MURDER OLE HANS ZIMMERMAN


at the poor farm on Monday morning,
January T. Zimmerman was an inmate
of the asylum. and there was mystery
surrounding his case which aroused con-
Siderable of sensation At first it was
thought that Zimmerman had died from
natural causes. as he was victim of kid
ney disease. After his death several ugly
wounds were discovered about his head
which led to the belief that be had been
foully dealt with The coroner's jury
made thorough Investigation, and re-
turned the following verdict
We, the jury, find that deceased came
20 his death from chronic inflammation
OF the bladder and from I'M uries received
on the head, and we believe that said in
juries FASTENED his death. but from the
evidence are unable to say how or by
whom said injuries were Inflicted, and we
believe that there was negligence shown
In the treatment of said Hans Thinner
man during his sickness.

OCEAN STEAMSHIPS.

Our dispatches bring news of the miss
ing steamer "Anchoria," and that she is
all right but that she has broken her
main shaft, and is nearing st. Johns
under sail. This will relieve the appre.
tensions Of all who had an interest in the
ship, and should teach the people gener-
ally that when a ship is overdue, it
is no reason that she should be believed
to be lost. All of these great ocean
racers have done away with large spars
and sails and all such which comes under
the peculiar name OF "top hamper" and
are also fitted with smoke stacks that can
be made to telescope in order to offerlittle
resistance to head winds. These ships
are all liable to break their machinery
just where the Anchoria broke hers, i. e.,
on the main shaft or the cranks of the
shaft, and then, being without the neces-
sary means to weld the break, they must
make what little sail they have, in order
to keep the ship in her regular track and
thus be liable to meet ships going in the
opposite direction, and send news of her
condition to land, 1t is not generally re-
membered that the distance from land to
land, or from the old head of
Kinsale, in Ireland, to the coast
of Newfoundland is ,44O miles,
and that even under sail, such ship
with fair or leading winds is apt to be a
long time coming as she cannot make
but about 80 miles per day. She is just
as safe, however, in Il seaway Us ii she
had steam, for though her sail is not suf-
ticient to move her great bulk through
the water fast, it is plenty to trim her in
all weathers and cause her to clay to" in
the heaviest seas with ease. These ships
always have plenty stored provisions
and though the enforced wait uses up the
delicacies OF the table, there are always
plenty OF substantial foods at hand and
no one is likely to want. Blame is
placed on the Captain OF the Anchoria
for not signalling his condition to the
Bulgaria, Of the same line, bound in the
opposite direction. 1t should he remem-
bered that ii he did, and the Bulgaria
came to him she could render him no as.
sstance, but only delay her own passen-
gers who have equal rights with those on
the Anchoria for swift transit. The
sending OF the First Officer to land in Il
life-boat to report the ships condition
proves that the Captain feels the awk-
wardness of his passengers po-
sition, and did all he could to
lessen it. A collision which
would sink both ships, or an explosion
of boilers which would leave not one to
tell OF it, are the only causes now feared
for ocean steamers, and in either of the
above cases, some ship crossing the
place where such disaster occurred would
find some trace OF the lost ship soon
after. In short, the chances for the 10 IS
of life on Atlantic steamships are now re-
duced TO a minimum, and those who have
friends on missing ships should never
give way to fears until long after the ship
is reported missing.

STATESMEN of the Democratic persua-
sion are always highly praised by Repub-
lican organs when dead or dying Since
Secretary Manning was Frustrated and
supposed to be permanently disabled,
Republican papers OF the most radical
stamp freely acknowledged his worth,
and pronounced him big man. Now
that he is reported to be about to resume
his duties as Secretary OF the Treasury,
these organs will not be long in discover

their estimation OF his character and abil-

THE ANARCHISTS.

The remarks of Judge Geary to the con-
demned Anarchists in Chicago on Satur-
day, contained the ablest arraignment OF
Anarchists and all others of that ilk, that
has appeared in print for some time.
Judge Geary told them, just as the DEM
ocRAT has said, that their speeches were
made to reach the ears of their dupes
outside, in the hope that a feeling OF sym
pathy might be created, that would lead
to steps for their freedom, even ii force
were used to gain it. The authorities oil
Chicago are now fully on their guard,
and it looks as If one case OF justice to
murderers in that city, will be duly car
ried out according to law. That the
growth of Anarchy or its believers has
reached the dangerous stage in America,
is proven by our dispatches to-day,
wherein is related plot that was hatched
in this country for the overthrow OF the
Austrian Government, and all OF it, to
the beginning of overt acts, without the
knowledge Of the authorities. 1t is fair
to assume that such plots, having their
object here in America have also been
hatched, and held in allegiance till the
outcome of the Chicago trials could be
learned. Now that it is known that these
men must die, it is likely that all such
steps will be abandoned for the present,
and the authorities in great laboring cen
ters should see to it, that these plots are
not revived and permitted to be again a
menace to the people. The thought OF
the brave fellows who withstood that fire
on the night Of the Haymarket massacre,
and sent volley for volley, though sur
prised themselves, gives proof that moth
ing which physical courage can do will
be wanting to execute the law in this
case, and hope that Chicago at least will
not be held as a good place topreach like
doctrines again. The indignant dis
caimer made by PowderIy in his Rich
mond speech, respecting Anarchism and
all things like it, was opportune, as it ar
rays all OF honest labor against such doc
trnes and the men who preach them, and
makes them outcasts from the men they
sought to raise.

