon, of the Mormon first presidency His
supposed latest polygamous wife who had
avoided the service of summons, heretofore
and other persons were subp1ned to appear
and testify before the grand jury. U. s.
District Attorney Dickson offers reward of
$500 for the capture of Cannon. The terri
torlal supreme court has rendered decision
sustaining the conviction of Apostle Lorenzo
Snow of unlawful cohabitation. The court
recites that Snow, on Nov. lst, married two
women at one ceremony, and the contract
was therefore null and void He then mar
ried successfully other women, all of whom
he supports and holds out to the world as his
wives. This is shown by testimony, while
at the same time he dwells regularly with
Minnie, his latest polygamous wife, who has
a three months old child. The court says
this is one of the most fragrant cases of po-
lygamy in the territory and that no error
was made in convicting Snow. The court
also sustains the conviction of Brigham
Yong Sampson of conspiring to establish dis
reputable houses for the purposes of Turing
thither prominent Gentiles, and saws the tes-
timony disclosed a wicked and disgraceful
conspiracy which must be condemned by all.

The Ice in the River at st. Louis Broken
Up by Dynamite.

ST. LOUIS, Feb. Z.
In anticipation of the possible damage to
vessels and other property about the harbor
here in the event of sudden rise in temper
ature, accompanied by rain, causing the ice
to gain in the river, the ice along the banks
for mile have been broken up with dyna-
mite. opening up a channel, which permits
steamers and other craft to safe quarters be-
hind dyke, and land projections in the lower
part Of the city. Should the ice start on a
high rise from the Missouri river the result
would in all likelihood be destructive, but
should it move out quietly under the simple
influence of mild weather it is hoped but lit
tie damage will be done.

II is now seven weeks since the occurrence
of the terrible disaster in slope ! of the Sus-
quehanna Coal Co. at Nantcoke, by which
&c men lost their lives. Every effort that
human ingenuity could suggest has been
made to recover the bodies, but without sue
cess. The work of clearing up the gangways
is not progressing az rapidly as when first
begun, as the culm and quicksand are now
one compact mass, which is very difficult to
remove 1t is thought it will be weeks and
possibly months We, before the spot where
the bodies are supposed to be can be reached.
1t is thought that when the fourth counter,
which is now 500 feet away, is reached the
work will be dangerous to lite. Up to eight
O'Clock last evening IL feet of pipe had been
put down and there yet remains l75 feet to
be drilled. The officials cay that beyond all
doubt the men are dead and that the drilling
of holes is done to satisfy the relatives of the
unfortunate men.

by the recent storm as very heavy, along the

is greater than in any previous winter. No
reliable estimate of the loss can yet be made,

total loss in Pan Handle county may reach
200, 900 head.
