TAYLOR, March 31.-A fire about three
o'clock this morning, on the corner
of Main and Milan streets, destroyed a
two-story frame building, with shed at
tached, adjoining the brick business
house "of Melasky g. Goldstein. The
losers are as follows: Building belong
ing to Mrs. A. M. Long, total loss-in-
sured in Southern Insurance company for
$1,000; Shoaf d Bowers, grocery and
feed store, nearly total loss-insured in
Hartford for 1000; ten buggies in shed
room belonging to j. G. Cannon, total
loss-insured in St. Paul for $500.
The total loss will amount to something
more than insurance.
r. u. Herric, formerly of the Stock Yard
National bank, of Chicago, and DR..
Ennis, of st. Louis, and the Missouri
Pacific railway, have been in Taylor for
several days, and i'll connection with John
r. Hoxie, G. II. WEIGH, and other capital
lists, were fixing up organization papers
for the purpose of establishing the First
National bank. of Midland, on the Texas
& Pac fic railway. Herric, and DR..
Enni i, left for the north last night for the
purpose of completing their arrangements
for the institution with the comptroller
at Washington, d. c., and John R. Hoxie
left for Hot Springs, Ark, to give his
constitution another boil out, and recup-
crate his health sufficiently to give the
bulls aud bears of Wall street another
three million tussle.

The supposition is that it is for the pur-

CORSETS MAKE A LADY'S wATCI

From the savannah News.

young lady of Columbus, about to
visit the generating station of the electric
light company, was told to leave her watch
at home, lest it might be magnetized by
the strong electric current. She did so, but
complained afterward that her watch
would not keep good time. She sent it to
jeweler, but he reported thatlit was not
magnetized and kept good time. Still,
whenever she carried it her time was too
slow, although when she left it in her room
it ran correctly. A gentleman who knew
of the circumstances suggested to the
young lady that she wear another pair of
corsets when next she carried the watch.
She did so and had no further trouble with
the watch. The steel springs in her cor
sets had been magnetized.

DEMENT, REDIVIyUS.

The Tribune OF this morning publishes
n special dispatch from Washington
which states that President Cleveland
has renominated Mr.. Dement, to be Sur
veyor-General for this Territory. 1t
seems that this action was considered
necessary because OF the Senate's neglect
to officially notify the Executive of the
confirmation OF the former nomination,
for the reconsideration of which it will be
remembered that motion was entered
by Senator Conger OF Michigan.
The DEMOCRAT takes this action on the
part of the President to mean that he
has heard sufficient to convince him that
his nominee is not fit person to be re-
tanned in Office, and to the end that the
nomination may be rejected without
further embarrassment to the Senate, he
again places Mr.. Dement'S name before
that body. Its rejection will follow as n
matter OF course, and Mr.. Dement'S oc-
cupation in Utah will be gone.
1t is to be hoped that the next APP
pontee to the Office OF Surveyor-General
oil Utah will be a Democrat, man who
knows beans when the bag is open, and
one who is not obliged through all four
seasons OF the year to keep chunk OF
ice on his bumps OF discovery and loquac-
ity to prevent him from making reyela-
tions that will paralyze the whole blessed
country from one end to the OF her.

MORMON INFLUENCE.

A Tribune special says that extraor-
binary efforts are being made by the
Mormon lobby to secure the removal OF
Judge Zane and District Attorney Dick
son. The DEMOCRAT is firm in the be-
lief that there is no Federal office in the
country held by Republican that could
not be equally as well filled by a Demo-
crat. 1t also confesses to decided lean
ing towards the doctrine OF, TO the victors
belong the spols. 1t would, however,
deprecate the removal OF either OF those
gentlemen through Mormon influence, as
it would be an undescrved reflection
upon their official acts They have both
ably performed their duties and deserve
the respect and gratitude of Democrats
and Republicans for the fearless and
faithful manner in which they have vim
dicatcd the law and warred upon ccclesi-
astica harlotry and treason. II dis
placed, it should be upon the ground that
it would be preferable for the President
TO have men in official positions
who are in sympathy with his Admins
tration, and not that their courses
have been other than it would be dcsir-
able for their successors to pursue. We
are not fearful, however, of the Admin
istration succumbing to that character of
influence, or OF the removal OF either
Judge Zane or Mr.. Dickson in any such
a manner as would suggest discounten-
ance or distrust of their official acts. The
President is pretty fully posted in regard
to Utah matters, and although he has
made some mistakes, he is not likely to
commit any so serious as would result
from yielding to Mormon solicitation in
regard to the removal or appointment OF
any important Territorial official.

