BEFORE JUDGE zANE's COURT.
IsirmIng ham and Bovvcn sentenced,
Cannon Found guilty, and Dim
woodey Will obey the Law.

The cases of Henry Dinwoodey and
Abraham III. Cannon were among the
business set for to-day in the Third Dis
trict Court, and the prominence of Mr..
Dinwoodey, particularly, and general
curiosity to see what the gentleman would
do. brought out big attendance this
morning.
Before proceeding TO try these cases
the Court passed sentence on Thomas
Birmingham to the extent of six months
imprisonment and $500 fine with costs,
and some few hours later, after taking a
farewell leave OF his friends, he was taken
out to the penitentiary
The three cases against Charles Liv-
ingston were continued till March LIST, in
accordance with the request Of his attor-
neys.
Abraham III. Cannon's was the first
case called up. The defendant, at his
own request, took the witness stand, and
acknowledged the charges set forth in
the indictment. In answer to one of Mr..
Dickson's questions he said, eyes, and l
thank God that they are my wives" or
something very much like this. His sem
tence was deferred till March 18th.
A good deal OF interest was manifested
when Henry Dinwoodey's case was
called UP, as many of his friends had
been given to understand that he would
take the course necessary to avoid the
penitentiary. 1t had recently leaked out,
however, that he was going to plead
guilty and take his six months imprison-
ment, as a result of the terrible scoreing
given John Sharp and others who prom
ised to observe the law in future.
Mr.. Brown, his attorney, notified the
Court that the former plea of not guilty
was withdrawn and that the defendant
now desired to plead guilty. Mr.. Dick
son stated that Mr.. Dinwoodey had been,
for sometime past, observing the law, and
he had good reason for presuming that
the defendant would continue SO to live.
He therefor moved that the Court sus-
pend sentence in this case, and the Judge
consented to do so.
The next case was that of John Bowen,
OF Tooele. which was disposed Of in pre-
cisely the same manner as Mr.. Cannon's,
the defendant making full acknowledge
ment of the charges in the indictment.
He was accordingly found guilty and was
sentenced to six months imprisonment
and fined $500 with costs. He was taken
out later in the day TO the Pen in COM
pany with Thomas Birmingham.
In the case Of Edward Ratch vs.. q. f..
Prescott, judgment by default was al
lowed defendant, and the court adjourned
till tomorrow at 10 Il. IN.

ANOTHER ELECTRIC LIGHT.
The ThcrnsOn-Houston Threatens
Competition for Local Business
A Fine Encandescent system.

Last evening DEMOCRAT representa-
tive had the pleasure OF an interview with
MIR. III. Nj. Ogden, one OF the Western
representatives OF the Thomson-H Houston
Electric Light Company, OF Boston, who
is now in Utah in the interest OF his COM
pany, and who purposes shortly to show
the people here the advantages OF this
particular system of lighting, and also to

Introduce it for commercial and all other
uses in which it may be feasible.
Tie Ihomson-Houstons system of light
ing is claimed to be the one par excel
lcnce OF all others-both in the arc and
lncandescent lines-and the numerous
testimonials, including the only gold
medal awarded at the recent London
inventions Exhibition, seem to fully bear
out this claim and lend assurance to the
representations made. The machinery
differs in some details from the Brush
dynamos, avoiding Pickering, and in
stree. and commercial lighting much
superiority is alleged, while in the
incandescent lamp q perfect success
has been attained in all respects.
Everything is automatic in the system,

the incandescent light point has been
reached that electricians have striyen tn

graduation OF the light; hitherto nothing
but the full light or complete darkness
has been the result. The Thomson
Houston Company claim light that will
give any degree OF power; that il, it can
be regulated from an almost impercepti-
bic soft, low glow TO its most brilliant
point OF illumination; and that 1t is the
only company whose patents control this

The attraction at the Salt Lake Theatre
tomorrow night and Friday night, and
also Saturday matinee, will be Evans and
Hoey and their excellent company OF
comedians in the mirtll-provoking
and rafting entertainment, "a Par

laughably absurd, rollicking and nonsen-

OF late years have become so popular.
What is more, it is interpreted by a band

OF the play, and for hearty laugh they

TRUE EDUCATION.

If there were no more of man after
finishing up this life, his education
would be as all other animals-natu-
raj, the same to day that it was six
thousand years ago. But the fact that
man lives hereafter, is evidence why
he should be taught to think and act
for himself intelligently through life
The successful men and women of
this and all other ages, are those who
had good teachers ut home, and bet
ter ones in the school-room. Such
teachers as urge their pupils to con
tend for what they believe to be righ-
and to cheerfully yield when convint
ced of their wrong. The curse of
this age is low pay, and consequently
poor teachers (?) who simply teach
the boys and girls to be conceited by
the examining system, and make them
believe, when really they know moth
ing that they know all that is to be
known. The schools and colleges
that send young men out into the
world as book worms, cripple them
for life The duty of every institu-
ton of learning is to arouse an ankle
ty in the youth S mind to know more
and more, and to be determined to
search for it. When such is the case,
the world soon endorses his diploma
and success meets him on every hand.

tried to drive her away, but she

that the colt was not with her, and
he followed the mare. She ran on
ahead of him, continually turning
to see if he was coming, and thus
led him to an old prospect hole into
which the colt had fallen. With the