BUSINESS AND BANKS.

The New York World devotes five col
umns to thorough review OF the present
prospect of trade all over the country.
The report shows a very general and
steady improvement in all classes of
trade. Not in the shape Of a boom, but
healthy reaction and advance in the
price of staples. Wool is advancing
rapidly, and stocks are nearly sold out.
Merchants are making larger purchases
than usual this year. Most encouraging
reports come from all the mercantile CEN
tres of the country, and are not confined
to any one locality. A few more fifteen
million bond calls will hasten the good
times coming. While the bonds furnish
opportunity for safe investment OF all
capital, with exemption from taxation,
capitalists will be slow to take any
chances in the productive interests of the
country. Pay off the bonds with the
Treasury surplus, and the fullness of good
times will soon come again. This the
keynote to the whole business The
National banks do not, of course, take
kindly to the rapid payment of bonds,
Some protest, some implore and some
even threaten, but the Administration
doesn't scare worth cent. With refer
ence to the "threat" OF several National
banks to give up their circulation and
withdraw from the National banking svs-
TEN, Treasurer Jordan says
You can rest assured that no bank will
carry out that threat. first, because the stu
alton for them is not at all stringent. and
they are in no danger of being driven to the
wall, or even cramped by these bond cals
secondly, because there are no State laws
under which these banks can recognize
protitably. If any of the States had laws
under which these banks could issue cur
rency, there might be some temptation to
them to go out of the SYSTEM although |
doubt if their circulation would be accepted
generally then. Again, money now COM
mands five and six per cent, and the banks
cannot afford to retire their circulation
while 1T is as valuable as that, There never
was time when the banks were making as
much money as now.
So we may conclude that the Treasury
will continue its policy OF rapid bond
calls until the whole three per cent. loan
OF over $30O,0O0,OOO is called in, saving
to the taxpayers over $9,000,000 annu-
ally in interest, and above all setting free
over $500, 100000 OF idle capital to seek
investment in the productive Industries
ol the country. 1t will be strange indeed
if some OF this does not find its way to
the mining regions of the West, and Utah
will in all probability reap proportion
ate share OF the benefit to be derived
from this wise policy of our Democratic
Administration.

DUBoIs' pro-Chinese record is being ef-
fectively used against him in the Con-
gressional canvass in Idaho. 1t is charged
and not denied that while Marshal of the
Territory he gave the preference to the
Chinese ranchers in furnishing supplies
for the penitentiary. 1t is further charged
that when the anti-Chinese agitation
caused so many Mongolians to emigrate
from Boise City and vicinity, Dubois ac-
tually cut off most of the supplies and re-
duced the prisoner s diet to beans straight,
and although importuned by many
white farmers to purchase their produce,
he refused to patronize aught but the
Celestials, with whom he had private
contrac Is.

THERE were two full-hedged Mormons
who sat as Delegates in the Republican
Territorial Convention in Idaho, and
who doubtless voted for Dubois for the
nomination for Delegate to Congress.
The Mormon Delegates were expelled,
every one OF them, from the Democratic
Convention, John Haley refusing to ac-
cept the nomination if they were per-
mitted to remain. If the issue is to be
made exclusively upon the Mormon
question, which party in Idaho has the
best record, and which candidates has
the best claim to anti-Mormon support?

THE Provo Enquirer, denounces John
HALEY as an enemy OF the Mormons,
accusing him OF desire to rob them of
every right they possess as citizens. The
morning Republican organ here, charges
him with being Jack Mormon, and u
friend to the members OF the disloyal
Church organization. Who shall decide
when such eminent Doctors disagree?

THE Washington news service reports
that the Government receipts were very
heavy last month, averaging 100000
day, and are over 100000 in excess OF
the current expenditure for the same
period. 1t is by such figures as these
that our Republican friends are war
ranted in emphasizing Democratic inca
pacity to govern.

New York, February 22.-Capt.
Robert Clark, his wits and daughter
and fourteen seamen, survivors OF the
American chip Frank N. Thaver,
which was burned at sea on January
4th 200 miles southeast Of st. Helena,
reached this city to-day from Liver
pool. Capt. Clark lie a typical Ameri-
can sailor, very tall, with coal-black
beard, hair and eyes. Were
it not that he occasionally
placed his hand on an ugly plaster
covered cut upon his right cheek no

fered from the effects Ct his encounter
with the two crazy Manila seameD,
who, before firing the ship, endfavored
to wipe out every white man on board.
When a reporter spoke to him his
eyes frightened, and after long
pause he said: 81 am not in mood
TO tell you al about my experiences

agony. After my arrival in Eng

"Were the Manila sailors ill-tIeat: d

asked. "They were not, beyond the
fact that they received cuff from the
chief officer for insubordir ation."