WE MAY BE HAPPY YET.

President Cleveland has been in office
over year, and has as yet made no
move to drag Utah into Statehood. The
laws have been enforced here with as
much rigidity as during the administra-
tlon OF his predecessors, and there is
nothing in the outlook which indicates
danger of the interposition oi Federal au-
thority TO compel the Gentiles to pay tith-
ing to the Mormon Church. Taking these
things into consideration, the hope NAV be
reasonably entertained that the appoint-
ment OF Democratic Governor, Chair
man OF the Commission, and Marshal.
will not precipitate that fearful condition
OF things SO graphically outlined by II
portion OF the Republican Gentilcs as
the result OF Il Democratic Administra-
ton Let the loyal Republicans give
TO the new officers that hearty
support which the Democrats so cheer
iully bestowed upon the present incum-
bents, and everything will glide along as
smoothly as though the machinery OF the
Government was fabricated with Repub-
lican instead OF Democratic oil. The
work OF reformation will continue, and
our Republican friends will be made
happy in spite of themselves by the
suppression oi lechery and trea-
son and the Inauguration of an
era OF loyalty, good morals and gem
eral prosperity. In the language OF the
immortal bard, "All's well that ends

THE NEW CIRCUIT JUDGE.

President Cleveland yesterday sent to
the Senate the nomination of Senator
Jackson of Tennessee, to be Circuit Judge
OF the United States for the Fifth Judicial
Circuit, vice Judge John Baxter (whose
death after u brief illness occurred at
Hot Springs, Ark, on the I'd inst.), and
the Senate promptly confirmed the
nomination.
Howell Edmunds Jackson, whom this
appointment brings prominently to the
front as the Judge before whom the great
telephone suits will shortly be heard at
Columbus, Ohio, is q native OF Tennessee,
and at the present time ia serving that
commonwealth in the capacity OF u
United States Senator, having been cleo
ted in 1880 for Il six years term. He is
known TO be Il man possessed OF rare
abilities, having received thorough
classical education and graduated with
high honors from two OF the first law
colleges in the country. His appoint
ment was urged by all the Tennessee
delegation except his colleague, Senator
Harris. who is suspected OF having enter
tanned Il desire to secure the appointment
for HIMSELF, and many Senators from
other States pressed his nomination upon
the President, assuring him that the
compliment could not be paid to more
worthy or able man.
Judge Jackson will undoubtedly prove
valuable acquisition to the judicial force
OF the country, and the President is to be
congratulated on securing his acceptance
OF the office.

TWO EDITIONS.

The DEMOCRAT now issues two editions
daily, the first in time to connect with
the special train for Park City which
leaves here at 4:l5 p. M This edition
contains all OF the telegraphic news re-
ceived up to > 40 p. M, as well as local and
all other matter collected up TO that time.
lBy this arrangement the people OF Park
City, Ogden, and all other places on the
line OF the road are furnished on Mondays
with thirty-sx hours, and OH other week
davs with twelve hours, later telegraphic
and local news than they can procure from
the morning papers OF this city. The
second edition leaves here on the regular
train at ) 10, connecting with the West
ern bound Central Pacific and Northern
passenger trains, conveying TO these route
connections twelve hours later ntelli-
gence than any other Salt Lake paper.
This arrangement is made for the benefit
OF our Northern and Western readers,
and although entaiing considerable adj
ditional expense, we are confident that
our enterprise will be appreciated by the
people who are thus furnished with later
news than thev can obtain from any
other sn1rre

RECREANT CoNGREssMEN.

