William Brannon pleaded guilty to the
charge of being drunk, in the Police Court
this morning, and was fined 50.
A pleasant shower of rain commenced
falling this morning, accompanied by some
lighting and thunder.
The movable elevator used in building
the stone front of the Cullen Hotel works
to perfection, and greatly facilitates what
would otherwise be u most tedious process.
Briscoe, the man who was examined in the
Police Court yesterday afternoon on the
charge of receiving stolen goods, was bound
over to await the action of the Grand Jury
in the sum of 5000
Corinne ia the banner Gentle precinct of
Utah. With but single exception all OF
the votes cast there were for Col. Ferry for
Delegate TO Congress. The single ballot for
John II. Caine was cast by Il female unlaw-
full cohab who evidently believes in certain
privileges granted by the Mormon Church
being extended to her own, as well rs to the
Bterner Sex.
Good progress is being made in the ar
rangements for the coming grand concert
and ball to be given by the Hebrew Benevo-
lent and Relief Societies No money, or
trouble is being spared where it is seen that
it will be to the advantage of the affair, and
it is a foregone conclusion that the audi
enoe will be quite large enough to justify
the expense.
prominent member of Bishop Whitney 3
ward in good standing, in speaking of the
scheme of holding meetings in private
houses, was heard to say: I'D like to see
them hold meeting in my house. do
mated money to build that chapel for place
of worship and they can't make church of
my home" Very good sentiments, if they
are only lived up to.
The Supreme Court of the United States
has denied the motion to dismiss the appeal
in the Territorial office cases. AS it was pre-
arranged to have the cases advanced on the
calendar in case of such q ruling, there Is nc
doubt that the matter will be heard upon its
merits before many weeks. No one will re-
greet that it has gone to the Supreme Court,
because all are sure of the result, and there
will be certain satisfaction in showing the
saints that there is no court in the country
that will smile upon their efforts at usurpa-
tion.
Wright, the man against whom such hor.
rible charges are made, was formerly @
member of the Mormon Church, but was
severed from that body some time ago. In
his younger days he was sent by the Saints
10 the Sandwich Islands as missionary, and
for time stood quite high in the ranks. He
was reported to have been engaged to q
daughter of the prophet Brigham many years
ago, but the affair was broken off, and he

The action of members of the Home Ora,
matio Club of Salt Lake, in refusing to al
low its members to play for the benefit of
b. MoKean Post No. l, G. A. r., ought tC
settle the question with loyal citizens as tC
attendance upon future shows by this pre-
tentious organization. The insult offered by
the reporter of the Mormon morning paper
to one of the ladies' who kindly consented tC
HI vacancy in the program, would have
disgraced savage. The would-be critic, as
n leading member of the Home Dramatic
Club, wantonly added insult to injury.
Abe Hunter, who rents ranch over Jor
dan, was arrested this morning on charge
of battery, and will be tried this afternoon
II appears that Abe had employed one Thos
Williams to work for him, and that the
latter became tired yesterday and decided
to quit. Hunter valued Williams services
too highly to let him go, and so he made
very positive objections. Williams insisted
that he should stay, until they broke Out
into quarrel, and Hunter wound up by
affeotionately chewing Williams thumb
and otherwise spelling his beauty. Will
liams swore out a complaint, and the Court
will pass upon the matter.
There is likely to be a little kicking done
by some Of the lambs of Bishop Whitney
who has suffered so much of late from an
overdose of religion, brought on by dis
ordered liver. 1t will be remembered that
he, not long since, published his intention OF
holding meetings in the several houses in
the ward on different nights during the
week in addition to the regular Sunday
gatherings at the meeting house. 1t will be
agreat trial for some of the well-to-do Saints
in that vicinity to turn their elegant parlors
into q club house for the uncouth and un-
clean of the ward, and it will be equally
trying for the poorer people to try and
make their best rooms look well enough to
receive their richer neighbors. Come,
Bishop, there's place for everything. Try
to separate your liver from your religion,
and whom one gets disordered don't let it
affect the other.