McKenna and FELTON,, Congressman
from California, voted against the Free
Coinage bill. We do not envy them the
receptions they will encounter upon their
return to their constituents in the Golden
State California is scarcely less inter
ested directly in the upholdng and ad'
vancement OF silver than Nevada or
Colorado. Her silver production, which
is very considerable at present, is con-
stantly increasing, and silver mining will
in the near future constitute most i'm
portant factor in her industrial exhibit.
Thousands of her citizens are inter-
erted in silver mines in other
States and Territories, and her prin-
cipal city is indebted to the Comstock for
a large proportion OF its present wealth.
1t is hard to conjecture the character OF
the influence which would induce two
representatives from any portion OF the
Pacific Coast to oppose u measure which
was so nearly unanimously endorsed by
those who elected them. They have the
unenviable distinction of being the only
members from west OF the Rocky Noun
tains who so bascly betrayed their trust.
1t is needless to remark that Messrs.
McKenna and FELTON, are Republicans.

OUR NEW MARSHAL.

The nomination OF Frank II. Dyer for
the Marshalship of Utah will prove EN-
inently satisfactory to the loyal and law
abiding people OF the Territory. His
reputation as an active, clear-headed and
onterprising business man is an assurance
that under his management the office will
be conducted with Judgment and ability
80 far as pertains to the civil portion OF
his official work. His well-known cour.
age, perseverance aud heartfelt SYM
pathy with the American element
OF the Territory is equally assuring
that he will prove IA powerful
auxiliary in wiping ont the foul
blots OF polygamy AMI treason which
have so long defaced our country's es.

of our National domain such an undcsir-
able abiding place for all not in sympathy

Mr.. Dyer was selected from twenty-eight
applicants, but the choice is no reflection
upon the merits OF the other candidates,
many, and in TACT most, OF whom
were well fitted for the position in
point OF ability. integrity and other
general qualifications, and whose
personal and political anteccdents en-
titled their claims to consideration from
our Democratic Administration. The
appointee is Il thoroughbred Democrat,
having the principles OF his party at
heart, and while it may be safely predicted
that he will not permit partizanship to i'll
terfere with his official duties, the history
and reputation OF the gentlemen warrants
the assumption that his career as Mar.
shal will reflect not only credit upon
himself, but upon the Administration
which conferred upon him his position

MIR. BUTTONS SAD CASE.

The Washington correspondent OF the
New York Sun says the Senate Postofiice
Committee, to whom are referred all
nominations OF postal officials above a
certain grade, are dealing with especial
severity with newspaper editors who
have been made Postmasters. Ever
since Congress convened the committee
has been deluged with letters containing
extracts from newspapers edited by these
men, which contain assaults upon the
Senators who are expected to vote upon
their confirmation One conspicuous case
OF this sort is found in Virginia.
The gentleman's name is Button, and he
was appointed last May as Postmaster in
place OF Republican. Since his appoint
ment he has made the columns OF his
journal, the Lynchburg Wrginian, very
interesting reading for number of Sem
ators belonging to the "Grand Old Party, -
aiming his shafts more particularly at
Senators Logan, Sherman Conger and
Hoar, and now these assailed statesmen
propose to get even by rejecting Mr.. But
toms nomination, Below, out OF Il whole
column OF such paragraphs, we quote a
few OF the pleasant references which Mr..
Button has made to the above-namel
Senators:
Black Jack Logan is going around exhib-
lung himself aS an ignorant mutton head
and mountebank.
Black Jack Logan comes along splutterinp
ms bad grammar in dirty diatribes against
the South, and Hoar pronounces the Illinois
ourang outang Il superior being.
Hoar places the semi-civilized Logan
ranting with bloody shirt politics in ont
landish English upon a higher pedestal than
the polished Lowell.
Logan Is an INSCRIPTIONS crank. Lonan
took up the demagogical life in his Boston
harangue and split the sides of his Goldfish
hearers by his miserable grammar and
ludicrous solecisms.
There are III this country two conspicuous
ly talented and bad men-sordid, selfish
and unsorupulous, and dishonest-notori-
ously crooked in both public and private
life. whether John Sherman or James &.
Blaine Is the bigger scoundrel depends upon
the opportunities each may happen to enjoy.
John sherman Is one of the most unscrpu-
l3us scoundrels and at the same time one of
the most skillful leaders in the country.
very bigoted man, yery bitter man. a
very bad man is John Sherman. There was
never more thoroughly detestable and
selfish scoundrel.
Blaine and Sherman are weather.beaten
demagognes and perjured scoundrels.
John sherman IS the biggest thief, Blaine
the smartest rascal, Whitelaw Reid The most
yenal wretch, but jay Gould owns him,
Hoar is the hoariest sinner and white-Iiyered
onlon-eating, nasal-twanged old hypocrite'
Unfortunately for the peace of the country
and the dignity of the United States Senate,
the latter body happens TO be possessed of a
slang-whanger by the name of %, d, Congar
the clown Of the Senate.
1t is safe to say that the Senators whom
Mr' Button has thus complimented will
notpermit his nomination TO be confirmed
II they can prevent it.

Mr.. Sharp Had the Aldermen "Fixed"-Ad-
journment on the Eve of Discovery.

New YORK, Feb. 27-The Broadway surface
railroad investigation was continued to-day.
George E. Powell. who was employed by Jacob
Sharp to obtain the consent of Broadway prop
erty-owners, testified to frequently seeing Billy
Maloney at conferences held with Sharp and Fo-
shay at the Fifth.avenue Hotel. Maloney once
description, was about the size Of a
package of greenbacks The witness did
not know what was in it. the
witness once told Sharp that he
feared if the Mayor should veto the resolution
by the Board of Aldermen granting the Broad
way railroads franchise, the result would be
disastrous The witness continued as follows:
He [Sharp] said he had the board fixed, and
that the resolution would be passed over the
Mayors veto. He did not name any sum of
may have done 80, but don't remember
having named to him the sum of
100000 as the amount which was
or mad been, necessary for that work. He did
not seem to have any apprehensions as to fail
ure of the board to pass the resolution, but he
pooh-poohed the idea. and said It's all -
nonsense
The witness averred that Billy Maloney took
no part IN the consultations whaR the witness
was present, but supposed he was there on some
business connected with the Board of Aldermen,
of which he was reading clerk. He usually
waited till after the witness left

and denied that he had made preparations to go

books which he brought, several of those called

An unproxoked stahbinr.

Special to the indianapolis Journal
EVANSVILLE, Ind, Feb 27.--Shortly after
o'clock this evening a party of men were on their
way from a rock quarry, about seven miles from
this city, to saloon near Zipp's postofice.
When near their destination they met negro
named Taborer. who exchanged few words
with them, and then, with apparently no provo
cation at all, he drew a huge knife from his
pocket and stabbed one of the party,
named VIM Atkinson, in the abdomen.
The men did not learn until after they
arrived at the saloon that Atkinson was injured.
On learning that the negro had inflicted seri-
Gus wound they started in pursuit of the assail-
ant, but up to IL o'clock tonight he had not
been arrested. DR.. Owen the county physician,
was called, and found that the unfortunate man
had received his death wound, the knife
having entered the abdomen two inches to
tho left of the navel, causing hemorrhage.
The physician stated that he could not possibly
live longer than midnight Sheriff Schaum and
deputy started in search of Taborer A great
deal of excitement prevails in the vicinity where
the crime was committed, and if the negro is
captured by the wounded mans friends it is
probable that he will be lynched
